I have a room similar in size- maybe just slightly larger. I have managed to fit a queen sized bed, book case, leather reclining chair, Desk (28''x54'') and office chair, dresser and tv.

I cornered the bed, built a frame out of 2x4's and raised it 53'' off the ground and then screwed it to the studs in the wall. I built box legs to support the front of the bed. Then I cornered my desk beneath the bed and did the same thing, attached it to the wall and built a leg. Book case and office chair are also beneath the bed frame. Its the perfect height so that my head does hit the bed frame and I have about 2' 4" from the top of my bed to the ceiling (standard 8' ceiling). Got tired of jumping into bed so I bought a 4 foot ladder until I have some time to build something.
As others have said, stick your dresser in the closet. Unless you have lots of long clothing, that bottom space is often wasted. I have my dresser in my closet with my TV sitting on top and still some room to hang clothing.

Your need/wants may differ but that is what has worked for me.

how about a bed set up similar to this? http://www.apartmenttherapy.com/building-3-bunk-beds-in-a-small-space-the-handmade-dress-173426 use twin sized beds instead though
surely the measurements are off... but regardless.
then under the second level bed you could either build a sliding table similar to a computer desk, or you could stick a dresser underneath the second level.
