I haven’t watched for a while- you mention joy of living alone but last I checked you had a partner? Anyhow I hope you are happy nonetheless and I wish you joy ❤

So nice!

Sticky-backed door and counter top coverings gets rid of all the awful stuff landlords insist on installing. My fugly brown mottled worktop is now a beautiful pale grey marbled worktop and cost me just £9/$10 in total for the rolls. It's been on for two months up to now and shows no signs of scratches, no lifting, no bubbling, and the beauty of it, it just peels off leaving no sticky residue or damage. I'm actually amazed that this cheap stuff from Temu transformed the whole look. If my cupboard doors had been disgusting brown, I would've covered those too, but luckily they're decent.

I love this! I have a very grey kitchen and it bums me out. I bet I could brighten it up with some blues and greens.

The cat!!

Thanks!

Beautiful, love the contrast of a raunchy city in the back but pure peace and bliss on the inside

The TV in layout one looks like it might be on a full motion mount so it can be pulled out and turned to where you are when your watching it.

Do you do anything for a holiday decorating

This is perfect. I literally just moved into a new apartment. And the kitchen is brown, brown, and more brown

It is amazing how attached you are to a couch and a large bed. both are not the best uses of space

I started watching you a few years ago and manifesting my first apartment. Excited to say I'll move into my first studio in a couple weeks! Thank you for all the amazing tips!

My apartment kitchen is the most beige/brown I’ve ever had. Those colors absolutely depress me. So I resisted! I put a light green pearls dangling succulent on the top of the cabinets, and that was my inspiration. Nothing went into the kitchen that wasn’t these colors. You have ample counterspace! 😊 I have no room for vases/fake Plants/dried flowers. So, not a black Gevalia, but an Aqua one, A light blue cutting board with medium blue trim, propped up, Two light blue ceramic canisters (one for dog treats, the other for cookies), A dish towel from the dollar store that has a pleasant light blue light green pattern hung over a lower brown cabinet door, Dawn Into a clear donut shaped spray bottle with light green sprayer top, another matching clear donut with hand soap and aqua top, A light blue/light green, nonslip, Burber kitchen rug, An aqua ball crystal dangling in the small window. Now, when anyone enters my kitchen (including me), the brown doesn’t even occur to them.

For some of us, decor on a shoestring budget happens. For a while I bought the nicest in store bottles I could save for and modified those to be decorative. I.e. wrap dawn soap bottles in wrinkled tin foil, add texture, spray paint them to make them match my kitchen. If you have no space for utilities, find ways to make them pretty until you can find ways to hide them.

Very calming and so pretty, like your style❤😊

I actually like the cabinets and backsplash,you styled it very nicely too!!😊

Hi, I am currently building mine, it's a kitchen, bedroom and bathroom and now I enjoy watching these kind of videos, so my kitchen is separate, then it's my bedroom, and my bathroom, sort of in a straight line, with dividers

A cat is the best kitchen/home decor ever 😊. I personally have 3 for mine lol, so love your pretty little kitty kitchen addition 🤗

My kitchen is about the size of your previous kitchen in the studio flat you had and I had to get a rolling cart type thing with a large chopping board on top to use as extra worktop space. I just have to keep moving it about as I move around the kitchen. It’s a bit of a pain, but it works 🤷‍♀️. Where’s your kettle, or do you just use a coffee machine? ☕️ 💐

I've managed to find a similar resin and wood tray using circle to search with Samsung AI. Thank you for the inspiration, and your puddy tat is beautiful.

Love Baby's name ❤❤❤

What's the Baby's name???❤❤❤

I've really needed help with my kitchen. Thank you for this video, Steffi!

Do you miss your studio ?

I like my little kitchen, but counter space is frustratingly limited. So is storage space, for that matter, but that’s another story. So I can’t really do plants and stuff on the counter top. I keep the counter as uncluttered as possible, but I try to make sure the things I do have on display (spatula holder, cutting boards, etc) are stylish and attractive as well as practical.

This video has the perfect blend of humor and facts.

