Great video but I’d love to see one for small bedrooms. All of the examples here are huge, obviously in large expensive homes, far removed from city apartment living, especially outside the US and Canada. I have a double bed pushed right against the wall and it gives me less than two feet on the one side and at the foot of the bed. That’s it. No dresser, no end tables, no chairs - just not possible.
Well, you can always hang a shelf, maybe add some wall art or a mirror with a nice frame (though I'm not a fan of mirrors in the bedroom...), and also you can always make your bed nicely to make it pretty and look luxurious, and lastly - good luxurious scents are always a great way to elevate the feel in your room. Enjoy :)
The Suitcase Designer is a good channel for small spaces, her older videos when she lived in Korea were great, she lived in similar sized bedrooms to yours and managed to make them feel hotel like. Her newer videos are mostly decluttering bigger houses but all her older videos are super useful for small spaces!
We not only have a tea station in our bedroom, we have a whiskey/wine lounge in a room connected to our bedroom. The house was built in the 90s and I’m positive it was designed to be a nursery. We bought a gorgeous Pottery Barn wood and leather bar, four club chairs, a vintage rug….etc…and painted the walls a deep, moody gray. We love, love, love it and feel so blessed. I wish I could show you. ♥️ We’re “older” and we’ve kind of “earned” this luxury. We raised 5 kids…all grown…so it was definitely time to indulge in ourselves. Loved this video because I am alll about “us” in this season! Thank you!
An idea for personal belongings in the bedroom is just have a memory box (may have turned from a box to an ottoman in my case...) to just store sentimental items close to you but not necessarily display them
Not everyone sleeps better with blackout curtains - personally I find them deeply unpleasant and can never sleep well in hotels that have them unless I keep them open. I need to be able to at least tell whether it's day or night outside and preferably see outside at least a little, otherwise I wake up in panic at 3 am, wondering where I am and what time it is, as well as feeling claustrophobic. Linen curtains all the way!
Why do so many realtors and decorators decry personal decor in the house let alone in the most personal room in the house? I like a home to tell me about the owners who live there. While a hotel room can be very attractive, it’s just that, an impersonal hotel room. The over cluttering you showed was always due to unmade beds, clothes strewn on the floor, etc.,, not personal objects. Huge ho es with bars and kitchens in the bedroom just prove no o e needs a house that big and don’t even utilize the space.
Watch home worthy house tours..the most elegant stylish wealthiest designers have FABULOUS MAXIMALIST HOMES. Color! Esp deep yellow. Must be that creative ppl love yellow. Homes filled with tiny & gigantic treasures collected over a lifetime. FABULOUS furniture. They have staying power thru the decades. Stunning & global.
Im a designer and stager. The reason realtors remove personal items is to help potential buyers “see themselves” in the new home. When they walk in at a place with family pictures most people feel awkward, invading privacy or ends up distracting from the house itself. Not to count that not everyone understands what appropriate is 😂 and they display all kinds of stuff people don’t want to see, including dirty underwear and adult toys 🤦🏻♀️
My bed frame is a white iron look bed-$149. I can’t afford a lot, but I love this bed. I have 3 “misty forrest” canvas pictures over my bed and white bedspread with white, tan and first green pillows. I love the way it looks and feels!! It’s luxury to me within my budget!
I just love her sense of humor ~~~so fun to watch and also she shares very good tips for design and decor !!! I am going to watch all her videos now lol
I agree with not buying a heavy bed but I wouldn't go with an upholstered headboard. I know it is currently a big trend but even with performance fabric, ones friends have owned for a while haven't worn that well over time, especially if you have pets or like to prop up and read in bed. They need much more cleaning and upkeep than a nice modern wooden or metal frame that just needs to be wiped down. I also don't agree with not having personal items in a bedroom. I don't think it should look cluttered, but I don't want my bedroom to feel as impersonal as a hotel room, just my two cents or two posh pennies 😉
I have a heavy antique bed- it is authentically old (maybe 200 yrs). It is four poster with a roof- I love it- but our house is also over 200 yrs old- so it kind of goes with the feeling of the home. I agree that shiny, brown, pretend antique furniture is an eyesore though! lol.
