Install a second level in the room?
Unfortunately I have to move, the whole family is moving which means it's going to be very cramped as the space in the house was used very poorly. The problem is that I'm the eldest daughter and, in my parents' opinion, will be the quickest to move out, so I'm getting the small room which is no wider than 2 metres at its widest point, but even then you can only use 170cm because otherwise the door won't open and the room isn't very long either, I'd estimate a maximum of four metres, if that. But my room is high, at its deepest point it's still about 2.60cm, my idea is to add a second floor. However, I don't have much experience with building things that have to hold a lot of weight. That means me and all the things that have to go on there will have to hold 100kg. How thick should the wood be? Should you use metal rods to secure it, or is wood enough? What type of wood should you use? And how much will the whole thing cost roughly?

This ceiling height is not enough for an empor, but at most for a high bed. My recommendation here is Ikea Stora, which is more often used and quite earlier there was even 1.60 instead of 1.40 width.
Otherwise, ever. Dowels to the wall, so approximately from 74x74mm cross-section, on top lay longitudinal beams of the same format, on it cross beams, depending on the side beams still set further canthols which are free in space. Screwed with Heco Toppix screws.
Then the floor can be covered with any sufficiently strong laying plates and/or boards.

With me in the house this was not done, but with connecting angles and overbows, which I consider to be a poorer construction.
As you can see, the ceiling height in this room is almost three times as high as in your room.
The other problem is to find such straight canteens, boards and the like in the construction market. Most of the stuff on the shelf is crooked and crooked and inferior. And still costs three times as much as before the pandemic.
If side walls not only consist of plasterboard 4-5 cross beams with 6*10 cm cross section. If it is more than 2 m wide, 8*12 cm. Then OSB plates. Take an afternoon with an assistant. You need a hammer drill or hammer drill, a cordless screwdriver and a saw. Screws and dowels depending on the wall.
It is a good idea to build a high bed over the entire width of the room. I would not attach it to the wall, but instead put it on stable wooden legs.
I prefer to sleep downstairs because I often have any sports injuries and there it is inconceivably laborious to get to the high bed. My parents say that would be too childish I should also take a bed that I can take with you when I move out. Yes I had to build it like an oversized high bed with 4-5 posts and gratings because otherwise I would fall off safely. 😂
What else do you want to use a second level if not as a high bed?
If your room is 2.60m high, there are not so many possibilities.
To use your space optimally, you could turn your bed into a kind of sofa during the day by rolling your bedding with blankets against the wall and setting a few big pillows before it. Of course there is also a ceiling on the seat surface.
But then you have to get up there, but not as compelling as to sleep. I understand!
to watch TV and have it easy to read and learn.
my deck is at the lowest place 2,60cm high I have a roof bevel.
There are ready beds or look through this link:

There are also instructions on the Internet, see also the link:

The costs are calculated according to the type of construction. Best if you know what you need, go to the internet and a website of construction markets. Alternatively, ask directly there.
