A crafty mum has showed off her clever DIY three-way bed design that allows all of her daughters to sleep in the same room together.
Australian mum Karlie built her own bunk bed set-up from scratch when she couldn’t find what she needed in-store and custom builds were too expensive.
She was desperate to create more space for her three daughters in their pint-sized 84 square metre room, so decided last October to take matters into her own hands.
Australian mum Karlie built her own bunk bed set-up as she dismantled her daughters’ bunk beds and cut them up to create a loft with two single beds, she then added a bed on top
Karlie first planned and sketched out the entire bedroom by hand so she knew exactly what the final product would look like.
As there was a timber shortage in 2021 due to Covid and shipping constraints, she innovatively dismantled her daughters’ bunk beds and cut them up to create a loft with two single beds.
Next she attached a top bunk bed to the now two single beds with sturdy bolts and gave the wooden beds a fresh coat of white paint.
Bedroom transformation decorations:
She finished decorating her daughters’ room with adorable Aussie animal pictures, a new pink rug, soft pink bedding, throw rugs and cute cushions
In between the two single beds Karlie created a small shelf and toy box using leftover timber from the old bunks

Once the DIY beds were complete Karlie began decorating.
She purchased a corner shelf from Facebook Marketplace and painted it white to match the beds.

Karlie says her three girls love the DIY bed set up just as much as she does and she couldn’t be happier with the room that’s successfully opened up the small space.
‘What a wonderful set up – love it – absolute genius! So pretty but still so functional,’ a woman wrote below Karlie’s post.
‘The room looks amazing! You must be so proud of yourself,’ a mum wrote.
