A breezy, bright studio is the choice of bold and unconventional people. However, there are pitfalls in decorating a borderless apartment. For example, the bedroom. It practically doesn't exist. Building extra partitions is simply not desired. What to do if visually highlighting the bed area is essential? How to better decorate a place for sleep and rest? We found 10 original solutions for elegantly incorporating sleeping space into the viewable area of a small studio apartment.

1. Visible Boundary

A successful solution if a piece of decorative art serves functional purposes. An unconventional partition not only highlights the individuality of the entire apartment but also emphasizes the bed area, making it more private.

2. Corner Placement

Probably the simplest way to define space around the bed is to place a sofa. This solution is both functional and beautiful: no unnecessary details. Visually, the sleep zone is open but appears more cozy.

3. Art of Camouflage

If you don't want to draw attention to the bedroom, use neutral monochromatic colors for wall, floor and ceiling decoration, as well as for furniture and bedding. This camouflage makes the sleeping area invisible. If this solution seems boring, add a vibrant accent in the form of a canopy.

4. Create an Accent

A fairly popular zoning technique is to highlight the wall behind the bed with a more vibrant color. If you are absolutely against any templates, interpret this method in your own way. For example, hang a large mirror with a contrasting frame on the wall. The mirror will not only be a color spot but also visually enlarge the room.

5. Multi-functional Option

If due to limited space you want to abandon the idea of placing a bed, think about how to use the area under, above and around it. The sleeping space can become a functional and convenient storage system.

6. Light Curtains

If you love hosting guests or need a private space, hang a large curtain to the floor. This is an excellent alternative to bookcases and other heavy structures.

7. Bed or Sofa?

A place for full sleep or a rest zone for reading and meeting friends? If you can't decide and space is extremely limited, combine both. Today it's easy to find a bed that looks just like a cozy sofa for the living room. Decorative pillows and a matching blanket will make the bed unrecognizable, but... only until nightfall.

8. Out of Sight

If you place the bed around a corner, it appears to be gone entirely at first glance. First impressions are crucial. No wonder designers and decorators pay so much attention to the design of the entrance hall — from the front door to clothing hooks. What guests see first will become the business card of your studio.

9. A Lucky Pair

If you plan to create a wardrobe in your studio apartment, design it so that the walls form a small niche where you can place the bed. In this way, an impression is created that you have a room inside a room. Yet the space won't seem smaller or more cramped.

10. Bold Solution

Still feels like there's no room for a bed? Place it right in the center of the room. Let the bed become your zero kilometer, a point of attraction, a source of inspiration for the rest of the interior.
