The kitchen and living space in this 330-square-foot New York City studio apartment is kept spare to minimize visual clutter and maximize space. The floor-to-ceiling kitchen cabinetry provides storage, while a compact table does double time for dining and working.

Sleek, low-profile furniture with a simple color palette keeps the apartment from feeling cluttered. An oversized black-and-white photo helps balance the visual weight in the room.

Stairs tucked behind a compact kitchen space lead to the lofted bed area. 

A sleek, compact kitchen doubles as the base for a lofted bed area. Cabinets extend to the ceiling to provide as much storage as possible.
