4. Put in open shelving. Every inch of space has to work hard in this tiny studio apartment, so the clever central dividing wall fulfills multiple functions. The open shelving provides much-needed storage while clearly dividing the sleeping and living areas. By keeping the shelving open, light filters through to the “bedroom” from the “living room.”

You can also use an open bookshelf or TV stand to create a similar separation.
