I usually don't comment on videos, but I have to say as a fellow video editor I really enjoyed this one. The more filmmaker and storytelling + the mega clean cinematics made this a joy to watch. Keep up the great content!
Agreed! This video really stepped it up in terms of b-roll, different camera angles, excellent music choices and terrific storytelling skills. Absolutely fantastic, Daniel! Great job! Go you!!
I always feel that people can live quite well in small spaces. There's always such a push for bigger/larger but in reality, thoughtful design and creative solutions can get you the same (if not better) outcome.
So, heres the thing. Kids do not know anything but what they have. If their lives starts in a small place, they adapt. Its most likely on the parents and what they want to achieve in life and what they want for their family. It is quite stressful to live in a small apartment as Daniel's with a kid and in the future two (CONGRATS ON THAT BY THE WAY. I had goosebumps!
I think a happy medium is best. We don’t all need to live in mansions, but many Western countries also have a bit of a housing crisis at the moment. A tiny house or a studio flat are great solutions for some people and some life situations, but not for others. There is a risk of glorifying the small space lifestyle. Many developers sell “luxury apartments” that are just a normal size. I always wonder when having two or three bedrooms and enough space for a family became a luxury. Of course it’s good to walk through life with an attitude of gratitude, but working people need to be able to afford a family home. Some people might live in small homes out of choice, but many do out of necessity.
I roared with laughter at the end of this video! Seriously though, I can see why you would want to stay there, and if anyone can think smarter rather than harder when it comes to home layout, it's you, Daniel. Fascinating video, thank you. You've taught me a lot.
It's refreshing to see a channel like yours helping people visualize how they can make their spaces continue to work for them, with a little creative thinking. This has given me all sorts of ideas to make small changes in my apartment.
Daniel, I’ve been watching you since forever and I think this has been one of the BEST video you’ve done. The concept, the shots, the story, the music choice. EVERYTHING IS JUST *chefs kiss* Keep up the good work!
Great video, am interested to see if it works as planned. My kids never played in their bedrooms 🥴 always wanted to be where mum and dad where…kitchen, garden, living room, bathroom! 🙄🥴
What a great solution! By the way, what mattresses did you end up choosing for your FLEKKE daybed? Ikea lists five different options, and it'd be nice to know which one you find so comfy!
Love this video, especially the ending 😂. This is Sooo real life, so I really appreciate you sharing both the struggle and solution. Great ideas and I love how it turned out. The daybed is genius! The new desktop computer made me pretty jealous too.
I’m with you on preferring smaller spaces. I live in a studio. I find satisfaction in knowing that every sq ft serves a purpose, though trade offs are to be made in order to maintain all the functionality that you need. I previously had my office situated in my living area, which was nice because I had the room to intentionally build out the office I really wanted. Then I bought a couch, and now my desk is in my kitchen lol. Over all it works out much better this way!
Same here. I actually moved from a one bedroom to a studio 3 months ago. I find it comforting too. Knowing where everything is, and how easy it is to clean, makes me more relaxed. I hate clutter and it stresses me out. I also work from home, and organising a studio is like playing Tetris lol. Wanna swap pics of our studios? 😅. I'm always curious how everyone organises theirs lol.
So much love for this channel and this particular challenge, Daniel. I've just moved out of my first home of 12 years, which was a 19th-century terraced cottage in southeast UK. The struggle for space and storage was ever-present, but it was a great challenge to have, and I actually really enjoyed finding clever ways to maximise and 'unlock' space whilst minimising our living at/working from home footprint.
I imagine it's so someone can sit or use the bed while someone else works? Or maybe it's an aesthetics thing. Your suggestions sounds ike a good substitution though
It would also be handy for Daniel to sit comfortably and work on the iPad, as he is doing in one section of the video. Also, if either parent needs a nap (as toddler parents sometimes do) they can do that, too.
This video has so much planning put into it, from real-life problem, sponsor, new build B-rolls, solution implemented, and the last bit of laugh. I now get why good videographers always say "story-telling" is the most important all the time!
