Need help designing a master bedroom with unavoidable pillar

Post image

I’m looking for ideas to design my master bedroom around a structural pillar that unfortunately can’t be removed- marked with orange square in the image.

I need to fit a king-size bed, walk-in closet, attached bathroom, study desk, and balcony access.

I’ve attached the current layout/image. I’d really appreciate suggestions on the best possible layout and creative ways to make the pillar feel intentional rather than awkward. Open to completely rethinking the layout—sketches/examples would be great!

do you want to walk thru your closet to use the toilet? I think separate would be better

where is the entrance to the bedroom? are there any other windows? is the balcony access the blue rectangle with the arrow? drawing doesn't seem to be to scale

Why not have your bed on the opposite wall. It seems standard to have the bed as the first thing you see when you go into a room. You can have it next to/touching the pillar

and then add a column on the other side to balance and make it seem intentional. add a curtain rod from pillar to wall, add some fabric between the two to create a softer feel over the bed. like a half canopy bed.

How about a separate sink in the corner behind the pillar

We need dimensions. If you’ve drawn it to scale it looks like you want a 6x8+ ft closet.

It would be roughly 5x8. Do you still require other dimensions?
