It's a sad fact that smaller living areas like apartment and flats usually limit furniture ideas and arrangements, hence why a large bed might be a problem. But worry no more, as we just laid our eyes on a lofted bed collection that will solve all your space crunch problems. Custom made to fit your loft or basically any space you desire, the beds make use of the upper space of a room and look comfortable enough. Just don't go overboard at night.

These area a perfect DIY project and would work very well in a shipping container home! You could even utilize the space underneath for a bathroom or pantry area. This can be done rather cheaply by searching for large office desks or counters at office outlet stores, big-trash days or Craigslist. Something like a large L-shaped desk or couch, with a simple lofted bed built above it can transform a small room into a dual purpose area, especially in small cabins, containers or vacation homes!
