This is an oddly specific question, but couldn't see it answered anywhere else or online.

I currently have a single bed (yes, I am putting the siiiing in single...).

When I have a kid, it will be me & kid 'living' in my bedroom: so my bed + their crib + change table + nursing chair + our dressers/my closet, plus my work desk, plus any toys/playspace etc. We will have access to a shared living space with other family members, as well as lots of outdoor space (garden, beach, parks).

Will I need a larger bed, like a double, when the kid arrives? I don't plan to cosleep (but crib will be next to my bed). Will I want to use the bed with the baby for ...things? Feeding? Playing? Financially I can afford the bed, so it's moreso a question of size and necessity. The double bed would make the room a bit more squished - less room to move, less floor space.

I appreciate any feedback of a shared bedroom/office/living space for baby and me! Especially tips for making small shared spaces work. Thank you!
