I’d suggest investing in a nice sofa bed, so you can fold it up when you have guests or if you’re feeling a bit claustrophobic and want to have a bit more room. I have this muji one which is very comfy and bigger than my normal bed when unfolded: https://www.muji.eu/pages/online.asp?Sec=19&Sub=82&PID=5266&qclr=5055321399161

For the tv, could you mount it on the wall? Always good to save floor space wherever possible. Also get a chromecast if possible, honestly just cause it’s great haha; can use tv as a speaker if you have Spotify, can watch YouTube on it, watch films etc.

I’d also suggest investing in one good pan that works as a pot too, something wide with tall rims, perfect for basically everything, frying as well as pasta etc. I did so for several years when I only had a hotplate, something like this: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0026OSRSU. Will save a lot of space.

Also, in the kitchen, consider getting matching spice jars and putting them on the shelves; it’ll remove much of the busy look that regular spice packets have, like this: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07KM8971W. And also get a big chopping board to use on top of the sink, I’ve seen a bunch of youtubers who live in Japan doing that.

Of course, plants, hanging from the ceiling would be best to save on floor space. A window basket with some trailing plants (maybe English ivy if available?) would be nice on the balcony too.

I’d also get a foldable table and chairs for the balcony to make it like a cute lil outdoor living space when the weather is nice enough, but suitable for inside too, something like this: https://www.ikea.com/gb/en/p/saltholmen-table-2-folding-chairs-outdoor-beige-s29218107/.

Maybe a low small table would be good inside as well, to act as both a bedside table and coffeetable for the sofa bed. I’d also suggest getting a little cable tidy system, clear up the clutter as much as poss, like this: https://www.ikea.com/gb/en/p/romma-cable-management-box-with-lid-white-90289836/

Honestly think just a sofa bed and the foldable chairs & table will be pretty much all the furniture you need. If it’s not nice outside, you can bring the table & chairs inside, and if they’re weatherproof they can be stored outside to keep maximum floor space. And you can always eat dinner on your lap on a sofa bed! Though it does depend how many clothes you have, if they don’t all fit in the inbuilt cupboards then perhaps a clothes rail, which generally looks p nice and minimalist anywhere imo, perhaps could even fit in the hallway if preferred.

Wow that was an essay holy f.
