I just drove 2 hours to ikea with the intention of buying this lamp. I was super excited about it untill I looked on the tag and discovered the built-in LED would only last for a limited amount of time ( 20,000 hours or about 10 years). I was so bummed and had to pass. I was really looking at this as somewhat of a design investment ( although cheap and hopefully wouldn't break on its own!),not something that will inevitabally end up in the trash.

You don't mention what type of flooring is in the space. Assuming it is the same flooring throughout (hardwood or concrete??) this is what I would do:

Make the room next to the Kitchen your living space. I would put a couch against the window wall, small round coffee table in the middle for easy circulation, with a side chair, and possibly mount a TV on the blank wall (narrow credenza below?)

Next, for the bed. I would put the headboard end against the window wall adjacent to the bathroom doorway, just before the wall starts to curve. Then along the remaining window area (including curve portion), place a round dining table (Sarinneen perhaps?)- make sure it's round because I think the hard square edges would conflict with the curve. Then put a desk on the wall next to the closet.

Now, if you have tile in the kichen area, and another flooring type in the rest of the space...I might rethink this idea because I am not partial to tile in a living rooms....
