Rule of thumbMandatory
Bed against the longest wall
FIX-BED-WALL-01Description
Beds must sit against a solid wall (not floating in the room interior, not against the same wall as the door). Ideally the bed sits on the wall opposite the door so occupants see the doorway from bed and the door swing stays clear.
Why this exists
A bed centered on the longest unblocked wall reads as the room's anchor. Off-axis or against a window/door wall feels temporary.
