Please help! Which bedroom layout looks best?
BedroomThis is exactly the layout I wanted to see too!
This would be my choice. I don’t like it when the side of the bed is up against the wall. The wall right away looks dirty and if you aren’t sleeping alone, then you interrupt your sleep partner every time you get out of bed.
I always like my bed in the corner for sitting in the corner with pillows to read and I prefer empty space in the middle Of the floor because that’s where I put all my clothes ;)
So #1 is definitely my choice. Its such an obvious choice to me it’s weird that it’s not for everyone. Im not a designer it’s just that my preference is that strong that i cant see how anyone else wouldn’t choose the same lol
I like the bed in the corner too. Some people say it's childish but it's just really comfortable for me. However, I would go with option 3 and push the desk closer to the window wall so it's not right next to the door.
Wrong place for clothes, inviting clutter and piles. Fold it over a chair or put away, takes a couple sec. Have you ever tripped over your clothes? Hope you don’t have an animal, they can pee right on them😄
The clothes spot was a joke all though not gonna lie they sometimes end up there. Hope if you have animals they are trained not to pee in the house
Agree. I think changing the sheets (one of my least favorite household chores) is much easier if the bed is not pushed up against the wall.
THIS IS THE ONE!
This is the best way in my opinion. And the bed is easily accessible.
Maybe still get rid of the armchair or try a smaller bed side table.
SO much easier to make the bed in this one. Changing sheets with half the bed against the wall sucks.
Perfect!
UPDATE:
Thanks everyone for all the input. I hear y’all and I agree, it’ll be best to remove the chair to make the space less cramped. I will also get a larger rug.
Also, I wanted to add that I made a mistake in the layouts, the door is actually on the right wall and it opens towards the bottom wall. So in the images above, the door is opened.
I do like option 4, but I’m not too fond of having my desk parallel to the door as you won’t be able to see the door traffic without making a 180° turn.
Here’s the updated layout.
Ok, the door thing is not optimal. One solution: keep the door closed when you work.
Another one: can you rotate the desk by 90° and put it in the lower left corner, where the armchair is? The dresser either stays where it is or it goes on the window wall (you said that your windows are higher).
1 if you're single, 4 if you have people sleeping over often.
Forget what I said earlier. This is the one!
Deffo the best by far, and the armchair is far away from the wardrobe so will be used for sitting instead of laundry ahah
This is the best one. The only other space saving option I can think of is to use a headboard for the bed that has cubbies/shelves, which would allow you to get rid of the bedside table.
This is exactly what I was going to suggest. Do this one!
This right here is the go to
Potential downside to this: bed would be in background of work video calls. Personally I would do layout 1 without the accent chair (that would just end up collecting clothes for me haha)
Eh you can use background blurring options on most calls
I always have this feature turned on in case I forget where I am or something happens in the room I don't want accidentally on my call.
I was going to suggest this too. And do you need the armchair?
Where else will you put the only worn once clothes?
I like one the best, but three is okay too. If you pick two, it's going to feel crazy cramped at your desk.
If you go with one I would move the rug out towards the middle of the room instead.
How is OP supposed to get to the bookshelf (?) if they pick option 1? Doesn't seem super practical to have to climb over the bed every time.
3 looks like the only way to actually have access to each piece of furniture.
Maybe 3 but swap the bed and desk/bookshelf?
I assumed it was a TV stand... definitely makes a difference what the furniture is.
You’re right about how cramped 2 will be. Was just curious to see how it’ll look with the bed not against the wall. But it’s probably not functional given the size of the room.
I’m currently 50/50 on 1 & 3.
Appreciate the input!
I like one because most of the time you will walk in a sit on the bed. so bed position is nest in one.
One with the rug in the middle. 1 gives you room to open the wardrobe.
1 gives you the advantage of making a big open space quickly by moving the chair.
