The past few weeks i have been looking at studio apartments for myself...the way i look at it is that summer is coming which means i want to be back east where all my friends live and also close to fun nightlife. So i settled on a tiny shoebox of a studio in an amazing location with hopes that i will spend not a whole lot of time in there apart from getting ready to go out and sleeping.
When i say tiny people probably have bigger bedrooms than my entire new pad.....that said it doesnt mean im not going to decorate it all girly chic. Im excited i can have my own way with decorating and have already bought a chandelier to put in.
Some tricks i have learned while attempting this are:
Mirrors: and lots of them! It adds the illusion of a lot more space than you actually have.
Under bed storage units: perfect for storing shoes and foldable items such as t shirts...even some accessories and bags. im in love with the range from IKEA...so cheap and works a treat!
Tall but wide sectioned shelving units: you can use the lower levels for shoes and clothes and as you work your way up go with the more simple items such as jewellry so it doesnt look so cluttered.
When adding flowers or other decorations keep it simple aim for spindly flowers such as willow branches or cut your flowers down low so they don't take up too much room.
GOODLUCK!!! (and think of me in cooped up in my little shoebox apartment if its a crappy rainy summer like last year fingers crossed its not) xxxxxxx L
