It sounds like storage is her primary concern. If she needs a full bed, she could forego a nightstand and use a tall, 36" wide highboy dresser or a desk with hutch, depending on her needs. A full bed is 4.5' wide, which would leave 3.5' for the dresser unit to the side if she's got an 8' wide wall, and she can make use of the tall storage. I can't give the best advice without seeing a floor plan, but I would consider removing the closet door if it interrupts furniture placement, and hang a curtain instead. Also, something like this bed could work well for her as opposed to lifting the bed like in a dormroom: https://www.domino.com/design-by-room/malm-storage-bed-review/

Get a tall free standing set of shelves and insist that it be anchored to the wall. That's one hole the landlord should comply with. IKEA pax units are great. Ours are only 13" deep but hold a ton.

No need to go into this thinking it's tiny and she'll laugh about it someday. I moved to a big city as a young adult and stayed and am raising my family here.

Bunk beds are an option. Storage underneath or on top as desired.

It’s true that if not an abnormally small bedroom but when you are living in your house, you have stuff elsewhere. This is definitely more like a dorm-room situation where basically all your stuff is contained in your bedroom except things like shared furniture.

I wouldn’t want to sleep in a twin bed as an adult. If the full beds with drawers can fit that’s a good option. I’m not clear on what everyone wants to do with S clips.

I think look for things that serve dual purpose. A desk that can be moved around to be a vanity, a side table that serves as storage with drawers

OP there are Facebook groups like Dorm Room Mamas where you might be able to get ideas for layout in small spaces and under-bed or wall shelving that wouldn't require drilling into a wall.

If you need shelves, I would get the plastic ones with pvc pipe-like tubing between the shelf ledges. The are easy to assemble and disassemble and move. I have combined more than one to make mine taller (obviously put heavier items on lower shelves) and one shelf could even act as a bedside table because you can reach in between the tubing. If you don’t like the open sides on other levels you can always block it off with a magazine holder, cutting board, tray, or small white board or cork board. Some even have holes or opening on the edges that would accommodate S hooks.

My DS's bedroom at home is slightly smaller than this. Unless your DD has a steady partner who frequently spends the night, i would suggest a single bed. But whether single or full, get a low or mid-level loft and you can put dressers under it.

S hooks are her friend. https://a.co/d/97WLovM

If you get any other relatively tall piece (like the storage unit linked earlier) you can attach hooks (nails, screws, etc) to that and have it do double duty.

Agree. It's not difficult. Also command strips work fine. You can use velcro ones for hanging framed posters, steel hook ones for towels or kitchen items.

Why does she need a full bed? Someone else sharing it with her? A twin will suffice and save room.
