Our former bedroom is going to be divided. However, we are uncertain about the best approach. The children’s room (with access to the balcony) will be on the left, and a bedroom on the right. Both rooms should be accessed independently, without one being a walk-through room. We will probably need to create a hallway to provide two new doors/entries. We would like to make the children’s room as large as possible. We were thinking the bedroom could be about 2.70 meters (8 feet 10 inches) wide to fit the bed—is that reasonable? Would it make sense to make the new hallway slightly larger to accommodate a closet (e.g., 100 cm (39 inches)) there as well? What would be a good and modern layout; what are your ideas? The room has a ceiling height of over 3 meters (10 feet).
Thank you very much for your help.

Well, isn’t something missing from the original floor plan to make adjustments to the hallway?

Maybe you should try sketching your idea instead of just describing it, so it’s easier to see how you envision placing the bed, closet, and access.

This is the original floor plan, showing where the new hallway is planned to be created (dashed line as a concept on the floor plan) along with the rooms, as illustrated in the pictures. However, there might be better ideas!

If the floor plan in post 1 is supposed to be sufficient, then go ahead and sketch your idea.

... and please don’t post random 3D renderings without a dimensioned floor plan as a demonstration of whatever. Sometimes all you can do is shake your head. 🙄

Is it practical to fit the bed in there?

What are the bed dimensions?

No, because

… everything you add to the hallway reduces the size of the rooms. And what purpose would the additional closet serve?

What about the bathroom? Should the door be bricked up? Or is it meant to be the child’s private bathroom?
If all family members are going to use this bathroom, you should share the whole floor plan.

Otherwise, I assume this door is not important and would separate the rooms like this:

This is the floor plan of the level – however, I don’t understand how this relates to or is needed for my question @kbt09 ...

And number 2, my "idea," without any "3-dimensional pattern pictures without a dimensioned floor plan." These should only help answer the question "Where should which furniture be placed." Bed 2 x 2 meters (6.6 x 6.6 feet), the rest will be newly purchased and custom-made by a carpenter. The idea: A wardrobe in the hallway would, for example, store towels and bed linen, accessible to all family members.
