Choosing the right size bed for your room space

Selecting the right bed size to fit into a bedroom can sometimes be a challenge, especially if you are tight on space or if the room has an unusual layout.

Start by considering the room in terms of the position of the window, door and any other fixed storage which may restrict the layout. Identify the best location for the bed such as against a wall or in an alternative position if you have limited wall space.

Measure the room by width, length, and height so that you can figure out which bed size will be appropriate, without compromising on movement around the bed and so that it will fit suitably within the room, without overwhelming the space.

Choose a bed size which will comfortably fit the number of people who will use it. Common bed sizes are single, double, king size or queen size. If you are not sure as to which bed size will work best, you can use masking tape to mark out the shape on the floor. This can help you to envisage the layout in your mind more easily.

Other bedroom layout options to consider

If storage is a concern, then choose a bed with built-in-storage or select baskets to make an under-the-bed feature. The space under the bed is useful and will help to maximise the space in the room. It also helps to reduce the need for extra furniture which could clutter the room.

Once you have chosen a place for the bed, consider the furniture arrangement around it. The flow of the room is equally important, so think about placing wardrobes and dressers against walls for easy movement.

Finally, positioning mirrors strategically gives the illusion that the room is larger, especially if placed adjacent to a window or the bed. They also help to reflect the light around the room which helps the space to feel brighter.
