Summaries of content, keywords and links generated by algorithms. Thank you smmry.com:
Summary 1: Don't put single beds in empty rooms called bedrooms, but instead put individual bed alcoves off rooms with other nonsleeping functions, so the bed itself becomes a tiny private haven.
Summary 2: The valuable space around the bed is good for nothing except access to the bed.
Summary 3: In BED CLUSTERS, we have already argued that each child in a family should have a bed alcove of his own, opening off a common play-space.
Summary 4: First, the bed in a bedroom creates awkward spaces around it: dressing, working, watching television, sitting, are all rather foreign to the side spaces left over around a bed.
Summary 5: We have found that people have a hard time adapting the space around the bed to their needs for bedroom space.
Summary 6: Once the bed has been built into a space that is right for it, then the rest of the bedrom space is free to shape itself around the needs for sitting space, play areas, dressing, and storage..
