How does one know what you have to furnish it?


Hopefully not a lot of stuff, 437 sq ft is tiny

i have a couch, fullsize bed, tv(the base is about 3 or 4 feet wide), a nighttable and a dresser. and yes i know it's tiny but it's all i need since it will be just me living there

When you say "full size bed" do you mean that literally? Full, as opposed to Queen / King?

What are the diminsions of your couch (width and depth)? I have Visio open but need to get the scale right.

yea i mean full size as in : twin, full, queen, king

not sure about the couch dimensions, just a regular 3 person couch. i'd say maybe 7 feet long and maybe 4 feet depth?

I would ditch the couch and get a love seat and chair (recliner).. Do you have a desk? I assumed a double with dresser..

Here is what I would shoot for. If you want some new stuff check Ikea, they have great solutions for small living spaces.. In fact, they have it all laid out and everything.

BTW.. I think Ikea's website has a room builder thing too where you can input the dimensions and get a 3d view.. Well, they do for kitchens anyhow.

damn that's a pimp ass picture!

well i would rather stick with the couch(it's being given to me for free :D ) and keep people away from sitting on my bed. i don't have ALOT of people at my house but i will prolly have maybe 3-4 of us there drinking on weekends and i would rather keep them away from my bed(i have a thing about people(besides the gf of course) being on my bed).

thank you again for the picture, it looks all proper and shit :p !

[grove rat]

oh yea i dont have a desk or dining table, that's why i kinda considered the dining room as the tv area

[Chili]

The Dining are would be your best bet but will be difficult to fit the couch in.. I'll play around with it.

thanks! i take it you do this kind of stuff for a living? :confused:

That dining room is just going to be very tight for a sitting room (6' deep just isn't enough).

Try these..

If you put your TV in the dining room you won't be able to see it from bed.. In some I put your dresser in the closet for some extra space. Get a cheap table for the dining room and you can bring the chairs into the living room when company is over.. Or you can put a fooseball table in the dining room too.. :D

Lol.. Not at all. I have Visio (drawing program) for flow charts and org charts :p I am a manager in a finance business.

[grove rat]

WOW!!! since you don't do this for a living then you must really be bored :p :D

out of those 3 i like the first 2 since it will have my bed somewhat 'out of the way'

i can't wait to move into my place and now all these ideas are going and i'm getting all excited :o :D

too bad i have to wait till feb the 8th :(

[grove rat]

damn, i had high hopes for this apartment...too bad there is no visitor parking and my walls are thin so i hear all my neighbors every fuckin move/word. i'll be breaking my lease and moving back to a garage apartment where i know the family and people can actually stop by and visit me!

[Hunt4m3x]

Microsoft Visio FTW
