layout for corner fireplace in bedroom
last year
last modified: last year
Hello!
We have a cozy corner fireplace in our bedroom and I would like to place either 1 or 2 reading chairs near it but am playing Tetris with the rest of my furniture pieces.
Where is the best place for this?
ideas:
- tuck a chair directly next to the fireplace
- low back chairs or low back cushion bench at foot of bed
- chairs or cushion bench on empty wall (issue with this is it would obstruct the walkway to bathroom; clutter room?
The rocking chair is not staying, but my husband and I stripped and stained the bedroom set so they aren’t going anywhere anytime soon :)
The highboy, however, is giving me the most trouble and would be willing to part ways!
Thank you!!

11' X 23' bedroom layout help please
Comments (6)This is a very awkward layout, especially with a King sized bed (which is going to be at least about 6' wide) Do you REALLY need both closets? Because my suggestion is to close off the closet in the upper left corner of your image entirely and put the back of your bed along that wall. You will have to move the bed quite close to the window side to leave clearance at the entry, so likely no nightstand will fit over there. What does the master bedroom "open into"? Because while I don't like pocket doors or barn doors on bedrooms, if there is enough privacy otherwise this might be a room where it needs one. It will a bit awkward coming in that room, even with the door swing the other way. If you can move the master bedroom door, that would be even better....See MoreBedroom layout & design - please help me!
Comments (18)if you kept everything all white, then I would look for a vintage dresser. like one of these walnut types. you can find these all over craigslist or thrift stores, yard sales, flea markets, etc. bargain for them. this room reminded me of your configuration. I love the black walls vintage type of armoire? more clothes storage and they use more vertical space. this isn't the best example, but it's a small room like you have. keeping things white w/lots of art. keep frames the same types. this is also a nook, but they put in a chest of drawers. another more feminine option. walls here are Pale Oak, BM. as for your nook. you would either put cleats on the wall (basically a small ledge all the way around so the wood or stone piece would set on it. with stone you would prob have to do two front legs as well for support. (either top a piece of plywood w/it, or use the piece w/brackets) not a big deal. just look up "how to do a desk nook", or something w/that wording. Pinterest will have more pics and links to how to's. if you find a desk that's 3' across, you could just inset it and use that. for instance, in my bathroom we installed a piece of marble for my makeup vanity. used a some heavy iron brackets rated at over 50lbs each. This marble piece weighs less than 100lbs, so it's fine. you could do 3 of the iron ones if you like. you can find these small remnants on craigslist or just go to a fabricators shop. they usually throw small pieces in the trash. (you would want whatever your width is, by about 12-14 inches deep) 20-40 bucks at the most for one of those remnants. marble, quartz, granite,,,you could use any of them. then just find a little chair, and put up 3 or 4 shelves from ikea, above it....See MoreOne odd Bedroom corner: any suggestion
Comments (3)Are you the only occupant of this bedroom? If so, I would put the bed parallel to the window but not centered on that long wall. A queen mattress is 60" wide x 80" wide (add inches depending on your bed frame). The bed could be 30" from the bathroom wall (small chest/nightstand) leaving approximately 4 feet on the side closest to the window. Since your room is so narrow and gets even narrower down toward the window end, this layout also helps ease the tightness at the wall jog outs. This larger space near the window might then accommodate a compact yet comfortable chair to take advantage of your view. On the other hand, you could move the bed closer to the window, leaving a larger area closer to your closet for dressing. Since your bathroom vanity is so small, you might want to add a dressing table on one or other sides of the bed for applying makeup and doing your hair. Without more information about you and your lifestyle, it is difficult to be more specific. If you'd like to be able to visualize layouts, get yourself some graph paper and cut out pieces of furniture to scale. This will give you a better sense of what each scenario would look like. Good luck with your new home!...See Moremodern cottage/waterfront kitchen, dining, bedroom and bath layout
Comments (3)I like the your style and you have noticeably given the space planning much thought. I miss my lake camp and can relate to your comments completely. Of course you need a local architect/contractor, as is seems the existing kitchen wall is structural. I've taken that into consideration with the layout. The bedroom entrances should be tucked away and not off the main living area, especially by the kitchen. Allow for a small vestibule into the primary bedroom and relocate the entrance to the guest room. I always liked the design and function of built in closets around the headboard and love your inspiration pic, The cabinets indicated in the primary bedroom are a full wall of 54" high drawer cabinets. You may consider doing that in the guest room also and eliminating the guest room closet altogether. The powder room in the back near the stairs should be eliminated and replaced with a full bath. The existing kitchen can be a bar/butlers pantry incorporating the refrigerator with a small wall of pantry closets across. The piece de resistance is the staircase you indicated. Here is my all time favorite staircase by Borsani in Milan. It's a sculpture, isn't it?! Consider extending the flooring from under the stair all the way to the end of the butlers pantry (to include the entrance to the guest room). Turn the stairs as shown in the pic. Gorgeous. I would love to see what your process is doing your design project and the final design. I'm following.

NO Highboy
Lighten up those walls! , de clutter the mantel......do you have want tv? Etc.
Don't over crowd with brown.....One or two chairs is up to you. A less bulky look would allow two, share ans ottoman you can put a tray on for wine or coffee

PRO12 months agoWe might suggest moving the highboy to the one wall with nothing on it, then you should be able to flank the fireplace with one or two chairs. We also might suggest getting a floor lamp or two depending on your needs.
