It’s tight but can work. Ours is 14.5x13.4 and we have a king, two end tables and a dresser.

The first and foremost question that should be asked when designing a bedroom is, "What size bed?"

Has construction started?

Construction has started- the concrete is already poured so I don’t think I can really change that at this point. Wondering if moving the windows out just a bit further would help at all but I don’t want them too far into the corner
I can change the doors but the plumbing is already in - and the doors will probably be open 99% of the time. I like the drama of the two doors to the tub and think it will be better to have small doors so there is room between them and the bed when they swing open.

Start the list of things you will do different for the next house you build, or hire a competent local architect from the start.

Jennifer since you are already in framing it’s true some stuff can’t change but lots can it you are open to it. It’s also fine if you aren’t. It’s fine to be happy with what you have and make it work too.

I would reduce the width of the two windows on the wall opposite the entry so your bed will fit between them. I would also reposition the two windows on the right wall - if the bed was intended to go on the back wall, why are the windows on the right wall shoved into the corners with one of them ending up mostly behind the entry door when it’s open? It’s a huge room. What do you plan to do with all the space to the left of the entry?

"[I] think it will be better to have small doors so there is room between them and the bed when they swing open."

They swing into the bathroom.

Usually it is best to swing one door when entering a room instead of two doors, unless you are a gun slinger entering a saloon to defend the honor of the innocent dance hall girl.

Take your floor plan and draw in the furniture to see if it works in the space. Changing the windows will change the outside, and maybe not in a good way. Or place the bed between the windows on the other wall--there seems to be more room there. The downside of that is you're walking into the side of the bed when you enter the room.

Just know that a good architect will usually do a furniture plan when designing a house so you don't run into problems like this.

That’s a pretty big downside. Walking into the head of the bed is certainly not desirable. Surely, in a new build, you can do better.

Obviously this is not even remotely to scale but this could work. We have our king on the side that is 14.5’ in our room. You can have your bed on the wall and the dresser on end. There will actually be space for end tables too.

I don’t think anyone is suggesting that the king bed won’t fit on the wall. The problem is the placement of the windows, which would be partially covered by the bed frame.

And window coverings could easily solve that. Also the OP could look at their exterior elevation and see if a change to windows might work. There are many options

Know that the dimensions shown on the partial floor plan are from the centerline of interior walls and to the exterior of exterior walls. So the 14'-6" dimension shown on the plan translate to a finished room dimension of 13'-11 3/4" or 13'9 3/4" at best.

Yep and one room is the same. On the plan that shows the interior size of the room we are actually much smaller too and it still works. If this home wasn’t already in progress would make sense to dramatically change it, if possible, but it is, ls unlikely they can add feet to the room dimensions.

Thank you all for help on brainstorming this!
I am disappointed that I didn’t think of bed placement before and the architect didn’t think to ask.
I already told the builder we want the doors to swing the other way since they (or it) will always be open and I don’t want it to block off the view and open feeling in the bathroom.
I think we will either ask the builder his thoughts on smaller windows on that side of the room (and probably the other wall also for symmetry) or just roll with it because we will have window coverings that I think will probably hide most of the issue anyways. This is definitely going to be on my list of things to ask when/if we build again.

"I am disappointed that I didn’t think of bed placement before and the architect didn’t think to ask."

The designer should have thought about furniture placement regardless of whether you asked or not.

Hi! My husband and I are currently building our first home. This is the footprint for the master. After going out and measuring I am not sure we made enough space for our king bed to fit between the windows where I had planned to put it. I was planning to place it opposite the entry door. Any thoughts or suggestions?

Our bedroom is 13' wide, and our king bed fits just fine -- and we have medium-large night tables on each side. Your space is slightly larger, so you will have no problem, especially since you don't have any doors right by the head of the bed.

