Small bedroom with odd shape in need of help with furniture placement
We want to revamp this room. It needs some help (besides the decor!). We really want help with the placement of the current furniture to make it feel more spacious. We are definitely considering changing the headboard to something lower and straight across (not arched). We may like to mount the TV (get rid of small green cabinet) and put more paintings on the walls. Thanks for the advice!

Master bedroom furniture placement...need advice quick!
Comments (9)I think your furniture placement will be all right, ncamy. I suggest a few things: 1. get slightly smaller club chairs than the current "overstuffed" size. (I've always wondered who that furniture is for, as you can only actually sit in the space provided and the arms and back don't add to one's comfort!) 2. Get chairs that swivel, so you can move them to and fro according to the light in the room, and 3. put one ottoman between the two chairs. You can face each other and use the single ottoman and still watch the screen, or you can put a tray on the ottoman and use it as a side table for the two chairs....See MoreNeed ideas for livingroom furniture placement- odd room shape
Comments (21)Nothing in picture is staying. All items are from other house and are just there until I decide what to do with room, what can be reused and what really must go. Ceiling in room is near 25feet. Lighting other than lamps will come later. Large art is a must. DH says that will come after the furniture. We have been getting ideas as there are also walls in the entry and stairway that need large art. I kinda like the idea of the curved sofa. Not sure if it facing the big wall will work. It may make room look too skinny. We actually did consider flipping the room at one point but decided to keep it the way it is. The room seems long and skinny but the width is actually decent. I think the real problem is that the windows in corner of the front of the room. It makes one want to either be in the area by the windows or be in the area where sofa is. We tried to overlap the sofa on the window and it looked like we were overlapping into that space. I agree that those sitting on sofa in the current layout feel on display as it is first thing you see when coming down the stairs or coming in the house. At one time I thought maybe doing a loveseat a few feet from arch with a sofa table behind it. DH was not too sure about that. I think he felt it chopped up the flow of the two rooms and when sitting on loveseat your back would be to the diningroom and anyone coming from there and the kitchen beyond. I am really into Feng Shui. Flow is important to me. I am just not sure how to achieve it in this room. Here are other views of room from a while ago- note other paint colors. View across room, looking towards entry from the sofa wall....See Moreneed help with furniture placement in my awkward shaped bedroom!
Comments (3)Have you tried the bed on the facing wall? (I always like to see the headboard when walking into a room.) Wouldn't the vanity make sense in front of the window to take advantage of daylight? (Or does it have too large a mirror above it?) Then you can place the dresser on the diagonal wall and the Vittsjo shelves and standing mirror near the door. If the standing mirror just doesn't work anywhere, consider selling it and using a wall-mounted one on your entry or closet door. Alternatively, with the bed on the opposite wall, you could place the dresser where the bed is now (at the foot of the bed, iow) and the vanity where the dresser is now. Do you really need the glass shelves in the bedroom? Could they go anywhere else in your place? The unit won't look strange by itself if you consider the whole wall as a vignette and place art on it accordingly....See MoreBedroom: Furniture Placement
Comments (19)I brought in a bench from another room just to see how a piece like that would look. What do we think? It is 50" wide. I think I need something longer and artwork above should be wider. The wall still looks pretty empty....See MoreAngie Cain

Definitely get rid of the TV cabinet and mount it on the wall. Maybe you could get rid of the cabinet beside the closet, or move it elsewhere in the room. We don't have room or furniture measurements so hard to tell, but could it go on the same wall that the green cabinet is on now, but closer to the window? Not sure if it would block access to the bed.
I like your headboard and would not replace it.
I'd put less art on the walls, not more. For the group of 3 pictures, hang them at the same height and closer together, about the distance of the picture mat or a bit closer. They should "read" as one unit. Unless you use the mirror for dressing/makeup, a piece of art would look better, e.g. the piece that is over the tall dresser, although the formal-looking gold frame doesn't really go with the more rustic look of the room at all. Can you use it in a different room and bring something else in here? The green vase is out of place too.
I would fold the checked blanket in half and lay it sideways across the foot of the bed.
