How To Make Your Studio Apartment Look Bigger

Whether you are a foreigner planning to relocate to the UAE or an expat already working here, buying a studio apartment in the UAE’s skyline is certainly a big milestone you will ever achieve.

Nevertheless, by designing and arranging everything strategically, not only will your small apartment look bigger but it will also feel so cozy that you, as well as everyone else, will love it. We know you are wondering how to make your studio apartment look bigger. So, in this blog, we are going to share a few tips that will definitely help you give a new and spacious look to your studio apartment.      

10 Tips For Making Your Studio Apartment Look Bigger  

1. Buy Multipurpose Furniture

One of the best ways to make your studio apartment look bigger and more spacious is to buy minimalistic furniture that doesn’t occupy too much space. Moreover, you can also consider buying multipurpose furniture that can help you save space while serving your multiple needs. For example, you can buy a sofa-cum-bed which can be used as a couch in the daytime and can serve as a bed during the nighttime. Similarly, you can invest in a wooden room divider with shelves. Not only will it allow you to segregate your bedroom but it will also give an aesthetic look when used as a bookcase. 

For example, if you live in Dubai, there are many online and physical furniture stores in Dubai that have a huge variety of multifunctional pieces of furniture. Many furniture stores in Dubai offer floating shelves that can be used as a workstation too. 

2. Use Hidden Spaces

One of the biggest pieces of furniture in your home is your bed. However, buying a bed with drawers and storage compartments inside is a smart idea. While the bed occupies a big area, the same area can be used to store a lot of stuff, helping you maximize your storage area. Alternatively, you can buy a wooden platform bed and place rolling underbed storage bins. These storage boxes come with wheels so you can easily roll them in and out whenever needed. 

3. Install Long, Sheer Curtains

When it comes to accessorizing your studio apartment, the significance of beautiful curtains can never be overlooked. Not only are curtains an important element to give your apartment a cozy look, but they can also make your studio apartment look bigger. Use floor-to-ceiling, flowing curtains to make your home look more spacious than it actually is. It is even better if you install sheer curtains as the lightweight fabric allows the light to filter through, while at the same time acting as a light diffuser. The soft light makes your home look more sunny and roomy.

4. Place Area Rugs 

Placing square or rectangular area rugs helps you divide spaces in your studio apartment. For example, you can put down a square rug in the living area and a rectangular rug underneath your bed. Using area rugs gives your studio apartment a cleaner and more organized look. Hence, your room looks less cluttered and more airy.
