Decorating a studio apt need ideas PLEASE!
Comments (13)Since it's a small space how about keeping most of the walls light and adding an accent wall with some texture looking repositionable, removable, alternative wallpaper I think this is on Modenus but may be elsewhere). That way you could keep an open feel but add interest with the walls with wallpaper and the rest with cool wall art. You could give the illusion of more space. When or if you decide on a reusable wallpaer color just add some pillows of that shade to your bed. To further that idea add some interesting lighting, some that shines up and some that shines down (mix it up) and have dimmers. Have a wall with art that has painting lights....See MoreHelp with studio apt floor plan and colors
Comments (48)loved this side table! But again, how do I stay cohesive with the design style? All these wood finishes throw me off not sure how to mix furniture pieces or style without making it too busy... Also my friend suggested that these tables are so low.. My couch is lower but what size do I want to go with? Lastly... I haven't chosen a rug yet but been looking.. Might find a more ombre stipled looking neutral one is what I'm thinking... Maybe in cream and beige tones... But I don't know what size yet. Not sure if it should be the length of my whole couch, or if it should exclude the area that the ottomon/chaise section will be. I see this done either way... But not sure and don't know if maybe I could get a second small rug for under kitchen table to increase the emphasis on seperate kitchen/living space... Is that too busy? Ahh! Sorry for These long posts but this has all been hugely helpful and I am really appreciative of the feedback and good advice! Also will be purchasing two accent chairs that will double as additional kitchen table chairs when needed, not sure about the placement of the chairs and if they should be all on same living room rug?!

Comments (6)Cool coffee table! Just because you're in a small studio apartment doesn't mean you have to decorate like you're in a college dorm. There are other issues I'd deal with ahead of the coffee table. The rolling cart, ladder shelf and the low crate for books and plants need to be replaced by real furniture. Be careful that not everything you furnish the room with is leggy and spindly. A tall, substantial piece of casegoods on the white wall will serve to visually counter balance the brick wall, and provide you with storage. The little primitive ladder with the plant hanging on it would be interesting hung horizontally on the wall above the sofa. You could put industrial style clips on it to hold interesting black and white photos. Shop for a slim long table tall enough to fit over the AC unit and fill that recess. That's where you can arrange your plants and some of your decor....See MoreBlack studio apt.
Comments (9)This is almost 2× the typical price of most of the units of this sort, so they are trying to recoup the cost of the renovation. This is probably someone's pied a terre. I don't think most people are going to want to pay this much for a unit in what is mostly student housing. There are other pied a terre in the building but most people invest minimally in their units. I think it's going to be a hard sell....See Moreapple_pie_order
