Last summer, I downsized from a two-bedroom flat to a 22 sqm2 studio. While I also downsized from two people to just me, which made the process a little easier, it wasn't a straightforward transition. What I was now working with was a space roughly the size of a large room in a house, and people are often surprised that I managed to create ‘zones’ within the small space, including a living area. Where there is a will (and a stylish sofa needing a home), there is a way. This is how I faked a ‘living room’ in my studio flat.
I believe these tips are helpful if you live in a studio flat, but also for anyone in need of small living room ideas – because if I can do this in my tiny studio, anyone can do this in an actual lounge, no matter how small.
