I love how the room turned out but let’s be honest, this wasn’t a “budget friendly” makeover when a few thousand dollars worth of furniture was given for free by the sponsor.
I think the room felt more cozy, comfortable and homy before. Now it looks like a catalog, and not collected over time. Trying to mix some of her old furniture or decor pieces would have been nice to see.
I always enjoy watching you and this was a great transformation, but I feel like I was just gaslighted with the words, "budget friendly". I definitely could have a beautiful living room too if Article gave me new furniture. I thought the room ended up very pretty, but the style didn't appear to fit the house, nor the person wanting the change, even if she was grateful in the end. I would love to see some actual, realistic, budget friendly makeovers using existing furniture and incorporating inexpensive amazon finds, thrifted items, and marketplace accessories to give rooms a higher end feel.
Nice video - but I would take caution to put “budget friendly” in the title And then immediately list Article donating thousands of dollars of furniture. It’s fine to make this video - but Listing budget friendly in the title is a little misleading. Very much enjoyed the Design.
I called it budget friendly because ALL of these items are lower in budget than we would find at many of the larger decor stores. And they are definitely lower in budget in comparison to where other designers would source the items.
Get creative, do your search on similar items at a lower cost. Amazon, Wayfair, even target. These are only ideas, stop the instant gratification where you get everything you need or desire without having to do a thing. I updated my whole house by getting ideas fr9m videos n pinterest but had to do a lot of research to find lower prices or items similar to what I wanted for a fractionofaprice.
Valentina - I don't know how budget-friendly it is to get all new furniture from Article! Would love to see FB marketplace or thrifted finds in a makeover.
I was thinking the same. It's beautiful... but Article's contribution was about 5k. So the whole room for "almost nothing" or "a few hundred bucks" was actually about 5500.
Would you really? There's a reason that people sell stuff on FB or Goodwill, they don't want it anymore! Her design aesthetic is modern and forward facing, if you want a house full of old, cheap stuff you may want to find another channel!
@@user-fz1dk4yt3eAhem, older stuff is often better quality and better made. How do you think it lasts for decades? Soon, this new and straight from a catalogue look will be out of style and then what?
Old is not cheap @user-fz1dk4yt3e that's absurd to assume. Plenty of people selling new designs on FB Also missed the point of the comment is that tagine of video says budget and article is not a budget shopping
Yes, off you go. Go get your thrifted modern, decent quality pieces, which will still cost much much more than free. Seating tables rug… Any thrift stores that have any decent buys at all are almost as much as new.

@HouseofValentina I'm redoing my son's room right now and got lots of ideas and inspiration 😊❤ Article is great! I have two different couches in my living room from Article, whiskey leather and velvet navy. Love them both! Thank you for always giving us great ideas!!!

Very nice, and enjoyed how happy she was. The sofa and the side tables are stunning! Enjoy it.🌸 I am not an interior designer, and I dont want to offend anyone, but do you ever bring in antiques and natural fabrics in your decor, and pattern? I think it brings more interest to a room. I dont like rooms where everything is new and from a "catalogue". I was binge watching home decor videos on TH-cam a rainy day in my vacation, and I came accross the British homes, those are beautiful. Channels like Homeworthy, The Sunday Times Style, Interieur UK, House Beautiful UK, and House and Garden to name a few. So cozy colorful, homely, classy and luxurious.
Thanks for the comment! I don't use a lot of antiques in my designs. I definitely have a modern edge to what I do but I balance it out with lots of wood and natural elements.
@@HouseofValentina thank you for your answer, btw, I do love your videos and ideas, and have incorporated some into my own home. You have opened my eyes to the details in the fabric or pottery. Valentinas shopping days are always a fun time. 💕
The real budget friendly video would be to decorate around the existing furniture that was good quality as the host said . So maybe new rug, art, lighting , bookshelf corner as host said she likes to read and replace some items but not all😅. It’s fairly easy to decorate with all new furniture from the same company as all goes with each other. In any case love Valentina’s design style.
Really liked the room and these kinds of videos. Let's see what you could do with just $200 and no help from a sponsor. Not trying to be snarky. I would really like to see what you could do.
