8 of the Best Big Bedroom Layouts for Every Need

You'd think that bedroom layouts would be easy to figure out. You pick the best wall for the bed, flank it with a couple of nightstands, maybe add a dresser or even a small sofa, and you're done. But it's not one size fits all, and bedroom layouts need to cater to the specific space. If your room is feeling cavernous rather than cozy, if you're blocking a seriously good view with bulky furniture, or if, no matter how hard you try, you can't make your bedroom layout feel coherent, we have myriad easy solutions to make your space feel put together and layered.

Consider this your guide to redesigning your big bedroom so that it works better for you.

If your bedroom is long and narrow, chances are there is a lot of empty space at the foot of your bed, which can make it feel cold and empty rather than cozy. Instead of having unused floor space, try adding a bench, daybed, or small sofa at the foot of your bed to give the room layers and add functionality. You'll bring back the intimate feeling in no time.

A large bedroom with a gorgeous view can be tricky to furnish if you're trying to avoid blocking the precious vistas. If you want to leave your window walls bare, try condensing your furniture to one side of the room. Here, an extra-long headboard with built-in storage goes a long way to avoid making the space feel bare.

Bedrooms can feel a little cold sometimes, especially if you don't have space for an upholstered chair or bench. The multiple storage pieces that typically go into a bedroom all have similar square edges and hard surfaces. To break this up, use a floor plant or a tree to make the space feel more organic and less sterile. Art and soft furnishings can help, too.

Do you have an extra-large bedroom that looks awkward and empty no matter how you lay out your furniture? Try floating your bed in the middle of the space. Yes, it may feel counterintuitive, but with a storage piece or table (built-in or not), you can make space for additional wall storage—like for a wall-to-wall closet, for instance.

This might be the oldest rule in the playbook, but if you have an awkward empty corner in your bedroom, fill it with a small reading nook. A chair, side table, and a floor lamp can add just the right layer of sophistication to a space without overwhelming it—and it also breaks up the hard lines of storage furniture. Other great options include a bench or a luggage rack.

Try adding a small narrow bench along with a few pillows. Suddenly, an unused space becomes a reading area or a place to sit during the day that's not your bed. You can even add a side table to make it feel more like a small daybed.

You may need more storage in your room. To maximize your potential storage space, go with the highest or largest dresser you can find. A tallboy looks great on a narrow wall, while a low dresser is ideal under windows or to double as a vanity. And if the wall where your bed is is extra long, try flanking your bed with a couple of small, low dressers.

Small studios can be tricky to furnish, so if you need extra privacy in your sleeping area, try tucking a built-in bed in a corner and separating it with a simple wall-to-wall curtain. That way, you can close off your sleeping area when guests come over.

21 Tips for Styling an Odd-Shaped Bedroom

Are you faced with the design challenge of an odd-shaped bedroom? I had the same problem. I’m talking awkward angles, asymmetric walls, off-centered lighting, the whole deal. And on top of that, I had two of them! One small oddly shaped master bedroom and one large weird-shaped guest bedroom.

But as someone with a passion for interior design, I was determined to crack the secret of how to style an odd-shaped bedroom.

I’ve come up with these 20 tips to help you decorate and arrange furniture in an odd-shaped bedroom.

Let’s get to it! Here are some important things to remember when decorating a weirdly shaped bedroom.

1. Determine which wall makes sense for your bed

Ideally, you’d be able to place your bed against the wall opposite the entrance to the bedroom. However, in both of my odd-shaped bedrooms, that just wasn’t possible.

So if you’re in the same boat as me, don’t fret! You can definitely break this general interior design rule and do what makes the most sense.

For my master bedroom, that means our bed is on the wall to the right of our door.

For my guest bedroom, that means the bed is immediately on your right as you walk in, on the same wall as the door.

2. Don’t be afraid to put a king bed in a small bedroom

We had a queen bed for our first seven years of marriage. After we had our son, I slept in the queen bed in the nursery while my husband stayed in our room. And we slept so well (yes, even with a newborn)! We’d forgotten how good you could sleep with tons of space and without worrying about disturbing your spouse! So after seven years of marriage, we decided it was time to upgrade to a king bed.

There was just one problem: our master bedroom is not only oddly shaped, but it’s also small!

