The arrangement of furniture in a bedroom depends on a few things, such as space, the shape of the room and the personal preferences of the room’s occupant. Though, there are a few basic steps that can be followed to maximise space and create a functional bedroom environment. Here’s a few steps to follow that will help in the appropriate arrangement of bedroom furniture:

Bed location

The bed is the first piece of bedroom furniture that should be considered when arranging a bedroom. This is because it is usually the largest piece of furniture. Choose the location of your bed before planning where other furniture should go. The biggest mistake in the placement of a bed is situating it beneath a window. Evening drafts and bright and early sunshine could make this position uncomfortable.

Balance

Balancing your bedroom furniture is a relatively easy task. All you need to do to create a balanced room is to position a dresser, or large piece of furniture on the opposite side of the room to the bed. Another popular technique that will assist in balancing of the room is placing a nightstand on either side of the bed.

Minimalism is key

Keep it simple. Too much furniture can make a room seem cluttered, regardless of the size. There are two tips for a minimalistic room: use the furniture you need and use the furniture that you have. Excess furniture causes clutter and usually ends up being a dumping ground for books, papers and other bits and bobs.
