My DD who is 14 nearly 15 needs her room re-decorating, bed she loved was too big by about 3 cm and there are no ways for it to fit. Her bedroom is already cramped and we can only buy storage beds to fit all her stuff in. My 3 DS's have much larger rooms, but two share and the other is 17. Every bed she has found she really likes and then we measure and realise it will be too big Sad . Room where bed can fit is only 206cm, any suggestions for nice storage beds? Thanks

Could someone build her a captains bed with storage underneath.Build in mdf and paint whatever colour she likes.Infact she could design it.

www.bedzrus.co.uk gives lots of clear info about each bed, including length, width etc. I've been looking for a while as DD needs one that is 200cm or less...

Any good?

The wardrobe can face inwards too

Thanks for all your help, but we have recently bought her a brand new and expensive Confused wadrobe and desk set, hmmm might switch them into her brothers room? DD showed me the verona bed but it is unfortunately too wide.

Settled on a bed at a cheaper price 206 cm exactly :O Nightlark you might want to check out the IKEA Brimnes bed, getting that for DD and planning on decorating her room with little lights.

Never heard of the company before, but tight space? or is that not enough storage?

John Lewis have lots in that style, but again maybe not enough storage?

How high is the ceiling? Could she have a normal loft bed and get a cheap chest of drawers to go underneath?
