Minimalist Studio Apartment Tour | ZERO WASTE

- Опубліковано 31 лип 2024
- Living in a small space such as a studio apartment can be challenging. It forces you to declutter your life and live simply. Today before my next move, I want to show you my little apartment that I managed to make home for the last year. Hope you enjoy the apartment tour!
***BED IS a Hemnes bed from IKEA

you were NOT joking by minimalist
haha It's funny how everything is based on perspective. I think I have a good amount of things. You think I'm very minimalistic, and I've had a bunch of comments on this video saying I have too much stuff to be a minimalist. It really makes you realize everyone views life a totally different way.
iron wolf theres actually different types of minimalism. Its not one size fits all, so it really does depends on personal preference, lifestyle and perspective. I can see that this isnt the type of minimalism where there are a few necessary items only, but the type of minimalism where she has everything she is using there and then and no clutter.
iron wolf she is a minimalist by her standards IDC IDC IDC IDC! and that's all that matter..there is no debate. If this isn't for you go watch someone else...
@iron wolf how is she not a minimalist? I don't understand.
Ironically that bookshelf that you find useless, is what keeps your most essentials, that would end up scattered around your apartment if you wouldn't have it. Never under estimate practicality!
It does hold my essentials, but I would just put them away in appropriate places if I didn't have it. But yes it was useful haha
The best minimalist apartment I've seen so far. You've won my vote lol.
i guess you liked this bc its not that minimalistic xd bc i am like a total minimalist but this is not for me
my dream is to own a kitchen with nothing on top of it haha lovely apartment!
It's a very calming way to cook. It takes discipline to put things away after using them but totally worth it!
I love how open and airy your apartment feels!
awesome Tour!
Thank you, Marie!
You’ve made a medium-size Studio apartment look like a large apartment by being so minimal...
love this video
Wow!!! Beautiful apartment. Im actually planning on downsizing so I can save more/and travel the world (my dream). Everyone around is doing the complete opposite and trying to upsize and upgrade...Glad to see more people taking control of thier own lives and living on what they REALLY need.
That's awesome! there is a whole world out there to see. The hardest part will be the people in your life. Don't let them discourage you in any way. Try to find supportive people or just live your life by example and maybe others will follow.
Thank You!!!
Danielle M. I'm doing the same. People actually think I'm crazy for wanting to get rid of so much stuff. 😐
Danielle M. It's all about what you want, man. Other people's goals are other people's goals. If upsizing is what they want because they truly want it - nothing wrong with that. But if you want to downsize or if you don't mind downsizing to help reach what you really care about - go ahead! Disregard what society says you _should_ want and _should_ strive for - you don't need that since you already know for yourself. :)
Not everyone is into travelling and staying at nasty hotels. Travelling can also be considered a waste of money to some people.
I could see myself living here. Very nicely done!
It's a very calm and homey space
Getting there. Mom and I put all of our furniture on consignment. Now we're purging our home for only what is functional and useful for everyday. I love your bed. Oh the ideas I got from watching your video. Thank you for sharing🤩🥳🍿🥰
Love your apartment!
Thank you! 💚
This is exactly the way I want to live, brilliant video!
It's a great way to live! Highly encourage it :)
i cannot get over how much natural light you have ! i love it
I know! It was the selling point for me
This is by far my favorite minimalist apartment tour. It truly is minimalist! And so beautiful. Looks amazing
Thank you! I definitely try to have few things, but I didn't realize how much stuff I had until I went to move. WOW, it took forever. My goal in the future is to have only a suitcase.
LOVE your presentations, Gir. Ilived in one room in an old brownstone in Brookline, MA when I was 17. Then moved to a studio on Commonwealth Ave. just around the corner from BU. So I love your small space living. My house is small, 1400 sq. ft. So on with the show m' lady.
I love this! I have slowly but surely been trying to get rid of things I don't need or that are taking up space.
Omg love your apartment! It's so simple and aesthetically pleasing
I was waiting for the storage room...but your storage is what a true minimalist would have. Lovely place 😁
I'm on my journey to zero waste!! So far, I've been doing a LOT of sewing. I've made muslin and mesh bags for buying bulk and produce, muslin coffee filters, cotton "unpaper" towels, flannel handkerchiefs, and have started shopping my farmer's market and bulk foods. I would REALLY love to see a video on worm composting! What I need, how to do it, where to put the container, what I can put in it, etc. Thanks so much for all of the wonderful content! I'm so excited to be part of the positive change 🌱👍🏼
That's awesome! I'm not great at sewing. I asked my mom to make me most of my bags. I no longer compost with worms, but I will shoot a video on composting options with pros and cons. I can also give tips and suggestions
That would be wonderful!! Thank you so much! :)
Your bed is sooooooo frickin' cool! :D IKEA really knocked it out of the park with that one and it's so great for a small space. I'm surprised I haven't seen more of this bed or beds like it in the tiny house movement.
