This seems like a stupid lesson to have to have learned, especially with all the moving that I've done in the past, but do not leave one country without cash in the currency of wherever you're going. After travelling all to various countries with my debit cards and experiencing no problems I moved to England a few months ago and figured I'd just hit up an atm at the airport when I landed instead of exchanging money. Except then my debit cards didn't work. Luckily I was renting a room in a house and the girls I live with were kind enough to lend me some money and feed me until I sorted out the problem. I would have been screwed if I'd rented an apartment alone.

I'd make the right hand corner closest to the bathroom the TV corner (assuming you have one) and then have 2 couches facing it to create a corner opposite the TV so you have a little square living room and you can have a coffee table there as well. Behind the couch directly facing wherever the photographer is standing (the one splitting the room down the middle) I'd place one of those ikea bookshelves that everyone on at has and fill that with dvds and books/other things. The bookcase would divide the area in two and you could hang curtains from the end of the bookcase to the other wall and then on the other side of the curtain and bookcase I'd have the bedroom. Hope that's clear and understandable haha.