The best thing is to take inspiration from this makeover. I love finding higher end items & searching for the budget dupes. It takes time but it can be done. There are apps & Google search that can help you with that. I have found the same rug being sold across multiple sites with an insane price spread. An 8X10 being sold on $1200 on one site & $325 on another. The exact same rug, just not being sold under the name brand. When I rolled the rug out it had the name brand label on it. 😳FB Marketplace & sites like that are a big help. When I wanted to complete revamp my hand-me down interior, I got a job at my favorite home retailer & those employee discounts were AMAZING!!! My Mom & I both love European mid-century & modern design, so we swap stuff all the time. Where there's a will there is a way. It may take longer to complete but you will get there.
I LOVE the colors and the look however for me, the uncomfortable low back accents and sofa do not let me snuggle in to read my neck and back aren’t supported. This has nothing to do with Valentina, they make magazine furniture now instead of the normal backed items from earlier years :) and yes the budget if she had paid for it all would be nice to include :)
Bucget? Are you kidding me? 😮 My budget would just about stretch to paint! From a cheap range. Thrifted, or antique items, would be great here and there. And pops of colour.
The room is very pretty but I agree with a few others that a pop of color would be fun. The furniture backs look too short to be comfortable. She is very tall and didn’t know where to lean in the chair. It might be a challenge to read in the chairs or couch.
I am surprised ( maybe I should not be!) as to how light the colour Dove Wing is on the walls.' it's not cozy' the family can add more to it later to personalize. The designer gives them the palette and something to start with. What I would do differently, as the client likes to read, perhaps a comfortable chair in the corner, or replace one of those chairs with a more reading nook kind of chair.
@@norafl2821 You have to think OF the client and listen to their feedback. The client said she likes to read and often sits in that room to read, hence, reading nook. I would not be surprised if the client changes one of those chairs for a reading chair
Depending on how big the room is, you would need a rug that fits the space and is not too small. I have big rooms and I have seen mid level quality rugs for $1800-2200.
It’s not. A ruggable is less. Most mid quality rugs are only priced up due to the name. It’s easy to find lower priced decent quality rugs, but free is hard to beat.
Huge difference…from dated to modern. The only thing I would have differently, would have kept the big mirror on the right wall when walking into the room & painted the frame golden bronze. Mirrors reflect light & with the windows across from it makes the room appear much larger. Great job over all! ❤
I would have resanded the floors too. Just did ours and best decision we’ve made. It will lighten the space. Personally I find fake plants cheapen the space, use live indoor plants instead.
Hmmm... Budget? Most things in the reveal were new. I think she had some personal pieces of her own. And the TV could have been included, if done right. This seems more like a shopping video. 'How to purchase for a light & brighter space.' Nothing meaningful in this space. The art on the wall very generic. Nothing necessarily dreamy. The space is filled with new things, but nothing new done here. This is basic interior design work, imo
Then start your own channel. Find a client. Do their room. Film it. Edit it. And then show it to the world. And expect for others to critique you instead of celebrating with the home owner on their new room!
Valentina! I loved this! Thank you for sharing. Please show us more of these room makeovers. I have been looking for a sofa for a while and now think I may have found it thanks to this video. YAY!! Thank you!😊
What is the market value of all the new furniture and accessories? I know you are justifying the title of this video buy saying Article is less expensive that other retailers, but an HONEST BUDGET MAKEOVER usually wouldn't afford someone to buy all new EVERYTHING- from paint to area rug to sofa to arm chairs to coffee table to end tables to pillows to lighting to wall art to vases. This is quite misleading.
Finally a makeover by the House of Valentina again! I missed it and honestly got tired of videos talking about how to improve ones space, same thing over and over again. Pleae don't take this personally, just as a feedback from a decorator and viewer. 😊
"Once they sent that furniture and rug, it was easy." I bet it was! 😂 Calling this is a budget makeover and saying in the video you kept it to a few hundred bucks is absolutely nuts.
