Twin beds are often the go-to choice for kids’ rooms, but by no means are they the only alternative. In my own house, my 10-year-old and four-year-old girls share a queen mattress and would not have it any other way. They adore whispering to each other while falling asleep and creating the mattress together.
Whether you decide to buy a larger bed for two children to share or for you to grow into, a larger bed can bring big style to your children’s room. It could even double as a guest mattress when family comes to town.
Making a room over a massive bed for childhood keepsakes, trinkets and books will make the room feel more comfy and childlike.
If you are worried about a major bed taking up too much room, consider painting the wall behind the bed a nice dark color. This will provide the illusion of depth and make the room look larger.
Another great trick to bring the illusion of distance is to use a lot of mirrors. I really like the brightness the two mirrors flanking the space is brought to by this massive bed.

In case you’ve got the square footage, lining the walls with multiple queen-size beds is a great way to sleep a bunch. This room is ideal for slumber parties and late-night pillow fights.

This distance appears like it was only transformed into a more mature design. The map retains it playful, but you’ll be delighted to hang on to the furniture long after your child has left for college.
