Hey so I'm at my aunt's apartment in
Tehran Iran and this is actually
probably the third apartment tour video
I'm doing for my Youtube channel but I
just can't help it because there are so
many amazing apartments and homes in my
family I have a lot of really talented
decorators in my family and I really
really wanted to show you guys you know
show off their style and I also wanted
you guys to see what an apartment looks
like in the Middle East and
specifically in Tehran Iran because
it's really a lot different from usually
what you find in the United States I'm
actually going to start with my favorite
favorite favorite part of this entire
apartment and just I don't know
it's the way it looks in the mornings
when you wake up specifically that
window back there and the window is
filled with those beautiful pink flowers
just really really makes you happy in
the morning so the washer is actually right
here in the kitchen which is pretty
common I feel in Iran and maybe in
other parts of the world too and they
really don't do dryers here in this part
of the world we pretty much hang out
your clothes on a line to dry outside on
the balcony so very open kitchen design
so you can be cooking all day and
working in the kitchen but you still get
to see the entire apartment so it's
really really nice I really like what
they've done with the cabinets because it
used to be wood I think and they
changed it to these really nice new
cabinets one of the things I like is that
the ceiling is actually green so I just
think that's kind of cool because I've
seen popcorn ceilings you know
back in America and flat ceilings but you don't see
like painted ceilings like this all that
often I think it looks really nice and
of course every person household has to
have a samovar so a traditional you know
tea kettle type situation that we use
to brew our tea every morning and
honestly all day long so over here is
the formal dining table
we don't usually eat here much unless there's a party or
something like that something special
going on what I wanted to actually point
out about this area is this piece right
here because actually my aunt did this
herself so I believe the underneath 
is wood and then I believe she said it
was I don't know if it's clay or some
kind of resin but I don't exactly know all the
processes that she uses I'm not an artist I
just know that it's really really
beautiful and she did it all by herself and
actually if any of you think that you
would want something like that she
can actually do that for you to custom
order so just let me know leave a
comment down below if you're interested
in artwork like that so this is really
where we spend most of our time
at least where I've spent most of my time since I've been
here what I love about Persian homes is
like even in a small two-bedroom
apartment chandeliers like everywhere so
we've got a super fancy chandelier up
here there's actually another chandelier
right over the dining table back
there so chandeliers everywhere it's so
Persian seriously you cannot go into a
Persian home without there being chandeliers
at least one but usually more
than one in every home and the other
thing that I want to point out that I
pointed out in my other Tehran apartment
tour video for my cousin's apartment is
that all of the floor in here is
tile and that's something that's
really huge in Iran is that the floor is
pretty much everywhere I've been it's
always tile so you don't really see a
ton of wood flooring and you definitely
don't see carpet very often a lot of
tile and then of course
Persian rugs over the tile so in this
house i don't know if you got 
to see but there's rug all over the place
and so that's what makes it feel homey 
but I feel like having the
chandeliers and the tiles and the rugs makes even the smallest apartment just feel so
fancy and like a little Persian palace and
then all of the colors you see on the
wall were painted by my aunt it actually
looked different a couple of years ago
when I was here um she actually just
redid everything recently so this is
kind of brand new for me too and I think
it looks fantastic I wanted to also make
sure to point out this mirror because
this mirror is also custom made by my
aunt so the underneath once again is
wood and then actually all of these fish
and figurines and flowers and all these
little things that you see on here were
made out of clay and then painted by her
and you know she created this entire
frame for this mirror by hand custom of
her own design so again if this is
something that you'd be
interested in a custom order I know
that she would be happy to do that for
you so leave me a comment and let me
know but yeah I feel like this is
really it when it comes to the living
room I just really love the color I love
how happy it is I love how open it is um
and then this is such a nice little
touch so the layout of this place is so
open but then there's these curtains
over here and then this is sort of a
bedroom and bathroom area and so another
interesting thing about Iranian
apartments is that usually they have an
Asian squat toilet and then they usually
many of them also have sort of an
american-style toilet and usually the
american-style
toilet is in the same group or same
place as the shower um so like right
here this is very interesting you'll see
that like this is the shower back here
but then also on this side there's
actually an american-style toilet but
here's the interesting thing about
american-style toilets in Iran 
is you can't flush toilet paper the
sewage system in Iran is not made handle
toilet paper so even if you use an
american-style toilet you still have to
use the hose and wash yourself the
Persian way so over here on this side is
the other bathroom which is the Iranian
style squat toilet over here but I also
just think it's very cute and again all
tile nice little touches in here
but yeah so usually there are two
bathrooms one of each style at least
that's what I've experienced okay so I'm
going to take you into one of the two
bedrooms this is the main sort of master
bedroom back here again the wall
colors everything were chosen by my aunt
so we can see that the theme of this
apartment is really a lot of sort of
neutral earth tones but even though it's
a lot of neutral earth tones which
aren't always my thing it's also very
white and very bright and very open which
is another thing that I love about this
space so I have another thing that I
want to point out is kind of this
traditional Persian mirror I had one of
these in my room growing up and I feel
like you see these in Persian homes all
the time and also this is like a
traditional Iranian girl I see a lot of
things like that
alright and so in bedroom number two this
is actually where I've been staying
during the time that I've been here so
it's actually a little bit messy because
all the new cases and all my stuff fell
into place so don't blame my aunt
that's my fault but let's come on in and
I'll show you where I've been staying
and so back here is you know one of my
second homes in Iran so I feel like I
have many second homes here and this is
definitely one of them so I've been
sleeping in this bed and then this wall
she painted a kind of reddish
earth tone red which is different than
the last time I was here but I think it
looks fantastic and then we also have a
chandelier in this room as well but
it's a different style not quite as
blinged out as in the living room but
still definitely they're into their
chandeliers over here in this part of the world
actually it um this is the last night
that I'm going to be spending here in
this apartment on this trip so kind of
sad but I wanted to make sure that I got
a video tour completed before I left
because it's something that I've wanted to do
for a long time and actually with all
the new changes that my aunt just made
it looks even better so I knew I had to
get a tour of this place up on my
YouTube channel to show all you guys
so anyway thank you for visiting I hope
you enjoyed it I hope you got some good
decor ideas and if you want any custom
artwork make sure to leave me a comment
down below and I'll get you in touch
with my aunt but thank you guys so much
take care
