You two have a perfectly set apartment, I love it! May I suggest you one thing: you can put bookshelf to other wall, where mattress is now, and buy wall bed and put it instead of the bookshelf. Then you’ll have a perfect sleeping area and keep all the functions you have now.
I’m just binge watching tiny apartments videos and like the idea of wall bed cause it saves so much space!
Really good idea 👍
I agree! Such a good idea!
Irina Novikova I thought of this the first time i saw the mattress on the wall.

Not sure if your still living their....i noticed most comments are a year old...
IM RETIRED 47 YRS
INTERIOR DESIGNER ARTIST AND PROFESSIONAL PHOTOGRAPHER
If your still their
I SUGGEST YOU GO HIGH....UPWARDS TOWARD THE CEILING....
WITH ART WORK AND ADD A LARGE MIRROR ON THE RIGHT WALL
THAT WILL MAKE THE ROOM SEEM SO MUCH LARGER UPON ENTERING THE ROOM
PLACING ARTWORK UPWARDS ON THE WALL WILL DRAW THE EYE UPWARD
THE ROOM WILL LOOK SO MUCH LARGER...
TALL PLANTS AS WELL
EVEN A PILLER WITH A HANGING PLANT ON IT
(PEARL PLANT) HANGS WELL
👏👏👍🇺🇸
Why is everything nowadays called minimalist? The term is stretching to the point it's losing it's meaning. Misleading.
Just cause the walls and furniture are white doesn't make it minimalist
Selectivelymute, I know right!
Hahaha. 😂
Yes. Tidy, organized doesnt mean minimalist.
Jup.. I just call this a student room / tiny studio apartment. This has not much to do, with minimalism
It’s not minimalist, just small
Lauren minimalist in size?😅
I love how this place looks like an actual appt where people live. Most tours I see are soooo clean and picture perfect that it makes me think they are staged :/ love your tiny appartment!
Thank you so much! so sweet! We really love our apartment :)
Agree! Sometimes it makes me think, "Are you really live there? Where are your stuffs?"
The fact that your flat is small doesn't automatically make it minimalist.
Enlighten me with the definition of minimalism please.
@@alonashen5926 idk if there's a definitive definition - but for me, it has to do with getting rid of unnecessary stuff. This can also be in a two or three room apartment. Open space, no clutter. Emphasis on usability.
@@-Medici Thanks for your input I'm just wondering why many people don't consider this a minimalist home.
@@alonashen5926 There are different types of minimalism (subcategories) and in different areas of life. For example, utilitarian minimalist would only have 20 or something pieces of clothing whereas a non-utilitarian minimalist could have 80 items of clothing. Perhaps, unlike the utilitarian minimalist, this person has to wear a lot of uniform for work but loves to dress up when theyre not in uniform. Perhaps they go on holiday to hot locations a lot, enjoy swimming or snorkelling often, perhaps they play a lot of sports or go hard at the gym.. all of these lifestyle differences would mean they could own more clothes compared to the utilitarian minimalist. They may find a lot of purpose and enjoyment in their clothes and fashion whereas strictly utilitarian minimalist doesnt. However, what these two minimalist have in common is that they have everything they need. Perhaps one of them may have a collection of clothes, books or whatever they adore however the rest of their life takes on a more utilitarian feel. They use what they have often and nothing is sat lying there, unused or unpurposeful. Minimalism is about decluttering yes, but it also doesnt have to be aesthetically bare. Thats a nice aesthetic that many strive for but, many people also forget that minimalism is a mindset and a lifestyle. You have the things you need and some things that bring you joy, but not in excess. Overall, minimalism is what you make of it but I personally wouldnt consider the place in this particular video minimalist. Its just small, somewhat organised and tidy. I enjoyed the video but, if I was critiquing, I spotted many areas that could have had a minimalist touch to it.
There are different types of minimalist. This may be considered one.
