Love that this small home is very different than most featured on this channel with the high ceilings, beautiful wood floors, moldings, and rich colors. It feels very rich and homey. The space looks much bigger than 495 sq. ft.!
@@vmoses1979 What's the point of having a big bedroom? It's a room to sleep in. Having bigger living spaces opens up for having more guests over, having more room to breathe.
Absolutely right, and they have never had a pile of pots and dishes to wash. As for the drying rack, imagine water dripping on your arms as you are doing dishes.
@@KittynFranky7643in Italy there's a drying rack like that in every kitchen, hidden in a cabinet above the sink. Nothings dribbling down as there's something that holds the water underneath the rack. Usually it's even 2 racks on top of each other and really practical
I think there is a perception darker colours will make the rooms smaller so I love seeing designers showing how well bold colours in small spaces can look. The design respects the buildings heritage whilst also being modern, and they have dealt well with the challenge of designing good layouts in rooms that have a lots of angles in them. 10/10 from me!
As someone who grew up in a very colourful house, I would say people are right. The house always felt small and dark to me. I think colourful rooms work only if there are many and very big windows. With my own place, I opted for white with accent walls and colourful decorations. It works just as well!
I do think a lot of people defer to minimalism in the colour chosen when designing for smaller spaces and I'm glad to see it work with bold colours. I like this space a lot!
@@Victoria-oo3iy Perhaps, though since one can't tell just how big and how many windows you need to avoid feeling claustrophobic, I think the colours are also an issue. It's a bit of a gamble to go for them. Plus, you can get sick of them, they can impact your mood... It's a lot better with accent walls. The colours are less aggressive and overwhelming, but you still escape the monotone white/beige/grey walls.
So beautiful and so IMPRACTICAL! Where one stores clothes, vacuum cleaner, ironing board or the winter/summer shoes? I always admired this channel for practical and beautiful solutions for small spaces. Bus this video is like a beautiful jewelry that you wear once…
I have to agree - in the entrance there's a small closet. But no shoe storage. The bedroom only has drawers below the bed - not ideal to use daily. I'm doubtful that you'll have enough place in the bathroom closet for cleaning supplies, broom or vacuum cleaner. Not to mention almost no concealed storage in the living room - for hobbies. All that can be solved - a bit more storage in the entrance and living room, having a combined washer/dryer... As it is - this flat is sadly only usable for a very minimalist single person. I love the colors and ligtness - but it also has to be functional.
Yes! Drying rack for 3 cups, desk with light directly shaining in your monitor, refrigarator for 3 bottles, no place for clothes and big water puddle in the bathroom after the shower! Yeah and It's clearly airbnb...
Yeah, if it was my place I would definitely need more storage than that. A LOT more hanging storage. However the way they used the footprint is spare enough that one could probably add in some understated storage furniture if needed, without making the flat feel too cluttered. (I would also need a bigger drying rack!) I agree that it seems designed for short stays rather than longterm living.
It seems huge! It seamlessly blends all those classical fixtures, modern color schemes, minimalistic functionality, and vintage coziness while keeping it open, elegant and airy!
Finally, a beautiful and cozy space (without an enormous TV and without the morbid charm of a white morgue). Wonderful colors and a balcony. As no walls had to be changed, it is also more affordable. Relaxed, easy living, that's it.
I really like the colors of this apartment. The layout and design was really nice too, definitely feel the coziness of this space. And that choice of ceiling wallpaper for the bedroom was an incredible match with the cornice! Definitely my favorite apartment featured on this channel so far.
I love the textiles, colours and fabrics. The overall look is beautiful. The kitchen is spacious, and the use of dark colours just works for me. I do have a few quibbles though - the kitchen doesn’t have enough storage space, the sink’s separation from the counter would make doing dishes complicated, and there’s little to no storage space for clothing. I wouldn’t be surprised if this apartment is just a pied-à-terre.
What a beautiful, open, restful space. I love the preservation of original details, and I see why the designer describes her style as gentle. I also really appreciate that she shared the names of the paint colors-- the color choices in this space are magnificent.
As a fan of colours and the not-so minimalistic style, I ADORE this flat so much! The colours, the layout, the personality, the delicate and classical features, the simplicity yet elegance. The flat looks so massive, homey and cosy and has everything you may need for living, it is everything!
I like the colours as well because most of the interiors of some of these homes look like the inside of a fridge. Some white is ok but somes it is total overkill in some homes.