Ironically, the guest room/nursery is significantly larger than the master bedroom. But we consider it the master bedroom because it has a much larger bathroom (with a larger tub and a stand-up shower), a fireplace (romantic!), and a balcony.

I decided to just go for it and upgrade to a king bed because our sleep is more important than any interior decorating faux pas.

Fortunately, when we set up the king bed, we realized that it still worked perfectly and didn’t feel too big for our room.

So if this is your fear, as long as it physically fits and there’s enough walking space around the bed (think: at least 3 feet of space around the side and foot of the bed. Also make sure all doors can be opened), then go for it! Put a king bed in a small bedroom!

This is the bed frame we chose and we love it! It’s in the Light Cream color and we paired it with a Nectar mattress with a 7.5-inch box spring.

3. On that note, don’t be afraid to use large pieces in a small room

There are three main reasons people want to use large furniture or decor:

If your space can physically handle larger furniture (you’ll want to measure first… more about that in tip number 18!), don’t shy away from using it.

For the same reason that an empty room can look bigger once furniture is in it, a small room doesn’t necessarily feel smaller with larger furniture!

And when it comes to wall decor, I love big pieces because they typically feel classier and tie a room together.

4. Ground your odd-shaped bedroom with an area rug

This tip is really important when dealing with an odd-shaped bedroom. An area rug can make a huge difference in a bedroom, and I think that every bedroom should have one- even the odd-shaped bedrooms! And yes, that includes carpeted bedrooms.

When placing the area rug, try to get one big enough to feel grounded. As a general rule of thumb: the bigger the rug, the more elevated the room feels. Here’s a good guide for choosing rug sizes.

However, you may need these next two tips if you have a really odd-shaped room as we did!

5. If needed, use a runner or place an area rug off-center

We had a tricky rug situation in our master bedroom because one side of our king bed is almost all the way up against a wall.

Though I like to follow the rug rule of having most of the bed on a rug, I simply wasn’t able to in this case.

So, instead, I opted to off-center a 6×9 area rug. And I actually really like it!

An alternate idea is to have a runner alongside one or both sides of the bed.

6. Layer rugs to fit an odd-shaped room

As you might imagine, custom rugs can cost a pretty penny.

But area rugs are pretty essential in bedrooms.

So, if you have an oddly shaped room, layer two (or more!) rugs to cover more ground. A great combo is a large area rug and a faux fur rug.

That’s what we decided to do in our guest bedroom/nursery. There’s a large nook in one area of the room so we put the faux cowhide rug to connect that space to the main area.

7. Break a large odd-shaped room into areas

On that note, if you have a large room that is oddly shaped, you can break it into two or more areas to give it more purpose.

A nook, for example, can become a reading nook or a desk area.

An angled area that juts out could be home to a vanity or sitting area.

You can section these out with rugs, as explained in the previous example. Furniture is also key (obviously) as it gives each area a purpose.

8. Float furniture in nooks

Speaking of nooks, if you decide to place accent chairs (or a crib, in our case) in one, don’t push them to the wall. Instead, float your furniture out so that it blends in more with the rest of the room. (This tip applies to all rooms, not just bedrooms! So many people want to put their couch right up against their wall, and in many cases, this simply is not necessary or recommended!)

9. Add seating where you can

Seating is a great way to make a bedroom feel cozier.

If you want to add seating in a small weird-shaped room, the trickiest part is finding the best place for it. It might be in an angled area that juts out or in a little nook created by a dormer window. You’ll just want to make sure there’s enough walking room around the chair(s).

Say there’s nowhere that makes sense- you can always add a bench at the foot of your bed. If there’s room, this is usually a great thing to do for several reasons:

Of course, if there’s simply no room, then there’s simply no room! You can just cozy up in bed instead!

10. Keep all your walls the same color

If you have an irregular-shaped room with a lot of angles, it’s best to paint it all the same color.

(Note: I love the color white, but our master bedroom was already painted a gray color when we moved in. To save on cost, I decided to work around it using tip number 19 to make sure my colors were cohesive. )

There are two exceptions that I can think of to this rule:

One is if you have a clearly defined nook- this could be painted a different color or wallpapered.

