Korean Modern Apartment

Most expat in Korea have accommodation, fully furnished when a job is being offered here.
We are one of them.

Since our owner is selling the studio apartment we are staying in,
We are lucky enough to move to a bigger house!

For those who doesn't know what is studio apartment, it's like a big room where the kitchen, toilet, basically everything is inside the little room apartment, think big room hotel.
It's quite hard for us to live in the little studio room, one of the reason, our family loves to come and visit us here.

So, having a bigger 2 room apartment for a us, in fact a bliss.
Especially when my mom and grandma coming soon, followed by others in the following months.

We took a peek look of our little apartment today.
We are still in the processing of moving things, hence it still looks empty and clean.
Okay, maybe semi clean since the house cleaner is in the midst cleaning the whole house while we are taking pictures.
The kitchen. Check out the bar area.

What previous owner left for us.. love the garden'ish' blinder

Cooking area. Underneath is hidden freezer. Yeay!

Washing Machine and heater.

Guest room. Check out the built-in wardrobe

Master bedroom

Only one toilet, but it's alright

Huge built-in wardrobe. Happy!!

Oh, and my shoe wardrobe is half of the wardrobe size. (Which I did not take pictures)
  
Anyway, enough of my dreamy dream.

The pictures that I took just now is basically how Korean apartment looks like.

  • Generally, all Korean apartments have heating floor, derived from ondol floor system (all wood). Ondol is a heating system that is distributed through the floor.
  • Also, usually the apartment is furnished with modern design.
  • There are no built-in oven, as Koreans rarely bake in cooking. However, one can purchase.

Anyway, this is how basically how modern korean apartment looks like.
If you like some colors, it's up to your creativity to enhance the apartment.
Now, I'm thinking.. gardenish theme for my new house.. hmmm...