I usually love your work. However, this video confuses me. Why didn’t you just move your desk into the living room? That way, you could integrate work and play instead of work and sleep? It would also save you from having to pack up your bed every morning.
Commonly unused space during the day is our bedroom varied by people of course 😂 Me personally I made my bed most of the morning and I don’t sleep during the day but I do take a nap, though its pretty unusual. I also have my office setup in my bedroom as it gives me privacy and serenity from outdoor chaos from sharing the space with family members. During the day when I need a break I’ll go out to the living room and have lunch and chit chat with family members before going back to my office aka bedroom. On the evening when I no longer use the office, then I use my bed for sleep at night. So from my perspective I see the valid reasons why Daniel made the changes 😉
I do not like. I would make the desk "folding" against the wall. The monitor does not need to be placed on a desk. It can be hung on the wall /as TVs are hung/. The computer itself does not need to be placed on the desk either. Subwoofers are also superfluous. The chair may be foldable. In reality, you and your wife are sleeping UNDER THE DESK right now. Terrible and unnecessary. Your daughter's room is like a junkyard. Terrace of the children's room is DANGEROUS. You had to switch the places of your bedroom and the children's room. It is not a good idea to fold and unfold the bed. Imagine a situation where one of you and my wife is sick... Your desk should have been foldable, not the bed!
Another thing to note is that the kids always love being in the room that the parent is in, so those toys will still gravitate out of the kid's room into the living areas, but at least there's a place to put it.
I really like the idea of getting the most out of a small place. It's easy to make tons of content in a big house where you can stretch all the way, but having a decent small space is way harder. However, this type of content is so much more relevant to a lot of people. Thanks Daniel
Especially in Australia where insanely high rents see people forced to downsize and adapt. We just did Daniel taught me in his videos how to make it work and we are very comfortable.
Hey, I enjoy your videos a lot and wanted to suggest a shared work space. Won't that solve all your problems? You get your bedroom back and also a separate room for work. That way you can also have a daily commute and may meet new cool people. Keep up with the good work!
I admire your problem solving abilities and how you continually adapt to new challenges. The place needs a little bit more of a woman’s touch I feel. Apart form the toys in one room it’s hard to tell that a women and kid live in the apartment. The space feels more like an office overall. Its not the size, I live small with kids… its more the color palette and lack of cozy elements in the space. I am aware of minimalism esthetic you are going for, but I think a little color and some fabrics don’t take a lot of space. Otherwise great channel 😊👍 Me an my kids live in a small home as well. 3 kids no less. We have to be fairly minimal but I have chosen to create a more womb like environment in our space after decorating in a super minimalistic style for a while… actually with similar color palette as is in your space. And boy let me tell you… this sort interior just feels so good I am never going back. We are still fairly minimal… it just colors are very different and there are more cozy elements added in✌️ I am glad you are making videos though… very useful 😊
I work from my bedroom and I love it. I am way more productive, and I have better life work balance. I allow myself more breaks and I easily go to work if I'm inspired, even if it's after hours. It allows for more natural daily schedule for me.
Tell us how you like the bed after a few months. I could not do it for to long. The boards became creaky and could feel it. Would like to hear your update as time goes by
I have a very similar setup. One thing I will say, upgrade those mattresses, foam doesn't age well. Back pain made me invest, but tbf, I'm twice your age! Love the channel, planning to send my room in at some point for some Danisation. 👍
I JUST LOVE THE INTRO, 😂😂🤣 it reminds me of my dad and I trying to negotiate with my mom about the space in the houses hahaha, Good solutions Daniel, keep the good content my boy. you such and inspiration for me as a designer.
