Turning your dinning room into a bedroom

[PopTheKettleOnx]

Ok, so has anyone done this? The layout of our house is large hall with stairs, living room comes off that, kitchen straight on and a separate good side dinning room off the kitchen.

Expecting DC3 and we currently have a 3 bedroom house, our children are already older being teen and pre teen and wouldn't even consider sharing a bedroom, other option is creating a downstairs bedroom and hopefully moving our child with the smallest room of the house into that one as it means double the space.

In my head this was a great idea, both children have said imagine inviting your friends.. come to my room, it's through the kitchen. Apparently the thought of this is embarrassing.

Id like to gather your own experiences and thoughts so I can either pass these on or use them for consideration myself.

Many thanks!

Ah well, we can't boot ours out so it hadn't occurred to me that some voluntarily choose to leave the house!😂 If we didn't have doors it would be very boring around my house!

If I was a teenager being offered that I'd think great!! Snacks, away from my little sibling who's constantly going between mine and her bedroom, and not far to go when dinners ready 😁 and also a much bigger bedroom which I've complained about since moving here!

Me too !

If you covert the dinning room into a bedroom, where are you going to eat your meals?

The kitchen is quite big and fits a dinning table with seating for around 6 people quite comfortably, we did this when we first moved in and the dinning room was the dumping ground while we unpacked. Dinning table is a fold up too with fold up chairs that go inside and fits under the breakfast bar if I ever needed the extra space.
