Small house...2 children

[DontMakeMeAdult]

Morning!
Both my partner and I have a son each aged 7/8 and were discussing the possibility of them moving into my house. One particular reason for this is being able to save quite a bit of money for a house deposit (my house costs less over all with rent bills etc)

The only problem we've come up against is that it's only 2bedrooms. We have his son every other weekend and 1 night in the week, my son mainly goes to his dad's at the weekends but this is quite flexible so sometimes stays at mine if we've got something planned.
How could we work this with bedrooms - I was thinking of getting a sofa bed so his son could use our room while he's here (to give him some space) and we could stay on the sofa bed. Does this sound ridiculous? How do other people work this?
Sorry for the essay!
Thanks in advance

Bunk beds maybe? Boys that age usually love them.

Bunk beds.
My sister has a 2 bed house with two of her own and 2 step kids
They have trukle beds under the bunk beds and for 3 nights a week there's no floor space but needs must

Thanks for the replies
I was trying to be quite conscious of them each having some space if they wanted to be alone but I think I'm going to struggle with that aren't I
I don't think my son would have a problem with bunk beds but someone I know mentioned that moving my partners son into his room might be "invading his territory" on the other hand I don't want my partners son to feel like a spare part.
I'm over thinking this aren't i?

**sorry for the repetitive "aren't I"

I suppose it depends on how well the boys get on. Your son will probably like sharing bunk beds with a boy he likes, but if they are struggling to get on at the minute a sofa bed is probably the better idea

Oh my son seems to enjoy having someone to stay and play with. I suppose we could go for the bunkbed option and then if anything changes go down the sofa bed route

I totally disagree with parents moving out of their bedrooms for children, you have two bedrooms therefore the two children can share, something even if they're not that happy about frankly they'll just have to put up with

Could you give the boys the bigger room and use one of those giant ikea expedit things to do a makeshift partition?

We wouldn't be able to fit a double bed into my sons bedroom to swap so I think we'll have to stick to the bunkbed idea and see how that goes
Thanks for the replies

My DS shares with DSS, and we moved into DH's house, so DS was "invading" DSS's bedroom. DSS, the younger of them, was initially quite excited about the idea. We let the two of them decide what color to redecorate the room, and how to arrange the furniture. DSS has a high sleeper with a desk underneath it. They each have their own "half" of the room where they can put things on the wall. Like you, we have a bit of a timeshare arrangement so they're only both there alternate weekends. I always check they leave it reasonably clear before they had off to their other house.

Overall it's worked OK. DS is now 15 and looking forward to DSD (17) leaving home so he can have her room, but i they've both been largely OK about it. I think if you handle it well, having both boys share would probably be your best option.

Definitely bunk beds, DSD and DD share their room and it's tiny!! We can just about fit DSDs bed, DDs cot and a chest of drawers in there, it's a really awkward L shape too. When DD gets bigger we will definitely have bunk beds! There will be so much space.
