This room is so, so lovely!

I really like that each child has their own spaces, both beds and desks... my only gripe is that the loft bed seems a little light-on with the railings. I'd prefer to see some at the head and foot of the bed, and maybe even for the side one to be slightly longer.

Ditto on the railings, but yes, this looks great.

Ooh, liking the comforters. Has anyone seen them around?

I think the room is lovely and fun but I disagree with Courtney's assertion that they gave them "tons" more floor space. I wondered if there was any way to extend the loft, making it long enough for 2 twin beds. Hard to say without knowing the measurements and realities of the space. Another option that made sense to me was to use a full-sized bed underneath the loft, which would have given slightly more space than my 1st option. Either option would truly have given the kids more floor space.

And I loved the wallpaper but found it a slightly odd and easily dated choice for a kids room. I suspect that my daughter would not have liked a giant photo of herself on her bedroom wall, especially once a few years go by, as she matures and doesn't want to think of herself as a "baby."

Quilts are from Urban Outfitters. I love them (bought one for my daughter). I want ALL the colors!

This doesn't seem to be the best use of the space.

Thanks for posting where the quilts were from, I was just going to ask!

i like the room, and it feels cleaner and more organized but that's because they removed all the toys and added a desk. there is not more space than they had before. even sliding the bed up against the far wall would have given more play space. Or lofting two beds and leaving one below would have been a better option.

but cheers to the Novogratz's for making a clean sophisticated kid friendly design once again.

It looks to me having watched the TV show that there would have been enough room to extend the loft bed to accommodate 2 children foot to foot. Then put one twin trundle bed against the wall, thus saving more room. Also to have another mattress for a sleepover would be great. The desk area is quite good, but could have been a little deeper if they reconfigured the beds. I like the wallpaper photograph but I also agree that it dates the wall. Unlike photos in frames that can be changed often.

where did my comments of a moment ago go?

If I had access to a custom furniture builder, I would have put all four beds on platforms with desks and/or a playhouse underneath. Now THAT would have generated some awesome play space for a bunch of four year olds.

The picture is sweet but a weird choice at that age. It won't age well.

Am I the only one that thinks it's strange to have a hubs photograph of the children on the wall? I don't know. I think some nice family photos or pictures of friends or animals would be better. If what they're going for is personalization then maybe a small picture of the child along with photos of others?

*huge photograph not Hubs!

For anyone who doesn't live in NYC this is a crazy situation to have three kids in such a small room - certainly they'll have to move in the next couple of years or really reconfigure their space - in which case the custom wallpaper will have to go. It's a cool looking room but seems very temporary for all the expense that went into it.

I used the exact same wall stickers in my son's room...

Love the colors, but the whole thing just doesn't seem like that much of an improvement on what came before. I agree with many earlier posters that the bunk bed doesn't seem very safe for such a young child. The desks, while a nice idea, seem shallow and prone to clutter. The lighting is very cute, but probably only looks nice in the photos because it is supplemented by natural light coming in through the windows. At night this single string of lightbulbs will probably cast harsh shadows. None of the beds have any sort of nightstand space or dedicated reading/task light, and there still isn't much in the way of floor space for playing. I understand the serious space limitations they were working with, but I just don't think the changes improved matters all that much. This was the first time I watched the Novogratz's show, and it will probably be the last.

I concur with the other posters that the loft should have been bigger to accommodate either two or three of the kids so there was more play space on the floor. If you are going to custom make something, why not add even more space? I also thought desks were an odd choice for such young kids. My eldest is 9 and he doesn't need a desk- he does his homework at the kitchen table. I would have thought they would have put up shelves to store the toys and the kids' clothing. I really liked how the colors of the bed covers and dots were reflected in the art piece.

I love the light fixture they created and would love to recreate it in my son's room. Sadly those lights each cost around $50, and to get the impact I want I'd need at least ten of them. That's a couple of hundred bucks more than I want to spend. Does anyone know of a cheaper way of recreating the look?

Anyone know where the stools are from??

The first photo actually gives a real sense of what the room dimensions are -- and it is a small room! The third photo is all tricked with its telescoping effect that elongates the room.

