Getting the Most Out of Your Studio Apartment Furniture

Staff Writer · Mar 10, 2011

Studio apartment furniture should always be bought keeping the size of the apartment in mind. Studio apartments are generally very small and you should select furniture that can help make the space livable and attractive. Above all, there should be enough room for all your requirements.

Selecting Furniture for a Studio Apartment

A studio apartment is one in which the dining area, sleeping area and living area all coexist as one. Furniture should be chosen carefully so that the apartment always looks clean and organized. The sleeping area can be separated from the living area with bookcases or screens. The back of the bookcase can be used as a headboard for your bed. The bed you buy should be either a daybed, a sofa-cum-bed or a loft bed. This can help you use the sleeping area during the day. Ensure that there is plenty of storage space under the bed. A drop leaf table can be used as a writing desk and a dining table and can be pushed against a wall when not in use.

Placing a mirror can create an impression of a larger space and strategic use of mirrors can make the studio apartment look less cluttered. Choose a coffee table with drawers in order to provide much-needed storage space. If the table has casters, it can be rolled out of the way when not in use. Buy only one chair and use it for multiple purposes instead of buying different chairs for various activities such as dining, writing or reading. If you plan to cook at home, the kitchen area should be demarcated from the living and sleeping areas with an island table that you can also use for dining. Drawers under the island table can be used to store cooking implements and ingredients.

While furnishing your studio apartment, try to fit in all your furniture requirements without allowing the apartment to look cluttered. Ensure that the furniture you select is not bulky and is light in color to give an impression of space.
