One can talk of Penthouses, Townhouse as well as studio apartments.
You may not necessarily be right or wrong to call a studio apartment a one-bedroom apartment.
A studio apartment (also known as a studio flat) is a self-contained apartment comprising of one main room that combines a living area, bed and kitchen in a room.

Also, sizes may be around 25-45 square meters in most countries but can be slightly smaller in other countries such as Japan and South Korea.
The arrangements of elements in studio apartments varies. The kitchen can either be located in the middle of the room or tucked away in a corner.
Regardless of the relative placement of the different elements, the defining factor is that they all come together in a single room.
The fact that studio apartments are small and compact does not mean that they cannot be stylish and comfortable.
According Devtraco Plus; a real estate agency in Ghana, you should find these guides very useful in styling your studio apartment.

1.In order to enjoy your studio apartment in comfort, you should try as much as possible to leave clear pathways. You want to avoid having to maneuver too much objects around or risk walking into obstacles while being at home. Allow a free flow of movement from one area to the next to ensure the safety and comfort of you and your guests.
2.Eliminating clutter is one important rule of small-space living, in order for you not to feel cluster phobic or boxed in. It is, therefore, advisable to only bring in items that are essential and sentimental. Leave anything that adds no value to the space or your experience in it.
3.Another great way to open up the studio is to use multi-purpose furniture. You may opt for a pull-out couch that can double as a bed at night instead of having both a bed and a couch in the studio. You could also select a bed that has drawers or a cabinet beneath it to serve as a storage space. And for your kitchen, instead of having a few stools you could get a storage bench which would function as both a seat and storage for your tools and breakables. This will create space for movement in your kitchen.
4.Add pops of color to your studio. It has been established that colors affect our mood. Blue is said to work well for bedrooms and bathrooms because of its soothing effect which can lower blood pressure. So add a touch of blue either with draping, paintings, accent objects or walls. Your living room could have hints of red as red is known to raise a room’s energy level. Having this color in your living room area could spark up interesting conversations between you and your guests. While adding colors can creatively transform a small space, you do want to avoid going overboard with colors that may clash and end up looking tacky. Remember, less is more.
5. Always keep in mind that for you to enjoy your studio in comfort and style, you should create mini-rooms, leave pathways to aid movement, avoid clutter, get furniture that performs multiple-duties and finally add some color tactfully to your studio.
