Below, you will find 14 proposals on how best to lay out, organize and decorate a room that has two single beds in it:

Is the room for two girls? Well, if they like it, why not use pastel colours? Let the girls choose the exact colors and shades. In the eample shown here, everything is harmoniously organized and everything is in its place, including the initials above the (correct) beds.

Perhaps you want to be "bolder" and go for a strong, rustic style. Here, warm tones dominate: orange, brown, yellow, beige. These "sunny" shades will make the room feel comfortable, while the two beds will give off the bold, rustic look. The color contrast is the most interesting feature in this room, but don't neglect the choice of furniture and proper lighting.

Bunk beds are an obvious choice for a two-bed room In this example, the color of the bunk's wooden frame is taken up by the decoration on the walls, fabrics used and the bed toys. And the string of lights make the whole ensemble even more enchanting.

Be transported to the African bush with this decor. The contrast between the black and white stripes immediately invokes images of zebras charging across the Savanha, no? And a central curtain provides individual privacy.

Head-to-head (or head-to-toe), it depends on the orientation the occupants prefer. Notwithstanding the choice, the idea of placing beds like this and dividing them with a center column is simply brilliant. Check out the example shown here see the harmony that this layout creates. Simply spectacular!

Wooden beds, a carpet on the floor, an awning over the window: this room feels like being catapulted onto a western film set. The color contrasts make this bedroom truly special (as do the signs with the occupants' names above their beds).

9. Black and white

Here, black and white provides the color contrast. The iron frames of the beds have a "regal" quality and fit in perfectly with the two-toned walls. A very interesting detail is the 4 paintings (divided into pairs) and placed above the beds and with their own lights. This bedroom will surely look spectacular at night.

This example is similar to the minimalist one shown above, but is more "open". The gray of the framework goes very well with the light color of the wood of the staircase and bulkhead of the bunk beds.

Placed to flank the window, these beds catch the light and make the bedroom feel "regal" - helped along with the furniture and colors used (for example, the splashes of yellow provided by the pillows are reminiscent of gold and luxury).  Who wouldn't want to sleep in a bedroom like this?

If the bedroom is on the small side, you may need to "get creative". For example, the two beds can be positioned up against the same wall, perhaps with a divider in the center for privacy. The choice for wooden plank cladding on the wall is very nice, providing a classic, warm feel to the bedroom. Overall, a wonderful solution.
