Layout ideas for 12yr old bedroom. Odd shape
I’m starting from scratch for my daughter But struggling with the best layout. the Room is quite long and narrow in places and has a sloping ceiling at each end. All I’ve kept is the bed itself and will now look to buy a small desk, chest of drawers. I’ve got rid of the enormous wardrobe and am thinking of just fitting a rail in the narrow part of the room. I want to get as much as possible,e off the floor to make the room feel bigger and free up some floor space for sleepovers!
any ideas?

help needed for odd shape kitchen layout
Comments (7)If you're building from new, have you thought about a jack and Jill bathroom in the middle of the bedrooms? Would also extend bed 1 in line with 2 (or use that space for cupboards) and move the door for bed 2 (if needed depending on bigger bedroom or cupboards). Move the boiler room to the utility. For the kitchen have a single ŵall of units on the LHS extended where the boiler was and then a Long Island which will be perfect for entertaining. I'd also close off the main living area with doors through to the rest of the space. Just a thought anyway, good luck with your plans!...See MoreOdd shaped utility / boot room
Comments (26)During the lockdown weve finally been making some progress on the utility room. Weve reused some of the old cupboards and picked up some free carcasses off gumtree. Everything has either been free, second hand or off the bargain shelf!!! Still not finished as we are waiting on a replacement door coming as it came the wrong size, and we still need to do some electrics for under unit lights and plumbing for the radiator and skirtings. But so far we are super chuffed with the change. And So much more space. We took the wall down in May last year so it hasnt been short project. Just a rainy day fill in project as I've collected my cheap bits and bobs to make it happen....See MoreShared Twin Boys Bedroom Layout, Storage and Feature wall Ideas!
Comments (12)The first option seems to work better when you add furniture in? Given they'll be starting secondary school soon'ish I don't know whether a wardrobe and chest of drawers is a better option for their uniform? You can also use the bottom of the wardrobe for shoes, sports equipment etc and I'd pick a colour that blends into the wall. I personally wouldn't do 2 feature walls however use colour blocking to zone each of their spaces. Try and find a blue and yellow that work together and add a couple more complementary shades. I've added a couple of pics but there are loads online. You could do a geometric shape or border etc. Having their duvet in their colours may be an idea too. I would probably go for beanbags for seating which can go at the side of the bed when not in use. Is their room under the bed for baskets for toys? Maybe also shelves over the bedside table?...See MoreCan anyone help with the layout of my bedroom? Alcove issues
Comments (4)Have you tried turning your bed 90 degrees and placing under the sloping ceiling? Also, change your door hinges so the door opens towards the wall. I know this will block the light switch but it's a small price to pay to get more floor space that the door swing is currently eating up!...See More- PRO

I'd move the bed to the bottom and have a trundle for sleepovers. You can buy narrow desks / dressing tables and have it opposite the window at the foot of the bed.
This set up would give you a lot more free space.
Bed and Trundle from the White Company _plus the ( Trundle addition ) Bed is 207 long leaving 820mm for dressing table

5 years agoHi, I think if you could still manage to keep clothing in that space and perhaps could use a nice curtain/fabric to hide the clothes etc. Also I do think if the bed was put along the width of the room with desk at side (see pic attached) that you would have more useful floor space.

5 years agoI would also put the "wardrobe" there. You can still use the rail and at that height it should be long enough for most clothes but either close it off with a door or a curtain (the curtain will make it feel more spacious if she's does happen to be tidy so can keep it part open! I would also put the bed along the length of the 244 wall. I'd go for a daybed with trundle so she has seating for friends, this one is quite good as you can still see a bit of the floor beneath. desk under window with chest of drawers on opposite wall with a mirror over the top. If you want the room to feel bigger, don't choose furniture which has a lot of contrast to the walls. A ghost chair may be good for the desk

5 years agoThank you for these ideas. I now need to think about a ‘design’ for the wardrobe section. To decide whether to use the whole of that alcove in depth with shelves/drawers along the sides and a rail for clothes in the middle?
She has at least now emptied the room so I can start to move the existing bed and desk around to try out configurations.
I will probably get rid of this desk and the bookshelf is going in the hallway
