They put a lot of thought and intention into every aspect of their home and came up with some beautiful interior design ideas as well as some clever storage and organization hacks in each space, from the kitchen and living room to the bathroom and bedroom. We've gotten so many great ideas after taking a peek inside their little condo for two!

Living in a small space isn't easy, and it requires a lot of discipline to keep the space clean and uncluttered. One of the things Tina and Rob do to prevent things from piling up is a one-in, one-out rule. So if they're bringing something new into the apartment, they have to get rid of something to make space for it.
But some of the benefits of living small are undeniable, it's more affordable, it's simple, and it can reduce your environmental impact if it means you use less electricity, buy fewer things, have less space to heat and cool, etc.
We hope you enjoyed this video! We have a playlist with some other great small apartment tours if you want to check them out here:

A truly well laid out design of their condo. I know a person in an 800sqft corner condo unit that isn't half as functional. More importantly, it is nice to see a couple that seem to enjoy each other's company. Life is much easier when you partner is your best friend. I think Rob and Tina could live anywhere comfortably and happy. Lots of lessons here for the rest of us. Thanks Mat and #ExploringAlternatives for sharing this with us.

I loved how you made the tiny space work. It is so homy.. cozy and beautiful.

Once you become a home-owner, no matter how small it is in sq ft area, it would still feel bigger due to the comfort that ownership brings in. Edit : Had to edit out house with home. Since people seem to put more literal sense in the kind of dwelling, rather than the idea of dwelling ownership in first place.

Tina & Rob have done a wonderful job making their living space so warm and comfortable! I love what they have done! :)
-
I loved my 520 square foot cottage. Would never go bigger!!
-
If they kept this place since 2020, they’ve done really well. Worth at least 50% more now.
-
It's not about the size of the building big or small, but more about how we arrange things, and I agree with that👍👍👍😀😀
-
Love your place! ❤ Similar thing happened to us: moved from nearly 2k square ft to now 600 square ft, and have been in current space for over 10 yrs (in city for work). For my forever countryside home someday, the one thing I now know I don't want: large indoor space; outdoor: yes. Living small is a liberation. 😊

That's a gigantic fridge for a tiny apartment.
-
Fabulous!! It's amazing how clever your small space solutions are, very impressive.
-
Beautiful and so well organized! Very peaceful vibe.
-
Loved this video. Really showed being a minimalist can work easy in a small space and still have all the comforts of home. Thanks for this

You have a lot of great ideas for living small. You make very good use of your small space.

Living in a minimalist style with streamlined and sophisticated interiors full of amenities for life.

I sized down to 400 sf, it is plenty. I have another 120 sf space, but couldn't find space for 1) my garden preserves, and 2) my sewing stuff. I finally figured out food storage and I'm working that in. Then, I realized I can lay out quilts and yardage outside on a table. I also want to try van travel, and found a fold up table that would travel too. I also started a hexagon hand stitch quilt and love the process. Turned my fabric stash into a lifetime supply. Oops. I already grow a year's worth of food to dehydrate. 6 pounds of carrots dehydrate down to one cup! Lightweight and less space. As I age I just don't want so much stuff, but sizing down is an art. I cook more on my bitty hibachi and wok. Quick breads instead of baking bread. Beans and soups in my solar cooker on sunny days. It saves a lot of energy and I still keep my 5 acre food forest. If I manage this shift, a van is easy.

I really like this home. It is so well organized and beautifully decorated. I would feel very comfortable in such a well laid out apartment.
-
It dosent seem too minimal you seem to have all the things you need and you’ve made good use of the spaces in the apartment which is well done by the way I love the windows and view very modern, I really like your home very nice.😌
-
So good! They should change that bedroom closet door into a curtain of something of the like. That door blocking everything would drive me nuts

I am in transition from a large house to a 2 bedroom condo. These videos really give me organisation insight and ideas. We all make sacrifices for whatever reason. Becoming more minimalist and mindful is a journey for me. These people have embodied that concept very well!
