Bed Placement

8 years ago

I'm about to give our bedroom a complete makeover and am wondering whether to re-orient the bed and try it under the window as I've seen this on some photos. What are the pros and cons?

Hi,

Depends on which way the window faces. A south or south east facing window will get a lot of sunlight in the mornings, which can be fantastic at waking you up and getting you into a good mood. It's also great in the summer as you can crack a window open on a hot night to get some airflow.

However, some windows can be draughty and there's nothing worse than trying to fall asleep in the winter with an icy blast blowing in over your face!

In short: Consider the direction of the window and how well sealed it is. Also is the window central in the room or is it off to one side?

Hope this helps.

Regards

I've checked and our window is west,south west, so I'm a bit baffled d. I like your reasoning though. Thanks

I don't know if your room is big enough for this, but you'd could angle the bed from a corner and build out the wall behind it so it sits flat up against the new wall.

It doesn't look bad if it's dressed well it just doesn't flow as well as if it was centred with a bedside table either side. Symmetry tends to help a room flow

hi there. bed placement would depend on the various factors, for instance the size of the bed, size of the bed in relation to the room, size and placement of windows... is it not possible to position it on the wall with the door? are you able to provide pictures of the actual space and bed, or a sketch/ plan view at least?

I think you need a builder or engineer to confirm if the wall where you have placed the fridge is indeed structural. Given where it is in the building I think it is unlikely it is structural- I suspect it is a brick build partition and because if feels solid you have assumed it has to stay. If it can come out or at least be reduced in size I would have a layout as below which gives you space now but can easily be partitioned into a 3 bed later.

Is your radiator under the window? If so you may block heat. Also consider window treatment, will it allow curtains to drape properly etc. Also the aesthetics, window height, headboard height, can you put bedside tables there (are there also sockets)

That's plenty to think about. the sockets would not be too bad, or the bedside tables; but yes there is the radiator and I would have to have a low headboard. I was thinking Roman Blinds for the windows though.

This is all very helpful Guys.
