How to decor a studio to look cozy and inviting?
You could try to put a large mirror on one wall and frame it with draperies like a window. The mirror adds dimension to the room and make the space feel bigger.


Another way to help is to try to go vertical, by adding tall shelving or hang stuff up to get more floor space. Sometimes the way you arrange the furniture can break up the room to make it feel like you have more space. like a fold up screen just inside the front door that blocks the view of the room some to add interest and maybe distract from the kitchenette at least for that brief few seconds apon entry.


Use of color and contrast can also add the illusion off more space, like dark colored walls below eye level can make it seem bigger (I think that is how it works) Ask a designer about that or read about it online.
Reply:I'd get a good sofabed (watch out, they're very heavy) and load it with colorful pillows and a couple of beanbag type chairs for the floor.





If you have some wallspace, frame a large piece pretty fabric or staple some around some foamboard, and use pushpins or corsage pins to pin up pictures, notes, momentos, containers with flat sides to hold light-weight stuff like pencils, pens, bookmarkers.

Reply:To create a d茅cor that you will be happy with, think about what you want and also what you don鈥檛 want. My choose would be the Futon.
Reply:Bold, warm colors, comfy rugs, and art work. I don't know if you watch "Design Star" but on season one David Bromsted (he actually ended up winning!)designed a studio apartment (well actually all of them did, but his was the best) and he created a half wall and created a small bedroom (I'd use a regular bed, maybe just like a really low one, it'd be modern and functional, a futon would be highly uncomfortable after awhile), he painted the walls red and brown (like some walls red, some brown, it turned out really great), and a nice black sofa, glass coffee table, a nice sized TV, and a functional, but small eating area would make the place look cozy, inviting, and great!
