If you are looking for an apartment but are tight on money, you might want to consider a studio. Studio apartments consist of one main space for your kitchen, dining, living, and bedroom area, with a separate bathroom. Here are five things you should know about living in a studio apartment, so that you can make your flat the home of your dreams.   

Not All Studios Are Small

Although studio apartments in the United States are between 500- to 600-square-feet on average, not every studio is tiny. In fact, some studios are large and airy—they only reason they are still considered a studio is because of the lack of separate living spaces.  

Storage Units Make Your Space Dynamic

Since the majority of studio apartments on the market tend to be on the smaller side, renting a storage unit to house your extra belongings can make your space more dynamic. Storage units can give you an easy way to stash holiday décor, large furniture pieces, and clothing that isn’t in season so that your space stays clean and tidy.

Furniture That Multiple Uses Helps

Don’t worry if you can’t fit your desk and your dining room table into your studio. By choosing furniture pieces that have multiple uses, you can save a tremendous amount of space. For example, you might be able to use a sleeper sofa so that you don’t have to set up your bed, or use your kitchen island as a desk when you aren’t cooking.

Defining Living Areas Can Help

To make your studio feel larger, define each space with rugs or décor. For example, putting a rug underneath your sofa and TV stand will make it feel like a dedicated living room, even though it is next to your bed.

Clutter Control is Crucial

Small spaces can get messy fast, which is why you should focus on clutter control. Before you bring anything into your space, think about whether or not it will be used. If you know that it will be in the way, trash, donate, or store it instead.
