The bed is also one of the focal points in arranging the interior of the bedroom. A small bedroom with an oversized bed is not suitable for the space, creating a cramped, stifling, and uncomfortable feeling for the homeowner. Conversely, a small-sized bed placed in a large room may create a sense of emptiness, lacking focal points, resulting in less comfortable and seamless sleep.

For this reason, paying attention to choosing an appropriately sized bed when arranging the interior of the bedroom is essential. This will directly impact the physical and mental well-being of the user and the aesthetic appeal of the space.

Common bed sizes nowadays, such as a single bed for one person, typically fall into dimensions like 1.4m x 2m, 1.5m x 2m, or smaller options like 0.7m x 1.9m for children or families aiming to optimize space as much as possible.
