And please no hate! The parents are trying their best and they went so far as to sleep on the couch to let the baby have his own room, but it's better to keep the living room free so they can live their lives and have the bedroom just for sleeping ❤
Alternatively if they have issues fitting a bed into the alcove/is still very tight. Maybe disassemble the 4poster bed for the time being and store it and get a smaller bed for now. Depending on the bed they get the 4 poster the frame may be able to be stored under part and still have some under bed storage. That way kid bed might fit better. And when they can move eventually the newer bed could go to the kid and then the parents could go back to using the 4 poster bed after reassembling it. Little more costly in the short term but potentially more space if this is long term(years).
@@leza4453 I get that sense that by "baby," he means "young child." An infant would have a crib, not a bed like the one he put in the room. I'm guessing the kid is between six and ten.
@@chickadee1607 it could be a toddler and he just doesn't have a 'baby's size 3dprint. My guess was more the kid is probably out of a crib but under the age of 6.
I agree! I absolutely love that he shows options that are in reach for the real design challenges that people face. It's so much better than American TV shows that are like, "is your house too small for your family? Easy! Just open up the space by tearing down a wall, adding an addition, and painting everything white." Then two days later: Here's before... 🏚️ And ✨ HERE'S AFTER ✨🏡
This is such a smart solution! Especially since kiddo is small still, it can give both parents and kid a sense of their own space, while letting the rest of the house be free for family space.
I so very much appreciate it when you upload videos that are 1 minute and 1 second long. It makes it so that I don't have to watch it as a CZcams short and I can stream it to my TV.
@@SaphirBeere Yeah. The only reason I watch some shorts is because that specific content creator rarely if ever post regular videos, but shorts is such a horrible format that I'd much rather not.
Perfect! Also, if he is an actual baby, get a fold away crib to start. That will do you for the first 2 years, then move to a toddler bed, which is way smaller than a full size, then go to a twin size at 5 or 6 years old. A twin can be kept until adulthood unless your child is a big tall boy. There is no need for a full sized bed for a long time, if ever!
It's tight, but seems to be the best solution for the space, good pathing for the doors while giving room for the radiator. It's rough having so little space, so I'm glad he could help this family.
I would change the door connecting kitchen and bedroom to a sliding barn door so the 4 post bed can fit the left side. I would also fit the single bed into the alcove just as Cliff did. Then put a shelf in between the 2 beds to create privacy for both the parents and their kid. If changing the door isn't an option, then use Cliff's option, but instead of a single bed, use a small sofa bed at the foot of the 4 post bed. This way, it is a sofa during the day and bed at night.
Is the full size bed for the baby or for guests? If the baby is old enough to be in a bed they can get out of, just use a Japanese-style futon that's thin enough to fold up in the morning. Or get one of the numerous foam options that can be arranged as a kid bed, a little seat, or a play fort
It's tight, but the parents still need a bed that fits too and like he said, put curtains and you can make a "barrier" between the parents bed and the child's.
In this case, it seems to work in their favour because the curtains provide privacy. But, yeah, I really dislike heirlooms and I think they should be small or not at all.
currently battling this myself. my grandfather made a beautiful teak queen bed frame - but the headboard is a solid piece and over 8ft wide, which doesn't work with my current small house. do I leave it in storage to gather dust and possibly moisture that will ruin it eventually? or do I sell it and lose the handmade piece of lovely furniture that would work in a future home? it's a hard call. once it is gone I won't ever get it back. for now i have a mattress on a bare plywood base. i could really use a captain's bed with some extra storage though......
Nice solution! I might take down the bedroom door, stow it under the bed, and - if being able to close off the bedroom is really important - put up a curtain in its place. Probably kind of tight to get around the bed and into the room, but it seems to free up more of the space.
I am perpetually confused by huge bed in tiny room problems (yes, there are many reasons for not being able to downsize), at least this family's bed is an heirloom.
