Living in a drab, dark studio apartment is like a rite of passage. It seems illogical, but organizing and decorating a small space can be harder than doing so in a large one. Sure, it may have been fine for some of us to crash in a semi-furnished studio during our college years, but once we entered adulthood most of us started wanting a clean, chic living space that we could show off. Luckily, Ikea is around to give ideas to those of us who need helpful tips on giving life to our tiny living spaces, and Ikea’s Home Tour Team did just that for one fortunate Washington D.C. resident.
Ikea Home Tour is a home makeover team of sorts. They completely design and refurnish apartments for renters that may be having a tough time envisioning what to do with their spaces. Namatie, a professional living in a Northwest D.C. studio, was puzzled over how to maintain a functional area in which she could still invite friends over. Of her 460 square-foot studio she said, “My biggest challenge in this space is entertaining, and just trying to figure out where everything can be placed. And, just having people in this small studio is kind of hard.”
The Ikea Home Tour Team definitely had a tough job on their hands as Namatie’s apartment was quite tiny and disorganized to begin with. Nevertheless, what they transformed the apartment into was spectacular…
Another happy ending! It’s great to see people full in love with their homes.
