Where do plan to put the bed? i only see 1 window on the wall at top of diagram.

Once you decide where you want the bed, you could have a window on each side, where nightsands will be placed, or a higher window above the headboard of a bed.

You will also need to consider how the exterior will look

What else is going into the bedroom? Desk? Dresser or chest of drawers? Is it for a child?

I also see only one window.

Show us the floorplan and exterior elevations for the house.

Move the closet to the right side. Switch the door opening so it opens into the closet wall (as it does now). Keep a window in the back wall and middle of the right wall. There should be enough room. Alternately keep the window on the right wall, but center it in remaining wall space.

Depending on where the bed will be, you can either have a window on each side or a higher window over the headboard of a bed, for the nightstands.

What about your heating? Will it affect furniture placement and therefore window placement?

I hesitate to give advice when I do not know a sufficient amount of information about a project. The way the walls are illustrated, what appears to be a new wall built immediately beside an existing wall, closet drawn deeper than it needs to be, discussing windows that are not shown, the rest of the house not shown, not knowing what the site is like, etc; all contribute to insufficient information to provide useful advice.

Instead of playing 'twenty questions', I normally advise to seek a local architect to assist in designing something to meet your needs and respond to the site.

The plan is not only missing a window, if the width is 14 ft, the depth mut be about 11 ft instead of 14 ft and the closet is deeper than it needs to be.

The first rule of problem solving is to define the problem so everyone can participate.

We had a licensed Architect draw up these plans. It is a 4th bedroom/office that is built as a hurricane safe room. That's the reason for a double wall. A new block wall that attaches to the existing 2x6 wood house. This picture shows the new room, new hallway, and reconfiguration of a different bedroom closet along with where it is oriented to the house. To see the entire page, click on picture.

This home is in South Florida near the coast hence the saferoom. Need help with the following:

1)Several comments state the closet is larger than it needs to be. How large should a bedroom closet be?

2)I'm inclined to make a change on the location of the windows towards one side of the wall or the other so the headboard will not be in front of a window. The bed would most likely be king-size. May do a murphy bed as the room will daily be used as a home office. Do not care that viewing from the outside, the windows are not centered. Care more about the placement of the furniture in the room.

Where on the walls should windows be located?

Heat and A/C drop will be in the ceiling.

3) Room will have a king bed or murphy bed, 1 or 2 nightstands, a wicker desk, and chair, and a tall cabinet with glass doors.

Thank you in advance for any comments.

You don't gain anything by having the closet deeper than the standard 2 foot dimension, so that will give you an extra foot in the bedroom. A king bed would fit on the left side blank wall, but there would only be room for one nightstand given the closer door arrangement. There's no good reason to not center the windows unless furniture placement dictates. Cut out some pieces of paper to the scale of your drawing representing the furniture you want in the room and move them around to find a layout that works. This will inform you whether or not the windows should be relocated.

Most restful, secure sleep is attained when the bed is placed opposite the entry door. I would flank the entry door with two shallow reach-in closets decked out with an efficient closet system so you won't need any chests, dressers, etc. Might not be as large as these but would be more reasonable to furnish them, maybe as his and hers.

I don’t think you should put the bed in front of the window. If its truly a safe room, I would probably eliminate at least one window and maybe even both. All bedrooms in my home have 3-4 windows so I personally can’t really imagine that, but this doesn’t sound like a room that would be used often so the extra piece of mind might be worth that sacrifice. If you are to keep windows, I would figure out where you are likely to put the bed and put tbe windows on one wall on either side od the bed (at height above nightstands).

Thank you for your comments. I see beds in front of windows all the time and I don't like this look. The 2 windows are impact, hurricane resistant. When we lose power for days or weeks, windows make all the difference.

How does this room impact the light in the room that is next to the kitchen?

Light from this room will not impact the adjacent room next to the kitchen as there is an 8' interior hallway to get to this new room.
