Hello,
I am currently planning the furniture, electrical outlets, and light switches on our floor plan. My wife thinks we should already plan for larger beds (1.60 m (5 feet 3 inches) wide) or even set up with those right away (children: one is 3 years old; another one planned).
What do you think about this? Does it make sense to plan for a large youth/adult bed for children? For me, a bigger bed leads to more complicated room layouts, and it also takes away valuable floor space for playing, which is especially important for young children.
The rooms are each 3.80 m by 4 m (12.5 feet by 13 feet), about 15 square meters (160 square feet).
A 1.6 m by 2 m (5 feet 3 inches by 6 feet 7 inches) bed takes up 3.2 square meters (34 square feet). A 0.9 m by 2 m (3 feet by 6 feet 7 inches) bed takes up 1.8 square meters (19 square feet). That’s almost a 1.5 square meter (16 square feet) difference...

I survived!!!
And in a 90 cm (35 inch) bed. I’m really tough...
No, it’s definitely great if the room offers the possibility to have a larger bed, but I don’t think any teenager will die if the 90 cm (35 inch) bed stays. Having enough power outlets is, in my opinion, much more important.
As a teenager, you get to have some say in furnishing your own room. Then the kid can decide whether a bigger bed or a large desk with gaming equipment is more important. If both don’t fit in the room, you just have to choose what matters more. That’s a step towards growing up and won’t do anyone any harm.
