    I wouldn't suggest storing any sort of linen above a toilet, unless it is enclosed in something. With guys using the bathroom, your linens will invariably get backsplash, and smell accordingly.
    Also, I wouldn't put stools near glass, as knees are sure to break it.

    This is the average size of a Swedish apartment, so I wonder if that's why your IKEA store went with this size. Sweden is also the country with the most single households (20% of the population), so that explains why our apartments are smaller. Some Swedish facts for y'all, lol.

    we recently down sized by over 900 sq we went from 2400 to 1500. So freeing to lose all the hassle of caring for so much stuff and space. We did how ever do a kitchen remo and used space in the kitchen literally left empty of cabinets or any other storage by the previous owner. I chose not to have a dishwasher. We are empty nested and I wanted the storage more so than the washer, that would take several days to fill before I could justify using it. It also eliminates us ever having to spend the money to replace it. I guess my point is, you're never too old to make a life change, have less baggage in your life, simplify your lifestyle and realize that less can mean more =)

      TUMBLE HOME Yup, Ikea makes a dishwasher that works with their cabinet doors so you can integrate it. I plan to do that in our kitchen when we renovate. We have a super small kitchen so I think it makes the kitchen appear bigger if you don’t break a run of cabinets with an appliance.

      not doable for a married couple with children. I can tell you it is common for kids to climb into parents’ bed while one is working at the desk. Sometimes it is optimal to keep them all in 1 room if the other parent is out and one needs work done, especially when the living room is not suitable for writing,/using laptop, etc. just uncomfortable to setup in living room.

    Open shelves, hooks, and rods adds clutter. That’s why modern homes have closets to hide your stuff. Stuff everywhere is not organization. Those storage curtains are never closed.

    • @leighsutherland6222
      @leighsutherland6222 4 года назад +2

      I agree about the cluttered look. However, it is very popular. What is organized to someone may not be to your taste, but it does not mean it is not organized. I do not understand your comment about closets. Most modern styles use open shelving and storage hooks! Closets are not modern. Walk in closets are more common than in the past, but certainly closets have been around for ages.

    • @finned958
      @finned958 4 года назад +1

      Leigh Sutherland In reference to closets, Ikea was showing a storage area with curtains. This may happen if you have a loft apartment, which Ikea seems to suggest what it’s furniture is designed for. Most homes have closets with doors to hide your stuff. Yes, closet organizers have open shelving and hooks, but you close the door and no one sees your stuff. It’s better to have a built in closet with doors. Even better to have a walk-in closet.

I found a nice double wide mobile home that is over 1,200 sq ft, 3 bedrooms, and two bathrooms. It is brand new in a 55+ Senior park with a 99 year lease of $350.00 a month. The mobile home is at $139,000. Perfect for me folks and the place have all the amenities I need.

    That is like twice (maybe even three times) the size of my apartment. Take the first room (Livingroom and most of the kitchen) and the bathroom and you have my apartment.

    it feels like they can use a lot of vertical space because there are no windows and no doors in the showunit. A little bit more difficult to execute when you have to consider windows and doors..

      That might not be safe for small children. They like to touch things and might hurt themselves. No matter how "safe" it is made. That is more suited to older children like teenagers or even adults.