3 looks the best and more functional
In 1 it looks like to go to the drawer you had to go through narrow space between desk and bed
Will you be able to pass between the desk and the bed to reach the dresser though? Personally think 3 is the best option.
Or maybe but the bed on the wall with the door and put the desk in front of the window, kinda like an inverse of 2 but just swapping the bed and desk placement
Bonus of natural light and a view while you work.
When stressed out there’s nothing quite like glancing out the window and seeing a butterfly fluttery by or something. It depends on the view but just seeing signs of life outside can be calming
I currently am using 1 as nearly my exact arrangement lol. I don’t have to access the shelf all that often so putting it in a slightly awkward place is best. Unless that is a dresser at the foot of the bed in which case, very different situation
I agree with this, including the rug comment! My thoughts exactly
I’d go with 3. 😀
I had three growing up. My parents rearranged it to 2 once but that didn't last long
3 is good but if there is enough room to get the chair out, would switch the desk and shelves. that way there will be better floor space
I think option 1 gives you the most room, and least likely that the little open space will just end up as a clothes pile.
Are you sure you need the accent chair instead of just a little more space?
Good luck!
Funny you say that because right now, the chair is currently being used as the clothes pile holder lol
I agree - the chair is the biggest problem. Why not instead install a nice rack with hooks to hang stuff on? Maybe even on the side wall inside the closet. Edited to add: or behind the door!
Option 3 - can I ask what you used to make these plans?
That's the coolest! And it's free? Thanks for sharing!

3 is the best but I would remove the chair in front of the wardrobe & get a desk chair that could be used not only for working but also for relaxing if that's what you want the extra chair for. There are a lot of options like a streamlined swivel chair.
Every time you want to get into the wardrobe you are going to have to move that chair. It might not seem like a big deal at first but if you regularly use that clothing storage it will get tiring.
My apologies if your furniture won’t let like my layout suggests, but I like three with a couple tweaks. I like clear walking spaces.
What if you got rid of your night stand and used your desk as a night stand? And you probably don’t need the arm chair AND the desk chair in a smaller room like this I think
Definitely 3. You don’t want your bed too crowded, it can make it difficult to relax. And you will have plenty of space to walk around with this layout as well
3 seems like the only option where you can move around the whole room freely and also feels the best to me personally!
I'm trying to redecorate my bedroom and am seeking your opinions on its layout. I've come up with three different options for arranging the furniture in this small space. I'd love to know which layout you think works best in terms of efficiency, functionality, and aesthetics. Additionally, if you have any suggestions for improvements or changes, please feel free to share them! Thanks :)
Out of these three options, I would go with 3 as it gives you the most access to all of your furniture. If I was my room, I would be laying out in a different way to any of them, especially if the blue wall on the left is a window..
3 gives you the clearest walking space around the bed and desk
This isn’t sustainable on a daily basis. It’ll make you crazy with how cramped it is.
Find a much smaller desk… that one is huge. The extra chair is seriously in the way. A cushioned fold up chair is a far better choice for and takes up virtually no room.
I like 3 but I also recommend removing the accent chair unless you actually love or use it. It doesn't seem functional in the space.
3! Pick number 3 my lord! ✌️
option 1. but also, it depends on how it feels. i just switched two pieces of furniture in my room the other day. on paper it looked good, but it threw off the feng shui
I never like beds pushed against a wall.
All are kinda bad tbh
Id center the bed on the back wall (opposite wall to where the desk currently is) move the desk and dresser to the window and go from there
A bigger rug regardless pleaseeee

Remove the chair. Are you suee that you need the book shelf? If you do, ditch and put in shelving on a wall up high.
Then do more layouts. Imho you have too much furniture. It would drive me nuts.
I think 2. A bed pushed against a wall presents problems.
How many will be in this room? That determines if the bed works best against a wall or open on both sides.
Literally none of these. Take layout two and rotate the bed 90 degrees pivoting at the foot of the bed. Or take layout 1 and move the bed to the middle of the back wall. Whatever it will have the same effect both ways. That’s the only way a bedroom should be set up.
