Small space idea

all, my daughters 3rd bedroom is just over 6x6 ft. It has a built in cupboard over stairs with a door but it's flush to bedroom. So no bulk head in room, just door that opens into space above stairs, so space inside is behind bedroom wall on landing. I don't know what this is called, sorry. I'm looking for ideas for my daughter to make best use of space. I thought of a closet tapered out at bottom with small drawers, or I dunno. When I google over stairs it only seems to show bulk head on room, or bigger rooms. Much appreciate clever ideas. Excuse mess!! 3rd pic shows cupboard over stairs behind wall but opens inside it's her only other storage.

How old is your DD ? Teen/tween?

IKEA do some good adaptable storage and instore they used to have a small apartment set up so you could see IRL how good they utilised space

I'm struggling a bit to make sense of it. Can I suggest you add a floorplan with measurements and repost on the Property & DIY board. It gets more traffic, and you'll reach more people keen on room design.

Also let them know what aspects are most important to your daughter (toy storage? bookshelves? desk?) and her age.

Could you raise her bed, bunk style and have space underneath?

I would get a bed with storage underneath, take the headboard thing off the wall, massive de clutter
