If you're used to suburban sprawl, the idea of living in a studio apartment can be daunting. This type of urban oasis does not have space for an entire home office, a yoga room, or maybe even a bathtub. However, for the right person or couple, studios can be plenty of space. One way to create the illusion of more space and privacy is to add interior walls. The studios featured in this post all have glass walled bedrooms that not only separate the sleeping area from the main living spaces but do so without creating a claustrophobic cave. The glass walls are a beautiful, minimalist design element that let light pass through will still creating the separation that the homeowner might want. Let's look inside.
The first studio featured here is a stunning tribute to Scandinavian design elements and the power of the color white when paired with plenty of natural light.

The design is entirely cohesive, but soft gray curtains make it easy to close the bedroom off when guests come to visit and a little extra privacy is necessary.
A design does not have to rely on bright white everywhere to keep the minimal, cozy Scandinavian tradition. This next studio uses swaths of white but also some lovely earthen tones to great effect.
