If you put a large mirror on that wall it will reflect more light into your apartment and make it look larger. I would then add a baker's rack or small kitchen island. You can setup a tea/coffee/snacks area there.

Love the apartment. Great use of space. Maybe a padded bench in the blank space by the door? It would be multi-use as a place to put on shoes, extra guest seating or even to pull out the table for a small dinner party. Also, you could store things under it in baskets. A nice big mirror over it would add light to reflect into the kitchen area and serve as a final out-the-door look in the mirror. Enjoy your space, whatever you do.

[@anneasepetway7697]

Great idea and when I was in college my dorm room was even smaller than this apartment. A friend had a loft she gave me when she moved in a much bigger room, which I loved because the bottom area fit my desk/chair and even a bean bag chair. I put drapes around the bottom so I could close myself in. It was so cool BUT it got old REALLY fast. Climbing up and down that ladder. I eventually started sleeping on the floor and when xmas break started, I took it down and did exactly what this young lady is doing here. LBVS

Most people in houses use only a fraction of the space regularly. There have been studies about it. The American ideal of space for the sake of space is a joke.

Needless to say, I am extreme about living in small spaces now as an adult. There's no need to pay for unnecessary space.

[@nikkic83]

I absolutely love small spaces! Yours is fantastic!

[@r.c.whitaker296]

Also,a mirror on the bathroom door. It will reflect the light from the windows and create the illusion of more space.

[@kathyakamimi4989]

R. Whitaker Great idea!

[@mariekenella]

I would nearly murder someone to have a 700 sq foot apartment tbb

[@peterlipman8211]

I grew up in a 1,700 square foot apartment on 5th Ave.. 20th floor.. overlooking central park.. worth about $35 million today.

[@Q50rs400]

Wow only 700 my condo is 1412 sq and I want a bigger house

[@brittanyjg8804]

Peter Lipman that’s so cool I had family living in one of those buildings over lookinG Central Park and since they were there for so long they pay $800 even after the remodel of the buildings. And apartments there are crazy expensive

[@KarlaTheMichelle]

My 1000 sq feet are looking like a mansion right now 🤣

[@sheilagravely5621]

A very cottage vibe I love it so much! I use alot of the same colors, pink and green. Lots of pictures with pink roses with that color green leaves. I really adore what you did with your space.

[@mollymckelvey971]

I almost died when you said 1200 a month. Where I am i can get a 4 bedroom house for that price.

Yes but can you walk out your door and have a meal and go to a broadway show? These things may be what she wants to do, not a big house to rattle around in.

[@BodaciousWench]

I like the kimono as artwork idea and maybe a small bookcase as a launchpad by the door

[@th3azscorpio]

Still love this tour. Glad I found it again. Its so small, cozy, and adorable. Nicely decorated too.

[@karmacounselor]

very nice, the entry is set apart, the dining table, perfect size...and screen for room separator...I bet living in Japan makes it easier to decorate...so much beauty...

[@sdmsdm7926]

Yeah, me too, I was thinking (lock your door), newcomers to a city always forget about safety first!

[@MaryMary-nj3zy]

I appreciate more the sharing of apt that some ppl may not consider worth showing. The way it makes that person feel about themselves and what their space means to them is a joy. No matter what decor looks like, someone is being inspired and that I feel is the point.

[@olganazario4247]

Beautiful. Enjoy your sweet home👍

[@doves1pellegrino199]

On that wall, add a large painting. It will make the space feel much larger. I'm a designer, so I know a few things. Lol Cute apt.

[@cerenb7909]

huge paintings are really pricey

[@carochan86]

Stick some mirrors on the door that you can remove after ..

[@alexandrastevens8892]

Well set out and very pretty, lovely home. I would probably put a bookcase in the entry way as there seems plenty of room. I would also cover the boxes under the coffee table in some pretty fabric as you obviously have an eye for pretty bright things, you could even thrift bedding and use that. You could make a patchwork quilt to cover your bed. Other than that your apartment appears much bigger than it is and I think you were lucky to find it, obviously all apartments are incredibly expensive there like London 👍

[@susannezami1446]

If you put a very large mirror on one of those empty walls, preferably the one facing your bed, it will give the impression your apartment is even larger than it is. Also, I would get rid of that iron partition separating your bed from your living area and hang a translucent white curtain from the ceiling that is about half the length of your bed instead. Again, it will open up your area even more. I'm sure both these items can be easily bought at thrift shops. Shouldn't cost much. Hope this helps and.............. thank the lord I don't live in NYC. :-)

[@c-light7624]

Love what you’ve done with the place. One tip: You can use a small tension rod and thin curtain for your closet doorway.

[@amyhedrick4395]

Watching this makes me realize all of the options I can do with my place. WOW!

Yes big big deco mirror, or maybe a fake window. They recently did it on the brady bunch house redo for the "attic" and i loved it