3 is the only one that actually makes sense
You need to take the chair out
1 or 3
not 2
If you absolutely need a desk in your bedroom, then 3. If you don’t, then 2.
3
3 for sure but what if no nightstand, move the dresser 90 degrees and on the back wall to be your nightstand, then shift the desk further left away from the door. It’ll feel less cramped.
1 and 2 are way too cramped
Agree that you need to move the chair in front of the closet!
Layout 3
Layout 3
3
You want the bed at the opposite door under the window not up against the wall.
I like 1
1! I don’t like having my head backed by a window in bed
Option 3.. this option looks most spacious
Layout 1 but move the rug to be under the bed & accent chair instead!
1 looks less cramped and more open area you can get the less closed in you will feel.
3
Or 1 if you could swap desk and what I’m guessing is a bookshelf.
The desk right at the door really cuts off access around the door. The bookshelf would be better there.
Layout 1 - the flow is better
Door number 3!
I'd go with 1, 3 seems awkward when you enter the room to reach the bed. One is also the most spacious feeling.
Layout 1 is the best here gives you the most floor place and looks like it would feel comfy
Option 2, but get rid of chair, move robe to the left of the door and move table to the place where the robe was
With 3 you can set up a TV or extra monitor on your shelf to watch videos or play games from bed.
1 without the chair. 3 and the one you posted in the comments are good too but i personally would go with 1 lol
I’d go with 3, but get rid of the armchair if you can. Regardless of your choice it just takes up too much space you don’t have
Do you need that chair in there? I’d go with 3
Woah, what software did you use for these plans? I'd like to try it out
3 is the most practical. Otherwise you cannot access the dresser or side table freely.
Option 1 but move the carpet
What about the bed anchored on the top wall, desk on the window wall towards the top corner, chair on the window wall in bottom corner, and bookshelf on the bottom wall centered across from the foot of the bed.
If you're sharing the room with someone, layout 2. If it's just you, layout 3
Def not 2 that’s all
Layout 1, but with the rug in the middle of the room. It will help to bring the room together :)
Could I suggest option 1, but swap arm chair and the desk? Or option 3.
Oh, just saw that video for work may play into it…. You could look into that option to blur your background?
I prefer layout 2 because making a bed that has one side against a wall can be a real PITA, but the flow of layout 3 is nice... It's definitely less cramped than the first two.
1, but move the rug to the spot in 2 and 3.
2
Three looks the least crowded.
I prefer 1 or 3. The door and closet position make it tricky. Did you consider placing the bed to the left of the door, with the small nightstand right next to the door as a buffer? That might be an option.
I like how 1 looks the best but wonder if 3 is the most practical. Either way, I don’t think there’s room for the armchair. You’re gonna open up drawers/doors right into it and it looks random. You also need to make sure there’s room for your desk chair to pull out without hitting the bed.
Layout one looks like the best for space,if you want your room to feel big when you walk in
3, purely because I don’t like the bed/desk chair area on the other 2
1 looks the most practical to me. Second choice 3.
1 or 3
I like 1
None
1
3, or the 4 you posted in comments based on suggestions.
1 gives you the most floor space, but the gap at the bottom of the bed would be awkward to access to clean, and may become a junk pit. 2 has the potential for a junk pit on multiple sides, changing the bed will be a pain with the only good access at the foot, and limits desk access. 3 and 4 you can access more of the bed, and no potential junk pit areas.
Easily 3. Those others appear to have area you would need to crawl on the bed to access.
One question? Is it a rolling chair at the desk? If so, it can really wear the floor.
3?
I like 1 the best but rug goes in the middle by the bed/chair/desk.
The only layout that makes sense for ease of access is 3
I like one because the desk chair shouldn’t bump into the bed.
3
3 it's not even a question. #2 is useless - can't move the chair, can't access the bookcase or barely the nightstand, can't make the bed. #1 is close to useless getting to that bookcase.
