Personally, the bed needs to come off the wall.
What is the round thing near the door? And what are the 2 rectangles? I'm guessing a bookcase and a wardrobe, but if both are wardrobes, my answer will change!

piano and piano stool - there was no piano option on the app 😅 i worry that moving the bed further out from the wall would create a weird unusable space as the "corridor" between bed and tv console would be less than a foot long.

thanks for your comment

Are there 2 people using the bed? Also i assume with a piano it is an adult or at least teen bedroom?

I would move the bed away from the window and further towards the door, so it’s more central to the room. I’d then move the piano so it sits on the wall to the right of the window, presuming the stool doesn’t stick out too much.
I think that should balance the space better - at the moment you have all the furniture pushed to the walls and a massive gap in the middle which isn’t much good to anyone (unless you’re a tap dancer!)

Does the TV have to be at the end of the bed? If so, could it be wall mounted?
Agree with others that the bed needs shifting down the room.

I would rotate the bed 90 degrees and move the book shelves next to it. Then you have the music/piano area near the door and relaxing / reading things by the bed.

three reasons:

  1. you can only get into bed from one side so if there are two of you it’s a pain if someone wants a wee in the night
  2. you can’t easily draw the curtains
  3. I hate rooms where the furniture is pushed to the edges. They are never welcoming.

As this is a multifunctional room and it's for a young adult and usually only one person using the bed. I might...
Shelve all the way across the window wall. Turn the bed and tuck the foot under the shelf, TV on shelf at foot of bed.
Piano next to bed on window wall if there is room or potentially behind the head of the bed.
Wardrobe behind the door, reading nook/ gaming area the other side. if room I'd squeeze in a comfy chair next to the wardrobe. A row of hooks all the way down the long wall, for hats, shoes, bags, clothes etc.
