edit (this was supposed to be my option B, i done goofed up)

Measurements (in cms, roughly):

Room is 290x290 (118 x 118 in)

Table is 160x80 (and a bit for the chair, used a rug in place of chair in the image) (62 x 31 in)

Bed is 228x141 (88 x 55 in)

I need some help w arranging furniture in my room. I believe my room is 290cm x 290cm (and a bit for the door entrance). Room has mirror BIRs on one side and windows on the other side.

Option A would mean very little room to walk but option B is pushing one side of the bed towards the wall. Note that the bed has drawers on both sides so that also means no access to drawers on one side (i can potentially live with that). Does option B make more sense for me? Also gives me a lot more room to play with.

Edit 3: gone with option B. This is the room without the bed (arriving tomorrow). Excuse my busy table. Might shift out the IKEA Alex drawer in the future. https://aussie.zone/pictrs/image/a4f8e31d-6ae9-4198-b356-b5c4ad77d1f2.jpeg

Assuming the windows are on the wall to the left of the door on entry, I would give some thought to flipping the bed through 180 degrees as per revised option B so it faces away from the window. Depending on how much you like lying in bed staring out the window or at the mirror robes. Then the Alex drawer can be put next to the head end and be your bedside table but will still be accessible to the desk. It will help screen your bed from the doorway too. Moving the bed from being jammed up against a wall/window at the head/foot end could make quite a difference to usability. It'll simplify changing sheets quite a lot if you can easily access both head and foot of the bed. Even if the access is only 30 cm or so. Opens up access to the full width of the mirror robe too.

On the left side of the door are the BIRs and the windows are opposite (see last photo) but point noted!

Not much room for a reading chair either way. B is a bit less cluttered, but very much a one person layout. Don’t know if I could sleep facing a mirror.

[–] fullkitwanker@aussie.zone 1 points 11 months ago

Just updated option B. It is a one person layout! Also good points on sleeping facing the mirrors, hadn't thought of that. I might just leave one side of the mirrors open so as to see less of myself, but i reckon B (or the updated B now) is less noisy

[–] TuxOfStars@beehaw.org 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I reckon option b is the winner too. I nearly did the same except I do a lot of zoom stuff and hate fake backgrounds and hate the idea of people seeing my messy bed! For now I have poked the desk into my living room.

[–] fullkitwanker@aussie.zone 1 points 11 months ago

Yeah I'm not entirely sure what would be an appropriate background for work calls so I'm keeping it safe 😅
