Chambre en colocation

Une idée...

A bedsit, also known as a bed-sitting room, is a form of rented accommodation common in Great Britain consisting of a single room with a shared bathroom and lavatory; they are part of a legal category of dwellings referred to as Houses in multiple occupation.

Reference:

il me semble que la phrase est ironique ici. Le salon n'est pas grand, du coup si on y met un lit à deux places, on n'a plus d'autre choix que s'asseoir sur le lit.
A mon avis il faut éluder le "bedstitting room" qui fait écho à living room.
