It was the biggest and the only one of the apartment that was on the left side of it, and it had so much natural daylight even on days when it wasn’t that sunny at all. This room was my favorite of all and was the room were we hung out the most. Things have more or less worked even after she came to live with us. Note: we furnished the kitchen this way much before it was even in our plans to adopt a cat. The small shelves for spices are also from Ikea (I wish we didn’t buy that much stuff from Ikea, but sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do). Fridge is second hand too and the microwave was replaced just a few months before moving out (our old second hand one that we got for free broke last December). The chairs + cushions and the folding table are from Ikea. The little blue-ish cart is from Ikea (had searched for one second hand on eBay but never managed to get one, they always went away so quickly!) and the three open shelves are all second hand. We did cook a lot at home so we had various utensils as well as different foods (I eat a plant based diet and my ex-partner didn’t, so couldn’t always cook the exact same things). ![]() So we managed to keep everything on open shelves. Now I’m going to break it all down to you and give you a glimpse into each one of the rooms.Ĭonsidering that the kitchen wasn’t particularly big as well, when we moved in here we knew that we didn’t want to commit to a traditional kitchen with cabinets. For me, regardless of where you live, home is not a storage space or warehouse: home is home and should feel like a welcoming place, both for whoever lives there and for guests. We also made our best to find eco friendly alternatives to apartment furnishing and decorating, for example such as buying second hand or making a few decor pieces ourselves. We kept things fairly simple but still made the place interesting and inviting. ![]() Since me and my ex-partner were and are still planning to stay in Berlin long term, we did our best to make this apartment feel like a home, without necessarily buying lots of furniture, knick knacks or decor pieces. ![]() There were windows on both sides of the apartment, so it was very bright and luminous, not hot in the summer and not super cold in winter. The apartment was roughly 55sqm (which is 592 sqf) and consisted of bedroom, living room, bathroom and kitchen, entrance way/hallway and a small storage room. Whilst adjusting to a new chapter of my life in my studio, I want to share a little tour of the apartment I have lived in for almost two years and I’ve just moved out of. The choice had to be a natural consequence of events that I have more or less explained in this video. (ENG only) If you’ve read my latest post that you probably now by now that I have recently moved into a small 30sqm studio apartment on my own.
