How to Draw a Loft Bed
Draw a loft bed in 12 steps, about 9 minutes. Free, with a printable worksheet.
Each picture adds one red line. Draw that line, then scroll to the next picture. Rub out any dashed helper lines at the end. First up: posts and floor.
Step 1: Posts and floor
Draw a floor line from edge to edge. Stand 2 tall thin posts on it, one near each side.
Step 2: The high mattress
A third of the way down draw a long flat soft box for the mattress, from post to post.
Step 3: Pillow and face
On the left of the mattress draw a puffy pillow with 2 round eyes, black dots and a smile.
Step 4: The blanket
From the middle of the mattress draw the blanket: a soft bump across to the right post, then down.
Step 5: Guard rail
From the left post draw a long bar over the pillow, ending in a short post down to the mattress.
Step 6: The ladder
On the right draw a ladder from the floor up to just above the blanket, with 6 rungs.
Step 7: The desk
Under the bed on the left draw a desk: a flat top and 2 thin legs down to the floor.
Step 8: The lamp
On the desk draw a lamp: a base, a short stem and a flat-topped shade below the bed.
Step 9: Blanket folds
Draw 2 soft curved lines down the blanket, from just under its top to its bottom, for the folds.
Step 10: Cream and yellow
Go over your lines, then colour the mattress cream and the lamp shade yellow. Leave the pillow and eyes white.
Step 11: Grey and wood brown
Colour the lamp stem and base grey. Colour the posts, rail, ladder and desk wood brown.
Step 12: Blue blanket
Colour the blanket blue, around the ladder, and your loft bed is ready for bedtime!

Follow the steps above and this is where you end up: a loft bed, drawn by you.
