Furnishing and decorating a studio?

This looks very nice. It has a divider as you wanted.

My daughter’s room is 10×13, and it’s going to be really difficult getting that much furniture into that space without carefully measuring each piece and plotting it out on graph paper before you buy it. A full size bed is 4’6” x 6’3” without a bedframe. That’s roughly ¼ of your floor space for just the bed. you will need to allow about ⅓ of your square footage for room to move around in.

You might want to look at IKEA; they have ideas for studio space set up, and feature furniture with a smaller footprint. You will want to make sure that you get double duty from each piece—under bed storage, coffee table that stores things, lamps that wall mount, etc.

@PandoraBoxx I second IKEA. Our local IKEA store actually has rooms where they demonstrate living in a certain number of square feet, and they have one for 250 sq ft. That’s about twice the size of the available area, but you can look for some good ideas.

When I lived in a studios over the years, I couldn’t afford to decorate with items from Ikea. :) So, in one, I had a murphy bed which is the ultimate space saver. In another, I turned my full bed sideways and treated it like a daybed/couch. Then I had space for a small armchair, a coffee table and a tv.

I didn’t have a real daybed, but here’s a pic with the idea anyway.

The room is too small to divide. My daughter lived in a small studio once and we built a loft to put her mattress on. That freed up the living area for sofa, chair, TV, etc. Your bed will take up a lot of your floor space. If it were me, I would buy a sofa bed and make the living area a den.

I think that would be a great idea! Here is another idea, if you get a room divider and arrange your furniture, obviously, on each side of it then that would be cool. Or you could get two dividers and create a “bedroom” and then use the surrounding space as kitchen area, seating etc. how about this

or you could use an all open “slot’ book case as a divider like this
one for an airy spacious feeling (if that’s what you might want)

good luck!!

@mollypop51797 Do you realize how small a 10×13 room is?

I’m just providing ideas and inspiration they don’t have to apply to the actual situation, but can’t they be helpful.