I love your channel and recommend to others. I would like to have seen how this room blends in with the rest of the home's style and vibe since it is such a departure from the original, conservative look A breakdown as to what these pieces cost would be nice to have seen as well as a final price tag. Is your practice restricted to contemporary and modern; everything I have seen so far falls into those categories?.
Understand round furnitures are in but it does feel like too many round curves in all the room now and the 2 accent chairs look unproportionally too big relative to the couch.
I’m disappointed in the “click bait” claiming transformation on a budget when the majority was donated by a sponsor. It’s beautiful but another “sea of beige” room. I’d like to see some color and use of thrifted or antiques.
Yes it was donated which means that it was in fact budget friendly for her client. This is someone's home BTW! Maybe for a split second you should stop being so selfish. The client is obviously thrilled with her room. Your opinion could actually rob her of the joy of her space. If you want thrifted items or antiques you probably need to go to a different channel.
@@user-fz1dk4yt3e there is no selfishness and I’m sure it feels right to plenty of people. It just didn’t resonate with me and I’m allowed to share my feedback. And NO agree from a paying sponsor is NOT the same as budget friendly. I appreciate your feedback.
The point of this makeover was to give her a fresh space to live in. It's her room and I'm sure that she will add some curated pieces over time. She had tried the curated look and wasn't happy with it so we gave her a fresh, more modern space.
Valentina you did it again! The room is gorgeous😍 It's modern, relaxed, airy and sophisticated. So good. You look stunning in the black dress during the reveal too!
Most youtubers have sponsors, she had already explained herself, it's still more budget friendly than some other places to buy from...some people are just unbelievable.
IMO it turned out stunning. Everyone complaining its not budget friendly, I disagree, doing a whole room like that and making it look this good is gonna be around the $5K mark for quality items. Hope Jennifer has you do more rooms. I think we all would love to see you do more client room makeovers like this as a departure from your own home since its already gorgeous.Great job.
I do love your videos and I was so excited to click on this one. I’m truly looking for some budget friendly options these days. I have to say I haven’t been this disappointed in a video in a really long time. There was truly nothing budget about this project, as your viewers are not gonna receive anything for free.
What about lighting for reading and landing zones for drinks etc. beside the armchairs? A great conversation set up, but not great for evening reading. And homework? I guess everything is on a laptop now, no need for a writing surface…
I LOVE IT!! Wow, what a transformation! Valentino, you are by far the best designer I've ever seen! I've used so much of your inspiration, making updates throughout my house! You'll never know how much you've helped me .. thank you!❤❤❤
I love the paint color and how it goes seamlessly with the floor. The floor now has it's moment to shine as well. All the furnishings and new decor look beautiful. I could tell your client was very happy with the new look of her reading room! You did a fantastic job giving your client exactly what she was wanting. Please show us more videos of spaces you do for clients. I LOVE IT! Thank you for bringing us along with you. ❤❤👏👏
Thank you! Thank you!! Thank you for doing a makeover!!!!!!!!! So nice to see Jen again, too!!!!!! I'm SOOOO excited!!!!! Your makeovers make me move and do little things to my condo. Thank you!!!!!!
I love it! I know how she must feel because all the advice you’ve given in videos and on Instagram has helped my house so much! The things I have purchased from Amazon at your recommendation have made such an impact. My husband, the other day said, I really love what you’ve done to the house! Please keep these kind of videos coming! Also, could you make a recommendation for shades?!
This is completely unrealistic because article furniture doesn’t donate to everyday people. Realistically, a room with that exact decor ( including furniture) would cost at least $10,000. So yea, it still seems unachievable for a lot of people. That being said, I love the design. It’s really beautiful!
Valentina! You are catching heck over the “B” word! lol. I love the room, however, I have a question (NOT a complaint). I noticed that you left the entire wall across from the windows blank? Can you share some wisdom here please? I’m moving in to a newly remodeled home and I am totally stumped over wall decor for the living room. My real struggle is that I’m conflicted over genre, but that’s a different problem. Tysm for all that I’ve learned from you.
It is a lovley transformation. I see comments about budget friendly. If you actually look at the Article link the items are not thay expensive. Are they Ikea prices no, but they are definitely not Pottery barn or RH prices. "Budget friendly" is relative. Take the ideas and shop what works for you and your waller.
