Congratulations on your first apartment! Do you have any furniture? Are you asking for furniture layout or just decor suggestions? The rendering is a bit off, so don’t follow that layout in the dining and living room areas. A dining table would be positioned in the middle of the dining space, though it may not leave much room for functional counter stools. Slim profile stools would work best. The seating should be positioned closer to the tv…so float the seating. The good thing is you’ll have some extra room for ?? …Maybe a reading nook, a work area, a bar.

We need a ton of info. Do you live alone? What size is your TV? How many seats for eating do you NEED and also for the LR seating. You have some odd sized spaces so a lot of thought needs to go into them .

FB MarketPlace might be a place to look, although I'm wary of upholstered furniture.

Start small. You need a good bed and that you should not skimp on.

I would get a sofa and two chairs. Or just start with a sofa in a neutral color.

Get 2 bar stool for the counter.

Area rug, some art for the walls come next.

Each month as you are able, add one more thing.

I would look into your local group for freebies! There is great stuff out there. Some of the best stuff I got when I moved into my first apartment was from the bulk pick days in wealthy neighborhoods. Call the town and find out when those days are happening, then grab some friends and a pickup truck.

I got a full living room set for nothing - it lasted me over 10 years before I did something else.

Local thrift shops are also great . Artwork - you can do yourself. Just have some fun or go with your friends to a wine and paint night.

Just take your time. No need to rush.

If you can, always walk around with a sample of paint colors or fabrics so if you stumble on something great, you can see if it works.

Congratulations and good luck!

Spend time on Apartmenttherapy.com. When I was a renter, I spent my time on there and came over to Houzz when I started earning more and purchased a home. There are more useful apartment and wallet friendly ideas on that site.

Also, figure out what the bare minimum is that you need for your space - a bed, a place to sit, do you need a place to work from home? A place to eat. Get the practical stuff first.

Craigslist and Facebook Marketplace are fantastic. I get most of my furniture there.

The floor plans provided include disclaimers about their accuracy, and it's clear that the drawing is not to scale with the dimensions listed. Here's a "corrected" floor plan that approximates the listed dimensions. (The living room especially is quite tight, if those dimensions are correct.) It's a great apartment with generous bedrooms, but measure the actual living room space before you buy any big sofas!

@User thank you! We are looking for both layout ideas and decor ideas. We have a 7.5ft Grey sofa with two light pink chairs as well as a gold framed glass coffee table, this all being from my mom. Thank you so much for the good ideas!

@Patricia Colwell Consulting Hi thank you for your questions! This is my boyfriend's and mine's first apartment together, so we'll need seating for two. Our tv is 46" and are planning on most likely floating our LR seating to fit the space better.

Consider a futon rather than a sofa as they are budget friendly. I suggest looking at some Impressionist paintings by Monet such as Water Lilies or other paintings by him on Etsy, Wayfair, etc. They have prints and canvases that are not that expensive awash in color and light. I suggest a floor lamp, a nice coffee table---glass is a nice choice. A swivel armchair. A tv to mount on the wall, possibly an area rug. Good luck and enjoy your new apartment. Add a nice big plant too.
