I personally love a king size in a master but they can look too big in some rooms. This may be the case here too, especially with your chosen bed. However as long as you have enough room to move around it you will be comfortable in that regard. If you were to go king I would suggest looking at a bed with just a bed head or a separate bed head with ensemble as this will not dominate the room room to much and make it feel smaller. Then find side tables that are floating or light in structure with open legs so you can see through to the wall. Good luck

One suggestion I'd make - shelves above a bed are very hard to reach, without standing on the bed. There are many beds though that fold up into a wall cabinet, so take up the thickness of a mattress/frame when folded up. It also makes for a tidier office when it's not a guest room. You may have to hunt for a fold-out that hinges on the long side - most are hinged on the short side (i.e. hinge under the pillow). If you can't find the right unit you might be able to swap with the shelves behind the door, or on the opposite far wall. You'd then have to rejig the other shelves you want above the bed, or move the bed unit the depth of the shelves out from the wall, or rotate it 90 degrees to parallel the wall to the credenza. I'm trying to work out exactly the same problem in my study as we speak :-) albeit with a different floorplan. Good luck!

Wow, what great feedback by everyone! We are happy to spend a bit of money to make it a modern, usable backyard. Balmain is quite a close packed neighbourhood, but we are lucky that our yard is quite private, even if there were no plants. I realist that there would be 3-4 months of the year where we would not use it at all, but those other 9 months we really want a space for outdoor dining, bbq-ing, sitting outside reading. Our personal taste is modern. Plus the property is worth well north of $2M, we want a space to reflect that valuation. The bricks pavers are nice, but require constant work to look good. Still leaning towards what they have done to that Bondi property above.

i too prefer symmetry but with limited space this option has worked well for me to store all the things you mentioned including a vacuum cleaner and carpet shampooer but another option for you could be to have the original arrangement and use the broom space as an alcove without a door or walls keeping in mind that the counter needs to be at least 2150 wide for the laundry basket, washer, dryer and skinny tub and should be at least 650mm deep to allow for the water hoses and cords and power points behind, leaving an alcove about 450mm by 1m with no door and a very narrow side opening to squeeze everything in
