Living in just one room with no walls to divide your bed from the kitchen or the living room is not easy. And when that one room is on the small side, it’s even harder. This collection of stupendous studio apartments aren’t just mentioned because they’re stylish. They make the list because they people dwelling in them have found clever and beautiful ways to create visual divisions between the functional areas of their one-room home.


“Only select items you LOVE. If it doesn’t excite you, don’t get it. Especially in a studio where you have to look at everything in one sitting, you don’t want to get tired of anything you’ve selected.”

These creative studio apartment dwellers have mastered the art of making all of their living needs fit into a small space. And the fact that they’ve created beautiful spaces to live, work and entertain in makes them inspiring case studies for anyone trying to make their home (no matter the size) functional and fabulous looking.


“My biggest challenge (still is) is making sure I only have what I need in my space, especially being so small in size. I just have to ask myself, do you honestly need this in your life?”
