A 10-minute walk from Nishi-Magome. A white building stands in a quiet residential neighborhood. This is the share house featured this time, ‘COURI015 Minami-Magome’.
As you go up the stairs toward the entrance, there is a very spacious balcony right in front of you! The sense of openness is irresistible; you might almost feel like hopping over the railing without thinking.
When we opened the front door and headed to the living room, our first words were, “So cuuute!!!!” A colorful, cute home you would never imagine from the white exterior of the building. It feels like we’ve come to an apartment overseas. Almost like being on a study-abroad?! It makes you excited yet lets you relax. A soothing share house with a somewhat mysterious atmosphere.
Please take a look♪
Ayako “There’s a rather large balcony right next to the entrance! I wonder what the inside of the house is like—I’m excited!”
Kumiko “Welcome, Ayako♪ When the balcony is right in front of you after going up the stairs, the sense of openness is unbeatable!”
Kumiko “Look, look—this many shoes will fit! This storage capacity for eight rooms!”
Ayako “Amazing! I always want to keep the entrance tidy so guests can come anytime! Storage you can hide things in is a really appealing point!”
Kumiko “The four colors of wallpaper are so cute! It’s colorful, and yet somehow calming. It feels like an overseas apartment♪”
Ayako “The wall looks Paris-like and adorable! The color scheme is a girl favorite♪ It makes you want to show it off to friends!”
Ayako “For the sofa space where you want to relax, the blue wall helps you settle down.”
Kumiko “And the softly colored lighting is calming, too. The white door stands out and is so cute♪”
Ayako “This sofa is so relaxing. I feel like I could sit for hours—it’s so comfortable.”
Kumiko “Even though it’s the living room, it feels like a space where you could quietly spend time alone! It really suits you, Ayako.”
Ayako “It’s nice that there are different spaces on the same floor so you can switch depending on your mood. When you want to lounge, the sofa; for reading magazines or eating, the table—like that!”
Kumiko “Girls’ moods change quickly, haha. You want to eat or talk in the spot that suits the moment.”
Ayako “If we group foreign-language books here, it will probably raise the style level! How about magazines on overseas interiors or architecture?”
Kumiko “Wow! I might get swept up in the mood and end up reading! It would also be nice to keep some cookbooks and make dishes together.”
Kumiko “Look at this lampshade♪ The glass is colorful and cute, right?”
Ayako “So cute! And the light is soothing. Fluorescents can be so bright they tire the eyes, so lights like this are comforting.”
Ayako “Even the hallway is decorated with various things! I’d like to display photos and such.”
Kumiko “If you put up photos from when the residents gather, it might deepen everyone’s bonds?! Shining light on them boosts the style, too.”
Ayako “The kitchen is spacious—like a house overseas! I’ll be in charge of dinner today! And you, Kumi-chan… the taste tester (laughs)??”
Kumiko “I wonder what tonight’s dinner will be♪ The L-shaped kitchen is extremely easy to use! I shouldn’t just be tasting—I need to cook properly myself, too.”
Ayako “That’s a big grill! How many servings can we make?? It seems like it’ll be a star at home parties!”
Kumiko “I’ll go all out and cook~! (laughs) Inviting friends, or eating together with the residents—that’s the charm of a share house, isn’t it!”
Ayako “Doesn’t bread and scrambled eggs seem to suit this atmosphere?! I long to have breakfast while basking in the morning sun!”
Kumiko “The feel of the bay window and the dining table is so charming and foreign! It looks like a place where you could eat calmly.”
Ayako “Kumi-chan, what will you store? (laughs)”
Kumiko “Hehe. Maybe jam? It makes me want to coordinate dishes to match the kitchen.”
Kumiko “Here’s the standing coat rack for the room. Plenty tall for dresses and coats! You can place storage boxes underneath, so it looks like you can use the space efficiently.”
Ayako “Since this season I want to hang lots of coats, I’m happy there’s a space like this. I wonder what kind of coat I’ll get this year?”
Ayako “A bay window in the room! It’s good for placing small items, and it’s actually quite functional—it lets you use the room more spaciously.”
Kumiko “The lattice of the bay window is cute♪ Indeed! It’s not only cute but functional. I want to use it smartly for storage and to display interior decor.”
Ayako “This room has lots of storage space! Isn’t it rare to have both hidden storage and display storage?!”
Kumiko “Pure white walls with pure white storage! Adorable!! Yes, having both is rare! When you’re in a hurry, go for the hidden one! (laughs) Having plenty of storage is truly delightful.”
Ayako “Even if you have worries, gazing outside through this big window might calm your feelings…”
Kumiko “It makes you a bit wistful. Views are soothing. This cute home seems soothing, too.”
Ayako “The interior of the common spaces feels thoughtfully designed, too. With lighting on it, the atmosphere becomes even nicer—so lovely!”
Kumiko “I love interiors with nature motifs. When the light hits, the shadows look great. It feels a bit like a fairy-tale land.”
Ayako “Even the storage space in the back is deep enough to lie down in!”
Kumiko “So spacious!! Lots of storage is wonderful, and if you like to sleep in, it could even serve as a sleeping space~!”
Ayako “This bath has a slightly retro feel and is cute. I want to float a duck (laughs).”
Kumiko “I want to take my time in the bath and ease away the day’s fatigue. Bath additives and ‘Ahiru Taichō’ (rubber duck) might be must-have items, haha.”
Ayako “There are two bathrooms with bathtubs, so you can take a half-body bath without worrying about the time! You can stretch your legs—so great♪”
Kumiko “Two with bathtubs—how luxurious! You won’t have to rush, thinking someone’s waiting. You can soak calmly.”
Kumiko “A bright washbasin area. It’s simple and easy to use, so it’s easy to clean as well.”
Ayako “Cleaning is done on a rotation, right? I want to tidy up after use so it’s easy for the next person and easy to clean.”
Kumiko “Go through the kitchen and past the laundry area and there’s a spacious balcony!! You can hang laundry outside, and I recommend doing a little reading while the laundry runs♪”
Ayako “Since the washing machines are away from the rooms, you don’t have to worry about noise.”
Kumiko “Yippee!!! With the size of the balcony and the blue sky, this sense of openness is irresistible!!”
Ayako “Wow!!! It feels so good. I want to invite friends, cook, and dine on the balcony. It seems like you could even start gardening or a little vegetable garden.”
How was it??
A colorful, cute living room right past the entrance, and a very spacious balcony… wherever you are, it feels like being overseas. Just coming home makes you excited.
