What fits in a 8×10 bedroom

The layout above isn’t decorative — every clearance was checked before anything was drawn, using the 24-inch walkway convention designers spec beside a bed and 30 inches at the foot. The stated inches are measured from this layout, not estimated.

Centred with walk space on both sides, a twin bed (the mattress is a 38 by 75 inch standard) fits with 29 in beside each side and 45 in at the foot.
Full bed-size is possible with one side against the wall, at the cost of the second walkway.

Bedroom or office — the honest answer

At 80 ft² this footprint does one job well. The workspace question is settled by geometry: a desk needs its own 54-inch band — 24 for the desk, 30 for the chair — beyond the bed’s foot walkway, and the facts above say whether this room has it.

Two feet either way changes what fits more than the square footage suggests.