The other is if the biggest wall or the wall behind your bed is flat for the full width of the room. Then you can move on to the next tip!

11. Choose an accent wall carefully

As I stated earlier, if you have your heart set on an accent wall, then ideally it would span the full width of the room.

We did this in our nursery to give a pop of color to an otherwise white room.

We already had a white headboard paired with some cream-colored nightstands. So to give that area some contrast, we decided to keep that wall behind the bed gray while painting the rest of the room white.

12. Embrace the asymmetry

Sometimes an asymmetric room calls for more asymmetry.

One of the biggest examples of this is when it makes sense for a bed to be placed not in the center of a wall.

We had this exact situation come up in our master bedroom since anything larger than a full-sized bed would have to be pushed against one wall to leave enough room for walking space.

When this is the case, just run with it! I’m talking about irregularly shaped mirrors, off-centered artwork, mismatched nightstands, etc.

In our case, embracing the asymmetry meant only having one nightstand! But, hey, I think it works for our odd-shaped bedroom.

13. Get curtains that fit your space (custom or DIY!)

Window treatments can make a huge impact when it comes to interior decorating. That fact remains in odd-shaped bedrooms, too!

Here’s the kicker- sometimes weirdly shaped rooms come with other nuances like no room for curtains or 80’s style glass block windows. And odd-shaped bedrooms can also feature quirks like curved windows or bay windows.

If you’re thinking those are all very specific examples, it’s because we dealt with them.

In our guest bedroom, I was wondering how to put curtains on a curved window. In our master bedroom, I was wondering how to put curtains on a wall of windows and doors without extra space above or around them. Oh, and both rooms had chunks of block windows.

Fortunately, I found this curtain track that can be curved or angled, and it’s very reasonably priced on Amazon. I got it in black for our master bedroom and in white for our nursery/guest bedroom. It’s very easy to install, especially if you watch the video posted in the Q&A section on the Amazon listing.

You can get a blackout curtain from Amazon as well- we used these high-quality linen curtains in the nursery and these cheaper (and not *quite* as effective but still very good) gray curtains in our master bedroom.

But to really upgrade your curtains, if you have a sewing machine, you can turn regular curtains into pinch pleat curtains! All you do is sew pleat tape to rod pocket curtains (it doesn’t work on grommet curtains unless you cut the grommet part off, which is what we did in the nursery), and use pinch pleat hooks. They hook right into the curtain track loops!

So if you’re needing curtain ideas for a curved window, a curved window track is an affordable solution that you can DIY.

14. Fill awkward corners with plants

Oddly shaped rooms are bound to have awkward corners. Plants are the easiest way to disguise or fill awkward spaces!

I got this 6-foot tall faux-olive tree off of Amazon and am very pleased by how it looks for the price!

I also put some real plants in the nursery in the awkward space to the left of the crib. They serve a dual purpose: they balance out the rocker that’s on the other side of the crib and they improve the air quality in our baby’s room!

Side note: if you’re interested, here’s how I styled our nightstand.

15. Create balance with artwork

Speaking of adding balance to a room, adding artwork is a great way to do just that. As I mentioned before, large artwork is a great way to make a statement- even in a small room. But smaller pieces can do that, too!

In our master bedroom, I opted for a smaller frame on the nightstand instead of something over the bed. But balanced our large king bed out by placing this single large piece above the fireplace that sits opposite our bed.

In the nursery, three frames sit above the queen bed, though I think a wide and short single painting would be great there too. You have many options when it comes to artwork, but the general idea is to make sure things feel balanced.

You might even embrace the asymmetry in your bedroom by not centering a piece of art at all or by hanging two pieces of different sizes above your bed or dresser.

16. Center off-centered overhead lighting with a swag hook

Weirdly shaped rooms might lend themselves to the odd placement of an overhead light fixture. If you find this is the case, here’s a simple trick to center an off-centered light.

If your overhead light is hung with a wire (ie. this wouldn’t work with a fan or a flush-mount light), you can pair a swag hook with a ceiling hook to hang your light where you want it.

That’s what we did in our nursery/guest bedroom. The queen bed and nightstands are centered along the wall between the entry door and the side of the room. But for some reason, the light fixture was too far to the right.

