Create Another Bedroom?

[incubator 0]

Has anyone tried partitioning out an extra (proper) bedroom? If you have, please share what material you used. Thanks in advance!

By the way, my story is this: My growing children need to have their own bedroom (a boy & a girl). We tried selling our current two bedder apartment for the last one year without success even though our asking price was lower than valuation. My guess is that we are situated in an area where one needs to walk a distance to shops and public transport. Only if you live here then you will appreciate the serenity of the place. I always told my DH that this place is a perfect retirement home. However, nice as the place is, we lack a 3rd bedroom for our little girl. My apt is actually a good sized 2-bedder (1023sqft) with a nice balcony which has now become our dining area. Since we are unable to sell the place off, we decided to make do with our space to create an extra room in the original study/dining area.

Please share your experience.

If you could show us your floor plan for illustration purposes it will be even better

Hi,

My neighbors use partition board to create extra bedroom/s and install normal doors on them. You wouldn't notice the diff unless you knock on them.

I will post my floor plan as soon as I figure out how.. To make the partitioned room look less like an office, I intend to use frosted glass (daughter's room so she will need the privacy next time) sliding door. Will show an illustration soon too. Please keep the comments coming so I have more ideas. Thanks so much!
