Hacks to Make Your Studio Apartment Look Big
A studio apartment is a living space which has only one room in it. Space is not divided into different rooms by any kind of walls or pillars whatsoever. It is a small apartment and an open space amongst four walls which comprise of the living room, the bedroom and the kitchen.
The only shortcoming you could have with your studio apartment is that it could look small and suffocating if not designed and decorated properly with the right amount and type of furniture. So don’t worry if you’ve just moved into a studio apartment and are a little hesitant about its décor, because you definitely don’t need an interior design solutions provider for the kind of work that you’ll easily be able to manage and do all yourself.
Here are a few hacks and home interior design ideas listed below to easily make your apartment look big.
Walls and Floors
The easiest trick in the book with regards to making your room or your house for that matter look big is by having it coloured white or choosing a colour from a lighter palette. Paint your walls in ways so that the space looks big and open. Because white is a neutral and versatile colour, it makes decorating the studio apartment also very easy.
You can also have light coloured marble flooring or wooden flooring covered with light coloured carpets and rugs.
Illusion of Space
While placing your furniture in the studio apartment, make sure that it does not touch the wall. Leave some gap and place your furniture (sofa or bed) away from the wall to create an illusion of spaciousness.
Invest in Multi-purpose Furniture
Buy furniture online that has enough storage or could be used for more than one purpose. Buy a bed with storage in the bottom, seating furniture that doubles as a storage space. This just ensures that you do not have to buy bulky storage furniture that takes up more space in your studio apartment and makes it look crowded.
Shelves
Hang your shelves closer to the ceiling (which can be used to store books or decorative items) so that the walls do not look cluttered, space looks bigger and so that the vision is directed towards the ceiling.
Use Stripes
Buy curtains, rugs, bed sheets or wall art with stripes to give an elongated illusion to the space in your homes.
Ditch the Curtains
To give your studio apartment more depth and to make it look bigger, ditch the curtains. Sans curtains, the windows develop more character and space looks modern.
Furniture with Exposed Leg
If you’re to buy a sofa, a wardrobe, a storage unit or a bed, having its legs exposed will make the furniture look more slender and the space between the floor and the furniture will make it look less bulky.
Mirrors
Mirrors are known to create the perfect illusion of your space looking bigger than it actually is. So place a full-sized or oversized mirror in your studio to give your eyes the illusion of your space looking big.
Stick to Minimalism
The key to strike a perfect balance with décor in a studio apartment is by not overcrowding it, buying home decor products online and things that are absolutely necessary to you. The easiest way to go about the décor with regards to a studio apartment is to play by the rules of minimalism with the furniture, colour scheme and the decoration.
These nifty hacks will set the ball rolling to make your studio apartment look big.
