Whether you’re creating a cozy sleep and play nook for your kindergartener or you’re looking to maximize your wall space, smart space-saving hacks will help you make the most of any room.
At Lori Beds, part of our mission is to help you make room for memories. Here is a list of our top space-saving ideas for students of every age and phase of their learning journey.
Elementary School: Room to Grow, Play, and Learn
Lori Bed Pick: Vertical Twin
Kids need both structure and freedom, and their personal space should support both. The Lori Bed in Twin size offers a sleeping solution that tucks away during the day, instantly freeing up room for imaginative play, creative learning, and convenient drawer space for storing toys, books, or clothes.
Space-Saving Upgrade Recommendation: Two Shelves
Our optional upgrade—two shelves—is perfect for organizing books, art supplies, toys, and other personal trinkets like picture frames or small action figures in a small space.
