Artists, young professionals, and just those people who want a simpler life are all good candidates for a studio apartments. These living spaces that have little to no division between the living room and bedroom range from the shoebox to the spacious, but each provides a comfortable haven for its occupants. We’ve shown you some gorgeous studio apartment spaces before, and even given you ideas for how to lay them out, but now it’s time to take a look around these 12 studio apartments and get inspired to make your own space a little more beautiful.

The first apartment comes from designer Segey Procopchuk, and has an eclectic look to it. A few quirky elements, such as a pressed wood kitchen design and big graphic tchotchkes give it a distinctly youthful appeal. Although the bedroom is open to the living room, a custom sliding glass door closes it off for at least the impression of privacy.

The second studio is from the visualizers at Mod Design, and measures just 50 square meters (538 square feet). However, as we have seen so many times before, a home does not require massive square footage to be stylish and comfortable. The interior here is definitely modern, with many black and white elements as well as beautiful wood floors.

In this apartment, from visualizer Anton Zeitsev, we see a different style for the same area measurement. In this apartment, the bed is not hidden away at all, with the lack of walls giving it a very open atmosphere. The aesthetics of the home are very sleek and minimal, from a black matte kitchen to natural wood flooring and a simple, small dining area.

The fourth apartment was visualized by Yekaterina Volkova and comes in at 35 square meters (376 square feet). The space is quite functional, with plenty of natural sunlight coming in from skylights and very minimalist furnishings that refrain from bright colors or loud patterns.

Speaking of minimalism, this next apartment from visualizer Sergey Petrov is a tribute to that idea, utilizing only those furnishings and materials that are absolutely necessary for a beautiful and comfortable life. The apartment was designed for “a very active woman.” The small living room is just large enough to entertain an intimate group while the decadent bedroom, covered in natural wood and the perfect accessories, is somewhere anyone would love to spend a night or three.

This apartment is 50 square meters of utilitarian comfort. The Moscow apartment comes from visualizer Artem Babayants. Its open floor plan lets light filter into every area of the home while reflective surfaces create a warmth and vibrancy in the simple space.

This apartment, designed for a young couple, is a classic industrial loft style but the unique design elements live in the remodeled kitchen. The bright green color and spacious area make it a focal point for the occupants and guests alike. Shelving elements as well as natural wood palettes give it a quirky style that’s all its own.

While the last space was a bit domestic for a young couple, this bachelor apartment has its own life. The lines throughout are clean and low, calling to mind its Asian inspiration. Simple overhead lighting and white walls are ideal for some carefully chosen art as well. The bedroom gives a shout of personality with the black and white striped duvet.

This Stockholm apartment uses lots of white and natural materials, as is quite common in Swedish design. The interior glass wall creates a partition between the bedroom and living area, but again does not provide much in the way of privacy.

The last apartment is one of the more feminine and soft of this particular dozen. The intricate patterns on the wall in the living area are decidedly frilly while the soft colors are cozy and perfect for a young family.
