Furnishing a studio apartment: ideas to create your mini comfort zone
Furnishing a studio apartment is not so obvious! One of the benefits of having a small house is that you won't waste too much time keeping it clean.

Organization is essential to furnish a studio flat in the best possible way.
Whatever your style, furnishing a small or very small studio apartment is always a great challenge. We often talk about an apartment with a total area of about 25 m2 or 30 m2. In some cases the studios can be even larger and reach 40sqm or 50sqm. However, these are always open spaces in which the living and sleeping areas coexist and must do so in harmony. The only separate area is, of course, the bathroom. But furnishing a studio flat also means evoking the feeling of a larger and more complex environment than the one you have in your hands. It is always possible to play with the furnishings and divide the spaces in an organized way and not find yourself sleeping in the kitchen or cooking in the living room! Since the space at your disposal is very small, it is good to use clever ideas to ensure that you have as much space as possible. To better organize your studio apartment, start by identifying a point to be allocated to the sleeping area and find the most creative and pleasant way to divide it from the rest of the environment! You can opt for solutions that act as partitions, or let yourself be inspired by the imagination, just a bookcase, a sofa, a plant or a booth to recreate two distinct areas in the same environment and reserve the right privacy for the sleeping area. It is very important to understand how many people will live in the studio, if you are a couple it is necessary to create which the two people can also stand separately and then be ready to make some compromises: that one forgets the game at full volume if the other has a work video call!

Three tips to make a studio apartment look bigger.
Even if you like a colorful and lively style, or super dark, to better furnish a studio apartment it will be good to focus on light colors. No strong and bright colors on the walls, unless it is a matter of some small detail just to characterize a small space. In any case, it is better to borrow nude and earthy nuances, for a basic and refined effect: on the walls it is creamy white but as long as you do not exaggerate with the all-over white ... a small space must certainly be enlarged but it must not appear to be too cold! Colors are fundamental and can completely change the perception of houses.Use neutral colors with only small touches of color and the result will be perfect! Focus on folding furniture, which you can conveniently store to allocate the area to another activity. A small dining table is perfect if you are alone! And if you want to improvise a dinner, take it extendable, and then close it without stress and not clutter up the room. The same goes for some folding chairs that you can tuck next to the closet in case guests arrive. For example, if your studio apartment is also used to work, if you really need to live it at any time, consider replacing the bed with a sofa bed so that you can completely transform the furniture with a simple click when it comes. Evening! Play with mirrors! A mirror positioned in the right way can optically enlarge the room you have available and gives you an illusion of breadth and spaciousness. Of course it's just a little trick but even the most established interior designers use it : using it for your apartment is definitely a good idea!

An ingenious cunning: the mezzanine that doubles the spaces!
When you are renting you have to organize the solutions you have available well. But when the houses are owned, the story changes and you have much more freedom of action! If you own the apartment, you can evaluate with a construction company the possibility of having it loft. In this way you will double the spaces available, as long as the house is high enough to allow the mezzanine. If you have a mezzanine, you can place the bed and the sleeping area on the floor above the house and even if completely open and without doors, greater privacy and a clear division between the living and sleeping areas. In the lower part you can place the sofa, the kitchen and the table and thus have two adjacent but distinct environments. The mezzanine is a widely used solution to gain space and livability when furnishing a studio apartment. Give it a thought! In addition to being a practical advice, the mezzanine is a very nice trendy choice that also gives style, personality and comfort to every small home.
