My Studio Apartment Tour | 500 Sq Ft in NYC

Hi friends!! Thank you for watching my studio apartment tour! I’ve lived here for four months now and finally have all of my furniture in the space so I figured it was the perfect time to share. Most things are linked down below, but let me know if I’ve missed something and I’d be happy to share the link!

As a native New Yorker, that is the most spacious studio I’ve ever seen. Great find!

Aw, thanks so much! It's tough to not make these smaller NYC apartments feel overwhelming and cramped so I'm glad to hear it comes across as clean and not crowded!

[@nickorange4881]

I heard it's best to mix stuff of different sizes. I wish I could rember what else they said. I think I saw it o one of citylines videos. They are a Canadian show I believe. These shoe is awesome. I wish I could watch it on TV. But I only see it on youtube

You did a great job at having neutral colours without looking cold. I swear I see some of these all-white or neutral colour apartments and all I can think about is how the space looks like it would be FREEZING cold to me.

[@kirstenashley2864]

Thank you!! I did worry at times that it was a bit bland since I didn't incorporate too much color, but I feel like the plants helped bring it to life 😊
