The same floor area can feel open, work-ready, or storage-heavy depending on where the sleeping zone ends. Start with a zoning strategy instead of placing furniture at random.
Quick answer: A 300 sq ft studio is roughly 27.9 m², but the usable rectangle may be smaller once kitchen runs, bathroom walls and entry routes are removed. The studio records below are open-room anchors, not a full apartment plan.
Geometry first. The approved studio anchors use 5600 × 5000 mm for a micro studio and 6100 × 6100 mm for a small studio. Measure the actual open area and fixed elements before applying a layout.

What changes between them?
Open-space leaves the centre flexible, work-first gives the desk a reliable home, and sleep-privacy creates a stronger visual separation.
Trade-off: More privacy usually means less open floor; a work-first zone can make hosting less spontaneous.
Before you move anything
These records assume an open rectangle. Kitchen, bath, columns and radiators are not silently included; redraw them in the free Planner. Measure the outside of every bed frame, desk, wardrobe and chair operating zone. A mattress preset is only an anchor.
