a double bed against the wall looks awkward is difficult to make up so i prefer version 2 without the timber "headboard?" and swop the double bed for a single trundle bed and low wide bookshelves for toys and books, a single chair for bedtime story time and, depending on the height of the window, a long bench or low bookshelves under the window for storage and/or lego building, colouring in etc but best decision depends on the actual dimensions of the room and the details of who will be using it

I agree with oklouise about better bed placement (option 2) and storage bench running along wall under the window. What about a long window seat with the seats hinged to open upwards to enable storage underneath? That leaves plenty of floor space for playing with toys, etc.

In your option 2, was the timber headboard a specific design to be more than just a headboard, ie is it also for storage?

Hi. I would not have the mirror in bedhead/storage. Kids love to look at themselves and I can just picture what my grandson would do: use the bed as a trampoline and check out his looks in the mirror, or knocking toys against the mirror just to see what would happen...good grief.

I do like the idea of future-proofing the room, though. I think window seats w/storage will work always, just choose fabric with longevity in mind.

Oklouise has make a good point about viability of future-proofing room for a child. I guess you weigh up costs now versus the sound argument she has made. What we as parents may believe will work in the future for our kids may not be at all what they want or need then. It might be better to wait and see, and in the meantime you will have saved a bit of money.
