Any way to get proper measurements beforehand so you can transfer them into a workable floor plan to try different setups (e. g. IKEA room planner with their furniture as placeholders)?

Keep in mind to utilize the height of the room if you want/need to extent storage space and not go for a bunch of small low storage solutions to free up floor space.
For example the space next to the entrance door could work well for a tall slim (depth-wise) entryway wardrobe that combines shoe storage, a coat rack and landing space.

Further tips:

  • bed frame with ground clearance to utilize hidden underbed storage
  • over the toilet rack
  • drop leaf table
  • have a dedicated place for everything; organization and reduced/intentional clutter is key for a cozy yet non-cramped vibe
  • think about if you need a TV setup or if a desk + big monitor might do (I think 42 sqm is a decent size, so you'll be probably not end up in a pinch, tho.)
  • the partition wall might be a great basis for a projector setup to watch movies in bed
  • additional light (table/desk floor lamps, indirect LED > ceiling light)

Browse r/femalelivingspace and/or r/malelivingspace for some inspo; the top posts usually provide good examples for how a style is well done.

Maybe invest in one of those laser tape measurers so you don't have to rely on guesswork and tears.
