The Healthy Minimalist Home Tour | Singapore 3-Room HDB
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 26 ก.ค. 2024
- We moved into our apartment earlier this year, and we're really happy with how it turned out.
When conceptualizing the space, we wanted our home to be conducive to staying active, and we also wanted to be more conscious about the stuff we purchased and owned; hence the minimalist design.
Join us as we bring you through a quick tour of our 65sqm/700sqf home!
With the help of our friends from Komorebi ( / art.komorebi )
We've also had MANY, MANY questions about where got our furniture.

When we made this video, we never expected it to be viewed more than half a million times 😱 it was just meant to be a quick look at the *design* of our apartment. There is now a follow up video where we talk a little more about our 'minimalist lifestyle' that you can watch here: th-cam.com/video/ANoPlz7-cUI/w-d-xo.html
**This is not a complete home tour! We do own stuff, like normal people do 😅 Our two very bland bathrooms, and a small storage room were not shown in this video. We will do a complete home tour in the future :)**
A huge thanks to everyone for watching and commenting!
P.S. we're swarmed with questions asking about where we get some of our furniture. They're all either from Muji or IKEA :)
I love your home. It is not "empty" but clear and focused and relaxed. Now I'll check out your new video :)
@@hotbun11 Thank you so much for the kind words :)
That's my future place! Thanks for the inspiration! 🙏
I love your presentation an simplicity really good.... Do more positive healthy videos... I subscribed ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Your home is absolutely beautiful. My only question is how do the pull up ropes stay attached to the ceiling? Wouldn’t your body weight tear them off?
The most important part is living with a like-minded partner.
Couldn't agree more. Makes life so much easier 👍
😊❤️
This is so true!!!!!
Absolutely right
Definitely!
finally a minimalist video for a minimalist home, not a 20 minute saga
YES!
Yeah
HAHAHA!
Lol.. I like long vids if they are super interesting..
Lol 😂@saga
I have lived in 5 different countries for the past few years, I naturally became a minimalist(living on your friend's couch forces you to be one lol) Then I recently got a job in another country with a lot of income(a lot for me at least). This led me to thinking about what furniture to buy, then a rug, then this and that.
I came across your video at just the right timing. I realized that I 'don't have to' buy all those stuff in the first place. Thanks. Truly grateful
Thank you, we're grateful for your nice comment as well :) All the best in your new place and new job!
In my humble opinion, your space is one of the very few in youtube land that deserves the minimalist tag. Although its not for me, its still very inspiring. Good job!
Minimalism, like all things, exists on a spectrum.
I've seen the other videos, and I understand what you're saying,
Usually the other minimalists still have furniture and other normal things.
But they are still minimalists. They do not buy things they don't need.
Some people are more minimalistic than others, it's considered a discipline.
This is probably one of the most simple-but-makes-sense home design I've ever seen. Genius.
That's the best compliment we can possibly get. Thank you so much! 🥰
0:33 They are so minimalists they don't even have food
😂😂😳...I just notice it! Good catch...😂😂😂
Because we took this video right after we decluttered our ingredients 😂
Hahhaaaa probably done for this shoot.
They get their nutrients from the air.
FOOD
A gym and a movie projector room, yet without all the clutter, I love it ☺️
I *LOVE* how "empty" this home is. I crave that extra space that standard furniture usually takes up.
Hey thanks for commenting! Yeah, we really appreciate the space as much as we imagined we would! :)
I also do,I want to change my space
I always come back to this video from time to time because I love how you were courageous about switching up your space! Your kitchen orientation is such a great idea, and I love the way you decided not to sleep in the master bedroom despite that being 'designated' in that way!
It's like a Muji showroom 😂
Is Muji the maker of the office desks? Those are splendid!
I also thought the same
Love it reminds me of COS showroom
lol
Omg 😂😂😂
Thank you. I have been sitting and sleeping on the floor for 20 years, totally recommend it. Best wishes.
Love your home so much. First step is having a like minded partner. You both are so lucky to have found each other
This is the kind of professional person living that wouldn't have been possible in the 90s. Cloud computing has changed everything about our physical space.
videodancer1 you’re still in the mindset that you need stuff.
space s not physical really
What about party dress and occasional dress.?
