Studio Apartment Living: 4 Simple Ways to Live in Style

Everyone wants to have a great place to crash in after a long day, which is why people keep on looking for a cheap but fab place to stay in. Sadly, studio apartments tend to be on the bottom of the list, and frankly, they are the cheapest option in the market.

Thanks to this Upper West Side of Manhattan studio apartment, your perception about studios will definitely change. Renowned designers Lindsay Boswell and Ali Levin of LABL studio created a relaxing but energizing place for their client, Jamie. Here are their suggestions on how to achieve the same look:

Choose a great palette and work with it.

They mixed earthy motifs with classy touches of sleek looking furniture. The colors are very calming and every piece of effect added and served a variety of purposes.

Maximize the space.

For people who would also want to create a comfy place like Jaime's, it would be wise to take note of the importance of setting specific areas in your studio, like the area for the entertainment corner and the bedroom space. Use furnitures to create divisions.

Mix and match.

Play around the furnitures to create your ideal size and pop in additional art works on the wall to make the room look bigger. Light fixtures also help give the room more dimension. Add that to illuminate corners.

Don't forget to improve the bathroom as well.

Bathrooms can also be improved by using pops of the earthy tones used in the bedroom to match with the room. Knobs and door handles can also be personalized to achieve the desired look.

Studio apartments are one, if not the most, affordable units that a person can live in. Before finally signing a property lease, always ask yourself if the monthly savings are worth staying in a just-enough space. Aside from the savings, apartments often are found in walking distances from fun restaurants and popular workplaces.
