Be creative, unless you rent. Just rearrange a few walls to suit. I kid of course. I'm sure with some head scratching and a beer or two, you'll figure out a way
When I first arrived here I was looking to rent an apartment, I figured a furnished one was the best bet because I didn't want to buy furniture and then find out I was going back to Canada. So I got a lesson in what furnished really means. I don't know what "Furnished" means in other countries, but in Canada it usually means you can move right in and not need to ad a thing, all the furniture, bedding etc. is there. Here "Furnished" means that the place has kitchen cabinets, fridge and counter top burners, a wardrobe (very small), a bed that looks like there was a satanic ritual performed on it involving a dagger and a virgin and light fixtures. "Semi-furnished" means lights and taps are installed, no kitchen cabinets or counters, nothing else in the house, in some cases no doors on the bathrooms. "Unfurnished" is an empty shell of a house that in Canada would mean that the carpenters hadn't yet finished the final work and of course there are no light fixtures, I don't mean "Light bulbs" I am talking about the fixtures you screw the bulbs into.
I have been here long enough that when I move back to Canada I'll have to fill a 40' container and ship it back.