This is beautiful, I love the combination of colours and materials. I'd love to live in such a well-designed flat. But I am always stunned that there are people out there who live minimalistic and dont't seem to cook or don't need storage and space for lots of books, their hobbys, sports gear, plants and so on - like I do. 🤣
Nice apartment, and it does look quite large. Though it lacks storage, storage for the kitchen as well as for the bedroom. The kitchen is compact but likely not functional for consistent cooking. True there is a floor to ceiling wardrobe in the entry area as well as under the bed, but it is really limited. Unless the apartment is just for one person who does not cook so often. Also I did not see any proper bookshelves in the living room. It's quite bare and minimal. Likely the style that fit the owner preferences.
I love the lack of too many cupboards full of junk and the minimal amount of stuff on open shelves, etc. This type of area fits my minimalist brain. I can see how it wouldn't work for some. The kitchen would be perfect for me.
its weird that the kitchen is so big (by that apartment's standards) but has a really small empty fridge and no freezer. Either the owner buys their food fresh every single day or they just eat at work and never actually use the kitchen.

this is exactly what I was thinking. Defeats the whole purpose of this channel in my opinion and makes me so mad considering the lack of affordable housing in Berlin (and other cities), airbnb and short term rentals being one of the reasons for it
@@thelazysushi of course, Im not saying you can't live there. However, considering other videos on the channel it lacks sufficient storage space, the kitchen seems tiny and the fridge size???? I mean sure, you can fit somenone there yet will it that make it a good tiny space? I don't know. That's a different conversation.
I really love the colours in this apartment. They seem very restful. The architectural features also enhance the apartment. It is bright cheerful and cosy all at the same time day or night.
I LOVE the use if colour here. So many spaces on NTS stick to white to create light. This space is so luxurious and rich because of the well chosen colors .
Lovely colors and feel to the space. I like the use of draperies to warm up a space. Agree with the other comments that it appears to lack storage unless there’s some that wasn’t highlighted.
Truly beautiful. I personally would need more storage but that's just me and could be fixed easily. Love the way they used bold colors and the painted furniture. Also lovely how they kept the feel of the area alive
The color palette is mesmerising. The flat looks cozy and very chique at the same time. One of my favourite on this channel and I've been following for a long time now :)
I like so much that the architect respected the architectural elements of the original. The minimalist approach lets those elements shine without dominating. My only concern is a lack of storage -- is there no closet or wardrobe in the bedroom?
Yeah. The wardrobe would be the single feature I would want to add as well. Berlin apartments almost always come with storage space in the basement for the items you only need a few times a year. But for shirts I would definitely want a little bit of hanger space.
They took it from the housing market by turning it into another usesless Air bnb . The fridge is a dead giveaway. Proud architect, fueling the housing crisis here.
I love this version of minimalism! There is still colour and each room feels different, but it is very simple and there is nothing extra - only the essentials.
The thing that’s nice about this space is that it’s very “normal“. Nothing is striving to be hyper-functional, the couch is a couch you would see in a larger home, nothing is over designed like you sometimes see in small spaces.
Lovely to finally see a classic European/vintage decor on this series! It is gorgeous. Congrats to the designer. However, from my European perspective, I think the appartment has a perfectly fine size. 😅.
Give the colour consultant a raise, they made an outstanding job. The wallpaper on the ceiling is really a smart idea. I just have mixed feelings about the kitchen sink about its functionality.
You can see the experience and brilliance of the designer shining through this flat. Sure the use of colours were highlights but i personally could not escape the small design details that were so well placed and considered. I loved how well-integrated the drying rack was in the floating shelf and the intentional placing of the lights to fuction as accent and provide adequate illumination. I took notes for my own renovation.
Absolutely stunning. The colors work well because of the abundance of lighting and the light fixtures and complemented by furniture that are modern, unique and has its own flair.
The flat used to have a gorgeous large bedroom with a balcony, generous sized open living-dining room and a separate kitchen. Now it has a cupboard size bedroom with no storage, a giant hall with cooking equipment in it and a quirky living room separated from the rest of the flat... Very odd spacial planning... The new "kitchen" is only good for reheating shop bought meals, hence the entire space is wasted.
I agree. They ruined a lovely apartment. I say also, what kitchen? A bench with a sink (but as long as it's designer, that's ok.), no storage for food. Obviously no one eats there.
I love the use of colour and the incorporation of the original architectural details. The kitchen does not seem so practical to me but I guess not everyone really cooks.
