I also dislike beds on the same wall as an entrance. For me Your room is hard to pick a best layout because of the door and window placement. I would normally put the bed on the longest wall access from the door or on the short wall opposite the sitting area. You didn't say what the door next to the window is.

Patricia Colwell Consulting - I agree the bed and nightstands don't mesh - the nightstands are more of the long term style I'm going for. We bought the bed a few years ago in haste, and it will be replaced eventually. Hoping I can make it work for a few years. So trying to decorate around the nightstands. I'm not sure what "tailored" bedding means - I'd love a lighter duvet cover. The pieces of wood are going as soon as we get a rug :)

If you go over to the building a home forum you will find a lot of posts that are looking for feedback on floorplans and floorplans as you describe are very common. You should get a bunch of ideas if you look around. You can also sketch out your floorplan as is and get feedback on how to rework.

@decoenthusiaste Thanks so much for your input, I am leaning on agreeing with you at this point as I really don't want the room to appear any smaller than it is. @Cheryl Smith You are correct, the entry door is opposite the knee-wall door, but that run of wall before the dormer is not long enough for the bed, night stands and to still have access to the closet. After a lot of thought, the bed fits best and makes the most sense against the far wall with the window. @njmomma Thanks so much for the pictures, I had never thought about a blue door previously, but I kind of really like it!
