Me and my husband have been living here for about a year and a half. We absolutely love it. This
apartment is three by 12 square meters so it's 36 square meters in total and it's the perfect
amount of space for us. Both me and my partner are extreme minimalists of course we want our house to
be extreme minimalist. We live on a small space with not so much storage so keeping it clutter
free and clean is really important. So this is our living room which is also our entrance. So you
come in here and this is a living room and this is the kitchen and the bedroom is on the other side,
and the bathroom is on that side. Our living room is very very small. It's barely a living room. We
can fit the sofa which I made or refurbished, a few plants but then that's pretty much it.
All right so this is the bathroom. And here we have a dishwashing machine. We keep our vacuum
in here and we have toilet and sink and a shower, but there's not so much room for anything else.
So we just have a bathroom cabinet with a few things.
I keep my wedding ring here and then we keep extra towels here.
Next up is our kitchen. We have this huge fridge and it's not our fridge. It
came with the apartment so we don't have to own a fridge. And then this is the kitchen.
So we have a pretty big kitchen. It's pretty dark because there's no windows here and because our
house is quite narrow. But it works really well and it got tons of storage. We don't have any
windows in our kitchen, we have no windows on the back side of our apartment, and we have no windows
in the kitchen area of our house. It gets pretty dark and we have to use the lights anytime we want
to cook. Even if it's in the middle of the day. But it's okay because we got tons of storage here.
Here I keep my bulk shampoos and our teas and supplements. As you can see it's pretty minimal.
Here we got our groceries, our dried goods. We got a dishwasher, a small dishwasher but it works
well anyway. We got an oven, and we got a stove top. So it's great for cooking. And then here
we got our kitchen table with two barstools. This also came with the apartment so we don't own this
and it's super minimal and it's really nice. We never sit and eat here because the height
is sort of not very ergonomic. So you normally sit and eat outside, or sit on the floor.
And looks nice. And we also have our water filter here so we filter all of our tap water here.
So this is the other side of our kitchen. So this is like the hallway into our bedroom
and here we have some sort of open storage. We have our internet connection here,
more storage that's built into the wall. So yeah I keep my sewing supplies in the sewing machine.
Again I'm just borrowing the sewing machine so I don't own it. Which is really good if
you want to be minimal, to borrow things instead of buying them. Our apartment is very rectangular
it is three meters by 12 meters so it's, it's a very long apartment uh which means it's a little
more difficult to storage things. And this is the only place we have to store clothes
so this is me my husband's wardrobe. We share the wardrobe and all our clothes live in here.
So on the left hand side we keep our shirts and I keep all my exercise here.
At the bottom my yoga mat and my exercise stuff. I keep my yoga clothes and my regular
clothes together which isn't that sustainable but it works for now. And then on the other side
we have our jackets and my dresses. And then at the bottom I've made these
sort of bags for underwear and socks so we have one each. That's our entire wardrobe.
Um, so this wasn't here when we first moved in but the landlord was super nice and installed this um
floating desk for me. Because I work from home. So I have my stationary computer here and my floating
desk. And I also have this like ergonomic chair and my favorite plant I don't know where I'm going
to put yet. But so, this is just like crammed in the corners here, we have the hallway that goes
into the rest of the house, and then literally on the other side of here we got the bedroom.
But I don't have any storage or anything here, because I mainly work online. So I don't need the
storage it just clutters my workspace, so I want my workspace to be as minimal as it possibly can.
So this is our bedroom it is super minimal we have nothing in here apart from the bed which I really,
really like. So we have a wooden bed base and then we have an organic mattress
and organic pillows and just linen bedding. We have a lamp in here but we never use it. So that's
our entire house. So it's very small and super minimal and we don't have many things. We have a
few plants but apart from that we have not really any positions. There is no storage in this room
but we don't need storage anyway so it works out fine for us. We also have a beautiful view
like into the New Zealand bush so it's really nice and it's really calm to live here. And
yeah, we really like it. We both feel much calmer when it's clean and minimal and when
we don't have clutter lying around and we've been trying really hard to not acquire new things. I
think that is the number one secret to how we keep our life so minimal. We really like living here,
it's a beautiful part of Auckland. We live at the sort of edge of Auckland.
So we're close to nature, we're close to bush walks, and we're close to the ocean.
And this is a really beautiful apartment and it's completely redone so we're the first people living
here and the landlord built it himself. So we're very fortunate to have a good relationship with
him and to have a relationship where we can communicate about the things that needs to
be fixed if there are any. Thank you so much for watching. This was my extreme minimalist
apartment tour. I hope you enjoyed it and I hope this video inspired you to be a little bit
more minimal to yourself. If you like this video please remember to subscribe and like this video