What does cloud computing have to do with this besides them having a room as their office?
Why wouldn't it have been possible in the 90's?
This is so lovely! Your space is beautiful!! Thank you for sharing. Greetings from a fellow Singapore resident!
Thanks for leaving an awesome comment! And... your channel looks awesome too 😍 it's too late into the night now, but we've already saved a number of your videos to our watch-later list for tomorrow. Can't wait to watch your Singlish video 😂
this is the gold-standart for a minimalist home
This motivates me to donate everything in my apartment.
😄
Great thing that you said donate instead of sell
give some stuff to me, I'm in a bind
Hi, I am ready for your donation. You can DM me for my address.
I will be waiting
@@AyushGupta-yj8jz selling is actually better than donating, if donating means giving to charity. There's nothing wrong with making money from purchased items to buy something new. And donated items usually just end up as garbage anyway.
I love how u both narrate and both of you are seen in videos in equal intervals
Im new n subscribed👌👌
Hello and welcome! Thank you so much for subscribing! 💖
1:50 this is going to sound weird but my favourite part of the house is the laundry room!! it looks so clean and spacious, has natural lighting and adequate ventilation for the laundry, and the japanese-esque curtains were such a nice touch 😍
definitely taking inspiration from this video next time when i get my own house!!
I don't hink it's weird, we are naturally drawn to clean, spacious area with natural lights and ventilation. I love my kitchen for that reason th-cam.com/video/yNC-F6V3W6M/w-d-xo.html xCC
Those gymnastic rings in the middle of the ceiling almost took my breath away alone. I have been fantasizing about putting a pull-up bar into the wall next to my desk (to do passive hangs mostly - but pull-ups too - after prolonged sitting) and getting a minimalist desk too. But what you guys have done is inspiring 🙏
I would love to see a video on why you prefer sitting on the floor.
We have a short written explanation on one of our Instagram post here: instagram.com/p/B1gdUl3Hvrx/
But that's a video that we eventually plan to do. Please don't hesitate to remind us if we take too long! 😅
Thanks for commenting!
@@ThoughtworthyCo - Where are the floor chairs from?
@@mshausfrau Hello! They are from MUJI!
Thoughtworthy Co Where are your desks/coffee tables from? Lol. 😅🙏🏼
@@ThoughtworthyCo yes please! I also sit on the floor most of the time and I would love to hear from other people :)
70,000+ views update!
Hello all!
One month after posting this video, we had 1,000 views. We were like, "Whoa... a THOUSAND views! Cool!"
Just a few days ago, there was an influx of views and comments, and it hit 10,000 views out of nowhere, and we were over the moon! And as of this moment, we're typing this comment at an unbelievable (to us) 70k views, and it's still going strong.
We have been absolutely blown away with the positivity we have received. Sure, there are a few negative comments in there somewhere, but they're real collector's items and completely overshadowed by all the positive ones. For that, we're extremely, extremely thankful. Really, thank you to all who have watched and/or commented.
It's coming to a point where we may not be able to reply to every comment in this video, so we'd like to use this pinned comment to answer the most common question that we've received:
Q. Where is (insert furniture piece) from?
A. We got practically every piece that you see in the video from two sources - IKEA and Muji.
Bean bags - Muji
Bed frame - Muji
Floor chairs - Muji
Dining Table - IKEA
Desks are from IKEA, but we had the legs shortened to our desired height.
There's also been a few very interesting conversations about minimalism with some of you wonderful folks. We actually have a video planned for some time in the future, that will talk about our relationship with minimalism, and whether or not we're even minimalists at all.
Once more, thank you all for watching and reading. Welcome to our young channel, and we hope you enjoy your stay with us! 💖
Looking forward to more content from you two! This is the start of something beautiful.
Guys, the storage for t-shirts that are part clear white, where u got them?
@@arielvargasruvalcaba4874 They're from Muji 🙂
but it's not yet pinned though..
@@NaNa-cq8ck 😅 how did we miss that. Thanks for the spot!
Yeah, a minimalist setup is so much better than having lots of furniture that you have to clean and maintain.
