Creating Personal Space in a Studio Apartment

Most people are familiar with the problem of lack of personal space, as they grew up in small apartments with limited area. However, it's not necessary to resort to radical measures such as knocking down walls.

It's enough to thoughtfully plan the arrangement of interior elements, create spatial zones. Every apartment should have a working zone, guest zone, personal zone, and relaxation zone.

It's preferable to separate the relaxation zone from others, create a sense of privacy and hide it from outsiders. The working zone requires organizing a clean and functional space where nothing distracts from work. For children, it's advisable to set up a play zone, their small personal world. What about when guests suddenly arrive? You shouldn't restrict yourself in communication!

It's not necessary to spend money on a complete renovation of the apartment. Let's try using items already present in the apartment or keep expenses to a minimum.

Interesting Ideas for Creating Personal Space

For example, a spacious children's room can be divided by a large drawing board mounted to the ceiling. This adds some personal space for each child and creates a creative area for games, preparing lessons, and communicating with friends. Another option is color zoning: a bright carpet, shelf, or partition.

To divide space, it's trendy to use artificial trees, furniture such as buffets, tables, sofas, or lounges to create various sections. Open bookshelves can also be used for this purpose. They will create a cozy nook and at the same time can be used for storage. One of the most popular methods is using folding screens in oriental and other modern styles.

Another practical method is dividing the room with curtains or fabric. You choose their length, color, pattern, and transparency. They can be opened manually or with technical aids.

A transparent partition will additionally decorate the interior. Choose a color that complements the room's color and achieve a wonderful effect!
