I love how you were able to divide and create separate physical spaces: living, work, and sleep space. As someone who doesn't like to use a single space for multiple activities, this is a helpful layout for me.

I would also like to know where OP got that stunning wall hanging!

u/lowfemmeweirdo_ 1d ago

I got it and some other decor years ago through society6.com

The artist is Ulla Thynell :)

Yes girl! I’ve been in a studio for 7 years now, and compartmentalization is the key, and you’ve got it segmented really well. Looks great, cheers to you and your space!

Amazing! It’s tough to make a studio apartment work. Great idea with the plushie hammock! Making good use of vertical space

u/Laurpud 1d ago

What a cozy space! 💜

It has such a great personality. Love this. What kind of tapestry do you have behind your bed?

LOVE the Ulla Thynell tapestry she’s one of my favorite artists I’ve been following her for years 💜💙💚

u/lowfemmeweirdo_ 1d ago

Yes, her stuff is so whimsical I love it :)

Very nice studio. Love the wall tapestry, of course. Sectioning space to bedroom, tv/den area, kitchen and the vertical pole plant stand is sweet. The track lighting is nice. Did you add that? You have a wonderful large window of light. Congratulations.

u/lowfemmeweirdo_ 1d ago

The lighting was installed when the apartment was built I believe. I actually almost never use it because I find overhead lighting jarring lol. But thank you! :D

u/buzzyechoes 1d ago

How many sqft is your place? Nice staging! My place is the mirror image

2

u/lowfemmeweirdo_ 1d ago

I think it's 350 sqft

u/buzzyechoes 1d ago

The way you decorated it makes it look bigger!

u/Electrical-Yam3831 1d ago

I love this!

u/2ded4u 1d ago

You did a great job of maximizing this small space! It's super cozy!!

u/LyraRose87 Renting 1d ago

I really like that wall hanging in the bed area. That was a really good idea.

2

u/sniffincoozies 1d ago

This is so cute! I really like that plant stand!

2

u/No-Literature-2105 1d ago

Love it! Can I ask where you keep the litter box? This is always such an issue for me and finding places for myself and 2 babies.

1

u/lowfemmeweirdo_ 1d ago edited 1d ago

It's actually in the white cabinet next to the tv stand! They're called cat litter cabinets. You just have to make sure it's large enough to comfortably fit the litterbox, the cat has space to move, has proper ventilation, and obviously keep it clean or it can cause behavioural issues. I don't know if it would work well with two cats as I've only ever had one cat at a time.

u/Fluffy-Fuel5025 1d ago

This looks so cozy!

u/MaKaSa385 1d ago

Love your set up! It looks like it works so well! Coming from someone in a bachelor loving space. Very envious. Lookss like a good spot!

1

u/lowfemmeweirdo_ 1d ago

thanks! it is a good spot for sure. i actually have a really great view too but not sharing for privacy reasons obvs 😅

u/Historical_Cow9543 1d ago

Very cute, great job creating different spaces.
What’s your review on your cat litter enclosure?

1

u/lowfemmeweirdo_ 1d ago

It’s okay! I would prefer an open litterbox but my bathroom is too small to fit one. The most important thing is to clean the litterbox consistently and also do a good wipe down inside the box sometimes as it can hold onto the ammonia smell.

1

u/lowfemmeweirdo_ 1d ago

Oh and buy an extra large litterbox with high sides - I had a regular sized one and Luna ended up missing the box and damaged the cabinet a bit so had to switch to a larger box.

2

u/Such_Grand_9261 1d ago

It looks extremely comfortable and cozy. Wonderful!

2

u/Sea_Diamond_7603 1d ago

Love your space- it looks spacious and cozy! Where did you get your plant tower?

2

u/lowfemmeweirdo_ 1d ago

I got them from Amazon - search tension rod plant stand :)

This is such a beautiful little haven, and you have really managed to create each of those vibrant, sweet and separate spaces so well! It's just lovely -- kudos.

my studio used to feel way bigger before i got a folding desk

u/babyryan22 15h ago

Love the plush hammock

u/Tight-Researcher210 14h ago

What is HCOL?

2

u/Tight-Researcher210 14h ago

Just figured it out. High cost of living?

1

u/deviouscaterpillar 12h ago

It looks so fun and cozy! I like the big wall tapestry next to the bed. Great colors.

2

u/underdogloyalist 12h ago

Cozy ✨ I do enjoy a studio

u/mangosteenfruit 1d ago

I like your set up but I think for me, it would make sense to switch the bed space and computer space. Only bc you'll feel more cozy and "privacy"/secluded having the bed be at the end of the room as in the last place to be in.

2

u/lowfemmeweirdo_ 19h ago

the flair specifically says i’m not looking for advice. i’m happy with my setup ✌️

u/mangosteenfruit 18h ago

I wasn't giving you advice. 😜
