Decorating Ideas for a Studio Apartment: Designer Tips

A one-room apartment requires a special approach to decor.

In a small space, it is important to properly organize zoning and select the optimal color scheme to create a feeling of coziness and comfort.

The famous designer recommends starting with zoning the space. In a one-room apartment, there are usually bedroom, living room and kitchen areas, says Yulia Tychino .

To visually separate them, you can use different color schemes, furniture and decor.

For example, in the bedroom, a calm color scheme would be optimal - beige, light gray, soft blue. For the living room, brighter and more saturated colors would be suitable.

To visually expand the space, the designer advises using light colors when decorating the walls and ceiling.

You can also use smooth monochrome wallpaper, mirror surfaces, built-in lamps. This will help make the room more free and spacious.

When it comes to furniture, it is important to choose compact items that will fit into the space economically.

The designer suggests giving preference to multifunctional transformable structures.

For example, a fold-out sofa with a spacious linen drawer, a folding table that can be used as a workspace and then folded.

Built-in furniture - built-in wardrobes, shelves, racks - will be an excellent solution. They will help to use every centimeter of storage space to the maximum. In the bedroom, you can install a bed with drawers to save space.

An important point is the correct zoning and lighting of the workspace. It is worth choosing a convenient corner for the work area and additionally equipping it with a desk lamp.
