Living in a studio apartment isn’t always easy on the space front. You have to fit a kitchen, living room and bedroom into very few square meters. This is a real challenge, especially when it comes to arranging the various pieces of furniture you need. Fortunately, there are some practical tips for optimizing space and creating a pleasant interior.
A sofa bed or convertible sofa for your studio apartment
A quality sofa-bed or convertible sofa will be one of the essential components for the comfort of your studio. This modular, multifunctional piece of furniture is ideal for small spaces. During the day, you can use it to sit and work in peace, and at night, it transforms into a bed for a comfortable night’s sleep. When folded, it takes up very little space. Some quality convertible sofa models offer a chaise longue function, and can also be converted into separable twin beds.
Several companies offer this type of convertible with customizable options. On this page, you’ll find models of quality convertible sofas and recliners. They come in different sizes, with different finishes, castor or wooden legs, different coverings, fabrics, artificial leather or real leather, depending on their purpose and your budget. Choose a convertible sofa with a width of at least 140 or 160 cm and a length of 2 meters for comfortable sleeping for 2 people. You’ll benefit from a modular day/night element that saves space.
A kitchenette for a clever studio layout
The kitchenette is an all-in-one mini kitchen. It is delivered as a single unit and can be installed anywhere. A kitchenette includes the minimum requirements for a kitchen, i.e. :
- a sink,
- cooking equipment such as gas hob and oven,
- a small work surface,
- a refrigerator.
It’s a very practical piece of furniture for its multiplicity of functions. Starting at 300 euros, you can find a kitchenette to suit your needs. In addition to its small size, its price is very affordable. What’s more, you’ll find kitchenettes on the market in a variety of styles and colors. Manufacturers make a point of decorating these mini kitchens for a more aesthetic look.
Save space with a wall-mounted folding table
The folding table is very popular with students living in studio flats. It’s wall-mounted and features a fold-down top. When not in use, you simply fold it up against the wall and away you go. The average tray size is 60 x 40 cm, and the height is adjustable. Depending on your needs, you can order tables for up to 6 people in total. You can use them for dining, but also as a desk. For added stability, some wall-mounted tables come with legs, allowing you to extend the tabletop without damaging the wall.
It’s possible to live in a small space and still have a minimum of comfort. Simplyopt for modular furniture that retracts when not in use, allowing you to gain a little more space.
