Are you tired of your kid's cramped bedroom space, or do you need an extra sleeping area for sleepovers with family and friends? If so, then converting a closet into a bed nook may be the perfect solution for your home.

Supplies needed:

– Screwdriver or electric driver to remove existing closet components and doors – Putty knife – DAP Alex Plus Spackling  – Sandpaper – Face mask – Inside mount curtain rod brackets – Metal bed frame – Mattress & box spring

Before starting, you need to choose the right closet to convert into a bed nook. An empty or unused/underused closet in a bedroom or playroom is ideal. Measure carefully to make sure the closet is wide enough to fit a twin or full-sized mattress.

STEP 1

Remove and closet shelving and rods. Then repair and paint the walls as needed. 

STEP 2

After your wall repairs are done and your paint is dry, add your bed. We opted for an inexpensive metal bed frame and added a box spring and mattress. We hid the cheap bed frame with a bed skirt.

STEP 3

Add as much decor as you want! We used picture ledges from Ikea to store books. We also hung a lamp and some art.