We’re 2+2 family living in a 53m2 2 bed apartment and it’s so refreshing to see how other families need to move around furniture, change functions to adapt the space to the changing needs. We basically reorganize sth every 6 months. Just now, when my kids are 5 and 7 i feel like we can settle down for a bit. We would love to get a bigger apartment, give our boys separate rooms but prices are horrendous. So for now we choose great neighbourhood over living space
I really enjoyed watching this one although this layout would not really work out for myself. I just feel like I don’t want to spend extra 5 to 15 minutes everyday folding and doing the bed. I can have sleeping and working space in the same room. But if you are organized this will work out great. Thank you so much for sharing this video! It was very insightful
Love how you three are making your small space work and how that inspires others to think of what might be possible. We have four living in an older condo ~1050sqft, that is hard to do; but we did have enough space to give the kids separate bedrooms by utilizing part of the large living room, some IKEA Pax cabinets and ingenuity. As to the possible punchline at the end of the video, only you can tell us if that was a good old British gag-line setup or not😊
4:41-4:44 is such a cool shot! And the music just makes it better. Love watching high quality and entertaining content. And loved that ending LOL. Keep it up Daniel!
For a heads up i have that bed; the wheels under the pulling out part broke off pretty quickly with hardly any use and the beds use for it can give you serious back pain in the long run! Ps don’t especially sleep on 2 mattresses.
We have four telecommuters living together (my wife, I, two adult sons) in 1,700 sq ft. I’m in my bedroom room about 16 hours a day. And I run a RUclips channel from it too in addition to my full time Job. Oof. I need a new set up.
I had one some time ago and it was pretty good. No roll-together. Not so much disturbance when one or the other gets up at night. Debating whether to do separate beds as we get older.
The famous Marie Kondo says she has let go of keeping her home minimalism after her kids were born. Kondo has written four books on organizing, which have collectively sold millions of copies around the world. Her book The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up (2011) has been published in more than 30 countries. It was a best-seller in Japan and in Europe.
I pressed like really early on, in this video, for two reasons: 1. Bluey toys 🙂 2. Relatable "sacrifices" /compromises, for sake of your daughter. I am father to a 13 month old girl, which has meant that a few unexpected, yet required, cognitive shifts have had to occur.
How is the heat factor from the computer? Since COVID I've been working from home, I have a company furnished Dell 5820 that puts out a massive amount of heat - even with a ceiling fan it pushes the temperature of the room to over 80°F / 27°C, even in December. I started working from the Primary Bedroom, however it was so hot at night we had to move my office to another room in the house.
I don't know how real world applicable this is but I would much prefer having a separate space for my Office in your Case. Doing everything home makes me sick to the bone, so I would look for s 25-30 m^2 space. Although as I understand it would be better to have asylum level depression than having to pay that extra rent
Really shows that kids make stuff a lot difficult, huh? I can never see myself having kids, certainly not while living a minimalist lifestyle. Thankfully, I don't have to worry about that because I'm never having them.
Hi Daniel, thank you for inspiration for living in small spaces! I have a question- could you share, where do you keep the big mattress for king size bed, when the bed is folded? I have beedn wandering about a similar solution for my family bedroom, but I cannot figure out a good way to store the mattress :/
So which specific model of computer do you use? You mention computer visualization, but what about your architectural design software? What do you use for that, and do you think it will run something like Chief Architect?
I don’t get this…. Instead of having to pull out the bed each night and so having ‘millimetres’ of space when it’s out, why didn’t you put the speakers and desktop on the shelves on the empty wall space beside the window and then hang the main screen above a wall-mounted folding table? Folding the table is way easier and you wouldn’t be blocking the bed. Maybe don’t get it because like you say it’s for entertainment pov
Hmmm, I think creating a wall of sorts around your desk is the answer. So you don’t see it at night. Also where’s the artwork? Wall decor? Nightstands? Pretty things? Rugs?
Love the videos. Was that a short-throw project I saw in the living room since it was opposite the couch? I live in Barcelona now and am trying my hardest not to have a big TV dominating my living room. (the Frame TV is a nice concept but price, quality, and the need to still fill the wall is stopping me)
Dude replace the monitor with a 4K Fire TV and you won't need the speakers either. Resolution wise it'll work fine if you don't need > 60 FPS refresh rate.

