Urban Studio Apartment: Lofted Bed Above Dedicated Workspace

lofted bed workspace setup

Like that perfectly balanced work-from-home outfit (business on top, pajamas below), lofted beds free up precious square footage for a legitimate workspace underneath. It’s basically the grown-up version of bunk beds, except the bottom bunk is where you build your empire—or at least answer emails without your bed judging you from across the room.
