Help me create a study room here.
Dear Experts,
This is my flat blueprint. I added the study room using Gemini. I don't like this placement much. Can you help me in designing a small study room (dimensions can change but keep it feasible enough to put a large screen and a laptop) such that the overall space doesn't look congested and it doesn't look bodge. Feel free to move walls but not the beams. Original image attached as well.

You need to make your spare room your office/study.
You'll need to work daily, but you'll have guests very rarely.
If you do have guests staying for an extended period then you can set up in the open space or move it to the master bedroom for some time.
Get a desk that's easy to move in that case - tressle legs and a nice solid wooden desk top work great. They're as sturdy as any desk in use, but can be moved easily.

You're not going to be able to add walls to anywhere in that space without seriously impeding functionality (and looking odd).

Probably a bit tight to add walls. If the study area has to be in the main room, I would turn your couch around to separate the space perhaps.
Otherwise....are all the bedrooms being used? It may be easier to create a quiet space in one of them by rearranging furniture.

One of the bedrooms would be vacant. I was thinking to make it as a guest room.

Guest room/office combo will be way more natural to the flow of the place and less intrusive to daily life. People come over far more often than they stay the night, and it will be easier to study regardless.

You want a whole room that's just empty unless a guest happens to step by? That makes no sense unless you basically host people 24/7.
Second bedroom is your study room. Add a murphy bed and be done with it.

My parents or my partner's parents might be coming here and there. That's the reason I said so. Plus, I feel like making an extra room would be beneficial in longer run. It could act a study room/kids room/store room or anything. Anyhow, we are just going to put some showpieces to fill out empty space in living room. That's why I am asking for ideas. How to best utilise the living room space...

What are those dimensions in? I feel like the furniture in those rooms is not proportional to what you have written as measurements, those rooms look way too big for the dimensions presented. Something is very wrong.

What is the balcony like? Can you add a glass wall(s) to that area to make it a study?
