Bed sizes for 3 BR home

4 years ago

We are building a home and need to select the bed sizes.
The 3 BR are

18x15
13x12
13x11

What size bed would go in each room?

Thank you.

    Our three kids each have rooms on the smaller side at approx 12x10 each. They have twin beds. We are in the process of bumping my oldest up to a double. Our room is also smaller at 14x13 and we have a king no problem

    Even the smallest room can handle a full, as well as a nightstand and dresser. Of course, it depends on your needs.

    Is the bed the only thing in the room?

  • 4 years ago

    2end tables in larger room. 1ebd table in the other two. Nothing else is the idea.

    Depends who you are trying to accommodate……but in general, queens rather than full, and XL twins rather than a standard twin. People are taller!

    Thank you all for comments. Didn’t want full beds anywhere. 2 daughters will take up 2 rooms; they are older so would need a queen.

    If you have 3 rooms and you know that your daughters need queens in two of them, what is your question?

  • 4 years ago

    Not sure why the girls need aueens, but any of those rooms will accommodate any bed, depeneding where the bed is placed.

    I had a friend in college that was 5'-1" tall that bought a new king size bed. When her mother asked why she bought such a large bed. She answered, "It is an investment."

    My daughters would be visiting as would friends, with husband , wife or friends . Their not living with us, I should have mentioned .My husband thinks a king size is better. The king would fit , but I think it’s too tight for a king.

    I think queens would be better in a guest room unless the room is very large, which yours is not. This will leave your guests a little room to move about with suitcases, etc.

    Your floor plan measures 12'8" x 10'8". In your post you are calling it 13' x 11'. Every inch makes a difference. So, what are the true measurements of the other two rooms. Can you post those floor plans?

    It’s 3 BRs. 18x15; 13x12; and 13x11.

  • 4 years ago

    These will help.

    I agree. Not a big problem to have.

    King and two queens. That’s what we’ve done in very similar circumstances/size rooms … king in main bedroom with two nightstands and other furniture, queens in guest rooms with one nightstand (smaller round table on other side for phone, water). Depending on the room set-up, I try to fit in a nice chair, small bench, or small dresser, etc in the guest rooms as well. Lighting can be lamps and/or wall sconces above bed.

    It’s not just measurements, though — it depends on where windows and doors are, if there’s plenty of closet storage for guests, and if the bathroom(s) has good storage.

    King beds would be much too big for your guest rooms, in my opinion. They also cost a lot more … not just the beds, but bedding, pillows, etc.

    ETA: Didn’t see your floor plans before posting.

    I had rounded off the BR sizes in the post.

    A king and two queens will fit, but it looks like the location of doors and windows in the Master and Bedroom 2 may make the placement of the beds very awkward. Unless you’re going to put beds in front of windows, you’ll be entering at the head of the bed in both rooms. Are the windows placed high on the walls to allow for a headboard below?

  • 4 years ago

    Thank you. I knew from the start you would enter at head board. I’d rather not put headboard on the window. King and 2 queens it is.

  • 4 years ago

    If this is a new build, it seems a real shame to end up with such an awkward layout. Especially in the master. Why not rethink the window placement?

  • 4 years ago

    If entering at the head of the bed bothers you, you could add a little vestibule to change the entry. This sort of change would be relatively inexpensive and easy to do even after moving in. You basically take out the existing framing and add a small wall then reframe the door at the other end.

    Layout is 100% contingent on door and window placement to make these rooms successful. With a new build you have to have these rooms planned out with all furniture shown in the rooms. Traffic patterns, electrical placement etc all must be evaluated with a new build.
