Bed Placement in Small Bedroom
Hello! Looking for a little advice. I just bought my first condo. It's got a small bedroom and I would like to use the space as efficiently as possible, starting with the placement of the bed. Right now, the bed is on the floor, but I'm in the process of looking for a frame/headboard. Should I keep the bed where it is or move it under the window? Should I put the dresser in its place or up against the angled wall where the large picture frame is? Any and all advice appreciated.

Comments (4)What about losing the drawers & putting a small wardrobe there. You could get a small wardrobe with a couple of drawers underneath. Is this for a child's bedroom or an adult ? As if so you could get the small wardrobe with 2 rails inside which will fit smaller children's clothes. Or a bed with drawers at the bottom ? If you can just have folded clothes you could buy an antique armroire which are generally too slim to have coat hangers in horizontally....See MoreSmall bedroom sloped ceiling dilemma
Comments (17)Sometimes, especially with smaller rooms it's better to show more floor space. Don't over crowd the room. I would personally put a single bed under it going in the same direction with the foot under the lowest point of the eaves to give an even better illusion of space. You or the estate agent showing new buyers round can point out that a double bed easily fits still! Add a bedside table, storage such as a small wardrobe is best to show off instead of bed size. In fact, house builders quite often buy small furniture to put in the show houses that make the rooms look larger! I agree it's a small double, but it's a really big single! So make it look as spacious as possible! You can also combine the bed and storage buy putting a cabin bed under the eaves!...See MoreRecessed light placement in bedroom
Comments (7)The best lighting for bedrooms comes from using wall scones positioned on at least two opposite walls. This will give you the cosy, warm feel you are looking for. The scones should be placed at about 220 cm height. In this case I would locate two on both sides of the media unit, and one or two on the side of the bed. Keep the central ceiling light on a separate switch and use it only when you need lots of bright light. use a ceiling lamp and not a pendant. Scone.

Comments (11)So a dormer loft conversion costs the same as a side extension? It sounds like you'll be getting more space for the side extension for the same amount of money then. Have you had a look at other bungalows down your road or area that have had extensions vs no extensions and see what they have sold for, then you can see if it's worth it but who knows what the market will be like in a couple of years time. In terms of appealing to more when selling, people probably would prefer bedrooms upstairs but if bedrooms are larger and downstairs is huge it will be more attractive to buyers ( I think ) especially if there is a large family. Lots of new builds have a bedroom downstairs so it's not unusual plus families considering a bungalow won't be looking for the norm in terms of layout so 2 bedrooms downstairs is fine. You can also ask your estate agent that sold you the bungalow, get their thoughts on what is attractive to buyers, I'm sure they'll be helpful in case you'll use them in the future :-)....See More

6 years agoBed under the window. Buy a simple headboard with a bedframe.
A hat shelf with coat hooks underneath near the front door will make it easy to keep odd shaped hats in order.
The painted box will look best if hung in a room with similar style artwork. It may need some touch ups. Look at how collectible action figures are displayed professionally - well lit and well spaced.
