Minimalist Rental Apartment Tour | Sydney 904ft2-84m2

Hi, my name is Reynard and this is my two-bedroom rental apartment in Sydney, Australia. I work as an IT analyst and run a digital publication called Minimal Select. I live here with my girlfriend and two other roommates. The unit has an open floor plan with total internal size of 84 square meters. While an open floor plan gives a more spacious and airy feel, we still find it important to create zones which is then divided into dining, living, office, and kitchen. The starting color palette consists of black and white which we then added some contrast through the use of greeneries and extra warmth with the use of cream and natural bamboo. A hint of gold, orange, and terracotta accent can also be found throughout the living area. Living in a rental means we have to try minimize holes in the wall so we've opted to use 3M picture hang tabs for all our arts. We also wanted to float our TV to get the appropriate height and a cleaner look so we decided to get a floor TV stand and hide the glass base underneath our console table. The console also hides all our cables. The stand comes with a swivel feature so we can watch TV while eating or having breakfast. I've paired this with an affordable soundbar to elevate our movie watching experience. While the apartment is great in daytime with plenty of natural light, we find the built-in ceiling lights to be very harsh for night time. We installed several floor and table lamps throughout the apartment to be able to get softer lighting and create a more relaxing atmosphere to wind down to after a long day. The kitchen has a big marble island which provides plenty of space for preparation. We both love cooking so we always try to keep the kitchen area clutter free. To save space and get easy access to frequently used spices, we've installed a magnetic spice rack to the side of the fridge. The entry houses the laundry, storage and shoe box. We've created a little mudroom where we store most of the heavy jackets. Shoes are stored in a shoe box which also double as a hallway table to store our keys. The bedroom has a built-in closet with mirror sliding doors. Inside is where we store most of our bags and clothing. We then installed strip lighting at the back of the headboard for ambient lighting at night time. Thanks for watching.
