How to arrange a small room for two children?

A small room for two children requires a plan in which each meter has a specific function. The most important decisions concern the bed, storage and study space. If these three zones are well distributed, the room does not have to be large to be comfortable for everyday use.

The most common solution is Nizio bunk bed, because it transfers two sleeping places onto one floor surface. This leaves room for a chest of drawers, a shelf, a desk or a free space to play.