The heirloom argument is fair. But yeah the people complaining that their bedroom is too small, while sleeping alone in a king size bed, are annoying. Even worse are van life families, where the parents sleep in a giant bed in their own bedroom, and kids get to sleep on shelves they barely fit on because "there's just no room for full beds".
love your videos, especially dealing with small spaces! have you thought about organizing some of these prefab "tiny homes" that are getting popular? like the boxabl casita (the one musk uses) definitely has some common mistakes
I would love to see that too. My child and I live in a tiny home, though it's not a pre-fab. It was built on top of a gooseneck trailer. It's got low or very low ceilings everywhere except the kitchen. No closets. So there are challenges.
Replace the door with a sliding one, then you can have the bed facing the door (on the left), dresser in the alcove, the other bed by the window - now you know!
I feel like way easier and more efficient would be to take the door off the hinges and replace with curtain? Or a bi-fold door? Would save hella space and no need to turn the bed sideways
Pocket door was my first thought but I know they're very expensive, not really feasible. I don't think sliding/barn doors are good, too much airflow. So this does seem the best solution for sure!
I think I might instead get a pull out trundle type single bed, that fits under the canopy bed and easily rolls out each night. I’d also use a 6-9 cube shelf to create boundary for parent bed and toy/book storage. Then the alcove can transition into daytime play area
I personally would've got the kid a pop up tent, just for sleeping, make an adventure out of it, let them have the space to play during the day, but good solution.
This solution is genius. But my thought is, just because you want to keep an heirloom bed doesn't mean you have to it in your current living space. You could store it at a friend or relative's space until you do have the space, and have so much more room to live in.
That antique bed is high off the ground for a reason, a trundle bed! they should get a single bed low enough to slide under during the day, the free up more space for playing.
Hi I love your stellar advice hoping you could PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE say what to do if the head of your bed can only save north and there's no other choice
Thanks, I have never gotten a good nights sleep since moving in last July -and just wondered if you are supposed to counter it with a crystal how that is supposed to be?@@laetitialalila7390
My first thought is disassembling the bed frame (likely the actual heirloom) and tossing the mattress + box spring. Mattress + box spring can be re-bought when you have room to accommodate such a large bed.
Then you still need a two person bed AND you have a large pile of disassembled wood in the corner. These apartments don't exactly come with a shed, and they certainly can't afford a storage unit if they're in this situation to begin with. It makes more sense to just use the bed and make due.
@@solitarelee6200 More like stored in the closet or under the smaller bed. The main problem is that it doesn't significantly reduce bulk when moving as they still need a bed (or beds).
Your explanation makes way more sense on this video. The other one made it seem like they didn't want to leave this situation EVER. Which would be really concerning 😅
Honestly, I would have to see this in person or on a more slow/thorough video footage, to really have an opinion. If putting the bed in storage is at all an option, I would probably do that. But if it's rented storage and not family/friends, the cost would probably add up for several years. Alternatively, I would remove the door and put up a curtain, so the bed can go into the corner. IF I didn't like the suggested solution. As I said...I don't think it's possible to judge, without really seeing it in person. All the best to the young couple and may they find a bigger home, soon! I had to move in with a friend myself, last year, so I know, how frustrating this whole topic is.
If I were that family, I'd replace the huge 4-poster bed with a narrower bunk bed in a corner If the kid is still small, he/she can stay with the mom on the lower bunk while the dad can get the top bunk. If the kid is already big then he/she can take the top bunk and mom & dad can squeeze in the lower bunk. Yes, it'll be cramped but you gotta work with what you have until you can get a bigger place. My own family lived in a one-bedroom apartment when I was little and we all slept with our beds next to each other.
There are also special family bunk beds with a larger bottom bunk that can fit two adults, but that means having to spend money on something that might not be their highest priority right now, and they got a pretty good solution still with the smaller bed at the foot of the larger one. In another room I can see the smaller bed being put behind a headboard instead, that could make it easier for the child to have his/her own storage space
I would take the doors out from the kitchen and add a curtain. Also just sell this heirloom thing, how will you ever accommodate this piece of furniture!