I can actually aI have the same problem and simmilar amount of rooms and living room combined with kitchen, dining room. But Ive managed to place my home office and setup in the living room. As a person who had bedroom and home office more than 12 years, I really cant stand having work area in bedroom. My GF needs to sleep while I can work at night. ANd the worst part of having setup and bedroom in one room is dust. Dust cleaning in bedroom/office needs to be done at least once per day.
great video! I was just wondering why you didn't build in a murphy bed in the bedroom/office? Wouldn't that be easier to convert from bedroom to office mode?
Love your video and idea!!! I am hugely inspired and want to try casters on my baby's crib as well. Do you mind sharing stem casters and sockets you used? :)
Makes me giggle seeing another minimalist with Bluey toys as it is exactly the same in my house with my two year old. I don't have all the luxury that you have and we live together in a 450ft one bedroom flat with a garden and shed. We will be sharing a room together for a very long time and so we got the Ikea single with storage and mattress underneath and put a bed length bed guard up to stop him or myself falling out of bed when he inevitably sleeps the wrong way round. I am really considering what life will look like later and deeply considering a coffee to dinning table like you had and installing a Murphy bed for the living room down the line so that he can have the bedroom as completely his. Then it would become a choice of toys in his room and my clothes in the living room, or leaving my clothes in his room and leaving toys in the living room or keeping both his toys and clothes and my clothes in the bedroom. So many choices, made more complex by living in smaller spaces. What would anyone else do?
Is there a way to fit 2 single beds (and 2 desks) in a small ish room? About 15sqm. My brother and I share a room temporarily while I wait to go abroad
It’s funny, you are building a channel based on being an expert in minimalism yet you live in a multi-storey corporate building which is a high rise. For an architect or any minimalist person that is strange and incongruent.
just a comment on the “architect” title for most of your videos, they are mostly swapping furniture around, changing the interior layout, not so much on the architecture side of things, dont get me wrong I love the videos, but to call every single one of them - architect this and that, is a bit off to be honest, cheers
I was literally talking to a friend who also has 2 children yesterday about your channel and wondering how you're going to stay minimal with a child and lo and behold, the answer came today! 😊 We live in tiny flats in London as well so we can completely relate to these issues. Great ideas. Whenever I watch your videos, I tell my husband D - hey come over here, we should do this... Also, great videography. You're getting better and better! And yes, we would love ideas for when you have TWO children in a small space!
I thought that by being an architect you were going to do something better. Like some furniture with a Murphy bed and the desk hidden somehow, and not just cram a bed and a desk in a room.
Is that an announcement at the end!? If yes, congratulations, man! I'm so happy for you. 😊 (from a Civil Eng. and an Artist)
is it just me or does it feel like daniel has really stepped up his videography game? the music and the b-roll look a lot better to me
Yes indeed, smooth like marques brown lee 😊
That shot on the terrace was beautifully sharp and so nicely framed.
He did! The music choices were fantastic, and he worked hard for that b-roll. 👍🙂
I echo!
yes, it feels fresh,
I usually don't comment on videos, but I have to say as a fellow video editor I really enjoyed this one. The more filmmaker and storytelling + the mega clean cinematics made this a joy to watch. Keep up the great content!
Agreed! This video really stepped it up in terms of b-roll, different camera angles, excellent music choices and terrific storytelling skills. Absolutely fantastic, Daniel! Great job! Go you!!
Congrats! I’m glad you having another, because our second’s on the way and we need more small space inspo for multiple children!
🤣
😂 “Enough space for another kid” 😂. Is that announcement?
I always feel that people can live quite well in small spaces. There's always such a push for bigger/larger but in reality, thoughtful design and creative solutions can get you the same (if not better) outcome.
So, heres the thing. Kids do not know anything but what they have. If their lives starts in a small place, they adapt.

It is quite stressful to live in a small apartment as Daniel's with a kid and in the future two (CONGRATS ON THAT BY THE WAY. I had goosebumps!

A tiny house or a studio flat are great solutions for some people and some life situations, but not for others. There is a risk of glorifying the small space lifestyle.

Daniel, I’ve been watching you since forever and I think this has been one of the BEST video you’ve done. The concept, the shots, the story, the music choice. EVERYTHING IS JUST *chefs kiss* Keep up the good work!
