Is this bedroom just too small

[BeauticianNotMagician81]

We have found a house that ticks most of the boxes. Loads of downstairs space, lots of storage, huge garden and perfect location. However, bedroom four is small. Ds2 aged 13 would be in bedroom 4. It measures 10'9 by 5'9 (3.28m x 1.75m). Could we make it work with space saving furniture. The current owners have a cot, wardrobe and small storage unit in there. This would likely be a forever home with potential to extend eventually. We have four DS.

What are your plans to extend?
If you are planning a loft extension, will DS 13 get first dibs on it?

Seems a shame to put teenager in box room if 2 year old is going to get big room to themselves

The plan for extension is either the loft if possible or in front of the master. This would be a few years off though.

My two year old will share with my five year old. The 13 year old doesn't want to share with the five year old as he has his own room now and my eldest is autistic so needs his own room.

If you could even "steal" space for a built in cupboard from the room beside it would really help- wardrobes take up a lot of space and feel very imposing in smaller rooms.

We just sold our last house because the bedroom was just so small. 7’3x7’11. The bed would fit either way which was a bonus but there was little option because of the door, window and raidiator. We had high shelves for her books and one chest of drawers. She shared the wardrobe in the other child’s bedroom as the height of the wardrobe made the room feel minuscule.

We are so stuck on what to do. We can't find somewhere that ticks all the boxes. This is the closest we've found and I love the downstairs. We might end up going further out than our favourite location and everything that's big enough is sooo expensive.

Think cheapest way is to move that dividing wall by about a foot. Then move bed 4 door down so it opens right in the corner towards the window end of the hall wall.

Then On the hallwall have a wardrobe built in floor to ceiling with drawers inside as well as hangers.
That will give more useable space as you can’t really put much down that side of the room at the moment because of the windows and door being in the middle of the wall.

Excuse the crap drawing. Dash line is the original wall position. Black rectangle Is wardrobe.

Moving the wall further into the next room would be a good way to even up the space. Even if you don't do that I'd definitely move the door into the little room along that wall closer to the window-wall, so you can put a bed along the wall opposite the window. That would give you better options for storage beds.

Thanks so much for the help. I'll show that to DH. I hadn't even thought about moving a wall so I'm really glad I asked on here. We really don't want to move again and this is by far our cheapest option as the only other houses we seem to like are new builds and are ££££££

Do you need that study downstairs? Could you make that a bedroom?

We have one 6ft 2 by 11 foot. We have an extra large single in it under the window (3 foot 6 wide) a desk with drawers and built in wardrobe and chest of drawers with over head storage cupboards. DD has had this room until 21.

Well planned fitted furniture is amazing.

Yes, move dividing wall between bedroom 4 and the one behind it 15 inches back. That will make it 7 ft wide and give you more options.

Make window on bedroom 4 floating bay - will also create more space - although not floor.

@BertBox that floor plan is current house. Floor plan further back is potential new house.

@MaybeitsMaybelline Good to know it can be done.

I like the idea of moving the door as that would make such a difference.

Ah, sorry! And there's me thinking I'd solved all your problems!
