Studio apartments are all the rage these days. Younger property buyers are eschewing large floor spaces in favour of smaller units in trendy neighbourhoods. These studio units will usually offer a lifestyle that fits with the younger demographic with a host of facilities as well as being located near hip and happening entertainment and shopping options. There are a number of ways smaller studio units can be made to look and feel larger. Here are a few simple ID tips.
Avoid bulky furnishings
This might seem like common sense but when decorating a studio unit, try to avoid bulky items such as that massive leather armchair. Wardrobes need to be functional rather than looking like a prop from the Narnia films. Another bulky item that takes up a lot of floor space such as a bed. Try looking for a sleek design that affords the desired comfort without taking up valuable floor space. Folding beds are a great way to maximise space in studio units as are foldaways.
Done with mirrors
It is an age-old trick but it works. Strategically placed mirrors can give the illusion of space even in tiny box apartments. Placed where it can reflect sunlight, the mirror will also create a brighter, warmer and more welcoming ambience.
Use bright colours
Whether furnishings or paint, try to use bright colours to make the space look bigger than it is. White and beige may sound incredibly boring but they have that inherent ability to make a space appear larger. If it is a rented unit that does not permit painting, try using removable sticker wallpaper to achieve the desired look. Are you in the market for a trendy studio unit?
