Just because a studio apartment might lack space doesn’t mean it has to lack style! These five apartments show how cleverly a small space can be used while still being stylish. It’s all about clever design, great storage and making the most of the space. These five spaces tick all those boxes!
This studio apartment uses some clever design and styling to make the space feel bigger. Choosing a glass wall between the bedroom and living area might seem strange, but it is actually a god choice! The glass wall helps give the bedroom its own area and blocks off a little noise, but most importantly it doesn’t close the space in. Choosing glass means that the room is still light and bright and that the room isn’t made to look smaller by a solid wall. One other small trick is the use of the large floor to ceiling mirror in the bedroom which also gives the illusion of more space.
This tiny studio apartment has managed to include a full kitchen by building into a wall space. The kitchen is design to fit perfectly in this space, even the cupboards are shaped just so! Keeping the colours light helps the area look bigger in the apartment, while also giving it a contemporary look. The clothes rack in the entry way looks lovely and is also a practical place for storage. Sometimes artwork can be forgotten in a small space, when walls are considered too small, but artwork is the perfect way to add style and personality to a small space. Take the time to choose the right size artwork and something that will compliment the space, not overwhelm it, the artwork in the hallway here is just enough.
This tiny space really has a luxurious feel! Although the apartment isn’t large, the choice of finishes gives it a luxurious feel. The bathtub, cleverly tucked in between the kitchen and bedroom, is perfect for creating a sense of luxury. The owner has chosen quality tap ware and a beautiful tub, while also thinking practically about the space, even using underneath the tub for storage! The wallpaper in the bedroom gives a luxurious touch to an otherwise neutral room and really gives the small space personality. Every inch of space has really been used here, with shelves built to the ceiling for storage.
This apartment has used clever little ideas to make the small space practical and useable. The choice of a half wall to break up the living and sleeping areas is a perfect way to still allow the light and air through, while also not making the rom feel half the size. The area rug in the living room is great choice because it is a light, neutral colour , a good choice for a small space, while also giving the living room its own area. The smaller pair of coffee tables is great for a small apartment, as they don’t take up too much space and can be used for other purposes like bedside tables. The choice of artworks are not too large for the space and compliment rather than overwhelm the small room.
Clever design has given this studio apartment great storage space. Building a platform for the bed has created a perfect spot for storage underneath, these large pull out drawers are such a great use of space! The curtain to separate the sleeping and living areas looks great and is also perfect for privacy or those days when you just want to hide an un-made bed! Th white walls are also a good choice in this small space.
