A Small Modern Condo With Genius Storage Ideas — Small Space Interior Design

Designer Dan Marentic shares a look inside his minimalist 685-square-foot condo that’s filled with smart storage ideas and space-saving solutions. See how he maximizes every square foot.

“Though still very small, my new condo has considerably more head room than my sister’s garage (and it’s warmer!). Many of the same storage challenges existed here, but I’ve tried to take advantage of every nook and cranny and add a few unique details as well,” says Dan. In the kitchen, additional storage hides bulky appliances, while a natural stone quartz island provides extra prep space. Multifunctional furniture increases seating in the small living room, where a mod fireplace and quirky artwork inject personality. Storage is maximized in the bedroom with custom built-ins, and the den doubles as as a second bedroom and home office thanks to a Murphy bed.

WHERE TO BUY:
Kitchen: Custom island, Scavolini (color: Titanium Grey); Custom island stone, Ciot (color/type: Quarzo Bianco Precious Stone); Stools, MDF “Flow”; Light above island, Vibia “Match 003”; Wall hooks, Tom Dixon “Knobs”.

    Love the place but those pictures dipped in paint are just dumb looking.

  3. Francisca Reyes on November 29, 2021 at 11:46 am

    The fireplace looks like a giant CCTV

    It is me, but whenever I see the cement floors/walls, to me this is not much different than a hat with no water or electricity. Looks cold and unfinished and not much can be done with it.

    there are some innovating ideas

  7. 周毛毛 on November 29, 2021 at 11:54 am

  8. Jennifer Prevost on November 29, 2021 at 11:54 am

    This is very nice but a little sterile to me. Looks like a neat freak! That’s okay though. Needs to relax a wee bit but it is still very nice.

    Hi Sir….I m from India
    I loved the way you done the Interior in the Condo.

  15. 2Bdiscovered on November 29, 2021 at 11:57 am

    I LOVE MODERN, BUT FOR SOME REASON, THIS SPACE DOESN’T FEEL COMFY OR COZY TO ME. IT FEELS LIKE A MUSEUM.

  16. Camelia P on November 29, 2021 at 11:58 am

    "Every good livingroom should have a fireplace"…NO. I never understood what a fireplace have to do in a (small) city condo ? Firstly …took too much space, secondly has fake flames, no really wood smell… definitely I see no reason to have one. When I go skiing I rent a place with real fireplace. My pleasure to stay around a good fireplace remains intact. But a surrogate one…no thanks. At least for me.

    The cloud LED are cool! Where did you get that?

  18. Tabatha Ogost on November 29, 2021 at 12:04 pm

    Appliance garage

  29. mai9 on November 29, 2021 at 12:15 pm

    Somebody tell this designer that the fridge didn’t need to open more than 90 degrees, you can change which side opens.

  30. Homa Mousavi on November 29, 2021 at 12:15 pm

    I LOVE this design. One of my absolute favorites.

  31. Lakeisha Campbell on November 29, 2021 at 12:15 pm

    The fireplace is the most unique of this home design

  32. Mike O on November 29, 2021 at 12:16 pm

    Where can I buy the fire place?

  33. Daniel Vergara on November 29, 2021 at 12:17 pm

    Idk why but his place gives me sad depressing vibes.

  34. chris columbia on November 29, 2021 at 12:18 pm

    Does anyone have a link to the live edge coffee table? I can’t find it on the Elite website, or anywhere else for that matter. THANKS.

  35. Jess Cuz on November 29, 2021 at 12:19 pm

    The kitchen is what I wish I would have done with my pantry. To have gotten them to install a plug back there so I can tuck away big appliances

  36. Viktor Miklya on November 29, 2021 at 12:20 pm

    superlike

  37. tyest adams on November 29, 2021 at 12:20 pm

    Talk a bit rushed I have to slow the video down

  40. Rudy Chon on November 29, 2021 at 12:23 pm

    Its not a micro apartment. I liked the colour palette but not the chairs, sofa and kitchen chairs. Everything else spot on.

  41. Jean-Claude de Shablé on November 29, 2021 at 12:24 pm

    Absolutely beautiful …

  42. Ryan Eeswaran on November 29, 2021 at 12:30 pm

    Lunar landing photographs from 1969? Wow, You mean the cheap studio that they filmed the hoax in? Yea that’s cool
    When I visit someone proud of that shit, it gives me the feeling that he is either untrustworthy or brainwashed

  43. Gar Mallinson on November 29, 2021 at 12:32 pm

    Well done!

  44. jojoelephant on November 29, 2021 at 12:34 pm

    Great content! Interesting as Malbarosa & Co videos that I’ve seen. You may check it out https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCq90JkmyOBN165Mia9lmXWw

    The moment I saw the Eames Sofa Compact, I was riveted looking at his other choices. Anyone who has owned one will probably always own one or two. The size of an average loveseat, but room for 3-4, super sturdy, suitable for sleeping, easily recovered — as a hint: buy one that needs to be redone and purchase LATEX foam rubber. It makes all the difference in the world and will not flatten.

    Love the kitchen. The light fixture above the island reminds me of a Newton’s Cradle (clacker balls).

    Really like the two vintage "sofa art" pieces that are voided. Awesome! I’m mixed on the "Ashtray Fireplace," but love the wall and concealed door behind it.

    I was very curious when he mentioned his fiancé is "she." Doesn’t look like much of a woman’s touch in that space.

  48. Sonal Pattnayak on November 29, 2021 at 12:37 pm

    Sofa not great

  49. BadGalSmashh on November 29, 2021 at 12:39 pm

  50. fransira on November 29, 2021 at 12:40 pm