So I used a swag hook to hang it in a better spot. I also chose to move it so that it would be centered with the mirror on the adjacent wall, too! Much better!

17.

Utilize wall sconces in small odd-shaped bedrooms

While we’re on the lighting topic, here’s how to choose lighting for a small bedroom. Specifically, how to choose lighting for a small bedroom that is a weird shape. Because chances are, the size and weird shape limit how much furniture you can fit.

If you find yourself in need of more surfaces to place things on, then a wall sconce above your nightstand is a great solution.

Since our master bedroom furniture arrangement only allowed for one nightstand, having a wall sconce allowed us to use basically the full surface of the nightstand. This is the exact wall sconce I ordered on Amazon. It plugs in so there’s no need for hardwiring, though it has a hardwired option, too!

18. Use mirrors to make a small, odd-shaped bedroom seem lighter and bigger

Mirrors bring in so much light to a room and can make a room appear bigger.

So if you have a small, odd-shaped bedroom, a mirror is a no-brainer! We actually have two in our master bedroom.

This circle mirror functions as a vanity mirror above our dresser, while this arched mirror is a full-length mirror that’s useful for a last look before heading out.

19. Measure your room before actually buying items

I can’t emphasize how important measuring is when it comes to oddly shaped bedrooms. You’ll want to make sure that weird angles don’t get in your way, that nooks are large enough, and that walls are long enough for the furniture you plan to use.

Measure once, measure twice, and then measure again! I had to really make sure that our wall was long enough for a king bedframe plus a 25-inch wide nightstand. Fortunately, it was, so I could add the olive tree in to balance out the curtain wall on the other side of the bed.

I had to measure our rug multiple times to make sure it would fit underneath the bed without overlapping with the fireplace hearth.

You’ll never regret measuring before purchasing something.

20. Design your room on an app like Canva beforehand

Besides measuring, this is another saving grace when it comes to designing your space. I used Canva to design our master bedroom redesign and I’m grateful that I did! Screenshotting each item that I wanted to put in the room, then uploading them to Canva and doing a mock placement helped me determine if something would look good.

You can see a lot of pieces that I played around with but didn’t actually use in the mock-up above.

Designing beforehand helps with color placement, finding balance, and making sure there was enough contrast between various items. And that leads me to this final tip for styling an odd-shaped bedroom:

21. Elevate an odd-shaped bedroom with different textiles and layers

This is an important interior decor tip for all rooms, and it especially applies to odd-shaped rooms. Here’s the thing. With an asymmetric room, you may find yourself with more walls to decorate or an inherent lack of balance.

By layering in different textiles, you’ll elevate your bedroom and give it a designer feel. They’ll draw the eye away from any room irregularities and tie textural elements together.

To get a good combination of textiles and sizes, here’s what we did on our master bed:

Our 26-inch chenille throw pillows pair nicely with this 20-inch corduroy throw pillow in front. (This is the pillow insert we use to get the perfect throw pillow “chop!”) We threw in this embroidered cotton lumbar pillow to tie it all together!

You should also incorporate layers on your bed, as this automatically upgrades your room as well and adds some class. This is the quilt we use year-round and this is our duvet cover.

In conclusion…

An irregularly shaped bedroom might be a bit of a conundrum, but I hope these tips give you a fresh perspective on how to decorate and arrange furniture in an odd-shaped room!

And if you have learned any other design tips on this topic, drop them below!

Let your asymmetric bedroom give your room some character! It doesn’t have to be an obstacle, but can be something you embrace, instead!

Happy decorating!

Bedroom layout - an irreplaceable stage of design?

The bedroom is an unusual room in the house. Its arrangement requires a specific approach. This room must certainly be made comfortable, and for this it must not only be properly decorated, but also furnished.

an example of arranging an electric fireplace in a small bedroom

The layout of the bedroom is made taking into account the shape and size of the room. It is also important in this aspect and the number of people sleeping in it, as well as their preferences. Someone is ready to completely trust professionals in this matter, someone is trying to solve the problem on their own, and someone really wants to solve the problem in accordance with the postulates of Feng Shui. Any of these methods has the right to exist, the main thing is to understand that when decorating a bedroom, it is not the concept, not the style, not the compliance with certain teachings and not the showiness that is important, but the maximum convenience of the apartments. And in order to get a comfortable and most convenient interior as a result of all the work, you will have to try very hard. So how do you reach the goal? nine0003

