Arranging Master Bedroom PLEASE! :)

10 years ago

Good evening fellow Houzzers!
My husband and I moved into our first home three months ago and while we are making slow (but good!) progress, we are stumped on arranging our bedroom. We have a beautiful cherry sleigh bed, armoire, and dresser that we are trying to configure around an awkward window and doors.
As you can see in the pictures, there is no other wall that we can fit the bed on. However, with the window there, finding a nightstand for my husband is proving to be difficult. Also, having the armoire and dresser right next to each doesn't seem right to me. We have 2 story ceilings and we will eventually be going for a calm, semi-farmhouse mixed with traditional style.
I would appreciate any of your ideas regarding layout, bedside tables, etc. My only requests are that we both needs bedside spots (for glasses, phones, books) and we would like all three pieces to stay in the room.
Thank you all SO MUCH!

Nothing wrong with your layout. You can easily put another nightstand on the other side of the bed. Just get 2 matching lamps that are taller. The one you have there now is disproportionately small. Add a mirror above your dresser. Add some tall decorative jars/bottles on your armoire to show off your tall ceilings. Is there a TV in the armoire? If not, see how it looks up against the wall with the door on it. Add some artwork above your bed. You did not show the wall that is to the right of your bed.

Thanks Barbara! I have attached a pic of both the fourth wall and another of the window. We have to be able to reach the bottom of the window to open it, so I do not know if we would be able to put a table right in front of it.

Is it possible to put your bed and nightstands on the opposite wall? The wall without windows? That would give you plenty of room for your armoire where your mirror is, and your dresser where your bed is. Leaving room for your mirror where your armoire is now, and possibly a small chair in the corner between door and window?

I was actually thinking that too... I will have to measure again tomorrow! If it fits, does anyone think it is awkward to open the door and have the bed right there?

No, it would not be awkward at all. Sometimes, you just have to think outside the box when it come to arranging furniture in certain rooms.

I would put the armoire across from the foot of the bed and put the dresser on the wall with what appears to be a balcony door. You seem to have room for a nightstand on both sides of the bed if they are not large. I like to have a lamp on each nightstand unless there is another source of light for reading. Add some art or a mirror over the dresser, and a bedroom- size upholstered chair if you have the space.
