Is this room big enough for a king size bed?

[onebeauplace]

Having to move to rented accommodation without being able to see it in person first and can't get my head round this - is a room of 3.75m x 3.68m big enough for a king size bed? No wardrobe in the bedroom, just 2 small chests of drawers. Room is pretty square, not a weird shape, no bay window.

I’d use masking tape to plot the area of the room around your bed, that will give you a good idea.

I kind of need to order the bed before we move in, that's the problem, and it's too far away for me to see it in person

Oh sorry I just got what you meant, ignore me!!!

Nah you got it right - I thought you already had the bed so I thought it would help to see it visually like that. But I guess you could plot a king size bed around your current bed, and then plot the room area around that.

Only because I think with measurements it can sometimes be difficult to visualise whether something will actually work without seeing it in concrete terms - It should be fairly straightforward to do the maths but it wouldn’t necessarily tell you whether you’d actually be able to live with it, iyswim.

Yeah it's fine! It's 12 feet x 12ft 3.

If you have the bed coming out from the 12 ft wall you'd have 2.5 feet either side which is plenty for a beside table or narrow chest either side.

3.5 feet either side I should say

Yes

I should have just done the maths rather than giving convoluted suggestions! (Story of my life...if there’s a way to overcomplicate things, I’ll think of it!)

Our bedroom is 3.91x3.31 and we have a super king. It goes along the longer wall just between 2 doors. We dont have enough room for 2 bedside tables, but we have one, and then mine is under the window, which I can reach. We will also shortly have two wardrobes.

Ours is smaller than that and we have a king-sized bed and a chest of drawers. It's a bit of a squeeze but we can get bedside tables in either side and have just had to be very disciplined about keeping it tidy and uncluttered, to avoid it looking a teenager's bedroom.

Our room is only 2.5m wide (and 4.7m long) and is wide enough for a kingsize so I reckon you'll be fine.

Our bedroom is 3.43.12 with a chimney breast. We've got a king-sized bed, two bedside tables (kallax 12 units) and two 2*4 kallaxes.

A king size bed is 1.5m wide and 2.0m long, so should fit in your room quite easily.