I love this style of video - hybrid of a vlog and a type of tutorial showing anyone in the same situation that this can be done.
I think I’d put the desk on wheels too, to move it out of the bedroom when sleeping. But love the overall versatility and creative use of space!
Why dont you rent a small studio for your work and youtube stuff??
Dude, this video was insane. The visuals, cinematography, content itself, everything was so well made. Thanks for making such great videos!
congratulations to both of you, love the new set up and wishing your whole family the best ❤
Great video, am interested to see if it works as planned. My kids never played in their bedrooms 🥴 always wanted to be where mum and dad where…kitchen, garden, living room, bathroom! 🙄🥴

Why not go for a Murphy or one of those Ori beds?
I imagine it's so someone can sit or use the bed while someone else works? Or maybe it's an aesthetics thing. Your suggestions sounds ike a good substitution though

Lol @9:24 "Well I suppose we have enough room for another kid" and the video cuts before we get the wife's reaction.

The vibe on this video was stellar!
I love all your videos anyways but wanted to say this one felt super fresh!
honest dad's life as a content creator and.. a dad.. thanks for this video!

Especially in Australia where insanely high rents see people forced to downsize and adapt. We just did Daniel taught me in his videos how to make it work and we are very comfortable.
Could have just removed the child?
What an L take. I wouldn't like to have children myself, but judging other people's life decisions like that is a loser mentality
😂
Dude the ending of the video is a whole movie 🤭
Would you be able to share what mattresses you have please? Ikea ones are not very comfortable for the extendable bed.
Thank you. I love your work!
Oh, I don't know, I think those toys will migrate into the living room...she will want to be wherever her parents are...
Hey, I enjoy your videos a lot and wanted to suggest a shared work space. Won't that solve all your problems? You get your bedroom back and also a separate room for work. That way you can also have a daily commute and may meet new cool people. Keep up with the good work!
I'm not quite sold on having the desk so close and over the bed when it's pulled out, but it looks like things might have to change again soon!
You still need a bigger place to live. This is just suffocating.
They will get tired of that bedroom setup. Been there.
Just as a useful tip for other people struggling with a small space: a murphy bed could also be a fantastic option imo. Especially in a work/bedroom
I admire your problem solving abilities and how you continually adapt to new challenges.
The place needs a little bit more of a woman’s touch I feel. Apart form the toys in one room it’s hard to tell that a women and kid live in the apartment. The space feels more like an office overall. Its not the size, I live small with kids… its more the color palette and lack of cozy elements in the space.

And boy let me tell you… this sort interior just feels so good I am never going back.
We are still fairly minimal… it just colors are very different and there are more cozy elements added in✌️
I am glad you are making videos though… very useful 😊
I work from my bedroom and I love it. I am way more productive, and I have better life work balance. I allow myself more breaks and I easily go to work if I'm inspired, even if it's after hours. It allows for more natural daily schedule for me.
You definitely have space for another kid since they can share their room! If it was an announcement, congrats!
Tell us how you like the bed after a few months. I could not do it for to long. The boards became creaky and could feel it. Would like to hear your update as time goes by
Burst out laughing at the ending
Congrats on the new Titchener
I have a very similar setup. One thing I will say, upgrade those mattresses, foam doesn't age well. Back pain made me invest, but tbf, I'm twice your age!
Love the channel, planning to send my room in at some point for some Danisation. 👍
the ending!!!, Well done, this is the story telling , functional and practical ideas, video quality and tone that I enjoy from this channel
"All of the youtube chaos" if you look at this from a non-minimalist viewpoint, that statement is absolutely ridiculous
This is great but this means you both have to get up in order to use that room xD
Can you upgrade your daughter's the Heelers' home? 🤣
0:25 a rooftop terrorist / YOO WHATFFFF WITH THAT ENDING MY DUDEE!?!!!? HAAHAHAHhahahahahah xD bruhhh
"her development is more important than my minimalist preferences" - I love that
I JUST LOVE THE INTRO, 😂😂🤣 it reminds me of my dad and I trying to negotiate with my mom about the space in the houses hahaha, Good solutions Daniel, keep the good content my boy. you such and inspiration for me as a designer.
