I [45m] want to re purpose our late daughter's room, but fear my wife [41f] will be hurt if I tell her. What should I do?

Our daughter passed away when she was 9, 2 years ago. We also have a 10 year old daughter right now.

Her room old room has stayed pretty much the same for the past 2 years and my wife cleans it about once or twice a week. I rarely go there. I still struggle with the pain but I don't feel any particular attachment to her old room. I mean, if I were to move things out it wouldn't be pleasant, but I'd rather have some use for the space.

Knowing how my wife feels about preserving her room, it would probably hurt her to bring up the idea of moving things out and turning it into something else, so I haven't said anything.

Should I bring it up or not? Would it be insensitive of me? My grandmother lost her son in her home and she still turned the room into something different. I don't think anyone can think that she was insensitive about it.

Should I say it?

tl;dr: I want to re purpose our late daughter's old room but my wife wil probably be hurt if I mention it. Should I mention it?
