I Made Over A Stylist’s Rental Apartment Closet | Ikea Closet

- Hey guys, welcome back to my channel! I’m back with another makeover and this one is a huge transformation! I went into my friend Layla’s closet and made over the entire space, plus helped her get organized. Layla is a stylist and loves all things vintage - clothes and decor. But her closet felt really cramped. Her beautiful shoe wall was being covered by her clothing rails and the furniture she had just didn’t fit properly in the space. I wanted to create a room for her that was open, airy and that showed off all of her clothes and let them act as decor for the room. I’m so happy with the transformation and hope you do too! The best part is that this is a renter-friendly closet - no holes or built-in wardrobes required.

You should do a whole video where you design a room only with furniture and home decor pieces bought at a thrift store or various ones. that would be soo cool😊🏠
Tatiana Zalewski yeah like a challenge
Love. Love. Love. This idea. Shop from home...that would be sweet!!!
I really love this makeover! My only suggestion is that the curtains should be hung a little higher. Curtain rods should be hung 1/3 or 1/2 of the distance from the top of the window frame to the ceiling. In this case, it would also help with the pooling of the curtains on the floor too.
Are you saying it's supposed to be higher?
@@anuugoo yes. :) That way, it makes the window look taller. It also solves the other problem of the curtains dragging on the floor.
And I would also steam the curtains :)
Yes i agree, but i just think that she didn't want to put holes in the wall. I personally loooove the curtains high but sometimes im just overwhelmed with all the holes im going to put in the rental 😏
I had to wait until it got to the curtains, but it looks like she made new holes anyway. It definitely should be higher. But overall the room looks nice
I loved this because I have an online boutique and run it from my home so everything has to be kept there. I also sew and make things for the shop and myself so I have TONS of supplies and crafts. I'm always looking for great storage tips for small busy items. I too use Ikea a LOT in my office space and have recently been trying to do a makeover because it became more of a storage room and I couldn't even work in it. I love your use of the clear acrylic holders as well. Layla has beautiful items so it's fun to see them but you did it in a way that it doesn't look cluttered and busy. I only hope I can achieve the same in my little office soon.
Gorgeous! You really met her needs and listened to her personal style while also making it a chic and functional space!
Really enjoyed this longer makeover ... pretty but more importantly functional.
this was so so satisfying to watch (PERFECT white paint choice 😉😉😉)
Samantha Warden just pulling out a SW special 😏
It's gorgeous. I have a shoe wall too, and did the shelves at first (actually the LACK ones from IKEA), but eventually I changed them to Billy book cases, and it looks gorgeous. One thing I find that gives a 'messy' look though is arranging shoes like you guys did in this video. I know it saves space when you let some shoes turn forward and others back, but it looks so pleasing to an ocd type person if the pairs face the same way. You can then turn one pair forward, and the next back to save space - but it also looks so much more organized. :)
Maybe becaus its so fully packed.. i have ocd too
The mirror hack is genius. For a space like this. Functional and adds that element of larger space. Nice one.
Why dont you hang up the curtains all the way up? It usually makes the room look bigger and the curtains are draping in the floor now anyway 🤔
Absolutely wonderful. So glad you kept the blush accent. Wish you could've kept the flamingo print. Who would've thought mustard and blush work; the rug helps this. You always make me want to get up and clean something. I want cute too!
👍somebody finally uses would 've & could've rather than would of & could of , irks me beyond grey hairs lol , when the latter occurs 😳 !!
@@Richard-oc3vt 😂
Richard anguiano omg it makes me cringe!!!!! Triggers my anxiety!
I love the straw baskets with the label attached with a butterfly clip! So simple, but yet so cute 🙌🏽 also this room turned out amazing!!
You have a great eye for details and creating thoughtful spaces. That Ikea closet is a game changer.
My favourite part about this is how you and Layla reconnected. It's very sweet.
I agree! MOST EPIC! You have brought the calm to the chaotic! 😍
Layla’s closet is bigger than my bedroom! Haha
Love how it turned out!
Ha I was gonna say the same.
Because it is a bedroom.
It’s bigger than my whole flat 😂
I love this! Very nice and organized! I recently took everything out of my closet. Painted it white, put purses and shoes on display and it made a huge difference ! It’s a walk in closet but not huge. Added cubes, clear tray, a pic of my BFF & I even added lighting for the inner diva 💁♀️
I am now doing my daughters closet because she loves mine 👛 & this is getting me excited all over again! Thanks 👍🏻
Love it. Suprised how the armchair helps tie together the pink and the gold.
