If you have brothers and sisters, it is quite likely there was a point in time (or it continues to be the case) that you had to share a room with them. And of course that’s a problem because there comes a time when everything from playing to sleeping to breathing bothers you and vice versa.
But there’s a solution. Rachael Lowe, a mother of 3, was looking for ideas on how to make the family’s already tiny kids’ bedroom as spacious as possible. After hours of scrolling through Pinterest and careful planning with her significant other, she came up with a multi-themed bedroom for three where everyone gets their own personal space that went viral on the internet.

So, Rachael Lowe along with her partner and her three lovely children live in a relatively small apartment. Needless to say, they have always struggled with space there, and Rachael decided enough was enough.
She hit the interwebs to get some ideas on how to save space, and sure enough she found some. Rachael quickly ran through the plan with her partner and the two got to making it a reality.

The project quickly resulted in a 3-piece bedroom, enough for separate beds, individual desks and chairs, and a storage area, all wrapped in unique kid-friendly themes.
On the right is a Harry Potter-themed corner with an elevated bed, a study space with a desk and chair, and bits of storage on the sides. The bed also comes equipped with a TV for some weekend morning cartoons or late night movie watching before bed.
On the left are two sets of beds—one elevated, providing a lot of room for more storage underneath, and one grounded. The grounded bed is designed in the theme of 101 Dalmatians and also contains a bit of space for personal belongings, while the elevated bed is an Aristocats-styled corner.

The beds are set up in the modern bunk-bed style where they don’t stack on each other, but rather go the opposite directions while meeting in the middle. Oh, and there doesn’t seem to be a TV for the bottom bed, which means someone will have their bed space compromised.
Every bit of space seemed to be utilized to the max without making it look like it’s cramped. Everyone now gets their own little bit of personal space for all of their stuff and activities—and there’s still loads of space for the three to play on the floor.
Rachael has shared pictures of the new kids’ bedroom in the Facebook group called DIY On A Budget, where people absolutely loved it, demanding more details. The post managed to get over 2,500 reactions.
Many of the things you see in the photos were acquired from IKEA, B&M, Amazon, and EBay, except for the beds—those were made by Rachael’s partner

She elaborated that the Harry Potter wallpaper was acquired from Wilko and it actually glows in the dark. The beds were custom made by Rachael’s partner using 3×2 wood, medium-density fibreboard, and dedication—hours and hours of sanding and painting.
“The units with the draws are Ikea Kallax with Drona boxes. The bottom bed base is made using 2×4 unit Kallax and 2× single Kallax so when the front drawers are pulled out, there’s another row of them behind for added storage,” explained Rachael. The desks and chairs are also from IKEA.
The rest was acquired from various other shops, like the blanket side table from B&M, the rug from Amazon, with some decorations being drawn by Rachael herself and others bought from Amazon and Ebay.
