Ideas For Renovating a Studio Apartment

1. Ideas For Renovating a Studio Apartment

2. Renting studio apartments has always been popular for those on a lower budget, or those who need to save money while they plan for something bigger, and if you own a studio apartment or want to purchase one with the intent of renting it out, there are a number of ways you can make the most of the space available and attract potential tenants. To renovate a studio apartment and give yourself a year-round income from paying tenants, here are just some of the many things you can do to improve the space:

3. Focus on a functional kitchen Just because someone’s budget is small, doesn’t mean that they’ll expect to rent a studio apartment with a tiny, cramped and unfunctional kitchen. Many renters enjoy cooking and want to be able to do so no matter where they live, reinforcing the importance of having a kitchen space that isn’t necessarily huge, yet offers most of the facilities of a standard kitchen, in a standard home. Fortunately, there are several ways to help save space and still provide tenants with a comfortable kitchen, and an experienced renovation company will offer you storage solutions that help to free up countertops and provide places for seating, too.

4. From shelves and ceiling height cabinets, to foldaway chairs and tables and hidden appliances, make sure your studio apartment has a kitchen tenants won’t be able to resist.

5. Don’t make the bathroom an afterthought While many renters will be willing to forego a separate living, cooking or dining space within a studio apartment, rarely will they accept a bathroom that doesn’t afford the privacy required by most. Working with an experienced renovation company will help you create a bathroom that is both bijoux, and functional, and while you will most likely be required to forego a tub, you can almost certainly have a decent sized shower installed. Modern storage solutions such as floating shelves or combination cabinets can also help reduce clutter and keep the space as open as possible. Consider an effective use of mirrors to create the illusion of space, and utilise as much of the height of the room as possible.

6. Create sectional spaces While you might not have the space to create entirely separate rooms, you should be able to section off certain areas or zones of the apartment to help tenants feel as if they can partition their lives as they might in an ordinary apartment. After all, few of us want to eat, sleep and relax in the same space. One way of sectioning off a studio apartment is to use non-permanent dividers, and these come in a variety of styles and colors to suit all tastes. Less costly than having walls constructed (which in many instances, isn’t even physically possible), your general contractor will guide you through your options to help give tenants the space and privacy they need in a compact space such as a studio apartment.
