From Reddit Dilemma to Dream Layout: AI Solves a Large Bedroom Challenge
Ever scrolled through Reddit forums like r/DesignMyRoom and seen a space that screams potential but is hampered by a tricky layout? We do! Recently, a post from user u/Anonymous_celery caught our eye: they were struggling with their large bedroom layout (from r/DesignMyRoom post - struggling with my room layout).
We decided to take on the challenge using our AI Design Service to show how it can tackle real-world design problems.
The Challenge: A Large Bedroom with Big Layout Problems
The original Reddit poster (u/Anonymous_celery) was facing a frustrating bedroom layout dilemma: they had a large bedroom shared with their cats, but despite the generous space, they couldn't make it work functionally. As they put it: "I have a large bedroom for me and my cats. But I don't know how to do the layout and I have a big empty space in the middle of the room."
The specific issues they outlined were:
- No accessible bedside table - "There is no space for the bedside table. bedside table is next to a dresser at the moment, not reachable when on the bed"
- No space for the cat crate - "I have a cat crate, but there is no space, all the wall spaces are taken"
- Poor zoning - "I wish to divide the space - working spot has the desk and the bookshelf, and sofas are gathered in one spot for friends to sit and chat, and bed and bedside table next to each other. At the moment it's all mixed."
- Wasted space - Despite having a large room, there was a big empty space in the middle that wasn't being utilized effectively
Their plea was heartfelt: "Please help, I'm really really struggling"
The "Before" - Visualizing the Problem:

The AI-Powered Solution: Reimagining the Space
We took the core requirements from the Reddit post and fed them into our AI Design Service. The goal was to create a layout that was:
- Functional: Clearly defined zones for sleeping, working, and socializing.
- Space-Efficient: Making the most of the large bedroom while eliminating that wasted empty middle space.
- Cat-Friendly: Properly integrating space for the cat crate and cat needs.
- Aesthetically Pleasing: Creating a cohesive and inviting atmosphere with proper furniture placement.
Here's the layout our AI helped generate:

Key Design Choices in the AI-Generated Layout:
- Proper Sleeping Zone: The bed is positioned with an accessible nightstand right beside it, solving the key issue of the bedside table being unreachable. The bed placement creates a defined sleeping area.
- Dedicated Work Area: The desk is positioned to create a focused workspace, separate from the sleeping and social areas, addressing the user's desire for distinct zones.
- Social/Living Zone: The sofa and coffee table create a clear area for friends to gather and chat, fulfilling the user's wish for a dedicated social space.
- Smart Storage Solutions: The wardrobe provides essential storage while helping to define different zones within the large room.
- Cat-Friendly Integration: The visible pet carrier shows how cat furniture can be naturally integrated into the design without taking up valuable wall space.
- Eliminated Wasted Space: The arrangement fills the previously empty middle area with functional furniture placement that improves flow rather than creating dead space.
- Clear Traffic Patterns: The layout allows for easy movement between zones while maintaining their distinct purposes.