Loved these tips! And I agree with buying expensive bed sheets. We bought some linen sheets and I wish we did this sooner. Every time we go to be we feel pampered now. Looking forward to hearing more tips 💕🤩
Hemp sheets are my new obsession ❤️ They are beautifully thick and luxurious and feel like the best quality linen. And they wear so well and get softer over time. They’re also way more sustainable than cotton and linen. They fit right in with your natural materials aesthetic too. Thanks for another great video!
I’m a new subscriber with notifications because I just love your ideas! Not only do you talk about the styling of the space, but you actually talk about how you INTERACT with that space. I watch a lot of design channels and some of these ideas I’ve never heard before. I particularly like the way you have considered not just physical comfort, but also mental comfort! I really appreciate the way you have realised that it’s not JUST a matter of style, but a place to support rest and recuperation from the world and its woes. I haven’t noticed anybody else addressing that… You’re doing a brilliant job! Looking forward to more episodes! 🤩
I have a roll out matress in our guest room but I've never slept better than on a traditional spring matress and box spring. It's substantial and oh so comfortable!
I have decorated my master bedroom in Parisian style. Soft pink velvet bed. Painted pink stripes in the wall behind the headboard. Mirrors and oil paintings made be mr, a large Brigitte Bardot poster, and more. A French looking chair in a corner. Beautiful nightstands with pink marbled tops, cream color rug on a dark wooden floor. I lived in Paris and just wanted that here in my bedroom. It’s bright and airy and cozy. Not over the top. I love it.
Love this. Before I moved my bedroom felt cluttered. My master bedroom in my new home is bigger and more streamlined while art adds personality. Great advice!
My sisters stacked a mini-fridge and microwave in my mother's walk-in closet, right next to the master bath. We should have added a coffee maker. It was mostly out of sight and a huge convenience for her--and for us when we needed to take care of her at home.
Marvellous video. Great tips. I can see where I'm going wrong! I have angels, fairies, gnomes and dolls in my bedroom, plus a few unicorns! Lol! It is neat, though. When I move into my next house (with more room), I will work at making my room look more 'grown up'. Wish me luck!
Bedroom chairs were made to be a stylish and sexy way to display your pile of dirty clothes LOL 😆😆 If you see a chair in a bedroom without clothes on it - it was definitely staged!
These are very good tips, thank you for them! Would you be willing to critique viewer's homes/rooms and maybe give some tips and tricks on how to improve the spaces? Thank you!

Yes yes yes , We do not have a mansion and we do have a coffee pot in our bedroom. We have a Keurig with a cup station. It’s wonderful to just be in our bedroom in the morning together, and have a cuppa coffee before leaving our bedroom to join the outside world! This started when our daughter was a teenager and she can have friends over and we could still be in our own little cave. But now it’s even nice because the dog stays sleeping until we leave the bedroom we could have a nice cup of coffee and relax and talk before starting the day.
My bedroom is like a sanctuary. Neither coffee machine nor coffee odors, no food there, nothing more than a peaceful place, despite the big space. 🤷♀️
Considering the state my kitchen is always in 🤡 I don’t think I’m responsible enough to have a coffee bar in my bedroom and have it not look chaotic with dishes everywhere. Shout out to the people who do dishes more than once a week while nine sit in the sink.
What I like of your videos is that you start straight to the point, super serious, and a bit of hard-ass, and then all of a sudden some weird emoji, Windows error chime or hair in your mouth happens. Like those Ikea showrooms in the catalog, we know it's curated just like the sterile showrooms, but there's playfulness and fun.
First, a question: you said blinds and showed horizontal blinds. Would this include roller blinds? I was thinking of getting roller blinds to layer under drapes. For beds: upholstered headboards are amazing. Especially if you’re the type to either read or watch tv in bed. They give you a nice soft surface to lean against. We had wood before, but it had sharp edges that dug into the back of your head when you leaned against it. We have an ikea platform bed and DIYed a headboard from 1/2” plywood, 2x4’s, medium density 2” thick foam and faux leather. It cost around $150-200 and is hung from the wall on a DIY French cleat (you can make one from 2x4). Granted, diy isn’t for everyone, but it’s a simple enough project if you have a little diy skill and some time and space. (I wish I had a coffee bar in my room. But there’s only about 3’ on 3 sides of the bed with just a bed, one dresser, and a laundry hamper. Our bedrooms are disproportionately small for the size of our house)
As a coffee connoisseur, I wouldn't dare put a coffee bar in the bedroom. It would take up far more space, and be an excessive waste of finances just to save on exercise to and from the kitchen. That's a TD idea IMO.
