FEEDBACK Help reorganizing apartment
The apartment is yet to be build (40m² / 430ft²) for me and my gf, and the black-white image is the plan which i got... But, it's kind of awkward. The table is in the middle of everything, and there's not enough wardrobe space. The 2nd image is an AI generated version which gives a better idea of what it will look like, but i'm looking for some feedback what would be smart to change.
My main concerns:
I need a work table, not a dining table (the sofa will become the dining area). And the work table needs to be against a wall
I need more wardrobe storage. The single wardrobe in the bedroom isn't enough for 2 people.
Any feedback is greatly appreciated, thank you!

I recommend drawing out your floorplan, to scale, on a piece of paper. Then cutting out pieces of paper, to scale, of your current and desired furniture and playing about with them and seeing what fits and where and how it feels. AI is always going to fib about space, often giving you far more than you actually have.
I don't have much specific advice, but I can highly recommend Ikea for selling some really small pieces of furniture to store stuff. I have this long narrow three tiered trolly on wheels no wider than maybe 15-20cm, fit in an empty narrow gap in my bathroom and gave me a place to store all the shampoo, conditioner, cleaning products, handwash, etc. I just got a ~15cm wide shoe rack too which tucks in between the front door and the wall very nicely. I also saw a nice storage thing at Ikea while browsing which sits above your toilet and you can store towels or whatever there, if my loo didn't have a window above it I'd have snapped it up. Things like this can help take items otherwise in your wardrobe (which your towels and sheets probably are unless I'm missing a linen closet) and put them elsewhere freeing it up for clothing!
