How to Arrange Furniture in a Standard Studio Apartment: 3 Variants

Together with MTK "Grand", we asked Maria Lazich to develop three variants of living room furniture in a panel studio for a family couple — so that there is comfort to relax in front of the TV, receive guests, and sleep. Which variant do you like more.

Variant 1

For this variant, I divided the room into two functional zones: relaxation and TV watching. The boundary here is a through-the-wall bookshelf. Such an arrangement suits those who believe that sleeping should only happen on a proper bed and a good mattress.

Opposite the TV is a small sofa — behind it you can have coffee or comfortably rest. The working area with a small table is placed on the insulated balcony.

Sofa "Austin"

Variant 2

In this variant, there is a large straight sofa with a convertible mechanism "book". When unfolded, it doesn't take up much space, its dimensions are 200×160 cm. A soft footstool and armchair serve as additional seating.

The room design is done in classical style, so a decorative fireplace with a TV is placed in the center of the bookshelves. Along the wall, there is a built-in wardrobe with a mirror and a chest of drawers for clothes.

On the balcony, there is a reading zone under warm lighting from a wall sconce.

Variant 3

In this variant, I placed a spacious corner sofa with a footrest for relaxation and TV watching in a semi-reclining position. Such a form of soft furniture is very popular in Russia and often purchased for living rooms. When needed, it can accommodate all guests.

Opposite the sofa is a chest of drawers for clothes with a TV. Next to it — a built-in wardrobe for clothes and a spacious workspace. On the balcony, across its entire width, there is a lounge platform for relaxation.
