Decorating a studio apartment which is often referred to as a bachelorette pad is a challenging task. This is because these one room spaces tend to look cluttered and messy due to the limited space. Moreover since all your activities are limited to a single room you cannot really fit in large pieces of furniture. So how do you decorate your studio apartment so that it enhances the beauty and efficiency of the limited space available to you?

The first step is to eliminate the things that you do not need. This includes furniture, decorative items and even personal stuff. The problem with studio apartments is the lack of adequate storage spaces. Thus limiting the items in your décor ensures that the space looks de-cluttered and neat. In addition to this use containers and storage bins to hide all your clutter.

Select furniture that can double up as storage spaces. For example platform beds with drawers, ottomans, and sofa sets with storage inside help in storing all your personal items that have no immediate use. Small, space conscious furniture like day beds or loft beds help in maximizing space in the room

A great way of managing the limited space in a studio apartment is by making specific living areas. You can use blinds, bookcases or screens to divide the room. You can also use stylish beaded drapes and curtains for an added effect. To allow better movement in the room keep the furniture into a L shaped layout. To keep the furniture from cluttering the floor, use wall mounted shelves for storing your decorative items, books and other objects..

To give the space a bigger feel paint the room in light pastel colors and use mirrors on opposite sides to enhance the space. Allow natural light to filter into the room or use bright lights to enhance the look and feel of the room.

While these pointers can help you decorate your studio apartment with ease, it is important to note that a lot depends on the decorator’s creativity and imagination. So add a bit of your personality and style while decorating your studio apartment.
