Welcome to my apartment. It is a 2 bedroom 2 bathroom located just 10 minutes south of Sydney CBD.
The apartment has an open plan layout with a total internal area of 84m2 and a north-facing balcony. I live here with my girlfriend and two other roommates who occupies the second bedroom and bathroom.
Furniture and pieces are a combination of midcentury modern, contemporary, and Scandinavian. I combine both affordable pieces along with a few designer pieces which I got mostly secondhand.
The color palette is mostly neutral (black and a little white) with warm wood tones (mostly oak), and greeneries.
There are decor items that don't serve functional purposes, so to some, it might not qualify as minimalist. However, they help inspire me creatively and are visually pleasing, hence I have a few of them sprinkled throughout the space. They are meant to add personality and visual interest into the space.

I routinely watch apartment tours/anything home decor related and this was by FAR the most organized, calming, and well put together video I've seen. I especially appreciated the sources you included at the end rather than just throwing a list in the description. Really great job and you truly have an eye for design!
Wow, thank you! The sources at the end took quite a while to edit; so happy to see you enjoyed it 😊.
@@reynardlowell the edit was definitely worth it! It completely made the video!
I agree!
Exactly..
Yeah it was all perfect! Also just incredible filming and editing in general!
This is the most perfect apartment tour video I have ever seen! Every aspect is lovely! To the visuals, transitions, your thoughtfulness, attention to detail and even your soothing voice. Thank you so much for making your content and giving us such great ideas and inspiration!
May I ask which investments are good? I've had an apartment for quite a while now but I've found it difficult to increase the luxury of my interiors.
he told his roommates don't touch nothing i got it 😂
😆👍🏿
as an architect I appreciate the way you illustrate your room layout with plan drawings! Very neat and modern art decor ! You deserve more viewers!
I couldn't agree more!
agreed!
I am not an architect. But I agree. I guess organizing is the key to make a house - big or small - look classy and worth coming home to.
when i want to watch an apartment tour, this is what i meant! love everything about this video!!!
Thank You! Glad you enjoyed the video.
Me too,
I’m telling you!
Same
Same here ♥
This must been the Most Detailed yet not Exaggerated Room Tour i had seen. HGTV Must learn from you. 😅😅
This got to be one of my favourite comment 😅 Appreciate the kind words.
The apartment as well as the quality of the video is wow, top notch!👌🏽 Cheers from Sweden
Thanks! Took me quite some time to edit everything together but glad to know you liked it 😊
This is a DREAM! I can’t wait to decorate my new apartment. I got so many great ideas from this video. 👏🏽
Thanks!! Glad you find it helpful 😊
This video deserves 500k views. You have done such a great job and I can’t believe this is a rental unit! Absolutely amazing.
I'll take that :D ! Appreciate the kind words.
Ended up getting over 700,000!
@moonchild actually 1.5m now deserved it :)
The attention to details absolutely astounding. This is such a beautiful and cohesive place.
I still find it crazy how you can get two other roommates to keep your place so tidy and clean and get the layout/design you want. I can only see just a partner who has same mindset. So hats off to you sir! Having extra roommates ruined my life lol
Haha I am fortunate that the roommates are people I know. It also helps that I practically 'run the place' (they moved in a year after I've been here) so they don't have to furnish and spend on anything other than their own room. My gf also help set up some ground rules (washing dish after every meal, no trash in common places, etc.). Of course, it is not as 'perfect' as in the video, but overall can't complain considering the cost savings and most days I'm the only one home :)
ikea marketing team should hire you. your arrangement videos are AMAZING!
Your taste is impeccable 😍
Thank You!
Mine too👍
agreed! the only thing i just can't stand are the fake plants, and the brabantia trash can, that's inconvenient to open and close. it doesn't close by itself, you have to close it all the time - a pedal one would be so much easier :D
You actually live with other people?! How do you manage to make them as neat as you?! #seriouslyasking
Probably just be straight forward and a bit strict
When you live as neat as this, it becomes easy to see where everything belongs. There's a difference between an item having a random place in a drawer, and an item having a specific labeled place in a drawer. But you do need to live with people who have the same principles as yourself, when it comes to maintaining a home. You don't want to act like a dad or mom to your roommate, that's not fun for anyone.
4 people in an 800 sq ft apartment??? How???
The mood of the apartment, the chill background music and even your calm voice make this video a pleasure to watch. Good job man!
Finally something other than white!!
You crushed it. Interior design is phenomenal. Love the minimalist clean modern/Scandinavian look. Both worlds combined together bring minimalism and warmth under one roof - integrating practicality and livability. Definitely will learn from this for my set up. thank you. Oh, and the presentation is beyond first class.
