While designing a small bedroom, the owners may face the problem of placing a bed somewhere. Small and especially narrow rooms seem to have not enough space for it to still look good but I know the solution: place it at the window! If you hesitate that it’s a good idea, here are some proofs that it’s so.
Bed At Window Advantages
Placing a bed at the window will let you add nightstands on both sides and your small space will look bigger, and this is exactly what we want. Besides, thanks to such placement, you will be able to put some other things here, too. The window will flood the bed with light, so you will wake up easier. If the window creates a niche, for example, it’s a bay window, sleeping in such a nook will be cozier. A windowsill can be used for storage or as a nightstand.
