The moment where she talks about scents and her boyfriend asks “are you okay?”. Small moments of humor like that, with Dami. Although they’re subtle, when they show up they land as the most hilarious thing to me.
incredible stuff
Whoa thanks Ali!! I’m a big fan 😊
I always got curious in ur work home setup as an architect. Finally I can see your home office room tour
Hope it was interesting 😄
Yessss. Feel the same
@@DamiLeeArch its clean and soothing to the eye especially your colour pallete😊 I pick up new idea in creating mood board. Thanks for this video.
Great topic! Enjoyed this. The cove effect achieved by illuminating the Mosslanda shelves totally transforms the space with the illusion of height and natural daylight. You both balanced the space exceptionally well!

Preparing a home office can be a very fascinating process, taking into account that it's the space in which the professional life of each person will take place. There are elements that can be very inspiring to work with, such as the color palette, the lighting, and some valuable resources such as scented candles. For me, the importance of furniture is the most relevant. I have a Protractor desk that I bought at Barcelona Designs, and from the first moment I saw it I knew it was the kind of desk I wanted to sit at on a daily basis. A very nice process.
I love make overs that are approachable, it’s almost unreal to see million dollar listings makeovers that most people can’t relate.
Loved when you talked about integrating smell in our designs, never thought of that. Great video!
Love the aesthetic, personal, and practical applications of everything in the space! This is cool to see
I just love how elegant and realistic your setup is. I feel nowadays setups are getting more into a showoff contest than what actually works for whoever is making it. also hearing the word "saving" for a better chair is warming my heart :) strangely enough :))
I've been using the same gaming chair for almost 7 years now, all the fake plastic has fallen off yet I still use it because it works lmao now THAT's saving!
The video, the home office and the architect's speech. Everything was very inspiring.
I enjoyed this video. I have a work office that I’ve arranged and rearranged to fit my need for privacy in a busy welcome center, yet be available to staff. I also wanted my space to be comfortable as I spend a lot of time at my desk when I’m not outdoors working. Thank you for your inspiration
Highly recommend Okamura Contessa2. The biggest advantage over HM’s Aeron is its easiness to adjustments. The adjustment switches are all smartly located in both handrests. I have both models and they are equally comfortable.
The Steelcase Leap V2 comes to mind as a chair that fits a lot of people very well and looks great IMO
I really appreciate how you conceived your workspace. I need to do an overhaul of mine, it's given me some ideas on how to approach this task. I don't strictly do digital work, so I love the ideas about ways to manage things like books and art supplies.
Love, love, love your office. Can't wait to get our own home and setup a home office too, your video made me really inspired and excited! I'm an architect too... I live in a rented apartment for now with not many spaces available and not too many possibilities to change the space. P.S.: love scented candles and diffusers.
Love your desk, so functional. Thanks for the inspiration.
No plants! Get orchids!
This is just spectacular. It wraps the left brain, with all of its crisp analytical ideas and methods, around the right brain that makes us wholly _human_ . Let's face it - we're all attracted to beauty. It moves us. And when we can create a space for ourselves that is just frankly _beautiful_ as well as functional, it feels complete. It draws us into a good place.
Huge thanks for sharing this.
Cheers!
John
I love the "simpleness" (?) of everything? Also, I like your calm, I can see it in your decor and hear it in your voice.
Absolutely beautiful design! One thing I would mention when choosing the chairs is a bigger focus on ergonomics and comfort. The HM Aeron is a classic as is the Embody, but don't overlook brands like Steelcase and Humanscale. I have been using a Leap V2 now for a few years after discovering its armrest features. It's been an absolute game changer for typing, mousing and drawing with its almost infinite adjustability. They also make a model called the gesture with even more options. Like both of you I was pretty sticker shocked by the cost of these... but there are plenty of shops that do large buyouts from corporate offices and refurbish/fully sanitize the chairs and sell them for 25-50% of the cost! I highly recommend looking into this, as my Leap V2 was in like new condition and cost me $400 CAD instead of $1200+
Great thanks for the tip!
i recently started to think about making a setup for myself. thank you Dami for the inspiration! 😌
Such an elegant and personal design of work space!