Yes! It's a great space saver
I found the bed idea perfect.. Okay, so my Sister will move out soon and she will go to a studio apartment.. And i am looking at videos. And when i saw your bed i was like, no my Sister wants a big bed and that is small, but then when you said it opens up to a King i was like.. Thats so smart.. And the fact that it also has drawers is so good. ♥️
I like minimalism. Clean, clear, light and airy spaces. Having only what you need. Wonderful!
Thank you! I was a great space
(I just saw this video, thanks YT for the suggestion, lol) While I've never been much on "stuff", I lost everything I owned in 2007 to an EF5 tornado. One thing I tell people - those things I was keeping for "sentimental" reasons? ALL those memories I still have... they were in my head and my heart, not in the programs, and ticket stubs, and not even in the photos. I love how calm your apartment is.... too much stuff and too much color makes me feel sort of "wired", and I like my home to be calm and soothing.
OMG i freakin love this.. it 'feels' so good with a minimalist environment..
best get decluttering!!!
It is a very calming environment. Good luck decluttering!
I love the Devil's Ivy plant on the stool. Life also gets a lot cheaper when you DIY with cleaning supplies, deodorants & toothpaste. I've saved so much money by switching to Baking Soda, Vinegar, Peroxide & Essential Oils for cleaning. I love the storage under your bed! Loved the video, very inspiring!
Yes! vinegar is so cheap compared to traditional products. This lifestyle has saved me a lot of money.
love the natural light and your magic bed.
very real (not following the trends concerning interior design that seem to follow some kind of fast fashion movement) and simple and light and clean. beautiful!
loved your tour. your home seems very peaceful 😊
loved it! can't wait to see the new apartment. and I definitely want to learn more about living in a small space and minimalism
Yes! I'm excited to show you guys. It's a much bigger space, and I have more stuff because I have roommates but I'm working to make it my home
Love the wall map, I'm always meaning to make one of these!!
+Keen Runner it was super easy to make! I just found a print and mounted it on to cork and glued the wood sticks to it
Your bed is soo cool! And I love the plants, which bring a little bit of colour in your apartment.
I know! I love it. It took me forever to find something I liked. I wanted to have a lot of space in my apartment but I also a large bed because #adulting It was in the kids section of ikea.
A razor being so close to a toothbrush is going to keep me up at night
hahah
OMG!!! I love your vanity area! SOOOO CUUUUUTE! Pretty spiffy!
Room goals
+Woojong 🙌🏼
Oh i love your curtain! I know it's just plain white but it made all the difference. And the ivy plant! I gotta copy that!
Thank you 💚 It does make the difference
Yes I loved it. Pls post more small space arrangements.
Very cute. I love to see people doing a nice job with simple things, it´s affordable and inspirational. Sometimes we see so much videos showing only expensive things, unrealistic lifestyles that makes people feels the need to shop more, to be more luxurious and it kind of makes them unhappy, so for me it is very important to show more alternatives, this lifestyle looks so healthy and a happier way to live. I just started to see videos about minimalist and it is so interesting. Thanks for sharing :D
Thank you, Orlando! Yes, when you watch people with consumeristic habits it creates vicious wants.
Lovely apartment!! So many ideas with this ❤️
Love that music! What is the name of it?
I don't live in a studio apartment anymore, but this kind of thing is fascinating for me!
you are really cute! lol! i am inspired...i lived in a studio before...trying to figure out if i want another one...thanks for the inspiration :)
I personally loved it! I just moved into a 2 bedroom and so far I feel like I spend at least an hour a day cleaning whereas my last place took 15 minutes
I love your minimalist place :) I saw many minimalist video on youtube, they just have to many stuff. This is a good amount of stuff that I need
Thanks 💚
I’m very interested in your videos so please make more. Truly a fan ❤️
So cool that you journal
I love how beautiful your place is! Keep up the videos.
Thank you!
I love your minimalist apartment!!
Thank you!
