Add storage space by installing a makeshift closet, floating shelves and under-bed containers, or invest in multipurpose furniture such as ottomans or coffee tables with hidden storage. If your prospective studio lacks storage, get creative. Closets and cabinets help your studio feel more organized and spacious, avoiding a cramped or claustrophobic environment. When shopping for a studio, look for a unit with ample storage space. A studio typically consists of one bathroom and a main room that serves as the living room, bedroom and kitchen. Studio apartments are an excellent choice if you don't have many possessions or if you're planning to live alone.
