A look inside a 10 sq m Japanese girl's rental apartment, where her whole life runs on just one basket
What Xiaolu wants to share with you today
is a 10 sq m Japanese girl's small rental home.
While others are still competing over buying power,
she is like a breath of fresh air,
and her small home contains almost nothing but these things.
She advocates minimalism, owning only essential items,
because with no other clutter to interfere,
the small home truly belongs to her alone!
1. Minimalist living: less is more
A thick mattress is the bed,
propped up against the wall during the day,
which makes the room feel even fresher.
Sometimes our lives
are always occupied by all kinds of clutter,
and the home no longer completely belongs to us.
Sometimes the less we own,
the more possibilities life has,
and we don't have to worry about tidying up.
Apart from the mattress,
the one thing essential to her life
is this basket by the wall,
because its versatility
is what brings her such a colourful life.
2. Her whole life needs just one basket
Actually, there are many things in life we can let go of,
such as the bed, chairs, bedside table and coffee table,
and everything else we need in daily life can be replaced by a basket.
Move the basket to the bedside and it becomes a bedside table,
whether in height or size,
it fits perfectly.
This woven basket
is used to store some everyday items,
and can also double as a coffee table.
Her home has no stools, and the bed is not high either,
so when she sits on a cushion,
the height is just right.
It can also be used as a computer desk,
drinking a glass of milk and binge-watching shows in the evening.
As a dining table,
enjoying a romantic dinner for one,
even tofu can taste like French romance.
3. Minimal possessions, a richer life
Does a minimalist life mean it will be monotonous and dull?
Not only is that not the case, it is actually even richer!
Because with no other clutter,
she can focus even more on the things she loves.
Watching movies on a projector at night,
with no furniture or other items in the way,
projects better onto the wall.
Because there are few things,
the sunlight outside the window pours in more fully,
soaking up the sun and reading a book at sunset is also a romantic life for one.
Having a little drink by the bed at night
is also a life full of charm.
This minimalist life of less is more,
do you find it desirable?
