Loft studio apartment layout help?
Hello, I'm Nick in Shreveport, La. I'm frozen by options when it comes to laying out my studio apartment. It's a loft style with 16-foot ceilings. Any input/encouragement is appreciated, I don't consider myself the aesthetic type. Thanks everyone!
*I have about $4,000 total to work with
*I have no interest in getting a tv
*I won't be having company over
*Necessities include a desk and a minimal daybed/sofa for napping-here's an example of the daybed in mind
Descriptions and photos:
1. Floor plan from apartment's listing (doesn't include the two cement wall details pictured in photos 4 and 5)
2a. View upon entry (boxes to simulate room dividing furniture/bookcase. I think that I want to have a Kallax style open back bookcase closest to the area rug, but unsure of desired height. I stacked boxes higher in photo 7 for an idea)
2b. I wanted to show the space for maybe a little bench upon walking in (where my supplies are on the floor) and my vacuum will probably end up mounted on a wall somewhere)
3. Not sure how but I definitely want to block the view of my fridge from this angle. Maybe the boxes are a medium height piece of furniture with plants on top to block fridge view? Or taller piece next to fridge altogether?
4. Cement detail that I mentioned earlier.
5. And the other cement detail that's in the corner. May put a room divider screen around my prayer kneeler in this corner?
6. My unframed (at the moment) queen bed on the 8x10 rug that took 2 weeks decide upon
7. And here's the taller bookcase etc divider simulation that would be wider than this for sure. I like the idea of a shorter divider with stuff on top but I also like the idea of a taller and more dramatic divider too.
All opinions welcomed and appreciated!
Nick

btw, I don't think you need a daybed for napping when you bed is 5 steps away!
Do you want a single sofa? one w/a chaise? chairs, lamps, etc?
ignore the tv here. in it's place you could do a desk area
you could do something like this 'Multi-wall" to separate the bed area
another option is this cube divider w/baskets. You'll get extra storage w/this too.
look at Ikea Hacks for book cases and such. if this is facing your bed side, you'll get storage options on the shelves.
another idea. these could be a diy thing w/wood .

They sell lighter colors.
Funny that what's been posted includes oak-type furniture. Amber -gold curtains, maybe amber glass vase could be similar accenting tone as new wood items.
Add tan leather pillow or ottman in similar color..... etc.

Just create visually designated areas and let the windows be your main feature and all else coordinated around them, like below. You might need some adjustments, but ”zones” will define the individual spaces without sacrificing light/sq footage.
