Childs small bedroom configuration

[LuckyAmy1986]

If anyone has any ideas id love to hear them. my DDs new room is just 2.7m by 2m, so not big, standard rectangle shape. I don't want to get her a high sleeper for practical reasons but a mid sleeper would be fine. She also needs a wardrobe in there and chest of drawers. Plus space for toys/books and a reading 'snug' (thinking this can go under the mid sleeper - or would I be better getting drawers under that?) i want the room to work for her but dont want it to feel too overcrowded. Any ideas from anyone with DC with similar small bedrooms?

One of mine has a very small room and just keep in mind that the under bed storage boxes are very useful and hold a lot. If you go for a cabin bed you actually lose the ability to use storage like that if keeping open for a reading space etc.

Excellent ideas here thank you, going to have a look at the Ikea website now. I didn't even think of shelving! That would solve a lot of issues. I was trying to work out how to get a bookcase in but shelves at the end of the bed on the wall would be great.

Can I ask, do DCs love having that space under the midsleeper as a reading snug, if any of yours have them? Or not bothered and would that space be better put to use with drawers and storage underneath?

DS loves the space, it's his 'hidey hole' and it is covered in lego. It's where he kicks all the loose lego the morning before the cleaner comes after he's heard the immortal words 'if she vacuums any up it's on you.'

DS has a tiny room (marginally over 2m²) and we had to construct his midsleeper as there was only length for a divan, and not enough space to assemble a conventional bedframe! It's suspended from the walls on heavy duty metal brackets. (And overhangs the window, I said it was small!) That also meant we didn't have to revert back to a tiny radiator.

Under the bed is a row of IKEA Besta shelves and drawers with an open top which gives a balance of storage and floorspace. There's space for a wardrobe next to the door with asymetric doors, a slim mirror panel and a larger door. Inside is mesh drawers and shelves. DS doesn't need wardrobe space and long term can access a wardrobe on the spare room for hanging space.

He loves it. He loves being concealed up in his bed lilke a den, or sitting behind the ladder and is actually happier for a small cosy room.

The furniture is white, 3 walls are white and the back wall and carpet are a strong colour, which maximise light and feeling of space as it's quite a minimal look.

My DDs room is the same size. Narrow shorty mid sleeper with kallax type unit and pull out desk underneath. Narrow IKEA wardrobe at the end. 2x IKEA trofast units on the opposite wall. It's just about adequate, she happily plays and draws in there and most of her stuff fits in.

I’ve literally just finished doing this to my daughters tiny bedroom.

I bought a mid sleeper from a website called Noa & Nani it was only £189 and the reviews were very good and showed photos o with the reviews.
I’m very happy with it.
I then put two IKEA eket (4 cube storage) underneath with those pull out canvas cube storage boxes.
That’s created a little reading snug / den / play area.
Fortunately the wardrobe in her room is built in.
