How to Decorate With a Bed in the Corner

The focal point of the bedroom is the bed. One way to make the bed even more the focus, is to position it in the corner. Positioning the bed in the corner will make the bed appear to float in the room, because it is not up against the wall. This layout will take up a lot of space, so be sure your room is large enough to accommodate the bed position. The larger the bed, the more space it will take up in a corner. Twin and full beds fit better in a corner, with queen and king sizes needing larger rooms. Go overboard with your bedding and pillows to ensure the layout is grand. Does this Spark an idea?

Instructions

1

Position bed in corner. Before adding any additional furniture or accessories, see how the bed fits and how much space you will have on each side and behind the bed.

2

Hang a mosquito netting canopy in the corner slightly behind the bed from the ceiling. This is a very romantic look and works well in corner applications. Another option is to ceiling mount a drapery rod and with drapery behind the bed.

3

Install swing-arm wall lamps on either side of the bed. With the bed in the corner, there is little room on either side to place side tables even with the bed. With swing-arm wall lamps, you will have the convenience of night lights and have them close to the bed.

4

Place a ottoman, table or trunk at the foot of the bed. This will serve as a place to undress and as storage for items that would normally be kept in bedside tables.

5

Use a round rug on the side of the bed. A round rug will soften the straight angles of the bed and trunk and the room design overall.

6

If you prefer bedside tables, use a round one. Let the size of the room dictate how large a table you use. You can use tables lamps or utilize the wall lamps to free up space on the table.
