*Small Space* Apartment Tour | Inside my 533 sq ft. Apartment in Portland, OR

[@erinbradfield5770]

For your bathroom plants, I probably wouldn’t go with succulents because they like dry environments with full sun, and a bathroom doesn’t meet either of those requirements. I work at a plant nursery and people always ask me what plants would do well in bathrooms and a lot of plants love bathrooms actually. Since your bathroom doesn’t have a window in the plants are relying on the light coming in from the other windows in your apartment, I would do a plant that can tolerate low light. And there are tons of plants that love low light and humidity because these plants are found essentially on what is on rainforest ground and tropical locations. You could try different varieties of Chinese evergreen, pothos, fern (ferns LOVE humidity), or a snake plant. If you Google or Pinterest bathroom plants you’ll get a good idea but you want to go with something low light that isn’t a cactus or succulent because they aren’t going to do well.

Your minimalism and organization really makes this space look beautiful. Everything has a place and purpose and is super well coordinated.

[@KKG502]

Wow I didn’t know your apartment was around 500 sq feet. It looks huge. You’ve done a great job at decorating and making it an efficient place to live in. It seems like a very calming place. Great video kiara. Keep it up!! Also FYI, the link to the oil vinegar holder goes to the west elm dresser.

[@KiaraMadisen]

Thanks so much for watching and for the tip about the link! I'll fix it right now ;)

I love this so much, interior design is my quarantine *career*

[@KiaraMadisen]

honestly same...it's been so fun.

[@elianesophie5648]

It’s so funny to me what Americans consider small 😅 in Germany that would be an apartment for two people. Right now I live on 290sqft and before that my apartment only had 247sqft.

[@KiaraMadisen]

Woah that's crazy! I want to see inside your apartment!

[@elianesophie5648]

@@KiaraMadisen it’s basically just one room with a double bed, dresser, clothing rack, desk, bookshelf, and a small couch. I think the hallway and the kitchen are both about 22 sqft, the kitchen has a sink, a small fridge and two hot plates. I have a bathtub in my bathroom which is kinda rare and my personal highlight 😅 And what makes a 530sqft apartment for two people (who are roommates) is that the kitchen is most often separate from the living room. So it would have two bedrooms, kitchen and bathroom, but no living room.

[@nikkimarie7421]

Ohmygod that's so small! I'm from AUS and think this is tiny!!

For a "small" site, it looks incredibly comfortable, organized, and very aesthetically pleasing. It seems that you have included everything that anyone could need to live moderately comfortable.

Thank you very much for the tour!

Beautiful space. 💖 For a small footprint you have a a lot of storage. I am working with an organizer who keeps suggesting ways of storing more stuff. I have to keep reminding her I don't need more storage I need less stuff! Found when I am decluttering with her it is much easier to make decisions on keep/donate/sell. She has knowledge on what local thrift places take what items. For example no one takes bedding or towels regardless of condition. But the local animal shelter does! Who knew? It makes me happy to think that my childhood bedding will now be snuggling a doggo or cat.

I just moved into my first apartment and it's 544sqft. I like living in this smaller space because it means I have to reduce what I own and am that much closer to minimalism! Meal prepping is something I LOVE to do, but I don't have that much space for the containers while they're not in use so I actually store them in the dishwasher since I wash everything by hand anyway lol. I don't even have a couch or bed frame yet, but I'm getting there!
