Help. Layout for tiny bedroom please.
My son sleeps in a tiny bedroom and I'm hoping someone will be able to help me with layout and storage options. He currently sleeps on a camp bed under the window which fits perfectly but hes getting too big for it and needs a full size single bed. He is also really struggling for storage space for clothes and other stuff that kids have. He has a chest of drawers along the right hand wall and also has a couple of hanging rails behind the door above the radiator. He is running out of hanging space as his tops and trousers are now too long for his hanging space. But just really not sure what is possible in such a tiny space. I have looked at mid sleeper options but they all come with such rubbish furniture and he doesnt need a desk. Please does anyone have any ideas on how to make this tiny space work?

Comments (3)Well, you can't do much about a window! Dressing table is good, as well as hooks, and/or shelves on the wll to the right of it. About all you can do for regular closet storage will be all along that (newly) straight wall to the left of the window, because everything else is constrained by the needs of the pass-through. You might be able to run a shelf along above the two doorways, for a little extra, but it could end up feeling a lot like a tunnel for the entrance to a master bedroom. I'd suggest making at least half of ht ehanging space be double-rod (half-height) for more capacity, and make sure that part of the dressing table has some drawers. That's about all there is! :)...See MoreBedroom Storage
Comments (16)sorry haven't been on here much and havent had time or money to much about my room but should be getting to work in the next few weeks/month. I've added some more photos to give a better idea of the layout of the room and the dimensions. the first one is a view from the bed or the foot of the bed, so you can see the wall space isn't massive. The horrible curtains are waiting to be changed when I get all the work done! The second photo is the other wall to show where the door to the room is. Carolyn the wardrobe in the photo there is the one I'm going to put in the nook and then I was thinking of getting a carpenter to build shelving on the wall where the wardrobe currently is. Around the bed then would be more storage and shelves either side to act as bedside tables. As anyone any ideas for the type of shelving I should be looking to get built? I would be looking to hold - clothes that wouldn't be hanging like jumpers, t-shirts etc. I would definitely need an area for books/magazines, an area for toiletries and maybe then storage for items such as bed linen, blankets and random items like chargers for phones, laptops etc....See MoreDownstairs extension layout
Comments (4)I like the idea with the pink highlighted edge. This opens u the kitchen dining space but keeps the lounge and study separate as you wanted. I would add bifold doors if possible along the back wall of the dining room to make it feel even bigger. Hope this helps...See MoreNew house kitchen layout
Comments (12)I see what you mean, It's a good idea in theory, however, practically, I don't think it's going to work, and you will end up ruining the nicest room in the house. There are no walls that remain unbroken by doors or windows, so where are you going to put units and unbroken worktop space. They can't go on the left as there are three doors. There's a door on the right, which although you could put a unit and a bit of worktop back right, it wouldn't be very big, and the biggest run of wall goes straight down to the glass doors, so you probably can't and wouldn't want to go straight up to them. You could move the door into the hallway from the front end to the bottom end by the patio doors and this would give you a better run of wall. If you put an island in the middle, 5' into the room to give yourself room to walk in and gain more worktop, it'll only leave you with around 6' at the other end for a dining space. However, i'd still advise getting a kitchen planner onboard before you start, as i'm not convinced the room is big enough to achieve what you want with the available wall space, and it stands a good chance of spoiling a very nice and elegant entrance to a house. The other big problem is the plumbing, there isn't any currently in that room, so you'll need to dig up the floor for drainage and almost definately that of either the utility or one of the bathrooms! I vote for keeping the house exactly as it is!...See More

3 years agoAm I looking at that correctly? The door is slap bang in the middle of the wall?? That's a pain for a bed behind the door in that case isn't it?
I've always thought captains beds can be oppressive and make spaces seem smaller. But this one from IKEA seems a bit lighter because of the fully open area underneath (perhaps with a chest of drawers and a hanging rail under there?) If you go for this you'd possibly have to have a blind and live with the fact that the bed will encroach across the window
There are also plenty of midsleepers with built in storage or just regular single beds with drawers and hydraulic lifting systems for access under the whole bed.
My nephew (age 13) has a relatively spacious bedroom but nothing is hung up except his uniform on a peg rail behind the door. Everything else is folded on shelving and in drawers and his coats and jackets are downstairs.
Finally, some photos of the room would def help get some more creative ideas and responses from other Houzzers. You can attach them in a comment on your own post. Good luck.

3 years agoHi here are the photos. You can see the chest of drawers under the bed. Your room is slightly shorter so you may only get a smaller bookcase in but you have the benefit of your door being at the far end whereas as you see ours opens right onto the bed. We hang duvet covers from the bed to make a secret den beneath!

3 years agolast modified: 3 years agoHi, another Ikea bed, only thing is that you'll have to check how practical it is with the drawers, since there's not a lot of space to pull them out entirely, but https://www.ikea.com/gb/en/p/slaekt-bed-frame-w-storage-slatted-bedbase-white-s29291956/
Used the dimensions of that bed and of a double Pax wardrobe (100 x 60 cm), put the wardrobe at the end of the bed, so you'll see the doors of it when you walk into the room.
Did something fun with paint, created a niche, you could even let the dark blue run along the ceiling too in the same width. Anyway... perhaps this is an option:
Don't know which way the door turns? If the door turns the other way (as I mistakingly put in the above ones), you'd have to put bed and wardrobe on the other wall if possible with the radiator.
