Beautiful 600 ft² Apartment for 2 People with 2 Small Home Offices - FULL TOUR

My & Phu are giving us a full tour of their beautiful 1-bedroom apartment in Montreal. The apartment is 600 square feet, which gives them space to have two home offices in the living room since they both work from home. They are comfortable minimalists which means they aren't sacrificing on comfort, but they are trying to keep things simple and not own too much stuff. They moved to Montreal last year because rent for this newly renovated apartment was nearly half of what they were paying in Toronto for a smaller apartment.

Not everyone can relocate so easily, and there is no one-size-fits-all solution to the rising cost of housing. Moving is just one idea that could help some folks cope with the rising cost of housing where they live. Some questions we can all ask ourselves: is it possible to move to a smaller space, to a cheaper neighbourhood, or even to a cheaper city to find more affordable housing?

Keep in mind that it's not always the cost of housing alone that should be considered. Transportation can be a huge factor as well! For example, if you move to a cheaper neighbourhood but then you need a car, then you might not be saving as much as you initially thought!

Thanks for watching!

They created a beautiful space for themselves. The fact that it’s half the price they paid for their previous apartment is definitely a good thing. ❤❤

[myphuhome]

Thank you for featuring us. It was nice meeting you ❤

A sign of the times that young couples, both with jobs, have to live in such a small space. Tiny spaces is a compromise because of rising costs. If people could afford it, they would choose more space. Even the guy in this video talks about how he's happy to have more storage than before.

[KalpeshMange]

Never seen minimalism so well understood and also feels like someone else can make an endeavour like this to do. ❤

[rvnut]

Very smart decisions, they have everything they need and nothing they don’t. Good job!

[GregCurtin]

tHANK YOU Mat for always bringing us genuine stories or personal success. Their home is beautiful and together, they are a lovely couple. May you both continue to find happiness in your world. Thank you for sharing your home with all of us.

Everything being so bright and open makes it both cozy and super inviting. I’d love to have a place like that.

Beautiful space, functional layout, delightful couple 💑

Thank you so much for showcasing smaller spaces! It’s so nice to get layout and decor ideas from people who have similar spaces to mine. It takes a lot of creativity to make one apartment function as a home, office, gym, and entertaining/hosting spot 😅

[lauralynnfowler]

it's lovely, I wish I was as organized and minimal. I love that the bedroom is free of work and tv.

[jennybanana]

Very nice and such a sweet couple! Thanks for sharing, you always bring the best stories.

[gkreyl]

Beautifully and thoughtfully decorated.

It’s so cute how proud they are about their new home. I think it is a great example of the great relief escaping “rent burdened” lifestyle. Young people want urban lifestyle, but that exposes them to housing inflation bubbles.
Montreal is an underrated city kept affordable by the French/English divide and the feirce winters.

Wonderful fresh and positive re-start. Wishing this lovely young couple much fulfillment.

[DD-ihwn]

Congrats to this wonderful couple on your new beautiful space. All the best to you two.

[idaxurais]

OMG she is so adorable and creative 🫶🏽 House looks amazing

[Dinsdale]

Very well done. Having such nice people is definitely Montreal’s gain. 😉👍👍🙏

[tanbl]

What a lovely minimalistic home, a cosy haven for two!

I do wonder by what kind of wizardry I knew at first glance, before she started talking, that they were in Montréal. Maybe the specific look of the old windows and the heating metal thing on the wall? The feel of the apartment? A burst of nostalgia and "homey feeling"? It's unreal how I just knew. I never even lived in Montréal, just visited lots of friends and family over the years. That was eerie.
Love their apartment. Of course I love it. Kudos on the move!
