Things Every Studio or Bachelor Apartment Needs

Living in a one-room apartment can be something of a right of passage.

Now, however, with the cost of space steeply rising in cities and suburbs alike, living in a studio isn’t necessarily a necessity but perhaps a lifestyle choice. If you’ve found yourself in the one-room boat, check out these space-saving, multifunctional, studio-appropriate features that will help you make the most use of your square footage.