Just a suggestion, It would be nice if you move the bookshelf forward like making it as a divider from your kitchen and dining and install mirrors at the back of it so it would create an illusion of a larger space ♥
Thank you so much for your creative suggestion. Lot's of love from Germany :)
Minimalism does not mean empty. You define your version of enough, you get to define your level of gratitude. If you love holding physical books then you keep all your books or maybe pair down just a few. If you no longer use several kitchen appliances then you let those go. I love plants but I only have the discipline to keep up with 1, that’s my preference and anyone who chooses to live in a jungle is their business. “Use things, not people because the opposite never works” __ The Minimalists.
Amen! You are the first person to talk about minimalism in it's true essence here in the comments. It really IS very personal and is all about consuming consciously and using and buying without excess what THEY need and THEY are happy with. Thank you so much for this comment! I wish you all the best.
I'd turn the two bookcases into a wall that divides the dining area and bedroom so you can have a little privacy. Push the matress into the corner. Idk.
Thanks for the great tips :)
Not really minimalist apartment; Just a tiny tidy apartment.
Minimalist is having things u like and are important too u! Some have more things they like around them than others
Not even as tidy 🙈😅
There are no minimalism rules!
busie N by that rule everyone including the queen could be a minimalist.
Super tiny ? Yes.
Minimalist? Definitely NOT !!
so many books
I read so many mean comments in this video.
Let me get this straight.
MINIMALISM DOESN’T MEAN YOU HAVE TO GET RID OF EVERYTHING.
1. When someone decided to become a minimalist, it doesn’t mean that person have to get rid of everything that s/he bought before living as minimalist.
If she (and her boyfriend) happens to have “many” shoes and “many” books, it could be the one that they bought before.
2. Being a minimalist can choose things that s/he doesn’t want to OR can’t give up.
For example: If a person don’t want / can’t give up on physical books but give up on clothes, beauty products, foods, accessories, or any other things, that person is still minimalist.
Not giving up on something doesn’t automatically means that person isn’t minimalist.
3. Minimalist isn’t about “having less” or “having smaller” or “poor”.
Minimalist is a mindset of having enough, rethink before buying/having and conscious consumption.
If you think ‘Ohh she has too many stuffs, means she’s not a minimalist’, please take 5 minutes on your smartphone to google more about minimalism and don’t be such a judgy person.
*Thank you for sharing your beautiful apartment.
I hope the negative comment won’t discourage you to be minimalist nor stop making contents.
Thank you for such a thoughtful comment 😊 and I totally agree with you. I even made a separate video explaining minimalism and essentially said what you said. At first the negative comments did made me question myself but then I realised that you can't please everyone. So thankful I'm not discouraged to make more videos 😊 thank you for reaching out, wish you all the best.
I have been practicing minimalism and intentional living. It truly saves time and conserves my energy.
yes! less stuff and stress to worry about :)
Sleeping on the floor will make your spine stronger...enjoy your tiny cozy home.
Thank you😊 hope it will be healthy for my back.
where are the pillows
That's not true
this is medically and biologically not true. it actually is so bad and can progress arthritis faster
Its a sarcasm...
I love how all the videos of 'our/my tiny home' describe it 'super cozy' rather than just 'small'.
I really do find it so nice and cozy! :)
Beautiful little apartment! The plants really make a difference. Thanks for the tour!
thank you! :)
I love how spacious your tiny space is.. this has become one of my house inspo.
Been replaying this vid ❤️❤️❤️
Aw, this made me smile! Thank you so much! Much love from Germany
camera man, please give the person presenting a bit of space. It's hard to see the space she is describing if you are so close to her.
Thank you for the advice. This was one of our older videos, so we didn't what we were doing then, we are learning every day :)
If you had a dollar for everytime you said "ummm". Lol jK.
You are just adorable! Your apt is bright and cozy, and the plants are a nice touch! You are so lucky to have such a nice kitchen and balcony too.
Thank you so much! I truly feel very blessed!
