How to Maximize Your Space in a Studio Apartment

Decorating any home can be overwhelming, no matter how much space you have to work with. And, sometimes having less space to style is not any easier than having lots of room. We came up with a list of apartment hacks to maximize your space, while still maintaining your style. You can still live in the apartment home of your dreams, no matter the size!

Here are a few ways to maximize your space!

Gallery Wall

Creating a gallery wall is a great way to make your space feel bigger. This won’t create space for storage, but it will add another dimension to your apartment home that will make it feel fuller. Sometimes having a lot of empty space on your walls makes a room feel more confined, and a gallery wall is a great, stylish fix that doesn’t sacrifice floor space!

Multifunctional Furniture

Multipurpose furniture offers storage solutions without creating eyesores like storage bins or clutter. A nice storage bench or ottoman could increase the amount of seating in your living room while also serving as a place to keep your extra blankets, remotes, movies, or game console. Using something similar in the designated bedroom area of your home will offer stylish storage for seasonal clothing like scarves, hair and makeup tools, or any seasonal decor items.

Hang Shelves As A Cute Storage Solution

You will want to check your lease before hanging your own shelves to make sure that you will not be risking your security deposit. But creating storage space that doesn’t take up floor space is a fantastic way to increase your storage without making your apartment feel too full. You can opt for hanging shelves over a bookcase, placing baskets to store household items you don’t want to see all of the time, plants that don’t require much sunlight, or anything else that you would want on a shelf.

Use A Daybed As Your Couch

A big decision to make when moving into a studio apartment is whether you can (or want to) fit a couch and a bed inside. A happy medium is a daybed. This way, you can still have a cute couch with throw pillows and seating for visitors, and you’ll still have a nice cozy bed to crawl into at night.

Use The Backs Of Your Doors For Hanging Storage Space

Don’t forget that you can use hanging storage racks on the backs of your doors. You can use one in your bathroom for extra bath products, one in a closet for extra cleaning supplies, and one in your bedroom for shoes, accessories, etc. You can even do this with the inside of your cabinets, but make sure if they stick with adhesive that it won’t cause any damage!

Mirrors

Just like the gallery wall, hanging mirrors will make your home feel bigger without taking up floor space. Try strategically hanging them where they give the illusion of more space to make your apartment feel more open and spacious. Try going to a thrift shop to find something that’s both unique and inexpensive!
