A 40 m2 apartment in the city center. Since it is "one's own life" and contains the function of a bustling city, the things in the room are the least necessary. I saw a room where I could live alone and enjoy a minimalist lifestyle.
Rooms searched for in terms of "location and compactness"
Mr L lives alone in a bachelor apartment. With an area of 40㎡, it is a fairly compact room with about 6 tatami mats including a kitchen.
2 minutes walk from the popular station in the city center, I envied the location where I could move, but when I asked if the size of the room was a bottleneck, I got a surprising answer.
"Because we don't have much, the condition is location and 'compactness.'"
Mr H said he lived in a shared house before moving. This room was stumbled upon while searching on the website. It seems to have decided quickly, as it is a good fit for the conditions.
The floor is solid birch wood flooring. It was a very clean room that had just been completely refurbished. "The room itself was compact as there were plenty of windows and it was bright, but there was a very open feel that made me feel bright. I also liked the colors of the room, such as uniform white and accent cloth. ” ”
Even so, it's this compactness that allows you to see everything as soon as you walk in the door. Still, there's pretty little extra, so it's amazing that I don't feel cramped at all.
I also like the design of the kitchen, simple and practical. "I really like the feeling of white, and I can consciously try to clean it as soon as I use it."
Although it is a shower room without a bathtub, it is also important to have a separate wash basin instead.
The more comfortable you look at the furniture, the more "perfect" it is.
"When the room gets bigger, the amount of stuff increases, so I think it's better to have a compact space where you can't physically add things,"
A fairly clean minimalist L said.
Most of the furniture in the room was the right size and the functionality was well thought out so it was nice to see.
The semi-single mattress fits perfectly with the window space and is used as a sofa during the day.
The low IKEA table, which matches the color of the accent cloth, opens the top plate to become a mirror and can also be used as a dresser.
This window space was originally an open closet, but I bought a compact desk that fit here and used it as a work area.
So where are the clothes...? After thinking about it, it was all packed in this small box of MUJI, which really surprised me.
For bags, use this hook. It was a room and everything was in the right place.
Enjoy your life, including the city
"The area around the station is very functional, which is also key to finding a room,"
When you want to relax, you can spend time in the café or go to the public bath.
It is said that they are not only in the room, but also enjoy "my own life" including the city.
Recently, he has been cultivating "vintage pudding".
And, in the room, only the favorites purchased after careful inspection "Are it really necessary?" Is it exciting to use images? On the table was Anker's projector, which was used as a TV.
Don't forget to decorate your favorite things in a small place. The beautiful postcard is based on the Ghibli film.
Mr L enjoyed his life, including the functions of the city, instead of enduring it in a compact room. I was taught a new way of enjoying living alone.