Really like how the video was edited different from how they usually are but still really good

4:41-4:44 is such a cool shot! And the music just makes it better. Love watching high quality and entertaining content. And loved that ending LOL. Keep it up Daniel!
I was raving on this shots too! Pretty entertaining huh and the chewing scene when he look over at the camera definitely is giving 😂
@@hanibee22 Agreed! It's definitely giving
I don't know what it is but this video was a joy to watch: the music (song btw??), the b-roll, the light-heartedness was just great. Keep it up man!
For a heads up i have that bed; the wheels under the pulling out part broke off pretty quickly with hardly any use and the beds use for it can give you serious back pain in the long run! Ps don’t especially sleep on 2 mattresses.
😂😂😂
Is Daniel's Humor Aesthetic Passive Agressive productivity for those he loves? 😅
I have all of my needs... but others needs are chaotic. Are they?
We have four telecommuters living together (my wife, I, two adult sons) in 1,700 sq ft. I’m in my bedroom room about 16 hours a day. And I run a RUclips channel from it too in addition to my full time Job. Oof. I need a new set up.
Wouldn’t it be easier to move a bed to a studio and not the other way around?
8:10 I want to get a daybed as well, but doesn't the space between the two matresses become annoying?
I had one some time ago and it was pretty good. No roll-together. Not so much disturbance when one or the other gets up at night. Debating whether to do separate beds as we get older.
Such a smart move ; leading to better bed, better sleep, even better idea to come 😉
If your daughter is going to be on a screen then at least Bluey is premium content for the whole family.

Her book The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up (2011) has been published in more than 30 countries. It was a best-seller in Japan and in Europe.
I pressed like really early on, in this video, for two reasons:
1. Bluey toys 🙂
2. Relatable "sacrifices" /compromises, for sake of your daughter.
I am father to a 13 month old girl, which has meant that a few unexpected, yet required, cognitive shifts have had to occur.
I was entertained how Daniel planned this makeover from the very beginning. 😍😍 Looking forward for more. 😉😉
How is the heat factor from the computer?
Since COVID I've been working from home, I have a company furnished Dell 5820 that puts out a massive amount of heat - even with a ceiling fan it pushes the temperature of the room to over 80°F / 27°C, even in December. I started working from the Primary Bedroom, however it was so hot at night we had to move my office to another room in the house.
I don't know how real world applicable this is but I would much prefer having a separate space for my Office in your Case. Doing everything home makes me sick to the bone, so I would look for s 25-30 m^2 space. Although as I understand it would be better to have asylum level depression than having to pay that extra rent
Really shows that kids make stuff a lot difficult, huh? I can never see myself having kids, certainly not while living a minimalist lifestyle. Thankfully, I don't have to worry about that because I'm never having them.
Hi Daniel, thank you for inspiration for living in small spaces! I have a question- could you share, where do you keep the big mattress for king size bed, when the bed is folded? I have beedn wandering about a similar solution for my family bedroom, but I cannot figure out a good way to store the mattress :/
@daniel can you show us how you maximize the use of your storage locker
So which specific model of computer do you use? You mention computer visualization, but what about your architectural design software? What do you use for that, and do you think it will run something like Chief Architect?
I don’t get this…. Instead of having to pull out the bed each night and so having ‘millimetres’ of space when it’s out, why didn’t you put the speakers and desktop on the shelves on the empty wall space beside the window and then hang the main screen above a wall-mounted folding table? Folding the table is way easier and you wouldn’t be blocking the bed. Maybe don’t get it because like you say it’s for entertainment pov
Wait, does that mean baby #2 is in the oven?! If so, congrats!!
Hmmm, I think creating a wall of sorts around your desk is the answer. So you don’t see it at night. Also where’s the artwork? Wall decor? Nightstands? Pretty things? Rugs?
Wife: Hey, how come you are setting up all these cameras in our bedroom?
Husband: Oh, don't worry, it is definitely just for my RUclips channel.
