I live in a 1400 sq ft space and I STILL think I could use more space.
It may have something to do with the fact that I grew up in a landed property with a yard, a full grown old tree in that yard (I always thought it came out from one of the fairy tales when I was a kid), a river next to the house, in a quaint town called Tawau.
So you can imagine it took more than a little adjusting when I purchased my own apartment in the city
Before owning that, I rented a 400 sq feet serviced apartment and WAS THAT A NIGHTMARE!
My closet burst, literally! I had to pay the owner for the shattered door!
The “living area” was littered with magazines.
And I hurt myself every time I tried to turn around in the bathroom!
SO, if you stay in a closet, or is considering renting/ buying one, have I found a gem of an idea for you!
Surely this can’t be just 500 sq feet!
Note: Lining the walls – all the storage space to avoid clutter and mess!
IT IS only 500 sq feet, and you’ve got space for entertaining too!
View from living area. Is that a room upstairs?!
IT IS a room! And look how spacious it looks! Smart use of built-in shelves!
Well, built in everything really.
No sh*%! Drawers in stairs – genius!
There’s a partitioned bathroom in this joint?!
Oh yes there is. AND storage space under the sink!
A fully functional kitchen with a huge ass fridge too! Now this is amazing!
Just to get our bearings right. Front door, bathroom, kitchen, then living area. ALL IN 500 sq feet!
Fuss free shutters to filter or let in light to the entire apartment.
Smart storage lining wall.
Who would’ve thought?!