How can I fit 2 beds in my kids room, one big enough for a bigger boy, and another for a smaller boy? The joy is on one wall is the door, the other wall is a big window and the closet is on the other wall 😅
Why have their own bed let alone own room? Going back historically to the beginning of humans gathering together co sleeping was originally the norm.. Many places mutliple generations slept in same room - the sleeping room. Whether it was warmth or convenience or simplicity. The concept of seperate beds was possible a victorian introduction - the same culture that thought showing an ankle was taboo. If they are breastfeeding, cosleeping definitely makes sense because then mother csn roll over and breastfeed in her sleep and their is faress sleep disturbance. Plus it is better for the human body to feel the connection of others nearby. For some, they do need their individual space to sleep . but this is usually more only for either suepr light sleepers or if someone is snoring or moving around a ton in their sleep.
So, "not perfect" I assume, means the person furthest on the large bed has to CLIMB OVER her partner or the person on the small bed. Well, ¨not perfectïs subject to interpretation. Iassume you don´t see yourself on the furthest part of the bed! For the first time ever, this solution is unrealistic. There HAS to be a better way.
I actually would not have rotated the poster bed, instead I'd have changed the door. A sliding door can fit into the space against the wall, and would solve the problem of the poster bed which now fit neatly in the corner, no gap. The child bed in the alcove, separated from the parent bed by a shelf, creating not just privacy but also storage space for both. (even more so if you use small cube-shelves that you can combine. Put some facing the poster bed, others facing the kid bed to share the storage space between both and not have a big empty surface on one side) It leaves space on the right for a desk or more storage, or even just a playing space although the radiator might be an issue?
That is a pickle for sure. That enclosured space with the curtains is....not for everybody. And soon as the kid gets older...they need to move. I hope they are already looking. Cos that situation is unhealthy for the mental developments of the kid. Being so close to the parents with no privacy. Yes, I am aware that there are millions of families living like this. It still doesn't make it ok.
I'm sorry, but Im sticking to what I said before. This is not a good idea for a teenager. Better to give this room to the child and the parents should stay and sleep in the living room. I'm not shaming or anything, I grew up in a 2 room apartment autistic with adhd, and still it was very difficult. My schedules were different from my parents and that was the only way to get anywhere academically.
He didn't rotate it from how its actually in the room now if you payed attention. He just moved it from the middle of the room to the edge of the room. So the only 'rotation' he did was back from the way it cant fit.
Ah what I meant was youd think you can't rotate it because the alcove is not big enough, but you're allowed to with the hidden storage, but well observed!❤
He got tripped up on his words yes but I was able to understand what he ment. And that the other rotation blocks the door. Just seems like nasty nitpicking to me 🤷♀️.
@@DearModern thank you! Lol people think I’m attacking so they defend but all I sought was clarity (Only reason I already knew the answer is because I learned from many of your previous answers)
Well you're first problem is your family thought making a bed an heirloom would be a good idea. Why couldn't they just stick to a diamond tiara or something like everyone else? 😭
Eeeeh, entire families living in a one-room house was the main mode for most of history unless you were relatively rich. Or entire clans in one very large clan house with partly partitioned areas for separate families. Yeah, unless you were thinking of forest or fields, finding private space for sex was hard.
@@martinabevi fair enough, we used to marry off children at the age of fourteen or betroth them even earlier (though the latter was more for political marriages).
That’s the least helpful thing to say lol not everyone plans to have kids sometimes they just happen unplanned, also I don’t know a single person who isn’t financially struggling right now so should everyone stop having kids?
The child is already born, should they throw it in the river? As if financial situations can't change and accidents never happen... grow a heart before you make us hear you speak again, please.
Why? At that age, giving the baby an extra room is for the benefit of the parents, not the kid. Kids usually don't like being 'banned' to their own rooms very much, until they're primary school age or so. They often downright hate it and will sneak into the parents bedroom at every opportunity. It's the parents, who (understandably) want that, so they can have some alone time with each other. So it's their sacrifice and therefore their decision. It doesn't affect the kid negatively. Not to mention, that 'waiting' can come with a whole host of problems, you realize that, right? They might not be able to easily conceive 'later'. Loads of people come to bitterly regret having put off having kids till their thirties. And you also can't know, what their situation was, when they got pregnant. Maybe they lived at a decent place back then. Maybe their old lease was terminated. Maybe one of them lost their job. You're awfully quick, judging people you know nothing about.
