Introduction :
Furnishing a small space can be a real headache, especially when trying to make the different functions of the apartment coexist. To create an ideal living space within a few square meters, the goal is to design a layout that is as functional as possible, while also being tailored to your budget and decor preferences. To help you envision your future sleeping area, here are 10 creative and original ideas that will make you want to spend time in your new cozy nest.
The choice of bedding for your sleeping area is essential. We recommend opting for a 140x190 mattress, which will allow you to enjoy a good night's sleep without overwhelming the room. Without resorting to the traditional sofa bed, you can arrange the space around this bed, integrating it into a refined and contemporary decoration.
1. The bookshelf: a functional partition
A bookshelf is a great option for defining areas in a studio. Placed at the end of the mattress, it acts as a partition, allowing you to neatly store your favorite books and showcase your objects. This piece of furniture helps establish a flow in your home and outlines spaces in a very natural way.
2. The wardrobe: a defined and organized space
Much like a bookshelf, a dressing area or wardrobe can separate the living room from the sleeping area. Its utility is undeniable, as it allows you to beautifully store your wardrobe. For a designer look, opt for a piece of furniture with clean lines.
3. An interior glass partition for an artist's studio vibe
In recent years, glass partitions (verrières) have become very popular, and for good reason. Light and glazed, this partition requires little construction work and is ideal for separating spaces. The plus? It lets natural light through, making it perfect for a studio with few windows.
4. Curtains for an airy touch
Curtains are the least expensive option and also the easiest to install. You can find a wide choice of ceiling-mounted rods, whether angled or rounded, in stores. Look for curtain models in light fabrics such as linen or cotton gauze. In record time, you can isolate the bed from the rest of the apartment.
5. The platform: the decor asset for DIYers
This tip is for those handy with tools, but it is not that complex to install. Standing about 1 meter high or slightly less, this installation is a real asset for a studio, allowing you to gain a few extra square meters. The mattress can be placed on the platform, which serves as a casing to significantly increase your storage capacity.
6. A colorful wall: the art of playing with contrasts
Sometimes a simple decoration trick is enough to change everything. Placed in a corner of the room, the sleeping area can be delimited by a beautiful splash of color that contrasts with the rest of the studio.
7. Wood on the wall for a cocooning atmosphere
For those who do not want to use partitions, a natural wood headboard is a good option. It also visually defines the areas and dresses up a simple mattress.
8. A wooden screen for a space that evolves with your needs
A wooden screen (claustra) is a beautiful idea for a studio and a sleeping area that you don't want to deprive of light. With its long vertical slats, it can also be adjustable to plunge the sleeping area a little further into darkness.
9. The mezzanine: always a good idea
The mezzanine is a common idea in small space design, and it’s easy to see why. it effectively multiplies the square footage by placing the mattress overhead.
10. Alcoves and nooks: using the assets of your home
Finally, the best approach is to take advantage of the unique features of your studio. An alcove can accommodate a comfortable bed, as can a smaller space under the eaves.
