Fitting out small bedroom for teenage daughter.

[missmouse1969]

I'm hoping someone can help me out / point me in the right direction please.

Moving to a new home and daughter will be having the smallest bedroom. 1.93m x 2.37m.

I've seen clever ideas over the years how to maximise on space but now I don't know when to look for ideas.

Does anyone know of a company that can help me please?

Ikea are the masters in space solutions, I'd head to a store to get some ideas.

Thank you @seaside3 why didn't I think of this - thank you

Lots of ideas on Pinterest too.
If you post a rough floor plan here you will get some suggestions.
DOes your DD have any thoughts/requests? Teens usually do.

You want a bunk bed, but a bed that is like full height near the ceiling and then nothing underneath. So she can put a bean bag chair or a desk or storage etc. Just make sure she or you can change the sheets!

Thank you both. Here's the floor plan.

Apart from the bed she would love a dressing table, desk etc.

IKEA stuva is marvellous.

Dd has a tiny room basically the length and width of a single mattress. We got a local joiner to make a bed, it sits on big drawers and at the foot has a book shelf up to the ceiling so her feet go under the bottom shelf. Works very well. Then small desk at the foot end of the bed and stuva wardrobe. There is genuinely space for everything and there is good floor space. Except she's a teenager so the desk, chair and floor have several layers of crap on them.

Just seen your floor plan. For us the bed is under the window. Before we had the custom bed built in we had a regular single along one of the walls (not quite the width for the bedframe under the window) but it made the room feel much smaller to open the door straight on to the foot of the bed

Yes, bed under the window.
Will find a great example of this from Houzz and come back with a link.

The first pic in the article could work, some good ideas and advice too.

low bed under the window with lots of cushions so it can double as a sofa.

IKEA - Pax wardrobe in the corner (W) with hanging space above and drawers below.

Desk (D) and a proper desk chair for schoolwork next to the bed

Bookshelf (B) or dressing table on the opposite wall. with a small light this can also double as a bedside table.

colourful rug on the floor to make it cheerful.

My teen has a very similar room and though I've offered her the chance to switch to a bigger room in our house, she wants to stay.

Depending on your budget, look at Studybed. Quite pricey (ours was about £2k pre pandemic) but makes excellent use of space and obviously that includes the cost of a bed and a huge desk, and is far cheaper than extending!

My DD has a small room and this is the layout we have for her except instead of the bookcase she has a narrow cube storage instead . It looks fabulous and makes her small room look much more spacious

I have a Studybed and it's fabulous! Totally makes the space work. Have a look on their website, or here's a quick demo by George Clark!

It's very easy to have wooden boxes made o fit under a bed, and to have casters fitted to them, and handles. The advantage to having someone name them is that they can be made 12-14 inches high (bed depends) and not the shop bought 6 inches. .

My dd has had a room like this. We also had the bed under the window, an ordinary height bed with drawers underneath. Then a chest of drawers on the opposite wall and a bookcase on the other wall at the bottom of the bed. She didn't have a wardrobe, we took it out because it made the room feel even smaller.

She kept all her school uniform on the banister and any that had to be hung up in her sister's wardrobe.

IKEA do a corner desk which might fit,

Check out the Ikea Smastad loft bed. The desk has two possible configurations - it could go under the window to get more natural light and so the wardrobe is accessible from under the bed (there two possible configurations for the wardrobe but I’m not sure if 2.37m is long enough for the wardrobe to open outwards).

I’d also get clever with lighting.

Built in bed - on drawers
Book shelf from the end of the bed to the ceiling.
Side shelf for charging phone, wall light.

wardrobe and dressing table on one side.

Think about mood lighting and mirrors - over door hangers, phone activated light bulbs.
