The possibilities are endless! You just need to measure the amount of space you have and think about your daily routines to make the form fit the function. Additional pieces like a trunk or bench could be placed at the foot of the bed for extra storage and seating. If you’re in a tight space, a small dresser could double as a nightstand on one side of the bed. Angling tall pieces won’t take up as much additional horizontal room and it will add interesting lines to your arrangement. A dresser is much easier to place diagonally, especially if it’s a tall armoire. Nightstands will fit easily on either side of the bed, or on one side depending on the width of the wall. If your headboard is flush against a wall you can fit more furniture into the surrounding area. A diagonal bed is unique, but more difficult to decorate around. If you have enough space, you could try putting your bed in a corner and extend it diagonally into the room. Look for a windowless wall (in case you have a tall headboard or want to purchase one later), or a large enough spot between two windows. To help avoid any frustrations later, start by choosing a spot for the biggest piece of furniture going in your bedroom: the bed. Now that you’ve chosen your foundational pieces, you’ll need to consider how you want to arrange them within your space.