Now all she need to do is keep this organized with the one in one out rule cause those shelves are fully packed
For people who DONT like an open closet; they can just install a curtain rod at the very top and hang a neutral color curtain (preferably one that matches the walls to further "camouflage" it). Then when you need to grab anything it just slides open like a shower curtain does. And if you're really crafty you can prob install wheels at the bottom for easy moving when its time to get it out of the room.
Absolutely fantastic! You’ve transformed this room completely. I love that you made so much space that you could bring in an armchair and fit it in without making the room look cluttered! Loads of room for her to walk about in. I love it!!
Just from an armchair critiquing perspective......I would have switched the Billy bookcases with the open clothing storage (which I loved the look of) - I think it would have looked better by the shoes & the bookcases would not have been so in your face as u walked thru the door. As others have commented curtains should have been hung higher & steamed. One more thing it might have looked nice to have a removable wallpaper on the back wall of the Billy bookcases - you know behind the shelves - a cute print that would have pulled the pink door & curtains together. But overall the room looked so much better & was fun to watch!!
Love this solution so much! Love vintage, love organization, love the baskets with the little tags on them, love the mustard chair, the added doors to the shelf. This gave me a lot of tips, thanks!
What a stunning transformation! I'm so jealous of this closet, lol.
You do such creative redos....simple...clean...functional....and user friendly. We have similar design ideas....but you definitely have more ideas than me. Btw....I forgot to comment on your patio makeover....so inviting....my fav was the light with a BATTERY operated BULB....whaaaat....love everything you do.
This is amazing! It just kept getting better!
Love the pink and mustard colour combo 💛
I'm a huge fan of this makeover. The use of trinkets and baskets from thrift stores looks great. I would live a velvet chair too. It all looks great!!!
Love these makeovers! Somehow they motivate me to declutter and clean my house!!
haha totally, i felt OMG SO MUCH STUFF @_@ *overwhelmed*
First I would like to say, this channel is one of two channels my partner and I watch together. We love it!
I have a VERY similar closet/room attached to our bedroom. My old closet was absolutely perfect. I wish i was joking when I say it took me years to perfect it. When I finally nailed it decided to move about a year after, now I'm starting all over. I wish you could just come to my home and help me too 😭
None of my textile and merchandising training has fully helped to manage my closet.
These makeovers are inspiring. I am glad that businesses are donating to your projects too!
You are my favorite YT channel! I don’t have anything to remodel anymore, but I just enjoy so much your videos and how creative you are! 🌸
Yes, epic! Love the pink blush door! Great job!
Forget about the decor! I’m loving the happy, perky vibe you have going!😊
Love the pink velvet curtains a fantastic way to give her the pink but still have white walls. Also I love the fact that the mirror is frame less. Well done.
Great work it looks so nice it is more cohesive. Great choices as usual Alexandra. I want to shop in that closet! 😍
My fave makeover so far.
From someone who is old enough to be your Mom, thank you for your videos 😊 You are uber talented, easy to listen to, and don't take for-EVER to get to the point! And bonus points, you're Canadian 😉 Keep up the amazing work! 💛
Love the mustard and pink!!!
Huge challenge for me: sweaters. Bulky knits, which I love wearing and need to wear since I live in the freezing cold Canadian prairies. I have a lot of them, but my fold and stack method is not working, because if I want to pull out a sweater in the middle of the stack, the whole thing topples over. And if I tried putting them in a dresser, say, I’d need 3 huge dressers because big sweater are space consuming. I’d love to have some ideas on how to manage my Cold Canadian Girl sweater wardrobe:)
KJ Konkin I’ve had the same issue! I store mine in an IKEA chest of drawers, and it always turns into a mess when I fold them and stack them on top of each other. I gave the Marie Kondo folding method a go and it works a treat!! Just have a quick google “Marie Kondo Sweater folding” - so worth it for drawers! If you don’t have a drawer, try getting some material bins (not basket becauSe it will pull on the fabric) and sorting them upright in there, and then place the basket onto the shelf 😊
I have my sweaters in shoe organizers hanging on my closet rod
What about a box and kind of slot them in so you can see them all at once. Like instead of folding and stacking them top to bottom stack them front to back. When you take one out they won’t fall apart because they are in a box
I bought those wire grid cube organizers that you can find on Amazon and put one to two layers on the shelf in my closet. All my sweaters are rolled (to the best of their ability) and I organize them in each cube by color. That way I am stacking less together, and when I pull one from the bottom they don't fall due to them being rolled. Not sure if I described that well...
