bedroom layout help

9 months ago

Hi everyone, hopefully someone will be able to help me... I'm struggling with the layout of my bedroom. It's being refurbished now and I have to think about plug sockets etc and wall lights for bed. We have a super king mattress (getting divan and headboard made) but don't know where to put it. I think the obvious location is from the chimney breast? As the room is a good size of places anywhere else it looks like it's cramped in... also want to put a sofa in there etc. I've removed built in wardrobes and want a free standing but then need to plan all furniture too!

I like the idea of headboard against the chimney breast; with those two windows you have a choice of views when sitting up in bed. 😃

There isn't a better option than the bed in front of the chimney. But this gives you an issue of what to do for nightstands. You will need something deep and substantial. I have attached a rough idea of where furniture could go.

One plan - thank you thank you thank you... I have been at work all day earning £ to pay for this little lot and have only just seen your plans and advice. Your quick(??) sketch up shows exactly what I was thinking but couldn't visualise. It looks great. What width would you advise is the minimum for the walk in to allow movement space ? It has even prompted the man of the house to get his tape measure out which is good ! This would definitely give us the most storage space of all our options. So now there are 3 options To weigh up. 1. Walk in - Will throw current symmetry of room, but will definitely give the most hidden storage space (perfect as we also need linen and towel storage for the house within this room somewhere). Assuming cost will be studded wall, plastering plus internal fittings. 2. Alcove wardrobes - Will maintain symmetry of the room, will give the least storage of all options. Probably the most expensive option as will require bespoke alcoves with internal fittings. May install fireplace/ dressing table to chimney breast. 3. Wardrobe bank along wall opposite chimney. This would maintain symmetry of alcoves. I think storage would probably be somewhere between the other 2 options. Maybe more potential to get wardrobe company in to have a look. I like the look of the handle less ones shown above. Would leave option of bed on wall either as you come into the room or on the chimney breast. Luciana - thanks for your measurements - really helpful. I will add them onto our plan to check how the space works. I'm in Bristol - which Italian company did you use ? Those fittings are really lovely. I'm not sure where else to source just the interior bits. All - we have the most fabulous carpenter - retired guy who doesn't charge the earth and also just does a few jobs to keep himself out of his wife's hair ! Perfect - he's been one of the finds of our job - a real gem. Really appreciate all the advice - I'm going over to see how monk0104 is getting on with her kitchen plan. What fun this is !!

I agree with man about the house about the wardrobes. They look very heavy for the room and will give you more flexibility. You have plenty of walls to have wardrobes on. You have a long room so there are plenty of options. If you want me to sketch up your options please email me.

Don’t have dimensions but the en suite looks larger than it needs to be. I would move the wall between bedroom and en suite back a few feet then you could have wardrobe storage space along the bedroom side of the new stud wall. As building a new stud wall you could have a pocket door and I would put the bed and bedside tables as in the diagram above facing the window. In the ensuite I would make the shower as wide as possible stretching between the new stud wall and the exterior window wall and put the toilet and basin side-by-side along the window wall

I’m not too sure which way right is on this photo but for storage, have you considered a wardrobe? It doesn’t have to be fitted but if it was it would really maximise the storage space. Since the room isn’t massive stick with white or other light colours. I would recommend a full size wardrobe not really low kids ones because soon their clothes won’t fit in it! The low draws could make a really cool seating area if you add some cushions. To display their items a shelf could work well anywhere in the room. Make sure any storage works hard and the potential wardrobe has space for all their clothing. Hope this helps!

Oh wow I love the night stand ideas... the room is a bit of a building sight at the moment and I've tried to measure things out as best as I can... however I don't think there's enough room to put a wardrobe in the corner at end of bed. Think it might be a bit of a squeeze. I think I was a bit greedy buying as super king bed!!
