The very purpose of the bedroom requires a special attitude and careful approach to the layout and arrangement of furniture in this room. The arrangement of furniture in the bedroom should be carried out in such a way as to provide an atmosphere of calm and comfort, conducive to a night's rest.
The task of arranging furniture is greatly simplified if the bedroom has a large area and has the correct shape, allowing you to arrange the furniture in accordance with the rules of ergonomics. If the room has an irregular shape, and its area is limited to such an extent that only the most necessary furniture can be placed in it, the arrangement of furniture will require considerable effort and imagination.
Bedroom design
If a large family lives in an apartment, then, of course, everyone should have a bedroom. It is very important to ensure that loud sounds do not interfere with rest in the bedroom; to do this, you need to equip it, if possible, away from other rooms in the apartment.
The bedroom should be equipped based on how many residents live in the apartment; if they are a couple of young people who just got married and moved into a new apartment, the bedroom should be large enough to fit a double bed.
If the owners have a large house, then every person living in this house has a bedroom, where they have the opportunity to spend time as they want.
Ideal sizes for a bedroom (instructions)
This room must be well lit and its location allows no extraneous noise from other rooms to penetrate into it. A good position of the bed allows you to block out bright sunlight. The workplace is equipped only next to the window; it is preferable to install the closet in a dark corner.
The room for arranging a bedroom is usually chosen by its location next to rooms such as the living room and bathroom. It is not recommended to choose a bedroom that is located next to the dining area.
Choosing a bed
Experts advise buying the largest size bed that will fit in the room without impeding movement. They are:
- Single;
- One and a half;
- Double.
Do not buy round or oval beds, they cause problems with the selection of linen and may be uncomfortable. Classic rectangular options are more practical. The design does not matter much; it is important that high-quality materials and fittings are used. As for the material, it is usually metal, wood, MDF and fiberboard. The first two options are preferable, they will last a long time and add style to the room. MDF and chipboard are budget-friendly in price, but they can break and you will have to spend money on a new bed again.
Style and color are selected based on the existing or future decor of the room. Study photos online and you will understand which bed to choose for a specific interior and palette.
How to calculate the area for a bedroom
The area for the bedroom, chosen correctly, meets the following parameters:
- The size of the area for 1 adult is at least 8 sq.m;
- If there will be two adults there, then the area should be at least 12 sq.m.
- In a large house, the bedroom area is from 13 sq.m. up to 15 sq.m.
You should not choose a large bedroom - you will feel uncomfortable in such a bedroom. But small bedrooms, on the contrary, help to find comfort and promote relaxation.
Organization of a sleeping place
If you have a small space, you should give preference to a bed with a spacious storage compartment under the base or with built-in drawers. Such a bed will provide not only a comfortable sleep, but also a place to store things.
Bedroom shape (examples)
If you have your own house and the bedroom is located on the attic floor, an area of up to 7 square meters is acceptable, but this is only good in one case, when the owners also have a room for relaxation and for receiving guests.
The size of most bedrooms is at least 8 sq.m., such dimensions are determined by the placement of all the necessary furniture.
The ideal shape of a bedroom, if one person sleeps in it, is considered rectangular. If spouses relax and spend time in it, then the shape should only be square; this shape is chosen based on the fact that it is necessary to place other pieces of furniture on the sides of the bed.
The bedroom should not only accommodate a bed, but also have enough space for other pastimes. The bedroom can accommodate a dressing table or, at the request of the owners, a dressing room.
Manufacturing materials
How to choose bedroom furniture? In the process of selecting any design, it is imperative to take into account what material is used to create it. The most frequently selected interior items are created from:
- Laminated chipboard - this material is considered the most affordable of all options. It is created from pressed waste wood, after which it is covered with a special laminated coating on top. Products made from chipboard have different colors and textures. Before purchasing, you should definitely make sure that no harmful components were used in the production process, since the bedroom should not contain any dangerous interior items. The disadvantages of the material include its loose structure, short service life and low resistance to various negative influences;
- MDF - it can be veneered or laminated. No harmful components are used in the production process of the material, and it is characterized by excellent strength and the presence of other positive parameters. It is resistant to fire, mold and moisture;
- solid wood - photos of bedroom furniture made from natural wood amaze the imagination of every person. The designs are beautiful, sophisticated and luxurious. They have a high cost, so they are available to wealthy buyers. For their production, different types of wood can be used, and the structure and features of the resulting structures depend on them;
- wrought iron furniture is considered an exquisite choice for any room. It is created using hot or cold forging, and designs are suitable for almost every interior style. It is advisable to buy such furniture to order, since then the manufacturers will take into account the desired style for the buyer.
Thus, sleeping furniture, like other interior items in the bedroom, can be made from different materials. It is allowed to use structures made of different materials in the same room, but they must combine well with each other.

Work zone
Time dictates its own rules, and increasingly, for convenience, a small work area is allocated in the bedroom. As a rule, this is a place to install a small desk or computer desk, shelves or bedside tables for storing documents or books.
The desk is adjacent to the window
The best option is to install a sliding partition, screen or rack with open shelves.
The work area is separated by a sliding partition
It will help not disturb the sleeper. If it is not possible to install a partition, allocate a place for the work area in the corner, closer to the window. And it is also possible to re-equip the balcony.
Desk or computer desk in the bedroom
Many people believe that installing a computer in the bedroom is unacceptable. But for active young people this is not a hindrance, because many work remotely and are in different time zones, and the long-awaited answers are likely to come at night.
- A computer or desk should be installed as close to the window as possible so that the light falls from the left;
- Installing a small table on the side of the bed is convenient because it simultaneously serves as a bedside table and can be used in different ways: serve as a stand for an alarm clock, a lamp;
- It is possible to install a table at the foot of the bed - facing the sleeping area. This option is convenient if the room is narrow and long;
- The table can be installed opposite the bed, in one row with a chest of drawers and other furniture;
The choice of option is purely individual. The main condition is not to disturb those sleeping and to feel comfortable.
The workplace is located in a free corner
Placement of bedside tables and shelves
Bedside tables and shelves for storing books should be compact in size and located in close proximity to the computer desk - next to it or directly above it. All items stored in them must be easily accessible, “at hand”.
All necessary accessories are always easy to get
The table, bedside tables and shelves are matched to the color of the bed, bedside tables, and wardrobe.
The furniture in the work area is designed in the same color scheme and style as the bed
It is important to fit them harmoniously into the bedroom space.
