My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Need help

13 years ago
My sister in law has three children all having to share the same room. 3 year old twin boys and 7 year old girl. There bedroom is much smaller than the picture. What would be some good ideas to create the right space for all of them and still be safe for the 3 year olds?

    Built in bunk beds can be a great space saver and can provide some nice character. Stacking beds is probably your best option.

    We had a very small bedroom with two girls in it. We didn't have the ceiling height for bunk beds but did have room for a trundle. This is the one we used:

    I imagine bunk beds with a trundle might work for her if she has the vertical space. Or perhaps a double bunk with a single on top? Also instead of a trundle she could try a murphy bed, although they can be expensive. If anyone in the family is handy you can buy murphy bed kits online and build one as well.
