Planning children's room / bed sizes

Hello,

I am currently planning the furniture, sockets, and light switches in our floor plan. My wife thinks that we should already plan for larger beds (1.60m wide) or even furnish the rooms with them right away (children: 1x 3 years old; 1 more planned).

What do you think about this, does it make sense to plan a large youth/adult bed for children? For me, the larger bed results in more difficult room concepts, and the bigger bed also takes away valuable play space on the floor, which is especially important for toddlers.

The rooms are each 3.80m x 4m = approx. 15 sqm.

A 1.6m x 2m bed has 3.2 sqm. A 0.9m x 2m bed has 1.8 sqm. That's almost a 1.5 sqm difference...

What's it about? Planning the larger bed in advance or placing it in the children's room from the start?

The former can't hurt, although we had more like 1.4m in mind. There should be enough space. The latter can be saved until the children are older. Until then, they have the play area.

I think rooms grow with the children. At 3 or younger, 90 cm wide floor beds are quite practical. After that, a cool loft bed and a teenager wants something different again. Definitely no bed with stickers or early childhood artwork. At some point and somehow, furniture suffers from age-appropriate use.

Yes, provide power outlets for that, no, don't buy furniture now.

Yes, I am currently in the process of planning sockets at the bedside table and light switches at the head of the bed. But what do I do if the furniture layout changes later? Wouldn't it be better not to plan the children's rooms "individually" at all? So it might be best to just provide 2 sockets on all 4 walls and that’s it?

1.60 I truly find too exaggerated. Who is supposed to sleep in there? The 16-year-old early mom with her boyfriend and child? One meter width should be enough, they won't live in the dormitory with more either. Wider is nice to have and conceivable from a 160 sqm house. Two-way switching for the ceiling light I find sensible, as well as enough sockets by the bed.

Sockets in every corner. Who knows what will happen later. There are extension cords after all.
