Minimalist Living Alone

[@jalabi99]

"Hi, welcome to India's apartment. Oh, and I live here too, when she lets me." (j.k.)

[@Pepe-qw4ec]

lol, it is what it is and it's ok lol. I'm still working on getting there.

[@nikkik5011]

My dude, cable management, I screamed when you raised your desk.

[@sandrarthornton]

You are the second minimalist, this eve, who said, " I hate over head light." Did my heart good to hear it, cause I swaer I thought I was the only one who hates the over head lighting in their apt. 😂😂😂 👍👍👍

[@ah5721]

I am an interior designer. I buy only real wood because laminate always gets damaged. You could buy 2"x4" cut to size 3-4 lengthwise then 2 on the short ends and screw them together and attach the base. That way you have a sturdy top and the bottom gets salvaged.

[@808Affliction]

“Minimalist” my ass your apartment is way big!!! Also you have so much stuff

[@blabla8264]

@Rollo Treadway if it makes them happy, it serves a purpose

[@dodgybishop1479]

"I'm a minimalist, look at all the stuff i have!"

[@Cam-pt9ex]

He’s a market affiliater lool. This dude pushed products to make profit

[@samuelbealer608]

Minimalism is different for everyone. The most general definition is living with the minimum that you need to be comfortable. So a student might only need 1 camera, but a videographer might need 20. Or an average hobbyist only needs a small set of paint, brushes and a few canvases but a painter needs an entire warehouse worth. Not only to live comfortably but to be able to work and do what you love

[@Loostyc]

@@samuelbealer608 So I guess buckingham palace is minimalist too. the queen needs it :D lol

[@kickarse556]

Living with someone who is not a minimalist makes you not a minimalist lol

[@aaronphillip3056]

Cooking with Kraig Do it.

[@smilewithmel]

Give me a tiny minimalist apartment with a few plants and I'll be heaven! Me and my partner are currently living in a studio apartment and honestly I can't imagine living in anything bigger anymore! 🌴🍃

[@808Affliction]

Smile with Mel my partner and I live in a 180 sq ft apartment and we love it!

[@i.am.rossalex]

I have 1200 sq ft house and it is not enough :)

[@shibu.matrix]

@@Kamath.venkat you are bad .

[@Dontstaylonely]

LOVED IT!!! plants are an upgrade for sure. super calming space and video

[@electricreviews1909]

Just replace the fake wood on that piece with real wood. You can have a woodworker do it if the base is strong enough.

[@ailov3]

ElectricReviews or he can just keep using it until it’s worn out. I mean it’s funny how we declutter for the sake of our items not owning us but it seems that the items that are left still owns us and we feel like we need to replace it for better things for the eye when it’s still fine....

[@epsilon13]

@@ailov3 Right? I mean, the defect part is really easily band-aid-able with plaster or something like that.

[@ElizabethTravelsNow]

I like the plants and art India set up. Adds more cozyness without it being too much

[@Prokudak]

Are Apple products mandatory for minimalists? Every single minimalist's vid I have seen sports at least a mac or iphone.

[@SuperGustav123]

Because of their quality and simplicity. Also it's better to have their ecosystem (iOS and OS X) instead of Windows and Android.

[@Prokudak]

Stratos Ecosystem? It's not a living organism. I agree though that iOS is much better than android (full of crap double apps for everything).

[@pureland1375]

Love it Kraig, being a minimalist is great for workflow and a peaceful mind :)

[@theodorerzepski8491]

Agree about ceiling lights. The worst is if it's fluorescent. I find it depressing.

[@miblert3717]

Its India from Gary vee.

[@DJacksonII]

I thought the same thing!

[@car-id4bo]

Let's just agree to disagree.

[@LiborBednarik]

Also though the same

[@Zmiracle2B]

No need to dump the 'kitchen/work table'. The framing for the table and bench look fine. Simply remove the tops and replace with real wood. Finish the wood with a clear varathane or similar finish and it will last for years and look very nice.