This is so therapeutic!
i just bought a condo and have been watching videos all month. i could NOT find anything on youtube that fits my aesthetic, until I found your video. This is such a great condo to reference when I decorate my own. Thank you!
The IKEA shoe cabinet is a gamechanger!!
This was an extremely well-done, calming apartment tour. The time you put into it to film and edit paid off well. I have never been this amazed. Job well done! I'm glad I came across your channel
you took all the words out my mouth sis 👏
@@MrsGojo right?! So satisfying.
The first minimalistic appartment i would love to live in. Most others look like prisons, some of them doesn't have beds.
Although not minimal...
The headboard concept alone is the best I’ve seen ever! I need it.
Hands down the best apartment tour I've seen in a while such amazing cinematography. I could listen to you talk all day your voice is soothing. lol Oh, how I wish you could help me decorate my place the aesthetic is so nice!
Thank You! Would probably love to do that someday, designing homes other than my own :D
The product listing at the end played like credits to an incredible movie. So well edited, and such a lovely space!
I love how different your apartment is compared to the first tour you gave, amazing what a few simple additions can do to and for a space. Also, appreciate the callout on the various items in the designated spaces.
This is exactly how I would want my apartment to look.
Absolutely stunning and well thought out. I've watched quite a few apartment and room tours, but this one I've watched over and over. Love the style and organization. Nicely done!
I absolutely love the workstation setup. Especially tiny details like installing an under-the-table, out-of-sight drawer to avoid cluttering the table and achieving a 'clean' look. The whole decor was an organizer's dream come true.
You have fantastic taste and a keen eye for interior design. This was one of the best apartment tours I've ever seen!
Wow I love how clean organized and sleek everything is. I've never seen such an apartment tour like this one before ❤️❤️❤️
I absolutely love everything about your apartment. No clutter and Not too minimal
That was something that I noticed too. It was not too minimal. I enjoyed that he had everything he needed. Not only did he show us “what” he had, but we were told “why.” Again, thanks for a calm tour at just the right speed and volume. I loved the whole calm vibe which included him at the end of the day enveloped by a cozy blanket, chilling next to an amazing view. What a way to end the day!
Wow ...one of the most well organised men I must say . Everything is so nicely set and organised 👍🏻
OMG! This is so calming to watch. This is the definition of organized, love it!!
The effort put into designing your apartment and this video is amazing! I especially loved the way you labelled the items at the end
I’ve been watching a lot of apartment tour videos lately as I prepare to move. This is hands down the best one I have seen so far. The design and practical tips are wonderful and I appreciated the products overview at the end. Your voice is so soothing, I could watch this video again and again. I saved the video for future reference. You have a new subscriber.
LOVE it! The interior design, attention to detail and curation quality in this video is a MASTERPIECE 👌🏾
Hands down the best apartment tour I've seen in awhile I grabbed a lot of ideas I will be using to decorate my next place omg ❤️❤️❤️ you did an amazing job on your place. I felt at home watching this 🙏🏾💯🔥
This is so impressive. You have given me ideas to use in my studio apartment. I appreciate how clean and well organized you are.
I just found this video. There are so many fantastic ideas you've incorporated in your apartment. Thanks so much for posting.
I thought I was organized, wow, you inspire me to be better!
Best tour ever. Just straight down to the point. Not showing things, but only layouts. In addition, I like how you keep your home organized and cozy.
Ive been dreaming this kind of space of my own. I'm obsessed with the black colors & the combination in your unit and how it is kept organized.
Honestly you content is top notch. You deserve a TV show
The most clean fresh detailed apartment tours i ever seen btw love you organize the things love to see video about that 🥺
I’m definitely forcing my man to watch this video 🤭 he can learn so much
I am so happy to find this channel!! Gives me plenty of design ideas for my apartment and makes me so calm at the same time 😍
It's a great example of the minilamist ascetic. I adore the use of warm lighting and the ceiling to floor view.
I love every single thing about this video. And the apartment is soooo beautiful and tastefully decorated
The production quality on this is insane!
Similar layout to my house and this is what I have been searching for some ideas for my house makeover. Minimalism is the best.. thank you KZhead to bring me to this awesome channel 😘
One of the best aesthetically minimalistic interiors
Your apartment is decorated so nicely. This video is so calm and relaxing 😌
You did such an amazing job with setting up your apartment! Everything is so chic and well organised! I love the mix of high and low end , you literally made everything look high end!
