Fitting 3 rooms in a 40 sqm living room. Ideas

I like Yvonne's suggestion best, it simply leaves the room more spacious and gives the sofa the position of a "retreat option"

For the remaining living room definitely the best solution. But the office is quite "awkward".

I also find the room without the office very difficult to furnish. In my opinion, a dilemma of almost square rooms.

Yes, furnishing is not easy. I wonder what the planner had in mind.

The planner was probably less interested in that. On such a plan, a large room just looks nice at first .. then some table and sofa are indicated. It's only the resident who thinks about things like the correct TV position, etc. ;) ;).

This is how it looks I am currently leaning towards this option: At the bottom left, i.e. where the chimney is, to make a square and the door in This way we still have the option to place the TV to the right of the balcony and the sofa against the office wall. Upstairs I then have space for a reading corner etc

This is the case anyway with the division and the creation of this mini office in my opinion. The whole idea of separating the office destroys this wonderful room. So far, I find every suggestion here terrible, including my own... ?

That’s why I deliberately kept quiet at first, because I hoped that a closed office was a crazy idea. But it isn’t. I would have preferred an open solution. Now I would also prefer my solution ;) However, it may be that Badneuling wants to buy all new furniture but has something completely different in mind than what I want to suggest with my drawing. While I am thinking in a Scandinavian light style, a bulky version of a sofa will certainly make a strange impression. An inset room within the room only turns the living/dining area into compromises: one must not forget that. Only the office person benefits, namely having a closed workplace. I am surprised that for several years so much costly frill is being done ;)

... can you sketch that from post 69, I don't understand what you are trying to achieve.

For the 5 years, I also much more see that a workplace will be set up in the bedroom. A walk-in closet does not necessarily have to be. Tearing out the tiles because of 5 years I also find quite meticulous. High-quality carpet tiles also do the job for the time.