The windows are fine -- and you're fortunate to have windows on two sides. I don't have a problem with the windows "overlapping" the bed a bit, so long as it's symmetrical; in fact, I personally like double windows BEHIND the bed -- partially because it's kind of a vintage look, but also because I like to read first thing in the morning, and I'd like the morning sun pouring onto my book. Here's a window/bed picture I have stored in my "I like this thing" file.

Other thoughts:

- Consider backing the entry door up a few feet like the sketch below. This means that when the door is "parked", it will be in its little entryway and won't block a window. It also means the doorknob won't knock the window /potentially break it.

- The utility door will stay open almost always, so it would be a great spot for a pocket door.

- Given that it's on an interior wall, how will the dryer vent? An interior dryer is hard to keep cleaned of lint, and -- if not cleaned -- this is a fire hazard.

- From the bit we can see, I'm thinking you have a long hallway containing a switchback stair, the bedroom door, and a couple other things. But the only access to these important items is one small 3' opening. I'd think you'd want a view of the large, expensive staircase. Enlarging and/or moving the opening closer to the utility room and bedroom would save steps.

- Is the powder room square? If so, I'd consider turning the toilet and sink so that they "share" a wall with the washer/dryer. This would keep your water-items all in one wall; this would be a money-saver and would limit the number of walls that could potentially hold leaks.

Is it too late to change the bathroom double doors to a single door?

Changing to a single door would be a positive.

I like the drama of the two doors to the tub and think it will be better to have small doors so there is room between them and the bed when they swing open.

I don't see "drama". I see a door that takes two hands to open and a light switch that falls behind a door and is awkward to reach.

It’s a huge room. What do you plan to do with all the space to the left of the entry?

It does look like wasted space, but I'm not fond of big bedrooms -- I'd rather put that space into other areas of the house.

If this home wasn’t already in progress would make sense to dramatically change it, if possible, but it is, ls unlikely they can add feet to the room dimensions.

You don't need to add space to this already-large bedroom. It's plenty big for what you plan.

I already told the builder we want the doors to swing the other way since they (or it) will always be open and I don’t want it to block off the view and open feeling in the bathroom.

I'd think about how that'll function. If you do it, make sure you have Swing Clear Offset hinges, which will allow the doors to lay flat against the wall /not block access to the left side of the bed.

Omg! Thank you all so much! I wish I would have posted here earlier in the process! I’m such a noob!
@Mrs.Pete
I appreciate the feedback on the windows.
We have added a door to the exterior in that little nook close to the utility room since finalizing plans But I love that idea and still may see if we have room to pull that door back

Totally agree about utility pocket door.

I have no idea about the dryer vent- another thing I assumed the architect and builder would be watching out for.

We are already framing and plumbing has been roughed in (idk if that’s the proper way to say that) so we can’t change the location of the powder bath toilet and sink.

I’ll consider changing to a single door in the bathroom and ask about the swing clear offset hinges.

I put a photo of the rest of that section of the house if you guys want to help make any other suggestions before I get too far in 😂

Thank you so much!

This is also an extremely rough plan on what I’m thinking for furniture.
Our closet is so big I don’t think we will need a dresser- so I also have a seating option 🤷🏻‍♀️

Bathroom door should swing into the washroom

Is that a queen or double size bed?

Will you be enlarging the bedroom width by 1'-2 1/4" to achieve the 15'-0" shown?

A king will fit on that wall easily too. With two side tables no problem.

It will be a king bed- I just need to edit the dimensions to be exactly 14’6

Just for reference to show you. Our bed is on the wall that I just measured at 13’ so smaller than what’s on our plans by a lot and the dresser is on the side that is 13.5’. It all fits just fine. We have a king sized bed

"I just need to edit the dimensions to be exactly 14’6" "

Your finished inside dimension of the space will be about 13'-9 3/4" (face of drywall to face of drywall) if there is a 2x6 exterior wall.

The space between the windows shown will be about 6'-0". Your bed's headboard will cover a portion of the windows.

Thanks Mark- dang… you’re hired haha
