Aiming for Neat and Tidy. Look mom - No Clutter
Spend more time doing what you enjoy and less time on household chores
and shopping for stuff you will junk in 18 months. You can finally de-clutter,
and determine what is truly important versus what is just “there” because
it is.
Being in a tiny apartment will make you to think about the value of other
things in your life. With fewer things to have to deal with, there will
be less for you to do to keep your living environment looking and feeling
great!
Small apartments are tidied faster
When it comes to comfort, living in a small apartment has the advantage
of it being easier to focus on making your environment comfortable and
appealing. It is far easier to create a cozy atmosphere, or to change the
decor or layout.
Easier to organize a small apartment
With much less room for extra things that can accumulate - when you live
in a small space, you will keep only what you really like or need, making
your apartment easier to organize and clean.
A small apartment easier to clean
The bigger your place, the more time it takes to clean or to maintain
it. If you enjoy your time and and don’t want to spend too much time and
energy achieving cleanliness and order, this is definitely my favourite
benefit of living in a small space.
You’ll have more free time because you’ll spend less time cleaning and
organizing.

Small apartments are easier to decorateYou can reflect your character
and style in a limited area, with just a few beautiful pieces to give your
apartment the look and effect you want. When it comes to decorating, you’ll
get more bang for your buck – And buy less junk. Because you will have
to think twice – before you buy.
Cheaper to furnish a small apartment (Maybe)It takes huge sums of
money to make a large space look warm, cozy and inviting. On the other
hand, small apartments make furnishing (and remodeling) much simpler and
more affordable. Instead of several pieces of large, expensive furniture,
you only need a few to emphasize your style, and you'll have enough money
left over for little things like candles and flowers.
You’ll save a lot of moneyYou’ll spend less cash on home décor because
you have nowhere to put it. Also, the smaller your space the smaller your
monthly bills - since it takes less energy to light up, heat up and cool
down your space.
A small apartment gives you the freedom from these financial issues by
letting you dramatically reduce your expenses, allowing you to spend more
money on week-end breaks and doing things you enjoy.
A simpler life and less stuff to clutter itMinimalism is almost a
must when living in a small space like a studio apartment. Becoming more
of a minimalist, you’ll simplify every aspect of your home life, with a
way easier time cleaning up and keeping track of your things.
So, you can be more creativeLiving in a small apartment requires some
creative thinking “inside the box”. Coming up storage space solutions is
one of them. You’ll get inspired to make your small space chic, and you’ll
get creative in decorating it to make it look bigger, brighter and less
confined.
Who knows? Maybe your mental health will improveIn the best-selling
book, “The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up” by Marie Kondo, she mentioned
that a clean living space is good for your mental health, while you aim
for: "once-cleaned, never-messy-again".
Also, a smaller space can provide you with the benefit of a greater sense
of control over your environment.You’ll find that you wont have to
play host to large groups of friends. If you want to entertain - do what
I do. Take them to a restaurant for lunch or dinner. And leave the mess
behind.
You save on spending NO time shopping for groceries and cooking them.
NO electricity spent on cooking. NO time on washing dishes. NO expense
on dish-washing liquid and hot water.
You’ll reduce your negative impact on the environment – what ever that
may mean to you.
BONUS - Relocating will be easier when it comes time to move on.
