Build a corner element to join two twin beds in the kids' bedroom
When there are two, single, twin beds in a room, which are not mounted as bunk beds, but perhaps occupy two adjoining sides of the room, it is inevitable that a square, empty space is created between the ends of each of the beds themselves.
This is what happens in rooms where maybe two children or two teenagers sleep, because arranging their beds in this way - instead of placing them against the opposite walls or putting them together in the center - is often the best solution to create privacy and without taking up too much space. It also leaves two entire walls free, as well as the center of the room. In short, it is a measure that is sometimes the least encroaching to use to address specific needs. But what to do about the space between the two beds? Instead of filling it with a simple table, it is possible to consider inserting an angular shelf unit, which rises like a tower between the two beds, and can be used in a thousand different ways.
In the link below the first photo, you will find a tutorial for a DIY project that allows you to build a corner piece of furniture to be placed between the two beds, and which creates an perfect "L" formed by the two structures. It is a model that is inspired by most of these types of furniture, and are also available to buy on the market. It has a square base with one side as long as the short side of each of the beds. Above it, there are shelves that create a pentagonal shape. There are no sharp edges pointing to the center of the room, but there are still shelves orientated in the direction of each bed.
For this reason, if the beds are arranged in such a way as to have their heads turned towards the corner cabinet, this will act as a bedside table for each of the users of the room, thus eliminating the need to find two single pieces of furniture to be placed next to each bed.
In general, then, the beds joined by this corner object are container beds, with useful spaces for storing objects on the sides or even under the linked furniture structure itself.
Even with a sharp edges in a cubic configuration, this furniture is very beautiful to look at. And they can be built with the same wood used for the bed frames. They can be painted white or even with contrasting colors compared to the rest of the room's furniture.
Then there are those who then developed this idea in a different manner, raising a column made of bookcases up to the ceiling.
And it is not absolute that the side that touches the corner piece of furniture must necessarily be the head of the bed: it could in fact be left a little lower and used as a media console, placing a TV or monitor on top it, and each of the people lying on the beds with his feet facing the common corner would be able to see the images on the screen comfortably!
Would you like to decorate your children's room in this way?
