Small Apartment Tour - Life in a Beautiful 470 ft² Perfectly Sized Space

In this video, we're touring a lovely and perfectly sized 1-bedroom apartment in Toronto that is 470 square feet. Each room is very carefully designed to use just the right amount of space and not an inch more. Yet it has everything from a washer and dryer, a full kitchen, a cozy living room, a bedroom with a work-from-home office desk, and an en suite bathroom. There's just the right amount of storage with three closets, clever cabinets in the kitchen and bathroom, and open shelving that Janet added throughout her home, as well as a storage unit in the building for seasonal or bulky items.

You can follow Janet (and check out her amazing piano and uke covers) on YouTube here:

In an era when we're seeing both extremely large and extremely tiny living spaces, we think it's important to recognize a perfectly sized home like this one that creates a comfortable and healthy living space without going too far in either direction.

Thanks for watching!

Wow! You have a washer and dryer, plenty of sunshine a generous size kitchen and you have organized your apartment beautifully

What a nice Condo! So nice to have a In Suite Laundry, extra Closets and a Peninsula. We just moved to a 400 square feet and are incredibly blessed to have In Suite Laundry! 💕🙏

I really really needed to see her balcony/patio. That is a huge factor for me in any size living space.

We bought a home that was 480 sq ft, 2 bedrooms 1 bathrooms. Very small but the layout made it very efficient no wasted space. Loved that little house.

She has this set up so nicely. Good job. Looks so cozy

[Becca_Lynn]

What a cute space! I love her sense of style ❤

[Julia-zjch]

Removing the sliding closet doors and replacing them with curtains or a shade that rolls up would make access to the inside of the closet much more convenient and useful. It is a lovely space.

[leanneadams]

I think it’s super cute and perfect for her and her style ! She seems like a very upbeat and sweet person !! ❤️🏡

[hallmanager]

Wow! I love her style - I'm going to try and copy everything she's done. Such a cosy, welcoming place to live.

[FrugalFinley]

Thanks so much for documenting these stories. I personally believe everyone benefits from hearing these alternatives ways of living that don't feel too alien to adopt. Stop buying and start living folks!

Perfect size kitchen and island for small space, cute space.

I watch a lot of the small space tours. They’re helped me see most of us don’t need a big kitchen. I don’t think I ‘ve turned on my oven more than a handful of times in the last decade. I never use more than 2 burners at a time. And most of my cupboards house junk. I could easily go smaller there.

[musicismylove]

Such a cozy and beautiful space! Everything seems purposeful and still cute and homey

[Gwen-joyful-light]

Love the kitchen and my favorite is the stove location and the fact that they builder made sure to add a stove hood.

[nononono]

For such small spaces a portable induction cooktop with two heaters might be better than a built-in one, and a 24” oven instead of 30 (maybe it is 24, can’t tell). An in-building laundry space would be nice for those who don’t mind not having one in their apartment. Washer-dryer is also an option but slower to dry.

you seem like a true creator. beautiful room, beautiful hobbies!

We've enjoyed exploring all kinds of housing types over the years, and in an era when we're seeing both extremely large and extremely tiny living spaces, we think it's interesting to check out a perfectly sized home (apartment/condo) like this one that creates a comfortable living space without going too far in either direction. If you're interested in seeing other small spaces in the city, we have an apartment tour playlist here:

Very nice Apt - thank you for sharing 😊

[Magical_Trash]

I love all the clever space saving hacks 🥰 Whoever designed this apartment, clearly designed it with a living human being in mind. 😍 Unlike the coffin-esqe apartments in nyc. 😣
