Still trying to work through the dimensions for Anya’s new bed<\/a>.\u00a0A twin bed is like 38\u201dx75\u201d \u2013 thinking 80\u201d long with the headboard\/footboard. Along the 15.5\u2019 wall, that leaves like 8\u2019 for the stairs, open floor space, fish tank, and door swing. Even if we needed to go a little<\/em> longer to get the headboard\/footboard, it should fit.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s the other dimension that worries me. With a 38\u201d bed & another ~3 feet for the desk area, that\u2019s just over 6\u2019 wide \u2026 which gives a 3\u2019 walkway between the bed\/desk and hearth. But I worry that 3\u2019 for the desk and<\/em> chair area is going to be cramped \u2013 kids desk chairs are about 2\u2019 square, and a 12\u201d desk seems really<\/em> small. Although L shaped desks end up having a lot<\/em> of space, and having that second layer for more storage \u2026 maybe a 12\u201d desk isn\u2019t bad. I\u2019d make the shorter part of the \u2018L\u2019 wider for paperwork and books. But a laptop computer will fit fine on a 12\u201d desk.<\/p>\n

The other question is height. I thought about doing the under-bed area as a potential walk-in closet \u2026 but the ceiling is only like 8\u2019 high. And you don\u2019t want to hit your head getting into bed every night. So that\u2019s pretty much out. Doing the desk at 42\u201d high and the bed platform at 48\u201d \u2013 gives a little 5\u201d platform for the mattress, plus the mattress height. But a 4\u2019 hideaway might seem cramped. I\u2019d rather a 5\u2019 hideaway (desk at like 55\u201d) \u2026 but that leaves 3\u2019 from the mattress platform to the ceiling. Mattress itself has depth too. Now I was going to do the mattress platform the same width as the mattress so you\u2019d sit up & swing your legs over to the desk platform to stand up. Which gives you 3\u20195\u201d and that seems uncomfortable. A 42\u201d platform means there\u2019s 4.5\u2019 to the ceiling. Wondering about a desk platform that is 3\u2019 and pretty much close to square on the vertical wall \u2013 with the two tiers, the desk itself is 4\u2019 & there\u2019s a foot between that top desk level and the ceiling. Then 4\u2019 for the hideaway, which gives 4\u2019 for bed\/sitting and 5\u2019 to stand up next to the bed. No good for a teenager, but we\u2019re designing a kid\u2019s<\/em> bed\/desk \u2026 I\u2019m sure she\u2019ll want something else when she\u2019s older.<\/p>\n

I think we\u2019re going to try laying it out in cardboard this weekend to make sure the footprint is reasonable & the platform heights aren\u2019t head-bonking.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