I never tire of watching this video !! It's a big inspiration to me and my partner who's not really into minimalism (to say the least). We love your work, the way of life you choose to show us ! Thank you for sharing !!!
The bean bags!! That's the idea I have been needing for my space! I just moved to 600 sq ft with my young son. Decided to ditch the couch and hang a jungle gym system from the ceiling instead, so we are on the same track! Thank you for putting your home life on the internet for all of us to see! People have lots of opinions on your personal choices they choose to share, and I love your lighthearted replies! Thanks again for your example and inspiration.
Oh man a jungle gym sounds so fun, we're jealous! 😁 All the positivity from comments like yours really help us to tune out all the not-so-positive ones, so thank you very much!
All the best in making your space even more awesome!
I’d love to see and hear about what the process to transition into this lifestyle was like! Even if you did a room by room series! Your process fascinated me, so I’d love to hear more about how you both approached these decisions towards intentionality. Instant subscribed! Cannot wait to see more!
We're so glad you enjoyed our video. We never imagined that people would be so fascinated with our lifestyle! You gave us great ideas for our future videos, we'll definitely add these to our idea list. Thanks for leaving such a wonderful comment!
Finally a Singapore HDB that does a beautiful minimalist concept.
Wow thank you for the compliment 😁
Thank you!! We are looking to find more permanent ways to sit on the floor and your videos are very helpful! We’ve made the switch several months ago and it’s done wonderful things for our backs and mobility as well! We agree it’s the movement choices on the ground that makes a huge difference. And now when we visit friends or family our backs are more robust to sit in the couch or chairs provided.
We have a saying in Chinese, 中看不中用, which implies something is only nice to look at but impractical for use. Your home is the opposite of this saying. It seems simple and almost unfurnished, but so many thoughts went into it and it perfectly fits your lifestyle.
I love things like this, it might not be love at first sight, but as you live there, you'll grow to love it more everyday because of its practicality.
Also, I have back problems and bean bags for couch and sitting on the floor like in your office are the best things to do for your back, and is exactly what I'd planned to have for my future home
When we read up to 中看不中用 , we just went "Oh no 😱 please don't use that term on our home " 😂
But goodness! You really hit the spot, we're so happy that somebody understands and articulated it so well. Thanks for such a wonderful comment! 🥰
ciao
You seem like such a lovely couple and I love to see how you use the space. I am trying to really cut down on the items I have in my life and it’s great to see how other people are doing it. For me, I would need more plants and a few more splashes of decoration to feel more at home but this is definitely food for thought. Thanks for sharing!
We're definitely on the lookout for more plants, just looking for the right one 😁 Decorations were in the plan, but we got lazy and have grown to love the way it is now 😅
Thank you for your lovely comment! 🥰
I love how your apartment look likes.. it’s so creative and it really answer how a minimalist house supposed to look like.. inspiring.
Love the minimalist set up and the whole philosophy of minimal living. Ideally, I would want to reach that stage in my life where I don’t feel the need for materialistic things too. Keep it up in keeping it simple! :)
I really like seeing the variety of lifestyle people can have to live in a perfect harmony with who they are.
We agree! Whether it's life in a busy city, quiet town, or roaming in a caravan, it's so interesting to see and hear about the different experiences, even if they may not be the lifestyle for us. It's just cool to watch others who have found their own way to live and be happy.
Such a incredible design and simple and neat. Love this minimalist concept
Love the simplistic living space. No clutter. Just the essentials.Love it!
This is a great thought process. I've been having a hard time, getting rid of useless stuff which has been accumulated by my parents over many years.
When living in the city where the small space is the only option. This is such an ideal home!
I loved living in Singapore 🇸🇬 & miss it terribly, especially Westlake restaurant & the spring onion pancakes. Lovely space...😊
This is exactly how I want my house to look, just maybe a bit smaller coz it is just me. Good job!
Writing from the central US. First, I’m a baby boomer and also a person that had to have a house full of antiques! To make a long story short, little by little it’s all going out the door! I’ve been working on the whole house and it actually brings so much pleasure to kiss it goodbye! I’ve gained so much knowledge from the minimal living people that I wish I could have known and practiced years ago! I can look around my home now and breathe! Thank you for your lovely inspirational videos!
