There are plenty of advantages to living in a studio apartment. often, this type of cozy setup means that you get to live in the center of everything, with easy access to all the comforts of urban life, from the hottest restaurants and nightlife to the best and most stylish shops. When a studio is well-designed, it won't even feel cramped. But one key to a good studio design is the use of natural light. In this post, we'll explore four different studios that make sure windows and sunlight are maximized so that the homes feel spacious, clean, and beautiful.
One of the easiest ways to create more space in a studio like this one is through the use of a lofted bed.
As sunlight streams in from a recessed window, it makes this reading nook/living area exceptionally welcoming. The swing arm wall lamp is a clever solution to saving space in this tight space.
While the staircase up to the lofted bed takes up a bit of room, it considerably safer and more stylish than a ladder.
The bed in this studio is far enough from the ceiling that it is comfortable for sleeping but not so claustrophobic as some designs.
Storage is always a question to address in a studio like this one, which measures just 22 square meters, but this lofted storage area is a creative and stylish solution.
Looking out from the kitchen the studio really does feel just as big as it needs to be.
Wood accents and specific lighting keeps the lofted bedroom feeling cozy instead of cramped.
A white tile bathroom is the epitome of clean.

The concrete planters that house a large desert plant are a industrial addition to the design.
The kitchen is very open and welcoming of the light streaming in from outside.
In the small bedroom, the bed is snuggled up against the window, making a sunrise awakening that much easier.

The green glass wall takes center stage in the design, filtering sea green light throughout the apartment.
A white kitchen design with funky barstools is a perfect perch for morning nosh.
In the bedroom the green glass and brass accents look supernatural and beautiful.

The final studio also makes use of glass walls, albeit not as colorfully.