Im sorry I keep commenting. A few ideas to help. Get a island/ table available at ikea it comes with drawers and place it in the actual kitchen space. The stools are stackable and fit under. This would free up so much room. Or if you don't want to do that at least turn the existing table flat against the wall. You would then have enough room to get a 2 cushion loveseat and coffee table set up to face the balcony you love but dont use. You can place the councel table directly behind the couch with the plants on top would look great from either side. The alcove used for your bedroom can be extremely romantic. Remove bookcases get a platform bed frame or just a standard 30 frame and have a real bed in the space with a tiny shelf on wall as a nightstand . Fill the wall with a mirror and art. Hanging plant. Separate the bookcases to make a wall into the space or doorway. Or a curtain could be hung as well and the bookcase be put on the wall where your art curently is. You can create under the bed storage for the shoe issue and 2 shower caddys for his and her toiletries. The bed down all day long made and looking pretty would be a nice place to read. Relax. I hate that you dont have that currently. A love seat as well just will add cozy feel you currently have no where to unwind i cant imagine that. It looks like office space not a home. Hope you see this and take some of my advice. Im studying interior design.
Thank you so much for your long comment. I took the time to envision the changes you suggested, and I think they are super creative! I like the Idea of the shelf with the two plants on top as kind of a room divider. I think the apartment might look a tiny bit bigger in the video than it is, so some of the suggestions wouldn't work, but i do love the ideas! I will keep it in mind for the next apartment :) I wish you all the best in your interior design studies.
I love your apartment it’s so cool, I love the styling of all of the white furniture and what you’ve done with the green plants is amazing! Thanks for sharing!
Thank you :) We really love our home :) it's small but cozy.
The idea of minimalism is that everything u own bring purpose and meaning to your life. And to her, all of it does. So yes... she is a minimalist
So true
I don’t think you should mention things if you’re not gonna show it, it’s a bit annoying
I think she was more concerned with the videography
Hey just an insight guys, those plants that are next to the mirror are specially for purifying the air and help for people with allergies, they are called "lengua de suegra"
Thank you so much for the information :) I love our plants, it's an added bonus that they clean the air :)
Lengua de suegra??? Qué extraño! Al oír la palabra suegra, se piensa inmediatamente en algo malo. Pero esa planta parece ser muy útil. Qué ironía! 😬
Seems like a beautiful and tidy nest you two have built. I enjoyed the peek. Thank you!
Thank you:)
Omg.. this is such a beautiful home! All white, clean and cosy. I just wish you could make more use of the beautiful sit out that could be an extended living room. If you want to have people over, you might want a sofa bed instead of the mattress. But again, if you don't then the place is just perfect! I can totally sit in there, read a book with a cup of tea on a lazy afternoon. You seem so nice & kind, God bless you ✨
Thank you so much for your sweet comment :)
Lovely space and I like the library :)
Thank you so much! I love the library as well!
@@CatchyCravings you're welcome :)
This is... kind of... a super millennial kind of thing, which I love.
:D glad you like it!
Take a shot every time you hear "uhmm"
You crushed the algorithm, good luck on your journey to success! 🍀✌️
:D Thank you so much!
Love this tiny house, the white furniture and white walls and Big windows. Lovely.
thank you!
So many great ideas! I love the way the white furniture opens the space up and allows the eye to travel to the beautiful plants and the special pieces of art. Also love your kitchen! Thank you for sharing great ideas and your home with us! Cheers! ❤️❤️
Thank you so much! I really love our home as well. And yes, that is exactly why I chose white furniture for this space :)
Clicked for a minimal apartment for inspiration on paring down. At least you guys got my ad money.
Lol
she is a minimalist
she has a minimalist living.Each person has a minimalist lifestyle that is suitable for their own life.Minimalism in words: removing complicated problems, bringing it back to simplicity, bringing joy to everyone, It's also a minimalistic way of life, She always smiles on her lips, because Her mind is not complicated, has removed the complicated jamming session, left only happiness in her soul, it is minimalistic.
Such a sweet message, thank you so much.
