In planning a bedroom with office space, spaces should be assigned for both sleeping and working.  In assigning areas, it is important to consider circulation space and storage needs.

Tip #1: For circulation space, consider the paths of movement that could transpire between entry points and among various destinations.

Tip #2: After you outline traffic patterns, you can identify the optimum use of space and create functional groupings as you plan your furniture layout.  To plan the furniture layout for a cross-functional bedroom, you want to consider walking space between the door and the bed, the bed and the desk, and any other destination, such as the closet.

Tip #3: Considering that the closet may be used for storing clothes as well as office supplies, the furniture layout should be conducive to reaching the closet from both the bed and the desk.

With your plan in place, you can move your furniture and the remaining essentials into your space.
