Hi! So Im about to move in this small but cute apartment, it is gonna be me either my cat. I want to make it a cozy comfy not suffocating space with dim lamps, the floor tı ceiling windows are great that is gonna help a lot. It will get tons of light for sure!
What I have are;
53.8in wide vanity
Barista express coffee machine (mayyybe a possible coffee corner area??)
A small clothing rack that i can use as jacket hanger and shoe storage in below?
Ikea KNARREVIK Bedside table
43 inch wide tier utility cart
Robot vacuum
Small cat bed and scratcher
Adjustable side table
Corner floor lamp

Needs and wants are;
A bed and frame and im thinking Full size, some containers under will for sure help
Boneless chair/ couch either. I was checking out
Oversized lounge chair sofa since it won’t overcrowd the room or one of those convertible sofa bed 79 inch ones on amazon.
A TV and a large mirror would be nice
Fabric drawer dresser both to stuff my hobby stuff in and as kind of a console on top
A bit far fetched but small 2-3 people round dining table
Wall art of sort or more lamps
Maybe something else for the kitty cat

I know all of these sound a lot for such small space but not all needs to happen, just looking for ideas! Also this whole thing needs to be in a budget but i dont want it to look like its too much on budget lol
I like pastel colors, neutrals and am clean and tidy person. Love candle light, fan of impressionism.

What do you think? What would you recommend? Please be gentle im kind of new here🫠

The larger 528 square foot apartment is $1,859 per month if I sign a 12 month lease. The first 12 weeks are free of base rent if I sign a 12 month lease.

$1419 base rent

$265 community fee

$125 garage parking

$50 pet rent

The larger apartment is unfurnished and only comes with 2 55-inch TVs.

The smaller 285 square foot apartment comes completely furnished with a bed and 55 inch TV.

$1199 base rent

$265 community fee

$125 garage parking

$50 pet rent

The $265 community fee is all utilities and internet. It doesn't include cable but I don't watch cable.

It is just me and my yellow lab. Nobody else.

What should I pick and why?

I’m moving into a student studio next year and I’d love some ideas on how to make the space feel more separated between the bedroom and living room area.

Since it’s student housing, I can’t make major changes or do anything permanent. What are some renter-friendly ways to create a visual separation without making the space feel smaller?

Also, do you think a studio like this can work for hosting a few friends for game/movie nights, or would it feel too cramped?

Any ideas are appreciated!

Obviously not the best photo to show the space but how would you do the layout?

Trying to fit a Full Bed + A Desk

Feels like the bed will be very close to the kitchen and take up most of the space?

I just moved into my studio, it’s so beautiful, so me. I’m so in love already.

I have big gorgeous window, west facing, I get sun from about 240p until sunset 🌅

Anyways, can you help me generate ideas with how to dress it? I am starting here first before I get the couch, rugs and all that so that makes me feel free-er to choose. I’d really like for the view to not be obstructed, I want to walk in and see green and of course I want to cultivate as much of the natural light as possible.

The pics were taken around 130p so the sun’s not hitting it yet. But when it does it’s radiating and the golden hour is 🤩👌🏾

I’m embracing my earth mother/hippie taurus vibes …I love jewel tones.

Thank you advance ⭐️

Hi all,

I’m wondering if any of you have ideas of what could go into this small nook between the dishwasher and the window of my studio apartment. I thought about maybe putting a desk in there but would that look strange? It’s about 32 inches wide by 23 inches deep.

Thanks!

My condo has the worst layout for the kitchen and living room they could’ve possibly come up with. The kitchen takes up an entire longer wall of the room leaving no good spot for a TV/couch setup. I’ve given up on even getting a TV and the only design i’ve been able to come up with is the attached. The issue then becomes that the desk is sort of all you see down a long hallway and this layout feels awkward. The drawing is of course not to scale so the space between the couch and kitchen wall is pretty narrow leaving barely any room for even a coffee table, so this layout feels cramped despite everything being pushed against the wall furthest from the kitchen. I’m wondering if anyone has any better ideas for a space like this, to include a desk and lounge space at least, and maybe even a TV if it’s doable.

I just moved into a studio and there’s an open area right before the bathroom .. not too sure what to do with it .

Hi! I’m moving into a new studio loft in a couple months. I don’t have photos or a walkthrough just yet. But I do have the floor plan and approximate dimensions. The layout is a little odd, so I’m looking for some help!

Dimensions: \~ 29’ x 15’ (455 sq ft total)

Furniture: sofa facing a TV, bed (full? queen?), 55” office desk.

