Full Tour: Inside my 12 sqm/130 sq ft TINY MICRO STUDIO I SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA 2020

How I make my 12 sqm, EXTREMELY SMALL, micro studio in Sydney work! Even though I can touch both walls at the same time!

I love that your apartment really is tiny , when you see other you tubers show so called tiny space’s they’re no where near tiny , your space saving ideas are brilliant thank you.

[@thistinyspace]

Thank you Barbara! Yes I notice that too! Especially on Insta.. It seems 'one person's tiny, is another person's ENOURMOUS" . I just moved to a 46sqm apt & to me that's HUGE now, so I feel weird posting under 'This Tiny Space' now but to other people, 46sqm IS tiny! 😅

"Even if you live in a tiny space, you still have shoes" - excellent point :D

[@thistinyspace]

Haha! I see so many accounts on Insta of small space wardrobes where the person who lives there only seems to have 5 items of clothing, each peice is perfect & either white, beige or pale salmon ( to match the decor) and no one ever seems to have more than one pair of shoes! It's a pet peeve, can you tell 😅

[@asha4715]

This is my most favorite tiny space. It’s beautiful, organized and efficient.

Annie you are the sweetest!!!! Thank you so much!! I can't tell you how much that means to hear. 😊😊😊 thank you!

The fact that you have what appears to be a small balcony makes all the difference. You did a great job with such a tiny space.

[@thistinyspace]

Thanks so much, that's so lovely of you to say. Yes the balcony makes ALL the difference, I truly don't think it would be liveable without it!

Hi Loriann, just wanted to let you know I finally posted the missing balcony tour! It's up now if you wanted to see what it was like 😉

[@dezembras-taschenwelt]

I really really like how confident you are with your space. Most KZbinrs who present their tiny apartment seem to apologize for their choice to live in such a small flat. You are just fine with it. Plus your home is beautiful and well planned so you make the most of it. It was fun watching, I'll come back to your channel. All the best for you. Anne from Germany

[@thistinyspace]

Thanks so much Anne! It's funny because I was ashamed about it for a long time. I had moved to a new city & didn't want to share & this was all I could afford...& I was embarrassed by that. But I did some work on it & I grew to love it & the freedom it gave me. There are millions of people who live in tiny spaces, for different reasons, so I thought I'd get over myself & share how I make it work. Best decision ever! Thanks again for your kind words 🥰

[@sophanarachay4917]

I've never seen an apartment so well organised. What you did in such a small place is just amazing. I don't know for Australia but in France we have stackable pots and pans without hand : Ingenio by Tefal. I love them.

Ohhh I've never seen those! They sound fantastic!!! Thank you so much for your lovely comments, very much appreciated ☺

[@thistinyspace]

@@katbar6066 Thanks so much! It did take me a few months to jack it out to be fair, and there was A LOT of trial and error, but I was determined to use every millimetre! I used an induction hotplate from IKEA which tucked in under my sink & a tiny airfryer for anything that required an oven. I have a whole series of detailed IGTV mini vids that I must upload because they go into more detailed specifics. But I crammed A LOT into that tiny space!!!

I've seen other videos of tiny apartments that were staged, but you really appear to live here. You're well organized! There's a surprising amount of storage space, and it looks like you have a balcony for living area in good weather. I could see myself living there, though I would tuck a desk in that nook with your mini-library. This is perhaps the best micro studio I've seen on KZbin.

[@thistinyspace]

Ah thank you Bob!!! That's so kind! I tried to utilize every possible millimetre of the space to maximize the storage & made quite a few adjustments to the wardrobe configuration so I could get more in! yes the balcony is FANTASTIC! It gets used every single day, even in winter. You can't really tell from the video but the mini library is up high on the wall above the bed, (inbetween the wall cupboard & the balcony door) so no room for a desk there, BUT I use the pop out I made for the kitchen as a desk! I use the stool from the balcony as my chair & it works a treat! Thanks again for your lovely compliments 🤗

Your small space reminds me of when I first moved out of home, I lived in a room for a several months than into this tiny self contained studio in Marrickville. I didn't have much $$ but somehow made the space my own. It was quite spacious had 2 large rooms one for kitchen one for living/bedroom and a small bathroom - I loved that space.

