A master bedroom layout should draw the eye to the bed while showcasing other design features.
The master bedroom is the main bedroom in a house. Before you can begin decorating the space and filling it with the accessories that will tie the look together, you will need to decide on a layout that bests fits your space. Often laying out a floor plan for a room involves a lot of heavy lifting and assessing from different angles. However, a little preplanning will help minimize your lifting and better prepare you for decorating the space.
Instructions
1. Find the best location for the bed. The most important furniture in any bedroom should always be the bed itself. Sometimes you are limited to only one wall the bed will fit against, but you may have some freedom to layout the space. Look for windows that would naturally flank the bed or other architectural features that will best bring attention to this important focal point.
2. Find the feature wall in the room. This will often be the wall that the bed is positioned against, but you may have other design features that would make secondary focal points in the room. For instance, there could be built-in shelving, niches or picture windows. Position your furniture to enhance these feature points, not detract from them.
3. Orient your bed on an interior wall. Your bed should be an inviting place to be, and positioning your bed on an interior wall could help with that. Positioning the bed on an outer wall, that is one leading to the outside, leaves you more exposed to the elements and could lead to discomfort.
4. Assess the amount of furniture going into the space. Sometimes you do not need a headboard, footboard, nightstands, dressers and vanities to all fit in a room. In most cases, it is best to pare down what you include to keep the room cozy but clutter free.
5. Create a sense of balance in the room. For example, if you are furnishing the space with two nightstands, be sure they are placed on either side of the bed. If you are placing a large, deep chest of drawers in the space, be sure you do not place it in a way block or detract from the main entrance point in the room.
6. Try positioning furniture at an angle to best fill the space. It is not always necessary to orient furniture flush with the wall. Sometimes framing the room in a series of angles will properly fill the room and make it seem more warm and inviting. For example, placing your headboard at an angle from the far corner wall so that it is facing the main entrance point can help draw the eye to this important feature.
