Studio apartments offer a comfortable and affordable solution to living in the middle of a large city or expensive area. The tiny apartments offer many benefits, such as affordability, easy cleaning, and less maintenance involved.
However, it can also get cluttered, and the small size can get frustrating. Luckily, there are a few tips and tricks to make the most of living in a studio apartment, giving you the space you need without the extra cost.
Take advantage of bed storage options
There are several ways to take advantage of the space available around your bed. One example is an ottoman bed that offers hidden storage for linen and bedding. Other options include platform beds with built-in storage, over-the-head shelf storage, a storage headboard and using a footboard for a TV stand.
Get a room divider with storage
Room dividers are an effective way to create the illusion of separate rooms in a studio apartment. While there are several options, investing in a room divider that doubles up as storage is smart. For example, repurpose an old bookshelf or get a divider with built-in storage.
Create the illusion of more space
There are a few things that you can do to create the illusion of space in your studio apartment. For example, you can paint your walls a light colour to make the room feel larger. You can also hang mirrors on opposite windows or on opposite walls to create the illusion of space.
Take advantage of corners
It’s easy to overlook the corners of the apartment as a possible storage space. Consider adding shelves to the corner to keep books, place a small desk in the tiny space, or create a makeshift closet!
Declutter regularly
Creating a decluttering schedule and regularly removing unnecessary items will give you more space to live comfortably and provide a space of peace and relaxation. As a bonus, regular decluttering prevents pests, reduces dust and offers an improved lifestyle and well-being!
