Popular styles in studio apartment design

If the living space is small, then the main task is to make it as original as possible, to expand the space, but at the same time not to forget about home comfort. If you need to equip a small studio apartment, you can choose one of the popular styles in the design of such premises and create a unique atmosphere there.

One-room studio apartment is a room without partitions. It is a single space bounded only by the main exterior walls. Such housing became popular in the United States of America when the economic crisis hit there. Since many immigrants entered the country at that time, spacious living quarters were not enough for everyone. I had to make do with small studio apartments.

In Russia, such apartments began to gain popularity only at the end of the last century. It became necessary to use the space as efficiently as possible. However, even today, not everyone understands how to fit a living room, bedroom, bathroom, kitchen and other rooms in one room.

There are many important advantages to a studio apartment. Among the most significant advantages are the following:

• The choice of styles is almost unlimited, plus in such apartments it is also very convenient to translate design ideas into reality. Space is limited, so you don't have to think about how to decorate different rooms.

• You can even combine several styles at once, combine different directions in one room. Of course, a fine artistic taste is needed here.
• Even if the studio apartment is not small, but rather large, everything you need is almost at hand, always in sight.

• Such housing is a great option for childless families, lovers, single people.
• Lack of interior partitions. Some people think that this is a minus, but you can look at it from the other side. Walls take up space, because of them, the usable space will significantly decrease. If there are no walls, you get the visual effect of freedom and space. Many people who work in crowded, cramped offices sorely lack this effect.

However, the studio apartment also has disadvantages. This is definitely not a suitable option for a family with children, because everyone should have an isolated space. Otherwise, the psychological situation in the apartment will be very tense.

A large studio apartment with no partitions seems almost empty. It looks like an uncomfortable office or industrial space. In order not to overload the space, but at the same time to organize and zone it, you will need spatial and logical thinking, as well as careful analysis.
