Am now redecorating a bedroom having finally replaced the 30 year old radiator with a brand new one which gives of vastly more heat
Had to lift old wrecked carpet and some floorboard sections for new pipework etc etc.
Anyway.............
I was going to put a double bed in, but that's most of the space then take up, so now thinking a Single will be just more practical and easier to deal with.
As I do like space in a room I've been thinking about putting this future single bed with it's side against a wall to leave space in the room.
The old, and more normal idea would of course be the headboard against the wall.
Which I can do, and then you just have the bed taking up the middle of the room, with space either side of the bed.
Due to window/radiator/build in wardrobe positioning this would mean the bed would be in the middle of the wall and not pushed into either corner.
I've dragged a spare mattress into the two locations I'm considering in, and would appreciate your thoughts.
I assume if I were to go with the 'side of the bed against the wall' approach then you can get bedframe designs that don't have a top/bottom/headboard as such, as it would look weight with a headboard at one end.
Normal? Layout - bed taking up the room:
Alternative layout, bed against wall, leaving usable space in the room:
