Small Bedroom ideas

[LegoCity2024]

Hi everyone. My son who is 11, has a tiny bedroom, the plan was to upgrade to a bigger house, but my divorce put a stop to that, and now I feel guilty that he's stuck in this tiny little room.

He's moving to secondary school in Sept and I'm really aware that he needs his own space to be decent. At the moment he has a mid sleeper and all his crap is stored underneath it, and then he has a couple of old sets of drawers for his clothes. Nothing really fits, it's awkward getting in and out of his drawers and it's just a massive mess (which I seem to be tidying constantly).

His room is 185cm wide and 218cm long, so the length is just a bit longer than a single bed.

Not sure if I'm hoping for a miracle, but I need a bed, storage, somewhere to put his clothes, and a desk - any ideas of tried and tested beds with all of that, and that also fits in a tiny room! I've looked in IKEA and Argos but they either have storage at the end of the bed, which he wouldn't be able to access, or they have a ladder that pokes out, which also isn't ideal.

Thanks!

Would something like this work? Lots of storage but might make the room a bit dark.

My bedroom was 6ft by 7ft. I had build in furniture the floor space was only big enough to have the door open - a lot of our neighbours had the door rehung to open out on to the landing. It fitted a single mattress but not a single bed so it was a custom made bed raised of the ground with storage under neath for long term storage as I could only access it by lifting the mattress and radiator built into the side. Next to the bed was a chest of drawers and a double wardrobe on the other wall. I had a board as a desk.
I'd start by looking into built in furniture to optimise space, storage under the bed and a fold up/down desk.

This is just about perfect I think - I searched for ages and I never found this! Thank you🤗

Thank you - yes I'm considering this as an option now - small bedrooms are so hard, especially when you've got a teenager who needs their own space

Is there any way you could redo the upstairs the layout and steal some space from another room? A friend did this, would involve a builder and lots of mess though.
