How to Arrange a Studio Apartment

In modern, newly built buildings, you often come across studio-type apartments. This is one of the best options for optimal space utilization. In such cases, it is crucial how you arrange furniture in the room and what type of models you choose. There are several factors, considering which will help you feel maximally comfortable in a studio apartment, so that neither size bothers you and you arrange the interior tastefully from a visual perspective as well.

 

Space Planning and Zoning

When arranging a studio, the first and most important step is proper space distribution. In order to separate rest, kitchen, and work spaces from each other, you can divide them in different ways. Zoning will help you arrange the bedroom, work corner, dining area, and living room as separate spaces.

 

There are several methods to separate zones. Studio apartment furniture will help you create visual boundaries. For example, a sofa can become a natural divider between the bedroom and the living room. Curtains and screens create an even clearer barrier. Lighting also plays an important role in zoning. Each functional area should be equipped with an individual power source. The main thing is not to lose the feeling of freedom in the open space. For this, zones should transition from one to another harmoniously.

 

Furniture Selection and Multifunctional Elements

In the case of a studio apartment, furniture selection requires special attention. In such cases, multifunctional furniture is recommended so that you can utilize space optimally. An extendable table is a practical solution, whose size you can adjust according to your wishes. If needed, you'll expand it when receiving guests, while in everyday life, you'll have it at standard size to save space. In the bedroom, you can place a bed with storage. This way, you create additional storage in the room, which frees up space.

 

Pay attention to furniture size as well. Large-sized furniture can overload a small space excessively. Look through the small space furniture collection at Ashley HomeStore. Here you can select furniture specifically for studio apartments:

Storage units

One of the main challenges in a studio apartment is creating storage. When you are limited in space, every square centimeter matters, so it will be better if you install built-in cabinets to save space. Try to refrain from storing excess items. Keep only those items that you need and use in everyday life.

 

Colors and Lighting

Colors have decisive importance in perceiving space. Light, neutral tones, and minimalist style make the space appear more spacious. Ideals are: white, light gray, beige, and pastel colors. To refresh the interior, you can use bright or bold colored pillows, curtains, rugs, or decor. A contrasting color palette makes the interior characteristic.

 

Try to bring as much natural lighting into the room as possible. Do not hang dark, heavy curtains. For additional lighting, you can use wall lamps, candles, and floor lamps as well.
