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.

room layout help

7 years ago
Looking for floor plan ideas for this room. It is in our cottage and I’d like to use it as a kids room. My first thought was 2 sets of bunk beds, but with all the windows I’m finding that challenging. Thanks in advance

    How would you feel about trundle day beds? These are the types that look like sofas but have a twin-sized mattress as the seat. Then, underneat the sofa, is an additional twin mattress that can be pulled out to sleep another guest. They store neatly and are a LOT of fun for kids! Plus, when the kids aren't around, you can use that room as a media/TV lounge, office, or some other space.
