NEVER TOO SMALL: Designer Couple’s Simple Luxe Apartment, Amsterdam 33sqm/355sqft

Designers Carla and Bruno, the talented couple behind Hum Gallery & Studio, completely transformed their standard T-shaped apartment with a unique blend of hotel aesthetics and simplicity, using a mix of second hand furniture and natural materials. Key to the overall design was taking advantage of the apartment’s natural light and views overlooking the courtyard. The biggest change to the floorplan was opening the bathroom up into the bedroom, incorporating a large bathtub, vanity and shower into the space. They also removed the original L-shaped corner kitchen and extended it along the full length of the wall, where it forms part of the open plan living and dining space. The area is centred around a custom made dining table and pendant light, with a unique mirror based vintage sofa tucked into a small cosy nook. With the upgrade of this 1901 apartment, Carla and Bruno have created the perfect canvas to feature all of the objects that they have collected over time.

  1. Love the apartment but no joke, Mr Fox is my favourite part of this video ❤ can tell the little guy has a entertaining personality

  2. the open bathroom-to-bedroom design is a bit too much. it's fun to look at but not practical. But the apartment has an airy feel that makes it so cozy but not claustrophobic. Mr Fox is awesome

  3. This is lovely. Tbh I find some of the homes on this channel overly angular – like conceptual Tetris boxes with no soft edges or comfortable places to land (plywood everywhere! Hard bench seating!) This avoids that trap and looks like a truly warm and enjoyable home. Also I love the artwork & would like to know more…

  4. I love the sunshine in this apartment, Also the division between living cooking eating and sleeping. The open plan area makes the apartment look quite spacious.

  5. Stunning choice of colours, materials and items. The handles and travertine countertop in the kitchen are to die for. I would personally never put a tub/shower in the bedroom, but if it works for them that's great. Also, NTS please show us more balconies. You always skip them and they are such a cute part of every apartment.

  6. Upgrading older spaces doesn't reduce the need for new constructions, it's still a two person apartment. The Netherlands has a constant positive inflow of people, and is experiencing an acute housing crisis. Housing should not only be sustainable, but also available.

  7. Beautiful! By the way, what are the measures of the living room/kitchen?

  8. For such a small space, is very well done! I would have switched the location of the bedroom with the kitchen so that you would have an easy access to the balcony and make the livable space bigger/better used.

  9. This place is awesome. Loving the navy in the kitchen. A question about the open plan en suite, when I take a relaxing bath, it's usually very hot and leaves my bathroom steamy all over. How does this work with your bed and clothes right there. I think a glass wall to isolate the bathroom room would take this place from 4 to 5 stars imho

  10. Glad they found what the best for them, but the tub for me would make the room messy. I think separating the tub and bed with semi or transparent separator would still work. Merge it with shower/ other wet area.
