Is an 11x11 bedroom big enough for a queen bed?

Yes. The room is 121 sq ft (11.2 sq m) and a 60 in x 80 in queen covers 27% of it, leaving 36 in (92 cm) on each side and 52 in (132 cm) at the foot. All of those gaps are wide enough to walk down.

Does it matter which way a queen bed faces in a square room?

Not for the fit. An 11 x 11 ft room gives 36 in (92 cm) on each side of a centred queen whichever wall the headboard goes on. It matters for traffic: put the headboard where the door and window do not open onto the foot of the bed, since the foot has 52 in (132 cm) rather than the full width.

Will a queen bed fit in an 11x11 room?

Yes — comfortably

Quick answer Yes, with 36 in (92 cm) of clear floor on each side of the bed. The thing to know about a square room is that the bed is not square: at 60 in x 80 in a queen takes more of the length than the width, so the shortest gap is not beside the bed but at its foot, where there is 52 in (132 cm). That is still wide enough to walk, but it is the gap this room runs out of first.

The numbers

Room	11 × 11 ft (335 × 335 cm) — 121 sq ft
Bed	Queen bed, 60 in × 80 in (152 × 203 cm)
Floor the bed covers	27%
Gap each side, bed centred	36 in (92 cm)
Gap on one side, bed against a wall	72 in (183 cm)
Gap at the foot	52 in (132 cm)

An 11 x 11 ft room looks symmetrical on paper and stops being symmetrical the moment the bed goes in. The sides settle at 36 in each, and the 52 in at the foot is the number that decides everything else, because an open drawer, a bench or a door swing all land there. Drawn to scale in ToScale that lopsidedness is obvious in a way it never is when you picture a square room in your head.

Where to put the bed

Either wall gives the same fit, so choose on the door and the window rather than on inches. Centre the bed on the wall that leaves the doorway opening into clear floor and both sides come out at 36 in (92 cm), enough for two people to get in and out without one climbing over the other. If one side is never used, push the bed to that wall and the width becomes a single 72 in (183 cm) span, which turns half the square into a room instead of a passage.

What else fits

18 in nightstands go on both sides. The 55 in x 20 in dresser fits at the foot inside the 52 in, and a wardrobe fits too, though it belongs beside the bed rather than at the foot: the foot is the gap with the least to spare, and a wardrobe door swinging into it would close the route across the end of the bed.