I was intrigued by your advice yo buy a bed base. In my 70 years in New Zealand I have never seen a bed without a base. They are sold together as a matter of course. In fact they are designed to go together.
awesome videos I just found your channel and I absolutely love it! It seems you only have content for indoor design but if by any luck you have good tips on small garden/patio I would be sooo grateful!
Agree on the sheets point, HOWEVER…my husband and I don’t use a top sheet, so I buy fitted sheets only on Amazon and I have ordered one of the cheapest options, but it was a modal-like fabric (unbelievers it was actually Jersey), which was crazy soft and comfy (for about 15 bucks)!
When I was quarantined for covid (the first time), I set up a coffee station, mini fridge and microwave in my 3rd floor bedroom. Only disadvantage is lugging up those water bottles!
I would like to see a video, on area rug on carpets. I wonder if it's a thing. Sometimes I see it in videos it looks good, In my new house I may have to do it, trying to keep the carpet in the bedrooms, which in the past I only had hard wood. Any suggestions?
Cole you might find some inspiration with Japanese design and bedding. Much of their sleeping and sitting arrangements are close to the floor and they do it beautifully!
If you’re fortunate enough to have a large enough walk-in closet, I can see the coffee bar there. It wouldn’t take up too much shelf or counter space if the configuration of the closet allowed. However, it does add one more thing to clean up and restock n the bedroom. 👍🏼
I’m with you- I wish I didn’t have to travel for work at all and HATE hotels, but unfortunately have to travel at least once a month. I want an IKEA bedroom!
Awesome advice always! I would love a video about tips when your room has very odd characteristics. For example, I have a loft, meaning a bunk bed with a desk underneath. So… a lot of tips can’t apply to my room. Fit rugs under the legs of your furniture? Can’t because the legs of my bunk are 1/3 out into my room and stuck to the floor. Fluffy covers with overhang? Can’t because of the thick wooden rails at the top that contains everything in. Or, could I drape them over the rails? But the hard edges don’t look quite right… Basically, my challenge is how do I improve my room when 2/4 walls are basically completely occupied by a wooden white loft, the floor has a beam close to the middle that you can’t place anything under, and I need to store a small personal library and small art studio? 😅
I say this respectfully, you can also make your home look expensive for less there are videos on that. I agree with sometimes investing and splashing out if you can, realistically, not everyone has that amount of money, or is earning big amounts. Good video, my only criticism is I wish it was more realistic and relatable for all. ❤
A 5 star hotel room's prolly the LAST place I wanna sleep. I love to see the stars...a tree fort wd be phenomenal, actually. I love to be able to hear the river, not be in urban chaos.
I don t like the idea of a mini kitchen or coffee bar in the bedroom. Also very soft rugs and fluffy carpets...not my style, i would obsess about dust and lints no matter how often i clean because of my pet. The rest of the advices i love, especially the one with buying expensive bed sheets. I learn my lesson the hard way, around halloween i bought a brick orange bed sheet and it stained my new mattress so bad, the colour was coming off even after 5 washes. It took a lot of sprays and vacuum to clean but it just doesn t look like new anymore🙁
The bit about no blinds is too rigid. Those cheap white big box blinds are indeed terrible, but quality cellular shades (which to me are a kind of blind) in the right color are magnificent. Our bedroom’s ceiling is low, and the curtains we used to have on the windows couldn’t be fit properly and made them too busy. We replaced them with good blackout shades and it transformed the room. It made the room breathe. Cellular shades have the advantage of being less busy and having a tighter stack than roman shades. You get what you pay for.
