  2. Use a trundle bed for sleepovers.
  3. Keep the centre of the floor clear for play.

Storage

  1. Add under-bed drawers.
  2. Hang a pegboard with baskets and shelves.
  3. Use the back of the door for organisers.
  4. Pick a storage bench for toys.

Look and feel

  1. Paint walls a light colour to open up the room.
  2. Fit a slim wall-mounted desk.
