rierie 0 Report post Posted July 15, 2009 (edited) King size bed shouldn't affect the width of the walkway between bed & TV or WIW as it is the same length as queen? Or is yours the US type? i think there are 2 types of King size bed. regardless, the minimal difference is that King size is always wider than the queen size. Standard King or Eastern King beds are about 16" wider than a Queen bed and the same length. correct me if i am wrong Edited July 15, 2009 by rierie Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Standard King or Eastern King beds are about 16" wider than a Queen bed and the same length. correct me if i am wrong Yup king & queen beds both same length but widths different (unless you buy US sized beds then they are also slightly longer). What I mean is from the drawing, since the length of the bed is the same, the space that is affected should be the walkway between the bed & the settee or the bed & the wall (where the side table is).

adrian_john 1 Report post Posted July 16, 2009 The design seem good...i will have the same prob having a small walking area in my Mini wiw...just curious...how many feet of wardrobe u are having for the wiw? BD, Yeah, the small walking area will be something to get used to. I think the side of the bed closest to the wall will not have any walking space since our bed is a king sized one. Haiz, so I think to go onto the bed must be from the front or other side. Closet size will be 6ft + 2ft in total due to the L-shape. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
adrian_john 1 Report post Posted July 16, 2009 I love the design of the MBR! I like that settee thing and how it merges with the dresser... Thanks Pet, I like the layout alot too. Guess now it'll be quite close to the earlier idea we had. But I think the designer was quite generous with the actual available space in her sketch. Somehow when we're on-site the space looks super cramped compared to plan. Maybe once I get keys I should go do markings with masking tape to get a better idea.

adrian_john 1 Report post Posted July 16, 2009 This design is not bad, looks pretty cool. The only thing is the small walking space, only one person at time hor... Hopefully, your other areas would be better. Yup, the small, tight space will be very cramped. Wife was suggesting perhaps it'd be more feasible to remove bed frame and construct a platform instead? But I'm not sure I wanna do that though. Its like cramping the room even more and making it blocky. Hello, fine for me. You too right? No lor, I don't mean that day should have MJ session, I was asking you when would be the MJ session. So long 了 mah, haha... Rondy and Skyblue: For a minute I thought your MJ session meant Michael Jackson karaoke. Then I realised its Mahjong! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rierie and Nottimonster: Thanks for your feedback and advice on the bed sizes. The width will be an issue to the side that's closest to the wall and also the between bed and settee. For the former, I think I won't even have 15 or 20cm space. Perhaps I shall just leave that as 'dead' space and do some shelves above it, or perhaps partition with niche spaces to put stuff like wedding photos etc? For the latter, I think there's still enough space and Yeak and Pet was saying it may be quite nice with everything blending together from settee to dresser.

Thanks Rierie, hopefully once the current owners have cleared the space, we'll go on-site again and try to mark out the space. *fingers crossed! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nottimonster 0 Report post Posted July 16, 2009 The settee-dresser design is definitely a thumbs up! Previously you mentioned you had 34cm between the bed & wall?Was wondering if you would like the idea of built-in storage in the dead space between the bed & wall. Then you can reuse your existing bedframe but also have more storage space. You can push the bed all the way against it and access it with top opening doors that flip up. It'll be useful to store extra pillows or bedding etc. and you can also display photos on top. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
