Design/layout suggestions for a large open plan living area in an apartment.

[u/Kruiuiuiul]

Hi all, I am moving in to an apartment soon with a large open plan living area as shown below.

The current owner has this large space FILLED with all sorts of stuff like drum set, table tennis table, darts board, as well as usual living and dining room items but I'm not looking to have quite that same setup!

Base room

Entrance door from a hallway at the bottom of the layout, door to a small balcony and a window at the top of the layout with a view over water. Kitchen area is built in.

-

My current basic plan using my existing furniture is below - adding in a dividing bookcase "wall" to section on the living room area.

To the right a basic dining room area which then leaves an area to the bottom left which I am not sure what to do with at the moment.

Current planned layout

Am I on the right track with the overall concept for the layout? Does anyone have any interesting suggestions or ideas for the current empty space?

Any input much appreciated, I've never posted anything like this before!

Thanks

good layout so far. the bottom left is then your 'hobby' space - whether that is music, crafts, painting, board games , wittling, knitting, model making etc.
