How do I bathroom / kitchen / extension? etc.

This room is no end of bother to me.

First of all, the door doesn’t currently open the way indicated - it opens the other way and the light switch is where the blue cross is.

Second, the red line is a almost-room-width radiator.

Unfortunately, pretty much the only way to usefully lay out the room was with the bed headboard up against the radiator. This allowed enough room to have bedside cabinets.

The old way of organising furniture is redundant as today I had the horrible old fireplace knocked out and plastered over - this was to make way for a megalithic wardrobe/unit with drawers and cupboards covering that entire wall, more or less.

Now that the fireplace is gone, I do wonder about revising that down to a set of two built-in wardrobes in the alcoves and having the bed headboard against the ‘south’ wall. Then flipping the way the door opens and moving the light switch.

The only thing with doing this is that there isn’t enough length along that wall to also have bedside cabinets and power points are lacking, too. I find the idea of no bedside table abhorrently unergonomic.

Basically I think I just need to stick with the current bed position and will persevere with the bigger (needed) wardrobe space.

I might still flip the door and move the light switch. Then one day I’ll recarpet and redecorate properly - installing a vertical rad or pair along the wall where the rad is currently positioned - and another under the bay.

Thanks for reading this nonsense.
