Hi Darryl, It is an awkward room certainly but not impossible. I would place the bed against the wall opposite the recessed niche and then build shelves over and wardrobes either sie of it to link the space through and give you lots of storage. Put a large mirror on the wall next to the door to reflect light and keep the wall colours light. Leave a space between the end of the wardrobe and the balcony end to allow the light in and add plants inside and out which will help extend the feeling of space.

On the opposite wall recess I would consider either a reflective surface or maybe something fun with an outdoors theme or large mural that gives you a feeling of space to look at. Depends on your taste really. You could add a shelf of the same depth here if you need an additional space to put things or leave it open to make it feel more spacious to walk past.

Hope that helps.

@minnie101 and @JMW Interiors, Thanks for the quick responses. The bed unfortunately won't fit in in recess wall (the recess is 165cm wide, my bed is 170cm wide).

I like both your ideas of i) considering an L-shaped wardrobe, and ii) wardrobes at either sides of my bed (i.e. a wall of storage space), is this is the correct understanding of your idea JMW Interiors.

Sorry now I've expanded the plan I can see the recess measurement.. I would look at the wardrobes where I said and just have the bed opposite the alcove. You could add a large mirror or mirror tiles within the alcove to make the room feel wider and add a bit of interest. Or add shelves and prop art etc (could still keep the mirror behind). If possible within the wardrobe on the long wall I'd include a chest of drawers. If you like assymetrical design you could lose the bedside table by the window and add a small chair. I'd also buy/paint the wardrobe in the wall colour so they fade into the walls. I don't know what the bed is like but make it a feature with cushions,throws, headboard etc

Are you renting or is the flat yours? If it's yours, I'd build a partition wall at about 2.2m from the entry door and have that space organised as a walk in wardrobe. Obviously, the remaining room would make a cosy, smallish bedroom, but with your clothes out the way, all you need are the bed and bedside tables - plenty left for that!

Good luck!

Sorry Darryl, I included an image earlier that doesn't seem to have transfered across. Here it is again. Hope that makes the idea clearer.
