Bedroom layouts

It is common to place the bed in the mid-point against the wall and decorate either side of the bed with stylish nightstands. This layout is also the most functional one.

It will hurt your privacy. Direct exposure to natural light since early morning could also create disturbance.

In the winter months, this will be the coldest part of the room. Instead, use this space to design a tiny seating area. If your windows offer you an excellent view of the surrounding, you will be able to spend some pleasure filled time here in the morning.

In a tiny room or in a room with a single bed, you can push the bed in one corner and free up some space in the room. Small homes often have the dressing rooms co-habiting the bedroom space. Buy built in wardrobes to avoid any kind of clutter in such cases.
