Living in a studio apartment means you have to get creative with your design ideas. It’s important to consider how each piece of décor you choose can improve and maximize the space around you. Incorporating the following decorating tips will help you get the most out of your open-plan rental.

7 Decorating Tips for Your Studio Apartment

1. Create Zones

Instead of thinking about your apartment in terms of one space, think of it as several small zones. Use room dividers and rugs to separate these areas and help you differentiate where your bedroom ends and your living room begins.

2. Add Nesting Tables

When possible, always choose tables that allow you to place extra storage beneath them. For instance, a hollow ottoman creates the opportunity for storage and extra seating when you have guests.

3. Combine Neutral & Bold Wall Colors

To give the illusion of more space, apply different but complementary colors throughout your studio apartment. As an example, a dark gray entryway followed by a different neutral wall color in the kitchen will make a bold color choice in the living area pop.

4. Place Your Sofa & Bed on Opposite Sides of the Room

Doing this will set a divide between your rooms. Place a makeshift wall or put your TV’s back to the end of your bed to thoroughly set the areas apart. 

5. Employ Hanging Shelves

Opting for these over floor shelves frees up your walking space. You can also add dividers or boxes on these shelves to keep your belongings organized and out of the way.

6. Install Easy-to-Open Drapes & Numerous Light Fixtures

The more access to light your apartment has, the larger it will feel. So, opt for sheer drapes instead of heavy, thick curtains, and install track lighting along your walls to improve the lighting in dark corners.

7. Consider a Trundle Bed

Think about replacing your bed with a trundle, as it can be folded into a sofa when you’re not sleeping. If you work from home or just spend a lot of time in your apartment, this will really provide more space.