I understand what the Novos were trying to do with this room. Not everyone wants to create floorspace in a bedroom. Some people just want bedrooms to primarily be sleeping spaces.

reef - IKEA used to have light cords in different colors but they've disappeared this season. However, if you'd settle for a basic white one, they're loads cheaper and are really versatile.. you could do a LOT with them.

Loved the lights. I've been wanting to do something like that in our loft for a while!

Call me grumpy, but I'm not impressed at all, and I usually like their solutions well enough. This does not seem like a particularly creative solution, and I think the giant faces of the children are creepy, not charming. (The children are charming, but the enormous image is not.)

And where are their toys? I presume not in a playroom or they wouldn't be three in a room. This seems very unrealistic (says the mother of a four year old)

Agree with two loft beds, foot to foot with one underneath. Instead of the desk, I would have opted for a small table where one, two or all three could use and that would have freed some more floor space.
I also saw one room in magazine many years ago where a mom had three daughters sharing one bedroom and had a triple bunk bed.

i used to love nine by design but this season on HGTV is really bad. they use the same 3 tired elements in every room that they've done and everything looks so amateur!

the room was cute, but mostly i scratched my head. the mural is nice, but why not chalkboard the wall in a fun color so the kids can use it? putting toy storage in the desk was a great idea.

the loft gave me fits: they are too young for a bunk bed; the boy was already ordering his sister to get off - there will be a push/fall coming soon; no skids on the steps, the railing is too short for safety.

whatever the couple spent should have been saved toward getting a bigger place.

(the ceiling is not high enough for a triple bunk and no one would put their small kid against a window in a city high rise)

Where are their toys??? This is too sophisticated for little children. But as an adult, I loved the painting, the window treatment, the quilts and pillows, and the stools.

the toys are in the desk. it has storage cabinets underneath (between the stools)

They must not have many toys, then. That's some small storage.

I love the whole space. Great Job!

LOVE the whole design and love the really large photo print! So many lights, i hope they are compact fluorescent bulbs.

As a mother of multiples, I'm telling you.... All hell is going to break loose every night at bedtime. All three kids are going to want the elevated bed... resulting in a rotation schedule, and someone who isn't happy every single night! haha. I'm all about teaching kids to wait their turn, but that's not something I feel like dealing with at night before bed. LOL.

I liked nine by design too... but I always felt the "design" part of that show was a little weak. This HGTV series is just lame in every way.

These are a handsome manhattan couple and their appeal is high end projects. Why are producers having them design rec rooms and other low end projects? Seems like a missed opportunity. HGTV already has those budget-minded shows and they do a better job.

I also really feel like the "design" is the same 3 tricks every week. At least this room did not have words on the wall. I'm so sick of that one and almost always seemed tired and trite when they do it. The photo wallpaper is not great here.

I did like the Rockaway surf house pretty well but it's been downhill from there. The LA school gym was nice but still basically an ugly space even after transformation. That was my favorite use of words and photo walls that we see every week from this pair.

Novogratz's need a new producer and a new agent.

I wish they would have painted the beds. And I feel like a large photo like that of your kids should be in the family room...but if the clients are happy, that's all that really matters.

I like the idea of the triple bunkbeds, but wonder where all of their clothes are going to go. It seems like a very short-term solution and if I was paying for a designer I would want more storage and a bit more longevity in my room. I get the impression that their designs are geared towards that "reveal" moment and by the next day they will already be showing signs of wear.

What are the dimensions of this room? I like to chalkboard idea instead of the photo. In my girl's room, I have two birdhouses mounted on the same wall with a rope in between, and their own photos/pictures are clipped on with laundry clips. Very cute (Target 19.99 but they have similiar things on ETSY).

Keep in mind, that a lot of 4 year olds (and even much older) don't like heights. Depending on the personalities of these kids, having two beds on the floor might be a good option.

BUT for when the kids get older (say, 7 or 10), a redo with all the beds lofted and desks underneath would essentially open up the room and give each kid their own space. I would also give each their own rug.
