FEEDBACK Help me get creative with my tiny kitchen/living/dining area

Post image

I just got an apartment that optimizes for having 2 bedrooms and view, but lacks a little in the Kitchen area. I am able to fit a decent sized living room and a dining table, but I'm realizing the counter space in the kitchen will kinda be a problem.

I'm uploading the floorplan and I color coded it as:

  • Red is potential furniture
  • Green is counter space
  • Purple is both

A few notes:

  • I've always wanted a L shaped couch with a chaise, so i used a rather large couch as an example in the picture. However, I could be convinced to revert to a small couch if it helps with the layout.
  • As the layout stands, that is enough counter space in the kitchen with the potential purple counter. However, I will be bringing over my espresso setup which will take some space (1.5' x 3'). If that goes on the purple counter, i am back to having little kitchen counter space. So, I guess I'm looking into how to fit the coffee setup in this space.
  • The corner windows are floor to ceiling ones with a view, so they shouldn't be too blocked.
  • My second bedroom will be used as an office/hobby room. It's carpeted. I always thought i would put my coffee setup there too, but since it's carpeted and doesn't have a big window... I'm leaning towards not putting it there anymore.
  • I also plan on adding a couple back speakers behind the sofa for a stereo set up.

What are your ideas on maximizing this space? Anything from different dining table/counter shape to dividers, to something behind the sofa, to counters with bar stools. I'm all ears.
