You posted a tiktok recently about feeling like you’ve had to spend the majority of your 20s healing from mental health issues / toxic family dynamics and navigating feelings around being a “late bloomer” - would love to hear you speak more on that, it’s a super relatable experience but so underdiscussed!
I LOVE seeing a youtuber living in a tiny place, i'm sick of all the enormous house tours with multiple guest bedrooms and ten sitting places, people really don't need that much to have a happy home. The vibe of this studio is so cute. 😍
Don't forget to use vertical space for storage in a small space! Get creative by making functional storage double as decor. For example, you could hang some funky shelves and use them to store/display your shoes or get a cork or pegboard to hang/display your jewelry and accessories. In inside/back of doors is also a good place to add storage for shoes, accessories, cleaning supplies, mop and broom, ect.. Also, use lots and lots of hooks! You can never have enough hooks! Pu them everywhere!! Lol
Hey Niki! I have some tips for a small space and how to maximize it! Move your tv on the wall in the living room and put the couch with its back facing the kitchen facing the tv and the vanity will have more space to move , in the bedroom put the bed against the wall in the corner and put the nightstands on each side and move the mirror in the living room
@@freya3192 YES. My inner interior decorator was tortured throughout this video. I want to help her but then again if she’s happy, good for her. 🤷🏻♀️
I am loving this downsizing of your life. It’s crazy how you went from living in a big house to a studio apartment. I used to live in a one bedroom apartment and a couple years ago my apartment flooded during an ice storm from a burst pipe and I lost all my furniture. I had to downsize my life into just one bedroom and a couple closets and I realized the same thing. That I don’t need a lot of space to be happy. I’m so content living more minimalist.
You would benefit from folding your jeans and stacking them on the shelf above the closet hang bar!! And just having a little stool in the closet to pull out to stand on to grab pants! This apartment makes me have fond memories of my studio apartment days and also makes me glad I no longer live in a studio now, all at the same time! 😂
Mount your tv on a swivel mount on the main wall (not the half wall) so you can watch from your room or living room. Then your bar can stay in the same spot and provide more seating in the living room
I grew up in the 80’s and you truly captured how I wanted my room back then. I love how your fun bright spirit is shining, this is Niki and I’m here for all of it. I agree, decorating for Halloween would be fun! 🩷
The bed not being on the other wall and having the nightstand sticking out from the wall is driving me nuts. Please flip it, you could make the wall its currently on into some cute gallary wall with the mirror being the focal point. Or you could add custom built ins with open shelving for the clothes you want to display. But idk, not space so not my place 🤣 Editing to add--- The desk space is also bugging me now... push the couch all the way to the window, get a tell vertical desk with lots of shelf space... this could be done so well and so cute.. but its a fail for me 😬
I think Niki is a type of person who gets obsessed with something she’s interested in, currently she’s all about 80’s and pink 😅 don’t get me wrong I love Niki though, but she’ll be obsessed with something else in coming years, and will have a totally different style. While Gabi has never changed her style, stayed same over the years. Love that this twins are same same but different❤
If you wanted to have a little place to sit and eat at, you could get a small island on wheels, that way you can roll it out of the way when you just want your kitchen to be open. You could also roll it up next to the side of the couch and use it as a side table, plus it will give you a little extra storage space. And uf you didn't want to use a traditional looking island, you could always get a super cute vintage bar cart! 😊
NIKI!!!! You're glowing !! You should truly be so proud of yourself !! Stay true to who you are and I'm so grateful you keep sharing your journey with us 💞💞💞
I’ve been watching Niki for years and seeing the growth and how happy she is makes me so proud and it’s so inspiring because I’ve been depressed for years and see you overcome it make me have hope so thank you ❤❤❤❤
Don’t know if you’ll see this Niki but your videos have really helped me. I’m in a space where I’m not good where I’m at. I’m ready to start life somewhere else. I don’t know when. But your videos have helped me with hope that eventually I will be there. It’s never too late. Also I’m so happy for you!
Watching your videos for so many years and seeing all the different styles and such that you’ve gone through has really given me such an affirmative feeling in that it’s okay to not know exactly who you are right into adulthood and it’s okay to change what you like and who you are as you discover yourself more ❤
