small bedroom layout???

9 years ago

I need your advice to design this small bedroom. it has a very big 180cm window(which is not in the centre) and radiator underneath of same width. it has a shallow recess of 37cm where i am thinking to fit a slim ikea pax wardobe. or should i put the bed in the recess and have a corner wardrobe by the right hand side of the window. I really want a traditional bedroom design with a luxurious feel to it but cant workout how to place all those elements in without making it crowded. storage is very important because two of us have loads of stuff. so please give your ideas to make this room beautiful. Thanks

I would lay it out like this with a full depth wardrobe with sliding doors, chest of drawers or dressing table at the foot of the bed, and floating bedside shelves to save space. I'd have a blind rather than curtains to save floor space.

My bedroom is more or less exactly same size. Layout works like this:

- bed on longest wall but offset to be nearer window to give room for wardrobe on wall (with door)
- another wardrobe and dresser opposite bed.
- I'd recommend choosing wardrobes with sliding doors

Photos of my room attached. My bed is king size and room dimensions are same as yours.

Best of luck

How about putting the bed in the middle of the room. Use the chest as a side table as you are short for space. Put the chest on the side of the window and keep the cupboard where it is. I think that would help with space. Then you can get rid of that small round table. Put a lamp on the chest Hope that helps Cigal Kaplan Interiors

Its a good idea but not easy to implement as the bathroom splits the two bedrooms. If you incorporate the bathroom into bedroom three then you will still have to move the bathroom into bedroom four. I would do lots of research first on the price differences in your area between three and four bedroom houses. Maybe also speak to an estate agent first regarding value. Bedroom four would make a lovely big bathroom and you could move the bathroom wall to the right to make bedroom three even bigger.

Hi Mary, have a look on my website in the small spaces project. You will see a solution to a very similar space that I designed recently. The idea was developed to match the specific needs of the client then completed by a local carpenter. A 3D model drawing of your space would not be expensive and, if you supplied the measurements and some photos as well as details of your storage requirements, could be done without a home visit. You could then hire a local carpenter to carry out the work for you. If you want any additional information just message me.

adding to Jens idea. 30 cm storage behind bed. as well. floor to ceiling or half way up wall so lamps could go on. cupboards at side ?

storage storage storage !!! under , behind...at the side...
and a blind is a good idea. less visual ' clutter' use texture on the bed.

I like the idea of floating side tables and underbed drawers but don't want the cupboards around my head. there is only 100cm between bed (foot end) and wall so not sure how the chest of drawers will fit in but would like to have one and a mirror on top.

I agree with Jens ideas. I would however go for mirrored wardrobe doors which will make the space feel much bigger. It might be easier to access a storage bed such as this? Something on legs would be ideal. I'd just swap winter and summer clothes twice a year. My calculations might be wrong (!) but depending on bed size I think you should have either 4ft or 4'3 at the end of the bed so you could fit a slim chest of drawers? If you go for something similar to the wall colour it won't visually fill the space

Thanks minnie I like the storage idea it ll be more accessible than drawers. actually I like the bed any idea where should I look for it? I was looking for those white french style wooden beds but they are way beyond my budget at the moment. I like colour and low feet side will save a little bit of space as well.

Hi Mary

One clever way to make more space and optimise daylight is to fit window blinds. I would recommend our award winning BlocOut™ blinds in the bedroom, not only do they provide unrivaled levels of darkness for sleep but they also create a very neat and clean aesthetic for a de-cluttered window and floor area. See below...

I am of different opinion to others l would put bed in recess opposite the window for max light, wardrobe on the right keeps the flow around your bed x
