Need help for 9x10 bedroom layout

6 years ago

My daughter is moving into a 9x10 bedroom in an older home with a small closet and one window. I am starting from scratch but would love to get a queen headboard/bed to fit in the room. The entry door is on the 10' wall in the left corner and opens left against the closet door (meaning you basically have to close the bedroom door to open the closet). The closet door is on far left of 9' wall. Across from the entry door is a blank 10' wall and across from the closet door is a 9' wall with a window almost but not exactly centered. (There is more wall space to the right of the window than the left.) I do not have the exact measurements at this time. She will need more hanging storage as her closet is small. She will need a dresser. We need help with layout and maximizing space while creating a beautiful bedroom. She likes the Safavieh Rustic Wood Linen Headboard on Houzz and it comes in white and a light wood color.

Not a Pro.

I came across this beautiful Bedroom. According to the comments made by the Designer Laura Stein Interiors, this room is 8.5 feet wide. The bed is a Queen size. All the comments about this beautiful room is to the right. Scroll down.

Here is some inspiration.

This headboard?

If you put it against the corner, a queen bed will give you ~4' around the bed, which is the width of a good sized hallway. Not a lot of space. I would consider going down to at least a full bed if possible, which will give you a half foot more on both sides.

A PAX system from IKEA would cover both the dresser and hanging space and keep the closet mess contained behind doors. They can be configured depending on how much hanging vs. drawer space she needs. I would recommend the units with sliding doors since space is so limited. The aisle between the PAX and a queen bed would only be 2'. Other companies also make similar storage options.

I like my first idea best as far as use of space. I know people say not to put toilets on an outside wall. We had one in our last house in Iowa, but we had 2X6 construction. I don't know how high your window is, but I'm guessing the toilet would fit under there. The shower would be 5 feet long or shorter if you want a wider space to get to the toilet. (kind of tight the way I have drawn). You could do a 5 and half foot long shower and do an angled door at the left end to allow room between the shower and toilet. The vanity would be about 7 feet long, unless you do a 60 inch vanity with a linen cabinet at the door. I would reverse entry door swing if you do that.. The second top right could work and you would still have a small closet. The bottom left plan would require waterproofing your front window. Hopefully someone will give you other ideas. The bottom right plan is bigger, but no closet. Each square equals 1 foot.

Also would it make the room look to small if I put curtains along the whole wall that has the window?

after it's cleaned, perhaps you could post new pics. as for new layout, how? everything is already crammed in there. Purge. clean, then purge some more. then pretend you aren't 12, and post some more pics.

In a 9x10 room, consider a twin size bed to allow more room for other furniture.

Yes, Emily Jowers, that is the bed, and your drawing is like the room. I wondered if we might put the bed in the other corner (where you have drawn a chair) so that you are not walking right in on the bed. I am not sure of which wall to put the headboard on if we do that. I think it would be a little odd with the headboard in front of the window that is not centered. I like the Pax system for extra storage but was hoping to not spend that much. I would also like to have a dresser with a mirror over it that would add character but also be functional. Thank you!

You could do it this way. You’ll have 5’ next to the queen bed. The dresser could double as a nightstand then just have a rack for hanging things on the top wall. An armoire would also work if you want doors, but could interfere with the dresser drawers depending on sizing. A square is a foot. Even with the mirror above the dresser, I would still want a full-length mirror by the door.

Your comments have all been so helpful! I asked my daughter to double check measurements because I was concerned about getting everything to fit in a 9x10, and the bedroom is actually 9.5x11.5! So I am thinking she can definitely fit in a queen bed. The closet is actually tiny with a 2' door behind the bedroom door. I drew the room below and would appreciate comments regarding: (1) room arrangement (was thinking about putting bed where Emily drew it above with the headboard on long wall and the side close to window), (2) rug size (do I need one to cover entire room or just by bed), and (3) hanging storage (I like how Emily drew it next to closet to keep clothing all on one side of room but wondered if it would fit in space at end of bed so you wouldn't be walking into it). Just my thoughts but I need help! Thanks!

A queen bed is 80” long, almost 7’. Hanging space requires about 2’ or space, which leaves you with 10” between the hanging storage and bed. If the hanging storage had wheels, she could pull it out to use, then roll it back to store it at the foot of the bed. A tall dresser by the closet would be a good use of space, then she could fit a desk by the bed (where I drew the dresser above), which could double as a nightstand.

So is there not room for stationary hanging storage at end of bed? If not, then maybe we need to flip and put the dresser at end of bed and hanging storage back on the wall by closet where you drew it originally. It is difficult for me to plan from a distance and I wonder if her measurements are correct. She said she has 36" right of window to corner. I really appreciate your help

If she is going to sit on the bed and pick out her clothes, then it could be stationary, but there is not room to stand between the hanging storage and bed.
