9 Bedroom Layouts

There are a variety of options when it comes to bedroom layouts, so don’t be afraid to get creative. Before designing your bedroom, look at the shape of your space and consider the different pieces of furniture that you want to include in your room. From seating areas to home office corners, the ideas are endless – knowing what you intend for the space will help you discover the best bedroom layout.

Rectangular With a Sitting Area

If you have a large room, consider a bedroom layout with a seating area. Large bedrooms offer plenty of space to unwind and rest, but they can feel empty if you have too much unused space. Add a seating area near a focal point in the bedroom, like a fireplace or large window. If you don’t have an obvious focal point, create one with a gallery wall of your favorite art and photographs. Designatea small seating area, then add cozy accent chairs, a side table, and a soft rug. This makes the ideal place to enjoy your morning cup of coffee, your favorite book, or a glass of wine before bed.

Square & Symmetrical

If you love simplistic bedroom layouts, this bedroom idea is perfect for you. For a minimalist look that focuses on function, this symmetrical layout is all about having the bed as the focal point.. The bed sits in the middle of the wall with two night stands on either side. This bedroom layout works well for both small and large rooms, since it helps establish visual balance. If you need more storage space, consider adding a dresser across from the bed. Choose furniture with clean lines to help maximize the simple and minimal feel throughout the room.

A Unique Shape

Utilizing an attic or basement as a bedroom is a great way to make use of the space. It can be hard to find the right bedroom layout since most attics and basements are oddly shaped. Use a flat wall in the room to place the bed. Add a textured rug underneath and two nightstands on either side to make the bedroom layout feel extra cozy. If you still have extra space, consider what the room will be used for. Add a desk if you need a workspace, a love seat or accent chairs for extra seating, or a bookcase and bean bags for a reading nook.

Filled With Doors & Windows

Bedrooms with plenty of windows and doorways usually have a lot of natural light, which is a win for any bedroom. It can be tricky to design the bedroom with furniture due to the openings on every wall. Choose a large wall to fit your bed (this is often the largest wall in the room). Smaller walls are perfect for dressers, TV stands, or benches. If you have a smaller bedroom, opt for a full-length mirror to sit in an empty corner. This helps add more light to the room and gives the illusion that the room is larger.

A Focus on the Windows

While it’s common to place your bed on an unused wall in a bedroom with windows, don't be afraid to try a different look. The bed tends to be the main focus of the room, so try placing your bed in front of large windows. While this may seem unconventional, it allows you to free up space and use the largest wall for more essential items, like a desk or dresser. An added bonus is that it’s easier to design the bedroom layout without having to worry about window placement. Add in curtains (or even blinds) to add privacy to your bedroom while adding a touch of texture to the room.

Rectangular Bedroom With a Home Office

If your home doesn’t have space for an exclusive office room, consider adding a spot in your bedroom to get your work done. By placing your bed on one side of the room, like along a set of windows or a large wall, you’ll be able to create a designated space for working. Consider a leaning desk if you are looking for a minimal look but want to maximize your storage space. It helps add storage vertically without taking up too much space in your bedroom.

The Corner Entry

When working with a corner door entry, it’s essential to consider walking space. You don’t want to have to navigate around large pieces of furniture as soon as you enter the bedroom. If your bedroom is smaller, opt for minimalist furniture to keep from overcrowding the space. For bedrooms with ample square footage, you can choose larger, more decorative furniture accents. If you have extra space at the end of the bed, try adding accent chairs to relax in or a bench to add storage space.

A Kids’ Room With Bunk Beds

Whether you are looking for little ones to share a room or have space for friends to sleepover, a bedroom with a bunk bed is a great option. Consider making the bed the main focus in the room. If you have closet space, skip the dresser and leave the extra floor space for the kids to play. Add a nightstand on either side of the bunk bed. Look for smaller pieces of furniture that can hold toys, like ottomans or side tables, to add to the corners of the room.

A Teen’s Room

Teens tend to hang out in their rooms for more than just sleeping, so before choosing a bedroom layout, think about the different things they do in their room. If the space is small, consider using the walls for functionality. Add a desk in the corner as a homework space, then add wall shelves or a customizable pegboard system. Add storage ottomans to the end of the bed for extra organization and seating when friends come over. If space allows, add a bookcase near the desk to store school supplies and a TV stand so they can watch their favorite shows before bed.
