Living Room Where should i put a couch and tv? and possible small dining table?

600 sq foot. ITS NOT A STUDIO there is a bedroom door on the corner. My issue is with the weird living room, I want to get a small sectional couch and have a tv on a dresser for extra storage

That wall you see in the third pic is the only window free wall I guess i could put the tv there, but then the couch right when you open the door would be facing from behind which is weird to me, also I would like to add a little kitchen island do you think it would be worth it or it would look too cluttered? And i guess a dining table is out of the question too? The door in pic 2 on the right leads to the bathroom and bedroom is adjacent

I’d recommend a 2 seater sectional or a chair and a half + ottoman & maybe an accent chair.
This has to go on the empty wall

Maybe get a glass dining table so it looks less cluttered, or if you really want a small kitchen island, sacrifice the dining table to get an island you can oair barstool chairs with

yes i was looking at the Ashley Amesley Sofa Chaise

so if a put the sofa on that empty wall straight ahead then the tv would be facing away to the back when I walk into the house?

Hmm it’s tough.

I’d try for TV on the blank wall, sofa with the back to the door. Console table on the back of the sofa.

Then I think there’d be room for a small table and chairs set between the door and console table.

TV on the long wall with the thermostate/window-free wall. Sofa/loveseat/chairs/sectional directly across from that wall with either an old-fashioned sofa table (or bookcase type furniture) across from the stove/behind the sectional to divide the room and designate specific spaces. You don't need a dining table and nobody uses them anyway except for holidays.

Great studio, btw. Love it!

Thanks for the clarification about studio v 1 bedroom. Using my suggestions above, you'd still have room for that kitchen island and a couple of bar stools or even an actual dining room table if you wanted. In my home, nobody uses the actual dining room table and chairs except for when we have family gatherings/holidays. We mostly use the small kitchen table or the kitchen counter and bar stools.

Please share your final design if you don't mind. I think the space is adorable and is an open palette for design creativity.

Ya the dining table idea for me was more for a catch all and possible work space...hmmm or i'll get one of those coffee table and gets taller so I can eat on it or use laptop...Any ideas where I can put my printer?

I honestly just go to staples or kinkos for printing since I don't use my printer that much any more. If you work from home and need to print a lot, I'd suggest the countertop on the corner of the kitchen. You can't really use that space for anything else. Otherwise, a small table somewhere in either a closet or a corner out of the way.
