      It had legs which might be removable. But I'd pull the rug out to reveal more of it if I were to take the legs off. But the bed will be the most expensive component of the makeover, so perhaps that wasn't in the makeover for budget reasons. It could be changed in the future though.

    As a Scandinavian obsessed with Japanese interior design I think this turned out beautifully! For some ideas for future decore items to add to the room I'd advice the couple to shop for items in different shades of grey and grey and grey-blues with texture. It's very true that Scandinavians usually will only consider navy for a pop of colour lol. Bamboo and lighter woods are also very Japanese and Scandi, but don't be scared of a textured very dark wood for accent pieces, like a naturally shaped bowl or stool with raw edges. Also to add patterns (in moderation mind) look for inspo from traditional japanese ceramics and the more monochromatic prints from Finnish brand Marimekko (the Oiva-series is crazy popular in Japan). To add warmth stick to textured terracotta and small touches of a dark but true red (think dried rose hips or red tulips) and mustard yellow. Tambouring is also another way to add warmth with texture rather than colours. Also if you have a larch tree anywhere nearby grab some of those branches sans needles, the branches have the perfect shapes for japandi. Have fun! 😊

    I would love it of you could talk about having to design a space for two people and one person has a certain style while the other likes something else. I feel like a lot of couples have one person who gets what they want in a design and the other just doesn't speak up or hasn't given it a thought until the room is finished and they feel like they cant see themselves in the space, they only see the more out spoken partner. I feel like a lot of design has become 'my way or the high way' between significant others where the room was only designed for one person in mind. So I would love to see a more collaborative design process spoken about, both between partners and the designer, instead of a compromise where only one person gets what they want.
    (Not saying this happened here, the room is beautiful!)

    I love the low dresser however the space to walk between the bed and dresser with the lovely pulls would leave my shins and knees black and blue. The wall sconces were spot on. I was expecting a nice chair underneath the clock. If your clients are happy and like it that’s all that matters.

    Your room is very pretty. I am concerned about functionality. The night stands are too short and have no storage for a minimalist room. The young couple will be hitting their toes on the cabinet on the floor as well as their shins on the knobs that stick out.

      True. I was thinking, why have the dresser there at all? Put it over by the window and put the tall mirror in that small corner where the dresser was. That way the big bare wall doesn't feel so empty and you can still access the dresser while having good walking room around the bed

    I think you should help DIY Danie with one of her rooms. After all of the replies to my first comment I feel I need to qualify it. I love to watch both of their videos and believe them both incredibly talented and a lot of fun. As Alexandra specifically stated she wanted to maybe do farmhouse style, and since Danie consistently is stating she is doing a type of farmhouse style and her new home, I just thought it would be fun to see the two of them together again.

    Oh dear. The overall feeling is nice, but I can’t believe how that navy dresser is a miss: so low you can’t see it, blocks the walkway, the handles are really cool but they could stab you in the legs because they project out so far. I would have done something art wise that took the whole wall at the foot of the bed, and bought a tall dresser for the side next to the bed.

My cats have ruined some of our bedding so I don't really want to invest a lot in it, as tempting as it is. This turned out great! It was minimalistic while still including *some* knick knacks, and the pops of color with the plants and the bureau. Diana's (😁) reaction was priceless, love it.

    However it is now already reach an oversaturation point, slowly losing its momentum and ( thank goodness !!) the more decorative, fun style is already gaining momentum now with stores such as FrancFranc, Zara Home , EstNation, Isetan etc providing the perfect decorative items for the more fun, more playful, colorful style.

    Currently binge watching your videos, sometimes I think "ohh no, please don't do that" and it always turns out great. Only this time ... the dresser? To deep for me. It gets in the way of a calm flow of how to walk around your bed, and since they didn't need it, maybe a less deeper one? And then again, it is way much easier to comment after than to design it ourselfs isn't it! So many people so many preferences 😅 Thank you for all your inspiration ❤

    You read my mind. I love the rugged, rustic, mountain and Native American look. Indian feathers, head dresses, antlers (moose)!Pendleton blankets,, wildlife photography and or paintings on the walls, saddles and horse shoes, western ropes and last but not least, leather and suede.
    I found a small rug that can double as a throw and it looks like a Buffalo hide draped over the back of the sofa. I also have my walls full of beautifully framed wildlife (Buffalo/tatanka), wolves etc. We have a leather sofa, loveseat and chair/ottoman in the living room. A cow hide is draped and fitted on the sofa. I found a throw that was patterned as cow hide, covered two large pillows. Now it looks like one piece.-
    I found a long slightly curved branch. Then wrapped part of it in leather and added feathers. It turned out great, looks Native American. I have a small over shoulder deer hide purse that has the long pieces of leather with beads inserted randomly that serves as wall decor when not being used as s purse.
    Sorry I’m getting carried away but this style has always excited me. Oh and I forgot lots of wood and a fire place!
