Your studio unit doesn't have to resemble a plain white box. Make it look and feel spacious with these easy-to-do design hacks. By Katherine Lopez


Living in a small space sure has its challenges. A studio unit nowadays can measure 20 sqm or less, but this doesn’t mean you are confined to living in a shoebox of a home. There are several creative ways to make a studio unit look bigger and no, we don’t mean tearing down walls or combining it with its adjacent condo unit. Here are some of these design hacks:


1. Use horizontal or diagonal elements.

“Owners can add horizontal lines as [accents] to get the illusion of a wide space. It could be a ceiling treatment, a floor layout, or wallpaper. They can also play with a diagonal pattern,” says architect Anthony Yan of Yan + Sotto Architects and Builders. If the shape of your studio unit is rectangular, place the horizontal elements on the shorter side of the wall to visually extend it.


4. Say no to bulky furniture.


5. Go for bespoke, multi-functional pieces.
