What an adorable apartment! It's perfect for someone young & single, living in such a beautiful city.

It’s funny how people in the rest of the world don’t insist on having a 5 bedroom house with a media room and other irrelevant stuff. I’ve lived in France and appreciate their practicality in terms of living.

It's everything you need. Good bathroom, full kitchen, enough storage, comfy game chair, big desk and a sofa bed. Why pay more? Why clean more? This is practical and sufficient. Many people can find their own place in a big city this way.

I would consider moving the bed where your table is, and the table & chair to the corner where the window is. Just a thought. Love your apartment, as one person you don't need anything bigger. ❤

He needs the plugs for the appliances. Honestly, sleeping next to the window is a great choice, looking outside and enjoying the light when you wake up in a small place is really beneficial, it helps you not feeling trapped. And for safety reasons, never sleep facing the front door. If someone breaks in, he doesn't see you right away, you get a move ahead to protect yourself.

I agree because then the bed won't be the first thing you see from the front door.

I like it very much. I lived in a studio with a click clack in Paris. It was not as comfortable as yours but I made it good for me. My sofa bed was really comfortable . I was shocked. I think it was a bit bigger place but a studio. I am American. Retired now. I live in a small house near a beach. I think it is fun to challenge yourself to have a place for everything and everything in it's place. I am very organized and tidy. I would live in the smallest place to be in Paris again. I enjoyed the tour.

Bonjour, Theo! I really like your small studio. I lived in a similar small studio many years and I know how creative and thoughtful you have to be. You also learn what are the things you really need and what things people but that are not necessary and get dust all the time. I wanted to suggest that perhaps you can put the desk on the other side, by the window, and the bed where the desk is. That way, you get more darkness for sleeping and more natural light when you work. You can even have that setting for winter and for summer change it to the setting you have now. :) If that change doesn’t cause too much trouble, of course. I think the desk by the window would work better for you and you also can relax your eyes by looking through the window from time to time or when your eyes feel tired, especially if there is a tree in front of that window. ❤

You can hang a mirror above your computer as a faux window from Maison du Monde so that you are not staring at a wall.

Change the position of the bed and the desk so that your are looking out of the window while you are working. then you could access the bookshelf more easily.

It is great that you have a bathroom and a kitchen. They make your life more comfortable.

I love this apartment. The kitchen is well equipped, and what about that washer? It's awesome! There's so much storage and the bathroom is amazing! I live tiny, and I could definitely live in a cute little apartment like that! Thanks for the tour!

At first I was terrified that he may not have a bathroom but tbh this is genius. Yes, a large comfortable bathroom makes a HUGE difference.

I agree what Loretta had to say. Moving the bed where the table is, specially in the winter time…you want your bed to be warm…

Thank you for sharing your home with us. Big homes are overrated. The more room you have, the more cleaning you have to do and you collect more clutter. You don’t have enough room to keep things you don’t need. I think you have all the comforts you need.🥰

Allo Theo! My studio is smaller than yours... small is best, you know where your stuff are, and you buy what you need, you make it cozy and adaptable to your needs. I am impressed that you have all the gadgets, air fryer, coffeemaker,oven, washmachine. ...I would love to have your apartment! It is small but very comfortable. Just an idea, may be you could move your books in one of the closets, and with the library try to make a lower wheeled side desk ( so you can move it out of the corner if you want ), so you can use it as an " extra" mini low desk for your laptop, meals, or put your coffee and snacks on it, while you are watching your favourite films lying on your sofa bed, and the lightning on the wall, so at night it looks cozy as well. Anyway, I would call it a "little and cozy Palace" , because it has everything what you need. We love Paris too!! greetings from London

This style of apartment, with the smooth lines hiding the storage behind, has been favourable among developers here in England in our 'new-build' homes during the past 10 years.

The train ticket that enables travel into and around all of London from my location costs £4476/€5525/$5699 per year. So, if you want/need to work in London but can't afford to live there, you have to factor these figures into into your annual salary.

