Often, king size beds are positioned in the center of a wall, flanked by night tables. But the corner of the room might be the only space available for your king size bed. Extending the bed from the corner adds drama to the room, because it is an unusual position. When positioning such a large bed in the corner, you cut your room in half -- diagonally. This divides the room into angles, more specifically triangles. Designing with these triangular angles in mind makes the position of the bed less awkward.