[@thistinyspace]

[@luke.morris.redfern-hardis9338]

It is amazing what you have done with such a tiny space. It is very well organised, and I loved your presentation style. I hope you don’t have to pay a small fortune in rent each month for living in it, but even micro-apartments in the major cities seems to be incredibly expensive these days,. Thanks for the video

[@thistinyspace]

Thank you so much Luke! Yes rent in Sydney is crazy high & it really cost more than it should for what it is, but what can ya do!! Its the cheapest I could find that was totally self contained, but yes, still over priced (I think anyway) for what it is. Thank you for your lovely compliments!! :)

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]

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!! 😂

Hello from Canada! Wow, great job organizing your tiny studio apartment. I love that you have a place for shoes, lol. I can see what looks like a balcony, so you can have some fresh air and have a living space there as well .A Convection Oven on the countertop would really help for cooking/baking. I have a standard electric stove with oven but I use my Convection Oven more than the big one. Saves on hydro too. Thank you for the lovely tour! Stay safe!

Hello Canada!!! Yes the balcony is terrific! I have plants, a rug, fairy lights & a huge mirror out there so it's a lovely spot, I have an induction hotplate instead of a stove top which tucks in under the sink perfectly and a mini air-fryer which I use instead of an oven, which I keep in the cupboard in the hall. (which is why you don't see them!} Because the entire countertop space is less than 100cm INCLUDING the sink, I like to keep the space clear & useable when I'm not cooking.

Kogan sell Ovela kitchen pot set with removable handles same as the Tefal for a fraction of the price (I bought a set a couple of months ago for $45 against the similar Tefal set at $299). It's many years since I lived in Sydney, but honestly, I'm appalled that any place in Australia would have the temerity to even build something this tiny. Of course, Sydney has always been overpriced, so I guess it's the only way you could afford to live there now. You've done a marvellous job of decorating your little shoebox. I have a Tiny House (28 sq m) that I had built with lots of storage built in, so I appreciate all of your clever hacks and finishes. It sure makes my place seem like a mansion size wise though.

I've found they take up less space & are less cluttered looking this way, the shoe holder also holds spare toilet paper, my hair straightener & additional toiletries like body moisturiser, cotton wool etc. Small items live in brass flower pots which sit on round shelves by the sink , but you may not have spotted them because they blend in! I've found pots take up less space than traditional baskets :)

I've lived 13 years in a 12 sqm apartment in Copenhagen and now got a 48 sqm apartment about 400 m down the same road. Every day I pass my old place on my bike and miss it. The sounds through the walls (lousy insolation), the neighbors (shared common kitchen), the messy hallways (shifting cleaning ladies). Everything. I only had 1 room and a bathroom in the 12 sqm one but now I have a kitchen, a bathroom, a hallway, a bedroom, and a living room. But only furniture for the bedroom and no kitchen gear and I just cannot feel at home. I know it's a luxury problem but I feel almost agoraphobic. The living room is empty and it roars when walking through it. We Danes love our cozy vibes and smaller living spaces and although 12 sqm is on the very smaller side, it never felt too small for me.

[@thistinyspace]

I TOTALLY understand!! I also recently moved to a bigger place & I find myself looking at pictures on my Instagram wistfully. It's amazing how you adjust to a smaller space & it was your home for a very long time... it will take time to adjust to your bigger space but you'll get there & one day it will feel like home too & hygge will be restored. Best of luck!

Your apartment is so cute and organised. I love small spaces, i was wondering, How does one come across a micro-apartment in Sydney?? I have been searching but have yet to come across any.