There is no such thing as timeless and the Charlotte bed is a terrible investment. For one thing the wing back bed has had it heyday and it is coming to an end fast. Worse the fabrics on that bed are the absolute cheapest and I would wager they are synthetics as well. There is nothing wrong with mirrored beds either, except that the mirrored trend got too popular and became a caricature of itself which happens with many styles like shabby chic and tuscan. If you have the money go to someone like John Himmel who will make you one like Bunny Williams's bed and Mile's Redd's bed. Those are gorgeous mirrored beds and they look expensive because they are expensive and not because of a gimmicky gold plating either. If you love mirrored furniture buy the good stuff not the cheap crap. Now that the trend is waning you can find the good stuff priced similarly to the Gallerie Z junk. Look for the antique pieces or the high end reproductions not the firewood stuff. Instead of the Charlotte bed which takes up a ton of space and might not even fit in your next place, buy a plain bed frame and a custom upholstered headboard and upgrade the fabric to something wonderful or just buy another type of headboard. If you are ready to buy real furniture order something from North Carolina not Joss and Main. Real furniture doesn't come in a flat box or with an Allen wrench.

Unfortunately with the space like that you can never get any luxuries feeling so opt for cozy instead

I completely agree! Why do I need a mini kitchen in my bedroom? Can't I just go to my regular kitchen? Why do we need 2 kitchens to clean?
@@notme7090 exactly. The European way is more eclectic, creative and personal than what Americans do.
It’s to allow room for them to imagine themselves and their possessions in the home rather than the homeowner’s?

The best video I’ve ever seen !
Thank you for being brief !♥️
I agree with buying on marketplace. I have found a lot of amazing pieces there. And it’s fun to piece it together.
I got the most basic bedframe for $110 USD and customized a DIY headboard, the latter was a major unique, upgrade for my room lol
My bedroom is like a sanctuary. Neither coffee machine nor coffee odors, no food there, nothing more than a peaceful place, despite the big space. 🤷♀️
I agree. No TV or cell phone in my bedroom, either. Peaceful!
No TV but we now read books on our tablet, which isn’t really ideal at bedtime.
Considering the state my kitchen is always in 🤡 I don’t think I’m responsible enough to have a coffee bar in my bedroom and have it not look chaotic with dishes everywhere. Shout out to the people who do dishes more than once a week while nine sit in the sink.

Loved the turn down idea so much! Doing it right now
I want to be dressed when eating breakfast....but I also need coffee, to get going, at all😆 so a coffee station, in the bedroom, is perrrfect 🥳
I love your video , I just moved in to my new place and it’s still empty 😫 I’m just so indecisive. can you tell me where to buy the best curtains .
I like some of the ideas but they do sound only workable for the big bedrooms.
Yes coffee in the bedroom is amazing I have a 3 level house I do want to go down the stairs to the kitchen
I enjoy watching all your videos

Omg those bedrooms are massive
loved this
Yes. I have a coffee bar and electric tea kettle in the master bedroom. Refrigerator not needed.
I don’t have a coffee bar in my bedroom, but I do have a George Foreman grill where I cook bacon 🥓 each morning because I don’t have a butler.
Just don't do what Michael Scott did. Keep the grill off the bed so you don't burn your foot. 😅
Last year I put a coffeemaker in my bedroom . I have to get up some days at 2 am . I love having my coffee right there.
I do turn down for my room 30-60 min before sleeping and I didn't know that was a thing!
I have small space in a room. Should I move a bed against the wall?
Nice if you want your bedroom to look like a hotel. I have spent so much time in hotels, I do not want that!
I’m with you- I wish I didn’t have to travel for work at all and HATE hotels, but unfortunately have to travel at least once a month. I want an IKEA bedroom!
I love traveling. You can do so much on a king mattress ahahaha
hahaha.. me living in my overpriced studio with other 2 strangers... listening that people have a "morning bar" inside their room..... HAHAHA
Can you do organic modern next please?
We switched to 100% linen sheets and they won me over.
Awesome advice always!
I would love a video about tips when your room has very odd characteristics. For example, I have a loft, meaning a bunk bed with a desk underneath. So… a lot of tips can’t apply to my room.
