Zoning

The first thing to think about when arranging a studio apartment is how to correctly divide the space. On the one hand, it should look whole and harmonious, and on the other, it should be clearly structured. At your disposal are partitions, bar counters, shelves and screens.

Zones can also be highlighted with color, print, texture, or carpets.

Typically, the kitchen and living room remain open areas. But the bed can be hidden: after all, the bedroom is a rather intimate space. Ordinary curtains will help to protect it from prying eyes.

And if you create a niche, you get a full-fledged room.

Another interesting solution is a cube bedroom. In addition to hiding your personal space, it can be moved throughout the apartment.

Second floor

If you are the proud owner of a studio with high ceilings, creating a two-level space would be a good solution for you. Upstairs, you can organize a bedroom or work space, and make the stairs a storage space.

An option for rooms with conventional ceilings is a loft bed. It is especially suitable for very small apartments.

Furniture

One of the common mistakes that studio owners make is to buy furniture and other interior details that are too large or, conversely, too small. Both options only emphasize the modest footage of the room or just look strange. So try to give preference to the golden mean.

Bad example. One gets the impression that a midget and a giant live in this apartment.

Good example. Optimally sized furniture hints that this is the home of an ordinary person.

If you are afraid to overload the space with an abundance of furniture (for example, a dining table and a set of chairs), pay attention to the options made of transparent plastic and glass. Also take a look at non-monolithic models - they look much lighter.

For small studios, multifunctional furniture will be the salvation. For example, a bed or ottomans with storage space.

Another solution is transforming furniture. For example, a bed hiding in a closet.

By the way, you can even hide your workplace or kitchen.

But it's better to forget about massive wardrobes. The best solution is built-in storage that merges with the walls, or open shelving that doesn't look so bulky.

And if you are a fan of minimalism in clothes, then you can afford an open hanger.

Registration

When choosing a color scheme for an apartment, remember: dark shades give the space brutality and drama, light ones - lightness.

The best decoration for a small apartment is light tone and bright details. So it will look spacious and not boring.

To visually expand the studio, use mirrors and glass surfaces (glass can also be used for zoning). And if possible, give up curtains: the more light in the apartment, the better.
