A friend once had these 80x200cm beds from Ikea for her children, I don’t remember if they were pull-out or stackable – so if needed, you had two 80cm wide beds next to each other. This was already liked in elementary school for sleepovers or when the siblings wanted to sleep together. In the teenage years, a 140cm wide bed then came along.

A standard single bed size is sufficient for a children's room. Ours had sofa beds when they got older - which were of course a bit wider. Think about the usual electrical equipment of teenagers when it comes to the sockets - computers, consoles, chargers, etc. want to be connected. Otherwise, you can be quite relaxed - there are hardly any teenagers who are annoyed by a multi-socket extension cord on one cable. Most probably don't even notice that the sockets could also be in the wall.

You say so! Me too! Apparently, one should still have a kitchenette for the kids, at least a microwave and dishwasher... or am I mistaken? *ponder

As a male being, that would have been unpleasant for me. I mean the tiny bed.
As I already wrote, with all my buddies, it sorted itself out.
For me, it was my mother who, when I was about 14, suggested I wish for a new bed for my birthday.
Thanks mom

But I basically don't see the problem with 15 sqm. Somehow everything fits in there.

No toddler will have a 1.80m bed. Do such things even exist?
No 16-year-old will have a 0.9m bed, do such things even exist?

Do you think a teenager cares at all about where the electricity comes from when having to choose between a lounger and a coffin for singles, where the power outlet is? Don’t give a damn.

The point is to offer the child something modern or more age-appropriate. I think you can't really give any advice here: some are happy to provide children with a space for self-realization, others care about quantity...

It was about the width of the bed and the positioning of sockets and light switches.

I think 2 sockets in each corner are enough. And a light switch at the (child's) bed is a luxury problem. Every walk keeps you slim.

Comfort is for the old.

I would rather consider whether the structural stability in the child's room is sufficient to install a whirlpool there later. And provide for sewage and high-voltage power. You only live once and not (only) for others.
