Draw a pic with all of the windows, doors, and wall sizes in inches. Add in the sizes of the furniture and you will get some good recommendations on here. Beverly is fantastic at layout. Hopefully she will see this.

Another picture standing at the entrance would help. does he want specific pieces like a chair and desk for using a computer for gaming?

Chispa does exactly what I suggest and please get your son involved and listen to him. This is his space it does not have to go with any other part of the home

Have you tried ChatGPT? While I did not want to give into it but you’ll be surprised what you can do with it or better yet what it can do for you. Paste pictures or the room and furniture you want to place in there, and ask it to arrange it for you. You can play with it until it gives you what you want. Let me know how it goes.

Aurrggghhh

Which orientation

Below 1/2 " to one foot guesswork........

To all who pass. I am not yelling : )!! lol

You have no business on Chat GPT or any computer app, for space and what fits until you understand it is nothing more than this:

Math and scale.

A piece of graph paper 1/4 " boxes. If you want a bigger picture use 2 boxes to one foot. Or a scale ruler. You need the sturdy tape measure, and you draw the room, a simple sketch with a pencil. Every solid wall, every window, every opening to a bath, or a closet or an ENTRY has its own dimension!! Every. single. one!!

Seriously, by the time you figure out how to use those apps, you could draw the room with pencil and graph paper. It's not that difficult. It's not that big a room, so there are limits on what you can furnish it with. Looks like the wall opposite the entry door is the most logical place for the bed and one nightstand (a one-person room doesn't need two), and then a dresser on another wall. Done.

^^*

If you're wondering why this concept of draw and measure is important? It is essentially one thing:

Understanding the space you have. How big is "big" and how "small' IS the small! How do you move through it, without bumping into things, how does the door swing and not hit a bed?!.

Why do humans need 36" to pass in hallways?

(answer: Has to do with shoulder width of the average man)

By the time you've drawn, measured, used a scale ruler, or simple graph paper? You know the space like an old friend. Or you LEARN to know it. It becomes 3 dimensional, even though it is lines on paper.

You walk before you RUN.

You don't get to drive a car, simply because you know how to start it.

It's all the same....understanding first.

Call us old or old fashioned. .........it works and we will wear the shoe as it fits: )

Homework?

Go back to these below, and add every dimension on the correct orientation.

Every solid wall, each window, the entry. the closet? Each has a dimension.

I will answer your question. I like using Sweet Home 3D. You can input your rooms dimension, add doors and walls and it even has a library of furniture sizes. I still have it on my computer but have not used it in a few years. I know there are many aps on the market so you may have to try a few to find one you like.

I use magicplan on my phone quickly sometimes to help with scale and placement. It is very simple and when i got it years ago it was free. It allows you to alter their choice of furniture and rugs to custom sizes as well.

I suggested cahtGPT earlier. But upon looking at your picture again, it looks like the room is pretty small and in reality you only have two walls to work with. One is wider than the other. So if placing the headboard against the wider wall (please do not block your window!) allows ample space to walk around and to open the door, then this is the wall I would choose. It would also help to know what other furniture you are thinking of purchasing and placing there. You can only do so much in the small room.
