A Charming Home for Two in Shibuya



Hello☆ The share house we visited today is “nature+TK,” located just a one-minute walk from Shinsen Station on the Keio Inokashira Line. It is a renovated property that had just opened in November 2013 in Shinsen, a quiet residential neighborhood very close to Shibuya Station☆ The cozy French-inspired color palette is sure to delight anyone who loves charming interiors, and the house is exceptionally stylish~.*・ It seems like a place where you could forget the hustle and bustle of the city!
Now, let’s begin our report♪


First, watch our Girls’ Review video♪


Hitomi: “This is the entrance♪ Isn’t it a lovely house? I’m so happy to be welcomed by an olive tree.”
Alice: “The entrance is completely white and so charming♪ The door is a genuine antique imported from the United States, isn’t it? Amazing!”


Alice: “Hitomi, I’m home~♪ When I open the door, I find a warm and inviting space coordinated in white and natural wood tones! It’s wonderful!”
Hitomi: “Welcome home, Alice♪ The colors really are soothing. Even the faucet handles at the washbasin are retro and adorable.”


Alice: “The shoe rack also has that warm, natural wood look! You could get creative with this open display-style storage.”
Hitomi: “There’s plenty of storage! This looks like it would be enough even for two women living here.”


Alice: “Since there is a washbasin near the entrance, you can make sure you look your best before going out.”
Hitomi: “Exactly♪ Mirrors are magical—they give women confidence! We want to look our cutest before heading out♪ You can see all the way from the entrance to the back of the house, so it feels wonderfully open and spacious!”


Alice: “What a cute kitchen! I feel like I could cook well here☆ What shall I make today~?”
Hitomi: “I’d love to try your cooking, Alice~. I’m looking forward to it♪ The kitchen looks spacious and easy to use. Tableware is also provided, so you don’t need to bring your own♪”


Hitomi: “Hmm-hmm-hmm♪ Even this dishcloth is cute♪ The white tiles and hourglass add even more of a French touch.”
Alice: “Cooking utensils are also provided! The IH induction cooktop is safe to use, and it is easy to clean too!”


Alice: “Wow, there is plenty of cutlery too! With all of this, you could invite friends over and hold a small house party☆”
Hitomi: “You’re right! There is so much! They have paid attention to even the smallest details♪”


Alice: “There are so many modern appliances! You could move in with just your personal belongings and feel completely at ease!”
Hitomi: “Yes♪ Appliances are expensive, so it is wonderful that you do not need to buy anything extra.”


Alice: “The front-loading washing machine can wash a large load at once☆ Hitomi, do you have anything you would like me to wash?”
Hitomi: “Well, in that case, perhaps my dress... Just kidding! (laughs) It’s a SHARP front-loading washing machine! It even has Plasmacluster technology!”


Alice: “Hitomi, you look so sexy♪ The shower room is also coordinated entirely in white, giving it a neat and clean appearance!”
Hitomi: “I’m in charge of being sexy, after all (laughs). I’m also happy that the showerhead is generously sized. And there is a hanging rail in the shower room, which is very convenient!”


Alice: “This is the living room! The mosaic-painted wall incorporating pastel colors is incredibly stylish☆彡 The television can also be adjusted to make it easier to watch, so I feel like I could end up spending a lot of time here!”
Hitomi: “You’re right. The houseplants, the sofa, and the wall-mounted television are all so stylish! Apparently, a designer created the interior for the entire house. That makes perfect sense!”


Alice: “The arrangement of the accessories by the window is also carefully considered♪ The message board is placed where everyone can easily see it, making it convenient to leave messages.”
Hitomi: “A message board! That’s a great idea! There will be things that residents want to tell one another! A chalkboard looks so stylish too♪ As someone who loves plants, I’m especially interested in this succulent!”


Alice: “There is discreet storage even here! You could use it to store extra household supplies♪”
Hitomi: “No space is wasted. It might also be a good place to store items that you do not use very often.”


Alice: “This is Room 01! Everything is coordinated with natural wood, so it feels very relaxing♪”
Hitomi: “Yes♪ The wooden blinds make the room feel even more sophisticated! The bed is also provided, so you can move in without bringing much furniture☆”


Alice: “You can hang your clothes in front of the bed, so you can prepare your outfit for the next day before going to sleep. What should I wear tomorrow?♪”
Hitomi: “I see! You can prepare your outfit for the following day. Alice, you really know how to stay stylish!”


Alice: “The lighting is so bright♪ It is natural yet stylish and cute—it feels like an apartment in Paris (*´∀`)!!”
Hitomi: “Yes, it does feel Parisian♪ Bright lighting works perfectly with the white walls! Hanging the light a little lower makes it look even more stylish!”


Alice: “The rounded door handle also has an antique appearance.”
Hitomi: “The combination of white and gold is lovely too! Even the keyhole in the center looks adorable.”


Alice: “The room-number signs are incredibly cute!”
Hitomi: “Aren’t they? The house-number sign at the entrance uses the same design♪ It feels like we have stepped into a Disney movie.”


Alice: “This is Room 02. Hitomi, may I come in?♪ The floors in both rooms have been painted white with an aged finish, giving them an antique appearance, haven’t they?”
Hitomi: “Of course♪ This is a long, narrow room. Since the shared areas are spacious, having a slightly more compact private room may be just right.”


Alice: “Both rooms are properly equipped with clothes racks, which is great for women with large wardrobes♪”
Hitomi: “That’s right♪ There is also a rail, so you can hang plenty of clothes, and you can place items on the shelf above as well.”


Alice: “Both the exterior and interior have a charming, feminine design reminiscent of a Parisian apartment! With Shibuya Station a 10-minute walk away and Shinsen Station only a one-minute walk away, monthly rent of ¥70,000 is very attractive!”
Hitomi: “It really is in a great location, and the rent is affordable! And isn’t it wonderful that just two women can have the entire house to themselves?”


Nearly the entire detached house had been renovated, making it feel almost like a newly built home☆ Since the property was produced by a professional designer, the space in this compact, single-story house had been used exceptionally well. It offered plenty of storage, a spacious living room, and a wonderful sense of visual openness♪
The overall French café-inspired atmosphere was extremely charming, while the warmth of the natural wood created a soothing and relaxing space☆
