DESIGN PROCESS

  • Layout

    • Figure our what the best wall the bed(s) should be on. You will need a minimum of space

      • ___” for a king bed with 2 bedside tables that are 24”W

      • ___” for a queen with 2 bedside tables that are 24”W

      • ___” for a full with 2 bedside tables that are 24”W

      • ___” for a twin with 2 bedside tables that are 24”W

      • ___” for 2 twins with 1 bedside tables that are 24”W

      • __” for 2 fulls with 1 bedside tables that are 24”W

    • If you plan on having a TV in the space it is often best for that to be across from the bed. Take that into consideration when choosing your layout

    • Make sure you can open all doors, including closet doors and drawers and that they will not hit the furniture.

    • Decide on what the focal point of the room is: A fireplace, TV, Builtins.

    • From there you will layout your furniture on the axis of the Focal point.

    • Symmetry. You can never go wrong with centering the furniture on the main focal point like the fireplace. Center the ottoman or coffee table off the focal point and then give 14” of space off the table/ottoman for the sofas and or chairs. (DIAGRAM). See images of room layout with or comments on the pros and cons of the space so that you can make your decision.

      • Material

        • Bedside tables can get a lot of wear and tear so choose something that can handle it or consider putting a piece of glass over it.

      • Storage Think about what you want to keep in the table.

        • Drawers - great when. you have a lot of small items that you like to store or small books

        • Open Shelves - These are very helpful when you like to keep stacks of books and magazines.

        • Combination of both-

        • Open Base, This can be such a beautiful clean look, just make sure you have a place for your stuff so you don’t feel like you always have clutter on the tabletop.

        • Stationary - When selecting the location of the box make sure that you consider the width and height of the headboard. (EXPAND)

        • Reading - For an avid reader, this is a really great thing to do. Really think if this will have a metal shade(only emits light down) or a paper/fabric shade that can emit light throughout. Consider how much additional light is in the room.

        • Decorative sconce with table lamp can be stunning, just make sure to pick a pair that works together. See gallery.

  • Area Rug

    • Size

      • One large area rug to pull the space together is always a good thing. We recognize that can be very expense depending on the size. One of the ways that you can still get a large rug is by dong it as a natural fiber rug (store bought or custom) as they can be on the less expensive side and then layer a smaller area rug (smallest being 5x8) that has pattern and texture under the seating area. This can also be nice as they are softer under foot, a natural fiber rug can be scratchy underfoot. Also go to a local rug store, tell them the rug size you need and your budget to see if there are options that can work for you. We often have our rugs made with a 6” reveal off all walls, except if there is a floor vent and then it must come out1”-2” past the front of the vent for clearance.

      • If having a large rug is our of the question then you will determine what standard size rug will work in the space.

        • Standard Rug Sizes: 10 x 14, 9 x 12, 8 x 10, 5 x 8,,

      • Furniture placement on a rug: All of the main furniture does not have to sit on the rug, though we like it to, we advise that the front legs must sit on the rug as 2/3 f the depth of the piece should also sit over the rug. The dull sofa length should always lay on the rug with a minimum of 4” of rug on either side of the sofa (DIAGRAM)

Tips

  • Leave around 3” between the outside of the headboard and the side table to give a little space and make room for a comforter.

  • When we are given a choice we prefer a duvet with cover over a printed comfortable any day f the week.
