A studio apartment with a tall beige kitchen

This studio apartment in Sweden has a separate bathroom and a small hallway that is used as a home office spot as well, yet the main functionalities are all combined in one room rather than a separately available bedroom like is usually the case in a slightly bigger one-bedroom apartment.

The kitchen is the central element of this studio apartment and it covers the entire wall from left to right and floor to ceiling. Optimally using vertical space like this is a great tip for decorating studio apartments, especially if you are working with high ceilings just like in the case of this beautiful home.

A ceiling-high kitchen with beige cabinets to optimize wall space

One of the walls of the kitchen and living area is filled entirely with a beautiful kitchen in a minimal design with beige kitchen cabinets combined with white laminate countertops and black hardware.

When you don’t have a lot of floor space available, just like in this living space, it’s crucial to optimize storage space where possible. Those tall cupboards and upper cabinets that go all the way up to the ceiling look very modern and sleek, yet at the same time, they also offer storage opportunities for this micro apartment.

The fact that the kitchen cabinets touch the ceilings only accentuates the ceiling height of this studio apartment, which in turn makes it visually more spacious: a goal you want to achieve when decorating studio apartments.

A dining room area in front of a rounded window

The beautiful, large rounded window is one of the most impressive features of this studio apartment as it fills the small space with an abundance of natural light. The limited space in front of the window has been used for a small round dining table, which complements the no-nonsense style of the kitchen perfectly and seats 4 people.

The small round HAY CPH20 dining table combined with the J39 chairs in light oak wood goes very nicely with the light gray walls and the beige kitchen cabinets. The window sill does double duty as a seating area as well, which is a perfect solution for combining functionalities on small square footage/meters.

Living and sleeping area separated by a rattan folding screen

When decorating and planning the layout of studio apartments, you should always try to find a nice way of dividing the functional areas and separating them from each other. This is the case for both a small and large room in fact.

The white fabric sofa combined with the white coffee table and the warm beige area rug goes very nicely with the light gray wall color with which all the walls in this studio apartment have been painted.

The area rug, artwork on the wall, and the floor lamp by the sofa all contribute to visually separating the functional areas from each other, while the room divider made out of rattan actually creates a separate bedroom area in the layout. Folding screens like this are so easy to use and they don’t require any remodeling, which is great when decorating a rental.

The sleeping space of the studio apartment is small, yet sufficient and the foot of the bed has been decorated with a beautiful gallery wall, which goes all the way up to the ceiling. Just like the kitchen, this beautiful combination of art prints accentuates the ceiling height of this beautiful studio apartment.
