If you think your rented house or apartment narrow and can not load all your stuff, try to see Felice Cohen’s experience in the United States. This woman was able to arrange all the furniture in the apartment area of 8.4 square meters. Felice did not have a kitchen and a bedroom in his apartment. He put a hammock which is only two feet from the ceiling. The bathroom was so small that he had to sit sideways. Despite not having a kitchen, Felice still can put the oven and small refrigerator to store food. “The bathroom is actually quite large. You just have to be careful. If not, you will hit the toilet. Sometimes, you also have to sit sideways,” she said. Overcome the narrowness of the room, the woman who is a professional event organizer is to outsmart the living room by placing a small sofa for one person, in the corner near the window.
With such a narrow area, it could have almost all functions of the residence. It contains a bed, a place to receive guests, showers, clothing store, a place to store food, as well as various other needs. Although narrow, 40-year-old woman was admitted at home. She occupies a dwelling that since three years ago. “Many friends prefer to visit me here,” she said. Felice rented the apartment for U.S. $ 700 per month. The price is very cheap for apartments in the area of New York’s Upper West Side. In this area, apartment rental prices range from U.S. $ 3,000. Compare with apartments for rent in Las Vegas. Felice found it from a friend. Having agreed a price of rent, he took out all the furniture from previous tenants. He then set up a table and shelves on one side, vanity on the other. On top of this dresser, he put a bed for one person with a short ladder. “The first night I panicked and could not sleep comfortably,” she said.
Felice acknowledge this choice was inspired by her father, a lawyer who went bankrupt and teach it to not force something if it is not capable. For him, living in narrow places is a challenge. “I am a professional manager, so narrow is the challenge of managing the place,” she said.