Love the videos. Was that a short-throw project I saw in the living room since it was opposite the couch? I live in Barcelona now and am trying my hardest not to have a big TV dominating my living room. (the Frame TV is a nice concept but price, quality, and the need to still fill the wall is stopping me)
Dude replace the monitor with a 4K Fire TV and you won't need the speakers either. Resolution wise it'll work fine if you don't need > 60 FPS refresh rate.
I can actually aI have the same problem and simmilar amount of rooms and living room combined with kitchen, dining room. But Ive managed to place my home office and setup in the living room. As a person who had bedroom and home office more than 12 years, I really cant stand having work area in bedroom. My GF needs to sleep while I can work at night. ANd the worst part of having setup and bedroom in one room is dust. Dust cleaning in bedroom/office needs to be done at least once per day.
great video! I was just wondering why you didn't build in a murphy bed in the bedroom/office? Wouldn't that be easier to convert from bedroom to office mode?
Love your video and idea!!! I am hugely inspired and want to try casters on my baby's crib as well. Do you mind sharing stem casters and sockets you used? :)
Makes me giggle seeing another minimalist with Bluey toys as it is exactly the same in my house with my two year old. I don't have all the luxury that you have and we live together in a 450ft one bedroom flat with a garden and shed. We will be sharing a room together for a very long time and so we got the Ikea single with storage and mattress underneath and put a bed length bed guard up to stop him or myself falling out of bed when he inevitably sleeps the wrong way round. I am really considering what life will look like later and deeply considering a coffee to dinning table like you had and installing a Murphy bed for the living room down the line so that he can have the bedroom as completely his. Then it would become a choice of toys in his room and my clothes in the living room, or leaving my clothes in his room and leaving toys in the living room or keeping both his toys and clothes and my clothes in the bedroom. So many choices, made more complex by living in smaller spaces. What would anyone else do?
Is there a way to fit 2 single beds (and 2 desks) in a small ish room? About 15sqm. My brother and I share a room temporarily while I wait to go abroad
Great compromise, pioritizing what really matters :-)
I love your videos and your style!
Hey Daniel. What mattress did you use for the daybed? Links will help. Thank you!
It’s funny, you are building a channel based on being an expert in minimalism yet you live in a multi-storey corporate building which is a high rise. For an architect or any minimalist person that is strange and incongruent.
Also, do the house now, much easier than when you have a second kid!!
Yikes! Is another kid on the way? Trust me, kid #2 is logarithmically more space and time consuming
Beyond happy to see my fave youtuber struggling in Vancouver with space like the rest of us ;-P
Is “Minimalism” still a model to be monetized in 2023? It sounds GretaTumberg-ish.
I’m wondering if they can’t get a three bedroom unit in that building? Or bias preferable from a minimalist standpoint?
just a comment on the “architect” title for most of your videos, they are mostly swapping furniture around, changing the interior layout, not so much on the architecture side of things, dont get me wrong I love the videos, but to call every single one of them - architect this and that, is a bit off to be honest, cheers
I was literally talking to a friend who also has 2 children yesterday about your channel and wondering how you're going to stay minimal with a child and lo and behold, the answer came today! 😊 We live in tiny flats in London as well so we can completely relate to these issues. Great ideas. Whenever I watch your videos, I tell my husband D - hey come over here, we should do this... Also, great videography. You're getting better and better! And yes, we would love ideas for when you have TWO children in a small space!
and please, ideas for toy storage??
I’ve just found you on you tube and enjoy your ideas for small spaces I’m moving into a small house. And I need some help are you able to comment?
This was so cheesy and overdone compared to all the other videos. I'm absolutely cringing omg.
I thought that by being an architect you were going to do something better. Like some furniture with a Murphy bed and the desk hidden somehow, and not just cram a bed and a desk in a room.
I would have given your daughter your bedroom and switched to sleep in the studio area (regarding the balcony)
There is something about headboard/corner/side part of the daybed that just bugs the heck out of me. Its so awkward and had no use 😮
I feel like I have another room! That definitely sounds like a win👍
