Arranging Your Bedroom Furniture

Executive summary about small bedrooms by Katharine Kaye McMillan and Patricia Hart McMillan

Bedroom furniture is traditionally arranged according to a few general rules. Traditionally, folks tend to place a double, queen-sized bed against the center of the wall opposite the main door to the room. If the dimensions of your room prevent you from positioning your bed on the wall across from the door, other possible choices depend on which walls are long enough to accommodate the bed. Diagonal placement works well when you have the space.

Do not place a bed under a window, if the window will frequently be open. Positioning a bed between two windows, however, works well.

Do not place the bed where it obstructs a door into the room.

Consider nontraditional furniture arrangements if doing so will free up space in a more interesting way.

Whether you're decorating a master bedroom, a guest room, or a room for children, the following sections provide you with the tips you need.

1. Master bedrooms

a. Make the bedroom look larger by eliminating clutter.

b. If you can, push a chest of drawers into a walk-in closet to free up floor space.

c. Keep the bed visually low. Light colored furniture, walls, floors, window treatments, and bedding make a room seem bigger.

d. Add bedside tables that are as big as space will allow. If you read in bed, you'll find these tables helpful.

e. Try to make room for at least one comfortable chair. Consider carpeting all bedroom floors to reduce noise in the room.

2. Teen bedrooms

Extra seating and small tables provide space for visitors.

3. Children's bedrooms

1. Keep cribs away from windows and window blind cords.
2. Make sure cribs and bunk beds meet federal safety standards.
3. Eliminate dangling cords on window blinds.
4. Choose bunk beds with sturdy ladders, handrails, and safety rails.

e. A trundle bed, which neatly stores a second bed beneath a regular one, is the ideal solution for children's rooms.

4. Guest bedrooms

a. You can furnish the guest room with a marvelous bed and all the necessary furnishings and forget about it.

2. Buy a handsome, space-saving daybed that fits smartly against the wall and out of the way.
3. Make sure that your guest has plenty of closet space.
