Living in a 6'6" by 6'5" bedroom...

I had a bedroom that size when I was a student. I had a waist high platform bed in it with two chests of drawers underneath, there was a bit of storage space behind them which I could access if I flipped the mattress up and slid the bed slats over. I had an L-shaped corner desk with shelving above it for my telly, and over the bed. My wardrobe was out in the hall....the hall was about x6 the size of my room, come to think of it! It was fine, it was warm, it cost me £9.50 a week back then and I could tidy it up in under five minutes.

The difference between a bedroom that size and a boxroom/cupboard that size is a window btw. If it has a window it's a bedroom. No window and it's a boxroom.

There is legislation covering doors that open outwards. Consider a wall bed or bed on stilts.
