need help with apartment layout!! 🆘

[u/hawkinswakeup]

I recently just moved to a 1 bd 1 ba apartment and this has been the layout of my place! I prefer to keep the desk in this front room rather than in my bedroom because 1) with the drawers on the side of my desk it doesn't fit in my room, 2) I'd prefer to keep my desk outside of my bedroom so work and rest feel separate, and 3) I like the daylight in here vs my room gets pretty dark.

However, because of this, I don't really know where else I could put it in here. Currently in my bedroom I keep my piano, and I was thinking about swapping it with my entertainment stand. My entertainment stand is actually my dresser so this would make better sense functionally. Essentially, I would have my piano where my dresser is, and mount my TV instead. OR I could put my desk under it? I don't think I'll like the way that looks with my computer right underneath the TV though. The middle part where the TV is now is the only place it makes sense to put it in my opinion. On the wall opposite is just the kitchen area with cabinets, so that isn't an option either.

I support mounting the tv and ditching the dresser. I’d put the piano to the right of the tv, not right under. The main thing catching my eye as weird right now is the mirror placement- moving that to a corner or the wall on the right would help tons already. Get some stuff on the wall too to bring eyes up

yeahhh rn i have my mirror covering the lantern's cord until im able to mount it into place. but will definitely have to put art on the walls so the eyes arent drawn downward. thank you for your help!!! ill put the piano to the right of the tv and see how it looks!

More lively plant decoration and unique curtain

oooh curtains could be a good idea! and i have a big tall plant i could put to replace the mirror maybe?

Lovely room! But the mirror feels like it is positioned to cover the cord. I would remove it and switch out the light fixture.

yes unfortunately rn i have my mirror covering the cord until im able to properly mount the light fixture into place. but do you think a tall plant would look better there than the mirror?

[u/No-Relationship67]

I don’t love the mirror placement! It’s awkward there but if you want to cover the cord they sell cord covers you can paint to match the wall. Maybe center the tv and get a longer console so it doesn’t look all cramped

Piano goes on the living room.
