    The trick to minimalism is having well designed storage, which is what this young couple have done👏👏.

      Yes! I'm moving into a small condo.and this is going to be the challenge! I don't need more living space.. but the lack of closet/storage space has me on YT trying to figure out what to do!!

    So many things to love! The custom handles in the kitchen, the cosy dining area, the light infused cabinetry, the hall cupboard, the art collection, that fridge! Shout-out to that cool pink chair as well. Congrats on a beautiful home, you two!

    What a genius use of materials 👏👏👏👏. The cabinetry looks beautiful, simple and timeless. I love how they tried to keep their carbon footprint to a minimum by using every last bit of the materials. I wish I had remembered to ask the company that cut my kitchen counter tops to finish off the edges of the stove and sink cutouts so that they could be used as trivets or as serving surfaces, I have done it before and the only drawback is that they are heavy. Love all of the ceramics as well 😍😍😍😍. And the cat is the perfect addition 🐱😍😍😍😍

    If it were me i would remove the kitchen wall so the flat would feel more spacious. Love the style, i doesnt feel like a showoff flat but an actual place to live. Its subtle yet has the detail to avoid the boring empty space

    Love the concept, all the design decisions and that it's much more sustainable to build than with regular methods. It also looks much better than regular furniture. I would love to do something similar once I'll own my own place.
    Would love to see a more in-depth video on this project, the actual design process, how different decisions were made, costs etc.
    Also how does it compare to buying regular furtinture cost wise?

    I thought that my brain died for a second when I've seen the "Chroń oczy, ręce, nogi..." poster - I wasn't expecting polish in that video XD I would love to see bathroom and more of bedroom (on the plan there is a wordrobe I haven't seen here) but I get that owners might not want to show some spaces ...

      @@davidchapman11 That's what I thought. Both about poster probably being original (as Polish School of Posters is quite known abroad) and bathroom/bedroom not being renovated yet (I get that most people don't want to show rooms before renovation - my bathroom also is a disaster, before I gather money to do it as I want - but sometimes it still could be inspiring ... people are usually shocked that I have painted my floor and wall tiles - cheap solution that bought me some time, and I like it enough to not be miserable when using bathroom... I also "stole" Some ideas from not-renovated places 😉)

      I'm sorry you see this video and the presence of myself on my own channel as a joke and imitation of Never Too Small. While I don't mind being compared to just an amazing channel, I frankly can't understand what point you were trying to make with this comment. Please explain how "This feels like a comedic imitation of never too small"?

    @MatteoManzi 2 года назад +4

    Hi, I would like to understand something: why do you always appear in the videos instead of the owners?
    Don't get me wrong, I LOVE your videos and they are often very inspirational but seeing a stranger walking around the apartment as if it were your home just creates a huge annoyance and discomfort for me. That environment was created for other people, not for you. To see you using the space as if it were "your" space I find is a violence. A violence of design and an emotional violence. Every living thing is naturally inclined to create its own unique and personal habitat.
    Try to consider changing this choice in the future.
    Thank you if you would like to read me

    • @SimpleDwelling
      @SimpleDwelling  2 года назад +9

      Why don’t I show the owners? Simple, 99% of owners wish to remain private. They are more than happy to open their home to me for the day, and I take this an opportunity to experience their home, and so lately I’ve been appearing in the video as an outsider discovering everything. Prior to that, the architects would assume this role, but they often have busy schedules and can’t spend extra time to open cupboards on camera.
      I don’t even try to pretend that it’s my home, and very rarely will you see me slump in the couch, take anything from the fridge or sit at the dining table to eat something. I may sit at a window bench seat, or open the fridge to show the integration, but that’s hardly acting as if it’s my space.
      I am sorry you find my presence on my own RUclips channel discomforting. Maybe try and look at my appearance as almost like a surrogate for yourself, since you’re unable to physically experience the space, allow me, the creator, do it for you.