Condo builder should learn from this! Love that kitchen space
I love our kitchen as well! So big compared to the size of the rest of the apartment.
I really love your house! tbh i'm just about to move to my own space with 20m2 and so afraid it will get cramp ! your house is such an inspiration. thanks for sharing :)
thank you so much! I'm sure your home will be beautiful :) Just get rid of things that you don't need (any excess) and make sure everything in your home has a place where it belongs. I wish you all the best moving! lots of love from Germany :)
I would throw a pretty tapestry over the side of the bed that shows so it wouldn't look so much like a bed against the wall during daytime hours.
Great tip, thank you :)
That is a nice balcony.......when you open the doors that would actually make the appartment look bigger and is great for fresh air.
I love apartments like this! It feels cosy and homely!
yes! :)
Hmm how about a Murphy bed, replacing the book shelves with floating shelves and fold down table like Ikea Bjursta
This is one of the best apartment I have seen.. you are maintaining it neatly and utilizing the minimal spaces to accommodate basic needs. Balcony is amazing but I felt you can also try some foldable wall mounted table for iron the dresses some kind of similar stuff. I really loved the color of the apartment. Keep sharing your thought process and ignore negativity. Haters will always find some reason to show their jealousy of our ideas
Thank you! Happy you enjoyed it! I'm planning on filming a balcony makeover soon ;) Your comment made me smile :)
That ledge around the bathroom was neat.
Your books at the beginning of the video caught my eyes!!! im sure you definately will build an empire if you haven't yet
I'm working on it ;) You have a good eye that you saw that ;)
I love it. I wanted to do the same thing with my boyfriend where he knocks and I open the door but I think we were both too shy to do that in front of each other XD
Aww this comment made me smile😍in the beginning I was super shy infront of the camera with my boyfriend as well🙈 but with time and practice it gets easier! You can do it💪 I want to watch that video when you film it😘
I ended up filming the video just on my own while my boyfriend went to see his family. I think though I’ll get more and more comfortable as time goes by. Thanks for your kind words 😊
Yay! You go girl 💪 for my sit down more scripted videos I also wait for my boyfriend to be out😂 can't wait to see us get more comfortable and grow into this role 😊
Cute place! Thanks for sharing
thank you :)
Try watching from anywhere, she will say umm everytime 🤣 she says umm a looooooooot
I agree when people said its not minimalistic, but you're cute.
shidani chaniago yeah its not really minimalist but clean and organized ang House
you have a great space for living room opposite to your bedroom,,, you can invest in some small sofa and a bed frame for your bed, where you can store more things underneath..
Thank you :) A sofa bed is a great idea!
You know what's minimalist? Letting go of this strong urge to leave negative feedback.
😂
Yesss💯! ❤ your comment. I strive to have minimalism in negativity and maximalism in positivity! 🏅
No way would I be happy with a mattress leaning against the wall. How about a sofa bed? Other than that, nice apartment.
thanks :) we're quite happy with our mattress, but a sofa bed is a great idea :)
its called a murphy bed, its a way to save space :)
@@shffer3590 There needs to be an invention that is like a murphy bed but it is portable. So like a harness for the mattress that can be hung on the wall with hooks or something, rather than just leaning on the wall. I think I have seen something like that in some other video. It would also look better than just seeing the underside of the mattress.
@@nofurtherwest3474 you know what would the next anime level of the murphy bed? a lightweight mattress encased in an opening wall-like container that is easy to move around the space, of course with its attaching functions either to the floor or to the wall. we just need that light af material. and what you suggest do exist i believe. and murphy beds are designed to cover the framing part nowadays and its easy to request such a function if the user doesnt own a murphy bed without "a lid"
@@shffer3590 yes. it sounds like you have a good vision. you should build it!
