My studio flat



Hi everyone, I'm Beverley, 24 and living in North London, England. I moved out of my parents house 8 months ago and in to this tiny studio flat, which I rent alone. I've been wanting to post photos for ages but only now feel that I've finally made it my own, and ready for sharing!

Just some notes and a bit of background info before the cut -
- There are lots of images!
- I furnished the whole place and customised as much as possible (you'll notice a lot of Ikea furniture)
- I live in the attic room of a 4 storey Victorian conversion, so I could only really buy flatpack since nothing else will fit up the stairs! (My next place will be on the ground floor and I'm determined to thrift everything to fill it).
- The rest of the photos are on my Flickr if you want to see more DIY, daytime shots etc.
- I would very much like to know your views, good or bad :)




My kitchen, not a bad size considering the flat itself is one room! This is the view as your enter the door, to the left.


Another view of the door and kitchen from the other direction.


Bookcase that I use as a room divider and general display case for my typewriters and favourite accessories. This is the view from the kitchen side.


View looking straight ahead from the doorway.


My tiny bathroom, it's hard to get a good angle of this!


View looking right from the bathroom door. I tried to set my furniture up so it divides the space, this is the living/dining area I guess!


My window seat made from stools (that I move round the table if I have dinner guests), shelf unit that I plan to fill with plants.


View from the window seat.


From in front of the wardrobe.


My sleeping/sitting area. It's a day bed so I just re-arrange the cushions when I have guests.


View from standing on the bed.


Close up of some of my favourite work.


The bed frame comes in handy for hanging jewellery!


This is actually a bedside table but I don't have room for much bigger, so I use it as a dining table. It can fit up to 4 at a squeeze! I usually have it tucked into the corner and pull it out when eating.


View from the 'front' of my bookcase.


Close up of my wardrobe. The previous tenant left it behind, it was an Ikea Aneboda that wasn't quite to my taste so I customised it!


Inside my bathroom, not much to see apart from a lot of products.


Some ikea mini chests that I customised.


My rather small book collection.


Close up of some of my favourite things.


Close up of the polaroids in my kitchen.


Apologies for cross-posting and thanks for looking!

EDIT - Thankyou all so much for your wonderful comments! <3

Love it!!!

I really like how it is all full of stuff and personal, but without being overcrowded. Also loving the use of furniture to separate the room into sections.

Where in North London do you live? I liked in London for seven years, mainly North (Golders Green, Manor House, Islington) and loved it. So much better than South! :-P Now I'm in Nottingham - bigger flat for less money, but there isn't that great London vibe.

Thankyou!
Ooh I know those areas, yep. I'm in Archway, it's not bad but I would much rather be up the hill in Highgate! Some gorgeous houses there.

I was going to ask this as well! It's lovely, I think you have done a brilliant job dividing it into seperate living areas.

This is a positively GORGEOUS space.. I would kill to live there and have all your things.

I absolutely love this space! It has so much personality and it doesn't seem cluttered (which is a feat, considering you only have one room). I'm really impressed!

Oh, and you're lucky, I live in a two bedroom with a separate kitchen area, and it's still smaller than yours, it boggles the mind.

Anyways, I'm adding this to my memories for inspriation. Lovely!
