Bedrooms are highly personal rooms. For adults, they often represent a quiet retreat from the stresses of everyday living. For children, bedrooms become a safe place where they can store their possessions and play without interruption. While there are some general rules that should be followed, the important thing to keep in mind is to arrange bedroom furniture so that space and function are maximized without sacrificing style and design. Take a look below to learn how to arrange furniture in a bedroom.
Choose the location for the bed. The bed is usually the largest bedroom furniture and should be placed first. In large bedrooms, place the bed in a corner for a dramatic and romantic look. In medium to small bedrooms, place it against a wall with the headboard touching the wall. Make sure you can easily walk around the bed.
Balance the room. Place a substantial piece of furniture opposite the bed, if you can, to balance out the room. This could be a long dresser, vanity or even a lounge. If the room is small, the bed should be the only large item. In that case, leave the wall opposite the bed free of any furniture.
Place a nightstand on either side of the bed. This is a common look for good reasons: Not only are the nightstands functional, but they also extend the look of the bed and fill in the space on the surrounding walls.
Choose a place for the dresser. A tall dresser looks nice in a corner, and a low dresser functions very well under a window. Again, if you have a small room, consider putting the dresser in the closet or forgoing a dresser entirely in favor of a closet system.
Arrange your furniture for optimum use. For example, if you are going to be watching TV from the bed, you will need to arrange the bed to face the television. If you read in bed, you will need to make sure you have a lamp on a nightstand next to the bed.
Think about comfort. Don't put the bed under a window, as the heat and cold from the window may make it difficult to sleep.
