8 Bedroom Layout Ideas

You’d think that bedroom layouts would be easy to work out. You choose the simplest wall for the bed, flank it with a few nightstands, maybe add a dresser or maybe a little sofa, and you're done. But it isn't one size fits all, and bedroom layouts got to cater to space they're in. If your room is feeling cavernous instead of cozy, if you're blocking a seriously good view with bulky furniture, or if regardless of how hard you are trying, you cannot make your bedroom layout feel coherent, we've myriad easy solutions to form your space feel put together and layered.


For Long and Narrow Bedroom

If your bedroom is long and narrow, chances are high that there's plenty of empty spaces at the foot of your bed, which may make it, feel cold and empty instead of cozy. Rather than having unused floor space, try adding a bench, daybed, or small sofa at the foot of your bed to offer the space layers and add functionality. You'll bring back the intimate feeling in no time.


For Room with a View

A large bedroom with a stunning view is often tricky to furnish without blocking the valuable vistas. If you would like to go away your window walls bare, try condensing your furniture to at least one side of the space. Here, an extra-long headboard with built-in storage goes extended thanks to avoiding making the space feels bare.

For Sterile Bedroom

Bedrooms can feel a touch cold sometimes, especially if you do not have space for an upholstered chair or bench. The multiple storage pieces that typically enter a bedroom all have similar square edges and hard surfaces. To interrupt this up, use a floor plant or a tree to form a space that feels more organic and less sterile. Art and soft furnishings can help, too.

For Extra Large Bedroom

Do you have an extra-large bedroom that appears awkward and empty regardless of how you layout your furniture? Try floating your bed within the middle of the space. Yes, it's going to feel counterintuitive, but with a storage piece or table (built-in or not), you'll make space for extra wall storage—like for a wall-to-wall closet, as an example.


For Awkwardly Empty Corner

This could be the oldest decree the playbook, but if you've got a clumsy empty corner in your bedroom, fill it with a little reading nook. A chair, side table, and a lamp can add just the proper layer of sophistication to an area without overwhelming it—and it also breaks up the hard lines of storage furniture. Other great options include a bench or a roof rack.


For Bare Window

Is your window looking sad and bare? Try adding a little narrow bench alongside a couple of pillows. Suddenly, an unused space becomes a reading area or an area to take a seat during the day that's not your bed. You’ll even add a side table to form it feels more sort of a small daybed.


For Natural Light Sources

Any time you set something ahead of a window, your natural lighting takes successful. If you've got other natural light sources, you'll be ready to flee with it. But if you want to, adding more sources of lightning—overhead, tabletop, and floor lamps—can help keep your space bright. You’ll also choose a no headboard setup or a low-profile bed frame to reduce the loss of sunshine.


For Clutter idea

You want your bedroom to desire you and have some personal effects; without it, an area can look touch to American Psycho. But you don’t want more than frames, tchotchkes, and furniture either. Keep your furnishings meaningful but minimal—and attempt to stay top of clutter. Return items to their proper spaces and designate a drop zone—a bench, a chair—for clothing or items that don’t get put away immediately. This homeowner is halfway there—the bench may be a great temporary spot for clothing and accessories, but all of these pillows and mirrors are a touch distracting.


Besides, there’s some wacky but true stat that says we spend about one-third of our lives in bed. The majority of that point is spent sleeping, but there could also be a touch little bit of active awake time in there, streaming Netflix or otherwise hanging out. And regardless of the activity, your surroundings are important. Thereupon in mind, make 2021 the year that you simply actually get your act together—at least in terms of bedroom design. Stop making these bedroom design mistakes and you’ll be that much happier about your sleep space.
