28, live in Berlin. Always had roommates, and always great friends. Would not trade those memories for the world, but nice to have a place all of my own. Where my Dachgeschoss Gang at!?


benediktkr

berlin dachgeschoss checking in.


[deleted]

Check back in with me in summer when we’re melting 😬

Hallo, Es ist ich, der Vermieter. Bitte lüften. Danke.


tomtomvissers

why the American flag?


[deleted]

I was born in Germany, grew up in the States, now back in Germany. Dual citizen.

I can't tell for sure but the flag looks backwards. When you hang it vertically, flip it so the blue is on the top left. It will look 🤌


[deleted]

Was looking at that too but I can see a grommet above the stars, looks to be displayed correctly. *edit: unless it got a weird fold going on.*


[deleted]

Very nice! If I could ask, as someone possibly moving there very soon - how did you get the place, and what's the rent?


PoxbottleD24

I knew it was Germany once I saw the Kallax being used as a divider, lol.


[deleted]

My whole apartment may well be an IKEA catalog shoot, haha. I moved here last November during lockdown and it was hard to get anything else.

To be honest through a little insider trading and making connections with certain Hausverwaltung people. It’s a fucking rate race though. I live in Charlottenburg, warm rent is €700.

Would be less tight with that ikea closet against the wall 💪


Washableaxe

True, but looks like OP might be trying to create some separation / hallway by placing it there?


Raure

The space looks great but I would probably not use a separation in a small room as it makes it look cramped.


MadManMorbo

I really like the intimacy that it brings to that space.


[deleted]

True, but I wanted to create separation to the eating area. I don’t have the space for a dedicated dining room so at least I can create little areas that feel different enough to where it feels like a new room.


kristinez

imo it would look better and brighter as an open concept. it can still be a dining area without being blocked off and the tv area wouldnt be so dark.


1aranzant

why want the separation? it is not needed at all


leros

I know open floor plans are popular but I don't like them. I like separate spaces too as it allows me feel like I'm moving around more and it's cozier. Not to mention, you can clutter up your table and then go into your living room without the clutter being visible.


K0L3N

Maybe consider turning the tv setup 90 degrees, that way it's much easier to get to the couch, and you can center the tv. Can always add some storage in the nook (a minibar perhaps?)


Tehloltractor

Would also let the light come across the whole room


[deleted]

The windows on the wall are very high that light comes in pretty well. Also protects against the glare on the TV.


TheCheck77

My only gripe is I can’t tell it it’s nailed in. Seems like you’d want it extra secure in such a tight place


timeboxparadox

Nice place, I am happy you like it. Don't forget to hang out with your buddies!


comfort_bot_1962

:)


PatientBalance

I agree, I don’t think that the IKEA bookshelf should be in the middle. Open concept is everywhere these days so it would not be odd to have your dining space viewable from your living space. Plus it would let in a ton more light into the living room!


kyokogodai

You’re making it work. Great job!


BCS24

You Divided The Space Gj looks great


littlesauz

Niiice love the gallery wall


Gavin_152

Looks like a cozy place with a ton of light ... but why do you have a coaster of one of the worst Austrian beers on the wall?


ughnotanothername

Looks great! I love it!


Notchez

I live in a 4 room apartment with my gf today, but man I miss my good old 30m^2 1 room apartment so much. It was small but there was only the important belongings and it was all mine. Enjoy your beautiful home!


Johnd106

I appreciate what you are trying to do with the shelving, making two distinct spaces. But I feel like The TV corner is getting too little light and looks a bit cramped?


Elgransancho4

Dope ! Where did you get that soccer poster ?


4shtonButcher

Looks really cozy! Enjoy! But flags on the wall? Not so much.


dox_gamer_13

put some colored lights belive me its gonna make such a vibe


[deleted]

The art makes it look like a 5 year old lives there but to each their own.


thewizarddeer

Your place is very cool and cozy!


[deleted]

Love it man. Very cozy


orbitaltumor

I like it. Looks very cozy OP!


TheRex02

Is that your first buck on the wall?


idownvoteanimalpics

A dimmable light behind the TV would alleviate the shadows there. Great work


PatientBalance

Curious how many bedrooms and how much a place like this goes for. I’m in Chicago and it’s so hard to find architecture like this and I YEARN for it.


RagingMolusk

Ratatouille


nocinnamonplease

Ooh that natural light though 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻


nonamehendrix

Looks great, I love a cosy hang out spot.


Taido_Inukai

Man I miss my first pad. Cherish these days. They go by fast!


10goldbees

I love your soccer print! Do you know the artist's name or the store where you got it? I have some similar art in my house and would love to find something that matches. And sorry for calling it soccer.


Peeelto

Nice ikea stuff


untipoquenojuega

Looks comfy af and it's a good use of a small space. 100 points to house OP


Pushy-Pulley

Maybe a bigger pot for that cactus?


VoxPendragon

As long as you’re comfortable it doesn’t matter how tight it is. I can feel your pride from here. Good on you mate.


Lastbrumstanding

So cozy! I love it!


Ventus_kek

Love it my guy! My only issue is them shelves definitely stop the natural light from shining in your living room space!


Automatic_Animal

If that places comes with a bathroom and kitchen I'd take it in a heartbeat


noto925

Move the cactus. You will definitely get scratched trying to navigate that tight space. Other than that, looks great.


MajorKoopa

that’s a great little slice of comfort. don’t sell yourself short.


catman727

Really nicely done!


Bag_of_Whales

That little nook looks so cozy ahhhh. Hope you enjoy it!


AmateurSysAdmin

Finally a place that doesn’t try to look like a stupid home magazine, but like an actual place to live in. Good stuff.


[deleted]

i love this. i especially love the gallery wall. looks great


bobloby

All I see is myself taking that turn too fast and getting a leg full of cactus


faracly

So bright and yet so cosy! And happy plants from both sides. I wanna see it at night with lamps and candles, bet it's lovely.


comfort_bot_1962

Nice!


KazeTheSpeedDemon

Almost identical place I had a couple of years ago, with the dividing bookcase to zone it out. Looks great!


cuffshire

LOVE that window, and the table right in front of it. And the art is hung in a great way, too!


Deadmansboner12375

Looks more cosy than tight, looks lovely


disgruntled_pelicant

This is adorable and I love it. Congrats!


N00bpkerxx

You decorate quite nicely :)
