Farida's 400-square-foot studio apartment in Toronto, Canada is perfectly set up for a creative young professional. She's been living here for almost 4 years and has done a great job of creating defined spaces within the open-concept condo space. She has a twin bed at one end which saves loads of floor space, and a wall unit that provides storage for books and crafts, but also acts as a room divider for a bit of privacy. She has a full-size closet for clothes, a desk for doing hair and makeup, and also for sewing projects. In the living room, she has a loveseat which is perfect for lounging, and a comfy spot to do her cross-stitch projects. In the kitchen, there's a small table for eating or for computer work and a linear kitchen with a surprising amount of pantry storage space. Finally, in the hallway, there's a coat closet, a laundry closet, a bathroom with a stand-up shower, and a bit of an entryway. There's also a West-facing balcony and floor-to-ceiling windows all along one wall of the condo.

We love checking out small and alternative spaces like tiny houses, yurts, float homes, etc. but it's also worth remembering that there are loads of small apartments and condos in cities that allow for simple, minimalist living if that's where you want/need to be. Small space living isn't restricted to rural areas or to alternative structures. That being said, living in the city can be quite expensive (although rural living might appear cheaper, but you often need a vehicle!). Lots of things to consider when choosing where and how you want to live :)
Thanks for watching!