The individual pieces are really nice, but is matchy back in style? The room looks like an Article showroom. The rug blends in with the walls and gives the room a floating feeling. I prefer the rug to anchor the room rather than blend in with the walls and furniture.
I love seeing before and afters,then I can really tell how your mind works!You are so creative and you always make the rooms feel natural and I think thats the hardest part to make it look natural,as if the furniture couldnt fit anywhere else,sorry for my bad english,im swedish,much love from me
It turned out very nicely. What a different colour on the wall does to the room. Nice also that there are accessories that can also be found here in the Netherlands. 😊
I wonder how you would have worked your magic with the original wall color. What sofa, wood and art colors would still keep it fresh? I realize the homeowner was dead set against it, however.
Please help me with my new house. I have 90’s style orangey hardwood floors. I can’t afford to restrain them right now. What can I do with the wall colors and room decor so that it is contemporary? I like contemporary, modern organic aesthetic.
The room was not dated, it was traditional. With some edgy quirky accesoires- Change the dark Coffetable and dark cupboards.. Change the perian into a flokati rug,it would be awesome. Now it ls a fasion Lounge now, no charme anymore, just modern. Sorry no
I enjoy your work and get a lot of great ideas. Beautiful room! When you color drench a room do you use the same finishes on walls, ceiling, baseboards and crown moulding? matte, eggshell, satin, high-gloss, etc

I’m so happy for her!
So incredibly refreshing! Lovely Valentina!
Exactly. What is the market value of all the new furniture and accessories? I’m happy for the homeowner, but the is whole video is crazy misleading.
Yes, a bait and switch

White boucle is only good on a jacket from Chanel, boucle on a sofa is heaven for pet hair and all kinds of dirt, word of experience.
Did you use a scotch guard or anything to protect it?

Because it is sponsored 🎉
Yes we were able to bring in all new furniture thanks to Article.

5,000 for furniture and about 300 for paint. That’s not bad at all for this beautiful room!!! I paid that for just one couch! Great job Valentino!!!
Too sophisticated for words and yet somehow still approachable and cozy. Pure Valentina magic! ❤️
Thank you! 😊

I LOVE IT!! Wow, what a transformation!
Valentino, you are by far the best designer I've ever seen!
I've used so much of your inspiration, making updates throughout my house! You'll never know how much you've helped me
.. thank you!❤❤❤
Thanks so much 😊
It’s fun to watch a room transform into something new!
I feel like I’m watching a show on HGTV. Love it 😂
Thank you so much!
I love the paint color and how it goes seamlessly with the floor. The floor now has it's moment to shine as well. All the furnishings and new decor look beautiful. I could tell your client was very happy with the new look of her reading room! You did a fantastic job giving your client exactly what she was wanting. Please show us more videos of spaces you do for clients. I LOVE IT! Thank you for bringing us along with you. ❤❤👏👏
The room looks great but where are they supposed to do homework?
Thank you! Thank you!! Thank you for doing a makeover!!!!!!!!! So nice to see Jen again, too!!!!!! I'm SOOOO excited!!!!! Your makeovers make me move and do little things to my condo. Thank you!!!!!!
I love that these videos help to inspire you!!! I hope you have fun doing your own makeover!
Love the makeovers, a little less Amazon shopping content. But I feel you have help me make beautiful rooms that I am happy with. Thank you
Nice results for sure!
I love it! I know how she must feel because all the advice you’ve given in videos and on Instagram has helped my house so much! The things I have purchased from Amazon at your recommendation have made such an impact. My husband, the other day said, I really love what you’ve done to the house! Please keep these kind of videos coming! Also, could you make a recommendation for shades?!
Thank you so much Kimberly, that's so sweet!
Amazing job!
This is completely unrealistic because article furniture doesn’t donate to everyday people. Realistically, a room with that exact decor ( including furniture) would cost at least $10,000. So yea, it still seems unachievable for a lot of people. That being said, I love the design. It’s really beautiful!
