Modern studio apartments are increasingly becoming the choice of young people, couples and even families. Compactness, affordable price, open layout - all this makes studios a popular housing option. However, the arrangement of such a space requires a special approach. To the rescue comes custom furniture, which allows you to use every square meter as efficiently as possible.
In this article we will look at, why it is worth choosing custom furniture for a studio apartment, which solutions really work and which materials and designs are best suited.
π Why is standard furniture not the best option for a studio?
Studio apartments do not forgive mistakes in planning and furniture arrangement. Here are the main problems that arise when using standard furniture:
-
β Standard dimensions do not take into account the features of the room
-
β Furniture can clutter passageways
-
β Lack of storage space
-
β Difficulties in zoning space
Custom furniture, on the contrary, is being designed for specific sizes, angles, niches, and even to suit the lifestyle of the owners. This is what makes it an ideal solution for studios.
π§ What tasks does custom-made furniture solve in the studio?
-
Space optimization - every centimeter is taken into account during design.
-
Functionality β a wardrobe, bed, table and storage space can be included in one design.
-
Zoning β with the help of furniture you can separate the sleeping, resting and kitchen areas.
-
Comfort and style β the furniture design can fully match the interior.
π Popular furniture solutions for a studio apartment
ποΈ Bed with a podium or built-in drawers
The bed in the studio is the most "problematic" element. An excellent solution would be:
-
Bed with lifting mechanism and spacious drawer inside
-
A podium under which drawers or even a pull-out bed are hidden
This saves space and allows you to use the area under the bed as additional storage.
πͺ Folding sofa
If you are ready to transform the sofa into a bed every evening, this is a good solution. The main thing is to choose convenient transformation mechanism (Eurobook, dolphin, tick-tock, etc.) and good mattress.
π§³ Wardrobe to the ceiling
The higher, the more spacious. A custom-made wardrobe can be built into a niche or along a wall, using even hard-to-reach areas. Modern mechanisms provide easy access to the upper shelves.
π½οΈ Compact kitchen
A custom-made kitchen allows you to:
-
Take into account the specifics of the location of communications
-
Make the most of angles and height
-
Install built-in appliances
-
Choose a style and color that harmonize with the overall interior
π½οΈ Transformer table or bar counter
To save space, the following is suitable:
-
Folding table that can be hidden
-
Folding table top, wall-mounted
-
Bar counter combined with the kitchen work area
πΊ TV area and shelves
Furniture can perform several functions:
-
TV stand with storage
-
Wall shelves instead of heavy cabinets
-
Combined modules with open and closed sections
π― Features of designing custom furniture for a studio
1. Multifunctionality
One item can perform 2-3 functions: table-bed, sofa-wardrobe, windowsill-workplace.
2. Compactness
No bulky forms - laconic minimalism, so as not to visually βclutterβ the space.
3. Light shades and mirror elements
Light furniture visually expands the room. Mirrors on the facades also add depth.
4. Built-in lighting
Lighting in cabinets, above the kitchen area or in the podium gives a modern look and convenience in everyday life.
π§° Materials worth using
-
Chipboard - inexpensive, durable, with a wide range of textures
-
MDF with film or paint - practical, suitable for the kitchen
-
Blum, Hettich, GTV fittings - reliable mechanisms
-
Metal and glass β for loft or hi-tech style
-
Solid wood - expensive, but for accents and durability
