1. Stunning Studio Apartment Makeover

BEFORE

Oftentimes when we move to a new place, we just unbox everything thinking everything will have its own space. We’re wrong. What we usually end up with is a bed and a table with everything else on the floor and out of place.

Instead of building a partition that separates your living room from your bedroom, a more budget-friendly and more stylish way to divide these rooms is by having shelving units like the IKEA KALLAX. It will also be space-efficient because you can use the shelvings to put your things, additional storage boxes and cabinet doors in your Kallax unit. If you want a more stylish look, changing the knobs on cabinets is a great idea!

For the living area, you need a sofa and a coffee table. The ultimate in minimalism is stackable stools that can be additional chairs when you have guests or double as a side table when you don’t.

Finally, your work nook should be highly functional and well-lit. You can place wall shelvings on top of your work desk to save on space and to have everything you need near you. You can also have an ALEX drawer that can double as a platform for your desk. Now, what’s important to you will always be within reach and you can concentrate on doing the more important things.

2. Home Sweet Home Office

A corporate office space is cluttered. Your home office should be a place of refuge, It should be peaceful and clean and has everything you need in it. It should also have good lighting so you can concentrate very well.

Instead of having bulky floor standing bookshelves, you can have wall shelvings to create more floor space. You can also install wall mounted cabinets like the IKEA EKET combination storage and make your own patterns according to your taste.

Now that you have the floor space, you can add a desk and lamps to complete the makeover. You now have a minimalist but highly functional home office!

3. A Living Room That Lives

The living room is where we, and our guests, spend most time in. In most cases, we have everything that’s needed to make a living room like sofas, coffee tables, chairs, and books. What we don’t have is efficiently managed space.

This problem can be solved by rearranging your furniture. Instead of having a 3-piece sofa, you can create floor space by opting for a sofa like the IKEA FRIHETEN. You can add a coffee table and an armchair to accommodate guests.

Instead of having bulky bookcases, you can place your mementos and books on wall shelvings. Add a lamp or two and you now have a perfectly arranged, stylish and clutter-free living room. An IKEA SVALNAS wall-mounted workspace combination adds a touch of functionality if you want to do some work in the living room.

4. Dividing Space in a Smart Way

Since we live in a limited space, having separate rooms for everything is not entirely feasible. This is not to say that we are stuck with what we have. Rearranging your furniture and adding little budget-friendly elements can be used for a stylish makeover.

You can add a rug or a carpet to divide the living room from the dining room. Adding elements like wall mounts or hooks to mount your bike like the IKEA SKRALL is essential if you run an active lifestyle. A desk lamp on a desk behind your sofa and you now have a work nook. To maximize your floor space, we can add wall shelves and wall mounted combination storages.

Voila! You have a smartly divided, minimal, and very functional area for everything you need to accomplish. It’s stylish, too and it won’t break the bank.
