Depending on your budget, go to a furniture store (more budget) or IKEA with the intent of not buying anything but walking through and looking at everything. See what you like, what you don't. Sometimes you'll see a piece that just says "hey, I want that" and either take a picture, or note it somehow.

That's the difficult part :) I've never experienced that, despite having visited those stores.

A chair is a chair is a chair, to me.

Take videos and pics of your room, spend 20$ on fiverr to have your room designed, buy the suggestions. Best way imho if you have 0 clue imho

Sounds like the easiest way indeed. Thinking of measuring the place, creating a floorplan, and handing it over to someone who knows.

Danke
