Have you ever had a bedroom to where there was only one way you could arrange it because it was so small or oddly shaped? I had both dilemmas in one year and since those days have made a conscious choice never to put myself in that position again. I can’t even count how many times I stubbed toes on my bed, or bruised my leg trying to squeeze between the wall and the bed to make it or to simply escape out of the room. The room was no way any shape or form a place I wanted to spend in quality time. Sometimes, that the card we are thrown and there is not much we can do about it but make it work but when you do have room to arrange a bedroom suite the way you like, here are some tips to help you get the most of your space. If you have a spacious room and want to give it a dramatic look you can angle out your focal piece in a corner. If your room has a lot of windows or extra doors, this is a good way to get around blocking off summer air flow from the windows as well as provide a central focus when arranging other pieces around it. Most bedrooms focal point is the bed itself unless your room comes with a fireplace, then that would be your focal point in which you would arrange your bedroom around.
Whatever the focal point is of the bedroom, use area rugs and/or side tables as accents. If your bed is the focal point, placing an area rug at the foot of the bed and two side tables gives the area a cozy comfortable aire. Also, if the bed is the focal point, make sure it pops out at the eye. You can do this by positioning a trunk or a sitting bench at the foot of the bed and by having large accent pillows. If bedroom size allots, you can balance a bed off by adding a seating area opposite of where the bed lies. Make sure to follow the rule of thumbs mentioned in “Arranging Living Room Furniture Tips” on spacing and table availability. And by all means make sure there is ample room to move freely around the bed and other furniture in your bedroom. My toes can attest to the value in that tip!

My bedroom is pretty small so I don't get a lot of chances to vary furniture placement. There's only enough room in there for my bed and dresser with a path around the bed. It makes it tough to be creative.
ReplyDeleteWe just bought an old farm house and the rooms are pretty big. The master bedroom had a raised area where the bed sits. We almost took it out, but decided we'd put the bed up and see what it looked like. Danged if we didn't like it, so we left it as is. It's definitely the focal point.
ReplyDeleteI really want that bed seat! We don't have a lot of extra room in the our bedroom but this would fit nicely at the end of the bed and give us someplace to sit when getting dressed. It's on order and I'm waiting for delivery. I'm so glad I happened to find this site. I've learned a lot about taking care of wood furniture and I loved all of the kitchen tips. I also have a wish list for future replacements.
ReplyDeleteI bought a bed seat for my daughters room. She wanted somewhere to sit while getting dressed but didn't want to clutter up her room with an easy chair. She loves it and I love making her happy!
ReplyDeleteI'd love to have a fireplace in our bedroom. It's big enough for sure. We've talked about it but never really looked into it. It might be just the thing to do now that the warmer weather is here. It might be installed and ready to use by fall. What a great idea.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the tips. Some of our rooms are small whereas others are huge! I guess that comes with buying an old home. We love it here and will take your tips to heart. Thank you!