[@rayzorhead]

The humidifier is great for that plant you have! NO wonder it looks lush and healthy!

[@TimothymakeupsDitzler]

Digging India’s taste in art! That desk tho! Need one of those...also need to figure out how to rig my rx100 up for webcam use as well...my logic cam is shit. Thanks for tour 3.0

[@dslrvideoshooter]

I love you and your content bro, but I think it is time to say goodbye to the “minimal” title bro 😂 this coming from a studio rat with waaaay too much shit in my life.

[@eeivriell]

Funny enough, watching your 2nd minimalist apartment tour made me your subscriber and I must say, your place is looking pretty cool! I want to have a place like that one day.

[@andrewfitzgerald3816]

See, I like minimalism, but I also like decor. I like a stylish staged home look, just with everything hidden away and organized. Everything has a place. No wires, nothing that doesn't look stylish, and no knick knacks lol.

[@delicacyasmr8023]

Your apartment looks beautiful !!!!

[@cdismufasa]

Thanks for sharing about your life! Its super cool to see how people in other parts of the country live. Also great to learn about your minimalist lifestyle.

[@Nayanexx]

Dude, you are like, SUPER organised. Wooow.

[@Jersey737]

I just love your videos . They are short with quality and make me giggle 😁That's nice that your girlfriend puts art up to make her feel more comfortable.

[@bubby8ball]

Interesting to see how the space has changed. 5/10

[@Arlorevolution]

Love the ending with Alex! Dope!

[@TheRussianGenius]

Man your content is good! First video I've seen from you

[@WailuaMark]

I've heard that apartments in NYC are very expensive and small. Your apartment looks fairly roomy and not that small. I live a 'minimalist' lifestyle, myself, and can fit everything I own inside my little Toyota hatchback, which includes my Japanese-made twin-size bed that folds nicely and fits in the car. I have a dog and she goes in the front passenger seat during these moves. I move to different places around the country about once a year, or two. My job allows this, which is nice. I'm just casually searching for that 'place' that feels comfortable and is also affordable. I thought about going to Brooklyn where I have a few friends, but the expense is a concern. The availability of prepared food 24/7, that New York City is known for, is attractive to a guy who doesn't like to cook. The past few places where I've lived are Connecticut, Arizona, Oahu, Kauai, the Florida Keys, Portland, Vancouver, Coeur d'Alene and currently West Palm Beach. I'm currently looking at Austin, for my next stop. I'm a bit Nomadic. Thanks for opening up your home for all of us to view. All the best!

[@rileyandersen7346]

Kraig... if you know what's good for you, you'll leave ghosty out of this! He stays! ahahaha

[@gtberg]

Just buy a piece of plywood and replace the table top with a real wood top! The metal base is still solid. Unbolt the top, have Home Depot cut a new top from 3/4 furniture grade plywood, Sand, stain or cover with Poly-vinyl clear. And bolt onto the top!

[@JassminaVellucci]

I don’t think some people truly know what, a Minimalist is.

[@MarlonEnglemam]

am I the only one who would have no problem keeping the desk/kitchen table even with the scraped edge??? Seriously, I dont see that as a problem.

[@ec2749]

humidifiers are typically used in the winter to put moisture in the air. Or if you like the "smoke." Whatever. nice video

[@sarahdippity]

Love the tour, Kraig. I think you guys would love having a small water fountain in your apartment too. If you like the humidifier, you'll love a water fountain! Thanks for the tour!!

