Student studio space saving ideas that leave room for more

University life calls for a creative desk setup. With smart storage, you can organise essentials, explore your passions and turn your first flat into a cosy home — without cramping your space. Because studying matters, but so does living.

Organise your desk, clear your mind

The ALEX setup is ideal for those who love tidy spaces. With drawers, shelves and noticeboards, there’s room for study and hobbies. One side for work, the other for you. Add the right lighting to focus or unwind.

A cabinet that suits your room and fits your pantry essentials

Create a mini pantry next to your desk with the IVAR cabinet — perfect for snacks, drinks and even plates. Add a trolley for cutlery and a thermos. A simple way to save space and keep refreshments close.

Away from keyboard

A student room needs more than a desk. BILLY keeps books and games in order, MOPPE stores the small stuff, and BRÄNNBOLL puts your game collection on display. Smart, affordable storage you’ll never regret.

Make those square meters count

Small space? No problem. A laptop stand, a mobile nightstand, underbed drawers and wall hooks keep everything in place. Study and relax without rearranging your room. Smart living means no compromises.