[@thistinyspace]

So sorry for the very late reply!!! I used the website RealEstate.com.au to be honest I wasn't looking specifically for a micro studio, I just put in what I could afford & this was one of the very few options in my price range. It's on Parramatta road in Camperdown. Hope this helps & good luck! 🍀

[@glamourwrist1632]

Hello, dear I love your apartment, you are very clever at making every space your own, My favourite is the space until the cabinet, would you mind explaining how you built, because that would every helpful in my kitchen as well, lovely tutorial. Thanks a lots and best wishes!! ❤

[@thistinyspace]

Thank you! It's just a set of drawer runners attracted to a piece of IKEA counter top I had cut to size and then screwed into the cabinet carcass. It's the best thing & all tiny spaces should have one!!!

I love Nuxe oil too! And it looks beautiful on a display shelf. Where do you buy those nice bottles for your beauty products? And the label maker? I really want to try it in my bathroom too. Your bathroom is lovely.

[@thistinyspace]

Ah thanks so much Grace!!! isn't Nuxe the best!! the smell...so good. The products I use most are by a company called Trilogy and the packaging is lovely, so what you see on the shelf is mainly used products, that once they run out, I just wash and reuse the bottle / jar/ tub. I'm not sure where you live but we have a store in Sydney called Diaso and they sell similar bottles. The label maker I use is from Dymo, you want the one that is mechanical (ie not battery operated) if you google "Dymo Embossing Label maker" it will come up. I ordered mine online & a few of the letters didn't work, so if you can, buy it in a store, that way you can return it easier if there are any issues! I have a more detailed vid I made for IGTV for insta about the bathroom if you're on the gram that you might find useful! :)

I'm curious about your wardrobe (because I've been working on a capsule for myself). How many pants, shirts, sweaters, shoes do you have? What was most obviously important to you as you decided what you could keep in your closet? If you want to share.

[@thistinyspace]

Hi Eleanor, I kept all my clothes & got rid of nothing which was a very deliberate personal choice! all the other flats in the building use the closet closest to the kitchen as a pantry for storing cooking equipment , crockery & dried/ tinned food but I didn't want to get rid of any of my clothes so I worked hard at absorbing those things else where in the studio so I could use that closet for clothes. I moved shelves around & fitted a rail so I could double the internal space & used vac pac bags for off season stuff in storage boxes at the the top. Crammed into the entire closet is about 30 pairs of pants, 60 tops/ tshirts & 80 coats/dresses, about 8 jumpers and A LOT of underwear!! I did a few more detailed IGTV videos for insta which you might find useful @thistinyspace. Good luck with your new efficient capsule wardrobe!

Could you tell us where you found the Extra large 3M hook that you used for the bottom part of you ironing board so it wont swing out into your closet? I can't find it anywhere, and I have the same problem. Love your channel!!!

[@thistinyspace]

Thanks so much Diane! The bottom one is not actually 3M (my bad) I got it in Bunnings which is a hardware store here in Australia, it came in a multi pack & was a cheaper version of the 3M hooks. I would try Dollar Stores too, I've seen similar one's in those cheapy cheapy shops, any brand of big hook will do, you just add the 3M command strips to the back to make them removable. Hope that helps!

Love your space, can you please tell me where you found the small round shelves you have in the bathroom!!

[@thistinyspace]

Thanks so much! I got them in IKEA about a year ago but I think they were a limited release because I haven't seen them in a while. They're really great though & PERFECT for tight corners/ limited space (or for indoor plants). They made a HUGE difference to the usability of the bathroom so if you see them, I highly recommend them!

[@cheekypupdogtraining3298]

Thanks for such a quick reply! Looks like I’ll have to get the expensive version from etsy. They look like the perfect size to hold a mini google assistant.

[@thistinyspace]

@@cheekypupdogtraining3298 Oh yes! It would be perfect for that!!! I'm not sure where you're based but I did a little search & it came up on some of the European ikea websites (& Amazon) it's called Sammanhang Display Shelf & it's €13. Hope you find it!

Great little space. Is that a balcony as well? That would be my favourite thing if it is, I wonder why you didn’t show it.

It was my favourite too!! My next door neighbour was really violent & aggressive & would scream obscenities at me if I ever made noise when I was on the balcony & I just wasn't up for dealing with him that day!!
