Hello, we have a box room that is 1.7m x 3.2m and trying to figure out our best options for it to function well as a home office/guest room for the present and as a teenager's room in the future. It has a built-in wardrobe, so no need for additional wardrobe. The door is at one end of the long room and the window is the opposite end. We would like to have a single bed and a desk as the main things, with the option of creating a double bed for visitors. Due to the shape of the room and the doors of the wardrobe, the only configuration is to have the bed lengthways and the desk next to it under the window. Likely would opt for a foldable desk to make it easy to get it out of the way when double bed is needed. The options we are considering are:
IKEA stackable bed (https://www.ikea.com/gb/en/p/utaker-stackable-bed-pine-00360484/): this is 83cm x 205cm per bed, when placed next to each other it would just about fit. Advantage is that it allows for a 85cm wide desk next to it, but in the double-bed configuration it is a very low bed, not sure how comfortable that is.
Single bed + narrow trundle: A normal single is approx 100cm x 200cm, so two of them wouldn't fit next to each other. I reckon with a bit of diy we could make the trundle narrower (70cm) to fit the room exactly when in use and cut a foam mattress into this narrower width. Main disadvantage is that only a smaller desk would fit next to a standard single.
Narrow single + trundle: diy-ing both the single and the trundle to be approx. 85cm wide each. Would still be an acceptable size as a single bed and would allow for a decent sized desk, but would mean significant extra work from us to modify both beds (although I believe doable).
What do you think about these options, would any of them work you think? Or do people have other inspired thoughts? Cabin bed is not an option due to mobility issues. Thank you!