Thanks for the tour I love the simple Ness decor
Thank you for watching!
i loove that sofa-bed...really cool
I'm thinking about moving into a studio next year so this was cool. However I do have a ton of books so hopefully wherever I move has storage for that. I'm trying to minimize other things now though.
This was so soothing and inspiring! Loved it!!
Thanks Nise! I'm glad to hear it inspired you :)
this aesthetic is my everything
Aesthetic is life 💚 haha
hey there Lonan haha (: and same
First video I've watched of yours and love it.
Thanks for watching 💚
Love this please do more. Been following you on Instagram for ages and only just found your youtube channel but so happy I did.
Thanks girl! I only recently started making them! i'm hooked haha
+The Girl Gone Green yay that means more videos! Im hooked too. I thought I would make one or two just to see what it was like but its so much fun I don't think I will be able to stop anytime soon :) x
Fun fact: Devil's Ivy is also known as Golden Pothos; they're amazing plants. They can grow in really low lights, but if you put them in well lit areas the leaves get yellow/white streaks! Super pretty plant.
OMG walking into paradise! no seriously i wish i was this consistent i really like the empty white space. Its exactly what i want cause i have ADhD and stuff is just distraction.
Great 👍🏻 video,
Neat bed, I lov the way you have your bulk foods.
Love how those mason jars look - I need to do that! 😊
I know I love how clean and label free it is
Love the mason jars
I like your apartment it looks like its never messy. Thats what I really want.
+Tristian Green it's super easy to clean and everything has its place!
that was more minimal than other ones on youtube thanks for sharing and making the world greener=]
Thank you for watching! I'd love to take it a step further and one day only have a suitcase of things, but for now I'll accept my ikea furniture haha
Wow! You are amazing. You should also do a video on your travels!
You're too sweet! I will try! I used to be really good at documenting travels and now I find that I hardly take pictures. But i'll attempt next time :)
(I'm just spontaneously sharing my personal preference in mininalism, just because. I'm sorry if it doesn't fit the video. :D)
I'm not really a minimalist, I'm just average. I've always lived somewhere where stuff was already there. But innerly I'm something in between... I really want to have my own place before I marry someone, just once, just for like two years or something, and make it my own from start to finish!
I'm only minimalist to an extend, so my home would be mininalist in certain aspects and only to an extend. Not for the sake of minimalism itself, but:
*1. I want to be mindful of what I own.*
I want to not need to reorganize things each year or so, let alone declutter - that to me means too many stuff. I don't want repetitiveness or things that just stay there and _never_ get used, but also _never_ get looked at for joy or sentiment. I want everything to be *either a necessity or something extremely meaningful* /cool. And I want to always have a *mental overview* of all that I own.
*2. I want to move in and out easily.*
*3. I want cleaning to be less demanding.* :D
*4. I want space and sunlight!*
*5. Simplicity calms me* and to a certain extend it feels *cozy* and feels *clean.*
*6.* I want to have *a decorated home, but not in a volumpturous kind of way.* :D I'm more into *flat things.* :D Paintings, pictures or simply different colors on the furniture, but not anything too strong. I want flowiness.
(For example lights on the corners between the walls and the cealing or a pattern/shape of lights on one wall is something that doesn't take much space, but it doesn't serve a purpose other than "I like it" either.)
*7. I want to be organized.* The less stuff you have and the more easily they fit into categories - the easier it is to organize. And not just organize, but actually remember everything about how you've organized and what you own.
*8. I want to change things up easily.* Move the couch, the pictures on the wall and the lights and VOILA, an impactful change, a different kind of cozy, and achieved super easily because there isn't anything to get in your way.
That's how I view it! Anyone else with similar preference? You feel minimalist, but only in certain ways?
LOVE IT! The natural light and plants are beautiful :) :)
Thank you! Yes, i'm obsessed with plants. If I wasn't worried about killing them. I'd probably have an jungle-like apartment
The Girl Gone Green Exactly, I have the same fears :) :) Thanks for your reply!
I absolutely love your apartment! ❤
Thank you 💚 I've enjoyed living in it
you are GOALS. Thank you! I was getting annoyed with all of the (not) minimalist apartment tours.
💚💚💚 Thanks
You have a lovely apartment. I aspire to live simply, with zero waste. I subscribed to your channel and look forward to following you, and picking up more tips.
+Deborah Hassaan thank you! I look forward to making more content!
