We have a small two bed flat (70m2) on two floors - a sitting room, a kitchen, a bedroom on one floor then stairs up to an attic room. At the moment DP and I have one room, DS (9 months) has his cot in the attic room alongside DP's desk which is quite big and laden with equipment.
We have just decided to take DP's DN in to live with us. We didn't plan for this to happen in this flat and I'm just pondering the best use of space.
Would it be better to put DS and DN in together in one bedroom, and us share the attic room with DP's desk (will be a terrible squash). Or should we put DN upstairs in DP's office and put DS cot in our room?
HOw does it work with a 12 year old and a baby?
The office can't move for practical reasons.
I really want to keep the sitting room so we all have somewhere to congregate.
Does anyone have any thoughts?
