Measure these five things

  1. Wall width where the headboard sits.
  2. Distance from bed foot to dresser, closet, or door swing.
  3. Side clearance for making the bed.
  4. Drawer pullout clearance if the frame has storage.
  5. Delivery path from front door to bedroom.

Fast clearance checks

24 inches

Minimum comfortable walkway in a tight bedroom.

30 inches

Better if drawers, closet doors, or two people share the room.

Next move

If the room is tight, start with storage and platform paths, then choose material and color.
