Studio - sounds promising, but if it issmall apartment, then its problems are almost the same as those of ordinary small-sized apartments, but there is one unconditional advantage - fewer partitions. This is what we will play on What is life in a small studio? This is a permanent state of rearrangement. An eternal search for the ideal solution and an almost endless feeling of dissatisfaction. The key to a happy life in a small apartment is space optimization. It is quite possible that the existing arrangement copes with most tasks and suits you in many ways, but there is probably an option that you did not know about - and this is what will become your find. Designer Kelsi Vande Velden recommends drawing a detailed plan of the apartment, cutting out all the furniture and playing the long-forgotten children's game of "assemble the house." This approach will help you discover all the "dead zones" and take a fresh look at things that have become boring.
1. Organization above all else
The smaller the space, the more is requiredspace for storage systems - this is the harsh truth of life. Let the organization of storage become a priority for you. Get rid of everything you no longer need, boldly give away things that you have not worn for more than a year and do not miss a single opportunity - containers, organizers, chests. Now underwear can be conveniently stored even under the bed.
2. Light matters too
Living in a cave is not an option for a modern manit is necessary, so we will not neglect proper lighting. To begin with, we need to reconsider our attitude to curtains - it is better to give all thick and heavy curtains to friends who have apartments with huge rooms and high ceilings, and for your tiny studio, light, translucent curtains are more suitable, or even complete freedom from them. As for lamps, it is most reasonable to select them with special attention to appearance and compliance with the environment. A stylish lamp will not only disperse the darkness, but also distract attention from the size of the room, and this is our goal.
3. Two-three-four in one
Conduct an inspection of all furniture andmake sure that each of them can be used in at least two directions. Sofa bed, console-dressing table-folding dining table, chest-coffee table, windowsill-work surface, etc. In conditions of lack of space, we cannot afford "monosyllabic things", so look for transformers.
4. Move vertically
If the area has let you down, all that remains isstretch the scale upwards. If cabinets, then up to the ceiling, if curtains, then to the floor, and if you can't live without art objects, choose tall and elongated ones. Another option is a vertical gallery of photographs.
5. Restrained zoning
Try to avoid partitions, oForget about plasterboard as a bad dream. Your option is to divide into zones using decor, light curtains, screens and thoughtful furniture arrangement. Zoning using decor only sounds complicated and expensive, in reality you can get by with “little bloodshed” by pasting only one wall or even part of it with contrasting wallpaper, or laying a carpet in the right place.
