Feel you're letting the kids down because their room is on the compact side? Forget the guilt. Many children prefer the secure feel of a small space, and it gives you the opportunity to think creatively.
Start by establishing how big the window is, where it falls in the wall (and what storage you can get under or around it), the space the door needs to open properly and how deep furniture can be so your child won’t feel hemmed in. The Key West Cabin Bed, from Espace, creates a perfect den under the bed. The old way is to lay down pieces of newspaper the same size ‘footprint’ as the furniture you’re considering; our brilliant 3D Room Planner is the modern version.
