Hello!
I am looking for layout ideas for our loft area in our newlywed/new home. The loft overlooks our family room and front entryway, and we're currently using the space as our home office and library/lounge/2nd living space. We have no children, and prefer a clean line "transitional" style.

Clearly we haven't finished purchasing furniture, and it's partly due to the fact that I'm COMPLETELY stuck on what to do for the layout of this room. Below is a list of items/features that we'd like to include. Please help us with layouts and ideas on how to maximize our space and storage in this room!

- Space for both our computer setups. we prefer to hide cords as much as possible. (current desks are 60in long. they're new, but if they have to go, they can go.)
- space for files and important papers (we have 1 drawer each in our desks, but that's starting to get tight)
- space for some sort of supply closet/armoire (we have no closet space in this room so we need a storage solution for office supplies!)
- small sofa (2 seater. we have 2 bedrooms, so we'd like this to be a sleeper sofa to serve the purpose of lounge area and emergency guest room)
- 2 chairs (to flank the table on the railing creating a reading area)
-access to doorway out to the deck
-other items to make this space more functional and cool?
- we prefer to keep as 'open' a feel as possible, but aren't thrilled with the "furniture glued to the walls" effect either. we use this area for random handstands and weightlifting occasionally, so some space to move is good.
- we like the idea of seating that you can swivel along the railing. you can see the TV from there, and we jokingly call it '300 level seating'

Attached is our floorplan, and a few photos of the room (please excuse our random humidifier and other items! we're still getting organized...

I know that's a lot. Clearly we need some help!
Thanks! =)
