What you’re lacking in space, you can make up for in style. No room is too small for decor and layout adjustments. The best part is, none of these require things like major renovations or knocking down walls. Renters and buyers alike will appreciate how simple it is to make a studio apartment feel like a one (or even two) bedroom. They borrowed some of the bedroom square footage—which starts at the back of the apartment—to establish a larger living room with a small home office near the front windows. A wallpaper feature wall enhances the sense of separation between the bedroom and living room. This particular furniture collection can be customized with add-on parts—drawers, baskets, and colorful storage boxes—that add personality while providing concealed storage. The custom raised platform doubles as a room divider and cleverly conceals a full-size trundle bed. When partially extended, the mattress doubles as a sofa. When it is time to crash, just pull the bed entirely out. Because they wanted their living room to be as big as possible, the bedroom nook has just enough space to fit the bed and a little storage for clothing. A beautiful slatted wood screen separates the bedroom from the kitchen, while a rug under the sofa creates a little visual separation between the living room and bedroom.
