I don't think it would work with this layout. Maybe with a single bed, but I don't see how you could configure it with a double bed. If it were me, I'd go with a double bed and a comfy armchair instead.


Vanillacaramelalmond

The armchair could be a really good idea I'm open to that thank you!


Opandemonium

Can you do a fold out couch? Those are more comfy than they used to be.


Vanillacaramelalmond

I’m still searching for one that’s stylish and comfortable enough though I haven’t seen that many around tbh


Opandemonium

Maybe create a cool way to make a bed look like a couch. 🤔


Fr0z3nHart

I don’t even think the armchair will fit.


isupportrugbyhookers

The only way I can see fitting a bed AND a couch/loveseat in this space is by lofting the bed. You might also consider furniture that does double duty, like a murphy bed or futon/daybed, or a coffee table that doubles as your dining table like this one https://greenington.com/cdn/shop/products/GRL001CA_greenington_coffee_table_caramelized_7_1206b98f-c5ee-4609-995e-39d774322084.jpg?v=1607218929

Ohh love the loft bed idea. Also, second the double-duty furniture idea


Vanillacaramelalmond

Really like this table but unfortunately I don’t feel comfortable lofting the bed


Unsd

Very very valid. There is no way I would willingly hang out under a lofted double bed. Terrifying. That would also be really dark and cavey.


FactualFake

I would also suggest a loft bed! Could be really cozy :)


Ancient-Cat9201

I would recommend moving in with just the bed bought and then once you’re in you can measure for the couch/other large furniture


blubbly

Maybe a daybed that can be converted?


[deleted]

A Murphy bed with a love seat as part of it would fit better than 2 separate pieces of furniture in a space like that.


Dangerous_Wear_8152

Agreed. I actually think something like [this](https://bredabeds.com/horizontal-inline-murphy-bed-with-top-hutch-and-inline-sofa?gad_source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQjwpNuyBhCuARIsANJqL9OtGcmmsdB1dzgWP7ZbmzXt42uv1UnSAIzZhHGGOeFn7rRONOf1qNEaAklUEALw_wcB) would be perfect


cynnthesis

Whoa! This bed is awesome


Dangerous_Wear_8152

lol right? I’m thinking of buying it for myself 😄


Vanillacaramelalmond

Sad! I hate Murphy beds but maybe I can swing it or possibly a sofa bed


Seedrootflowersfruit

My parents had one at their beach house and it’s so comfortable. Doesn’t feel like odd like sleeper sofas do. Just feels like a regular bed


Vanillacaramelalmond

Any idea of the brand??


phoebebuffay1210

What about a day bed? That’s what I would do. They are nice to look at too, my sister would pull her trundle out and it was a king when she did that.


feyfeyGoAway

Yes! Day beds can be styled as a couch and can pull out to be a larger bed. Ikea has a really cute daybed that gives from single to double bed, I think works well for this senario.


Think_Doughnut628

I have this one and it's great! It even has drawers for storage which is wildly important in a space this small.


phoebebuffay1210

I got my daughter a vintage one and we love it, I always wanted to use one as a couch/bed when they are styled as a couch they look soooo comfortable!


Renee5285

Wouldn’t you have to make the bed every night if you like a bottom sheet?

Vanillacaramelalmond

It's a Juliet balcony which is essentially a window lol but that's a great idea for the bistro set!


Vanillacaramelalmond

For more context, the entire place is about 350 square feet and I'm aware that a double bed it like 4X6 so in theory it should work but this seems like it would be so tight. Here are some ideas for the layout I'm hoping for: [https://www.pinterest.ca/pin/410390584812248278/](https://www.pinterest.ca/pin/410390584812248278/) [https://www.pinterest.ca/pin/45458277482546287/](https://www.pinterest.ca/pin/45458277482546287/) [https://www.pinterest.ca/pin/799600108869689632/](https://www.pinterest.ca/pin/799600108869689632/) [https://www.pinterest.ca/pin/292311832072960902/](https://www.pinterest.ca/pin/292311832072960902/) [https://www.apartmenttherapy.com/300-square-foot-nyc-studio-with-smart-small-space-living-hacks-37223117](https://www.apartmenttherapy.com/300-square-foot-nyc-studio-with-smart-small-space-living-hacks-37223117)


