Hello everyone, attached is a photo of our child’s bedroom. It measures about 4 × 4.2 m (13 × 14 ft) and has a very steep sloped ceiling! The ceiling height reaches up to 3.50 m (11.5 ft).
There is also a terrible, uninviting window (due to the construction, curtains are not an option?!) with an annoying radiator next to it.
I find it very difficult to furnish the room in a child-friendly way. Our daughter is reluctant to sleep under the sloped ceiling.
Therefore, the bed must be placed against the tall wall. Ideally, it should be 1.20 m (4 ft) wide.
I had thought about a Murphy bed before, but those are quite expensive compared to other options?!
A loft bed probably won’t work either, because it would have to be mounted above the door, preferably floating, but then there would only be 1.50 m (5 ft) clearance up to the highest point?!
A wardrobe would also need to fit along the tall wall next to the bed.
The radiator really bothers me because the bed obviously can’t be placed there.
Is there a reasonable alternative to the radiator? Maybe a very low, wide radiator installed in the corner of the slope (knee wall)?
Could it simply be relocated? Or would the cost-benefit ratio be unreasonable?
Maybe I’m complaining about first-world problems, but I just lack the imagination. I’ve been struggling with this room for four years.
That’s why I’m hoping for your help and ideas!!!
Or should/could I consider hiring an interior designer for this?!?
Best regards and a great 2020 to you all!

I have left out the windows since I don’t know their height.
In the section, the 100 cm (39 inches) height is visible.
Section: the large triangle. 4 squares = 1 meter (39 inches) = 100 cm (39 inches).
The bed is drawn with a length of 200 cm (79 inches).
Approximately 1 meter (39 inches) height results if you subtract about 1.50 meters (59 inches) from the floor.
