The Do’s And Don’ts of Furnishing A Studio With Rental Furniture

Studios generate a lot of interest among singles who are looking for the ideal living space at an affordable price. But just when you start choosing your furnishings at a furniture rentals Toronto outlet, you realize that you need to be more efficient with your use of living space. In any studio, efficiency is always paramount. The style of furniture and the placement of the pieces you rent will play a significant role in how efficient you are with that space. Here are some Do’s and Don’ts to consider.

The Don’ts

• Rent furniture that’s too big or too small – this sounds easier than what it is. You may love that sectional but the reality is that it will overwhelm that small living space. Conversely, if you rent too many small or undersized items, it will make your living space look cluttered and messy. Rent average-size furniture rentals Toronto pieces.

• Place furniture pieces too close to one another – it can be tempting to put those pieces too close together and think that this will help you create more room. While this makes sense initially, it’s not efficient and will leave you with narrow walkways. The general rule of thumb is to leave 3 feet of space between your furnishings.

• Treat your studio like it’s one space – in order to make kitchens look bigger in small one-bedroom apartments, the living room is constructed smaller while studios are built as one room. You can use bookcases or room dividers to break up that living space into workable sections.

The Do’s

• Create a nook to hide or minimize your bed – it will make your studio look cleaner and more functional. Creating a separate sleeping area may help you sleep better.

• Hang curtains as high as possible – regardless of how high any windows are, hang curtains as close to the ceiling as possible to make the room look larger. The length adds to the height of the room.

• Hang long, horizontal shaped art and/or mirrors – this will make the ceiling look higher and the walls look taller. Mirrors will cast more light around your living space and give the illusion that your space is bigger.

• Incorporate colors and patterns – while less is generally more, it’s okay to spread some patterns around. This will make your studio feel less boring and confining. However, ensure that the colors completement the room and don’t clash with the décor.

• Rent storage furniture – furniture needs to be functional as well as purposeful in a studio apartment and not just take up space.