Ergonomics in the sleeping area

Proper planning is the key to successful design. Only by reproducing the basic foundations with the organization of all the required zones and the correct arrangement of furniture, one can hope for a quality rest. By adding a successful decor to the atmosphere, you will surely be able to turn a simply comfortable room into a really cozy space, where all the notes will sound harmonious and harmonious.

bedroom layout with through partition

So where do you start planning your bedroom? Before you go to pick up furniture here, be sure to draw up a plan of the room. What for? Your task is to arrange the objects in the picture so that the minimum allowable distance between them remains. In tiny bedrooms, these distances will naturally have to be reduced, but this does not mean that you have to put up with inconvenience, because even in the most limited space there is a chance to arrange so that there is practically no inconvenience left. And for this, a number of concepts have been developed. nine0003

  1. The side of the bed must be at least 70 cm from the wall or other piece of furniture. Bedside tables are not taken into account in this case. The presence of a free approach to the bed allows you to safely undress and lie down. Provided that the bed is double, the presence of such passages on both sides is welcome. In addition to being comfortable in terms of laying down, it also facilitates the procedure for changing linen and making up. If the proportions of the room do not allow this idea to be implemented in the layout of the bedroom, the bed is placed with its side to the wall, and the free space is left at the foot. Only in this way, the one sleeping near the wall will not have to, if desired, get out of bed, each time to get over the sleeping partner, disturbing his sleep. nine0022
  2. When setting up a dressing table, do it in such a way that it is convenient to use it while sitting on a pouffe or in an armchair. If a hike to a bed or a window passes by him, then make sure that its width is sufficient and that the person walking does not cling to the backs and corners of the furniture.
  3. The ease of use of cabinets is ensured by the unhindered opening of their doors, so the approaches to them must have an additional 30 cm.
  4. The window space should not be crowded with furniture, otherwise it will be very difficult for you to adjust the curtains, open the transoms, and even more so to wash it. nine0022

convenient arrangement of the dressing table and armchairs in the bedroom

But rules are written for that, so that exceptions can sometimes be made from them, isn't it? When planning a bedroom, sometimes they still decide to close the window with a high headboard or a massive dressing table. This is especially justified if the view behind the glass is, to put it mildly, not comme il faut. The window space in this case is formed by rigid curtains with an access area in the window. It will be very convenient to use double-glazed windows, in which the window is located on the side sash. This is all, of course, good, but closing the window, frankly speaking, is not the best solution, and the view from the windows, thank God, is not catastrophically utopian for everyone. nine0003

Untypical bedrooms

Ergonomic arrangement of furniture is possible not only in rectangular or square bedrooms. It is quite comfortable to live in rooms with niches, additional corners and entrance vestibules. Let's take a look at a few common bedroom layouts in a series of typical buildings.

bedroom layout in Art Nouveau style

Here, for example, is a small room with an entrance to it from a side vestibule. Oddly enough, but it is this type of premises that is perfectly zoned. Here you can try to put the bed near the window when planning the bedroom, and place the large wardrobe and chest of drawers near the entrance. For those who do not want to wake up at sunrise, you can move the bed into the darkest corner of the room, then the dressing table and storage system are positioned so that they do not interfere with the penetration of natural light into the room. The tambour can be decorated with a mirror and shelves for cosmetics and certainly additionally illuminated. nine0003

It will be much more difficult to cope with the arrangement of a bedroom with two doors. In this situation, it is necessary to position the bed so that both entrances must be in the field of view of the lying person. The living area will be separated from the entrance by cabinet furniture, highlighting and leaving a modest corridor free. Having tried to arrange the main batch of furniture along the long hay, you can try to adjust the space and give it a more pleasant shape.

Bedroom layout: zoning and style

Bedroom interior can be conceived and allowed in any stylistic direction, but the most popular solutions today are the following options:

  1. Ethnic (Egyptian, Oriental, African, etc. ) .).
  2. Rustic (Country, Provence).
  3. Classic.
  4. Minimalism
  5. Modern solutions.