Some shutters on the window can double as a chalk board if you paint the back and also save you a bit on heating in the winter. I love all your indirect and colour temperature controllable lighting.
I can't recommend the Herman Miller Cosm chairs enough! They are incredible comfortable to sit in and look really modern and sleek in my opinion.
i love the way you conceptualize thespace & solving the imperfection of existing room condition! the urge to re-arrange my working space after watching this video📈📈📈📈📈
Hahah thank you! A little refresh never hurt anyone 😉
It helped a lot with the interior of the room!
방 인테리어에 도움이 많이 되었어요!!
It's quite inspiring seeing your space ☺️ I'm an architect and really want to have my own studio 🙃
what a great video love how nice & clean the office looks
You have no idea how much the conceptual approach helped me thank you!.
Hahahaha “are you ok”. Nice one. The IKEA wall organization is an awesome idea. I’m gunna look those up.
😂😂😂 Nothing beats good ol ikea!
This is a very well design office! You have a keen attention to detail!
This motivates me to get my license this month. Its really nice to see such inspiration in the middle of my study. sure agree with scented candles. This gives me new ideas about color choosing and proper space programming. Nailing existing site features is also challenging yet you find the best option base on your regular pattern and convenience. I already subs. wish me luck for my licensure exam.
just want to share. I did pass Architecture licensure Exam last June 17&19 2022. I am officially an Architect. Thank you God.
Those are fantastic ideas! Love your channel.
MARAVILLOUS DESK AND ROOM.
the way u decorate ur own room make me feel like i have to study interior design right now!!! bcause it's such a wonderful room that i've ever seen (cause i love green and ur room has one of my favorite green too!!!)
Interior design is lots of fun 🤩
I love the drawing board, added it to my wish list.
Great video! Where is that reflexology mat from? Looks better than most online.
i really love it !!! nice workshop.
For a chair, I'm currently using the Lino Chair by herman miller and I like it. I prefer having a fabric seat (opposed to the almost obligatory Aeron chair) and it has a nice mesh back. It's also one of the cheaper herman miller options for desk chairs, but still made well.
My dream chair would be something from the eames collection though! Haha.
Thank you so much for sharing this video with us. It is truly inspiring and inspirational to push not only me, but also others to make something out of our lives and find meaningful purpose. Thank you again for sharing your journey and experience and wishing you the best.
My pleasure!! Glad I could help 😁
Scented candles (or just utilizing smells in general) are soooo underrated!
Just wow! Love, love and love❤
I think I’m going to copy your MOSSLANDA tip. I’ve been thinking lately about how to light up the ceiling of my dark basement office in a neat way, and this could work.
I like how the depth is shallower than the standard shelves so it's not too imposing in the space. There's a slimmer profile than the Mosslanda as well (I think made of metal) - it didn't suit my space but you should check out that one as well!
I love the space, Dami! I really enjoyed this video. 😁
Enjoyed the concept of your space
Wow I love it. Beautiful
Thanks so much 😊
I've always been skeptical of mood boards but your one video has changed my mind. I get it now. :) ty!
Another great video Dami. It doesn't matter how perfect I think I have my workspace, seeing someone else's always get's me rethinking it
Wow, nice job, i am kinda in the mood now to spice up my home office space as well. Thy for the inspirations
Really nice work! Thanks for sharing. Oh and thank you for sharing Shortform. I was not aware of it and am super excited about subscribing.
Definitely check out Knoll’s Generation chair. It’s incredibly comfortable, supportive and stylish. One can even customize the color scheme!
Hi, I just found your content educational and applied it to my study. By the way I'm from the Philippines taking architecture and on my third year now
Hey buddy !!! Your home office so nice to see !!!
There's something about Dami's voice and delivery and word choice and diction and word emphasis and facial expressions and hand motions and body language and attitude that totally gets me. What she talks about is pretty interesting as well, (which is key because I wouldn't watch these videos if it wasn't interesting.)
3:57 Really like that lighting idea.
Muslanda shelves from ikea
cutting them to size and
aligning the perimeter of the room to the height of the bulkhead
it's lined with led strips
This is super inspiring, thank you.
Cozy and efficient Dig it. 👍Thanks for the insight.
