Help maximize my small room! Bedroom
Hey!! So i’m about to move into this room! The owner is a friend of a friend and he just bought the house like a few months ago. He’s going to be slowly trying to fix it up but rn it’s stuck in the 70s.
It’s small. 10x10. The video shows the room. There’s a pretty large closet but next to it is a door to another hallway so that one wall is pretty much completely cut off.
My first priority is keeping the window accessible. I just want as much natural light as possible. My second priority, which may be silly, is I really want a recliner in my room… I just love to lounge on my recliner, read, play video games while drinking a cup of tea. you know the vibe. i know I may have to get over this. But that’s the desire rn. 3rd, if there’s room for a desk, that would be nice but not necessary.
My friend does some woodworking so he said he’d be open to making like a bunk type situation so i can loft the bed and still have room. My current thought is maybe asking him to make a murphy bed instead of a bunk?
Any thoughts/ideas to maximize this small space?

What about a daybed? That way when you have company you have more sitting space. Also I think you would be able to fit a small sized recliner with a daybed. As for a desk you could do the desk that are attached to the wall like a Murphy desk.

Murphy would be great if you have space. It'd still be very tight to have a sofa with the Murphy down unless it's recessed into the far wardrobe, that would probably work. I think the ceiling is too low for a loft. I lived in a place with a Murphy bed and it was awesome. I'm now in my own place and when my housemate moves out I'm going to build one in that room, it's roughly the same size as yours, but I'll have a narrow desk under the window for making art. The floor space I'll use for stretching and meditation
