Hello everyone...
So, in mid-April, a new housemate will be moving in with us. It wasn’t planned, but we’re really excited nonetheless!
At the moment, Child 1 has the bedroom, which is by far the warmest room in the house due to its southeast-facing position. The laundry and guest room is currently the bedroom, and Child 2’s room is used as an office.
On the floor plan, the bottom is north.
I’m now considering turning the Child 1 room into a combined office, laundry, and guest room; making the current bedroom the main bedroom; and converting Child 2’s room into the children’s bedroom. The little one probably won’t play upstairs very often at first... 😉
How would you approach this? Any ideas? Suggestions? Feedback?

Congratulations!
Personally, I would also choose the large room for the parents and use the smaller rooms as children’s bedrooms.
We have two boys, who initially shared our bedroom/family bed. For us, that worked best. However, every family needs to decide what suits them best.

Congratulations from me as well ❤️ 🙂
I would also keep the current bedroom (child 1) as the bedroom and use the other two as children’s rooms. If you are sleeping like this now, would child 2 be in the northwest? I think that’s almost ideal.
Since you already live there, as a parent I wouldn’t miss the chance to start wallpapering, furnishing, and decorating the room at the beginning of next year.
That definitely belongs to it, and you will need space for a changing table, clothing, and gifts anyway.
Have fun with it! 🙂

Sleep in advance again! Go out one more time! It will get harder soon ;-)
Thank you again for the congratulations and the responses.
Since Child 1’s room (now a bedroom) is always so warm, we actually want to move out of there. So yesterday we took some measurements. Our bed definitely doesn’t fit in Child 2’s room...
...as I described in my first post, we will turn Child 1’s room into a combined laundry-guest-office space, make Child 2’s room the children’s bedroom, and move ourselves into the bedroom. It’s up to 5°C (9°F) cooler there...

Maybe it’s related to how the rooms are used: If a room is occupied continuously, the occupants’ body heat also warms it up (I also find our bedroom too warm in the mornings). With more occasional use, the warming is less. But a 5-degree temperature difference? Are you living in a new or an older building? Have you checked for thermal bridges?