Whatever style you choose, the design rules will remain the same for everyone, which means that you need to properly zone everything. The type of room layout will be determined by its purpose. It is important: will this be just a room for sleeping or will there be any other household life processes, such as study, work, hobbies. You should consider the location of the window in the bedroom, as well as its architectural characteristics. nine0003

location of the bed close to the wall between two windows

The main functional area of ​​the bedroom is, of course, a sleeping place, but in such interiors women's corners very often appear, with dressing tables, elegant dressing tables or islands of relaxation. Quite often, the layout of the bedroom provides for jobs and the installation of cribs. What does it mean? This means only one thing, that each family chooses the zones for the bedroom individually. However, there is a typical set of items that should be in a comfortable bedroom besides the bed. Listed:

  1. Chest of drawers.
  2. Bedside tables.
  3. Dressing table.
  4. Pouf.
  5. Mini sofa.
  6. Armchair for rest.
  7. Soft bench for the foot of the bed.
  8. Wardrobe.

It is noteworthy that this set of items can be present in a bedroom decorated in any style.

an example of the layout of a narrow and long bedroom0013

No one will argue that the bed is the main item in the bedroom, so it deserves special attention. This element in the decor is always given a central place, and it is chosen with special trepidation. Forging should be beautiful, comfortable and included in size in the layout of the bedroom. All other furnishings, whether they like it or not, will revolve around the bed.

Get the maximum stock size, don't skimp on floor space. It is better to choose a smaller chest of drawers and a more compact wardrobe. Huddling in a cramped bed is not at all comfortable. nine0003

layout of the bedroom with a large bed

The bedside table can be safely attributed to the necessary amenities. Its presence allows you to have a night light at hand. You can leave a book, a laptop, a bottle of water on it. The absence of this item will force you to stack it all on the floor. Outcome. From bedside tables should be abandoned only with an acute shortage of space.

Chests of drawers are convenient for storing linen, and on their shelves you can arrange entire exhibitions of accessories, so without them it will also be sad in the decor. nine0003

A pouffe, like a soft bench, is basically not necessary, but the presence of these items increases the level of comfort. On the bench, for example, it is convenient to fold the bedspread. Often they leave things taken off before going to bed on it.

If the house has a dressing room, then there may not be a closet in the layout of the bedroom .

As for the dressing table and dressing table, if there is a woman in the house, she simply cannot do without it. So their presence is not discussed at all. nine0003

Additional furniture

recreation. It is better to equip a place in a free corner. To equip an oasis, you will need a comfortable chair complemented by a pouf or ottoman, as well as a floor lamp and a small table. This bedroom layout solution will appeal to those who like to read or knit while sitting in a relaxed atmosphere. nine0003

bedroom layout with built-in cabinet furniture to optimize usable space

Provided that the bedroom is used for dressing, you will need a design such as the original psiché mirror. It is incredibly convenient to use because it will allow you to see yourself in full growth. Also, many like its mobility. This item is not difficult to move within the room.

Bedrooms of modern buildings are often "pleasant" with an irregular shape. They can be very long and too narrow. In this case, you need not only to correctly place the furniture, but also try to correct the proportionality of the space with its help. If you know some secrets, then this will be quite simple. nine0003

Long furniture should not be installed along the same elongated walls. It is much more correct to hide short ones behind it. In this case, the total length of the room will be divided into smaller sections with clear functional zoning.

layout of a bedroom with a separate bathroom

A good move in the layout of the bedroom would be the decision to furnish the end walls with shelving and cabinets with mezzanines resting directly on the ceiling. This will not only reduce the length of the room at the visual level, but also at the physical level, since the structures will actually occupy a certain part of it. nine0003

Visual techniques of space correction, which are based on the art of creating visual illusions, should not be overlooked. A competent combination of design moves in the design and furnishings is always a guarantee of obtaining an excellent bedroom layout.

Putting a bed0003

If your bedroom is quite spacious, then the bed in it can be placed as a headboard against any of the walls, of course, if there are no window or door openings in it. It is advisable to do this so that the bed is in the center of the room. Thus, you will observe the beauty of symmetry and convenience. One and a half and single beds are somewhat easier to place in the bedroom. It is quite enough for them to provide free access to only one of the sidewalls.

