Without the boundaries that most homes have studio flats pose a challenge for any decorator. Not only do you need to consider making sure that the room is suitable for sleeping, cooking and relaxing but you are unlikely to have a huge amount of space.
Create rooms
You may not have any walls, but that doesn’t mean you can’t create rooms. This can be as simple as grouping your furniture so that you have a space for sleeping, a space for cooking and space for relaxing. Or you can add dividers to help block out the various areas. (Wardrobes or room dividers can be great for this)
Multi use furniture
If you can get furniture which also has space to store things. For example a hollowed out sofa into which you can put cushions or a bed with drawers underneath.
Focal point
If you have a TV or an entertainment system then it can create a natural focal point. If you don’t then there are other options. In my flat I used the view over the city provided by my oversized windows.
Light
You should keep your window blinds or curtains open as much as possible to ensure that you get sufficient light. In addition some cleverly placed mirrors can not only help light up your flat, but also make it feel bigger. Light coloured walls will also help.
Declutter
Last but not least; make sure you are ruthless when it comes to disposing of objects and decorations you don’t need. Or just ask a friend to look after them!
