Loft beds using IKEA KRITTER kid’s beds

I just wanted to share an idea that can help people with limited space and want to re-use KRITTER type of kid’s beds for making loft beds.

The messy BEFORE. Space was tight

Materials for our KRITTER loft beds:

• KRITTER beds x 2
• STUVA frame with drawers x 4
• Wood boards

We had 2 KRITTER beds from IKEA. And my 2 daughters needed space for their study tables. My idea was to make 2 loft beds so I could install a table on top of 2 drawers.

First, I purchased some 25mm thickness boards and copied the same holes as the boards that the KRITTER beds have.

AFTER! Study tables tucked neatly beneath the elevated KRITTER beds

Then, I reinforced the bed using lateral stiffeners. This way the beds were strong enough. But the addition of some lateral buffers from wall-to-wall made the beds really stable.

I used 4 STUVA drawers and placed 2 table tops on top of them.

With the leftover bits of the table tops, I made some the ladder.
