Help me decide on a layout
Moving into this 517 sq ft studio apartment in mid October! I care about functionality way more than looks. I’m a chef so I host dinner parties very often with between 2-6 guests so having a large dining area is unfortunately something more important than my sleeping area. I have 2 potential designs but I’m open to any feedback and ideas! I like the first option because it fits a good size desk under it but I know a lot of people think it’s weird having a bed in the living area although I do kinda like having the couch and tv in the Alcove for movie nights when I would already be wanting it in a darker area. The perks of the second layout are that the bed is actually in the bedroom and I can view the tv from both living room and bed if I just angle the tv slightly
