Storage in a Studio Apartment: 6 Functional Ideas

It's not necessary to place bulky wardrobes in the room to store everything you need. You can arrange your belongings without sacrificing space and aesthetics. Let's see how designers do it.

Integrated Wardrobes in the Entryway

Designers Design Filosofia solved the storage problem in a small studio apartment using integrated wardrobes in the entryway. Mirror fronts helped expand the space. In addition, wardrobes from floor to ceiling concealed pipes, meters, and a boiler running along the wall.

Storage System Around the Sleeping Area

In a small bedroom, the storage system can be built into the platform under the bed or in wall-mounted shelves above it. The Interio DG studio used all available space around the sleeping area. This system combines a bookcase and a mini-wardrobe. There is also a convenient shelf for a projector and drawers for bedding.

Kitchen Cabinet Up to the Ceiling

If you want to make a small kitchen area more spacious, the optimal solution is to use the available space to its maximum. Designer Nikita Zub increased the height of upper kitchen cabinet modules up to the ceiling and dedicated one wall to built-in storage and appliances.

Balcony Storage

You can organize all the items usually scattered in corners of a balcony into shelves and a few small sideboards along the walls. That's what designers Cubiq Studio did. If you organize your items well, even a small balcony can accommodate a coffee table.

Console Table Under the Window Sill

By making the window sill wider and longer, designers Dina Karnaoukhova and Viktoria Karyakina increased the useful area above and utilized the space under the window. Blinds also hide the contents of the console table while allowing hidden radiators to heat the room.

Drawers in the Stairs

To fit a bedroom and office in a small area, designers at Reutemple arranged the bed on a higher level, leaving the floor for a workspace. They solved the storage problem using the stairs to the bedroom, where each step is a drawer.