So privileged to share your home. I’m sure you make it so welcoming for your boyfriend / happy days 😀
thank you! :)
Loved the tour... and especially loved the lack of jump-cuts ...and not saying 'like' every 3 words! ...As most youtubers do... very refreshing indeed! I've also slept on a mattress on the floor at various homes since the 90s... I just see it as Japanese... or something haha X
Thank you so much 😍! True, it is very japanese. We used to sleep on a futon, but sadly it wasn't fit for our humid climate and started getting a little mouldy, so we switched to the matress. Lot's of love from Germnay😊
It’s a cute place… well put together but instead of a huge book case, you need a Murphy bed with shelves attached to put some of your books as well as have a proper bed to sleep in. And maybe adding a few matching floating shelves on the bed area walls will ad more space for the rest of your books. That would double the functionality of your space. I love the space regardless but you deserve a bed sis! ✌🏾♥️
Wow Super Organized, hindi pa nga yan Minimalist eh but Minimalist na din somehow.. i love the interior. Refreshing and calm
Thank you !:)
I like your apartment! Suggestion: have you tried looking at platform beds? Since its more elevated, the bottom part can be used as storage + bookshelf
Thank you for the tips :)
Very cute apartment, loved the books...thank you for sharing
Thank you so much! Means a lot:)
You should get a bigger mirror, have carpets divide your space, and lastly invest in a sofa bed .
Perhaps a Murphy Bed. She can still have her mattress then get have comfy chairs 😊
I do love your enthusiasm
I love white setting and the plants especially Sansivieria Plants transformed the place amazingly homely.
A small suggestion that the shoe rack if can be covered and on top a plant can be put for more aesthetic entrance look. Overall you have arranged stuff very well.
Great suggestion! Thank you so much!
Homey. You just called her place ugly.
I love your homey apartment, and the way you decorate and utilize it.
aww thank you :)
I couldn’t finish the video due to all the “ums” and “kind ofs.” Not trying to be mean just telling the truth-people have told me I said wow too much and they were right...we all need some feedback and man. Too many “ums.”
Lovely apartment, u could build a wall bed that easily can be folded lifted up and down.
This is cute minimalist appartment. You don't have an average amount of things so in that sense you are minimalists. Whoever says differently should show their appartments and I bet they have much more stuff. You don't have to live like a monk or very poor person to be a minimalist! People are not informed about the concept.
I agree, that minimalism is not only about how much you have, but rather a mindset :) Thanks for your comment
Correct! This indeed is minimalist and is #homegoals :)
I suggest Murphy bed for your bedroom/living room. Other than that it’s very nice. Thank you!
I really like your appartement, you just need a murphy bed i think 💚
Thank you for the tip :)
Lovely lady, lovely apartment. Thank you for sharing! :)
So kind of you. I was happy to share :)
Great apartment, the kitchen/dining is just perfect. Love the terrace, sweet! IKEA makes several slim shoe cabinets that would fit nicely in your entry area, great way to conceal the shoe clutter. Also... have you considered a sofa bed? It would be a good solution; especially with built-in storage (affordably priced at Ikea). Nice place, good luck!
Thank you so much for your sweet comment and suggestions
Watched this end to end! Love it!
Yay Happy you like it😍
I like your balcony and your smiles. So beautiful.
thank you, you're so sweet :)
lovely! just a sugestion: put the library where the mirror is and store eveything in it. Then, get a murphy bed ans put where the bed was and wala!
great suggestion thank you :)
One more tip I think would be great is to have the shoe rack in the storage closet so the door way is more open and doesnt feel cluttered when u walk in .
Great tip, Thanks :)
this is not a minimalist apartment
I love how u arranged things in ur tiny place great job
thank you :)
I do live in a 15m2 apartment with my partner and what we did is to buy a loft bed. It’s from Ikea and it gives you a lot of space on the floor. We got a tiny living-room/dining-room down there and we got even a desk we both use... you could tried if you wish. I know how hard can be live in this kind of tiny apartments and I bet it’s going to be much more comfortable for you guys. Amazing apartment! ✨
Thank you! Such a good idea! Thanks for the tip :) I wish you both all the best :)
Catchy Cravings I am happy I gave you an idea to help ☺️ thanks! Same for you both ✨✨
It's grear appartament! But for me not bad sleep on a large sofa and leave only the top shelves👍🏻🌱 and balkony💖
Quality home design with personal touch! Well done! 👏
Love the kitchen, that black thing sticking up on the wall was very neat :) never seen that before
Thank you! We love the kitchen too! I guess that black thing is the back splash.
