If you know anything about Bond… you know we have a particular distaste for “design trends”. Which is exactly how Capolavoro granite made its way into this kitchen.

Once considered a staple, then labeled “out” by the internet design gods… and now sitting quietly in its underrated era. But here’s the thing… good materials don’t actually go out of style. They just need to be reinterpreted.

We opted for a leathered finish, which brings depth, lived-in texture, and a more grounded, mountain-appropriate feel.

So no… we’ve never cancelled granite. We’re just using it better ✌🏼

Favorite detail in this cozy living room… ready, set, GO! 👇🏼

We’ve tried to pick just one… we’ve failed. Spectacularly.

It’s the reclaimed wood beams. But also the rolled steel fireplace. And the shin toasters?? Don’t even get us started. Then there’s the oversized chandelier, the terracotta lamps, and that perfectly moody, earthy palette tying it all together.

So yeah… it’s a toss up.

We’ve designed a lot of bunkrooms over the years… and if we’re being honest, we used to kinda dread them. Tight layouts. Weird to design. And don’t even get us started on putting sheets on all those beds 👀

But after enough installs, enough trial and error, and enough scraped knuckles tucking sheets… we finally cracked a few simple tips that make bunk beds way easier to live with.

Here are the 5 things we never skip:

1. Add extra space around your mattress.
Give yourself at least 2 extra inches on all sides. It makes tucking bedding in so much easier… no wrestling required. Your knuckles will thank you.

2. Utilize all the “dead” space.
Drawers under lower bunks. Storage in the stairs. Every inch should pull its weight. Extra blankets, pillows, overnight bags… bunkrooms always need more storage than you think.

3. Add a niche, a light, and an outlet in every bunk.
Every guest gets their own little setup. A reading light, a place to charge their phone, a spot for water or a book. It makes each bunk feel intentional, not like an afterthought.

4. Choose wide steps over ladder rungs.
Bare feet and skinny ladders are not friends. We always go for wider steps or a staircase when we can. It’s more comfortable, safer at night, and just feels better overall.

5. Create a little privacy.
Partitions, curtains, or even breaking bunks into smaller zones. Even in shared spaces, people want a tiny retreat of their own.

If you’re designing a bunkroom, save this. And if you want to see how these play out in #TheBackNine, the full home tour is up on YouTube… link in bio. 🔗✌🏼

We’ve designed dozens of bunkrooms over the years... and if we’re being honest, we used to dread them.
They felt tight. Awkward to design. And we hated putting sheets on all the beds.

But after enough installs, enough experience, and enough scraped knuckles tucking sheets, we cracked the code.

These are the 5 design moves we swear by now:

1. Add extra space around your mattress. Give yourself at least 2 extra inches on all sides of the mattress. It allows bedding to be tucked in without a wrestling match. Your knuckles will thank you.

2. Utilize dead space for storage. Drawers under the lower bunk. Storage built into the stairs. Every inch should work. Extra blankets, pillows, overnight bags... bunkrooms need more storage than you think.

3. Add a niche, a light, and an outlet in every bunk.
Every guest gets their own little moment. A reading light. An outlet to charge their phone. A niche for glasses, water, or a book. It makes each bunk feel intentional instead of temporary.

4. Choose wide steps over ladder rungs. Bare feet and skinny ladder rungs do not mix. We always opt for wider steps or a staircase when layout allows. It’s more comfortable, safer at night, and feels far more considered.

5. Create a sense of privacy. Break up bunks into smaller rooms like we did here... or add curtains to each bunk. Even in a shared space, people crave a little retreat of their own.

Bunkrooms can either feel chaotic... or incredibly thoughtful. These five shifts are what changed everything for us.

If you’re designing one, save this. And if you want to see how we brought these tips to life in this #TheBackNine project, you can watch the full home tour on our YouTube channel. Link in bio 🔗✌🏼

You already KNOW a cozy mountain home isn’t complete without bunk beds. Like… it’s basically law at this point.

We kept things warm ‘n cozy in this bunk room / family hang / game zone… then layered in colorful plaid and a punchy bordeaux houndstooth pattern to keep it from taking itself too seriously. #TheBackNine

Still recovering from last week’s install… in the best way.

Love this team so much 🫶🏼

Happy Monday, friends! Updates from the desert 🌵↓

We spent last week installing #BoulderHorizons and I fear we may have outdone ourselves… respectfully. We’re still waiting on a few finishing touches before we photograph this beauty later this spring, but we physically couldn’t resist sharing a few sneak peeks!

What’s your favorite detail so far? For us, it’s a toss up between the shower boulder and the slightly judgemental alpaca 🦙🪨

Introducing our latest design obsession... SHIN TOASTERS!

Small. Versatile. Adorable. Slightly unnecessary. Completely irresistible.

They’re compact, easy to tuck by the fire, and somehow make your great room feel 10x more fun without even trying. Would you use these?!

Hey hi hello… reporting live from absolute chaos over here 🤍

We are fully buried in boxes, accessories everywhere, chandeliers mid-air, beds half-made, team running in 47 directions… and we almost forgot to post today because #BoulderHorizons is in full install mode and she is demanding EVERYTHING from us.

But we couldn’t not share this moment… this plaid guest bedroom… because if you know Bond Design Company, you know plaid is basically a personality trait at this point. And if you’re new here, hi, welcome, this is what we’re like… and we’re apparently very emotionally attached to plaid.

Okay truly have to run… we’re finishing this entire house TONIGHT which feels both inspiring and slightly concerning.

Send snacks. Send help. Send a vacation immediately after this 🫶🏼

You guys were really into this pinstripe moment the other day… so obviously it earned a permanent spot on the feed.

This was one of those selections that felt very bold on the sample and was slightly intimidating for this client. It took some initial convincing, but installed in the space… it feels perfect. Like it was always meant to be there.

So let this be your little Tuesday reminder… sometimes the choices that feel the loudest on paper end up reading the most effortless in real life ✌🏼
