bed placement in the eaves?

2 months ago

Awkward bedroom.
Previous owner had the bed in the pic with the actual bed in but for holiday guests, there is restricted headroom for the person on the left side.
The only other place I can think to put it is with the head under the actual slope but depending on how far back it can go (??) - to bend to get in and out of bed - depends on the walkway space at the foot and sides.
Can't do any major alterations at the moment as the en suite is already being replaced but can't really move that elsewhere and the head can't go anywhere else along the bathroom wall as its not wide enough.
Ie even if we put the entrance to the bathroom opposite the main entrance door and put the bed head against the current bathroom door area - people can't walk around the bottom of the bed then (window) end due to low beams.
Pic of my hand is where I (5'3") can walk under for reference.
So
- best to leave where its always been?
Or
- head under the eaves? If this option - how far under can I go for two adults to use it?
Thank you!

Here's what I've found after living in and visiting many tract homes- LR-13x18 FR-12x16 (and that they not be in the middle of the traffic flow pattern aka many tract homes post ww2 till about the late 50's) Kitchen (no eating area) 9x11 DR/Nook or other eating area 10x10 Entry-at least 3'6" wide 4' better Bedrooms (good design would at least provide 2 good bed walls aka no doors or windows in it) MBR-12x13 w/ at least 10 linear feet of closets All other bedrooms-10x10 with at least 5 linear ft of closets all closets 2' deep, Baths-5x8 but 5x9 better if fixtures lined up on one wall and tub/shower at end 7x8 and 8x8 with the tub/shower fully accessible if it's 5 ft long 6x8 if it's a 3' shower (fixtures lined up on 2 opposite walls). If you look and many floor plans the best ones will have all of this. Note that square footage does not have to be a lot-ciculation/flow between rooms helps this.

Not necessarily. Sometimes you might want to embellish a headboard, so then that is where a wallpaper panel (not even the whole wall) could be; or you might have a large space that you face from your bed - all these factors play into the design placement. All the best for this project

Gosh, I've returned after a week travelling for work to loads more suggestions - thanks all! To respond specifically: - the house faces south so gets the lovely morning (and in the uk, sometimes the only) sun. - the husband has avoided putting plants in the planters due to maintenance and they're generally twee so comments here have confirmed to me that they will be coming out - love the idea of wooden boxes with the spiky plants and grasses - also like the concept of taking out the grass/bed/tree in front completely out and replacing with slabs - yes to lightening the windows - to the Barn company, I honestly don't mind the advice and I'd never seen sloping garage roofs. - nicking ideas from landscaping of new builds....great idea! - finally, Helen Scholes, I'm embarrassed about the spelling of kerb. Had no idea! Thanks again all.

Hello Houzz Ireland, We are currently renovating a 1960's build - so as you know, there is a lot of decisions to be made!! So it would be nice to get some gems of advice from the experts to help us through this daunting task. Areas where we would really like some inspiration for - small bathroom downstairs. I would really like to do something fun with this room and although small, I think it could work really well with some funky wallpaper or possibly tiles?! I'm just not sure what to do with it. Also - pulling a whole house together?! Where do we start? We have the bigger pieces of furniture but how do I know what nest of tables goes best with a suite? Or what accessories will bring a room together? I'm due a second baby in 2 weeks time so any help at this stage would be so amazing - to guide me on the right interior design path for our new house. Thanks, Laurie
