living in a small studio/loft/ one-room apartment/ bachelor's pad


It is a challenge living in a small one-level loft. Here are some ideas that might come in handy:

*When choosing a dining or a work table, buy one with wheels. This makes it more versatile if you need it for different purposes!

here is an example of this great tip:


*Extra storage is a thing you should keep in mind when choosing your furniture: beds with drawers, a wooden chest at the end of the bed, or sofas that have storage space under the seats can be really helpful!

*Ikea sells metal racks, which can be useful in your kitchen and bathroom. You can put your towels or cooking pans high up above your head leaving extra space underneath for tables or a clean wall without any clutter.

*Ensuring that you have a cosy and good-looking home has a lot to do with tidy surfaces. Keep counter tops in your kitchen free for cooking or dining, as well as your work space and tables.

*Keep a clear division of spaces, through a different furniture display, or by adding objects or draping. You should feel like, although there are no walls, there are different rooms.

*The last tip I have might sound a little crazy but I find it helpful! Navigate through some hotel websites and check how they decorated their suites. They have plenty of pictures of bedrooms/living rooms all in one, so check them out!
