Asking about how big should our family house be or how many children we would have are questions which most young couples don't dwell on just yet. Those speak of a long-term commitment which quite frankly, for them, can best be discussed sometime after enjoying life together in their early 20s or maybe at some point conceded by both. For now, a comfortable and practical home like say in an apartment sounds like a better choice. Couples, relieve yourselves of that heavy burden by taking a tour of this simple but quaint space you can call home.

Minimal and practical

The main door opens to the hallway where on one side is a built-in closet that can readily hold on to coats. The rest of the space is a clean combination of white, black, greys, and browns. In spite of the small space, a good choice of a plush couch, modernist light fixture, and general furnishings dot the living area. It can't get any more minimalist-chic than that.

A great place to start

At 77 m²-wide, this apartment provides just enough room for a young couple looking for a good place to start. It's simple because it has the essential areas but it's also stylish in the minimalist sense. This dining area for example shifts your eyes' focus on the dining set and kitchen beyond because of how they stand out against the rest of the all-white interior. The four-seater is just ideal for you and your partner plus the company of two others on special occasions. 

Canvas of possibilities

The white on white combo helps make your apartment look spacious and organized. It's also a good way to train young couples on maintaining a clean house. To add some variety, hanging monotone pieces along the walls in black frames like these are also good. Actually, this minimalist theme is a safe choice because it can literally be a canvas for things that you would eventually add once you reside here. 

Kitchen amenities

Keeping it basic, this kitchen is equipped with the cupboards, sink, stove and oven that you will need. This black faucet and sink also look sleek against the white counter. The overhead cupboards can even be utilized to keep those cookbooks because they line up two adjacent sides. 

By the kitchen corner, a set of windows also provide the right amount of lighting and they sit on an indoor ledge too where you guys can nourish a few adorable potted greens. See some of our kitchen planners to help you decide on how your kitchen should look.

A work room

Being young doesn't mean being recklessly carefree, this space is well aware of couples having careers because it houses a good workplace complete with racks of book shelves, desks, electrical sockets, and roller chairs. And when it all gets stressful, there's always a convenient spot to get a breath of fresh air with the presence of plants around it. 

The test of cleanliness

The bathroom on the other hand is both utilitarian and minimalist at the same time! The toilet and tissue roll here are incorporated in a wooden compartment which occupies one side from top to bottom. It's like being in a modern Japanese comfort room. Other than those, it's also furnished with a shower area. More than any other place in this apartment, this bathroom could test both of your cleaning capabilities in a way that living together could test a relationship. But that's not such a big for some. 

A simple love nest

Have we mentioned that this was a minimalist apartment? Yes, then we shall mention it again for this room. The bed here faces a tall cabinet-lined wall which can keep a couples' clothes, although it might not be big enough for some who keep a lot of the same. Nonetheless, this simplistic bedroom can again be a great canvas to the rest of the things you can bring to decorate it.
