decoenthusiaste Do you have enough ceiling space to do this? They can flip a coin every six months to see who gets the top.

judyg Is the dotted line the knee wall?

If so that entire wall could become desks and drawers, with all the electrical equipment hidden. The 11 x 7 area could be just for hanging clothes.
Master Bedroom

Or 3 of these, where each bed has a desk and a bureau.
Lea Industries Dillon Corner Desk Platform Bed

Contemporary Bedroom
Or this, which you can design yourself from IKEA products and it won't be a break the bank solution. You could have a couple of extra beds for sleepovers.

P S, how long until college? :>)

Remya Warrior Designs Jenny, the area which you have marked 11'-6" x 7'-1", is it possible to create a long desk? Then atleast 2 of your kids could easily do homework at the same time. If not that space can be used as a huge walk in closet. What is the height of the ceiling at the lowest point in the room?
