Bed position?!

10 years ago
Hi there,

We have just moved into a flat with an awkward shaped master bedroom and are struggling where to put the bed! The current position leaves very limited space for a bedside shelf and lamp.

Do you think we should extend the chimney breast on the left, remove the shelves and put the bed against that side of the room instead of the current position?

We don't need the shelf space as we have plenty of storage in the built in wardrobes which are well made so we don't want to remove these.

Any ideas gratefully received, thank you. Sarah.

    Thanks Kayleigh. The hall is very narrow as its an old property converted into flats so it would be really tight with the door opening into the hall.

    I had something similar in my old house with the chimney breast and hung curtains among the wall so you couldn't see the shelves but I never lost any storage

    Also seen this in a house I was looking at while back, gives you somewhere for a lamp with corner shelf,, or maybe you could hang the lamps from above so you didn't need the shelf

    Thanks Kerry. I think we will leave the bed where it is and go for small floating shelves either side with wall lamps.

    A bedroom always seems wrong to me if someone has to walk all the way around the bed to get into it. I would back the bed on to the bookcase forgoing a bit of storage there and using those shelves for lamp placement and bedside storage on that side, then if you can fit a small bedside table on the other side or failing that a small shelf. My 2 cents :)

    Thanks Jobax. I've been looking at this pic which I think is similar to what you're suggesting.

    What if you made the bedroom door into a sliding door?
