I actually live in the same building with the VERY SAME layout. It's such a beautiful space, but it can be perplexing finding a place for everything. We have our living area and bed area switched. If your place is like ours, your cable hook-up is near where your television is now. The sun can be so overwhelming though, we just can't sleep by the windows. So, we have an extra long cable cord that we hide. Also, have a long book case/room divider that separates our bed area from our dining table. It creates the idea of different areas without making the space seem any smaller. I agree with a lot of what Max above wrote. We made sure to not put all of our furniture against the wall. You get a big, yet intimate, space that way. We hung a lighting fixture above our dining room table. Shoot me an email if you want to take a look at what we did.
