Door placements!

Hey All,

First time build, and looking for advice on door placements of our two spare bedrooms. Our home is being built, along with two development properties on the one block which means the wall of our spare rooms & bathroom are a party wall. We also have a narrow frontage so as a result the two spare rooms are only 2.6m wide.

Our main dilemma is with bedroom 3. We were hoping to make this our guest room, using the current queen bed we have but my partner is against putting beds under a window, and if we put the bed so the bed head is up against the party wall, there is very little room to walk past the bed. Yet, if we put the bed in front of the back wall (one that joins bathroom) the door will be right there possibly hitting the bed. So any suggestions at all will be appreciated!

Bedroom 2 isn't as big as a dilemma but still seeking any advice!

Thanks again!

    Hi Cassie,

    I think there's a couple of options there, each with pluses and minuses.

    1. Can you move the door to the other end of the room (max 1m from the window wall)? It would not be ideal to have a door opening in front of a window, but as a guestroom it's probably closed most of the time. That would allow you to have the bed centred on the end wall with enough space on both sides. You could have a table, little cabinet or an armchair on the window end.

    2. Bed against the window - depends on your bedhead and insulation. If the bedhead is low enough not to block the window it's okay. Just bear in mind that if there's any draught from the window your guests would get a sore back.

    3. Bed sideways along the long wall in the corner or anywhere along the wall - the bed would not work well for two people, one would have to climb over the other to get to the bed and making the bed is hard. The door is only 82cm (usually) and you would have 107cm space on the side so the door would not bang the bed but it would make the space look smaller and more like an afterthought.

    4. Bed against the long wall - no, too tight.

    I would move the door if I was you.

    Good luck for your building!

    a few door variations to consider and the same variations could be considered for the other bedroom.. the limited walkway around the bed in an occasional guest room will not need to be as spacious as a room used every day and the room can be made very welcoming with nice linen, a narrow bench (inside the wardrobe or at the end of the bed) to sit an open suitcase, a few pretty coathangers and a bedside lamp
