Ds1's room is about 3m squared. DS2's is slightly bigger, maybe 3m by 3.5, and the twins room is the same (although eventually boytwin will share with DS2 and girltwin will have this room to herself). The smallest room is absolutely fine as a bedroom size, enough room for a single bed, chest of drawers and a bookcase. There will be a built in robe in there soon too.
we live in a teeny place- DS shares with the computer/office - he's still in a cot so it works for now, but we're going to have to think about reshuffling when he's big enough for a bed!
My boys share a room. It is big enough for a double bunk and their drawers and a book shelf and a couple of square meters on the floor. Not very large but they don't spend much time in there.
My three boys share a room which has two toddler beds a cot and drawers in it. Now that I am having a fourth boy ds and the baby will share the spare room otherwise if it had of being a girl the three boys would have stayed in the same room with a bunk a one single bed
I don't know how much by feet/metres but my DD has a built in wardrobe that is three doors wide (sliding), a king single bed, chest of drawers, toy box and book case.
Our house is an odd 4 bedroom house where there are 2 small rooms and one really big one in the kids section. We're only have the 2 kids so they'll both be in the small rooms and the 4th large bedroom will be the playroom / theatre / study ~ whatever it evolves into as they get older. It will have their desks and stuff when they hit the homework age. But the tiny bedrooms are tiny, and have really big windows too so they lose lots of wall space for things like cupboards and bookshelves, they'll end up having to go up again the windows.
But we'll make it work! I'm never moving if I can help it, this house isn't my dream house but it's totally livable and I really hate moving!
Our nursery is roughly 3m x 4m, pretty well standard bedroom size. We've used it from day one Currently has cot, rocking chair, change table and chest of drawers (has a double built in wardrobe). Would easily fit a single bed instead of cot.
Our other two 'kids' rooms are much bigger, more like 4m x 4.5m - this is really quite huge, they have double built-ins as well. We're planing on 2 kids, so eventually the nursery room will be converted back to a spare/guest bedroom. But we built our house so the reason these rooms are big is that we deleted a small (not big enough to be functional) activity room.
Our house is quite large the boys room is approx 3x4 metres which is the smallest room in the house and the girls room is 5x4.5 I think trying to think back!
But in the girls room there's beds, a couch, 2 tallboys, a fireplace, a desk plus toyboxes lined up against one wall and still space
DD#1 used to be in a 5.3x4.3m room and that was just massive, we put a wall down the middle. It was too hard to heat, the ceilings were 4m too.
Current house all the bedrooms are 3.2x4.2m, the house we are building DD#1 gets a bedroom a little over 3x4m, and the other two get 3x3m rooms. In a few years we'll get a bigger house, small rooms are ok for little ones but tweenage and up they want their own space. We're putting a loft bed in Miss 10's room with a desk under it so her room doesn't seem so crowded, she has a bed, desk, tallboy, cupboard, keyboard and play table there now. The little one's room seems huge, she has a cot, dresser, wardrobe and a few toyboxes in there and that's it, so its all really low furniture and it looks funny with 3.6m ceilings.
