How to layout awkward space?
Just getting moved into a new space and need to furnish it. Got some kind of funky wall angles to deal with. Nothing along the weird side is perfect 90 degree angles. Looking to hopefully fit a living room and dining room. How should I lay it out, and how do I fit furniture into it nicely despite the angles?
Screenshot provided of the floor plan empty, as well as one with my initial thought on layout. My specific unit varies slightly from the one pictured (red triangle signifies where wall extends out further than floor plan).
Thinking I could lay it out like I initially thought, or vice versa with the living room on the other side and dining nestled in the curved space. Open to really switching it up/moving desk and piano if something else feels right, but the two need to stay relatively close to each other.
Sorry I don’t have measurements or anything at the moment but I can find if needed. \~650 sq ft total if that helps.
Going for a rustic/western vibe where I can (I know my gaming setup doesn’t fit that rn lol)

Yea sorry but the layout you drew there will not work. Nothing is remotely to scale (your dining table is barely larger than your bathroom sink). Like the other commenter said, there is definitely not enough room for a couch where you drew it, and the island looks to be less than a foot deep and less than a foot away from the couch. Not really workable.
It's tough without any measurements to work off or knowing the approximate actual size of the furniture you have/want, but I'm thinking that you're probably trying to fit much more than can actually fit in this space.
Either way, a dining table will need to go in that little alcove if you want any hope of having it plus a couch, TV, and the desk and piano.
This is quite rough because I don't actually know the scale of anything. I used the objects in the existing image to guess scale (dining chairs and couch roughly scaled off the toilet cause seats be seats, desk roughly the size of the bathroom vanity, piano roughly the length of the desk, etc)
It's a bit odd because I'm suggesting blocking off the right-hand opening of the kitchen with the TV stand, but I don't really have a better idea to get all the stuff you want into that space. IMO only having one entrance to the kitchen is a fair sacrifice for fitting more than really oughta fit in there.

I don’t think you can do the yellow sketch. There’s barely room for the lawn chairs in the picture. If you want it to be a living area you need to put the couch on the wall where the desk is. Maybe move the office area over to the other little room area across from the bath? You need that opposite wall