You legit don't know their situation. They could be living under there means even with the kid in order to save to buy a house. Maybe one of them got laid off or injured recently and that has hit their finances but the baby was already part of the equation. There are alot of valid reasons that they are living where they are and they do not have to justify their finances to you. The room looks nice and well kept so they clearly care about their stuff and with keeping a heritage bed and having a baby I would say they are very family oriented. Funny how thats a bad quality. In many other cultures many people sleep in the same room parents and kids. While its not western it doesn't make it wrong. And remember that's only modern western. Not too long ago we too were living much closer together.
And please no hate! The parents are trying their best and they went so far as to sleep on the couch to let the baby have his own room, but it's better to keep the living room free so they can live their lives and have the bedroom just for sleeping ❤

Little more costly in the short term but potentially more space if this is long term(years).
Why does a baby need their own room? Babies have a natural instinct to be with their parents. The need for privacy develops much later at school age.
@@leza4453 I get that sense that by "baby," he means "young child." An infant would have a crib, not a bed like the one he put in the room. I'm guessing the kid is between six and ten.

No shame in a family sharing one bedroom, that's how it's been for most of human history and in most cultures until recently! Good solution 👍
Heck for most of human history, 90% of people lived with their families in a single room. A single room!
Yeah but humans also lived in a cave for a while, times change. Children should have their private space and not be exposed to parents having sex.
@@iwontliveinfearThis doesn’t mean they liked it, or it didn’t cause mental issues.
@@ecee.1811...why on earth are you assuming the parents are having sex in front of their child ??? what the hell...
@@Rubiecat If they have one single room...... where would they even have it? Lol.. common sense?
One purpose of the old-fashioned 4-poster bed was to create a bedroom in exactly this kind of situation!
Really? Never heard of that before
Also to keep the occupants warm in winter!

It would be "mommy and daddy have a tent (because of the curtains) and you get to have a tent, yay!"
There are bed tents that just go over the mattress like a fitted sheet, so they could still do that 😂
Pop up tents can be dangerous if there's a fire, because getting out of them takes more time then jumping out of a bed.
Youre a genius like.

The concept of seperate beds was possible a victorian introduction - the same culture that thought showing an ankle was taboo.
If they are breastfeeding, cosleeping definitely makes sense because then mother csn roll over and breastfeed in her sleep and their is faress sleep disturbance.
Plus it is better for the human body to feel the connection of others nearby.
For some, they do need their individual space to sleep . but this is usually more only for either suepr light sleepers or if someone is snoring or moving around a ton in their sleep.
So, "not perfect" I assume, means the person furthest on the large bed has to CLIMB OVER her partner or the person on the small bed. Well, ¨not perfectïs subject to interpretation. Iassume you don´t see yourself on the furthest part of the bed! For the first time ever, this solution is unrealistic. There HAS to be a better way.
Much easier is just to sleep with the kid.
I actually would not have rotated the poster bed, instead I'd have changed the door. A sliding door can fit into the space against the wall, and would solve the problem of the poster bed which now fit neatly in the corner, no gap.
The child bed in the alcove, separated from the parent bed by a shelf, creating not just privacy but also storage space for both. (even more so if you use small cube-shelves that you can combine. Put some facing the poster bed, others facing the kid bed to share the storage space between both and not have a big empty surface on one side)
It leaves space on the right for a desk or more storage, or even just a playing space although the radiator might be an issue?
That is a pickle for sure. That enclosured space with the curtains is....not for everybody. And soon as the kid gets older...they need to move. I hope they are already looking. Cos that situation is unhealthy for the mental developments of the kid. Being so close to the parents with no privacy.
Yes, I am aware that there are millions of families living like this. It still doesn't make it ok.
would it be possible to move the kitchen to the right side of the main room and give the child a bedroom
It's probably a rented apartment - sometimes you can't just change stuff or layouts & they have to make do with what they have.