Thanks for sharing your experience! And glad you're enjoying our videos 💕 Take care and stay safe :)
I love this idea of a minimalist design. Good for the environment as well as your wallet since you don't feel the need to buy so many stuff and can live with the essentials.
You're spot on, we feel the same way! Thanks for commenting!
The minimalist philosophy can definitely be applied to people as well.
Finally, actually a minimalist home, not just clean and tidy!
😊
I also started sitting on the floor for many reasons and my goal is also to use rings as my main workout utensil once I have the strength! The wardrobe is also how I was imagining it in my mind! I didn't think when I look up minimalism I'd find such a great example for my plans once I finish college, thank you ! You're beautiful people
Aww thanks so much, your comment is beautiful. Glad our video made its way to you :)
I’m poor hence I too am a minimalist
That makes 3 of us 🤝
@@ThoughtworthyCo poor in your pockets, rich in your lives :)
@@stezii aww thanks. That's very nice 😊
Yllow Afryca
Nice joke
perfect ... we are all poor really
Such a well thought out home - looks like it suits you both/ this season of your life very well :)
Thanks! Yes we're so in love with the place now, but the headache will start when it's time to add a new family member into the home 😅
@@ThoughtworthyCo Beeing a minimalist with two kids (0,5y & 2,5y) I have to confirm, that nothing will be as calm, clean and intentional as it was before, though I wouldn't have it any other way.
@@ElBoyoElectronico 🤣 chaos can be beautiful too!
Your apartment is beautiful and truly captures the spirit of minimalism: intentionality over deprivation or excess
Thanks! :) We really appreciate your comment 🙏
You guys are an inspiration. Less is indeed more. Proud that you guys are from SG too!
Imaging playing hide and seek here. No hiding spaces 😂
Pretty much like life. You can't hide from your problems or issues 😅
AH AH AH AH
You could fold yourself up the Kon Mari way and hide in the drawer
Absolutely gorgious, very inspiring - and such a good, swift, minimalist video too!
Thank you! Really appreciate the nice words! 🥰
Loved it and resonate with it since I (at 79) have lived in our ashram’s personal rooms for the last 20 years. But, being a typical Indian and living in the mountain country, I would certainly go for some more colour around me.
I like it, you don't need much stuff at all. Good selection on the rings, they're the most versatile piece of training equipment you can get.
Very nice design! Very original and refreshing after browsing through other standard hdb homes. Keep this going 👍
Thank you so much! We just tried to do away with the standard norms, and did what made sense to us. Thank goodness it turned out well 😅
Such a beautiful space! I am in love with it!
Thank you for your beautiful comment! 💖
enclosure of space
Respect! I admire this state of minimalism in your apartment's interior. Show us more!
This is light, airy and easy to maintain. I love it!!!
Love the gymnastics ring setup!
Hey thanks! :)
Me too, how did you do it? I mean, technical explanation. Thanks
I love how they have those gym rings right in the middle of their living room haha!!!
I can see every thought process to why it was designed a certain way in every part of your home and I resonate with it so closely. So much that I feel like copy pasting most of the things yall have to my future home.
Thanks for sharing this time capsule the home is simple and functional and nice open spaces.
I've subscribed after only getting halfway through the first video of yours that I have watched. I'm already a minimalist and I absolutely love it but your home is next level and I'm inspired to do the same X
Everybody gangsta until the nerdy looking guy can front lever
Whoa hold up, how dare you call me nerdy looking 🤓
@@ThoughtworthyCo Yeah, show us your front lever! Otherwise your are the lier ))
@@ThoughtworthyCo Serious question here. How do you install the rings? Where do you buy the holder or whatever that is called to hold the rings in place? Thanks in advance!
@@123shadower There are some type of ceiling anchors there (even butterfly maybe) for this they are probably pretty deep in the ceiling. Me being 220lbs/100kg I wouldnt risk it, workout station is plenty enough.
@@BiMiHi HDB can install gymnastic rings on ceiling? doesn't it go against the HDB rules or sth?
This video gave me a glimpse of what my future home would be, simple yet modern.