I love the design of this apartment but would need more kitchen storage. I would add enclosed cabinets above the kitchen work space to the ceiling. If painted the same color as the walls it would blend in nicely. It’s a beautiful apartment.
Respectfully, an architect is so not a designer(!). Love this, but not including the garish hall colour. To me, another one of the caveats is the distance between the built in dish dry mat and the actual sink. I do like the turquoise-gray in the main room which has quite a nice compact design. Some of the rooms felt a bit blank compared to the others. I do quite like the stunning wallpaper + moulding on the one room’s ceiling. Will try watching this again. Thanks.
@@potr6461 Sounds like someone needs to Google some stuff. Ask yourself why registered professional associations insist on interior design qualifications and not architecture qualifications?
Absolutely love the bold color choices that bring depth, relaxed elegance and character to this lovely space. The colors in the bedroom - including the linens, walls and curtains were gorgeous!
To everyone mentioning the small fridge: This is a common size in Europe and I can tell you from my own experience that it works perfectly well. You just can't shop enormous amounts, instead do grocery shopping more than once a week.
exactly. and Bergmannstraße is literally just 2 blocks away, including a supermarket and a market. It is very normal to swing by the supermarket every 2-3 days before coming home from work or running other errands.
well, I lived in an apartment with a small fridge and it is not practical when you like to cook and freeze for the whole week. So as always, it depends on the owner's preferences.
It's a beautiful apartment. I'm not always a huge fan of bold or dark wall colours (although they are growing on me) since lighter paint colours make apartments seem much more open, airy, and spacious, but luckily, the floors are a beautiful light wood tone and the ceilings, window frames, door frames, and doors are white, so they offset the potential heaviness of those darker colours. Plus, those dark colours do add a certain sense of history and luxury to the space. Bravo! :)
I enjoyed this episode. There were no design studies and nothing over the top and at the same time I feel inspired. Interesting to see well applied color drenching and how they hid the kitchen in plain sight. I also liked the blue color in the bedroom, the black kitchen sink and the handles in the bathroom.
I love this example of a more traditional minimalism. Personally I would clutter it up a bit but that's just me. I adore the black kitchen ad that wonderfull sink!
Until now, I've found every NTS episode worthwhile. I'm going to tell myself this designer's clients were a pair of colorblind Labradors who told her "Anything goes!" 😂
That kitchen is so elegantly designed it doesn't look like one! It looks more like a lounge/reception area and one would easily be able to relax in that space without feeling like one is in the kitchen. I imagine if the living room needed to be converted to another bedroom, the kitchen/dining space would function pretty well as a kitchen/dining/living space too, albeit a little small. 😍
The apartment itself is beautiful and the colours that the designer chose were striking. There’s just not enough storage. A single person could somewhat manage but even then it’s a stretch. Where does one put the broom and the mop?
Amazing design! Colours, style and personality! Just a bit more storage and will be perfect. Just the bathroom doesn’t look like homogeneous with the house. Still one of the best so far!
For me to live here I'd need a bigger fridge, a door to the bedroom, black-out curtains in the bedroom nook, a proper size closet for my clothes, a proper bookshelf and a different design of bathroom tiles; and plants. But for a temporary place, which I think it might be, (like air b&b) it is quite ok.
Not everyone is obsessed with closets and clutter. One could add furniture for your clothes. A bigger fridge would be overkill for a small apartment for one person. I like its low key not over designed ambiance and lack of godawful scatter cushions and other over used ‘home furnishings’ which serve no functional purpose.
One of my favorites from this channel. I really appreciate the "gentle" approach that the designer describes, and how respectful the update feels towards the heritage of the building while still feeling fresh, clean, and beautiful. 10/10!
@@sidedoor38 oh, yes! Tables that go from a square to a long long rectangle with those camera changes ... You can only trust the 60 cm for the countertop, that being standard
Really nice and comfy colors. The flat really seems way larger than its blueprint suggests. The cablemanagement for some of the lamps could be nicer though😁 but wall plugs are always limited in historical buildings. Thanks for sharing it with us!
A good solution for a minimalist design while retaining an old world feel that the the client clearly favours. For me, I would prefer another solution for the kitchen food preparation with an exhausted/filtered system above the cooking range. 🖤
The color/tone choices - especially for the entryway, central dining , and living rooms - are very beautiful, sophisticated, serene. There are elements in the bedroom , as well as the bath, that carry that seem theme, and are clever . For the subtlest reasons, however, I found the bedroom wanting, chilly, and wished for a little more "embrace," softness, gravity, luxury. Perhaps it was the color chosen for that space, or the white, more generic-looking platform that held the bed? Not sure. All and all, the physical apartment has handsome bones , and the design choices within - wonderful and informed.
