WHAT TO COLOUR YOUR WALLS
Today's market offers a wide range of wall coverings and materials to create beautiful and personalised wall features. Opt for smooth, silky and shiny textures. Keep away from bold effects in dark colours. It is better to avoid wall techniques such as combing, streaking, spatula effect in dark colours as they visually draw the walls closer, making the space look small, which in the context of a studio apartment is already in short supply. White, ivory and grey are ideal background colours and help in highlighting other colours that are combined with these.

Wallpapers, wall size photos, graphic illusions are in vogue. They enable instant transformation of space. Wood panels, mosaics, ceramic tiles imitating natural surfaces, exposed brick walls painted in white are timeless and a popular choice for studio apartments. Using glass and metal is highly recommended because of its versatility. Glass partitions, glass bricks, glass enclosures allow light to pass through and visually enlarge the room.

It is important to match the colours and textures of the floor with the walls and ceilings. I suggest using an achromatic (black, white and grey palette) or a neutral palette (browns & creams) for a studio apartment. This can be complemented with the accent colours of your choice. Since flooring is not easy to be changed often, better investment of time and money should go into selecting the durable one. Large wooden planks in light colours make the area look bigger. Marble and granite are timeless options.
MAKING A SPACE MORE PERSONAL
Although studio apartments can be kept open in most places, some people strongly wish to have certain areas personalised. It is good to use partitions or dividing elements that are less obtrusive and collapsible. This helps in maximisation of light and space. Sliding panes in glass help in saving space.
For more privacy, a roller blind can be fixed to the panel which can be used when necessary. Another feature I am noticing these days is a corner window. This visually opens up the space and provides ample natural light. Creating mezzanines for storage of books and other items is also a clever way to use a single space for multiple uses efficiently. Drapes can also be used as a dividing element. This could have a motif or a mural which provides a focal point. Bookcases without back panels also look beautiful in contemporary homes. Lighting plays a vital role especially in small homes with many restrictions.
HOW TO LIGHT UP CREATIVELY
Most of the general lighting should come from the ceilings and the walls. This opens up the room. Studio apartments should effectively make use of lighting to differentiate spaces. For example, it is important to differentiate a dining area from the rest of the space. Here, I suggest a lamp fixed three feet above the table. Using mirrors on walls reflects light and is a means to enhance natural lighting. When it comes to furniture, it is clear that “less is more” in studio apartments. Therefore, choose furniture with multiple uses. A table nest consisting of 2 or 3 tables can be used as a single unit or a multiple unit. Our good old foldable chairs can be stored behind doors when not in use. Dividing tables that can be extended both sides can be used as a home office and a breakfast counter.
With technology moving at a rapid pace, it is not far to see the use of fold-away beds, fold-away living room units and other such interesting options that can be built into the walls and concealed away when not in use to make the space look less cluttered in studio apartments.
Studio apartments are here to stay as youngsters; especially in metropolitans increasingly prefer independent lives thus opting for these. With smaller spaces, comes more practical living.
