Appartement Paris
What Houzz contributors are saying:
10. Possibly more than one bedroomEven though our apartment was beautiful, I kept asking myself whether I could really live with only one bedroom. Before you make the final decision on whether to move to a smaller space, you may want to ask yourself the following questions:Would I be able to share a one-bedroom apartment with another person? Would I have enough personal space?Would a 37 square metre (approximately 400 square feet) flat be so small that it would quickly become cluttered and messy if I lived there with someone who is untidy?How do I like to entertain? Would I be content with small gatherings or dinner parties?What about overnight guests? Would it be claustrophobic to have friends or relatives visit from out of town?Would I have a car or would I be able to use public transport? If I needed a car, would the building provide parking? If I didn’t need a car, would I be able to walk to public transport?Ultimately, each of us has to decide for ourselves whether a small flat would meet our needs. Personally, I’m still on the fence – let’s say I’d need to give it a longer test drive to know for certain. However, I thoroughly enjoyed the one week I stayed in compact quarters in Paris – or perhaps that was just because I was in Paris!Read more:How to Live Large in a Small ApartmentTell us:Have you downsized to a smaller space or do you currently live in a small flat?