I was pondering turning my master bedroom into something else lol, then here is this video! Love the gym rings, have wondered previously if others would do this (had gymnastics training as a young girl), again, apparently they would. Beautifully done guys, simple, clean & relaxing.
so much love! the living room seems perfect; i've been thinking of ditching the sofa altogether once it's not serviceable, plus we already have one beanbag. gonna check out the rest of your stuff now cos i'm feeling super inspired hehehe thank you!!
We're so glad to hear that 😁 Good luck! 💪
I love your apartment! so versatile!
Thank you so much! Gotta make the most of the space we've got!
Wow! I am really digging this minimalist style. It is really calming for some reason.
Omg just finished watching it.In love with it.
keyword is decluttering
head first
700 sqft seems like a large space when there is such little amount of furniture. I used to live in a 200 sqft apartment when I was single and a 450 sqft home with an ex-boyfriend
700 sqft at that time would have felt like a mansion for us. Lol
Eventually I bought (and lived in) homes that were 1,200, 1,500, 1,600, 1,800, 2,400 and 2,800 sqft and currently renting a 2,500 sqft home. My husband and I decided that for us anything above 1,700 sqft is just too much wasted space. So we are looking to buy our last home this year in the 1,500-1,700 sqft range.
Ooh nice, wish you all the best in building your last forever home! 💕
Wow!... this is commendable -Love the wardrobe, too. Truly inspiring.
Wow, I feel impressed by the minimalist style you pursue. Less is really more. Why do people think it is easy to maintain a minimalist style. In fact, it is just the opposite. We make even more effort and determination to keep things simple. Support and enjoy.
2:51 Id love that, I love sitting on the floor.
Why does minimalism seem to mean a lack of colour too?
Preference.
Kritika K Perfect amount of colors, bitch
I think its because black is easier to maintain. They won't have to spend much water and electricity on getting it clean. They can keep wearing their black items over and over again
There's a difference between minimalist lifestyle and minimalist aesthetic. But a lot of minimalists like the minimal look because it's calmer and simpler.
@@themaxtails Thanks for pointing out the difference between the two! I guess the colours they use do have a calm feeljng to them.
Hey Jesus loves all of you guys so much!! stay healthy! This is actually really eye opening since many people like the extravagant, and happen to overlook the fact that there is also beauty in the simple things!
Finally a minimalist video from Asia. Love it.
My issue with that kind of spaces is the acoustic comfort of living. When there is nothing on the wall and on the floor there is a lot of echo. It makes it very unpleasant to talk and listen to music or watch tv. Every noise that you make gets amplified, if you ever painted empty room you will know what I'm talking about. And if you have neighbours next, below or above, you will be hearing them a lot even if they are not especially loud.Thats because your room acts as resonating chamber. Let's say it's like living in acoustic guitar.
living in my accoustic guitar lol
Don't worry, mate. It isn't half as bad as you're making it out to be, that's too much of an exaggeration. It's not going to work as a studio, but there are enough soft-ish material lying around to absorb enough sound reflections to make it comfortable.
Oh I didn't mean to attack their space by any means. I was just trying to make point in general that acoustic comfort is something to consider when going minimal. Obviously I wasn't there so I can only talk from my experience. I'm living in block of flats and the moment I removed most of my furniture I started to hear my neighbor Tv. Of course it depends on the walls isolation and type of building but what I want to say is that a painting on the wall or small rug on the flor can change a lot. My example with acoustic guitar was just to visualize idea of resonating chamber and how sound from behind the wall will get amplified. Home presented in the video is beautiful and worm and I wish owners long and healthy lives :)
Yeah, no worries mate. No offence taken. My comment may have sounded harsher than intended too (my bad) 😂 We totally get what you're saying; when we first got the keys to the empty apartment it was pretty unbearable acoustically. In the first couple of months when we had even fewer things, I couldn't even stand turning up the volume of my music as I have pretty sensitive ears. Right now it's perfectly fine 👌 Best of health to you too, friend.
Hello! Enjoyed seeing how you made the most of your home space. May I ask where your low floor chairs in your office came from? (I looked at the Muji site already 😀) but didn't see it ? And the stand for your headphones? Thanks for sharing, greater inspiration for minimalism.
