ᐅ Dividing Bedrooms: Efficient Planning of a Children's Room and a New Bedroom with a Hallway

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.

Thanks @ypg. That wouldn’t be bad either, with the “slanted doors.” I just wonder if that corner looks good in the line of sight from the hallway. I’ll have to create it with a planner.

This is the floor plan of the level – however, I don’t see how this is relevant or needed for my question @kbt09 …
Exactly for that reason: in the first post there was a bathroom door, but the entire floor plan shows access to the bathroom from a different location.
I addressed the problem, but you obviously didn’t.
Besides, now you can see additional dimensions.

The sightline from the hallway doesn’t matter if it allows you to create space for wardrobes in the rooms.

This would be the most space-saving option

Two-room floor plan: room 1 empty on the left, room 2 with bed on the right.

And number 2, my "idea," without "any 3-dimensional pattern drawings without a detailed floor plan." These should only help answer the question "Where should the furniture go?" Bed 2 x 2 meters (6.5 x 6.5 feet), the rest will be newly purchased and custom-made by a carpenter. The idea: A closet in the hallway would, for example, hold towels and bed linen, accessible to all family members.

Do you manage to place furniture in the rooms with this version?

Personally, I wouldn’t plan any slanted doors either; that’s really no longer modern.
I would arrange the door to the bedroom in a way that a wardrobe fits right behind it. Or possibly make the wall between the rooms “S-shaped” so that offset niches for wardrobes are created in each room.
Friends of mine use built-in wardrobes instead of a wall to separate rooms. It works well for them, although you might need to consider soundproofing again.