Wow, this is the most beautiful minimalist apartment I've ever seen! so inspiring.
and this is the biggest "little" kitchen in the world :D btw I love your dress :O
Thank you 💚💚
I have the exact same DE razor - Merkur 20something long handle. Very nice.
Yes! It works wonders for me
Thanks for your video . It makes me feel comfortable ！
Such a beautiful place!
Thank you!
I love that! can you tell more about how your apartment looked before you went minimalist?
I didn't live in this particular place before minimalism, but I've always had a lot of knick knacks
wow I just found your channel and I love it! I look forward to seeing your other videos. Could you do a video on your traveling experiences? Also where is your mirror from?
Yes! I'll add that to my list! Thanks for the suggestion💚 I got it from a friend but most of his furniture was from ikea so that would be my best guess.
Wow! Subscribed because of this video!
I’m not even a minimalist (yet) but I love this 😍
Glad you liked it 💚
That's minimalist!
Please tell me the name of that background music
The vanity is such a cute idea! Your space is wonderful and I love your bed. I hope you do a tour of your new place=)
I loved having a space to get ready! I plan on doing a new tour! It's a very large space, and between my roommate and I we have a lot more "stuff" but we are making it feel like home ever so slowly.
That's lovely, I will be checking out the rest of your channel and subscribing=)
lovely space!
Soooo beautiful !!! 💖
Now THAT'S a minimalist apartment!
You do have a nice apartment:)
I'm finally getting a studio apartment for mysellf and will be moving in within the next couple of months.
Any tips/advice for organizing and maintaining a small living space? :)
Loved your apartment!
Thank you so much!
Lovely apartment. Thank you!
+candygirl thank you! It's been a great home to me
baking soda and coconut oil can make a toothpaste? i must try this! thanks for the recipe.
Your personality's so calming wahhhh
Thank you! Sometimes I'm super hyper other times I'm totally relaxed even under stress. It's a strange combination haha
love your cute little apartment.
My dream apartment!
Your apartment #goals!
thank you for sharing. I just subscribed to your channel a couple days ago. I was watching the minimalist ninja and noticed you made a comment I love her Channel also. I currently live in a 280 square foot area and I am making changes to minimize my life. I didn't realize how much stuff I had until I moved in here. I have stuff in the garage about 25 boxes in storage and several in my living space yikes.
SAME! I just moved from this apartment and omg I have so much stuff. Hopefully one day, I'll have just a suitcase of stuff, but for now, I'll haul my stuff around to each apartment. Thank you for subscribing 💚
It is a good minimalist apartment, I really like it I want it that way, interesting the video if it was worth seeing
Awesome ! My boyfriend and I are moving in a new apartment, and we're going to try our best to make a fresh clean new start !
Yes! Good luck on the move 💚
Do you have a link to where you found your bed? I have been trying to find that exact bed that pulls into a king or queen. All I can find are twin and full.
Forever Wild it looks just like the daybed I bought from Ikea.
lovely and inspiring !
Great video and nice bright room :) you have so few stuff
Thank you!! 😊
There are some really cool world maps that you can scratch off the places you've been. If you get tired of stick pins.
I've seen those! They look pretty cool
Love how bright and plain that kitchen is! Will you be moving to another studio apartment. I live in a 336 sq ft apartment with my boyfriend and two cats, honestly I can so without the whole hallway lol so I know the feeling of not being able to find a small enough place! oh and I think that"s a pothos plant, I had two that I killed ( you really have to be something to kill that plant)
No, i'll be moving to 1000+ sq ft apartment 😂 . I moved in with a really good friend and that's what we found in the area I wanted. It's so empty so far, but getting filled up quickly which stresses me out haha. This chapter, I guess, is a whole new adventure in finding a balance and reaching compromises.
I've had one of those plants since I was a little kid. How did you kill it ?! I never even water it haha
O my that's embarrassing, when we moved it died shortly. That's lovely, you will be making videos on that as well and I'm very much looking forward to that. I know if my partner and I ever moved it will be a bigger place, two people aren't allowed to live in a studio anyway in my state so I know we'd have to get a one bedroom :C
Minimalist Vegan Lifestyle wow. What state do you live in? In Los Angeles illegal immigrant families live four, five, six to a studio apartment.
I fall in Love with your chair
Wow. I loved it
thanks 😊
I loved it!
Thank you!
That is amazing place, I wish in the U.K we have something similar and it's just $400 wow
Great video!! I would like more minimalism videos!
Okay! I'll film some soon! thanks for the request 💚