[@larsvankoningsveld6179]

These tours cleanse my mind dude, love it

[@schneesaphir]

Came back because of India's Instagram story. I really liked this apartment tour, but sometimes I'm not the best follower and just leave a like and no comment. But here it is: I love how you transformed this space - especially the living room and the nice pink wall in the office. And I love the motorized desk. My university where I'm currently studying as an exchange student has a few of those desks and I love them! The new furniture looks amazing, besides the Ikea table - it's practical but it doesn't fit 100% with the other stuff. But I know what a struggle it can be to find the right stuff. My favorite piece in the whole apartment has to be the fake furnace! And in my opinion it’s still minimalistic. It’s not overpacked but also not too empty and it looks homey :)

[@schneesaphir]

Kraig Adams Aww! Thanks! That’s going straight into my CV as “special qualifications” 😊

[@hrishikeshbadiyar4662]

dude what a coincidence my motherland is india

[@masonltompkins]

I've started becoming minimalist in most aspects of my life, but I live with my girlfriend and we make films and videos and stuff together, have a ton of stuff and I totally understand being more minimalist but not being able to get rid of as much as you want. I really like your approach.

[@alf.2929]

I would probably put some sort of nonflammable coaster under that candle so that the heat doesn't put a burned in circle on that nice coffee table.

[@GoldPhoenix]

I think it might help if you mount the TV to the wall. Just to free up that little bit of extra space. It makes a huge difference. Home Depot sells a studless mount that allows you to basically hang it on the wall like a picture frame. You can also order one on Amazon that way you can't potentially violate your lease by drilling holes in the wall. All you'll need is a hammer and the pilot needles that come with it 👌🏽

[@gregspencer5089]

Oh sweet another video about Kraigs apartment and his life as a minimalist!!!

[@leungherman8833]

You don't need to buy all the nice things, your table is still usable

[@andywongable]

For your standing desk you can screw a bracket under the table. Then place an extension cable with outlets and just connect everything to that outlet. Then you will only have one cable. There's also these wires that can tug all the cables to one. Let me know if if it works

[@ien2023]

I'm glad your idea of minimalism is not a blank room with just a stool.

[@scarax146]

this shows, that you don't need much space (less costs) when you don't own much OR can organize your stuff you have quite well

[@kamishy_Art]

i have a dehumidifier because its too humid here and you have a humidiffier, the world is a amazing place

[@brian8614]

you accumulated a lot more stuff! funny that's kind of what happened to me when i got rid of all my stuff and one week i was on a buying spree.. my desire of having stuff was like drinking alcohol after not drinking for a year. And of course, the same hangover came too :P

[@ashleyrose5321]

You could always add those little table corner covers to hide the damaged part. Plus there are ones that protect your hips...for when you bump it.

[@HFDWHALERS97]

This is a great video tour! I've always loved your vids but definitely pulling some inspiration from them now! Cheers!

[@WhimsyApples]

I honestly liked how minimalistic your apartment was before- but that was how I think of minimalism. If you think of it this way, great! Love the video, can't wait for your next video!

[@leonbenj]

So cool how u thought about the light temperatures from ur screen and ur overhead light. I Never thought of that! Awesome vid man. Thanks for the update

[@awesomesty]

You can easily replace the particle board table tops to be real wood

[@nickasherTN]

Dude, you are the man! I love this series so much.

[@chrisbrockhurst]

Hello vape machine humidifier. (I like how it always says hi)

[@Xchang]

Awesome. Really liked the first two videos of this series.

[@selinaschmid696]

I really like the frame of the dinner table and benches. So if you haven't replaced it yet, you might want to try to replace the fake wood with actual wood. It seems easy enough and you won't have spent money on a table you never liked :)

[@noraarmenta1986]

You can return the table back to Amazon...thank God I never had to return anything because everything I order comes in good condition

[@23kingalex]

Yes, it's very common to just have a thing running. When I sleep I run the heater or air conditioning. In the day people to run their TVs to have background noise.

[@jumpsap7894]

Kraig, I really like your videos!

[@Ellivod]

I also live in Brooklyn in a fairly old house (idk about you) and my bedroom especially gets very dry even though it's always warmer and stuffier than the rest of the house, a humidifier saved my sinuses, skin, and eyes the day i got it; it's never a bad thing to have in a smaller space. Also Ghosty is one of the best bits of the apartment.

