Micro Studio Balcony Tour I My little 80 cm x 200 cm baby balcony/ urban sanctuary in Sydney
How I transformed my little 2.6 x 6.5 ft narrow inner city balcony, into my own private little oasis - despite being on the busiest road in all of Sydney, AND being looked into by both my neighbours!
By just using a few cheap pieces from the hardware store & IKEA.
For those with a green thumb - trigger warning: I managed to kill most of my plants because I'm a terrible gardener!
So if you're looking to do balcony makeover in your tiny apartment, I hope you find some useful tips & tricks.
Thanks for watching!

I created an Instagram account (This Tiny Space) to share my 18-month journey, living in tiny rented Micro Studio in Sydney, Australia (link below) so I could share my interiors/ renter friendly / space saving & organisational tips and tricks along the way, with fellow tiny space dwellers & renters.
Since then, I have decided to try cobble those clips & posts together, in the hope some folks who are in the same tiny living / renter boat, might find them useful.
I apologies in advance for the poor picture quality and terrible self-taught basic editing.
I aim to get better!
Hope you enjoy & thanks for stopping by!

My studio kitchenette only has two upper cupboards (and one under the sink) which means rethinking "pantry storage" AND the amount of dish-ware that is *actually* required (spoiler alert: it's less) On top of the limited space, the cupboards were also pretty high which made accessing the full depth tricky.

I'm going to lift the taboo & share a legit problem when living in a tiny micro studio...Where does your underwear go in a tiny apartment??? I see lots of videos on Instagram of tiny spaces / houses, where the owners seem to own 6 pieces of perfectly colour coded curated clothing. To me, that's just not reality. And it drives me crazy.

How to add extra counter space to a tiny kitchen I DIY Pop out counter top for extra bench space
Переглядів 7 тис.Рік тому
The kitchen in my 12sqm Micro Studio was just 100cm wide (including the sink) which meant only 60cm of usable bench top space for appliances / cooking / food prep etc. I desperately needed more counter space (without covering the sink), so I came up with this simple IKEA hack, which took my tiny kitchenette from maddening, to manageable!

      There's more popping up but I think they're very over priced for what they offer personally.

Or just affordable housing for solos in general!

      @thistinyspace 11 місяців тому

      Oh thank you so much!!! I moved out a while ago due to having a crazy neighbour, so I can't take measurements, but bathroom was tiny, (obvs!) The shower was about 90cm x 90cm which was actually standard size - it was to the right of the loo, but the sink was a joke! Barely the width of my hand! So the width of the bathroom was about 90cm & I'm guessing about 200cm long?? Personally I'd have designed it as a wet room to allow for a normal sized sink!! Hope that helps!!

    Good use of space with the Ikea closets, and the pull-out shelf above the fridge. The only thing I'd probably add is color. I would paint to both section-off "rooms," and to create a mood.

    • @thistinyspace
      @thistinyspace Рік тому

      Thank you! It was a LOT of trial and error trying to maximize the storage! I actually started out with loads of colour because that's my personal style but the space was so incredibly small that it just didn't work, it make the room feel messy and smaller so I had to work with a pallet that matched the black wall of the balcony which was the main focal point (which you don't see in the video) and it made it flow much better, I couldn't wait to get back to colour when I moved out 18 months later to a "normal' sized apartment!! 😂

      I had it for a year before I moved out & never had any issues. I used heavy duty runners so found it very sturdy but obviously it's not meant for very heavy weight (ie you wouldn't sit on it!) But for cooking equipment & dishes & food prep it was perfect. If it's fitted correctly it stays in place

    It's wonderful you have that outdoor space; it may be small, but it's a huge feature! the mirror was an excellent addition. I have a studio that I've been renovating for the past year or so (I work 70+ hours a week, so haven't really been able to dive into it). It's the master suite of the neighboring apartment converted into an individual unit ~15 years ago or so. I erected a wall and created a kitchenet, but still need to finish the final touches on everything. I'm on the 1st floor and have "patio" space that I've neglected. Once I get everything completed I'll make a video. I'd love to hear your feedback!

You can get them everywhere online now. That's very kind of you to say!

I think they're all pretty similar so regardless what brand you buy, I think it should be helpful. The measuring is the tricky bit & it helps if you have an extra pair of hands (I didn't so you can still totally do it by Yourself) best of luck!!! Hope it goes well!
