New York City
380 Sq. Ft. Studio Apt.
Architect: Front Studio
With the average price of Manhattan apartments hovering around $1 million, studio apartments are not only an economical way to own but they're also prime for imaginative living with a big punch.
The architects, Yen Ha and Michi Yanagishita, partners in a Manhattan architectural firm called Front Studio, ingeniously applied a Rubik's Cube or oragami-like functionality to the work space, kitchen, sleep, and dining areas.

After
Kitchen wall swings out to extend the kitchen counter space and when closed, it seals off the kitchen into a clean box-like form.
Likewise, the work space wall swings open which entends the work space. When closed it also forms a clean box-like shape.
The architects were able to repurpose the former murphy bed niche into
closets, as well as a concealed dining table. This area can double up
as additional work / kitchen counter space.
The bed is cleaverly concealed beneath the living room platform; pulls
out when needed, then push in to hide. There is also additional storage
space beyond the foot of the bed.

Decorating a room in your home does not need to be expensive or difficult. Often you can achieve fantastic design results by spending a small amount of money on items that make a big difference, or by using items you already own. Those photos is a great design and it is great property also.
