No matter the size of your home, there’s so much to learn from people who successfully live in an incredibly small studio apartment.
And by success, I mean a few things: they maximize the small footprint, find genius storage and/or style solutions, and have just plain made it work so well that you almost forget that they’re living in someplace that’s more or less one room.
Below, the very best, useful, and absolutely timeless advice for those who believe in one-room living.
Invest in dual-purpose furniture.
Couches that turn into beds and coffee tables that turn into desks are just the tip of the
iceberg when it comes to innovative furniture that can do more than meets the eye.
Play around with color.
Light paint colors help make a room feel larger, so skip the dark paint if you’re able to
customize your unit. From there, you can use texture and color contrasts to build dimension
into the room.
Go for a loft bed.
Elevate your bed and turn the space underneath into a seating, dining, or office area.
Not only does this greatly increase your space, it can also, be preferable to having to
remake your bed every night like you might have to do with a pull-out.
Get creative with storage.
Don’t fill every spare foot with storage (after all, you do still need to be able to walk around),
but do try to take advantage of extra storage space wherever you can, such as behind the
couch and on top of the fridge.
Have less stuff.
Instead of trying to fit a ton of stuff into a small space, limit what you bring in the first place. A
big benefit of a micro-apartment is that you don’t have to spend a lot to make it all your own.
Have fun with your decorating and play around with color and art. There’s a ton of
opportunity to let your personality shine.
