When you’re decorating a small studio apartment, pause to do some planning before you buy. With careful design, you can make even a tiny space into a welcoming home that you love. To help you to get it right, here are our top four small studio apartment interior design tips.
We all know that excellent storage is fundamental to creating a haven of calm in any size of villa or apartment. When it comes to planning your small studio apartment design, storage should be your number one focus. It means you’ll have somewhere to keep all the essentials you need AND keep your home looking stylishly neat.
Less really is more, so your mantra should be ‘keep it simple’ when you’re planning your small studio apartment décor.
It’s not just art that you can hang on your wall. Look for lighting that can be wall-mounted by your bed so you won’t need a bedside table. Or try hanging mirrors, a tried and trusted technique to bounce light around the room and make a small area look bigger.
Define spaces for work, sleep, or relaxing by using a bookshelf. As well as providing a screen between areas, it’s a practical use of the space. Choose an open shelving unit to make sure that light can travel through to keep your apartment feeling airy. A couple of artfully placed vases or plants will add interest and style.
If you’ve only got a small budget, look for multi-tasking furniture. For example, create a cosy spot to sit with friends by using a couple of chairs around a console table. When you need it, this space can also double up as your WFH desk. A sofa bed is also worth considering as it means you can welcome friends and family to stay.
