design your own DJ ROOM!

ok, heres a plan of the room i will convert into a kickin room.

I have a couple pieces of furiture i need to put palces in here.

#1 - 7.5'X 3.2' COuch

#2 - TV about 2.5' X 1.5'

#3 - Tower CPU with big monitor (21')

#4 - DJ setup - 2 decks small battle style mixer (space for dual cd mixer..)

Desks will be crafted to hold the tv and cpu, but where do i put it all!? Help me with the layout, so i can build a killer room.

the Wall on the botton with the 2' and 7' lengts is a closet. It neds 1.5 ft so the doors open. the 9 foot wall on top is a huge window on to a balcony. the 2.5' are all doors.

HELP!!!

Just bouncing ideas, so they're not size specific or anything

How about, have your booth sort of C shaped (sort of squared off - know what I mean?) coming out from the 10 foot wall, maybe 1 foot, have it change 45 degrees and run for about 9 foot, then change again 45 degrees (so its like a square with the corner planed off) and run for another foot or two. Have you decks down one end of the "angle" bit, allowing this to change levels down to a height suitable as a desk, where you have your computer.

(Just ignore the full stops, its the only way I could get it to work out right)

The top bit (booth end) can go right against the 10 foot wall, allowing you to enter the booth down the computer end, if you give yourself 3-4 foot or so, gives yourself an entrance and also to be able to open the cupboards.

So one end is a good booth height, and then it drops down to normal desk height. Don't slope it, just drop it. As you face from your booth/desk, you look out the window, so have it in the bottom right corner. You could even have the TV in the opposite corner, so as you play or use the computer, you can also watch the TV. You can either put some shelves under the table, or you can use the "dead" area behind the booth and put a coffee table sort of thing and use that for vinyl storage.

Hope that makes sense. Not particularly good feng shui , but its the best I can do off the top of my head - plus I suck at design.

Actually, I wouldn't have a 45 degree change, maybe 60 degrees so the entire things sits closer to the wall, gives yourself more room outside the booth, maybe put the couch against the booth facing outwards to watch the TV and also be able to look out the window.
