PROJECT 2008 :room one


BEFORE

The room size is only 9’ x 13’ , for 3 boys age 5, 7 and 8. To fit them all (bed, wardrobe, study, toys) is quite impossible. Sometimes we think a double decker is the best solution for a small room. Actually one queen bed is a much better solution for younger kids sleeping arrangement. A storage cabinet hides all the toy boxes (of course you need to purge the toys quantity).Give them one or two boxes each depends on the space you have, and purge regularly so the boxes don't overflow. Also provide an easy maintenance rug (in this case I got them a colorful n matching the room color scheme bamboo rug) for the boys to sit on /play when friends come over or even do homework (cutting papers, pasting, coloring… u knowlah budak tadika n sekolah rendah punya homework). Soft blue /pastel wall paint more appropriate for active boys bedroom color ..to keep them more relaxed whenever in bedroom (they can be lasak on the playground but not in the bedroom, yes?) I’m happy with the result and the boys are happy too with their “new” room…:)

Do you have a suggestion for a room (10'x 10')that needs to fit 2 girls?

waaa...so small one the room...u can change the door to sliding /folding then you'll get more space inside...if the girls can tidy up their room themselves (btw, how old?) you can use sthing like IKEA LOVAS or LYCKSELE two-seatsofa-bed (tiap pagi kena lipat, rajin x?)
)...or see page 196-197 of IKEA 2009 catalog online for ODDA series or MORRUM...
or
you custom made bed within cabinet...nak tido baru tarik keluar...then you'll get more floor space..:))
