A coral bed, a compact sofa and a sunlit desk give this small studio three distinct places to sleep, relax and work—while keeping the middle open.
This design concept uses an assumed 12 × 14 ft furnished main room: 168 square feet of clear interior floor area. The kitchen, bathroom and closet are outside this furniture study.
Three zones, one open middle
Sleep at the back left. A full bed sits along the north and west walls, with its accessible long side facing the room. Coral linen gives this corner a clear identity. It is a corner-bed arrangement with access from one long side, rather than a bed you can walk around.
Relax near the entry. The small loveseat sits farther down the west wall, facing into the room. A flat rug and the larger artwork make it feel like a place to sit, not an extra chair squeezed beside the bed. A small round table occupies the gap between these two zones, so a coffee table does not have to fill the route.
Work beside the light. A shallow desk sits against the north wall under the window, on the opposite side from the bed. Its chair pulls back within the work zone. The three areas share colors and materials, but each has a different direction and purpose.
The scaled 12 × 14 ft layout
The green strip reserves 36 inches through the middle, with a 36-inch-deep turn at the entry. In this model it stays outside the fixed furniture, the chair-use box and the sofa-front use area. The assumed 36-inch entry door swings into an empty corner.
At the desk, the plan allows a 30 × 36 inch chair-use box and an 18-inch-deep storage service strip. These are planning allowances, not manufacturer clearance requirements. They overlap, so move the chair before opening the desk storage. Check the actual chair base, drawer travel and cabinet-door swing before copying this corner.
The furniture sizes behind the plan
The plan uses the outer dimensions of the three IKEA products listed below, checked on IKEA US on October 22, 2026. The product names identify the footprints used in the drawing.
| Piece used for the plan | Outer footprint | Placement |
|---|---|---|
| SLATTUM Full bed frame 405.712.53 | 54 3/4 in wide × 77 1/8 in long | Back-left corner; 3 in from the two backing walls |
| GLOSTAD loveseat 704.890.11 | 47 5/8 in wide × 30 3/4 in deep | West wall, facing east; its width runs along the wall |
| MICKE desk 802.130.74 | 41 3/8 in wide × 19 5/8 in deep | North wall under the window; 3 in from north and east walls |
The drawing also includes a generic 12-inch-diameter side table and a generic 24 × 24 inch chair footprint. Those are assumed sizes, not verified product recommendations. Delivery, stock, mattress and textile choices need a separate check.
Keep the work corner separate without a divider
The desk faces the window instead of the bed, while the sofa faces across the room. That change in orientation gives each activity its own place. Repeating a little coral on the sofa cushion ties the room together without needing a bulky divider or another storage unit in the center.
Before you copy it
- Measure the usable room inside the baseboards and mark the actual door, window, outlets and any heater or radiator. This concept assumes a 48-inch north-wall window with a 32-inch sill and no radiator below it.
- Use the furniture’s outer frame sizes, then tape the chair, desk storage and door-use zones on the floor. Keep the bed’s one-sided access in mind.
- Allow for furniture delivery and any storage, kitchen or bathroom access that your own room needs. A geometrically possible layout still needs a real-room check for comfortable use and applicable requirements.
Want the same feel with different furniture? Keep the order—sleep at the back, a compact sofa near the entry, a shallow desk by the light—and remeasure each replacement before moving it into the plan.
