Small Apartment Ideas – IKEA Home Tour (Episode 308)

Small Apartment Ideas – IKEA Home Tour (Episode 308)

Vivian and Dominic met while studying in England and now share a one bedroom one bathroom apartment in San Francisco. But they have found it challenging to have both of their lives in one small space that serves many functions, they feel it’s time to reclaim their home.

After four months of living in their tiny apartment, they don’t feel as if they are fully moved in and settled. Due to their bulky, mismatched furniture and lack of storage space, the small room feels cluttered. With a severe lack of surface area to prep in their kitchen, limited places to study, inadequate storage, and a lack of comfortable seating, Dominic and Vivian are having to constantly rearrange their crowded space. As they begin their life together in San Francisco, they are hoping that the IKEA Home Tour Squad can help them transform their space and get settled. The Squad’s addition of a STENSTORP kitchen island will create additional work space for the couple- allowing them to prep meals and get homework done while also storing bulky kitchen appliances below. The FINTORP utensil rails installed above the sink will get silverware and utensils off of the counters and onto the wall- freeing up drawer and storage space. By creating separate living areas into the apartment’s design, the Squad will be able to bring in elements of a much larger house. Using the Home Tour Squad’s small apartment ideas, Vivian and Dominic will create an efficient, welcoming space with plenty of storage and reclaim their home as they begin building a life together.

    need u own fantasies… not ikea

  8. Silverback Gorrilla on May 14, 2021 at 3:41 am

    I guarantee the house will immediately return to being a mess, because the problem is not the house, it’s the people living in it. Same as a highway enlargement just creates more traffic, so will this create more room for them to hoard stuff in.

  9. Mark Canlas on May 14, 2021 at 3:41 am

    music is too loud

  10. Yurko on May 14, 2021 at 3:42 am

  13. Mar kor on May 14, 2021 at 3:48 am

    Where did all the shoes and stuff in the cupboard go? Shelves were put in to create a study nook wuth a lil table but what hapoened to the old stuff in that cupboard?

  14. Nadia R on May 14, 2021 at 3:50 am

    the result is great. although i must say you have to live very minimalistic in a small place. having said that not many people can feel comfortable long term in a small space. i’m looking forward to moving from a small apartment to a townhouse next month.

  15. St John's Soup Kitchen on May 14, 2021 at 3:50 am

    Their space was lovely!

  16. Lets Build That App on May 14, 2021 at 3:51 am

    Just throwing away all that useless junk would’ve cleaned up a majority of the unit. And guess what, it only costs the grand total of FREE.

  17. Tommy Vercetti on May 14, 2021 at 3:51 am

  18. Siamese Flower on May 14, 2021 at 3:52 am

    Lovely couple!!!!!

  29. Kerrie Redgate on May 14, 2021 at 4:01 am

    This was a really efficient use of space! Hard to believe it was the same room. (I love the Vittsjö range — the little computer table here — I have almost all the pieces, including the shelf units—it’s so airy and Zen-like, and the glass tops really open up the space.)

  30. FlimsTV on May 14, 2021 at 4:04 am

    Weird couple

    That Algot is a really good shelving system, unfortunately ikea discontinued it and replaced it with the much less versatile Boaxel

  33. Kenith McIntosh on May 14, 2021 at 4:12 am

  34. XOKree on May 14, 2021 at 4:13 am

  39. Scott Brown on May 14, 2021 at 4:16 am

    I love the kitchen island and the living room rug!

  40. Tiger 123 on May 14, 2021 at 4:16 am

    Both seems to be lazy.. If u dont keep things at their place every day, house will become like this. Also there is no need to buy unnecessary things n keep it at home.. But positive thing is both must be fun loving

  41. Bingshan Nalan on May 14, 2021 at 4:19 am

    So ,they don’t need bed ?

  42. Russell From UP's Official Youtube Channel on May 14, 2021 at 4:25 am

    Why don’t you just hire an IKEA interior designer to remake your house instead of buying all of these things

  43. Christine Seaman on May 14, 2021 at 4:27 am

    How much are the people who make your furniture paid per hour?

  44. Ishwari p on May 14, 2021 at 4:28 am

    I was waiting to see the bed..

  45. Mommy Garcia on May 14, 2021 at 4:29 am

    Great space !! Great decor !!!

  46. Rita Santoni on May 14, 2021 at 4:29 am

    Home kaos

  47. Anna Escolano on May 14, 2021 at 4:29 am

    I need Ikea team to re decorate or even help me reorganize our 1 br apartment. Living on a wheelchair maybe challenging but I want my home to be stylish and functional and not like a hospital. 🙁 Been tryin out some ways to go around but it is really nice with the help of professionals.

  48. Estradajustdoit on May 14, 2021 at 4:30 am

  49. Evan Adams on May 14, 2021 at 4:31 am