I'm sorry, but Im sticking to what I said before. This is not a good idea for a teenager. Better to give this room to the child and the parents should stay and sleep in the living room. I'm not shaming or anything, I grew up in a 2 room apartment autistic with adhd, and still it was very difficult. My schedules were different from my parents and that was the only way to get anywhere academically.
Just get rid of that monster of a bed, heirloom be damned
Hard to have a second child, sharing a badroom! ;)
0:24 you just told us we can’t rotate it - although it’s the obvious answer.
And then you rotate it literally in the next sentence.
He didn't rotate it from how its actually in the room now if you payed attention. He just moved it from the middle of the room to the edge of the room.
So the only 'rotation' he did was back from the way it cant fit.
@@thornback5641 no. If YOU pay attention, you’ll realize you’re entirely wrong
Ah what I meant was youd think you can't rotate it because the alcove is not big enough, but you're allowed to with the hidden storage, but well observed!❤
He got tripped up on his words yes but I was able to understand what he ment. And that the other rotation blocks the door. Just seems like nasty nitpicking to me 🤷♀️.
@@DearModern thank you! Lol people think I’m attacking so they defend but all I sought was clarity
(Only reason I already knew the answer is because I learned from many of your previous answers)
Dissemble the bed and put it in storage! Heirloom or not it makes no sense.
Well you're first problem is your family thought making a bed an heirloom would be a good idea. Why couldn't they just stick to a diamond tiara or something like everyone else? 😭
I can't imagine sleeping next to smelly feet every night 😣
Just eliminate the ridiculous bed
Pleaaaaaase don’t have sex with your kid in the same room, even of he is sleeping… use the bathroom !
Eeeeh, entire families living in a one-room house was the main mode for most of history unless you were relatively rich. Or entire clans in one very large clan house with partly partitioned areas for separate families.
Yeah, unless you were thinking of forest or fields, finding private space for sex was hard.
Europeans used to slave people…
Doesn’t matter if it was like this, doesn’t make RIGHT!
@@fredericapanon207 europeans used to slave africans…
Sometimes that we used to do is not necessarily a good thing ✌🏾
@@martinabevi fair enough, we used to marry off children at the age of fourteen or betroth them even earlier (though the latter was more for political marriages).
maybe don’t have the kid and work instead till you are financially stable and can actually afford a child…
unpopular opinion yes I know
They already have the kid so that is no longer an option.
That’s the least helpful thing to say lol not everyone plans to have kids sometimes they just happen unplanned, also I don’t know a single person who isn’t financially struggling right now so should everyone stop having kids?
The child is already born, should they throw it in the river? As if financial situations can't change and accidents never happen... grow a heart before you make us hear you speak again, please.
Why? At that age, giving the baby an extra room is for the benefit of the parents, not the kid. Kids usually don't like being 'banned' to their own rooms very much, until they're primary school age or so. They often downright hate it and will sneak into the parents bedroom at every opportunity. It's the parents, who (understandably) want that, so they can have some alone time with each other. So it's their sacrifice and therefore their decision. It doesn't affect the kid negatively.
Not to mention, that 'waiting' can come with a whole host of problems, you realize that, right? They might not be able to easily conceive 'later'. Loads of people come to bitterly regret having put off having kids till their thirties.
And you also can't know, what their situation was, when they got pregnant. Maybe they lived at a decent place back then. Maybe their old lease was terminated. Maybe one of them lost their job.
You're awfully quick, judging people you know nothing about.
You legit don't know their situation. They could be living under there means even with the kid in order to save to buy a house.
Maybe one of them got laid off or injured recently and that has hit their finances but the baby was already part of the equation. There are alot of valid reasons that they are living where they are and they do not have to justify their finances to you.
The room looks nice and well kept so they clearly care about their stuff and with keeping a heritage bed and having a baby I would say they are very family oriented. Funny how thats a bad quality. In many other cultures many people sleep in the same room parents and kids. While its not western it doesn't make it wrong. And remember that's only modern western. Not too long ago we too were living much closer together.
When the past is literally hindering the present and future.
