Advice on room layout

[riddler]

Ok on the left & right of the fire is 2 upper level bricked areas, i currently have a chest of draws on one side and a dvd rack on the other.

What i need to fit into this room is the following:

- Computer desk + chair
- 32" LCD along with xbox + sky
- Single bed (folds out into double)
- Couch

Any suggestions on the layout? the only problem is i'm not sure how long the wiring for Sky+ is and it's currently setup just by the windows.

Is your room on fire?

lol I was going to ask - do you mean fire exit or fireplace?

Lol it's a fireplace

Is it an actual fireplace or a closed one where a fireplace once was?

Also, any chance of some scale?

I always recommend Google Sketchup (http://www.sketchup.com) for these kinds of things. It can help you quickly visualise where everything will fit. Nothing worse than buying furniture that you think will fit to find it's an inch too wide.

If it's a closed fireplace, you can always do this (very similar to what my housemate has done and it's very comfortable).

Yellow = Desk
Blue = Sofa
Brown = Bed
Grey = TV

Nice idea nix, i've always had the TV on the otherside of the room next to the fireplace, it's an open fireplace btw.

I second that. Great free program, I used it to remodel our new house, see what knocking down walls and shifting doors would look like. It's really easy to use yet a powerful tool