One or three.
1 then 3

3
Consider putting the dresser into the closet if possible (maybe remove the doors if needed?). This will give you more space in the room. I did this (was able to fit a TV on top and still had space to hang up my clothes. Allowed me to have a queen size bed in the room without it feeling cramped.
Layout 2, but put the chair in the empty corner by the headboard. And slide that dresser down towards where the chair used to be. As an adult, you shouldn’t have your bed against a wall, unless you’re afraid of falling out.
3 feels less claustrophobic to me
Layout 3 but switch the desk and dresser.
If you go with 3 but turn your desk to go against the left wall (if it fits), then you can have lots of room to move your desk chair around
I don't know the dimentions but could you take bed position in layout 3 but put desk beside it facing the window?
Where are the windows?
Possible to do layout 3 but put the desk next to the bed on the same wall and but the bookshelf where the desk is. lose the nightstand? you can use part of your desk as a nightstand?
Just suggesting this because i like room behind me when i sit at a desk and only layout 1 gives that space but is awkward
1 because I love sleeping right next to a window and the bed location feels nice and cozy. But I think if the bedframe has hardware sticking out at the foot like in the picture you might hurt yourself trying to get to the shelves in a hurry.
Layout 1. Although your head should never be facing North! Check your directions, Google sleep health.
Layout 1, but I’d move the rug to the center of the room
I’d constantly be fixated about the chair looking out of place in #3, and pissed off about how cramped my desk and dresser/table are in #2. So #1 is the only benign arrangement for me. Although I’d probably move the rug so that it’s under/between the chair, end table, and desk…I don’t like it under the bed and dresser.
1!!!
I'd say 3 but reverse the desk and bookshelf. Have more rug covering the center of the room.
Or could you move the bed 90 degrees and fit the desk and bookcase along the wall the bed currently is against?
Number 1 is the best - floor space, you won't feel so squished.
I choose layout #4.
Option 3
I’d probably go with 1, but would you have enough room to flip the bed so the headboard is right beside the desk? Would open the end to access the bookshelf and you can remove the night table.
1
1 unless you hate the view out the window
Don't face the wall with the desk
Does your closet have a sliding door? Maybe 1 but swap the desk with your nightstand and chair so it sits next to the bed. Your chair then takes the bookcase’s spot and your bookcase goes where your desk was? Not sure if that makes sense but my brain saw it that way.
Is there any way to move the shelf or desk next to your bed ( a la nightstand?) sorry if someone already suggested it
1, then 3. Two is right out
3 looks the most functional
1 or 3,personally I'd do 3.
1 or 3 for sure! Personal preference is 1 because it gives more floor space
For more room to move around 1 you could squeeze in a extra temporary chair for a fren
Move dresser to where desk is
If there’s enough room, move bed away from wall and put the nightstand on the other side
3
Do you need the chair? I feel like that makes this more complicated. 3 is the only feasible option in my opinion.
My room is laid out exactly like layout 1, except my window is across from the door
3
In 1 you can lie in bed and look out the window…
I think 3 makes the best use of the space in the room.
3 gives the most floor space
To create the most floor space use your desk as a bedside table, and slide the bookshelf over toward the entry door. If your desk is deep enough you could even put the bookshelf on the desk (if it’s not too tall and wouldn’t be at risk of tipping). If the bookshelf works on the desk you could put the lounge chair on the wall where the desk used to be to free up space in front of the wardrobe/closet.
1 and 3
3
Humor me with a fourth option lol:
Could you put your desk in front of the window,
the bed against the top wall (like the headrest/pillows against that wall and the bed having both sides accessible)
Nightstand to the left of the bed
Chair in the bottom left corner at a diagonal
Shelf unit on the bottom wall centered on the bed
I'm not sure about dimensions but I'd personally go nuts without a working window view and both sides of the bed usable.
