KALLAX is a fan favorite when it comes to dividing space, but it's not always the easiest to move around. If you live in a small apartment, like to change up your layout often, or just want something lighter, IKEA has several room divider options that are stylish, portable, and easy to fold or roll away.

Looking for a stylish and space-saving bed? The IKEA VITVAL bunk bed and loft bed frame are perfect solutions for modern homes. Whether you need a functional sleeping arrangement for kids or a compact setup for small spaces, VITVAL offers versatility and smart design.

IKEA-Inspired Kids' Room – Smart and Stylish Storage Solutions
During my visit to an IKEA store, I saw an inspiring children's room setup featuring the IKEA VITVAL bed. The room was designed for both function and aesthetics, incorporating a mix of storage and sleeping solutions. Alongside the VITVAL bunk bed, the space included:
PLATSA and SMÅSTAD systems for cabinets and drawers – perfect for organizing clothes and toys.
BESTÅ with LAPPVIKEN cabinets – ideal for storing books, games, and decorative items.
LAGKAPTEN and ALEX desk – a great workspace for homework, crafts, and creative projects.
This well-thought-out combination created a highly functional and organized room while maintaining a stylish and modern look. The VITVAL bed played a crucial role in maximizing the available space, making it an excellent choice for families looking to optimize smaller rooms.

Versatile Configurations – Bunk Bed or Loft Bed?
One of the best things about the IKEA VITVAL bed is its versatility. Whether you need a loft bed or a bunk bed, this frame adapts to your needs.
In one setup, the VITVAL was styled as a loft bed with a comfortable sofa underneath. This is a perfect solution for a small apartment, dorm room, or a teenager's bedroom, as it provides both sleeping and lounging space in a compact area.
Another clever configuration included the VITVAL bunk bed frame with an underbed, adding an extra sleeping area. This setup is excellent for siblings sharing a room or for accommodating sleepovers with friends.
The VITVAL bed's modern, minimalistic design, along with its sturdy metal frame and fabric sides, makes it a great addition to any contemporary space. Whether you choose it as a loft bed or a bunk bed, it offers flexibility, comfort, and efficient use of space.

I have personally assembled a VITVAL bed from IKEA, and I must say—it was not as complicated as I expected. While it is possible to do it alone, I highly recommend having a second person to make the process even smoother. IKEA provides excellent assembly instructions that are clear and easy to follow, ensuring a hassle-free experience.
The bed arrived in three separate packages, as you can see in the images at the bottom of this article. This thoughtful packaging makes transportation and handling more manageable. Once assembled, the VITVAL bed frame is sturdy, stylish, and a great addition to any home looking for a space-saving sleeping solution.
