BH we were able to afford a house, by many miracles. The catch is that the house is old, attached and built very strangely. Very few bedrooms and lots of sitting rooms. The main floor is basic enough: entryway, dining room, living room, kitchen, bathroom, some closets. It's the rest of the house thats hard to figure out. In short we created a plan to chop up the space but almost all the rooms can't fit two beds. Our room can fit 2 beds, and if we ever redo the basement, we can fit 2 beds in there. There are 3 rooms that can fit one bed each and have zero closets so we need freestanding ones that take up even more space.
DH thinks it's silly to make little rooms, a house with a bunch of tiny rooms, isn't resellable. Also how can we have guests this way. I think we need to make the space work for our family as it is now even if it's not typical.
What do you think?
Any creative space solutions for tiny bedrooms?

In tiny kids rooms you can buy 33" wide beds & arrange then in a L format so one bed is against the back wall & the second one against a side wall with the head of the bed against the other bed. I grew up with such a bedroom & was ok with 33" beds until I got married at 20.
Can you leave 1 room a bit larger to accommodate guests?
For closets if the hallway is wide enough can you have hallway closets instead of inside the bedrooms? Like this you can have drawers in the bedrooms (under beds?) & hanging in the hallways.
You can also custom order furniture (usually laminate, not super fancy but durable) to include beds & closets in 1 setup.

We have 5 kids. 3 girls and 2 boys. One boy is a toddler. We can put 2 girls on a bunk bed.
I didn't think of L shaped beds. I think one room can fit that.

Can you put a twin or 33" plus a toddler bed for the boys? And a bunk bed plus trundle or even a triple bunk for the girls? Some really cute options online, can be treehouse style, etc. Obviously depending in their ages.

When you say there's no room for 2 beds, do you mean regular size beds? What about two 33 inch beds? Or a bunk bed or a loft bunk bed?
How many people are in your family and who do you have to house?

What r the dimensions of the rooms. Can u switch the hinges on the doors so they open into the hallway this gives more room in the bedrooms.
Speak to a space planner this could be really helpful
