Galley (Corridor) A galley kitchen is a long and narrow kitchen configuration with a central walkway. In this streamlined design, two walls facing each other have all of the kitchen services. A galley kitchen includes cabinetry, countertops, and appliances built along one wall, or a double galley configuration where those elements are lined up on opposite walls. When space is narrow and limited (such as in condos, small homes, and apartments), it's common to see the corridor or galley-style layout used as a practical solution.

Bedroom + Clothing Storage Many bookworms wish to retreat to their bedrooms for some quality reading time. "If the size of the room allows for it, it's great to add a seating area with a chair, ottoman, and/or side table,” "Place a comfortable chair and side table under or closest to a window for the natural light and views, if any." Those who enjoy TV in the bedroom will want to design their space to maximize viewing -and those who wish to save laying in bed for nighttime will want alternative seating. "Having a pair of chairs or settee at the foot of the bed makes a cozy set up for TV entertainment." Not all bedroom closets are sizable enough to accommodate a resident's entire wardrobe, particularly if two people are sharing a space.4. Bedroom + Home Office aK : 5. Bedroom + Vanity Some bedroom layouts will naturally lend themselves to setting up a workstation. "A writing desk tucked in a bay window creates a work zone and draws natural light to increase productivity," a designer says. However, a small office space can still be achieved in bedrooms with less square tootage. Placing a desk beside the bed and allowing it to double as a nightstand is quite common in more petite bedrooms. Many bedrooms feature a vanity, which eliminates the need to travel back and forth to the bathroom in order to style hair or apply makeup. A vanity can be placed in an empty, light- filled corner, but just as is the case with a desk, a vanity may be styled to also serve as a nightstand if needed.A bed flanked by two nightstands is a common peggy sett when space allows, given that the bedroom 6. Nightstand Minimalism serves as a valuable storage space for everyday essentials. "Having bedside tables with storage is paramount,” says a designer. "I need a place for books, a notebook, and all the provisions needed for a good night's rest.” Tuck your clothes into the closet and keep the rest of the space clear for a 7. Bedroom Fireplace minimalist oasis. ee "When a bedroom features a fireplace-or even a nonworking mantel-you will want to station the bed so that it is facing this area. The mantel is a great area over which to mount a TV or lean a mirror or oversized artwork. Place a comfy chair next to the fire for a cozy spot to relax. If a bedroom features two beds but is on the smaller side, it is best to place a nightstand between the two beds. More spacious rooms can accommodate a nightstand to the left of the lefthand bed and to the right of the righthand bed. The middle space between the two beds can be left empty, or something smaller such as a basket or plant can sit in between.Sometimes, the only space in which a bed can fit is directly in front of the windows. Curtains then become a key component of the design-they must be well made to block out light streaming directly into the room and should also complement a room's aesthetics. 9. Bed in Front of Windows In a studio apartment, the bedroom may consist solely of a bed and maybe one nightstand. A chic room divider can serve as a means to section off a sleep space ! from the rest of the unit and will discourage guests from wandering into this sacred spot. If you want a bedroom that serves as a kid-free zone for you and your spouse to hang out, ample seating will be necessary. Positioning accent chairs so that they face toward the bed, and not away from it, makes a room designed for conversation (as opposed to TV-watching) feel more open. 11. Bedroom + Social SpaceA shared headboard for a pair of twin beds in a kids' room or guest room will create a built-in feel that anchors the layout of the room. In this twin bedroom Interior Design, a long wall-mounted pale blue velvet headboard and matching linens create a unified look. Define zones in a larger bedroom with area rugs. This spacious bedroom suite includes plenty of room between the large king-sized | bed anchored against one far wall and the dedicated lounge space on the other side. The sofa faces away from the bed to create a sense of separation, anchored by an area rug anchored over the existing carpet that adds soft texture and helps it to feel like its 1g. Lounge Space With Area Rug iS > own space. Add a window seat to your bedroom or a kids' room to create a relaxing place to hang out that isn't the bed. This minimalist space Interiors includes a bay window seat with built-in storage beneath it to hide clutter. The room is large enough for an adjacent reading corner with an armchair, a side table, and a lamp. 14. Bed + Window Seat17. Bunk Beds In a kids’ or a teen's room, maximize floor space for playing with a day bed. In this room Interiors, a daybed is placed against the long side wall, and includes extra throw pillows and blankets to make it a cozy place to read or hang out with friends during the day, while also leaving plenty of room to race around a toy car or play games. Create a dramatic focal point in a primary bedroom or large guest suite with a monumental freestanding headboard, like this wrap-around channel tufted headboard that accommodates a pair of nightstands and creates a room-within-a-room feel in the spacious bedroom. Ina smaller space, consider floating a bed in a four-poster bed frame in the center of the room rather than pushing it up against a wall to create a light and airy feel. Save space in a shared kids' bedroom with a pair of bunk beds’, If you are looking for a space-saving way to layout twin beds in one room without using a bunk bed, consider arranging the beds along the walls of a corner of the room and adding a shared nightstand in between.Bedroom Layout Consideration Size Consider room size when choosing how much furniture to include. Asmall bedroom may only have the space for a bed and wall-mounted nightstands and lighting. A medium-sized room may include room for a dresser or an armchair, while a larger primary bedroom can include a lounge space with a small loveseat or a pair of armchairs in front of a fireplace. Shape Bedrooms come in varying shapes, from squares to long rectangular and irregular layouts in older homes that may include sloping ceilings and alcoves. Start by deciding the best placement for the bed so that it is easy to access. Depending on the layout, this may be anchored against a far wall or coming out from a side wall. Doors and Windows Make sure that there is a clear pathway to the bed and furniture from the main bedroom door. In a primary bedroom with an en suite bathroom, be sure that the bathroom entrance is unobstructed. Workaround architectural elements like windows when considering furniture placement and decor such as art and mirrors.Bedroom Layout Consideration Use - Consider whether the bedroom will be used exclusively for sleeping; will require a desk for studying or working from home; or is large enough to include a reading nook or a lounge space with a TV. - If the room is devoted to sleeping, make the bed the focal point, choosing the largest and most comfortable size available. - If you are designing a bedroom office, consider the best placement for a desk, or install a space-saving wall desk. - If your bedroom includes a reading nook or entertainment space, decide where you plan to hang the TV and place a reading corner near a window (or consider a window seat).Bathroom Layout‘Small 48-Square-Foot fT ~ 5 60-Square-Foot Which Bathroom Layout Is Right Fun and Simple Kids Bath for You? i For an Awkward Room ShapeBath with Bump-Out Alcove for Tub Bathroom With Alcove Tub and Surround i Large Bathroom Plan With Open Floor Space Which Bathroom Layout Is Right Tiny 17-Square-Foot 64-Square-Foot Bath With a Private ToiletSmall 48-Square-Foot Full Bathroom ‘Small and smart are the names of the game in this bathroom layout, which effectively fits a toilet, tub, and sink—all ina mere 48 square feet.

Sink Placement: Sinks should be at least 4 inches away from tubs, according to most building codes. Lighting: Lighting over bathtubs and showers must be vapor- and waterproof.
