There are lots of great perks when it comes to living small. Aside from the common proximity their locations have to everything, it can also teach you a lot of valuable lessons in life. It can teach you to keep your space tidy, as well as prioritize something functional instead of something that’s just pretty. It can also teach you how to keep organized and make the most of what you have.
The one problem, however, with small homes, especially studio apartments is that they tend to look like a bedroom with a dining table at most times. If you’re not really keen on defining each space to make it look organized, you can end up with a home that is uninspiring.
What you should keep in mind when creating a homey studio apartment is to make sure that the areas are defined. You can do this by either putting up a divider like a bookshelf or a console table, or use an area rug to visually break up the spaces. Another great trick by some interior designers is to make use of varying heights, so your space do not look too crowded.
If you have the funds, especially if you want to invest in your space and plan to sell it later on, you may also want to look into working with an interior designer and custom-fitting your unit to certain specifications.
