Getting the Most Space Out of Your Studio Apartment
On the surface, making room in a studio apartment appears to be a challenge. We consider it an opportunity. All it takes to make much-needed space is some creativity and investment in proper storage solutions. Let our team at Trojan Storage provide tips and tricks for maximizing space in a studio apartment.
How To Decorate a Studio Apartment and Save Space
When decorating an apartment, think outside the box to free up space. Space-saving methods and decorations can significantly reduce clutter. Let us share five tips to help you declutter, decorate, and invest in space-saving solutions for your studio apartment.
1. Remove Clutter and Organize What’s Left
The first step to optimizing space in your studio apartment is to declutter. Sort through every nook and cranny and decide whether each item will stay, go into storage, or be sold or donated.
Once you’ve gone through your belongings, start organizing the items you plan to keep. Designate a space around the apartment for each item or group of items. Use labels or labeled bins wherever needed.
It’s best to think of this process as not being a one-time deal. Frequent decluttering and organizing provide you with satisfaction and peace of mind, even in a smaller apartment.
2. Invest in Multipurpose Furniture
While furniture such as couches and tables takes up plenty of space, it doesn’t have to be single-use. Multipurpose furniture can save space and keep clutter to a minimum. You can keep loose pillows and blankets inside ottomans or add extra drawers under your bed. Multipurpose furniture also provides long-term savings, as you’ll need fewer pieces and storage bins.
3. Take Advantage of Vertical Space
As you plan your studio apartment’s interior decoration, your walls are your best friend. Use vertical space to store various items on hooks or wall-mounted shelving. We recommend using vertical hooks and shelving in your kitchenette to hang pots and pans or create a spice rack.
These vertical solutions are ideal for city dwellers who live in studio apartments, where every square inch of space is even more precious.
4. Use Room Dividers
Create structure and definitive rooms in your studio apartment with room dividers. From curtains to screens, dividers come in many sizes and colors and are relatively easy to move. Each divider creates additional wall space and vertical storage options while matching your style.
5. Rent Self Storage
Renting storage for small apartments can make a big difference. Don’t waste time trying to sell or donate items you want just to save a few inches of space. The right storage unit is the ideal solution for keeping beloved belongings, such as seasonal clothing, sports equipment, and electronic devices safe while not in use. To better guard your sensitive items, consider our climate-controlled storage unit.
