That looks awesome but I wonder how long it would take for the oldest kid to crack the shits with sharing a room with younger siblings!
Especially when they start bringin home partners, or comin in pissed at 3:00 in the mornin!!!!!
Yeah, good design for kids younger than say 14 or so. bad design as soon as you start getting teenagers. And since that looked like a massive room, you’d probably be better off splitting it into 2 and sharing with only 1 person.
Yeah great idea but def looks like you have the space to not need to cram 4 into a room!
I have this pinned on pinterest - great idea for a holiday home I think, where kids or cousins would love to share a room for a week. this looks cozy.
Actually this person has heaps of bunk rooms designs

It’s awesome design, and anyone who could afford to build this in a room that size can afford to remodel when the time comes.
Besides, I’d assume it’s part of an upmarket holiday house.
I want this if i ever have a 2 story house!
^ Such a shame to spoil good ideas/design with tacky colours and carpet.

Mr.h0z and I shared a room with his 2 younger brothers (and a single bed for that matter..) with no doors, just a hallway and stairs at the end of the room.. (was the upstairs kitchen, converted into a bedroom when they had more kids..) his sister got her own room being the only girl, and I took to getting changed in the bathroom haha… then after 2 years his parents sold and brought a 6bedroom house! Now we have a walk in wardrobe and an ensuite.. win!
Yeah, my Mum has a 5 bedroom house and will now have 3 people in it when my brother moves out this year…
One is my cousin who moved down from QLD lol. If they were coping (and with kids your age) I would have delt lol
holiday house for sure!
have thought a bit recently about how it has totally become the norm for each child to have their own room, whereas most people my age (30) and up shared a room at least at some point.
I think kids miss out by not getting to share a room!
I shared a room when I was very young (until about 3yo). Then again when I was 11yo, while we built a house, with my sister (2years younger), and enjoyed it very much. At 16yo the apartment we lived in was so small I slept in the garage downstairs (an apartment garage).
The law will support requests for a child to have it’s own room. Which I don’t 100% agree with but do see the benefit of children needing their own space to grow as individuals.
My sister and I now have our own kids. At their grandparents (our mum), all 3 kids have their own room (9yo, 6yo, 2.5yo) as well as sister having her own room and me having another room/granny-flat. Apart from mum&stepdad; only I live there full time.
PinkPrincess even has her own room at her other grandparents and in total has 3 bedrooms to herself!
Her cousins have two rooms each (I don’t know if they have their own room at other G’parents - but they might, it’s also a big house but they don’t stay with them as often).
As a kid, at both sets of grandparents, there were rooms that were referred to as our rooms (by name) but as I grew found out other people stayed in my room and my sisters when they visited.
This doesn’t happen with our kids. As well as their rooms there is also a guest wing to the house.
The second TV room (my Foxtel viewing area) is shared as the toy room.
Man this post sounds like I’m a pompous richey-rich type. Maybe I am?
Really cords?
I never shared a room and I don’t remember any of my friends sharing (i remember one particular friend swapping bedrooms with her brother at least twice a year and always wanted to do that myself!)
And we were a very average middle class family.
And i know several people who have kids sharing a room today (wanting to stay in inner west sydney and have no space.can’t afford bigger)
