<h2>1. STRATEGIC PLACEMENT OF THE BED</h2>
In a bedroom, a bed is the most important piece of furniture. With that said, its placement holds an important consideration when it comes to the furniture arrangement in a small bedroom. The trick is aligning your bed in such a way that your cupboards and other pieces of furniture can be aligned with the bed symmetrically.
The way to go about it is either by aligning the central axis of the bed with one of the walls and then arranging the other pieces accordingly. Or, one can align the bed with a nook or a niche, depending on its size. Once the bed is placed, all other furniture elements can be arranged in conjunction with it.
