How to plan a kids room in FloorGen

Draw the room. Open the 12 × 12 ft bedroom and drag its walls to your size, or press R and drag your own. Add the door (D) and windows (N) where they are, then select the room and set its type to Kids room.
Furnish it in one step. Right-click the room and choose Furnish as → Kids room. FloorGen places a single bed, a wardrobe, a writing desk with a chair and, in rooms over about 97 ft² (9 m²), a bookshelf, against the walls and clear of the door swing. Shuffle furniture layout tries another arrangement; one undo removes it.
Swap in the right pieces. Press L and search "crib", "changing table", "bunk bed", "loft bed", "toy storage", "play mat" or "kids desk". Select a piece to type its exact size, or drag it to another wall; press R while dragging to turn it.
Check the floor that is left. Measure the play space with the tape (M). Review (Shift+I) flags a walkway under 75 cm (about 30 in), a door that swings into furniture and, under the IRC, a sleeping room without an escape window or an upstairs window low enough to need fall protection.
Plan the next stage too. Open Floors (Alt+9) and click Duplicate as a new design, then turn the nursery into a school-age room in the copy. Switch between the two from the list; press 3 to see each in 3D.

Kids beds and the space they take

US mattress sizes, and the size of FloorGen's library models (width × length × height, from the catalog). Real beds vary; resize a model to yours.
Bed	Mattress	FloorGen model	Model height
Crib	About 28 × 52 in	2 ft 4 in × 4 ft 3 in (70 × 130 cm)	3 ft 1 in
Toddler bed	Crib mattress	2 ft 6 in × 4 ft 9 in (75 × 145 cm)	2 ft
Kids single bed	Twin, 38 × 75 in	3 ft 1 in × 6 ft 7 in (95 × 200 cm)	2 ft 7 in
Bunk bed	Two twins	3 ft 3 in × 6 ft 9 in (100 × 205 cm)	5 ft 5 in
Loft bed with desk	Twin	3 ft 3 in × 6 ft 9 in (100 × 205 cm)	5 ft 11 in
Twin over full bunk bed	Twin over a full, 54 × 75 in	4 ft 9 in × 6 ft 10 in (145 × 208 cm)	5 ft 7 in
L-shaped bunk	Two twins	6 ft 7 in × 6 ft 7 in (200 × 200 cm)	5 ft 7 in

A bunk or loft bed frees a wall but not the floor under it, so the gain is a desk or a play den under a loft, not under a bunk. Check the height too: under an 8 ft ceiling, the 5 ft 5 in bunk's top leaves about 2 ft 7 in, enough to sit up on the top bunk but not much more. The US Consumer Product Safety Commission advises against children under 6 sleeping on an upper bunk. For a single bed, a common rule of thumb is about 24 in of floor along the side you get in; the bed size calculator checks each mattress against your room.

Kids rooms and the code

A kids room is a bedroom to the building code. Under the US International Residential Code it needs at least 70 ft² and 7 ft in every direction (2021 IRC R304) and an emergency escape opening (R310), and an opening window less than 24 in above the floor and more than 6 ft above the ground outside needs fall protection (R312.2.1). With the IRC profile on, FloorGen checks all three for a room typed as Kids room or Bedroom. Legal bedroom requirements has the details, and window sill height code the fall-protection rule.

Limits

FloorGen does not check furniture safety: crib slat spacing, bunk guardrails, tip-over anchoring and toy-box lids are for the product's own standard and instructions.
The fall-protection check reads the window heights you draw; it cannot see a window opening limiter or guard, so ignore the row if the window has one.
Furniture is from FloorGen's library and can be resized, but you cannot import a specific product's model.
The 3D view is for layout and scale, not a photoreal render of colours, bedding and wallpaper.

Questions

How big should a kids bedroom be?

At least 70 ft² and 7 ft wide under the IRC, the minimum for any bedroom where it is adopted. About 10 × 10 ft fits a single bed, a desk and a wardrobe; 12 × 12 ft leaves floor to play on or room for two beds.

Can two kids share a 10 × 10 ft room?

Often, with a bunk bed: two twins on a 3 ft 3 in × 6 ft 9 in footprint leave room for a desk and a wardrobe. Two twin beds against opposite walls with a 30 in walkway between them take about 9 ft of width before any desk or wardrobe. Place them and measure.

Can FloorGen furnish a kids room?

Yes. Right-click the room and choose Furnish as → Kids room: a single bed, a wardrobe, a writing desk with a chair and, in rooms over about 97 ft², a bookshelf. The pieces are ordinary furniture you can swap for a bunk bed or a crib.

Is there a nursery planner?

Use the same room: search the library for "crib", "changing table", "nursing chair" or "playpen". There is no one-click nursery set, so place them yourself.

Can I plan a playroom?

Yes. Draw the room and set its type to Kids room, then add a play mat, a play tent, a play kitchen, a train table, a craft table or an indoor slide from the library.

Can I keep two versions of the room?

Yes. In the Floors panel, Duplicate as a new design copies the floor so you can plan the room for a baby and for a ten-year-old, and switch between them.