I love how you did it too. It's such a stylish yet cozy space. I moved to Tampa, FL from Noblesville, IN when I was 20. I just sold everything, put my three dogs in my car and drove to FL. I said I would just drive until an area or city felt like home. I found a studio with a pool and it was my favorite apartment ever. I love studios. I'm so glad you are so happy and doing what you love. You are an awesome woman!❤
personally me, I need my rooms to be separated haha I feel like it gives it more structure haha since I can be messy sometimes so that helps me. If I don't have separate rooms it feels as if everything is just all clumped together and it would drive me nuts 😭
Love the retro style… feel like I was born in the wrong time sometimes lol Just a idea btw! instead of hiding the blue chair why don’t you put it where you put you bar stool to show us how well it goes with the island. Create a rounder vibe… maybe a oval rug? then put a big ass plant where the blue chair was in the most retro vase you can find! 😹😹😘😘
I haven’t watched your videos in a while, and I can tell that since you’ve embraced being a raging lesbian, you seem so much happier. It’s like the overconsumption has slowed down, and you’re more down to earth, less chaotic. You’ve moved away from being super aesthetic and now just have what you need-it feels way more authentic. Maybe all the other stuff was a byproduct of you masking as straight, which must’ve been stressful.
Hi Niki! I love your 80s post modern themed studio apartment. I'm so happy for you!!! I would love to see a night time or morning routine in your new apartment. 💖
Niki I love you're new style! It's so you. Even though back in the day you hated pink. I've been a fan since you've had blue hair! Such growth! Personally on the shirts the red one is my favorite! Please do a behind the scenes of designing you're merch! That would be fun!
I love that we all can see this is Niki's happiest! She is thriving and looking stunning whilst doing it! I'm 23 and wish I was living her life, with the supportive loving girlfriend, the cutesy studio apartment, she just has her shit together and is living her best life. I envy her, I wanna be her (and be with her)... anyways, VEGAS is such a good song, love the clothing line too 💋❤💖
Would love to see you do a Q&A by yourself Would love to see you do a cleaning vlog. Would love to see you and Jules have a relax day vlog in your apartment Would love to see you react to your old reality tv series with Jules!
If you want you could add fun decals to the closet doors to match your vibe it would look really cute. I did that recently to my windows and it looks so gorgeous.
The desk chair could be better if you got something without a back. It would give you more space and you can lean against the back of the sofa if you want back support
Thankyou for making these little vlogs still niki. I have been watching you for yearrrss but recently I appreciate them so much more as life's has become tough. It's 15 minutes of me time watching these and i leave with a more positive and inspired attitude. Thankyou niki ❤️ also love love love the studio 😎🥳
My house is pretty much a studio, but I live in it with my husband and our 2 kids 😅 It's 610 square ft. There's a "bedroom" (it has 3 walls, the 4th is made with a curtain). This is my daughter's room! She's 2 lol doesn't need much Then there's a living room that BARELY fits my couch, tv, and a rocking chair for nursing my infant! There is a small kitchen island separating the living room & kitchen. We don't have a stove, just a fridge, sink, microwave & air fryer. Then a small pantry. We have a walk in closet BUT it's the only closet/storage in the whole house haha it holds clothes for all 4 of us, linens, small appliances, water heater, EVERYTHING! The "master bedroom" fits a queen bed, crib & changing table! There's not even room for night stands! Then there's the tiniest bathroom I've ever seen. Its a toilet, standing shower & sink with zero storage (so again extra towels etc. Go in the one closet) We make it work ❤ It truly is amazing how people can live in such small spaces! It's funny how you say you keep your home clean because it's small, I feel like I'm the opposite 😂 I'm also ADHD and I feel like I have to have a place for everything! And there's just not enough room to organize it how I want so things sit on the couch because "one day I'll figure out where it can go" 😂
I love this more minimalist side of you! It’s been so fun to be apart of each chapter of your life but this time it feels different! This feels very calm and grounded 💖🫶🏼
That’s good you feel calm when your overstimulated that you go in your chair to do that for me it is singing like your songs! 😊 how my overstimulation goes away ❤️
I live in a two bedroom apartment and it’s just me and my dog and I want to downsize so bad. I don’t need all this space but your studio is so cute and cozy 😍
i love how you went from anti-pink to full on pink apartment
And she’s wearing a pink bathrobe! 😊
I see a little bit of every room niki has had throughout her time on youtube in this room and I'm so here for it
you worded it perfectly

