In a university residence, Cité U or through specialized real estate agencies, it is not easy to find a student room or a studio. Students only need a small area to study in good conditions. It is important for them to create a cocoon and a new home, other than the family home. For this, it is therefore necessary to arrange your student accommodation in a practical manner, to save space .
Focus on versatile and multifunctional furniture
The student opts for 2-in-1 furniture. In order to be able to fully exploit the space and have a dual use of the furnishings. The sofa bed is a basic purchase for a student. In the form of a sofa bed or BZ, it remains affordable for all budgets.
However, remember to invest in a convertible sofa to sleep there every day, so as not to suffer from back problems. The mattress should ideally have a foam thickness of 13 cm, with a density of 25 kg/m3. Less thick and less dense, it is more reserved for occasional sleeping. In addition to sofa beds and BZs, a convertible sofa for small spaces is ideal for benefiting from both comfort and space saving.
To work, eat or entertain friends, the liftable coffee table serves as both a living room table and a dining room table. Transformable and foldable, there are several space-saving table models. Either with a lifting and folding top, or with adjustable feet to raise the top.
Or extendable with retractable extensions. As a student, it is not always easy to have several chairs: 4 chairs are useless on a daily basis. However, this can be complicated if you have friends over for a meal or an evening. The bench with storage can therefore be a good compromise. It allows you to benefit from more seats, while optimizing space.
Floor cushions can be placed in front for more comfort and used as “ottomans” for an aperitif with friends. If the studio or bedroom is a living space, it is also a working place. Like preparing for your tutorials for example, revising your courses or your exams. The library desk is ideal for occupying wall space, storing books or placing high-tech equipment.
Optimize wall space by arranging the walls
A small space like a studio or bedroom should not be overloaded with furniture. To leave a sufficiently large circulation space. It is then necessary to arrange the walls. Before drilling, first check with your landlord that you have permission to make holes to place shelves, cubes or wall shelves.
If it is not possible to drill into the walls in your rental home, adhesive hooks are perfect. Especially for hanging light things in the bathroom and kitchen. Such as towels, washcloths, dishcloths, plastic or wooden spoons. Magnetic credenza bars can support more weight like metal or silicone instruments.