Thank You! I think the camera angle plays a role in making it look more flattering 😅
@@reynardlowell This video was beautiful. Can you please give more info about how you control the lighting thru your phone? I would so much appreciate it.
I love your decorating style. Warm, inviting and chic. Beautiful.
I love every details about this tours. So explicit
Wow. I’ve watched apartments tour but THIS. The filming, editing and the apartment it self looks amazing!
Thanks! Glad you liked it!!
Wow I’m so glad I found you! This is exactly what I needed and what I envisioned for my apartment. I plan on de-cluttering and redecorating soon! Thank you for sharing! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thank You!! Glad it was helpful!
I just discovered that I'm a minimalist and like organisation, so this for me, gets me excited to get my own place, though I'm still 16😂 can't help seeing my place like this. The lights and their settings are my favourite!! They just set the mood perfectly , and the plants just give a feeling of nature and coziness along with the wooden textures and very calm colours .. I LOVE LOVE LOOOVE!!!!
Even his voice is minimalist 😎.
Congratulations! your apartment looks great. I love it
Thank You!

I've never seen a place thats beautiful and organised like this before!
This is giving me Monika Geller vibes but it's way more calming and clean. 💕
Haha that's a huge compliment. I like to think I'm not as ocd as her :D
Your apartment is so inspiring. I especially loved the lighting. The video is excellent as well. The product walk through at the end was very helpful.
Thanks! The walk through took a while for me to edit but glad it helped 😊
This is amazing👏🏾 I've been binge watching all your videos and now want to redecorate my whole house 😁thank you for your incredible ideas
So tidy & yet warm feeling. Love to have a home like this.😍😍

Wait on!!!!! This looks like my bu8lding too, I have the same view?????????? What area is this please?only because I have the same layout
super organized and detailed apartment tour. The choice of music kinda relaxes me. Great Job! New Subscriber here!
What a beautiful sanctuary you have created! I love how you used a phone ring holder for the bathroom mirror cabinet. I appreciate how you show that everything has an intentional place, when the concept is utilized it makes everything thing so much easier. The video was a great pace and I enjoyed the music. I loved how you showed the floor plan first and then went into each room. I’m looking forward to watching your other videos. What a beautiful view of Sydney, enjoy! Thank you!
Haha the phone ring holder came from a random aha moment! I agree that having a place for everything definitely makes life so much easier. So glad to hear you enjoyed the video!
The most beautiful apartment decor! From all the videos i watched!
Now THIS is what you call an A+ apartment tour! Absolutely loved how you included details of purchased products towards the end. Btw, I have the same hamper from Amazon 😂
Your voice is soo soothing you'd be soo good with ASMR
Thank You! 😊

@Van Hamza Flixportal
@Yosef Brecken Thank you, I signed up and it seems to work :) Appreciate it !!
This is an amazing tour, your space is beautiful. I have never felt so calm.
You bring your experience to us, truly room tour!
My dream apartment! 😍
What amazing video. I actually thought you had 100k subs. Which is honestly what you deserve and probably more. But I'm sure you soon will. These videos are absolutely amazing. Please keep going.
Thank You. Too kind! Working to get there one day 💪 Will keep the videos coming.
Wow. Amazing. Amazing. Amazing. Alot of brilliant ideas. I like the use of different light
Love your style particularly the way lighting is used and the organisation, very stylish and cohesive.
Very nice quality, deserves more views!
Thanks! Fingers crossed KZhead will recommend it more.
This is SO clean wow! My ocd is letting me feel satisfied! ❤️
Haha that's my secret. I always make sure to rewatch after editing and make sure my ocd is satisfied.
You have such a beautiful, well organized and calming apartment.
This guy went HAM in the Ikea plant department. But really, this is really nice. I like it. Wish I had a place like this.
I love everything,! May I ask where the tv mount is from or what it is called? Ty
Me searching for this! Your house is wonderful, are you interior designer by chance? Something else I appreciated was you making the extreme effort of telling us where the items are from and etc. You deserve more viewers seriously. And don't forget to remember me when you're famous!
You're too kind! It's just a passion of mine, I've always had a thing for architecture and interior design, especially when it comes to home. Don't worry, I'll always remember the people who commented and supported from the beginning ;)
@@reynardlowell Are you saying this is just a hobby??? You have an amazing eye for detail, style, practicality, and calm. I’ve always heard the saying, “your gift will make room for you.” My is your gift knocking down doors to make room for your beautiful talent. Please keep doing this. The world needs your point of view!
Absolutely one of the best videos I've seen! This is amazing 😍🙌🏾
The ring on the mirror is a good idea 👍🏻