I agree. I liked the use of color overall in this apartment, but the colder blue used in the bedroom clashed with the beautiful, warm blue used in the adjacent kitchen. I think the bedroom definitely could use a more complementary color. Also, while the wallpaper on the ceiling is clever and kind of fun with the old molding, I don't think looking up at the ceiling last thing before bed, and first thing in the morning would be ideal for me in terms of calming and destressing my mind.
Love that this small home is very different than most featured on this channel with the high ceilings, beautiful wood floors, moldings, and rich colors. It feels very rich and homey. The space looks much bigger than 495 sq. ft.!

Very lovely, but where does one store clothes? It seems designed for short stay accommodation.
Yeh. Which makes me mad considering the lack of housing in Berlin :(
Under the bed there was a lot of storage... and there was the closet in the foyer for anything that needed to hang.
Some proper closet would have fitted next to the bed actually.
Yeah, if it was my place I would definitely need more storage than that. A LOT more hanging storage. However the way they used the footprint is spare enough that one could probably add in some understated storage furniture if needed, without making the flat feel too cluttered.

It seems huge! It seamlessly blends all those classical fixtures, modern color schemes, minimalistic functionality, and vintage coziness while keeping it open, elegant and airy!
Generous ceiling heights will do that to a small space.
So important.
Yet rarely featured in listings and impossible to make out from plans.
And yet the wardrobe is in the hallway...... seems to be they've picked style over functionality. I've seen more storage in a tiny home!
I love the fact that this isn't "just another minimalist white box". I love the use of bold colours and clever storage it's great ❤
Finally, a beautiful and cozy space (without an enormous TV and without the morbid charm of a white morgue). Wonderful colors and a balcony. As no walls had to be changed, it is also more affordable. Relaxed, easy living, that's it.
Rest assured, Kreuzberg is not affordable.
Changing walls would have definetely not made a big hole in this persons budget
It also makes a change to have seperate rooms as well because in most of these homes they knock interior walls down making everything open plan.
I really like the colors of this apartment. The layout and design was really nice too, definitely feel the coziness of this space. And that choice of ceiling wallpaper for the bedroom was an incredible match with the cornice! Definitely my favorite apartment featured on this channel so far.

I'm not always a huge fan of bold or dark wall colours (although they are growing on me) since lighter paint colours make apartments seem much more open, airy, and spacious, but luckily, the floors are a beautiful light wood tone and the ceilings, window frames, door frames, and doors are white, so they offset the potential heaviness of those darker colours.
Plus, those dark colours do add a certain sense of history and luxury to the space.
Bravo! :)
I adore the living space, it looks so comfy, roomy and full of light. What a delightful space!
Classic, and traditional . Simple, elegant and beautiful.
Classic and traditional for sure...
My goodness this apartment is gorgeous. Wonderful work, bravo!
Best layout for a 46sq metres I have seen
I enjoyed this episode. There were no design studies and nothing over the top and at the same time I feel inspired. Interesting to see well applied color drenching and how they hid the kitchen in plain sight. I also liked the blue color in the bedroom, the black kitchen sink and the handles in the bathroom.
The colours in this apartment are just beautiful. What a soothing space
I love this example of a more traditional minimalism. Personally I would clutter it up a bit but that's just me. I adore the black kitchen ad that wonderfull sink!
YES YES YES. I love places with richer textures and heritage designs. After a while all the modern designs can look similar.
Colors! FINALLY SOME COLORS! I love it!
Until now, I've found every NTS episode worthwhile. I'm going to tell myself this designer's clients were a pair of colorblind Labradors who told her "Anything goes!" 😂
That kitchen is so elegantly designed it doesn't look like one! It looks more like a lounge/reception area and one would easily be able to relax in that space without feeling like one is in the kitchen. I imagine if the living room needed to be converted to another bedroom, the kitchen/dining space would function pretty well as a kitchen/dining/living space too, albeit a little small. 😍
a kitchen not for cooking just for looking. where is the exhaust? all the steam and fat stays in the flat, yuck
One of the best you've featured on this channel. Amazing use of colour!
