![]() This allows that back longest wall to become the focal point in the room. Stick around because I’ll show you how to break this rule and when it’s a good idea to do so. I’m all for keeping it simple, but when you have a design brief that requires a few different options, you may need to break that steadfast rule. ![]() After it has a home, everything else can be placed to work around it. It’s one of the “design rules” I think makes a lot of sense.įollowing this rule keeps things simple and usually helps to eliminate a lot of confusion because that largest piece can also be the trickiest to place. One of my steadfast rules is the largest furniture goes on the longest unobstructed wall. If this was a passthrough space, like a room with multiple doorways, I would definitely spend some time anticipating the pathways in and through. It’s all about making sure there’s enough room to move comfortably into the space and not hinder any functions that need to happen. This combination of knowing the measurements of each wall and anticipating the tricky spots gets me to the next step which is usually determining pathways.įor this room there is only one way in and one way out, so navigating through the room isn’t going to be an issue. An off-center window like this makes it hard to place décor to visually balance the space. It could cause my décor to be unbalanced. My anticipation is that the window’s position will pose more of an aesthetic problem. In a room this size you likely can’t avoid it. I don’t have a problem with putting furniture in front of windows. The other thing that jumps out at me is the off-center window. The space right inside the angled doorway looks like it could be a good spot for something small, but whatever goes there can’t be too deep or pop off the wall too far because you don’t want to sidestep around something to get into the room. ![]() The louvered closet doors need to pull fully open and there shouldn’t be anything in the way to hinder that. Let’s unpack the actual room and dig a little deeper into the design brief.įor this room, I must not block the closet doors with furniture. Want to see what fits in a 9’ x 10’ bedroom with an angled wall and a bumped-in closet? ![]() It was really about what would fit the best. They also weren’t committed to any one purpose for the space over another. So, a pull-out sofa or some other convertible piece would be needed. They also planned to host friends and family for short stays, so this room needed to function as a dedicated bedroom at least some of the time.Īnd, the potential 3rd possibility for the space was a spot for relaxing and curling up with a good book. (I put office in quotes because it could be a small desk instead of a dedicated office space, make sense?) They potentially needed an “office” area for remote work. Per their request, since they were planning to have extended stays at the property, and because it was over a thousand miles from their primary home and jobs: This room is one space in their vacation home. Today I’m not only going to show you one way to layout this challenging space, but I’ll also show you 3, completely unique ways to do it. But finding furniture with the right dimensions that will also fit nicely into a room that’s less than 10’ square is even more challenging.Īdd an angled wall, a bumped-out closet, and an off-center window and you have a super tricky room to lay out.
