Small Apartment Tour - Life in a Beautiful 400 ft² Studio Apartment in the City
Вставка
- Опубліковано 4 жов 2024
- Jessica has been living in this 400 ft² studio apartment for 3 years and she's giving us a full tour to share how she decorated it and set it up to be a small but beautiful & functional space for relaxing, cooking, sleeping, being creative, and working from home.

The apartment is an open-concept space that could have easily become cluttered with furniture and belongings but Jessica thoughtfully laid everything out so that it feels like each area is clearly defined. She also made design choices that help keep the space feeling bright and spacious, like painting the walls white, installing mirrored closet doors, hanging minimalist art, and choosing furniture that blends in rather than stands out (like the glass waterfall table and the white storage chest).
One huge advantage to Jessica's space is that it has a massive 4-door closet that gives her enough space to store all of her clothes, bags and luggage, shoes, and other possessions. She also has access to a storage locker that allows her to store hockey gear and other larger items.
Jessica plans to move into a larger space when she's ready to start a family but says this apartment was perfect for this time in her life. The only things she would change would be to have a proper balcony (she has a Juliet balcony but would have liked to be able to actually sit outside), and she would have also liked a little bit more counter space for preparing food.
We hope you enjoyed touring this small apartment with us! Be sure to check out Jessica's UA-cam channel here: / jessicamoy

FRIDGE & STOVE should be FAR APART ...because the heat of the stove will come to fridge
I loved when Jessica said, "It's a little messy because I live here." Well said!
And it wasn't even messy!
I liked that too.
Is this Studio Apt. in Rialto, & how much
Is this Studio Apt. in Rialto, & how much😮
Love her tiny house. Small but functional and cosy at the same time. She has a very supportive dad !
Nice shout out to the Dad's who help in these projects like this one! Go Dad!
Why are they making this out to be an "odd" thing cause her apartment is a little smaller? Shes one person and even if it was more than just her there's nothing wrong with having a smaller space to call home. If you're happy living in a box all that matters is you're happy. I love her apartment!!
May I ask which investments are good? I've had an apartment for quite a while now but I've found it difficult to increase the luxury of my interiors.
Heard many good recommendations about ROCHELLE DUNGCA-SCHREIBER by some YT channels, Seminars and other platforms.
@jamesabdelkarim no you dont 😅
I lived in a few rooming houses in my 20s this 400 square foot studio would have been so wonderful back then! A person that has lived in rooming house before I think would understand my comment. If I was looking to own property outside of my province, this studio would be great to own, for when visiting Toronto Ontario.
Because she's trying to be a UA-cam influencer - she's about to find out 😂
I love how she has everything organized!!! It was nice her Dad helped her renovate her apartment. One thing that I liked was how the closets were so organized!! Loved how the closets had shelves for her things.
Nice small apartment that's clean, organized and everything has it's own spot.
Love it! I’m 66 and have slowly downsized so it’s not up to my kids to clean out when I die. I’m in a one bedroom apartment at 835 sq ft and I had thought this next year or two about a studio apartment and hers looks perfect. Wish I could find one like that.
I’m 71 and three years ago I moved to a one bedroom apartment of 496 sq feet in a nice area of my hometown, Stockholm. I just love my well organized space where I have all I need, less cleaning and more money left to go to the opera, concerts and other activities. Don’t hesitate to move to a smaller place when You get older, You won’t regnet it!
Smart young lady to have bought your own place vs losing all your money to the expensive T.O. rental market. You've made it work well for you. I agree with the other comment that a Murphy bed would be a great addition, and expand your space - especially for having friends over. Very nice walk-through. And kudos to dad for the wonderful improvements!
I love how practical her tiny apartment is and not too clutter. Almost like a minimalist
"It's a little messy..."
NO IT'S NOT! 😆🤣
So in love with your space, near clean and bright.
I think it's perfect. You have everything organized really well. That's the key to having a pretty place. For your age, it's plenty. And your dad is a wonderful dad.
Beautiful!! You might consider a Murphy bed.
I WAS GONNA SAY! 🙂 love Murphy beds!
This is one of the best studio apartments I have ever seen and, thank you Dad for doing that closet for her because, that makes all the difference in the world .. your place is elegant it's bright it's decorated so pretty ..I wouldn't leave that place until you have too because, I got to tell you it's one of the best I've ever seen.. you should be so proud of how beautiful it looks and how inviting it is.. job well done!! 👍
First of all, Cudos to your dad ..... Everything has a place and purpose. Love it.
Love love love everything about this. When she said prefers smaller places bc everything has a place and function, instant like!
Your apartment may be small, but it’s Mighty! Very cozy, warm and welcoming. Congratulations
She has a great attitude. This is what she can get for now. It will allow her to get what she needs next. She also has a great dad that helped make it how she wanted it.
We all do, it just depends on what size box you’d like.
Beautiful space and great couch. I’ve never lived in an apartment where the landlord allows me to make renovations, very nice.
I think she bought her unit if I am understanding correctly. She said a studio is what she could afford on her budget, plus she is paying maintenance fees.
Excellent organizational skills.
Really beautiful!! Light, bright, & airy. Everything nice & neat & functional. Great job!! ❤️🏡☺️
I loooove her apartment. It's actually big for me.
That’s a truly beautiful home. Well designed. Outstanding use of space. I love her practicality as well.
Good use of space! The wallpaper at the entry way adds a pop of fun, and the couch choice is exceptional... its a gorgeous piece. I'm blown away by the ample closet space, too! Thanks for the tour
Super! Everything is simple, functional and convenient! Well done! 👍
Did a wonderful job with the space.
