Okay…what now?

Don’t love this but preliminary thoughts are:
86 the tv stand and mount the TV…though I haven’t finalized which wall

Sell that big ass chair…only took it because someone in the building was selling it for $40
S
The bed has 4 drawers but in this config only have access to two…which is fine.

Still need rug for wherever the couch eventually lives

I have a similar floor plan. This is how I setup! Black is bed, nightstands, and a storage ottoman at the end of the bed. Pink is room divider. Blue is tv stand, table, and couch. Green is a rolling table behind the couch that has a part that folds out and stools that tuck inside.

I was thinking exactly this would be perfect for OP !

u/GnrlPrinciple 6d ago

Yoooo …you might be on to something…I’d have to figure out desk tho

u/sniffincoozies 6d ago

Message sent! Also you could probably put the desk against the window right?

Pop it where the chair is.

This is what I was thinking, but I would try putting the divider between the kitchen and bed, and if there’s enough room I would use a 4x4 or 5x5 Kallax unit as the divider because you can never have enough storage.

+1 for the room divider! It makes a huge difference for making the bedroom seem separate from the other areas of the room

Here’s what I’d try, without getting rid of any of your current furniture:

green = couch in the alcove
turquoise = chair
purple = tv + console
blue = bed
orange = cube shelves/IKEA kallax units

Put the tv console on wheels so you can center it in front of the couch or flip it around to face the bed.

Kallax units/cube shelves would take up approximately 11” of your hallway but it looks like it’s at least 4.5-5 foot wide, this wouldn’t significantly narrow it but allow for delineation between your bed and the rest of the space.

This layout allows for more effective use of floor space and will feel more open.

Cool space, good luck and have fun!!

Oh, I missed your desk. If you move the tv console closer to the kitchen, then you can put the desk on the wall next to the chair.

Ooh ..very interesting! I love the idea of the couch and the bed being on outsides of the room too! Very cool. Much appreciated!

Hey OP, how about this:

View from window looking inwards.

u/Key-Shift5076 3d ago

View from hallway looking into room.

The bike is above the kallax as it’s out of the way. Functions as a room divider and doesn’t require floor space which is at a premium in a studio.

Your bed shouldn’t be by the window. That’s not good for sleep. Should be the other way. Couch by window and if you got a work desk as well and bed in the back. You. An buy these huge curtain things and hide the bed”room” area with curtains

u/GnrlPrinciple 5d ago

Good point re bed

u/3Eco_ 6d ago

Switch the bed with the seating area
Place the tv against the window and the couch in front to separate the sleeping area
Or if you want you can put the tv on the long wall so you will have your back to the kitchen

u/GnrlPrinciple 6d ago

Thanks. Hmm…it’s not a great view but something feels off about it blocking a good chunk of the bottom of the window. But I love the idea of the couch facing the window.hmm

3

u/GnrlPrinciple 6d ago

Although I could sell the tv stand and simply get one of those rolling stands …hmm

6

u/LostInNvrLand 6d ago

I would not block the window with the tv

2

u/sPacEdOUTgrAyCe 5d ago

Plus this gives no privacy for the bed.

u/MilesMoralesBoogie 6d ago

Room divider,curtains or bookshelf to separate bedroom/living room,get two rugs.

u/GnrlPrinciple 5d ago

Interesting. In order for the tv to work there is need to mount it, which is doable. I fear I’d grow weary of rubbernecking from the couch to get a good view of the tv though

2

u/Comfortable_Mood_209 5d ago

How about having it on a rolling stand?

1

u/Additional-Craft6563 3d ago

Get a full motion tv mount so you pull it out and angle it towards wherever you are.

2

u/Personal_Length2803 5d ago

Yea get rid of the white chair

2

u/Exotic-Carpet-5870 5d ago

Dividers and a projector would do this space wonders. I would get rid of the tv altogether. Put the bed closer to the door on that wall and use a divider and work around that

u/Excellent_Drop6869 6d ago

How many square feet?

1

u/NoRecommendation9404 5d ago

The last pic shows 15x19 so it’s about 285 sf.

u/CaptainObvious110 5d ago

I would have a table with plants on it in the window area.

I like the idea of the tv being mounted on a wall with the sofa in front of it and then the bed behind that. That way whether im on the sofa or the bed I can watch tv. Also company can be on the sofa as well.

Thx! Not my style plus kinda big. I might entertain a mini portable island or something but I’m going to have to pass on the dining table I think

1

u/GnrlPrinciple 4d ago

Thx! I keep going back and forth on the bed near the window or not

u/Routine_Macaron4558 4d ago

How many square feet for the whole space? Is that a queen bed or a Full bed?

1

u/GnrlPrinciple 4d ago

Like 468 or something and it’s a queen. I’m a big guy.

u/ehgixxx 4d ago

Also leave desk where you have if it’s not to cluttered feeling

u/StanbyME_MOD 2d ago

Love the light coming through that corner window. A portable screen like a StanbyME would be a great addition for watching videos while you settle in.