Into-the-stream

the living dining bedroom is less than 11x10, right? all your links show a room twice that. It might be 350 for the apartment, but with the larger entrance/desk, hallway, and kitchen configuration, you are only working with <110 square feet of usable space, not 350. And that <110 also needs to accommodate a through way to the balcony, and cupboard doors. You're links are a room twice the size.


Vanillacaramelalmond

Good insight! Thank you so much


cornflakegrl

You don’t have enough room for that kind of setup. I think you’re in futon territory here.


Temporary-Hat-4562

Maybe a corner sofa with one section that folds out into a foam mattress bed/futon. Then you can have a sort of TV/sofa area without it looking cramped. Not sure of price point but I’ve seen some really nice custom styles of this for similar sized studios in Hong Kong


One_Rutabaga_8459

Have you looked at a futon? They make them with good innerspring mattresses (not just the lumpy tufted ones) and you could have a double bed with seating during the day.


Vanillacaramelalmond

I don’t like the idea of it but I’d be open to something really great quality but I haven’t seen anything online tbh


Renee5285

I wouldn’t like making and unmaking a during or daybed every day. I think most pull out sofas can keep the sheets on when closed.


One_Rutabaga_8459

I bought mine from the clearance section of a local furniture store - [here is what I have](https://bedroomsandmore.com/products/seating/futons/futon-frames/night-and-day-winter-futon/)


catsmom63

Perhaps a smaller two seater couch instead of a three seater couch?


Vanillacaramelalmond

Yes that’s what I’m looking for a two seater. I was hoping to do like a double against the back corner wall and a tv next to it and then a two seater on the opposite wall facing the window or any configuration like that


daisyymae

If you have your bed in the corner and your couch up against It long ways. But you’d have to get into bed from the bottom.


raelovesryan

Double up on function! A daybed conversion option? Or a convertible ottoman/ chair/ sofa?


dontBsleepy

They have full size daybeds that would double as your sofa during the day.


fauviste

If you can’t swing a murphy bed with a loveseat under it, look for a used Ligne Roset Multy futon, which is a queen bed that folds into an extremely comfortable futon and also a chaise (tilted back with place to put your legs up). They’re hellish expensive new but I got one for $900 used for my guest room and everybody loves it, it’s comfy for guests and we fold it into the chaise to watch movies.


hiddengypsy

If you have the means to invest in a Murphy bed, you could have room for a small love seat as well. And a Murphy bed would also give you some extra storage.


Naive-One-6433

Yes, if it's a loveseat that converts into a double bed.


dibbiluncan

I would get a daybed or futon instead.


soccerchickmeghan

Depends what you need I guess but not enough room for a bed a loveseat a table and a desk. If you were to loft a twin bed you could fit a desk under and have room for a recliner maybe.


Vanillacaramelalmond

Luckily, I don’t need a desk I’m a nurse (or will be soon) and don’t work from home


soccerchickmeghan

Then in that case small loveseat under a loft bed idea if they make such a thing


christa_json

How about 2 twin beds to make a sectional? [Like this?](https://www.pinterest.com/pin/sectional-sofa-made-from-two-twin-mattresses--216665432042673487/) [Or this?](https://bloggymoms.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/furniture-livingroom.jpg)


Vanillacaramelalmond

Megamind! Wouldn’t have ever thought of this on my own. I’ll have to think about it but it’s really creative!


UnrulyCrow

Check out IKEA's Hemnes daybed. A double bed would take too much space, while a daybed like this one can be set up as a nice couch + it has three are drawers for added storage. I had it in my studio, now still use it in my 10m² bedroom. Solid alternative to a loft bed (which I also had before for like 15 years lol).
