Need help with an 8 year old's tiny bedroom!
Comments (10)Sorry, I've done this on a basic app in a bit of a hurry, but I hope you get it. Basically, I've imagined something like in the photos below, but with Ikea cabinets instead of bespoke built-ins. Single bed size is 91x190cm, you have just enough space for 2 Billy bookcases at both ends. http://www.ikea.com/gb/en/catalog/products/60265281/#/00263850 I thought you could suspend a unit along the side of the bed - it's up to you if you have it or not - if not, make it look like the 3rd or 4th pic. http://www.ikea.com/gb/en/catalog/products/S09017826/ I've placed the wardrobe in front of the door - not the best, but.... http://www.ikea.com/gb/en/catalog/products/S39006609/ Not sure where radiator and window are, but hopefully I'm not too far off - a cover would look nice and give more storage space. Desk - tricky, but it can go either as a wide shelf on that wall, or like in the second pic, or a unit instead of the radiator cover at the end of the wardrobe... http://www.ikea.com/gb/en/catalog/products/S29035891/ Hope this helps, good luck!...See MoreHelp with a TINY loft bedroom
Comments (4)Hi. You would need to be very supple for this (!) but you could bring the bed forward and add a clothes rail behind. Use a curtain to disguise most of the storage. Layer the bed with cushions and throws so it becomes the focal point. Agree with headers re storage bed, look for one that front opens or has front drawers and store items in there that you don't need frequently. I'd use the cupboard for bags and shoes so as to try and keep the rest of the room as clutter free as possible. Can you paint the room? A cooler colour may make it feel very marginally bigger as the cream/beige looks a little warm. I'd keep the chest of drawers in the same as the ŵall colour so they blend in and add colour for cushions etc. Mirrors will make a room feel bigger but im not sure where they would fix. Perhaps go for a wider cabinet to the left of the door and add a free standing mirror on top? Or alternatively look at mirrored caninet/s...See MoreA Tiny Childs bedroom and a growing child, with no storage. Help!
Comments (15)Hi - I agree with some of the others that you should add a wardrobe (preferably fitted) where the white unit currently is. Ideally you want somewhere for clothes but drawers underneath and probably some overhead storage as well I'd say. You say your son is a real book worm and I noticed a lot of books at the end of his bed - could you put shelves up there where the clock and cool sign is? Either regular shelves or ikea picture ledges look nice with books - that's what we used as per attached photo. Also could you get something like a long ikea Kallax (4x1) to fit under the bed? It might be too high but you can get ones from Argos that are smaller I think and with the baskets that fit in each hole they would be perfect for Lego? I think it's a really lovely room and with a bit of sorting could look great and work well for your son...See MoreHow to transform this tiny bedroom?
Comments (10)I also had a play at some layout options. What MATH suggested is exactly what I was thinking and what we have in our own bedroom which is very similar. So on the plans I’ve used a standard uk double size for the bed 135x195cm. Wardrobes are roughly 60cm in depth. The bed facing the window doesn’t work imo because there’ll be no room to walk round the other side. Personally I like the wardrobes fitted on the back wall which gives you room for a chest of drawers in the larger alcove and a large floor standing mirror or art work could go on the chimney breast wall. These are all rough estimates of the size of the room so definitely measure first if you plan to buy any new furniture....See MoreLaura Thomas
