A 3×4 m bedroom where a queen bed actually works
Twelve square meters is the threshold where a 160 cm bed stops being a squeeze. The trick is giving the wardrobe the wall at the foot of the bed, not a side wall.

Why this layout works
- 01The bed centers on the north wall with 60+ cm on each side: both sleepers get in and out on their own side.
- 02The 3-door wardrobe faces the foot of the bed with 1.2 m of clearance: doors and drawers open fully.
- 03The dresser takes the west wall away from the window: its 90 cm height wants wall, not sill.
- 04Symmetric nightstands work here because the bed is centered; in narrower rooms drop one instead of shrinking both sides.
Clearances to keep
Rules of thumb this layout respects. Full dimensions guide
- 60 cm minimum on both sides of the bed; 75 cm reads as comfortable.
- 120 cm between wardrobe front and bed foot: a hinged door plus a standing person.
- The window on the east wall stays fully clear: no furniture climbs above its 90 cm sill.
Things people ask
- What's the minimum room size for a queen bed?
- With a wardrobe in the same room, about 3 x 3.4 m. At 3x4 m you get both nightstands and a dresser in without cheating any clearance.
- Bed under the window or against a solid wall?
- Solid wall when you have one: a headboard under an operable window costs insulation and light. Here the bed takes the north wall and the window stays a window.
- Can I try a king bed in this room?
- Open the layout in the editor and swap it: a 180 cm bed leaves about 50 cm per side, and you'll see immediately whether that's acceptable to you.