Pleaseeeee
yesss Niki please talk about this so many people - myself included - really relate
I absolutely agree with this. I would love to hear Niki talk more in depth about all of this on YT.
I LOVE seeing a youtuber living in a tiny place, i'm sick of all the enormous house tours with multiple guest bedrooms and ten sitting places, people really don't need that much to have a happy home. The vibe of this studio is so cute. 😍
That's a moderately-sized space, not a tiny one. It's the size of a one bedroom residence.
i can feel her relief and joy from across the screen. i love this for her and haven’t felt it in awhile.
"decorate my Studio Apartment for halloween w/ me" would be great!
Don't forget to use vertical space for storage in a small space! Get creative by making functional storage double as decor.

I agree with you!! But I do love the mirror in the bedroom- she is low key freaky 😜 ❤ but yes moving the couch and tv would open the living room-
Yes!!! Was thinking the same!
I was thinking that too
yess
The way you seamlessly squeezed into that desk chair lmao I’m impressed
Not gonna lie this entire room enrages me but pop off
esp. the office tiny place between the couch would drive me crazy
ME TOOOOO AS AN INT ARCHITECT ITS A DESIGNER’S NIGHTMARE
@@hodabeingextra8071with the garbage right next to the makeup too 🤢girl I’m sorry but ew
HAHAHA same ❤

I love studio apartment layouts. It’s so interesting how creative people get to make them feel so cozy.
i love how it's a studio unit but still feels so big!! i love it

I would love to hear on how you’re coping with the going back and forth thing. Cause I feel like LA really is becoming your home this Niki era✨
Niki posted. I am now at peace. Love you ❤️
Your peace is based off of someone posting a TH-cam video? Lmfao
I think Niki is a type of person who gets obsessed with something she’s interested in, currently she’s all about 80’s and pink 😅
don’t get me wrong I love Niki though, but she’ll be obsessed with something else in coming years, and will have a totally different style.
While Gabi has never changed her style, stayed same over the years.
Love that this twins are same same but different❤
The rollers in your hair add to the aesthetic, love it!💕
If you wanted to have a little place to sit and eat at, you could get a small island on wheels, that way you can roll it out of the way when you just want your kitchen to be open. You could also roll it up next to the side of the couch and use it as a side table, plus it will give you a little extra storage space. And uf you didn't want to use a traditional looking island, you could always get a super cute vintage bar cart! 😊
your living room is so cozy omg
I wasn’t into pink as a teenager in the 00s (I was a Hot Topic girlie lol) and now I LOVE IT. Esp blush pink. It’s my new favorite color
I think the bedroom with like some fabrics draped across the ceiling would look so cute or tons of hanging plants
NIKI!!!! You're glowing !! You should truly be so proud of yourself !! Stay true to who you are and I'm so grateful you keep sharing your journey with us 💞💞💞
I’ve been watching Niki for years and seeing the growth and how happy she is makes me so proud and it’s so inspiring because I’ve been depressed for years and see you overcome it make me have hope so thank you ❤❤❤❤

But your videos have helped me with hope that eventually I will be there. It’s never too late. Also I’m so happy for you!
I love your content since 1 year approximately and your relationship with Jules seems really peacefull
Love your decoration, creative and cozy
We love seeing you find yourself Niki ! She went from a big house with unnecessary rooms to a beautiful Niki iconic studio 🥹so proud
i’m a 90s baby but a lot of the furniture my parents had growing up was from the 80s. my fave was black and gold lacquer, takes me back 🥰
Watching your videos for so many years and seeing all the different styles and such that you’ve gone through has really given me such an affirmative feeling in that it’s okay to not know exactly who you are right into adulthood and it’s okay to change what you like and who you are as you discover yourself more ❤
Queen finally posted
you litr uploaded at the perfect time! this has saved my evening
i am OBSESSED with how cute you made that efficiency look 😍😍 so little space but you did SO MUCH with it!
I love how you did it too. It's such a stylish yet cozy space. I moved to Tampa, FL from Noblesville, IN when I was 20. I just sold everything, put my three dogs in my car and drove to FL.

Love the retro style… feel like I was born in the wrong time sometimes lol

Yes! I agree that we do not need much space. I really love you Niki! I am glad to discover you way back 2022 🥺
I love all the pink and the 80s it's giving mature Niki 💖
I’m not trying to be mean just genuinely curious but why does she always has to have a phase.
I’ve noticed that too
Everyone does

Hi Niki! I love your 80s post modern themed studio apartment. I'm so happy for you!!! I would love to see a night time or morning routine in your new apartment. 💖
It’s a HUGE studio the size of a regular apartment
Niki I love you're new style! It's so you. Even though back in the day you hated pink. I've been a fan since you've had blue hair! Such growth! Personally on the shirts the red one is my favorite! Please do a behind the scenes of designing you're merch! That would be fun!
I love how she didnt hide all her stuff and pretended to live a perfect life !! Also obessed with the 80s theme right now !!
Yessss the living room is giving 80’s
Woo-hoo Monday finally gets better instantly❤
my favorite Niki era yet!!!!
this is so satisfying to watch it feels so authentic
lovee how you decorated it! really love that couch too, def looks cozy !
Love watching how you’ve evolved & your vulnerability along the way … proud of you 🎀
Your new apartment is so cute and so you! I loved how you committed to your aesthetic!
Iconik is a really cute name! I’m obsessed with a good branding moment
Sadly even a studio apartment is super expensive (here in TN it’s anywhere from $1k-3k. Cant imagine LA).
I’m in Knoxville TN and it’s so crazy
I love that we all can see this is Niki's happiest! She is thriving and looking stunning whilst doing it! I'm 23 and wish I was living her life, with the supportive loving girlfriend, the cutesy studio apartment, she just has her shit together and is living her best life.

