Bedroom Designs

We hope to move into a new house soon. Inspired by some things on the internet, I started sketching proposals for arrangements of the boys’ bedrooms.
Here are 4 of them.
Sunken Bed
The purpose of this is to prevent injuries for the child who rolls out of bed often. The raised floor can be used for extra storage, with lids to access the space.
Jungle Gym Bed
The purpose of this is for fun and activities.
Castle Bed
The purpose of this is to stimulate the imagination.
Bunk Bed
The purpose of this is to maximize use of a small space.
I then, in order to improve the attitude of a certain child and get him to see the possibilities and excitement of moving into a new house, showed the kids my designs and asked them to draw their own ideas
They came up with these:
Beta immediately liked the slide-and-climbing-net concept, so I let him modify it:
Modified Jungle Gym Bed
Gamma immediately liked the castle concept, so I let him modify it:
Modified Castle Bed
Then Beta drew his own:
Beta’s Bed
Then Gamma drew his own:
Gamma’s Bed
The next day, Alpha presented me with a book of ten ideas – some his and some of Beta’s. I’m not going to show them all here, but here are most of them.
What feature would you, as a child, have wanted for your bedroom?
Please, let us make a little walled upper chamber and let us set a bed for him there, and a table and a chair and a lampstand; and it shall be, when he comes to us, that he can turn in there.

And then I came along and dashed all their hopes and dreams.
