Tips for studio living
With space at a premium, many singles and couples live in studio apartments. Also known as ‘efficiency apartments’, the studio dweller lives, works, sleeps and eats all in the same small space. So how do you make a small space both functional and beautiful?
Multi-tasking. Get a futon or sofa that serves as a sofa during the day and folds out into a bed at night.  A single (twin) bed can be transfored into a daybed with a pretty throw and some cushion.
Use your suitcases and bags to store out of season clothes and other items you use infrequently.  Store the suitcases under the futon or day bed.
Use a large, flat topped trunk as a coffee table or extra seating. Use it to store things that you use regularly, but not every day like linen, towels and blankets.
A bookcase can be used as a room or space divider. A dressing area can be created by dividing off one corner of the room with the bookcase
Plants to add to the atmosphere and freshen the air.
A small table can double as a desk or a dining table.
Attractive, stackable baskets are great for storing all sorts of things and since they are stackable, you minimuse the use of floor space.