Would love to see you do a cleaning vlog.
Would love to see you and Jules have a relax day vlog in your apartment
Would love to see you react to your old reality tv series with Jules!
You could also switch the desk chair for a stool to tuck under it and have more walking space. Just an idea 🫶🏼
You should put the curtain on the other side of the divider and use it as a plant (or any kind of) shelf 😃🪴💖
This video came at such a perfect time! I’m preparing to downsize to a studio and this video is giving me so much inspiration!!! 💖
If you want you could add fun decals to the closet doors to match your vibe it would look really cute. I did that recently to my windows and it looks so gorgeous.
Julez and you should do some drive through stuff! Mukbang fall foods or something ❤️❤️❤️❤️
I honestly think this is my favorite of all your places. I love how you separated the room. It looks Awesome.
Anyone else also noticing Niki slowly embracing and coming into her more feminine side ?
💕🌸🎀
I literally bought that same robe last week and am obsessed with it!
I love simplicity! Re; the rooms - I totally agree!!! Too many rooms feels overwhelming to me.
Im so here for “we don’t need as much rooms as we think we do” energy!! That’s what I’ve been saying for years
They say when you’re in your pink era you’re healing 💗
omg niki!!! i’m obsessed!! this fall you should do another reaction video to one of you and gabi’s 2014/15/16 fall morning routines 💀
The desk chair could be better if you got something without a back. It would give you more space and you can lean against the back of the sofa if you want back support
Congrats on your new clothing line . ❤
❤️❤️❤️

It's 15 minutes of me time watching these and i leave with a more positive and inspired attitude. Thankyou niki ❤️ also love love love the studio 😎🥳
LOVE MATURED NIKI, YESS KEEP GLOWING QUEEN 🥰
If you switch to velvet hangers, you’ll have more space for clothes😎 (they’re actually space saving!)

There is a small kitchen island separating the living room & kitchen. We don't have a stove, just a fridge, sink, microwave & air fryer. Then a small pantry.
We have a walk in closet BUT it's the only closet/storage in the whole house haha it holds clothes for all 4 of us, linens, small appliances, water heater, EVERYTHING!

Then there's the tiniest bathroom I've ever seen. Its a toilet, standing shower & sink with zero storage (so again extra towels etc. Go in the one closet)

u change ur vibe every 6 months
I love that “tv” stand!
i agree and then you must keep all these rooms tidy..just exhausting.minimal is the way to go
So cute! I have a 70s theme apartment. But I'm digging your 80s theme! 💖
my cluster phobia could never ! ( but so happy for u for doing this big change )
An interesting arch in Niki’s life. Her hair always is in pin curls and I’m not sure if anyone else is currently doing this aesthetic.
MISS Niki and PINK?????????? Proud 🩷
I feel like a beaded curtain between the entryway and the bedroom would be so cute
Do an ASMR video Niki! Like Fall Niki apartment ASMR or makeup GWRM ASMR story time/chit chat please!
always love your room tours
Damn you had a whole ass house and now a room
I’ve not been here in a MINUTE but omg Niki has a pink bed & robe love that
I have a pretty distinct decorating style too, but you make me want to make one room or a bathroom this wild and fun:)
wait wait wait hear me out!! use the bar as an island and mount the tv??
love it btw 😇🥰
Big brain move
I love the layout of this apartment; I would have so much fun decorating it.
So tight everything feels so chaotic and all over the place and i can't imagine the cooking smell being all over the apartment but you do you ig...
I love this more minimalist side of you! It’s been so fun to be apart of each chapter of your life but this time it feels different! This feels very calm and grounded 💖🫶🏼
That’s good you feel calm when your overstimulated that you go in your chair to do that for me it is singing like your songs! 😊 how my overstimulation goes away ❤️
You sound energetic and motivated 😊 I hope things work out for you here
It feels like an AD house Tour! Love it❤😗
I love the transition I've seen on this channel LOVE IT !
I live in a two bedroom apartment and it’s just me and my dog and I want to downsize so bad. I don’t need all this space but your studio is so cute and cozy 😍
OMG NIKI'S HAIR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Plz make some fall videos! Those are my absolute favorite to watch 😍
