The Ultimate Guide to Furnishing Your Studio Apartment with Bean Bags

Posted on by Melanie

Why Studio Living Needs Smarter Furniture

Living in a studio apartment in Melbourne, Sydney, or Brisbane? Every square metre matters. The right furniture can make your space feel open, stylish, and genuinely liveable. Forget clunky couches and awkward futons—modern bean bags are the new heroes of small-space living.

 

Why bean bags are perfect for studios:

  • Flexible: Shift from lounge to workspace or guest bed in seconds.
  • Lightweight: Reconfigure your room easily—no heavy lifting.
  • Compact: Fits into corners, under windows, or doubles as extra seating.
  • Stylish: Options like the Butterfly Sofa, Avatar Lounger, and Mod 3 Cozy Corner look designer, not dorm-room.

Real-World Layouts: Small Space, Big Impact

Let’s break down a typical Aussie studio (30–40sqm):

 

The Challenge:

  • Need a spot for relaxing, working, and (sometimes) sleeping guests
  • Want to keep the space feeling open, not cluttered

The Solution:

Butterfly Sofa
  • Iconic shape and structured support in a compact footprint
  • Wide enough for two, but fits where a loveseat won’t
  • Available in premium interior fabrics and outdoor Sunbrella® fabrics—both stylish, durable, and easy to clean
Avatar Lounger
  • Slim profile, ergonomic support
  • Tucks neatly next to a window or bookshelf
  • Doubles as a reading chair or gaming seat
Mod 3 Cozy Corner
  • Modular, so you can rearrange as needed
  • Great for a “living room” nook or a makeshift guest bed
  • Neutral colours match any décor

Designer Tips for Maximizing Your Studio

  • Layer with Throws & Cushions:
    Add texture and colour—plus, they double as bedding for guests.
  • Opt for Multi-Use Pieces:
    A large bean bag can be a chill-out spot, a guest bed, or even a meditation cushion.
  • Keep It Light:
    Choose lighter colours to make your space feel airy. Sunbrella® and Air Mesh options are perfect for bright, modern apartments.
  • Easy Storage:
    When you need space, move your bean bag to the balcony or tuck it in a corner.
Studio living doesn’t mean sacrificing comfort or style. With the right bean bag furniture, you can create a space that’s flexible, chic, and uniquely yours—without the bulk or the hassle. Explore the full range at beanbags.com.au and see how easy it is to upgrade your apartment living.