Try folding them and storing them upright, like Marrie Condo does. I live in the Netherlands and also have a lot of sweaters, which I store upward in drawers. Do not hang them, because it can stretch them.
Absolutely beautiful/ functional 😍
She got rid of a A LOT of clothes! The space looks very pretty, job well done!
Going to use some of these tricks love her vintage finds
You made the number one window treatment mistake. Never hang your curtains right at where the window begins, hang them as close to the ceiling at possible! It pulls your eye upwards and makes the room feeling larger and taller!
RIGHT! We were so sad we couldn't hang it higher (I still have a hidden hole I have to fill from us trying #rentalwoes (My walls are pure drywall! hahah yeesh) But you are SO right. It pained Alex and I to hang it there
🌸Thx. Hearing these kind of details (esp about rental woes) in a makeover is very helpful.
🌸 Plz hang art lower on wall. The marvelous Ms. G has a habit of hanging posters & wall vignettes too high. They should be @ 👁level (center of piece should roughly be 60" from floor).
🌸 💗 Propped, even layered, art on consoles, ledges & inside cabinets. (Don't mind as much how high art on shelves in cabinets go.) Good idea to use command hooks & picture wire to keep them from falling & breaking.☺
@@teresacarle294 agree.... I mentioned that about the artwork it's hung too high and I probably would not hang up my hat's I want those in hat boxes to keep them from getting dusty and dirty. 😉
I made a similar mistake hanging mine. I placed the brackets too close to the window frame.
You need to move the brackets as far apart as you can so you can draw back the curtains. They're currently blocking in the curtains in the closed position. I had to redrill and use filler on the inner holes, but the curtains cover them now.
Literally rule #1
That pink door is a mood!
Really well done, Alexandra!!
Vintage egg cups for blenders for the win!
Watching this again. Great job, as usual, Alexandra! Hope you get to do more room transformations like this in 2020
Great job!! And she has lot of beautiful pieces but I love your shoes!! 😍
Nice!
Would love to see each video show panoramic view, to see full picture at once!
So awesome! I love the white walls with the pink door, just that little pop of color, and who doesn't love pink? That shelving unit from Ikea is amazing! Everything has a place and it does look like you can just shop right off of the rack, I like that feature. This just makes me want to clean my own closet and dressing area and make it more user friendly, also give everything a fresh bright coat of white paint, lol. Great video.
My first video with you 📽 love the makeover. The room definitely looks much bigger. I love all the details, that you put into it. And, for the Ikea closet nice😻👌🏽👏🏽
LOVE this!!! thank you for all the amazing tips
This turned out so great! Functional yet beautiful.
Small tip, with love, from a sister decorator... I love your vids by the way :). You keep me inspired.. Try hanging your drapery brackets farther out from window frame, & closer to finials. This allow the fabric to drape straight & comfortably, when in the open position. while also helps create a sense of a larger window. Get me? Best to you in more fun content!! Thanks!
I love how you make clutter go away!! I want town my whole house!!
It cracks me up how what's considered a walk in closet in the usa/Canada is about the size of a studio apartment in Europe!
This is probably my favourite video of yours! So many great ideas 👏🏼😊
Amazing job done! Really love this space xx
The after looks AMAZING 🙌
Storage help...Cute basket idea options for socks and etc.
Lovely space🥰you are the best!!! Great job and such good ideas 👏🏻😉🥳
You should do a video on scarf organizing!!!! I have like a hundred of them no matter what I do the storage looks messy. Can you think of something which would actually like display all of my scarves without making them look bulky or messy? I have a feeling you can turn this into art!
Woven baskets look pretty stowed above a cabinet or on floor, but I worry about dust. Those clear acrylic boxes w/lids seem best for neatly color coded & folded scarves. Labels aren't always required.
This is beautiful🌷🙌🏻
Great job❤️
That ikea dressing rack/cupboard is so nifty
I love it!! It’s so lovely! I’m struggling with my clothing storage space too but I live in a very small space in a RV.
