Answer #1

I have a Bachelor’s Degree in Interior Design..so I drafted your bedroom on my computer. Without any other furniture, the head of the bed will fit along the right hand wall, with space on either side. However, and it’s an Interior Design no-no, you COULD put the bed on the wall opposite the door (under the window) with one side up against the right hand wall (up against the wall is the no-no part)..you COULD have room for a dresser if you do it that way. Either way you do it though, it’s going to be a tight fit. A full size bed is 54” wide (4.5 feet) by 75” long (lil over 6 feet). The futon choice would be good if you want the full size bed but also room to hang out and move around. That way, you could put the futon on the wall across from the door with a nightstand/end table on each side of it, maybe a lil coffee table (which you can move when you are going to bed) and the dresser with a TV on the wall with the door. A cute little area rug would also be a nice touch. Hope this helps!!

Answer #2

i don’t think I would try to put a full size bed in a room that is 8.5 x 8.5. We have a room that is a little bigger than that and it seems cramped with a twin bed, dresser and very small tv stand. i looked up the measurements of a full size bed for you: about 4.5 feet by 6.25 feet. Maybe something with the dresser drawers underneath, but, you would only be able to access on side and the foot of the bed would be very difficult to get to.

What about a fold out couch, day bed, or futon?
