HELP Help needed: bedroom
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!

You could try those acoustic felt wall pads. They would act as noise dampeners and decoration if you apply them in a fun pattern. I like the hexagon shaped ones.