I'm surprised that your refrigerator is so big for such a small apartment. The videos I've seen of other small Paris apartments have tiny fridges with no freezer.

Great little place, you have everything you need, for a full life. When you want a bit more dressed up space, you could add curtains, frame your art and add some smaller lights, like a table lamp on your desk, or a lamp on the wall near your bed. And perhaps an accent pillow and/or a throw on your bed. Even a small carpet could add some more warmth. But you already did a good job so far. I live in a small 2 bedroom apartment of 44 sqm/473 sqft in a small town in the Netherlands. I pay around 500,- euro per month. That does not include water, gas and electricity. One of my small bedrooms is my art studio. I live here for over 27 years now, I am almost 58 years old. I have a boyfriend, but we don't live together. So I have the whole "palace" for myself...

Hi Theo! You have a great apartment for what I would consider a decent price for a major international city like Paris. Lucky you! I live in a house in Florida that I pay a mortgage for. My mortgage is currently $1300 (about €1200) which includes taxes and insurance but not other utilities. It's a small house by American standards (about 88.25 square meters or 950 square feet) but it's a good size for my household. I have 3 bedrooms (1 used as an office), 1 bathroom (with bathtub and shower). Small kitchen by US standards, but very user friendly. I have a full size stove and oven, full size refrigerator with a freezer, a dishwasher, clothes washing machine and clothes dryer in my kitchen. Also a lot of storage! I have a very large garden where I can grow vegetables as a hobby and I have a small pool as well. I live in a good neighborhood where I can easily walk places (this is rare for the US, especially in Florida where I live). When I was younger (2012), I rented a small apartment in a nice area of Miami while I attended undergraduate classes at university. It was bigger than your apartment but it did not have a clothes washing machine. I paid $1200 (€1100) for rent including utilities at that time. I felt very lucky then! I don't even want to know what the rent on that Miami apartment would be now! Thank you for sharing! I appreciate seeing how other people live around the world. Cheers Theo!

Good thinking! One important aspect that you don't touch upon is that living in a small space actually prevents you from accumulating a lot of (usually unnecessary) stuff.

C’est trop beau et pratique appartement. Je suis d’accord avec vous Théo. Bon continuation 😊

I lived many many years in a 12 sq meter in Paris, I regret this place, I was happy, and the cost was affordable. because it was under a roof into a courtyard so at 3th floor. I arrange the space by putting colors on each wall to define each space/corner , then with white or natural wood furnitures. It was great !

Living simply is the best way to live. You and your lovely apartment are a testimony to that.

I’m thinking it’s almost twice the cost of my home in UK. But I think it’s perfect as cities get more people there’s a need for more homes. To often in the UK we went the bigger homes which leaves less room for new buildings. The other good thing about your home is it’s cheaper to heat, uses less power and as we get older it’s all on one level and much better to keep clean. Thanks for the brilliant tour .

Super! I love how you’ve made the space work for you. It looks so cosy and I’m sure it’s even nicer at night when you have a dim light on. I can’t believe the cost of your rent but I guess that’s the price of being in a good location in Paris.

Salut Théo. C'est intéressent. I love this studio! Especially the cupboards and the washing machine. Good use of storage and use Théo! The price is a bit high, but the washing machine, storage and location costs as much these days... This is a lot like the studio I had as a student (here in Switzerland), but I had communal washing. But mine was 18 square meters, plus 4 square meters for the bathroom/entry/kitchenette, so quite a bit larger. But mine wasn't as modern. Mine costet 600€, but 20 years ago. What could be added if needed, is rollings storage baskets for under the bed, and foldable side table/ or a foldable pop-up table made of wood. Like that you can have coffee in bed without any worry about crumbs. I like that you can transform the clic-clac into sofa, if you need more floor space.

Nice apartment! Thank you for the video!
