When we thought about all the functions that would be helpful to have in our son’s bedroom, which can definitely be described as “cozy” when it comes to the size (real talk: this room is small), he needed:
- a bed to sleep in
- clothing storage
- book and toy storage out in the open
- some concealed storage for papers and other toys/games
- added bonus: a hangout-y lounge spot for reading or playing with his sister or a friend who comes over
- he also requested his own desk for drawing/homework/playing with magnets (yes, we have a current magnet obsession going strong right now)
light | striped wall tutorial | closet baskets | toy baskets | brass shelf | piggy banks | quilt
We definitely could have pulled the “your room is really small for a desk, not sure we can do that” card – but we thought it was worth a try thanks to the idea of customizing a built-in desk right next to the bed that could double as a nightstand.
