Please may I have your thoughts on a 5 year old and 1 year old sharing a room

That’s it really, we have a three bed detached house with the third room being a small single - think toddler bed, wardrobe and changing unit, that’s it. However, it was my office before baby arrived in August and the intention was that we would have found a larger property and be moved before I returned to work in September. Obviously that has not happened and with me usually working from home and now my partner also doing the same for the foreseeable, we need a proper work space - partner currently has a desk set up in our bedroom, which isn’t ideal.

So I was wondering if a 1 year and 5 year old work in the same bedroom so we can restore my office for both of us? We could squeeze two desks in and we are both on laptops, so nothing too big at all.

It would mean bunk beds and the 1 year old being on the bottom or keeping him in his cot longer (we have yet to transfer to toddler bed as he is still too little), but maybe after Christmas this will be something we have to do, so could go onto the bottom bunk then, rather than a toddler bed?

Anyone been in a similar situation and happy to share their experience?

Thanks.

Oh and a decent chair, but could get this ordered from work as it’ll be ergonomic and better for my back.

Google fold down desk and you'll see lots of wall mounted ones. Made. Com or wayfair might be good. Alternately, get an old fashioned Bureau. You can use the drawers beneath for storage of other stuff and use the fold down part for you laptop.