Truly fabulous! WOW!
Love this!!!! Thank you for sharing your talents and teaching us how to put things together.
Looking good!! Great job as usual. Yes I would like to see more of these❤
Thanks Edna!
Valentina! You are catching heck over the “B” word! lol. I love the room, however, I have a question (NOT a complaint). I noticed that you left the entire wall across from the windows blank? Can you share some wisdom here please? I’m moving in to a newly remodeled home and I am totally stumped over wall decor for the living room. My real struggle is that I’m conflicted over genre, but that’s a different problem. Tysm for all that I’ve learned from you.
It is a lovley transformation. I see comments about budget friendly. If you actually look at the Article link the items are not thay expensive. Are they Ikea prices no, but they are definitely not Pottery barn or RH prices. "Budget friendly" is relative. Take the ideas and shop what works for you and your waller.
I love how the sofa fits perfectly in that color scheme
Fantastic redo!❤
You never cease to inspire us!
Thank you so much!
Wow! The room looks so much bigger after the makeover! Amazing job!
The individual pieces are really nice, but is matchy back in style? The room looks like an Article showroom. The rug blends in with the walls and gives the room a floating feeling. I prefer the rug to anchor the room rather than blend in with the walls and furniture.
I love the transformation videos! I have a feeling she will want more😊
We're already working on another room together.
Budget friendly because she doesn’t have to pay for it but all those items cost thousands. Even the planters alone are very expensive.
LOVE colour drenching! I did it in my hallway and it makes such an incredible difference❤
I love how it’s so light and airy!
I love seeing before and afters,then I can really tell how your mind works!You are so creative and you always make the rooms feel natural and I think thats the hardest part to make it look natural,as if the furniture couldnt fit anywhere else,sorry for my bad english,im swedish,much love from me
I love how you transform a practical living space. please share more content like this. I love it great job
It turned out very nicely. What a different colour on the wall does to the room. Nice also that there are accessories that can also be found here in the Netherlands. 😊
Thank you! 😊
Great Job Valentine. I LOVE IT. 😍😍😍😍👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Thank you! 🤗
Thank you Valentina!
You're welcome 😊
I wonder how you would have worked your magic with the original wall color. What sofa, wood and art colors would still keep it fresh? I realize the homeowner was dead set against it, however.
Great job, Valentina! That's always what you do . . . make rooms beautiful!
Thank you! 😊
Her room looks so pretty
This is clean and lovely! And she can add things as the years go by because now the bones are solid. Dove Wing is my jam!!
I would love to see more videos like this. Great job!
Love that rug. But I guess I am just more of a traditional girl in design. The last couch I got has a higher back for comfort.
I want that wall color for my guest bathroom…. Beautiful!!!
Please help me with my new house. I have 90’s style orangey hardwood floors. I can’t afford to restrain them right now.
What can I do with the wall colors and room decor so that it is contemporary?
I like contemporary, modern organic aesthetic.
The room was not dated, it was traditional. With some edgy quirky accesoires- Change the dark Coffetable and dark cupboards.. Change the perian into a flokati rug,it would be awesome. Now it ls a fasion Lounge now, no charme anymore, just modern. Sorry no
This transformation is absolutely gorgeous. ❤ Love those before-after videos and want to see more of that. Best wishes from Germany/ Düsseldorf. 🇩🇪
Beautiful and still very cozy!
Thank you! 😊
This was so fun! I love this video! Actually watching the process is very helpful. ❤
This is fantastic! Well-done, Valentina!
Thank you so much!
Fantastic. What an elevated difference.
Thank you so much!
I enjoy your work and get a lot of great ideas. Beautiful room! When you color drench a room do you use the same finishes on walls, ceiling, baseboards and crown moulding? matte, eggshell, satin, high-gloss, etc
Wow! Wow! Wow!
Looks FANTASTIC 👏 ❤
HOW BEAUTIFUL is this transformation?!!!!!! 😃😁😍🥳🥰
Thank you so much!
Valentina, everything you do is beautiful!!! I really loved it !!!!!
Thank you so much!!
So beautiful
Thank you so much!