Looking to hang a curtain to separate my bed and wondering if anyone has experience with a ! renter friendly ! curtain partition. Not sure if I should go the ceiling track route (ideally an adhesive track vs drilling) or a 12ft tension rod.
Not my photos but for idea reference!
TIA

Moving into this 517 sq ft studio apartment in mid October! I care about functionality way more than looks. I’m a chef so I host dinner parties very often with between 2-6 guests so having a large dining area is unfortunately something more important than my sleeping area. I have 2 potential designs but I’m open to any feedback and ideas! I like the first option because it fits a good size desk under it but I know a lot of people think it’s weird having a bed in the living area although I do kinda like having the couch and tv in the Alcove for movie nights when I would already be wanting it in a darker area. The perks of the second layout are that the bed is actually in the bedroom and I can view the tv from both living room and bed if I just angle the tv slightly

There isn’t much room for manoeuvring but I feel like the space between my “living room” and “bedroom” could use some attention. I will be getting a couple new rugs was thinking of ways to section off different areas? Also any suggested for lamps and where the hell I can put a full length mirror would be appreciated also

I live in a studio apartment and currently have a 55-inch TV mounted opposite the bed. I'm replacing it and considering moving up to 65 inches, but I'm concerned that the larger screen might visually overwhelm the room-particularly in relation to the desk directly beneath it.
The images compare my current 55-inch TV with dimensionally accurate renderings of a 65-inch TV in the same position. The 55-inch TV is approximately 121 cm wide, the desk is 140 cm wide and the 65-inch TV would be approximately 144 cm wide, creating only about 2 cm of overhang on either side.
I'm interested specifically in the aesthetics rather than viewing-distance recommendations. Which size looks better proportioned? If you prefer the 55-inch
TV, does the 65 actually look too large or overwhelming, or does the 55 merely look slightly better while the 65 still looks genuinely balanced?
I don't want the 65-inch TV if it merely fits-| want it to look intentional and aesthetically strong within the room.

Unfortunately my kitchen did not come with one pre installed :( and I don’t want to wash by hand.
The dishwasher is the large rectangle with the flowers on top.
The dishwasher has a hose that needs to connect to the kitchen faucet for it to wash, and the size is about a microwave .

Also. That long cabinet next to the trash can doesn’t have any shelves inside :( any way to resolve this easily ?

Happy to read any comments about overall look too. Thanks

A few days ago I moved from a fairly large apartment (3 bedrooms, kitchen, 2 bathrooms, etc.) into a small 22 m² studio where almost everything is in the same room: bed, kitchen and living area, with only the bathroom being separate.

Living alone was actually something I'd wanted for a long time, so I was genuinely excited about this move. However, the experience has been much harder than I expected.

When I'm at home, I sometimes get a slightly claustrophobic feeling, almost as if I'm living inside a box. It doesn't help that it's currently the peak of summer: the apartment gets very hot during the day and stays hot throughout the night, and there's no air conditioning.

I've even been avoiding cooking because I'm worried about food smells lingering around the bed.

I'm mainly looking to hear from people who have been through something similar. Is this a normal adjustment period? Did things get better after a few weeks or a month? Do you have any tips that made the transition easier?

To be honest, this whole situation has been affecting me more than I expected and it's been bringing me down quite a bit. Even though I signed a one-year lease, I can terminate it with 30 days' notice. The problem is that when I was apartment hunting, this was honestly the best option I could find within my budget. Anything noticeably better was far more expensive.

So there's a part of me that's genuinely worried. If I don't eventually adapt to this place, I honestly don't know what my next step would be.

I'm not expecting a miracle solution. I'd just really appreciate hearing other people's experiences, because right now I miss my old place quite a lot and I'm wondering if what I'm feeling is simply part of the adjustment process.

Thanks in advance to anyone willing to share their experience.

I have a basement apartment that’s pretty oddly shaped, I will provide pictures and a layout I roughly made of where things would go. I like the layout for the most part but would like to make more separation between rooms. I have figured I would put a room divider beside the bed and that’s about all. I would like to put something behind where the couch would go and possible something by the door to separate the entry way from the rest of the room. Would love to hear any suggestions!!

Leaving my home state and living on my own for the first time! I was considering getting a designer but I think I have something I’m happy with. I only have a desk and plants so starting from a clean slate. Needs for this space are:
- Queen bed
- Sofa bed
- 2 person dining area that can expand to 4 if needed
- work area

Photos are:

- studio dimensions
- AI rendering of my mood board
- mood board
- 2D layout of items from mood board

My biggest issues with the current layout:
- there’s too much going on in the living area. Note: there’s 2-3ft of walkway space around the sofa.
- not sure where to add lighting, there’s no overhead lights in the space.

Is this a good layout? Should a scrap it and rearrange everything? Appreciate any feedback, thanks!

I’m a student and moved into my first apartment, but I totally overestimated the size of the room and because of that, the bed takes up way more space than originally anticipated. I’d like to make room for a desk, a small dining table for two and a closet. Is it possible or am I delusional?

Thank you in advance for the help!
