[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This thread is pretty wild.  But I am team OP here.  Small bedrooms for the kids,  larger room as a common play/study area/guest room.

When I was a kid I really really wanted the room my father wanted as his study.  I got a different room and was able to see the pluses of that room/arrangement once we were living there.   I realize it's not the same thing but the uses of rooms is 100% a parent decision and while the kid might be disappointed it will be quickly gotten over - especially if she is involved in decorating her bedroom the way she likes.

I would agree with you if there was an adult use for the room.  Like if OP wanted to use it as an office/craft room or something.  
Maybe OP is some kind of master decorator or something, and she really can make a space that simultaneously serves as a little boy’s playroom/ tween girl’s hangout area/ adult guest bedroom.  But if she’s like most people, it’s probably going to be filled with a bunch of LEGOs set up on the built-ins that she never quite got around to tearing out and the nugget couch.  Once a quarter, when guests come, they will move the toys and drag in a queen mattress.  [/quote]
