In a large bedroom, you have space to spread out.
Having a large bedroom may seem like an unqualified blessing, but sometimes all that space makes a room difficult to arrange. Yet, if you follow several easy steps, you can have a bedroom that looks beautiful and is comfortable to live in as well.
Instructions
1. Each partner should have their own bedside table.
Place the bed's head against the longest wall in the room, to ensure its prominence. If your room's longest wall is interrupted with doors and windows, other placements are possible. Think where a king or queen would place their bed, and you'll know where to put yours.
Placing the head of the bed against the wall is the most convenient arrangement, because no one has to climb over his partner to get into or out of bed. Give each person a bedside table. While bedside tables and lamps don't have to match, having two of them gives the room symmetry and expresses equality in the relationship.
2. A place to sit other than the bed will help you enjoy your bedroom more.
Place a chaise lounge or comfortable chair off to one side for seating. If you have room for two chairs, you can have an area for talking or eating. Place the chairs either facing each other or at an angle so that two people don't have to twist around in order to chat. A small table or hassock within reach of both chairs is useful for books, drinks and feet.
3. Place a mirror near your dresser or bureau.
Place all your clothing storage pieces and mirror close to each other and the closet to save steps when you get dressed in the morning. You can even place dressers inside the closet if you have enough space.
4. Many other ideas are possible. You might include a space to exercise or a meditation corner, or put your piano and music equipment there so you can play or listen before you go to bed.
