This layout is a great way to make a small studio space feel bigger.
The wooden divider between the bed and sofa creates two separate spaces and makes the studio have better flow. For better sleep comfort, we would suggest replacing the bulky divider with space saving ceiling curtains to upgrade the twin bed to a full bed.
