I Built A Futuristic Loft Bed For My Kids

What happens here

The builder outlines the design concept for the new bunk bed using a tablet to sketch ideas. The design includes a floating loft bed, integrated TV area, a wrap-around desk, hidden storage, and extensive LED lighting to create a 'Tron'-inspired, futuristic aesthetic. Emphasis is placed on maximizing space, as the room is small, and incorporating backlighting and intricate patterns. The builder consults with an online community for additional ideas to integrate into the design.

Goal: Conceptualize and plan the bed's futuristic design and features

Tools and materials

  • Stylus — Drawing on the tablet for precise design
  • Tablet — Sketching and visualizing the bed design

That's a part of my life I'll never get back. All right, so here's what I'm thinking. We're going to have a loft bed on top here, get some cool little intricate patterns and designs. Uh this part was going to be floating, and then down below we're going to use this wall there. We're going to have like a TV there, a nice wrap-around desk right there. I want to keep this part open so you can walk in from here, but we're going to need to suspend like a post there connected to our rafters to keep it flowing. This part was going to be reinforced there. And [snorts] then what I want to do is I want to have to kind of create that spacecraft kind of look. I want some backlighting, right? So, I want some stuff to stick out more. I want LED strips inside these contours. So, they're kind of putting out light. Basically, anything that has these weird patterns and shapes of like cabinets, they're all going to have backlighting on it. Essentially, it's like the inspiration I'm getting is the movie Tron where everything has all these like white etchings. I think that's going to create a such a cool space for a 10-year-old kid that, let's be honest, even a 37-year-old kid like me would probably enjoy being in. I'll put a war cry on our private community called the Builders Lodge for ideas, things I need to incorporate in this bed and I got some really good ideas from all of you there and I can't wait to start executing them. First things we're going to do is start working on the top sleeping platform, get all that reinforced, and uh it'll at least at that point give us a good structural bones to work off of.
