Your bedroom may be the most important room in your house. It is the place where you sleep, so it is important that you can relax properly. In addition, you naturally want to furnish your bedroom in a practical way so that you can easily walk through it in your daily routine. It's easy to beautifully decorate your room without compromising on your personal style. Here are some tips you can use to arrange the furniture in your bedroom in an attractive and functional way.

Part 1 of 2: Making a plan for the interior

1. View the room layout. Before you buy new furniture or try to place furniture in the bedroom, it is important to know how the bedroom is arranged. The placement of the windows and the dimensions of the walls affect the way you arrange your furniture. When looking at the layout, keep the following things in mind:
   • The dimensions of the walls. Use a tape measure to measure the walls exactly.
   • The places where the sockets and telephone connections are located. You need the sockets to connect your alarm clock, lamps, television and other devices.
   • The place where the cable connection is located. You will have to place the television where the cable connection or satellite connection is located, or drill new holes and re-route the cables (it is best to leave this to your TV provider or another trained professional).
   • The places where the windows are located. Look in which walls there are windows, at what height they are and how many windows there are.
   • Closets and other doors. Look in which walls there are doors, where the cupboard is located and in which walls there are no doors and windows.
2. Measure the furniture. Determine which furniture you want to place in your bedroom. Measure that furniture and compare the dimensions with the dimensions of your bedroom. Before you put heavy furniture in your bedroom, it is important to determine whether your furniture will fit in the room.
3. Be aware of the bedroom door. Take the area around the bedroom door into account when planning your bedroom decor. Make sure nothing is blocking this place. Don't plan to arrange furniture so that it blocks the bedroom door. Make sure the door has enough space to open completely.
4. List the ways you plan to use your bedroom. Sleeping is an obvious activity, but many people spend more time in their bedroom than just at night. Are you planning to watch TV or read a book in your bedroom? Do you dress here, apply your make-up here and style your hair here? Is the bedroom intended for one or two people? Is it your own bedroom or a guest room? These things determine what furniture you need.
5. Furnish the room with appropriately sized furniture. Take into account how much living space you have.Do you live in a small apartment with a small bedroom or do you have a spacious house with a large, open room? Large bedroom furniture may not be practical in a small apartment, while a small bed and desk may seem strange in a larger space. Match the furniture to the size of the room and make sure it fits the space you have.
6. Be true to your personal style. Some people like a modern, minimalist design, while others prefer a fuller, cozier design. Some people like bare walls, while others prefer to hang a lot of photos and pictures. Don't forget that your bedroom is your place. You want to furnish the space functionally, of course, but you also want to reflect your personality and taste and ensure comfort.

Part 2 of 2: Setting up the furniture

1. Start with the bed. The bed is generally the most important piece of furniture in a bedroom, which means that it is the most important piece of furniture to put in the right place. A popular place for the bed is in the center of the wall opposite the door, so that the bed becomes the center of the room. Another good choice is to place your bed along the longest wall in the bedroom.
   • If you don't have space to put the bed in the middle of the wall opposite the door or if there are windows and doors there, you can move the bed somewhere else along one of the walls. You can also place the headboard in one of the corners so that the bed is tilted, but that way the bed takes up a lot of space.
   • You can also place the bed between two windows if you have a wall with two windows in it. It may be better not to put the bed under the window itself, especially if you often leave your windows open during the warmer months. As a result, you may suffer from an unpleasant draft.
   • Leave enough space around the bed so that you can get in and out of the bed easily. If you are the only one sleeping in the bed, you can put the bed against a wall. If you are sleeping in the bed with someone else, it is important to leave enough space on both sides of the bed so that both of you can get in and out of the bed easily.
   • Try not to block the natural light with the headboard.
2. Then think about the chest of drawers. For many people, the chest of drawers is the second largest piece of furniture in the bedroom after bed. Place the chest of drawers directly opposite the bed so that the room is balanced. Choose a low, wide chest of drawers if you have a lot of space along the walls.
   • If you want to watch television, you can put your television on the chest of drawers. The television should be opposite the bed if you plan to watch a lot of television in bed. By putting the television on the chest of drawers, you don't need an extra table for it. If you don't want to watch television but read a lot, use the chest of drawers as a bookshelf.
   • If you have limited space, opt for a tall, vertical chest of drawers instead of a wide chest of drawers. You make use of the height and the cabinet takes up less of the wall.
   • You can choose to place your chest of drawers under a window to make the best use of the available space.
   • If your wardrobe is large enough or you have a small room, you can also put the chest of drawers in the wardrobe.
3. Put bedside tables next to the bed. After you have placed the two largest pieces of furniture, you can fill the room with smaller pieces of furniture. Bedside tables are especially important. You can put or put alarm clocks, lamps, books, remote controls, cell phones, glasses of water and other things you might need while in bed. Place the nightstands on either side of the bed (or just a nightstand on one side if the bed is along the wall). Buy a nightstand that is the same height as your mattress.
   • Bedside tables are available in various shapes, sizes and colors. Think about what you want to use your nightstand for. Do you need shelves? Load? Just a small table? Choose a nightstand that suits your needs.
4. Determine if you have room for more furniture. After you have placed the above pieces of furniture, see if you have room for other pieces of furniture. Also consider what other things you need in your bedroom. Do you need a desk to work on? Do you want a chair to read and relax in? Finish decorating your bedroom with the furniture that meets your needs.
   • Set up a desk with a chair in the room. You can buy a flat desk that you can place along an empty wall or under a window, or go for a corner desk that fits right in a corner and doesn't get in the way.
   • Place an ottoman at the foot of the bed to have an extra seat, or put a small armchair in the room for visitors to sit in or sit in to relax.
   • Have a mirror in your bedroom. The mirror can be part of a dressing table, placed on the desk or hung on the wall.
   • Set up bookcases. If you need shelves for books, photos and other items, put a bookcase against an empty wall.
   • Make a place to sit. In a small room you can put something as simple as a stool or bench. In a large bedroom you can put a chair or sofa to sit on.
5. Place lamps in different places in your bedroom. You don't need bright lights when you're trying to relax, so consider placing lights where you read, watch TV, or relax. You can hang lamps on the ceiling or on the wall or opt for floor lamps.
6. Consider using multifunctional furniture pieces. If you have a small bedroom, consider buying multifunctional pieces that save space. Try a loft bed with a desk underneath, or a bed with storage space underneath if you don't have room for a chest of drawers.
7. Provide space around your furniture. Don't make the room so cluttered that you don't have enough space to walk around the room or to other rooms. Keep at least two feet between the edges of the bed and the wall and other furniture.
