Arrange furniture so all elements are accessible.
No matter what the size of your bedroom, an extra dresser often causes issues with placement along with all of the other bedroom furniture. Both dressers need to be easily accessible so that you are able to stand comfortably in front of them. The ability to open the drawers fully is also essential. Drawing a floor plan of the bedroom allows you to play with the placement without actually moving around heavy dressers and other substantial bedroom furniture.
Instructions
1. Measure your bedroom to figure out exactly how much space is available. Measure your furniture pieces so you know how much room each piece will take up.
2. Draw a scale drawing of the room, including the door, closet, windows and other fixtures that will affect furniture placement. Draw in the furniture on paper using the measurements you took of the individual pieces.
3. Position the furniture pieces from the largest to the smallest. This usually means placing the bed first, which often goes opposite the door.
4. Place one of the dressers on the wall opposite the bed if you have the space. This is particularly useful if you plan to place a TV on top of the dresser for viewing from bed.
5. Position the second dresser on the same or another wall, depending on the amount of space you have available. One option is to place the dressers on either side of a window to balance the placement within the room.
6. Stand in front of the dressers to ensure they are easy to access in their current placement. Try opening the drawers and getting items out to ensure the space isn't too cramped. Focus on functionality first and the appearance of the room second.