Hello! The floor chairs are indeed from Muji, if you go to www.muji.com/sg/products and type "floor chair" in the search bar, it should show up. If you head down to the Muji stores you should see them on display too.
We got the headphone stand online. Can't remember where exactly, sorry! But it's pretty generic so you can just look for the designs that you like.
Thanks for watching and do stick around!
EDIT: It's a long link but perhaps I should just paste it here (the floor chair)
www.muji.com/sg/products/list/?selectedAllList=floor%2Bchair&selectedFreeWordList=floor%2Bchair&sort=NON_SELECTED&netstoreStock=undefined&colorDisplayType=ONE
Thoughtworthy Co thank you so much for the link and reply!
Wow this was great, a total minimalist apartment. Absolutely no clutter, I love it. Nothing to worry about, no money spent to purchase things you won't use. Your mind is not bothered by abstract objects. I seriouly need to declutter my life.
Thank you! 😁 And all the best!
Everything is so organized. I love it!!
If I don't have kids, I'd be so contented with this kind of setup. love it
Thanks! 🥰 Yes, kids are a real concern for many people when it comes to minimalism. We'll have to think of ways to adapt in the future 😁
Agree. I'd love to use some of the ideas in our family home though. I think the flexible living space could work really well with kids.
@@davidandtracimitchell7856 We think so too! That's how we are hoping it would pan out eventually, a nice play space for both adults and kids in the future 😁 Fingers crossed!
From my experience having 4 boys ages 14-7 I'd probably have this when they have their own houses lmao. I am a minimalist and love organizing but boys will be boys lol. Goodluck to all my fellow parents and soon to be ones
We have two kids and are minimalists. It works just fine. But it is on another level.
2:51 is me whenever I ran outta sitting position 😂💁🏻♂️
Love it when i see younsters live with less.
In fact, they are having more in life. Well done!
Hello! Thank you very much! 💕
truly minimalistic and simplistic but very tranquil design. really love it.
Dang. So minimialist they even cook with invisible food 😂
I snort-laughed and had to rewind that bit. (00:30)
Great space though.
😂 We just had to declutter our ingredients. Air is much better. 😂
Thanks for the comment! 😁
@@ThoughtworthyCo 😂😂😂
🍽 WAY healthier.
....is more healthy
My uncle started the minimalist movement and I didn’t even know I had an uncle until I did an essay on “The minimalists” and how inspirational they are. Turns out one of them is my step uncle.
Weird way to meet new family
Pfffttgahhaha
😯what a small world.
You guys are cool. The content is detailed and the videos are pleasing to watch. Thanks for taking the effort to share your habits!
This is one of the beautiest vide I`ve ever seen! Great inspiration.
700sqf is pretty big no wonder it looks so open!
Can we just stop for a moment and appreciate that ring front lever?
It takes everything out of me to hold it for just 5 seconds actually. Good thing thumbnails are STILL photos 😂
Yes! Absolutely enjoyed the tour. Impressive! Looking forward to the advantages of doing work, sitting on the floor.👍
gives me peace and joy . this video
This is how I want my home to look when I am older, Maybe a bit more decor lol
🤣
a Picasso maybe
The hardest part is not designing a small interior, is to find a personne ready to live in ( especially girlfriend, french girlfriend, parisian girlfriend ... )
fireoil what about Parisian girls. They are used to live in tiny flats in Paris. City Singapore flats are definitely bigger.
Love seeing all the MUJI furniture and items!!!!! ❤️
They are FLOORGANG!!!!!!!....respect
What projector do you use, I'm trying to get rid of my tv !
If I did this to my house, my wife and kids would kill me in my sleep.
they did already
Get rid of the wife and kids? Classic decluttering :-p
live it with your stuff... people don't like to be persuaded, they follow role-models ;)
1234 that’s family. It’s a give and take situation. Why shouldn’t your kids and the person you decided to marry have some control in your life? Love = sacrifice.
@@jameshumphrey9939 That was savage...poor guy 😔
this is so satisfying to watch!!!❤️
You guys are so meee!!! I am introvert and I like this kind of lifestyle. I think it is necessary to keep as minimal as possible as long as our environment is clean, neat and tidy. I prefer to sit on the floor too to study or work.
😁🙌🙌