[@jess_o]

You're not crazy. I enjoy watching vape fog dance in the corners of my vision while sitting at my desk. It is nice to "have something happening"

[@joshuacrane]

Minimalist Wardrobe Tour. I'd watch it.

[@youngpicarraficone8499]

i fucking love minimalism

[@DonnieGQX]

Inspired to declutter like this. Great video bro.

[@DoctorQuinlan]

cable management is very...unminimalistic everywhere

[@YnotMatt]

I'd give this apartment tour a solid 5/10

[@Kevinschart]

there is no window in the office therefore it is not a two bedroom apartment

[@vesnaaaaah]

The ghosty thing is so funny 😁

[@blazinfort9172]

For those of you complaing about how much he has and calling himself a "minimalist". You can be a minimalist with 100K items if you'd like. It's about only keeping what is important to you and being able to focus on the important things in life. Not fitting in to every one else's view of minimalism. Minimalism is what you make it.

[@FedeAlbertiok]

Im obsessed with the humidifier hahaha

[@GarrettGilfillan]

Congrats, you just got a new sub! Keep making awesome videos!

[@broimstraightupnothavingag4975]

This is adderoll personified

[@LindsayCatherine]

This is a level of minimalism I aspire to- Sick Ghost

[@Pologarage-wn9gj]

Какой же он минимализм, когда вся квартира захламлена

[@mroabens]

Can I just say that you have a minimalist apartment, but not a very minimalist cable management behind the TV. hahaha. all love thought, super awesome place

[@galaxygrl_]

Love it. But for some reason it bothers me that you don’t have a rug under your coffee table lol

[@SamMatheson]

Love how the robot vacuum cleaner is lit up like it has eyes and a personality

[@dereklepiesza5022]

Humidifiers are great for the winter time when the air is very dry :)

[@jamesthefirst_8147]

If u like "things happening" try having a little fauntain. Ive tryed it and it is amazing

[@danielcraignicholson]

5:50 - "I don't want bright lights." Turns on the sun.

[@MaryZoles]

I really like your office room! ✌🏻🌿

[@ervin500]

should have a wall mounted TV

[@jaxbiologo]

I came by indication of André Pilli in instagram, and I was amazed by the incredible content of this channel

[@christ0pherc0lumbus]

I agree with a lot of the latest comments - spending half of the video focusing on justifying having the best gadgets and new technology is about as far away from the concept of minimalism. It's a great house tour, but in no way is it a minimalist tour!

[@iamgursingh]

This is not minimalistic, bro! You just have bare essentials.

[@KimahJordan]

So this video showed up in my recommendations because I’d been looking into minimalism recently, but I noticed your name first because it seemed familiar. After actually clicking on the video, I said “dude, I totally went to college with this guy” 😅 Solid content though

[@rodrigomafra1645]

Don’t worry overheard lighting is 👎🏿....keep being who u r!!!

[@delicacyasmr8023]

Do you have a book or a blog ? How do you charge your canon camera in the middle of your computer set up??

[@Sapyenology]

Too many rooms and too many unnecessary things, not minimal enough for me thanks.

[@ZrixTheMagician3]

you should really get phillips hue bulbs or something as you care this much about light temperature

[@gilbertliebenberg2101]

Plz centre the couch with the acoustic foam 😂 it has me dyingg

[@stvsueoka1]

Great apartment! You're brave having a real wood coffee table without a glass top though hahaha. I wasn't disciplined enough to keep mine looking good. My friends weren't either. That thing was ruined after my first get together. It's been nothing but tempered glass coffee tables ever since. :)

[@nasirb3914]

I hate overhead light. Ghosty is cute.

[@vincentvanbergen3125]

If this is a real minimalist apartment I should not have seen the wires at 3:13

[@dinocanales8093]

Vape machine interact, hilarious!!!!

[@theaeon]

that sneaky pewds reference lol

[@BruceBruce15]

Yayyyy yeah!!! New room tour!

[@headlesshorseman9801]

"India is from San Francisco" lol

[@KennTollens]

Nice organized life before kids.
