Whether you’re a minimalist or downsizing, a studio apartment can be perfect for those that don’t need much space at an efficient cost. Many run into the problem of finding ways to best utilize their space in a studio. Here are our tips to help you out! Less is More A good idea to keep in mind is to choose a neutral color palette that is light, such as whites, beiges, ivory, taupe. That way you can create an environment that is more open. Expand your room by allowing natural light to flow in. Eliminate clutter by having only a few statement pieces in your apartment. Some good options are potted plants, a bold couch/chair, and adding a pop of color through rugs, blankets, and pillows. Try to limit the amount of décor on your walls, the more you have the more cluttered it will feel. Keep Furniture Against the Walls Keeping furniture against the walls will open your space more, this allows for a more welcoming environment! Instead of putting your bed in the middle of the wall, try putting it against the corner to allow for more space. Find Storage Furniture Having furniture that is versatile is the best for studio apartments! Find furniture with storage options such as bed frames with built-in drawers, storage ottomans, and even couches and/or benches with storage options. Have Furniture that is Semi-Open Some of these options include chairs/couches with exposed legs, and open bookshelves. By having thinner/open looking furniture, it can allow your space to feel more open. Use Mirrors as Wall Décor The reflection within the mirrors creates an illusion that the room appears taller and wider. Looking for an apartment? Check out our availability here !

Collective is excited to welcome Jackson Heights Apartments and Townhomes to our growing portfolio of resident-first communities in South Dakota.

Jade Wahl loves the kind of environment where most people would probably feel overwhelmed. “I thrive in chaos,” Jade said. “Every day brings something new.” Her career in property management started about eight years ago in Bismarck as a leasing agent before being promoted into a property manager role where she oversaw properties and the people who keep them running. Through connections from a previous job, she was introduced to Collective and shifted her focus to a different side of property management: Learning and Development Specialist. It was natural given her experience in supporting team members. "I love the relationships I get to create with each of our team members."

Her best friend back home happened to be a community manager and had a feeling she might enjoy property management. He encouraged her to give it a try. “My best friend back home thought I’d do well at it,” Tori said. “He was right. I knew from the get-go I’d be a good fit here.”
