Tiny Studio Apartment Tour 2023 | Seoul, Korea cozy $450/month small home + Rental Tips

Hello and welcome to my first video and tiny studio rental in Seoul!

Decorating was definitely a challenge since it is such a small apartment and rentals in Korea have more restrictions compared to other countries. But through time (and a lot of Pinterest & Youtube scrolling), I slowly transformed it into a cosy space I’m proud to call home! It’s hard to pinpoint a specific interior design style of the place, but perhaps some scandi, boho and a lil cottage core aesthetic.

The two years that I spent in this home were filled with so much warmth and joy. Though I’ve since moved, it will forever hold a special place in my heart.
