Studio apartments and open layouts are very widespread today but it may happen so that you want some privacy for your sleeping space. How to deal with a small or large open layout creating a sleeping space with some privacy? Let’s discuss some ideas to separate this area from the rest of the room.
Tips On Designing A Studio Apartment Bedroom
Choose A Corner
First of all, choose the space right: it might be a nook by the window if natural light is essential for you in the morning but more often people prefer a corner with no window. Why corner? Because separating and giving it privacy will be much easier than separating a zone in the center of the room.
Make A Loft Bedroom
If your ceilings are tall enough, consider having a loft sleeping space building it up the floor and placing some other nook below, this way you’ll use your space to advantage. A loft bedroom has enough privacy even without space dividers and if you want, you may also install some.
The open layout is divided into areas, with a small sleeping space in the corner, with steps and a window plus an arched entry.

Style The Bedroom Cohesively
The bedroom being a part of the whole open layout should be decorated accordingly, using the same style and colors to make the design flowing and seamless.
Get Functional Solutions
A small sleeping space requires practical solutions: wall lamps instead of floor or table ones, built-in storage units and storage beds, wall-mounted shelves instead of basic nightstands and so on. Consider all the possible ideas to make maximum of every inch of your space.
Space Dividers For A Studio Apartment Bedroom
Storage Unit Space Dividers
The most effective and practical solution is using a storage unit space divider. It can be some shelving unit by IKEA, some built-in shelves, hanging shelves or even a stack of cabinets. Pair up a cabinet with a glass wall to let light in. This way you’ll get more storage space and though the level of privacy is questionable, the idea itself is good.
Advantages: let the light in, look seamless and provide much storage space, very easy to make yourself and to change if needed.
Disadvantages: don’t offer much privacy.

If you need a bit more privacy, you can also get some ribbed glass, which is a big trend, or hang some curtains.
Advantages: let the light in, look seamless and very up-to-date, work in any interior.
Disadvantages: may be expensive and requires installation. A glass wall doesn’t offer much privacy.
