Design your dream bedroom

Want to create a bedroom you'll love for years, but don't know where to start? Here are some key points to consider

The ideal room
Make a list of what you want from a bedroom. Do you need a room you can escape to, watch TV, work or just sleep in? Do you want a really big bed or lots of storage? Do you like a particular look? Be realistic about what you can achieve in the space you have.


The plan
Start by sketching a plan of the structural elements, like the chimney breast, windows and doors – basically the things that can't be moved. Then experiment with the position of the key pieces – the bed, wardrobes, chests, remembering that you need space for drawers to open and to walk around the bed.
