Hello! I bought a small craftsman house in the city on a shoestring (social worker) budget and have been fixing it up room-by-room. I'm finally turning my attention to my bedroom and want to maximize the space for storage and a small workstation. I initially thought of putting a writer’s desk in one corner and a tallboy dresser in the other, but wondered if anyone had other ideas.

I love the idea of a built-in feel—maybe an Ikea BESTA hack—with a storage bench running under the window. Right now, I’m planning to place my queen bed against the only windowless wall, and use the corners/wall space shown in these pictures: the left corner is 30"x30", the right is 29.5"x40", and the window bay is 74.5" wide and 28" off the ground.

Would love feedback! Should I keep it simple with a desk + dresser, or try a built-in mix of bench, drawers, and a movable laptop table? Or something else?
