actually did you consider doing a WIW instead?

the space between your bed and the window, at the bathroom door

you can use glass door so it allows light into your bedroom

Skywolf & Ranval: It's a matter of preference about whether having a platform bed or not but like I mentioned before, the cons does outweigh the pros in a way. If we'd do the comparisons that is :-

Pros:

1. Don't need to spend $ on bedframe. Only the mattress + bedsheets + mattress protector that all.

2. Can shift mattress to anywhere. Less heavy to lift compared to bedframe.

3. More space saving & cosier sleeping close to the floor esp if its on laminate/paraquet floor

Cons:

1. Bad for asthmatic people & those with sinus problems

2. More chances of health problems primarily to dusts accumulating underneath and all around.

3. Not good for pregnant women. Need support to get up and lie down also with a heavy tummy.

4. Dust, dirt can fly to bedsheets faster than those with beframe 'cos walking around with bare feet will inevitably be dirty & especially for those who love eating in bed.

5. Must do cleaning often to ensure that the surrounding areas are clean.

Haha about the bedsheets part, my hubby 1/2 sian already 'cos I kept looking at bedsheets and other items when we were waiting for keys. We even bought our bedsheets earlier, the one with patterns which is shown in the photos I posted in my t-blog. (Quite spider right?)

Wardrobe wise, you can try apple's suggestion and see what you can take from there also.

like this clearer?

definitely not to scale but something like that

[skywolf 0]

Err... my window is full width... One end to the other. But we didnt want a WIW coz everything gotta be folded properly.

But that's a nice idea!! See can modify or not.

Skywolf: Think a similar WIW concept would have to be like LLhome's WIW cos the layout of WIW is very near the bed if I am seeing it correctly?

Or else instead of a L-Shaped WIW like LLhome's, you can have 2 straight wardrobes facing each other that creates a passageway to the toilet. But it means you need to sacrifice some space meant for other things just for the wardrobes alone if adopt this 2 parallel WIW type

Ok. I go and read LLHome's t-blog. Thanks for telling me.

Actually, i have the dilemma part, which is the long windows + this area under the windows (currently seeing those aircon trunkings now). Also, if it's a parallel WIW, the back of the WIW have to be at least erm, smooth/nice to see? My current impression of a WIW at behind is those unsanded wood (think scratches, coarseness, etc).

actually you can ask your contractor to erect a gypsum board and plaster it to look nice

unless you get what deathcoth proposed, the bed that pulls down from the ceiling

[BunBun 5]

Wah, then it must be tiring trying to have the bed down everyday.

[applefreak 1]

was going through the website

think the bed operates with a pulley system, rollers at the bedhead

looks almost effortless to bring it down

[BunBun 5]

Hmm Only problem is would mechanism stall after a while since can get rusty and etc blah blah? Then scary no bed to sleep on for sometime liao.

[skywolf 0]

What if the pulley system malfunctions and the bed drops down suddenly? Whenever i think of tt, i keep getting that feeling.

these are probable problems

but i think they'd make it so that these problems won't surface until after many years bah

Scary scary.