The one thing that will sure eat a lot of space for my future house (or a house this small would) will be my book shelf. I will be needing a whole wall just for it.
If books are more important than comfort why not consider a murphy bed?
Someone else had commented this as well :D To be honest, I had never thought of a murphy bed before. But it does look like a great option! Now that I already have mattress, I would just keep using it, but if for some reason I need a new bed, I'll definitely think about getting one ;) Thanks for the recommendation!
You have cuttest smile ....Love to see you smiling forever
that is so sweet of you! thank you!
Weird
You have a lot of open ikea furniture, i'd suggest you get the caps for the holes of the shelves, they will inhance the look and it's quite usefule if you plan to keep them open like that
yes, great tip :) I have thought about this :)
This is the first I see you and I was shocked when you said "trip to Oman" cause I'm from Oman.
Such an amazing video.
I'm also thinking of having a small minimalist apartment. To me living small but convenient is better than big and messy.
Thank you so much! I love Oman! Such a beautiful country! I want to go back soon :)
@@CatchyCravings And Oman loves you back, welcome at any time 💞
This is minimalist? You have more stuff than me. And there's like 500 books in that shelf.
Definitely I like your apartment, especially the kitchen and maybe you've done some changes in the meantime, maybe you've accepted one of the suggestions you've been given. An excellent work.
thank you so much! :)
You can put a Murphy bed where the book case is!
Lovely home....you arranged it so well.....God bless you and your tiny family
Thanks really inspiring!
Thank you :)
Very nice i love the balcony and the bookshelf. So light and airy love it.
I think it will not look bad if u put a full size bed. It will be ready to use anytime as for sleeping reading seating etc. It will be a sofa bed too.
U did yr best keep it........👍
Beautiful organized good idea
thank you :)
En mi humilde opinión, creo que están mal distribuidos los muebles. En la pared que tenes la biblioteca blanca llena de libros. Yo pondría ahí un sofá/cama a medida,arriba pondría 2 estantes flotantes. La biblioteca la pondría ,donde tenes ese mueble con la planta y el tarro de monedas. Si no entra,y si podes cambiaría los muebles
Thank you for your comment and your great tip :)
I tought the exact same thing
She is so pretty! Natural beauty indeed!😍
thank you so much :)
@@CatchyCravings your welcome 😊
Not hating but this is not minimalistic.
Clement Odenknirps 💯
I may consider this minimalist (except the bathroom ans kitchen) because I haven't seen any pillow or sleep materials, closet. I love you balcony.
I'm planning on filming a balcony makeover soon :)
rearranging some items can make an enormous transformation and really get more out of the small space...but you seem to love it as it...enjoy it
thank you! :) I I'm thankful I can feel cozy in my home
One recommendation for bedroom/library part. Can you just bring the bookcases to the front (put one perpendicular to the other to provide a passage) and put the bed behind the bookcase. This way your library will be closer to living part and you would have a special place to sleep...
Great idea! :)
What a charming video! It felt like a visit. Your home is lovely.
Thank you :)
Love your apartment!
thank you so much!
Not sure where you live, but there is a really cute shoe storage thing that closes up to be a slim, all white storage piece.. there are drawers that tilt out instead of slide out... possibly made by IKEA..? Because the shoes hang straight up and down the width of the storage piece is quite slim... cute apartment.. I would invest in a full time bed where the books are... you could hang shelves above the bed for most of those books... you’d also be able to store bins of books, etc under the bed..
I’m looking forward to moving into a studio apartment in 5 years or so..... but I will be living there alone... it’s nice to see that some studios still have balconies....
