  • Farida's 400-square-foot studio apartment in Toronto, Canada is perfectly set up for a creative young professional. She's been living here for almost 4 years and has done a great job of creating defined spaces within the open-concept condo space. She has a twin bed at one end which saves loads of floor space, and a wall unit that provides storage for books and crafts, but also acts as a room divider for a bit of privacy. She has a full-size closet for clothes, a desk for doing hair and makeup, and also for sewing projects. In the living room, she has a loveseat which is perfect for lounging, and a comfy spot to do her cross-stitch projects. In the kitchen, there's a small table for eating or for computer work and a linear kitchen with a surprising amount of pantry storage space. Finally, in the hallway, there's a coat closet, a laundry closet, a bathroom with a stand-up shower, and a bit of an entryway. There's also a West-facing balcony and floor-to-ceiling windows all along one wall of the condo.

    We love checking out small and alternative spaces like tiny houses, yurts, float homes, etc. but it's also worth remembering that there are loads of small apartments and condos in cities that allow for simple, minimalist living if that's where you want/need to be. Small space living isn't restricted to rural areas or to alternative structures. That being said, living in the city can be quite expensive (although rural living might appear cheaper, but you often need a vehicle!). Lots of things to consider when choosing where and how you want to live :)

    I love your home. Minimal without being sparse. Functional. Airy & bright.
    People forget that when you have to (or might) move around a lot that you focus on the basics + enough to turn a space into a home. Very well done. Congrats on sharing your hobby and talent with others online.

    In such a small and cosy space, you need to keep order and everything organized, and she does it greatly. P.S. Toronto looks amazing!

    Your apartment is gorgeous, I like how you separated all the different areas and there also seems to be a lot of storage space. I could see myself living there.

    I really like her studio apt. The decor is so calming. I like that she has a single bed. If you don't have the space a single bed is perfect. Also I love the separation between the living room and the bedroom. The glass shower is a nice way to allow the small space to feel open. Great apt styling. Thanks for sharing.

    The windows and the outside access makes what is already a nicely planned place truly good to work in. You have done a fine job with organizing and the handwork is what I do and appreciate your gallery wall with quilts. Thank you for our visit. Toronto so special with your introduction . Stay well.

    I love your place it's beautiful and I love the idea of you separating the bedroom from the living room with that partition ..it makes it look so much better that way and yet you still left it a little open so it wouldn't look so confining you did a great job this place is gorgeous!!

    Oh my Goodness! What a stunning space. Farina has made a beautiful home for herself. It’s light and bright. I don’t think I’d change a single thing! This makes me want to take up cross stitch and embroidery again ( let’s just say it’s been 45-50 years since I did it ). I don’t blame her for wanting to stay as long as she can!

    I love that this is very doable and livable. I do think an "island" with storage might be great and a wardrobe might be helpful for storage. That divider looks like expedit from Ikea or whatever can actually store a lot of stuff- clothes, food appliances, linen, craft stuff, files, books etc.

    This is a very beautiful apartment! I really like the way the space has been divided up into functional areas. I also appreciate the amenities in the apartment itself. Many times small apartments lack full kitchens but not this one. I think I would be happy creating meals and entertaining in that kitchen. The storage is adequate and probably quite a bit more than many spaces this size have but I may have to reconfigure a little bit on closets as hanging space is kind of one of my features I really like to have in a home. The wall of windows is absolutely stunning and the terrace is gorgeous. I'm sure it is a wonderful place to spend outdoor time in the morning months. Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful home with us!

    🙆 here is some suggestions if you don't mind. Why don't you turn the back of sofa to the bookcase where the sofa is facing the kitchen. Get you a tape measure and measure from the microwave to where the coffee maker sets, then go to Ikea and buy one of those long slender counter that fits the measurements and purchase 3 bar stools to put under the counter. You would have space to prepare food while also speaking to visitors sitting on the sofa or they can turn around and face you if you are sitting on sofa. And when you alone you can use that counter space to do all your projects!🤷‍♀️ By the way your embroidery is absolutely creatively beautiful.

    The floorplan of the condo itself is well designed and that is the difference many condo spaces in Australia are poorly designed and offer no flexibility therefore added to the small area they are restrictive in use. This one feels flexible I was imagining at least 3 ways you could utilise the space I would live there. 👍
