Setting up your studio, a difficult but not impossible mission. To feel good, no function should be neglected, especially sleep, which is essential to your well-being. Discover three sleeping ideas to sleep well in a studio and enjoy your entire interior space, day and night!

How to sleep well in a studio?

A studio is a one-room apartment where your living room, your bedroom, your kitchen and sometimes even your bathroom coexist. As opposed to houses where each room has its function, in a studio you have to manage to fit everything in the same room. Space is very limited, you have to find tips to feel good there. It is very important not to overload your studio to fall into the arms of Morpheus.

Sleeping in a studio: focus on the essentials!

The size of a bedroom is one of the main factors that affect the quality of sleep. If you feel oppressed, you will have difficulty falling asleep. It is therefore essential to respect certain rules:

• Clearly define your needs: To save space in a room that plays several roles, you need to arrange it according to your way of life and your habits. By defining the corners of the studio where you will spend the most time, you can also get an idea of ​​the size of the furniture you need. If you love relaxing in front of the television or sleeping in, you will prefer a large bed rather than a single bed.
• Purify your interior: Get rid of what you don't use! The studio is not a room where you can store things you don't use. The golden rule in a studio is to abandon the superfluous and keep only the essential.
• Tidy up daily: The smaller your apartment, the more you will need to allocate a defined place for everything. All coats, jackets and shoes should be stored in a closed closet and avoid piling things up on top of closets. This allows you to find your belongings more easily, and to enlarge your studio, both visually and physically. If you lack storage, there may be unoccupied corners in your living space that need to be rethought. For example, you can hang a shelf above a door, add storage boxes under the bed, etc.

Rethink the intelligence of your space

Every corner of the apartment must have its function. The trick, if possible, is to separate the different corners of the studio using a bookcase, a Japanese panel or plants for example.

If the surface area does not allow you to provide space for each function, convertible furniture allows you to free up space when one of the furniture's functions is not used. Thus, certain corners of your apartment can evolve throughout your day, according to your needs. These multifunctional pieces of furniture offer numerous design possibilities.

For example, an extendable lift table will allow you to have a nice coffee table for the living room that will fold out into a large dining table to entertain your friends for dinner. Convertible furniture is very practical so as not to neglect any function of your apartment, and to make you feel good at home.
