Small spaces are always a challenge to decorate, since they have to remain functional. Often, though, it is precisely this lack of space that leads to new ideas and produces a stunning result.
There are certain decorating details, as well as choices in the overall layout of the apartment, that can make it not only comfortable for you and your guests, but also look bigger than it really is.
Light colors on the walls will make the space look larger, especially if there is good natural light. If you prefer bolder wall colors, you can choose white or transparent furniture to achieve a satisfying result.
Try to place the furniture as close to the walls as possible, so that the center of the room stays open. Finally, avoid too many decorative items; choose a few in strong colors, which are enough to add a more personal touch.
If you have chosen a studio but want to separate the bedroom from the living area, there are again a few options.
If your space allows it, you can use a bookcase to divide the two areas.
Multifunctional furniture, such as a wardrobe bed, is a smart and convenient solution, and one you see very often in small studios in New York.
A large, heavy curtain can also make a very good room divider. The bedroom is hidden behind the curtain, creating a sense of private space.
Finally, for very small spaces, a bunk-style bed is the best solution. By raising the bed to a higher level, you can make use of the space beneath it and place either your sofa or your desk there.
