Help with Living Room layout

[Lauren Glass]

Hello Mr. Kate and other creative weirdos!

I am moving into a new apartment in downtown Chicago. The apartment is amazing and overlooks the lake, but I’m looking at the floor plan and trying to figure out furniture and I realized that with how the doorways/wall openings are configured there’s not really a great place to put a tv/sofa combo, plus there’s a big bay window at the end.

I’m on a college student budget and the sofa is a hand-me down from my parents. It’s got a higher back so I’m unable to do a low-back sofa in the middle of the room.

I’ve attached the floor plan for consideration. Each wall section is 6 feet or larger so just large enough to fit my sofa or TV on any of the wall sections.

There is also a radiator under the bay window so I don’t really want to block that.

Opinions appreciated

Thanks,
Lauren