Fit rugs under the legs of your furniture? Can’t because the legs of my bunk are 1/3 out into my room and stuck to the floor.
Fluffy covers with overhang? Can’t because of the thick wooden rails at the top that contains everything in. Or, could I drape them over the rails? But the hard edges don’t look quite right…
Basically, my challenge is how do I improve my room when 2/4 walls are basically completely occupied by a wooden white loft, the floor has a beam close to the middle that you can’t place anything under, and I need to store a small personal library and small art studio? 😅
I say this respectfully, you can also make your home look expensive for less there are videos on that. I agree with sometimes investing and splashing out if you can, realistically, not everyone has that amount of money, or is earning big amounts. Good video, my only criticism is I wish it was more realistic and relatable for all. ❤
Thank you
Gold plated bed part 😁
Has anyone found a good rod for double curtains? Like the sheer ones and blackout ones together?
think maybe ikea. i put up two brass rods - one normal and one ‘cafe rod’ size or as small as you can find for the sheers
I just have trouble deciding between a large framed artwork to keep it simple, or a wooden shelf with some plants and smaller artworks above my bed.
i love large artwork!! 🤩
Ditto, posh pennies
I have a husband butler who brings me tea every morning. I wish I had a bigger bedroom.
I'd go with the husband butler over the big bedroom. 😉
He sounds wonderful!
Negative space is wonderful but what if it's really small space
I remember when the soft something my feet landed on was the 90-pound lapdog waiting for me to get up.
thanks bro
A 5 star hotel room's prolly the LAST place I wanna sleep. I love to see the stars...a tree fort wd be phenomenal, actually. I love to be able to hear the river, not be in urban chaos.
Nice, but not practical for most.
You had me at the 676 XD
Great example photos.
I don t like the idea of a mini kitchen or coffee bar in the bedroom. Also very soft rugs and fluffy carpets...not my style, i would obsess about dust and lints no matter how often i clean because of my pet. The rest of the advices i love, especially the one with buying expensive bed sheets. I learn my lesson the hard way, around halloween i bought a brick orange bed sheet and it stained my new mattress so bad, the colour was coming off even after 5 washes. It took a lot of sprays and vacuum to clean but it just doesn t look like new anymore🙁
Wish I had a morning bar. I just put a cup of water on my bathroom counter every night.
The bit about no blinds is too rigid. Those cheap white big box blinds are indeed terrible, but quality cellular shades (which to me are a kind of blind) in the right color are magnificent. Our bedroom’s ceiling is low, and the curtains we used to have on the windows couldn’t be fit properly and made them too busy. We replaced them with good blackout shades and it transformed the room. It made the room breathe. Cellular shades have the advantage of being less busy and having a tighter stack than roman shades. You get what you pay for.
Why would you want your bedroom do look like a hotel room though? Hotel vibes are the literal opposite of what homes should be.
If I wanted to live in a hotel, I'd live in a hotel.
Great
There is no such thing as timeless and the Charlotte bed is a terrible investment. For one thing the wing back bed has had it heyday and it is coming to an end fast. Worse the fabrics on that bed are the absolute cheapest and I would wager they are synthetics as well. There is nothing wrong with mirrored beds either, except that the mirrored trend got too popular and became a caricature of itself which happens with many styles like shabby chic and tuscan. If you have the money go to someone like John Himmel who will make you one like Bunny Williams's bed and Mile's Redd's bed. Those are gorgeous mirrored beds and they look expensive because they are expensive and not because of a gimmicky gold plating either. If you love mirrored furniture buy the good stuff not the cheap crap. Now that the trend is waning you can find the good stuff priced similarly to the Gallerie Z junk. Look for the antique pieces or the high end reproductions not the firewood stuff. Instead of the Charlotte bed which takes up a ton of space and might not even fit in your next place, buy a plain bed frame and a custom upholstered headboard and upgrade the fabric to something wonderful or just buy another type of headboard. If you are ready to buy real furniture order something from North Carolina not Joss and Main. Real furniture doesn't come in a flat box or with an Allen wrench.
You are very sweet classy and nice thanks for your video.
