Why this room works.

Homework comes first in this 12 by 11 foot kids room, and the bed waits its turn. The horizontal twin folds down over a natural oak desk that stays level, so the desk is a real homework surface by day and the bed is a real 38 by 75 inch twin by night, all inside a 129 inch wide wall of shiplap white Shaker style cabinetry.

The wall runs 129 inches wide with a bookcase on each side of the bed and a low bridge cabinet above it, and the whole bed cabinet stands 63 inches high, so the room keeps its daylight and its 8 foot ceiling feels untouched. The dashed outline on the floor plan reaches 45 inches from the back wall and leaves roughly 87 inches at the foot of the bed, and the Horizontal Twin hardware kit runs about $189, which makes this the friendliest first build in the gallery for a kids room that has to work twice as hard.
