Studio Design Help! 400SF

Vivianasanchez2

Hello! I am in desperate need of some expertise. I am moving to this 400 SF studio apartment in Brooklyn and would like the space to feel enjoyable to be in. I have pictures of the floor plan and design inspo here. I would like to use a loft bed to free up space, any recommendations there would be lovely. And any suggestions on pieces that reflect the inspo in the pictures would be great! Only other necessity is a space for a small desk and computer. Thank you!

Lofted beds remind me of my first NYC apartment 💛 I got lucky and inherited one that was left by the previous owner, but I know that a lot of big box retailers sell them too: West Elm, Pottery Barn, even Wayfair. They tend to be expensive (I've seen them go for $1500+). I wonder if you could find someone local to build you something simple, or buy something used on FBM to save some money. For other furniture and decor, I'd check out the local shops in Brooklyn — so many good finds! I love Lichen, Renew, Dream Fishing Tackle, Dobbin Street Co-op, Salter House, Humble House, and Horseman Antiques to name a few
