Option 1 for me too. Personally I'd go for a cowhide with an arc lamp over the sofa. I know it's becoming "common" if you're on here but I love the look and think it would really suit the room. Maybe a couple of cushions on each sofa laid out as per the attached pic from the design hunter (not with the throw) which looks suitable for a bachelor pad!

No problem - I use google chrome as my browser which allows you to right-click an image and select 'search google for image'. This is generally known an a reverse image search and google will helpfully list websites that feature the same image. Its a great way to find sources and now you know the secret its easy :)

Thank you so much Tani, Carolina and So-Real for taking the trouble to reply and for such good ideas and photos as well! I am torn between which way to go! If I box up to the window sill should I go up to the left hand corner of the room next to the current basin but presumably this will affect the basin width-wise if I do put it there? The current one is 60cm wide so I could get away with the protrusion as the boxing is already there but would it look ok coming out along there? Or as you say I could put the toilet where the sink is and add a basin on a countertop under teh window. The window sill is 86cm high and I cannot seem to get the dimensions for one of the countertop ones on Google which is frurstrating but will keep trying! In my other bathroom the sink height is 82cm so that could possibly work.... What do you think? Thanks again

Thanks everyone SO MUCH for your ideas and input. I think we have decided to scrap the 2 bed idea for the moment (not permanently though so your plans will come in handy down the line!!) due to costs as getting the ideal layout will involve so much remodelling and we have the other 3 to do as well. Plus we may extend out in the future so could create the second bedroom then! My head is exploding from decision fatigue and frustration with it so..... I have a new plan. Leave as one double bed but I like the idea some mentioned about moving the kitchen into that middle room! So now the lounge will be a lounge diner with the table in the window as kindly suggested. It will double as a spare bedroom with sofa bed(s) in! Then drop down to the kitchen with keeping the fire door into the hallway (hall will wall off so it's part of the one flat and not accessed from the hall and that gives us a storage cupboard over the old set of 3 stairs). Then the current bathroom we will create an entrance from the hall and push the shower back to the outside wall so it's a good size. Door from the hall stays for the main bedroom. (help with bathroom size would be good?) We figured if you have bedrooms at either end then either party can use the kitchen and bathroom in the middle of the flat without walking through the lounge! And the same for the bathroom. What do you think???? (if I could delete all my other posts I would as I've cluttered up my thread now, LOL)
