Master bedroom makeover - with diagram!

[CatMattress]

We moved house relatively recently and have a super kingsized bed, which I adore. It’s absolutely a necessity with DP as he’s well over 6’ tall. Currently the bedroom is laid out roughly as the previous occupants had it, with the bed facing the window and between the entry door and en-suite door, then we have 3 Malm chest of drawers against one wall and a bank of built in wardrobes against the other.

I feel like the room could work better than it currently does, but I’m not sure how. We are discussing changing the en-suite door so that it slides to one side ‘inside’ the wall (whilst also increasing soundproofing because the kids keep waking us up when they go for a wee!) This would reduce the ‘eat’ into the bedroom because (despite the incorrectly labelled estate agent drawing) the door swings into the bedroom.

What I’m thinking is putting the bed under the window but leaving the CoDs where they are. At least this way the person on the side away from the en-suite isn’t going right past the other one’s head to use the bathroom, similarly the one on the en-suite side of the bed isn’t going right past the other’s head when they leave the room. Would this work?

The other options are:

1. Leaving the bed where it is, but creating a built in unit around the bed to get the bedside tables off the floor and put a bit of additional storage in for books and an ornament or two
2. Take the built-in wardrobes out, put the bed into the recessed space and put hanging space on the opposite wall instead, with the CoDs on the wall between the doors (but then I’m not sure how easy it would be to get in and out of bed, especially for the person on the side away from the door
3. Something else I’m not considering.

I would just like to create a really well organised, thoughtful space that works for us, especially with DP being so tall – he constantly feels like he’s having to squeeze or circumnavigate around furniture and it’s not great for him. I just like things to be neat and tidy without loads of stuff out, but I’m not naturally organised, so a place for everything is key.

We also want to go a bold, deep colour, but it’s a north-facing bedroom so can’t be too dark, so I was thinking painting the wardrobe doors and Chest of drawers a forest green or navy blue because the room is much wider and those would pull those walls in – what colour would you paint the rest? White? Stone? Mushroom? Cream? Pale yellow? I also love half-wall panelling so was thinking about using that, but then would you paint the panelling dark with pale walls or light panelling, dark walls and mirrors/artwork to break it up? Or just not bother with this and just have a plain wall in a light colour? But mostly I can’t quite work out the decorative scheme until I have the layout set out right.
Help me?

And again, so the image is a better size...

I would put the bed on the left hand wall

So the bed is super king, that's 2m wide and the room is 2.98m wide, so it would leave slightly under 50cm either side of the bed and a lot of dead space down by the fitted wardrobes, but nowhere to put the CoDs.... I'm not sure it would work.

I'm wondering if I should do a CAD sim to see what it would look like

I would keep the original lay out & built in wardrobe.
get rid of the chest of drawers

Our bedroom is more or less the exact same layout but we enter on the left and the door to the ensuite is on the right. I am quite a light sleeper so I couldn't have my head against the wall where kids are going to the loo in the night.

We have our bed under the window - we designed it like that (its an extension) and it works for us.

Can you put sliding doors on the wardrobes? That would make the room feel more usable. Also reorganise the interior of the wardrobe to accommodate drawers (if possible) to remove the drawers in the room.

I wouldn't put storage over the bed it would be very claustrophobic.