Ах, какой человек! Спасибо большое, Дмитрий, меня Ваш рассказ и настрой очень-очень вдохновил!
Beautiful! For a small space it appears to be spacious. Well done.
The apartment itself is beautiful and the colours that the designer chose were striking. There’s just not enough storage. A single person could somewhat manage but even then it’s a stretch. Where does one put the broom and the mop?
Feels so much bigger than 495 sqft. Really classy decor, big thumbs up from me!
Amazing design! Colours, style and personality! Just a bit more storage and will be perfect. Just the bathroom doesn’t look like homogeneous with the house. Still one of the best so far!
I love the idea of painting a furniture the same color as the wall 😀👏🏻 where are the PLANTS???? I can’t imagine living in a place without them
I love this apartment. Beautiful!
Such a stunnig dark blue colour in the kitchen!
But these few mismatched tiles in the bathroom floor/shower would drive me mad.
Ahh love Berlin apartments, beautiful high ceilings and all the light from the windows, dreamy!
Love the colours, gauzy window treatments and lighting. Really lovely.
Cute kitchen for somebody who never cooks 🤷🏻♀️
For me to live here I'd need a bigger fridge, a door to the bedroom, black-out curtains in the bedroom nook, a proper size closet for my clothes, a proper bookshelf and a different design of bathroom tiles; and plants. But for a temporary place, which I think it might be, (like air b&b) it is quite ok.
Not everyone is obsessed with closets and clutter. One could add furniture for your clothes. A bigger fridge would be overkill for a small apartment for one person. I like its low key not over designed ambiance and lack of godawful scatter cushions and other over used ‘home furnishings’ which serve no functional purpose.
love seeing something in such a historic apartment that keeps those features :)
Those original doorhandles are really wonderful, especially that one at the bathroom door.
I love the use of color in this apartment!
I looooove the fact that the kitchen doesn't seem like a kitchen, and the way she respected the historical walls
Such calm and relaxing interior😊
One of my favorites from this channel. I really appreciate the "gentle" approach that the designer describes, and how respectful the update feels towards the heritage of the building while still feeling fresh, clean, and beautiful. 10/10!
Beautiful colors and ceiling molding.
Stunning, a brilliant use of colours and space
It,s very impressive
Especially wall painting
Antique and modern
Thankyou for sharing. I especially enjoyed the sideboard, the lighting and the colors.
One of the best I saw till now!
Kitchen sink is dope, different yet original!
It’s beautiful! The only question I’m left with is: Where do they keep their clothes?
2 or 3 places where there is room for clothes...not everyone is a hoarder...
In their suitcases. It's clearly an airbnb
GORGEOUS!
I love how minimalist can be beautiful like this.
I'd like to live in this.
I LOVE ALMOST EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS!! IT LOOKS SO BIG!!
It’s difficult to tell how big any of these featured spaces are, because of the camera lens that distort and stretch everything out.
@@sidedoor38 very true!!
@@sidedoor38 oh, yes! Tables that go from a square to a long long rectangle with those camera changes ... You can only trust the 60 cm for the countertop, that being standard
Really nice and comfy colors. The flat really seems way larger than its blueprint suggests. The cablemanagement for some of the lamps could be nicer though😁 but wall plugs are always limited in historical buildings. Thanks for sharing it with us!
A good solution for a minimalist design while retaining an old world feel that the the client clearly favours. For me, I would prefer another solution for the kitchen food preparation with an exhausted/filtered system above the cooking range. 🖤
Oh wow! This place has a vintage and beautiful personality ❤
Impeccable design and taste
The color/tone choices - especially for the entryway, central dining , and living rooms - are very beautiful, sophisticated, serene. There are elements in the bedroom , as well as the bath, that carry that seem theme, and are clever . For the subtlest reasons, however, I found the bedroom wanting, chilly, and wished for a little more "embrace," softness, gravity, luxury. Perhaps it was the color chosen for that space, or the white, more generic-looking platform that held the bed? Not sure. All and all, the physical apartment has handsome bones , and the design choices within - wonderful and informed.
I agree. I liked the use of color overall in this apartment, but the colder blue used in the bedroom clashed with the beautiful, warm blue used in the adjacent kitchen. I think the bedroom definitely could use a more complementary color. Also, while the wallpaper on the ceiling is clever and kind of fun with the old molding, I don't think looking up at the ceiling last thing before bed, and first thing in the morning would be ideal for me in terms of calming and destressing my mind.
