Long narrow principal bedroom

3 years ago

We are nearly finished our principal bedroom which is long and narrow for the best bed placement. I’m looking for suggestions on balancing the room with TV console or chairs. I don’t want it to be too cluttered but it also seems a bit off with so much space in the middle.

    Do you have enough room in your closet such that you don't need a dresser in the bedroom?

  • 3 years ago

    Yes. We got rid of the dresser because it was empty and only holder the TV. Walk in closet is big enough.

    a low bench across the foot of the bed?

    two low back swivel chairs and a table?

    Artwork and then call it good. Seems too narrow to introduce more furniture without cluttering things up.

    Or, Lyn's suggestion for a low bench at the foot of the bed is good. Something that hides the bed foundation pieces and is out of the way--i.e., not a dark of the night toe stubber. And a low bench wouldn't be competing with the feature wall.

    Consider putting a loveseat or slim-arm sofa at the foot of the bed, facing the TV. The wall opposite the headboard is empty…it is also long enough for a dresser and a console for the
    TV to sit upon.

    agreed. Definitely a bench at the foot of the bed.
    And then I’d have either a loveseat where the dresser was. Or a big chair with side table in the corner of the room.

    Lovely space!

    Thanks for the suggestions. Will definitely be looking for a low bench for the foot of the bed.

    Consider comfortable chairs/small table, which will be a practical and attractive way to fill the space, which I believe you were wanting to do.

    Love these.

    Like the idea of large art on the long wall and think big picture so as to have an overall coordinated look.

    last two pics are the same. lets see the entire wall where you want you tv to go.

    Here is the wall where the TV can go. The door is to the bathroom

    I was thinking something like this



    some other alternatives:




    Ikea Besta hack. (and yes, mount the tv on the wall. (not too high)


    warmer wood dressers or console that are vintage are also nice


    they have it off to the side wall, but something like this w/your tv above would work. I like this black stained, DIY bench too! super easy to make



    for the other wall, get some nice artwork, or a slim bench, or a large size leaning mirror.

    maybe a tall potted plant , or even something that hangs, for a bit of greenery


    a bench at the foot of the bed would also work. if you do this, just do art off to the right. or that shelving and small mirror in that one pic above is cute



    black nightstand disappear. if you do a wood console under the tv, think about doing some walnut floating nightstands. love the sconces too. or some pendants over the nightstands



    another type of wood dresser w/woven wood blinds and wood bench. looks so good w/the black. also, maybe some diff type of bedding that better suits the style of the room and the rug?

    did a quick photoshop. what do you think?


    they have sconces that don't need to be hardwired. I just like the idea of mounting them above the nightstands.

    I like this one too. the bed make-up, the throw , and the rug.


    I also really like these floating wood nightstands. the wood against the black is so pretty, especially w/the gold lighting and a hanging plant






    want lighter? try a white oak

    You've done a great job towards a fabulous room!

    Here's another idea to add to all the many others:

    I like Beth’s suggestions, esp. all the pics with plants and warm wood….they add softness to the dark wall. Also yes to mounting the telly, plug-in sconces (Rejuvenation has quite a few options….we used them in all of our bedrooms to keep nightstands free for books, glasses etc) and the floating nightstands! I found floating nightstands on Etsy for our smaller guest room…..they are brilliant! You can choose size, wood species, with or w/o drawer etc. Another thing we did (great for wall-mounted sconces!): I found inexpensive remote-control outlets on Amazon….you simply plug them into your outlets behind the bed, then plug the sconces into them. They come with small on/off remotes that sit on your nightstand and make turning off your sconces so much easier…no having to stretch over or up to reach a lamp’s switch. Good luck!

    Agree these are fantastic! We had the sconce discussion as well and if we do the remote control I can hold off the electrician for now.

    I’m boosted by all the advice to continue 🙏🏽
