24 May 2024 Alex

Think cosy, not cramped. Decorating a studio flat can feel overwhelming, but with a few nifty tricks up your sleeve, you can transform your compact space into a stylish and functional haven. At Quintain Living, we offer a range of furnished and unfurnished studio flats that can serve as the perfect canvas for your creativity. Let’s dive in to find out how you can maximise your studio space, featuring some stunning studio flats from Quintain Living.

 

Smart Storage Solutions

 

Keeping your studio organised is key to maintaining a spacious feel. When space is limited, every inch counts. Finding innovative ways to maximise minimal space can make your studio feel more spacious and organised, leaving you with plenty of breathing room.

 

How to maximise minimal space

Utilise under-bed storage for off-season clothing and linens, choose ottomans with hidden compartments for extra seating and storage, and use built-in cabinets to keep your belongings neatly tucked away. These smart storage solutions will help you maximise the space and functionality of your home, creating a stylish and clutter-free sanctuary in your studio apartment.

 

Concealed storage options at Canada Gardens

Our cosy Canada Gardens offers studio flats designed with plenty of storage options and built-in cabinets. These features are perfect for those looking to keep their space effortlessly organised and tidy. 

In fact, our flats at Quintain Living come with a wide variety of smart storage solutions such as under-bed space, floating shelves, storage cupboards and furniture that doubles as storage. Our apartments are tailored for a clutter-free lifestyle, without sacrificing quality.

 

Zone Your Space

 

 

Zoning your studio apartment is essential for making the most of your space and your lifestyle. Creating distinct sleeping, living and working areas can make your studio feel larger and more organised. 

 

Create zones using rugs and curtains

Rugs and curtains aren’t just for looks; they’re excellent tools for delineating different areas of your studio. A well-placed rug can signify a ‘living area’, while curtains can be used to separate your sleeping space from the rest of the room. These elements help create visual boundaries without the need for physical walls, maintaining an open and airy feel.

 

Create zones using distinct colours and furnishings

Another fun and effective way to zone your studio is with the smart use of colours and furnishings. Opt for different colour schemes for each zone to visually separate the areas. For example, you could use calming, neutral tones in your sleeping area to promote relaxation and vibrant colours in your living area to energise the space. Choosing furniture that serves specific purposes in each zone can further enhance the sense of separation. For example, a tall chair for working and a low chair for relaxing.

 

Stylish studios at The Robinson

The Robinson building is known for its striking and quirky appearance- blending influences from contemporary design, mid-century, art deco and retro kitsch. The use of colour is intrinsic to the design of this building - with bold pops of colour around the communal areas and apartments. 

The studios’ are known for their innovative design elements that support zoning, including versatile furniture and unique decor options. These spaces are perfect for those looking to maximise both style and functionality in their studio apartment.

Natural Light and Colour Choice

 

 

Harnessing the power of natural light and selecting the right colour pallet can transform your studio apartment, making it feel spacious and inviting. Let’s explore how these elements can work in tandem for your living space. 

 

The importance of natural light 

Natural light is important in any living space, but especially in studio apartments. Maximising the amount of natural light in your home can enhance your mood and create a brighter, more open atmosphere. Consider positioning mirrors strategically to reflect light and make the space feel larger. Keeping windows unobstructed and opting for minimalist window treatments can help maximise the influx of natural light.

 

The importance of colour choice

Choosing the right colours for your studio apartment can significantly impact its overall feel and appearance. Light, neutral colours such as whites, creams and pastels can make a small space feel larger and more open. These colours reflect light, adding to the airy feeling of your studio. On the other hand, incorporating pops of vibrant colours through textiles and accessories can add character and energy to your home. 

The key to a harmonious home is to find the balance between light, neutral bases that reflect light with colourful accents that show off your own unique style. 

 

An emphasis on light and colour at Madison 

Studios at Madison are designed with attention to natural light and intentional colour choices. Large windows and a sophisticated open layout ensure that these flats are filled with sunlight, creating a bright and welcoming atmosphere. The interiors of our Madison West studios feature a neutral colour palette that enhances a spacious feeling, while stylish furnishings add splashes of colour for a balanced, contemporary look.

 

Bring in Greens

 

Indoor plants can add a touch of nature to your space, making it feel fresher and more alive. Adding greenery is an excellent way to personalise your studio and create a calming environment, especially when considering how to decorate a rental apartment.

 

Choose Low-maintenance Plants 

Opt for low-maintenance plants that thrive indoors, such as succulents or peace lilies. These plants are easy to care for and help improve air quality while adding a touch of natural beauty to your home. Just remember that some plants are toxic for pets, so double-check the plant you’d like before bringing it home to your furry friend. 

 

Vertical gardens or hanging plants 

Vertical gardens or hanging plants can add a lot of greenery without occupying much space. They are perfect for studio apartments with limited floor space, allowing you to enjoy the benefits of plants without sacrificing valuable room.
