Looking for advice on arranging furniture for my small bedroom.
Suggest a furniture layout for a small bedroom
I need help with how to arrange this small room, adding more furniture. I’m stuck ☹️
Help me make this small bedroom (11ft X 7ft) cute and functional!

Edit: Turns out my wardrobe has much more space than I was giving it credit for. Most of my stuff can fit in there, to the point that I will only need a small about of storage. I guess that's a lesson in not overthinking things.
I just moved into a new flat, I've got a relatively small bedroom (about 3.38m x 2.61m) and I'm having trouble figuring out a good furniture layout. The main things I want are: A double bed, a computer desk (ideally 140cm x 60cm), a dresser and a bookcase (or some form of shelves/storage). Since I am renting I don't want to put any holes in the wall, so I am wary of floating shelves (although I'm willing to try it if there are clear enough benefits and I can do it safely).
Here are the layouts that I have tried so far (furniture and art are just placeholders):
Design 1: The first layout I tried. The mirror is definitely a bit awkward (my actual wardrobe door is flat), and the bookcase right in front of the door is definitely awkward.
Design 2: Better lighting for a webcam, better mirror placement, I'm mostly happy with the layout but I don't like the useless space in the corner with the dresser/bookcase. Floor plan for reference. I also don't know how I feel about the rubbish bin and laundry basket being right next to the door.
Design 2.5: If I replace the bookcase with something narrower then I can also fit a bedside table. Makes accessing the shelves a little awkward though. Perhaps I can put the bedside table on wheels, so I can move it out of the way when I want?
Design 3: If I bite the bullet and get a shorter (120cm) desk. Makes desk space a lot more cramped but is doable I think. The furniture arrangement is also a lot more straightforward.
Design 4: Also with a shorter desk. There's something nice about the bed being in the middle of the room but it does make desk space more cramped and reduces the usefulness of the remaining space, eg. if I want to do exercise or something.
I'm mainly focusing on arrangement at the moment rather than decor, but I would appreciate advice on how to make things look nice. My budget is pretty tight (maybe up to $1000 after the base furniture) so I can't go too crazy.
Many thanks for any advice.