Why not just sleep on sofa bed? Less clutter

Your kitchen actually has a lot of counterspace and cabinets for its size. If you look at real estate listings, you will see that they removed virtually everything off the counters to make them look bigger. I love how you styled them. Shopping for my home is also my happy place. I'm more likely to spend on my house than on myself.

I always hated my kitchen. But ever since I decorated it with whimsical things, birds, plants and dinosaurs I love my kitchen 😂

I've generally had small kitchens. My current kitchen in my under 400 sq ft studio is roughly 7x8.5 feet or just under 60 sq ft. Since my niche is small space living and/or things that work for the neurodiverse/chronically disorganized, I tend a bit more towards the functional/practical end, as opposed to the decorative (and keep kosher, so things are clearly divided between dairy/meat/parve or neutral). I seek to live in beauty, however. I used to have a lot more things on my counters and then have very little space for food prep. Sometimes we tell ourselves that we need to have all these things out for "reasons" (like object permanence, or lack of storage, etc). Sometimes that's true, and sometimes there are tweaks we can make. For example, my aqua mini Keurig machine sits out on my dairy counter but my drink station stuff is all in the cabinet immediately above. All the coffee stuff is corralled neatly in a small white rectangular IKEA storage container, which I can't find on the IKEA website for some reason. I have several of them in my pantry cupboard and use another one in the fridge for all my cheese. Four days of Trixie's dog food fits in a white canister with a bamboo lid (similar to your coffee one) and looks cute out, but I keep more of her food elsewhere, behind closed doors. In the summer I bring my big dairy toaster oven back from my storage and it takes up space on my counter. However, it's too useful not to have it there! (I avoid using the gas oven in summer, due to how it heats the already hot kitchen!) When I no longer need it, the toaster oven goes back to storage (which is *hundreds of dollars* cheaper per month than renting a larger place would be). One styling tip would be that you usually don't see outlets in magazine photos of kitchens. That's because stylists place cutting boards or trays or vases in front of them. So, if you don't like the look of your outlets, you can hide them.

Your kitchen looks so warm and inviting .,No matter what design style your kitchen is, there is one thing that always looks timeless and elegant on the counters, and that's a cat.

Always love your styling in every room.

Hi Steffi, hi Hilo. This is great advice, a true small apartment decor channel. Thank you for sharing 🌿

Kitchen towels and swabs can also be pretty. Wash up brushes need to be put away, but it irritates me to always look in the cupboard when I need them . They unsightly on the kitchen sink. My dish rack is large and sturdy. But I think that it needs to go. Its functional but so ugly.. My cupboard space is too limited to put my rack away. Thank you Steffi.

I would like advice on the unavoidable kitchen trash can. I cannot afford a pretty one of course and cannot fathom a tiny trash for under the sink, so what would you recommend for a tiny kitchen that needs a big trash can on a budget?

Looks great! Suggestions for the counter: I think that the tall vase should go with the short vase into the opposite corner where the towel holder is now, and you should get a small , maybe round tray to hold the remaining things (soap, towel holder, little dish, diffuser) to create “collections” for cohesion.

Thank you for watching! How do YOU make your kitchen pretty? Are there any kitchen styling principles that you live by that I didn't mention? ✨

I love this!! So relaxing ❤ great for the coming fall season too

I LOVE the idea of a " Vision " for any space. ( but especially a small studio). Because...lack of space should be tempered by Comfort/Functionality. I wanted My space to look like an Artist Studio...but Gallery also.. ( Your Channel gave Me some tools to achieve [ in process]...My LOVE for My own space.

❤so beautiful!

I’m trying to figure out where they put they clothes and stuff like closet space

This is my vibe 100%, but not able to paint the walls … how can I make it moody?

I prefer Light. Too much darkness in my real life.

Perhaps drapes or some other window treatment? Might soften that wall a bit…

Hi Steffi, Hi Hilo. Gorgeous Moody decor. Thank you for sharing 🖤

Thank you 🙏🏽 ❤

Congrad'z on the article Stephie, we❤u.

I am moving into my first solo apartment this weekend but it's only 385 square feet and I'm sort of freaking out with what I am even going to do!