What a gorgeous studio apartment! Your dad has increased the.value of your placre by installing your built ins! You can also put a standing shelving unit next to your bed to divide your bed from your desk area! Dads are amazing!! Very nice! 💯
Very cute... screaming for a Murphy bed and a poster over the fuse box :)
BEAUTIFUL APARTMENT. SO CKEAN LOOKING
The ONE thing that I think would have been perfect- convert the bed to a “Murphy Bed”! It could be hidden when not in use AND when it is up against the wall, it makes more room for you and guest!
The wall paper makes your place so pretty. I love that idea
I also love her video on purchasing her apartment, it was nice to see how it has changed and she has decorated since that first video went out.
Very nice.
It's so lovely, tiny, minimalist and cozy. I'm fall in love 🤍 I'd like a place like this.
I seriously love this channel. Constantly being inspired and it’s so cool to see personalized homes and the reasons behind each touch. I also love that each video teaches lessons on minimalism, sustainability, travel, construction and so much more. Beautiful Videos!
Thanks so much for your comment! We do our best to keep our videos interesting and try out different topics so it's great to hear feedback like this :) :)
Absolutely charming
Beautiful apartment. Nice and neat!
It's so beautiful and inspiring, love it so much😍😍😍
I would put a sideboard along the bed. This would separate sleeping from working zone, give her extra storage for her working space, act as a night stand and wouldn't be overwhelming. Otherwise, the apartment is perfect.
just beautiful!!
smartly organized ❣️ beautiful indeed ♥️
Her apartment is really cute and cozy! I especially love the wooden box 🇭🇹
I love your apartment!
Thank you so much for featuring my little space. ❤️❤️❤️
You have an amzing place but I must say, your personality is what draws people in. Thank you for showcasing your home to us. Best wishes on all your endeavors.
I like the layout and the separated floors between the living area and the service area. Kudos to her and her dad for the interior reno. thanks for sharing the video.
That is so smart , buying a studio apartment, I never thought about that !
Absolutely beautiful! So cosy, and welcoming. Great job!
Love this space! Jessica and dad have really put a lot of love into it. xx
I luv that she has Grogu doll😂. Very cute💯🔥🙌🏼. I always eat on floor as well.
😍 That sofa 😍
Very nice
Look so cozy
It’s just sweet…good for you!
Beautiful and functional condo! She has definitely created a beautiful home for herself!
Her Dad did. Which is very lucky and convenient to have a dad alive/available to help and is a handyman by trade. Just saying.
I love the small apartment ideas , I love your apartment , and if I visit newyork ,I will give you a very expensive painting for your apartment, yeh I promise
Beautiful apartment love she got a washing machine. 👍🥰
Wow this is such a lovely and efficient apartment. We like the layout and design. We think the apartment fits her. Hoping she has many happy years there. Thanks Matt and Danielle for sharing her story.❤
Beautiful!!!!
I love how your person touches and energy is shared in this space ❤️
Wow, love this place! ♥️
I love this apartment! Very well done
Thanks for sharing! Great going getting into a pricey urban market where parking is the holy grail! I've lived in a tiny urban condo since 2011 and love it more and more every year. My tape measure is my favorite toy.
Studio type apartment is my dream apartment. I believe that my dream one day will come true. I loved your house as well. You've created really manageable condition for you. Really, wish you good luck!
I absolutely love it!
Thank God for her dad! He really brought that place to modern life LOL
It's huge!
You could of bought one of those washers that do dry and wash.maybe you could go ck one out they’re about the same size..very cute place…also for the circuit breaker you could buy a tapestry to cover it if you want.just ideas
Great job! I love what you did with your space!
Beautiful home!
Outstanding job decorating and creating a viable living/working environment all in a place to call home..
#Toronto #JessicaMoy
Beautiful 💕
Beautiful, organized place. Also, there is a lot of closet space for a small apartment. Her taste is very good and the way the apartment is laid out gives it a bigger appearance.
Your studio is absolutely beautiful ! Love the decor & your sofa !
Confused about the clothing rack next to the bed, but love the desk + TV set up + couch
This is so cute!!!!!
Very nice. Good job.
Love your apt. Nicely decorated.
Your home is nice. And comfy. I love a clean environment. And thing's organized. You hv a loving and caring dad 👍 smile. Thanks for sharing 😊
Very beautiful
Well done🌹🌷
I love it
I like!
So organised ❤
Really nice!
I'm about to move into a studio apartment and you gave me some great ideas....
nice! I have the same Grogu, got him at TJMaxx
Love it!
I have a three bedroom garden home doesn’t have any more cupboards and you’ve got and I like your footstool for your sewing oh your grandmother, sewing stuff and your electronics. That works too. That’ll be handy.
This is absolutely beautiful 😊. Making the best of Toronto being one of the world's most expensive places to live
Very smart,,,,house prices are out this planet at this times
This is a really cute space and the video is shot so well.
That's realistic. I always wondered how people managed to keep their homes super aesthetic with kids n all.
It's a great space and quite the coup to have such a handy papa! However, I am curious to know why you didn't opt for a washer/dryer combo unit?
Beautifully Perfect!💖
a murphy bed would be perfect for this place. It swing up against the wall when not in use. There are nicely built ones with shelves and nice woodwork.
I really love your studio home it’s the best 👌👌👌
I'm looking at your video for inspiration because I am thinking of getting a studio apartment myself.
If I were her I would put the round dining table in the kitchen for more food prep space, and I'd get a small work desk
Cool 😎
Nice! Looks spacious! (Watching from my 70 Square feet tiny home 😂😂
Beautiful space! And nice to see something "real" for lack of a better word -- the boat / van / etc. homes are interesting but don't apply to most of us.
