Moving Into A Studio Apartment? 3 Furniture Pieces Worth Buying
Sharing an apartment with roommates may provide you with a private bedroom, but you may feel like you are ready to move out to live on your own. If you are choosing a studio over a one-bedroom apartment, you may know that you will not have a ton of square footage to utilize.
Although you may need to get creative to make the space work well, you can start exercising these creative demands when you go furniture shopping by picking out certain features.
Storage Ottoman
While you may know that a coffee table can work quite well in most homes and even apartments, you should prioritize a storage ottoman instead. This is often a better option than a coffee table because you will get concealed storage with the particular furniture piece. Looking for a large one is great for storage purposes and it will allow you to set up a tray on top to act as a table.
This combination will give you more storage space and functionality than getting a multilayer coffee table that may only be able to provide exposed storage underneath.
Tall Dresser
Although you may get a closet where you can store some of your clothes, you will also want to pick up a dresser to store pieces that you do not want to put on a hanger.
Shopping for a tall dresser is a smart move because it will take up less space in a small studio and help you make use of all the available vertical space. In most situations, you will also be able to use the top of the dresser to put up decorations or store items such as lotions and fragrances.
Sofa Bed
While sharing an apartment with roommates, you may sleep on a normal bed inside your bedroom. Although you can bring a bed to the studio and make it work with the space, you can get more use out of the apartment by switching to a sofa bed instead. This furniture piece gives you a sofa for sitting on by yourself or with guests as well as a bed to sleep on at nighttime.
If you are persistent enough with your search, you can even find sofa beds with a storage compartment underneath where you can store most or all your bedding comfortably.
Making these kinds of strategic furniture purchases will help you move into a studio apartment feeling confident about your experience.
