Twin Bedroom Layouts

Twin (Single) Bedroom layouts are recommended planning guidelines for organizing bedrooms based on the standard dimensions of a Twin (Single) Bed. As Twin (Single) beds are often used in shared kids rooms and minimal floor plans, multiple sides of the bed may not be accessible.

Commonly used for space efficient minimal individual or shared bedrooms, Twin (Single) beds are 75” (191 cm) long and 38” (97 cm) wide. Minimum clearances of 30” (76.2 cm) and comfortable clearances of 36” (91.4 cm) are recommended around any open edges of a Twin (Single) bed. Single bedrooms with Twin (Single) beds should have minimum floor plan areas of around 81 ft2 (7.75 m2) with shared Twin (Single) bedrooms at around 168 ft2 (15.6 m2).

What are the factors to consider when planning a bedroom layout?

Ease of circulation is a factor to consider when planning a bedroom layout. It should be easy to move throughout the room, getting to the door or the closet from the bed for example. Focusing on furniture configuration as well as the scale and function of these pieces is a way to achieve the best flow. View is another factor to consider, especially upon entrance into a bedroom. The sight upon walking in should feel open and possibly lead to a scenic window. Privacy should also be of main concern. It is recommended to design a bedroom layout in which one is unable to look directly into the bedroom from a public space in a home.

How do you design a small bedroom?

A common design idea when working with a small bedroom is to use color, lighting, and furniture pieces to give the illusion that the space is bigger than it actually is. Positioning mirrors will reflect natural light into the space while painting the room white will brighten it up. Pushing the bed up into a corner and mounting both shelves and lights will increase the floor space. These floating shelves can also act as night stands, entry tables, bookcases, etc.

What is a split bedroom floor plan?

A split bedroom floor plan typically separates a home into three areas: a great room or main floor, a master bedroom, and a quarter for the other bedrooms. This layout is intended to give more privacy between bedrooms (specifically for the master) separated on either end of the house with a main living area in between or on entirely different levels.
