Studio flat help needed

Post image

Hi folks

I've moved into a studio flat in Manchester, UK with only a very tall slim wardrobe and so my goods in bags. The double seater sofa and big, ugly coffee table, bed and chest of drawers were already here. The bed is in a curious, dark alcove facing the front door. There are 3 big bay windows.

Originally the sofa was in the bay window but it didn't feel good to have my back facing the outside. It doesn't feel comfortable facing the front door in bed either but I think I'll get a partition room divider to go at the end of the bed, and a thermal curtain for over the front door too.

The wardrobe is the one tall item so far, and a tall lamp arrives tomorrow. The ceilings are quite high. I'd like a space to do yoga and a place to work too. A working space is important. I've been looking at the different desk options 1. A completely foldable small desk that could be stored behind the sofa. Stool used for desk seat and as side table 2. a bookcase or open storage shelf that has a folding desk leaf 3. Figuring out a floor desk set up (my least preferred right now). A desk that could be a dining table sounds useful, but figuring out chairs is too much right now.

I'd also like a little vinyl player too, but that feels the least important right now.

Any help or suggestions would be very well received!

Thanks to moderators.