You can often find used steelcase leap chairs for 300-500 CAD at office furniture resellers. I have found them to be fantastic. I think the herman miller aeron can be found used for about the same price (used).
SLAY DAMI, SLAY.
Would highly recommend the Herman Miller Mirra 2 chairs. I got mine 2nd hand in Vancouver from an office liquidator store and have no regretted it since. No more back pains for me. Not going to lie, the chair was still somewhat expensive, but if you do the math, you'll probably own the chair for 10-15 years which is cheaper than buying a new chair every couple of years. I've learned that you either buy nice or you buy twice in some scenarios. Plus, I viewed the chair as a health investment on my back.
Herman Miller Embody in white would look 👌
IMO it's more comfortable than the Aeron as well (more lower back support). The adjustable bottom makes it fit more body types.
dope set up. love it!!!
I love you Dami Lee.
What a beautiful and relaxing, yet energetic space! Wow! I subscribed after seeing this video! As for a chair, i think a beautiful Herman Miller would be great for the space. I also love their design (but that's personal of course.)
Ooh there are so many elements that I really like about this and I'm working with a similar space so I needed this :D
It’s was a nice and simple guide for a office setup
Thanks 😁
Your video about the line got me here...was well put together
Love your works!
Love it, Nice!
great video!!
Not sure where to start so I will just say your an incredible talent.
I realy love what you did with the place. Yor way of explaining your choices is captivating. I will be mooving soon so i make sure i go trough similiar proces to make my new place realy "home". Nice video. :)
Niceee setup!
awesome workspace!^^😍
Everything thing is placed well. 👍
I honestly think that gamer chairs work really good for work from home, secret labs or DXR Racer chairs have been great for comfort and posture.
I feel like the Herman Miller Sayl or Mirra chairs would look fantastic in your setup!
beautiful
Hi Dami, I know I’m super late watching this video. Your space is inspiring! I’m looking to have a better flow to my own. I was wondering- where did you get that reflexology mat?
I just got a standing desk off of Facebook marketplace for 100$. Always look there for any item you want for a very reduced price. Sometimes people give things for free as well. It’s a great way to get a good at home office setup for a low cost
Dude this video was so cool and very interesting
I love this!
Fun video and to see your set-up. Wish I had an office which could accept a standing desk. Glad you are surrounded by things that bring you joy. :-)
Hi Dami! This is a very well design office.
The room is overall natural, relaxing, but the small window still bring me the a pretty unpleased feeling. Personally I prefer bigger window without fences. Anyway love the way you prepare and present in the video.
As an Architect, I also learned a lot from Interior Designers when I was working with a hotel project's fitout. I now find shopping for furniture, fabric and decor enjoyable which were mundane to me before.
AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!
Hey DamiLee loved the video so inspiring, about the video call problem you could have like a rolling curtain right in the center of the room that way when you are video calling you can just turn it down for privacy.
Very nice video as well as office space 👍🏼
Very nice rooms now. Well, you don't have to be depressed anymore.
pretty much good concept, i like that, & impotent thing is like you said - you was a little bit skeptical in the beginning ? that's true
The harder it seems at first, the easier it becomes later ..Nothing is impossible if there is effort 😊
Chair: Steelcase Think chair. I've been using one for years and recommend it. Also, it's easy to get a used one. One thing: don't get one with fixed arms, they're a hard plastic and really uncomfortable.
Herman Miller Embody Chair changed my life. Not cheap but a good value. I've had mine for 10 years
Have you decided on which office chairs you're gonna go with? I think the Steel Case Gesture Chairs would look great and provide the comfort youd need for long hours of sitting. I personally use a Herman Miller Celle that's attractive, maybe not as attractive as the Aeron or other newer chairs, but it's inexpensive and is very very comfortable.
Love you Dami ❤️ 🥰
really cool to see how an architect approach something that a lot of us all go through these days.
was very exciting to see the foot reflexology mat, do you remember what brand is the mat made from? thanks a lot
The space is beautiful. I envy this space hahahahahahahah but thanks for sharing. This mood and theme is close to my peg too so I really enjoy your space.
i would have to say that a touch of wooden cladding on one of the walls will be helpful, thank you for sharing the journey
I like the desk setup