In the layout of a narrow bedroom, it is rational to place the bed across the room. If there is a chance to make the bed from the entrance not everything is in full view - use it. This will make the atmosphere of the room especially intimate. nine0003

Providing comfort

If your closet does not have glass or mirrored doors, then it should be sent to a dark corner. So he will not draw attention to himself.

In general, if possible, the bedroom should be equipped with a built-in wardrobe. If you make it the width of a short wall, then it will not look like some kind of bulky appendage.

Dressing table in the layout of the bedroom is the place near the window. It must be well lit. If this piece of furniture will be used by a left-hander, then you need to make sure that the light falls on it from the right. nine0003

If you use the room for dressing, and taking things out of the closet and putting them on, you go to examine yourself to a separate mirror, then there should be a free passage between these items.

Small bedroom

Unfortunately, sometimes it is not always possible to allocate a spacious room for bedroom equipment. Do not despair, in small areas it is also quite possible to create a very comfortable environment. Small rooms can also be cozy, the main thing is to choose the right furniture for them and the lack of space will become completely invisible. You will feel as if in a cozy nest, the atmosphere is so warm and calm in them. nine0003

The layout of the interior of a small bedroom has some restrictive features, which are born from a lack of space.

small bedroom layout example

Quality planning secrets:


  • Avoid dark wallpapers. Light colors will quickly add visual space to the room.
  • It is better to put a horizontal drawing on the walls.
  • Fill the room with mirrors. It is good if a large mirror surface appears in front of the window. This will significantly expand the boundaries of the bedroom. nine0022
  • Do not overload the atmosphere with extra chairs, shelves, tables.
  • Pictures in massive frames steal space, so they also have no place in this decor.
  • In a small bedroom, the window is curtained with Japanese curtains or light fabrics with fine patterns.
  • The wardrobe should definitely be made built-in. This will also benefit the organized space.

bed, bedside tables and chair are the only pieces of furniture in a small bedroom

Selection of furniture when planning a bedroom is the most important stage. All items that appear in the room should be comfortable and practical. In a small bedroom, a chest of drawers and a bed without legs will be wonderfully perceived. Such furniture models do not clutter up the area. The desire to put a bigger bed in the bedroom is quite justified and understandable, but in this case it is worth considering that a bed of a more modest size can give additional decor options. With this approach, you will surely be able to find a place for a nightstand or dressing table. If your bedroom is not just small, but also narrow, then it makes sense to try to put a bed in it a little non-standard, for example, diagonally. With this step, you immediately kill two birds with one stone: you provide the opportunity to comfortably approach the sleeping place and adjust the space, effortlessly changing its geometry. nine0003

Trying to find a place where it would be convenient to store things when planning a small bedroom will not be an easy task. In this regard, it is necessary to consider not only horizontal areas, but also vertical surfaces, on which hinged structures such as shelves at the head or compact cabinets on the wall may well appear.

The idea of ​​placing the bed on a podium with drawers hidden inside will allow you to do without a chest of drawers or nightstands.

Saving space

When it comes to the ergonomic use of space, there is always a need to sacrifice some comfort. In the case of a bedroom, it is quite painless to abandon the bedside tables and replace them with wall-mounted shelves. Such a technique will “facilitate” the interior quite well.

With the same success, instead of a coffee table, you can install a shelf for cosmetics under the mirror, as well as look for a small pouffe that would move under it. nine0003

By planning your bedroom from the ground up with platform beds with lifting mechanism or internal drawers, you get a chance to get rid of a bulky closet. A pouffe with an inner drawer under a hinged lid will also come in handy. It can also store the little things you need in everyday life. Instead of an armchair, near a small dressing table, it is rational to put a comfortable pouffe that will not slide out from under the table unnecessarily.

closet in bedroom layout

If you can't imagine your bedroom without a closet, then don't go in cycles in bulky models of three-leaf wardrobes, stop at such an elegant option as a closet. The design features of its doors do not require additional space, so the approach to them can be as narrow as possible. nine0003

Conclusion

The layout of the bedroom is very important and this is not an unfounded statement, because this room is really responsible for your emotional state, peace of mind and quality of rest, and therefore for your performance and mood for every coming day. Put in just a little effort and enjoy a comfortable environment.
