Crazy apartment layout- how to furnish??

I’m about to move into my FIRST big girl apartment and I couldn’t be more excited- the apartment is kooky and charming and teeny tiny with almost no right angles. How do I fit a bed? A couch? Storage?? And, more importantly, WHERE?? (Of note: the photo of the living room is of a different unit with the same layout, in my apt the radiator is next to the closet door in front of the window)

Ahhh this is so fun! Congrats on your first apartment 😊 My first BK apartment had a similar whacky layout and it was definitely a puzzle furnishing it. So the first thing I'm noticing is that the room with the kitchen (that is called "bedroom" in the floor plan) is much larger than the actual bedroom to the side. How do you envision using your space? Do you want to host and have friends over or do you imagine this really YOUR spot to wind down and relax? One decision I made quickly when I moved into my teensy BK apartment was that I was going to make the larger "bedroom" my living room because it was really important to me that I could entertain. I would think about the flow of the space and how you would use it in an ideal world, and then work backwards with the furniture and all of that stuff
