"Two-and-a-half years ago and at age 29, product designer Sara Duval took the plunge into homeownership by purchasing this 400-ish-square-foot studio apartment in Manhattan. (For those who are curious, she does a great job of breaking down the financials of this purchase on her TikTok account.) Located in a building from 1920, the apartment might be 125-years-old, but Sara's created a warm, personal, and modern home."
"Sara shares her small home with her partner, Joe Danko, and their very cute dog, Clover. There are under-the-bed drawers, there are under-the-couch drawers. Sara added shelves inside the existing cabinetry to maximize space. In the bathroom, a rolling cart with cute storage boxes hides clutter. Joe and Sara used vertical space by building shelves that house things like books, knickknacks, and plants to make sure that not even an inch is wasted."
"Although the bathroom was clean and modern, it was sorely lacking in storage and personality, so she replaced the pedestal sink with a cabinet for tons of extra room. And although the kitchen is technically small, it's quite open - it consists of a small little corner area with the stove, and another area with the fridge and a bar for seating."
Sara Duval purchased a roughly 400-square-foot Manhattan studio at age 29 in a 1920 building. The apartment features wood floors, arched doorways, and window paneling. The space is shared with her partner, Joe Danko, and their dog Clover. Smart storage solutions include under-bed and under-couch drawers, added cabinetry shelves, and a rolling bathroom cart with storage boxes. Vertical shelving holds books, plants, and knickknacks to use all available space. A pedestal sink was replaced with a cabinet for bathroom storage. The small kitchen remains open with a corner stove area, separate fridge, and a bar for seating.
