FAQs
What is the Floor Plan of a Studio Apartment?
A studio apartment combines your living room, bedroom and kitchen into one open space to create a one-room apartment. While the open-concept design of a studio apartment does not include walls or partitions to section off different rooms, the floor plan includes space for a bed and living area, as well as separate closet and bathroom space. If you choose to live in an apartment community or rental property, your studio apartment may include smart home features, an outdoor patio or balcony, and access to the community’s pool and fitness center.
What is a Studio Bedroom vs a One-Bedroom Apartment?
The most common difference between a studio apartment and a one-bedroom apartment is the layout of the bedroom and bathroom. One-bedroom apartments have a designated separate bedroom (and bathroom) within a greater apartment space. It will also have walls separating the bedroom from the other rooms, which may include a living room, dining room and kitchen. Studio apartments do not include separate rooms.
How Can you Decorate a Studio Apartment?
One of the benefits of a studio apartment is an open-concept floor plan that can be creatively decorated. Less is more when it comes to decorating a studio. Consider finding furniture that serves more than one purpose, like an upholstered coffee table that can also be an ottoman, use organizers to maximize space in your closet, or purchase a bed with storage to maximize your drawer space. In a studio apartment, you’ll also want to think vertically. Take full advantage of the height of your space by incorporating shelves and tall bookcases into your design. Lastly, use area rugs, curtains, privacy screens, and furniture to create separate spaces within your studio apartment.
