    What is on the wall opposite the bed (not where the TV current is but to the right of the bed in the last photo)? Trying to get a sense of the layout! From the looks of it, you might benefit from some closed storage areas. You could get baskets to put inside your open bookshelf to organize your belongings or get a dresser to find a place for a lot of the things that are scattered in the apartment. Otherwise, add your personality to the space! I'd add a runner in the kitchen area and use area rugs to section off zones in the open bedroom/living room zone

    Wow, this is hard. I read that in a studio, the placement of the bed is everything. Most people want the bed at one end and the daytime stuff at the other. I personally would want to keep the window for daytime living (it's a nice big window), so I'd put the bed on either of the side walls. Having no idea what would actually fit where, here are some weird ideas I'm just throwing out:

    1. Put the bed along the wall where the TV is now, and put some sort of divider (storage? shelves? curtain?) at the end by the kitchen, so that you don't see the bed when you walk in, but see past the divider to the window and TV and general living area in the farther end of the room.
    2. Place the bed on the other side, perpendicular to where it is now. Arrange your couch, a comfy chair, TV (on wall or on a storage unit of some kind) and shelves around the window to make the living area. You could put the couch under the window, float it in the middle of the floor facing something (TV? window?), or back it up to the bed, the way you have it now.
    3. Some people really want their bed to be private, and others don't care if guests use it as extra seating. Up to you, but you could put a curtain or open-backed shelves next to the bed to divide it from the rest of the space. Or the couch could serve as a low divider.
    4. You might want to add a table that could serve both as a desk and for eating.
