Kids' Loft Bed Inspiration Loft Bed and Closet, Frankie Was Right When I was in college, my roommate and I got a loft bed system, and I thought it was the coolest thing ever. Not only did we have lots of floor space to hang out and study, I loved having the privacy and coziness of my own secret bed platform. For small spaces, a loft can be a great way to open up floor space, but even if you don't feel you need the extra room, a loft can be a great hideaway for a kid. Here are a few ideas to get you thinking about whether raising the bed could be for you and your kids. TOP ROW 1. Loft Bed and Closet (Frankie Was Right).
