Charlie and Lucy's Room: A Space Designed For Growing Twins

As Charlie and Lucy entered their pre-teen years, their shared bedroom was no longer meeting their needs. They needed more storage space, designated study areas, and a layout that gave them a sense of separation while still allowing them to share a bedroom. To create a space that worked for them long-term, their mom decided to swap rooms, giving the girls the larger master bedroom and the opportunity for furniture custom designed for their space.

Finished in white oak with white painted accents and styled with purple decor.The girls’ new bedroom is quite large so Lucy and Charlie were delighted to hear that they could both have full size Dumbo loft beds. And with ceilings reaching almost 12 feet high, we decided to customize the loft beds by raising them an extra foot, bringing them to a total height of 84 inches. This customization allows for 66 inches of clearance underneath the loft bed, making it easier for the girls to stand comfortably underneath them while also increasing the storage capacity of the loft cabinets.

Flanking the bench, Modulor storage units provide a mix of open shelving for books and toys and enclosed cabinets to keep everyday essentials neatly tucked away. Above the bench, an open shelving unit offers additional display storage, keeping the area organized while maintaining an open and airy feel.

Each desk features two pencil drawers below the desktop, filing cabinet style storage drawers, and open shelving to keep their books and other items neatly organized. Above the desktop, a corkboard panel adds a practical touch for pinning notes, photos, or reminders. Across from the desk cabinets, we designed storage cabinets that feature adjustable open storage cubbies and 6 dresser drawers, offering ample space for clothing and other belongings. Adding to both the safety and storage capacity of the beds, our five step staircase features deep drawers below each step and is equipped with our stair rail panel for added security.
