While every room in your home should reflect your personal style, the design of your bedroom should speak to you on a personal level. The way you arrange your furniture, style your space and decorate your room is so important because the bedroom is the first thing you see when you wake up every morning, and a poorly laid out space can damage your mood.
Our customers often ask us, ‘what is the best layout for a bedroom?’ and we are answering this question today.
Keep reading for our advice on choosing the best layout for your bedroom.
The Bed
Since the bed is the largest piece of furniture in your room, it should be placed first when you are considering the layout of your bedroom. To achieve a relaxing ambiance, we suggest that you place the bed so that the foot is closer to your doorway than the head of the bed. If you are furnishing a larger room, place the bed in the corner of the room to make best use of your available floor space while creating a dramatic, romantic look.
If the space you are furnishing is small, then place the bed against the wall opposite the door to achieve a similar effect. But make sure that you can easily walk around the bed and open dresser drawers, so your bedroom remains functional. If you find that you cannot move comfortably around your space or that your room looks uneven, balance the room by placing a substantial piece of furniture opposite the bed.
The Nightstand
You need a nightstand in your bedroom. Not only is the nightstand functional, but it also fills space on walls surrounding the bed and extends the look of the bed while anchoring it to the wall. When we are asked what is the best layout for a bedroom nightstand? We always tell our customers to place it at the side of the bed, leaving two or three inches between the items to prevent anything from being knocked off the nightstand during the night.
The Dresser
Use the height of your room to your advantage, and choose a tall dresser for your space if you have tall ceilings. If your room has a large window, then choose a low dresser and place it under the window to make use of this space. If you have a smaller room, then forgo the dresser in favor of investing in a closet organization system that can help you stay organized and save space in the room.
Layout
If you are still asking the question, ‘what is the best layout for a bedroom?’ Then you need to think about how you use your bedroom. If you watch your TV in the bedroom, you’ll need to arrange the space so you can comfortably see the TV from your bed. If you read, you’ll need to have a lamp on your nightstand. If you use your bedroom as a dressing room, you’ll need to have easy access to your dresser and enough space to get dressed comfortably.