I so need to do this for my summer closet. I have a room like this for summer clothes. I struggle with shoes and clothes in the same space when you have two layers of clothes hanging. I like the way you did the shoes on one wall and clothes on a separate wall. Looks great!
Well Done!!! I really love the transformation!!!
WOW... absolutely love it!
This makeover is literally my dream come true 🥰
Madeleine Klein same! I want her closet 😻
um same! Still pinching myself ya'll
I LOVE that mirror!! I need one for my bedroom.
I love your videos!! So much creativity!!
The room feels so peaceful. Love your choice of carpet
I have a similar acrylic organizer for my essential oils. Love all the tips!
Omg I love the pink door!!
You are so talented. I am always curious to see the final results. Always lovely :)
i love it!
I own a attic apartment, and it's make me crazy when i start to looking for wardrobe furniture, all looks so big and in the end i can't use normally my space. I love if i have less future, more space! place for the air.
OMG amazing makeover, it went from teen closet room to chic boutique look. I do agree the storage closet and bookcases were a hit and the lamp and that mustard wing chair gave it a cozy feel along with the oriental rug. I have a double closet with the 4 sets of metal paneled doors, a lot of dust accumulates on those openings and the space at each end inside the closet is weird and nothing fits in there and is like wasted space all the way from the floor to the ceiling.
Such a great closet!
Great transformation! I really like the white walls, touches of blush and gold, and citron chair. Would love to have this closet!
Love it! Love makeovers in general 😍😍😍
You have a great eye. Everything looks beautifully organized. ⭐️
I love this channel . You give me so many ideas !!!
Love, love, love it! I'm trying to make such a room. Really cute storage/display ideas here. My problem is too many big furniture items in there.
Stunning makeover! Well done!
love it!! Im filling my new spare bedroom walk in closet as I watch this!!
Another great makeover! Well done!
Love how the room turns out but fake plants should never be the way to go! Their plastic, they accumulates dust, their colour fades after a couple month and they're ugly!
You obviously don't have cats in your life. ;) Most plants are toxic to cats, so fake ones are definitely the way to go for some people. Also... fake or not, you need to shower your plants once in a while as dust will settle on anything in your home. It's called cleaning. Most people do it. ;)
@@saafiiiraa saafiiiraa I do infact have cat and I don't have plants inside. Fun fact, growing up I'm the only one that had to deal with the fake plants my mother decided to buy so last time I declutter I decided the house would not have fake plants anywhere and tbh it looks better without the fake plants and my parents love it! *they where hesitant at first cause all the interior advice they got always tells them you need green, even if it's fake ones* And if you really love plants and your cat you would do research if not then don't have any plants, fake or not! You can put art piece to fill the void or you can just let it be empty, it's behind the door nobody's gonna mind if you don't have green there
This closet looks so cool! Thank you!
Dang how can I get stores to donate amazing pieces to my life?!?
Taylor yup, donating is a totally misplaced term..it is product placement
Taylor ass kisser
@@suides4810
Oh.. i see.. so its a sponsored makeover
This makeover is amazing!
It would be cool to organize the clothes by color within the types. Like shirts color ordered, skirts color ordered etc.
I like the usage of vintage items to store. I'd just switch her purple makeup mirrow with the Ikea one with wood around it. But WOW that big mirrow 👌 and loooove the light pink touches
My favorite part: "she has a lot of sunglasses." Haha, she has 10, I lost track after 50. But, as I have searched for sunglasses storage this is one of the best I've seen.
I love pretty much all your videos! So talented!
Beautiful!!!!
Soooo beautiful!!! I love it 😍😍
I would be thrilled with the before closet. I need an extra bedroom lol.
Nice job. I would have applied wallpaper to the back of the billy bookcases. Also you can get beautiful mirrors at Antropologie.
Love it! Thanks for inspiration. 😍
Really enjoyed this makeover and tips with organization! I'm sooo jealous of her clothes and vintage finds, and this beautiful new space! I don't know if this could be a dedicated video or what.. but my spouse and I are planning to move downtown soon, likely in either a studio or 1 bedroom. We really struggle with storage for all of our clothes, especially if there's just one closet and one dresser in a room. It would be super beneficial if you did a video on like clothes storage tips when you aren't living on your own.
