The owners of the apartment faced the same situation. The concept of "minimalism" does not exist in their lexicon, and it does not matter whether it relates to furniture, the color scheme of the room or the patterns on their favorite things. After several years of living in a tiny space, Janet Lee can confidently give advice and voice the thoughts that come to her mind to the readers of her own blog.

Now I live in an apartment of 67 m2, where I can throw parties with some comfort.” Try making original curtains for the windows using a large patterned sheet with a blinds effect.
