How much space do you need?




Life in Tokyo is packed, the trains are full, the shops are full, you have to wait in line from time to time just to go to a restaurant. 

And the living spaces are smaller than we are  used to have.
It is one of the biggest issues that foreigners face.

I  also faced this dilemma I thought that my place, when I had before  moving  to Japan.   was  so small. I was deadly wrong .  Now I have accustomed to my place in Tokyo, benefited every single square feet I  have had, and never wasted  any space. My first wave of change started with not wasting any space. And even if, the places are  so small, they are  functional and always with deep closets that can serve  much more than a closet .  I even thought  that some of them can be a small baby section in main room. It is that big. 

Then comes the second wave…The part that  I questioned what I need,  what I have , and what I want. ….
And also used KonMAri method …

It was a life changing wave. Right now, I live in a smaller space, again there is a good multipurpose  closet. And I think the space is well designed and sufficient.  And, to be honest, I think it is enough. I have all I need, it is not stufffed. 

These experiences that I have in Japan made me understand the value of space and the right use of space. 
I am now in the third wave to make my space more zen and peaceful. I feel like this style became part of me.

Cheers,
Ece
