Furnishing a small space or studio

Furnishing a small space starts with what you do there: sleep, cook, work, relax and store your belongings. Letting different activities share the same floor space at different times can make a studio or small apartment easier to live in.

Start with a floor plan and your routine

Mark dimensions, windows, doors, radiators and connections. Then draw the furniture in use: the bed open, a chair behind the desk and kitchen doors open. This reveals conflicts between activities. List the belongings that need a permanent home so storage is part of the design from the beginning.

Combine activities that take turns

A guest room can be a home office during the day with a wall bed and desk. In a studio, a bed with a sofa lets the living space change function. An extendable table accommodates visitors. Choose combinations that suit your routine: a daily workspace needs different planning from an occasional guest bed.

Bring fitted furniture and systems together

A fitted cabinet can use an alcove or provide storage around a bed. A compact kitchen needs usable work surfaces, appliances and clear walkways. Nurban Space considers these parts together, from the initial consultation and measurements to design and installation. The examples below offer a starting point.
