A 580 sq ft Toronto condo with almost no visible clutter
Priya keeps her one-bedroom Toronto condo calm with hidden appliances, labelled jars and a few pieces that remind her of her mom.
Priya has cooked in her 580 sq ft one-bedroom condo in Toronto for four years. She describes the style as Scandinavian with a Japanese feel, and she keeps almost everything out of sight.
Her kitchen shows how. The big appliances are built in. Her rice cooker, blender and air fryer live in an appliance garage. Clear lazy Susans from Dollarama hold supplements and sauces so she can reach the back of the shelf. She labels her spice jars on the bottom so the labels don't add clutter. A Muuto Linear dining table from Facebook Marketplace brings in warm wood, and it doubles as her desk. Each evening she packs the laptop away.
Priya brings home useful things from her trips, never knick-knacks. She makes her morning coffee with a kettle from Japan. Her mother's utensils and mortar and pestle make her feel close to her mom when she cooks Tamil food.
She had someone run the TV wires through the wall. Every light in the condo is on a dimmer, so she doesn't need lamps. Her IKEA sectional stores yoga mats and board games. A 300 sq ft wraparound balcony runs from the living room to the bedroom.
