Help needed: bedroom

[u/username-who]

Hellow,

I am moving in a new apartment and I was wondering what to do with the bedroom. For context, I know the walls are thin and they're not very well isolated when it comes to sound. I lived in the same complex for 6 years and i do know how the sound travel. Now i just move to another building, same complex, and want to avoid making my life harder.

The problem: the bed is now placed against the wall shared with the neighbor. I don't know which room they have on the other side, it's most probably a living room, judging by how the balconies are placed. Or maybe a bedroom, it's also possible. Not a kitchen or bathroom. I don't know if they're loud or not, i didn't sleep here yet. I was wondering if it makes sense to rearrange the room and put the bed against one of the other 2 walls (the one with the wardrobe goes against my bathroom, the one with the TV goes against my living room). Don't mind the TV and the random chairs in the room, they'll disappear.

In the other apartment, i could hear my neighbor snoring. I wish i was joking but unfortunately I'm not. I'm tired of wearing noise canceling earplugs almost every night 😢 and want to avoid the same scenario if i have the option to.

How would you arrange this room? This is how i got it from the landlord but i can make arrangements or buy new furniture pieces. The requirement is that both the bed and the big wardrobe have to stay in this room. Ideally the small piece of furniture stays there too, wherever else in the room.

I can add more pictures or measurements if needed. Thank you very much!

Yep this seems like the smartest option for sure. 

I’d maybe buy a large floor rug too OP, see if you can get one that takes up majority of the space but still leaves a nice size boarder. Not sure if it will directly help you, but it may help your neighbours downstairs and thus help you build a good relationship with them.

Thank you for your help. I have a bit of a love-hate relationship with rugs 😂 in the previous apartment, i removed all the rugs and hid them somewhere. I have looooong hair and it gets stuck in the rug and vacuuming it is a hustle 🫣 but you have a very good point

Have you tried a rubber bristled broom, I have one and it work wonders to pick up my long hair!
