How to Place Furniture in a Long Narrow Bedroom
How To Layout And Decorate A Long, Narrow Bedroom
I'm sharing an online blueprint consultation I had with someone who had a long, narrow chamber. The bed and tv locations were set and couldn't be moved, simply she wanted to know how to adjust everything else, where to practice a photo collage, how to make her bed look more comfy and inviting, etc.
There's lots to unpack here, then let's dive in.

Hither are the images she sent.
This homeowner added on to their 1959 home and created the longer sleeping room. The actress room is really nice to accept, but she wondered how to lay it out to feel more full and more intentionally designed.
She didn't like the blank walls and wanted to put upwards a photo collage of family photos just didn't know where to put them.
She wanted to know what kind of rug to add to this room and then how to make the seating area and bed more comfy and inviting.
None of the furniture had to stay except the bed and telly.
Here was my advice for this long, narrow bedroom…..
First of all, I recall information technology would help to separate this room fifty-fifty more, into two different areas, visually, by adding another rug to the space. This will also aid soften the room and give that surface area down there some distinction.
I would take the rug y'all have, turn it a quarter plow, and put it downwardly in the seating expanse. (The rug is 12' long and the room a little over thirteen' wide, so it would fit nicely.)
Because it has a distinct centered pattern, it volition piece of work well out in the middle of the room.
Then you lot can go a companion type rug, something more solid (it will be by and large covered by the bed anyway), for the bed role of the room. I like something similar this, a neutral all-over small patterned rug.
A patterned, neutral rug would await proficient paired with the more than colorful blue rug with a centered distinct pattern in the room.
Equally yous enter the room, I call up you should remove the armoire (tall cabinet) as you lot walk in there. You lot have a more limited width in that room anyway, and information technology feels crowded there, visually.
I'd similar to see a very thin console, you can get them actually skinny, at 9-12" deep, and so they don't take up much space. That will footing your picture collage wall, that you can feature hither. Something similar this panel.
That'southward going to open up the view through to the seating surface area and your windows and make the bed surface area non experience as tight.
Seating Area Piece of furniture
Regarding the seating area, I recall one leather chair is enough for this space. I saw this Fairfield Chair, fabric recliner at Loftier Point Market place last yr and it is actually comfortable. I similar that it is geometric, in dissimilarity to the more than floral rug you have.
I think it would pair well with the gray recliner yous have there now.
Then, I'd do a floor lamp backside a round table. I know the recliners have to sit down away from the wall some, but this will aid to fill that space back there behind the tabular array a chip. One single large piece of fine art would exist overnice hither, to balance the other walls with groupings of pictures.
I honey this circular side table, I accept it myself. Information technology is merely the right size and the lower shelf is handy. The stop goes with everything and adds a touch of woods hither.
For the floor lamp, I like the brass finish on this lamp.
Here's an instance of a large art piece that could become behind these chairs, this 1 is five' wide, but you could practise iv' or and then.
And here's the sketch of the seating area.
Telly Wall Decor
For the tv wall, I'd get a taller dresser underneath and so lower the television set if at all possible, even 6" would assistance.
TV's that are really high up on the wall feel a niggling like a hospital to me, and then if you can go a console or dresser that is 42' loftier or more, that volition brand the height you similar there feel more than logical and less hospital-similar. I like this ane in the whitewashed finish and information technology is 55" tall. (Perchance you won't even take to lower the tv!)
This whitewashed dresser in a taller, 55" acme will balance the high location of the wall mounted tv in this sleeping accommodation update.
For the large bare space that is on the left side of the tv, yous could do a depression upholstered demote and and so a grouping of iv photos over at that place.
See my sketch of the television set wall.
Bed Wall Recommendations
Every bit far every bit making the bed surface area look more comfy, I'd go for some new nightstands. I think yours need to be taller and a painted stop would be prissy. I think they'd experience more useful and relate to the pendants ameliorate if they were taller.
These are both near xxx" tall, which is actually condign the new norm for nightstand height these days. Bank check the widths to see what would fit your bed wall best. I like the finishes on these ii.
A taller, painted nightstand will piece of work nicely in this bedroom update.
A 30" tall nightstand in a painted finish is a good choice for this sleeping accommodation update.
Regarding the bedding, I'd start with maybe going for some Euro shams in white with an edging. (3) of those behind the cream shams you have will requite a good backing to the other pillows there.
See this example in one of my projects.

3 Euro shams behind the king pillows provide a nice properties for the residual of the bedding.
A tailored bedskirt that matches the euro shams gives a more than coordinated expect.
Yous might consider reupholstering your bench, just because it looks a trivial pinkish to me. I don't mind the cream coverlet with the white bedding, but with the pinkish tone in the bench, it might be also many variations of whites together there that is causing a petty disruption.
If you reupholster, pick a solid or textured blue color cloth and I think the bed will expect well coordinated and inviting, on summit of the neutral carpet.
I think this room has some great potential for condign a welcoming retreat!
Some tweaking of furniture selections, wall decor and bedding will help pull this room together nicely.
