Nice room with a lot of potential

I definitely would not put the chair where you have it..

have you tried the bed where the dresser is?

Are you comfortable with a mirror facing the bed?

I had the bed against the dresser wall and it was a little smushed. I don't prefer the mirror there but don't know where to move it just yet. Here is how the room looked a few days ago. Which furniture placement do you like better?

I‘d swap bed & dresser but I bet that’s where you just moved it from. The position of mirror to bed does make one pause but there’s not a lot of traffic through a person’s private space. Pretty mirror & good wall for it but I assume purpose is for full length view of self after dressed & you don’t get that now with shorter space between mirror & bed. It’s big enough to use as a leaner mirror instead of hanging on wall - does that open up any options? If you want to leave bed where it is, how about moving dresser towards corner & placing chair in space between dresser & window. Mirror could move to where chair is now.

By chance, did you do a floor plan of your room with measurements? Easier on the joints and back to move paper furniture. :)

I do think the bed makes more sense in front of the window (especially in relation to the light fixture) but make sure it doesn't "smoosh" the pretty curtains. Are there sheer panels behind the velvet ones? How does everything look with the curtains closed?

The upholstered chair doesn't work on the wall coming into the room. If you're not married to it in this room, I'd find it a new home. Instead, I think a pair of "sculptural" chairs on each side of the dresser would be fab. Large art on the blank wall. Unsure about a bench on that wall unless you know you'll use it.

This bedroom from David Kleinberg is one of my faves. Your bedroom reminds me a bit of it in its serene colours. It's spare and the chairs add so much.

My last post crossed with your update but you confirmed what I suspected about prior location of bed. If you like bed in front of windows, would dresser fit on wall where mirror is? Mirror & chair could move to wall where dresser is now & where bed was. Question- do you usually have lamps on nightstands? Another thought - if you don’t need the light from window behind the bed you could leave that drape permanently closed creating a soft ”wall” behind the bed.

If I was doing this all over I would purchase a queen size bed and then I wouldn't have any problems with nightstand sizing and everything would fit nicely on the solid wall. But alas, we have a king size and I opted for 24" nightstands. We recently bought them and it was already quite the challenge to find something that coordinated with the existing pieces and within a certain size. I am committed to these tables for the time being.

If I keep the new furniture placement, what can we do with the large wall?

@KW, my drapery is stationary. For privacy I have pull down shades.

Are there sheers or something there? Looks like a lighter color panel at edges. If not, maybe adding a sheer to that section only would have The same effect of softening the window & creating the soft wall. Wouldn’t be expensive to try out.

If you keep the current arrangement, I'd put a demilune (half-circle) bench on the long wall.

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.

Agree! Do you need a bench? If you do not need one, you could add tall art to the wall (a series of long, tall art).

@CDR, how big are we talking?!

Agree these two elements are too small for that wall. I wouldn't rush to fill the wall until I was certain the room layout functioned as I wished. (If it were my bedroom, I'd splurge on large scale art for that wall.)

Like this. But I would make sure you need the bench. Otherwise you can fill that wall with a series of tall, skinny pieces of art.

@CDR, thank you.

I like the feeling of walking in and nothing on that wall to bump into.

If you add art to this wall, I'd put a mirror over the dresser. Then, on the. current mirror wall, add a piece of art that is not a picture.

Personally, I get cold from sleeping next to a window. I prefer the "before" arrangement..

MGdecor, I had meant to say in my earlier posts that your ceiling light fixture is truly gorgeous!
