- Today I wanted to give you a full tour of my apartment in Edinburgh! The last time I gave a tour of my home was over two years ago, in the first week that I moved in. Since then it has changed a lot, so today I want to share the changes I've made, and share what I love about living here.

I discovered your channel last night. And, wow, it's beautiful. Your tone of voice, your elegance and simplicity, your style and way of seeing life. I believe there should be more channels like yours, away from the chaos we live in, especially in my country (Mexico). Your voice and aesthetics will undoubtedly be a great company in my life from now on. Thank you very much, Nicolas. I will soon make those cucumber sandwiches for tea. ❤ 🙏🏼
Me also found him yesterday.... npw binge watching
Me too ❤
Wow - thank you so much for this very kind comment - I really appreciate it! X
Agreed! I love that it's really quiet and calm.
I told him the same thing! I stated to him I could listen to him read a phone book!! ( hopefully one still knows what these are)
Your flat is so elegant but cozy also. It shows your talent for decorating which we all already knew you had.
Thank you so much for showing us your's and Sofie's home.
Love to you both.
it was my pleasure! Thank you so much x
Nicolas, have you ever thought about turning the back hallway into an art gallery? You could just get a camera and shoot portions of classical buildings etc. in Edinburgh (perhaps in sepia?) and have them printed out. If it turned out to be really good you might even ofer a few for sale. Just a thought.
Every time you change your home it looks fresh and interesting!👍 You truly know how to design. Thanks for sharing your ideas with us!
Why redo/paint this flat if you are moving to Italy?
@@marysiren7083 , he was not sure yet but he is the kind of person always looking for activity.
He's thinking about moving but hasn't decided and if so when?
That is such a kind thing to say - I'm really glad you think so!
@@marysiren7083 why be so critical?
Dear Nicholas, so many of us love you and your content- thank you so much for another episode that takes us out of our every day lives. Love and best wishes to you❤
That is so kind! A million thanks x x
Hi Nicholas. Sophie's haircut is adorable! Pops of black and wood always looks great in rooms. The maps look good as you have them. You've done a great job on your home and should be proud of it and yourself.
Hey! Thank you so much, I think she just looks SO cute! I appreciate your kind words x x
You have so much style not only in your home but also in the way you present yourself. I predict you will have great success with your label.
Nicolas - I find myself looking around my own (humble) home after I watch your vidoes for better ways to decorate. Thank you.
I’m only halfway through the video but wanted to say before I forget… You’ve done many beautiful things to this place but by far, your greatest was finding a way to cover the red wall tiles! Bravo! 😅👍🕺🎉
Sounds like you may have a touch of allergies or a seasonal cold. Take care of yourself Nikolas, we are all grateful for your channel! Your apartment is charming, just like its occupant s
Easy on the eyes they are! 🦩🏳️🌈🌻🇺🇦🟦
So many mamas❤️
Thanks for your kind wishes x
I thought so too.
Thank you for the tour. As a regular viewer was nice to see areas we haven't seen. Homes are always a work in progress. You have made elegant choices sure you will keep making it a more beautiful home for you and Sophie of course. ❤❤❤❤
It's a pleasure! Thank you!
I love your place! It's a little house more than it is an apartment, in my opinion. I think your idea of mossy green high-gloss paint in your dining room would be spectacular. And you've transitioned into your new style beautifully. It's a great lesson in how to make changes without spending the Earth by letting go of pieces that will no longer work and adding new ones a little at a time.
I also see it as a little house too! Thank you so much!
Wonderful broadcast! Just a word of advice regarding the TV in the bedroom....find yourself a flatscreen and have a custom frame built around it. You can then have a memory stick with your favorite works of art loaded onto and it will turn your television into any painting you like 😊 You have the convenience of having a television in the bedroom, but without the horrific aesthetic of a big black box mounted on your wall.
Great idea! Thank you!
Wallpaper for the hall. Stephanie on Chateau Diaries did one of her bathrooms in a floral bluebell Pattern and a downstairs in another floral. Beautiful.
Sounds great!
So lovely to discover other people who watch Chateau Diaries, Stephanie is just lovely!
Love that you always have fresh plants/flowers.😘😘😘
I think your flat is gorgeous Nicolas. You have turned it into a warm and inviting home. Simple elegance at its’ best! Thanks for the tour🙏❤️
Thank you so much !
A gallery wall in your hallway would be lovely and personal. Also I love a reading nook. The little built in stand or table behind you could have a very tall dramatic silk flower arrangement - tall and thin. I love your apartment!
Thanks for the suggestions!
Yes, that painting from your living room will look great over your bed and it will give you the chance to go looking for another painting in keeping with the new look in the living room 😉
I’ve never liked the idea of laundry in the kitchen but I was surprised when you, UK born and bred said that. 😄
Haha! Thank you!
Turn the hallway to the bedroom into a library space
I love the earthy colors and botanical feel in your apartment. I once read an article from an interior designer who said, every room should have something black in it. I agree! You definitely need something above the bed. If you change the frame, your painting will really stand out. Your outdoor space is beautiful and very romantic. Thank you for inviting us into your home. 💕
I definitely agree about the addition of black in a room! Thanks for your kind compliments x
Nicolas, I absolutely love your Flat. You have done an exquisite job of decorating it. I really like the way you have redone your living room. The colors, pictures, arrangement of furniture, etc. is done in good taste. Looking forward to your next video. Have a good week as well Nicolas😊
Thank you so much - I'm so happy you like my home x
I love the round table in the window of your bedroom. I think it can change with the seasons. Very nice.
I'm glad you like it!
The new front door colour sits beautifully alongside the stone walls. The apartment was such a find, with the courtyard garden. Love the bedroom colour scheme.
Thanks for the tour Nicolas. Everything looks so fresh and clean. Love the colors in your bedroom. You have really brightened it up.
My pleasure! Glad you enjoyed it!
Absolutely LOVED your kind sharing of your beautiful Edinburgh home. Thank you so much!
Enjoy your channel. I think a slim console table over the hall radiator with a large mirror would make it look like a foyer, a place to drop your keys, sunglasses, etc. For a pop of color a bright runner down the hallway
I can’t believe it’s been two years you’ve been in this flat Nicolas. Time flies!!
It really does! Too fast!
Thank you for allowing us to see your lovely, inviting home Nicolas. Blessings be upon all whom enter . Many years of loving memories be made within
Love your style & way of presenting it! Your voice is somewhat hypnotic. So nice to listen to & relax into the video subject matter! Keep sending your inner serenity out to the world♥️♥️♥️
Well done, it’s looking really lovely! Keep well ,and enjoy the patio xx
😊
Thank you!
If I'm not mistaken, you've pared down your pieces of furniture. Your décor style seems to be evolving over time, just as you are; time seems to have added a dimension to your elegance and taste. Love every single item! Thanks for sharing your beautiful home with all of us.
Yes! Have pared-down and eliminated a lot of stuff! Thank you so much x
Love your beautiful home and your super adorable furry friend, Sophie. Your videos are pure joy to watch. They calm my senses. You have such great taste. Take care and keep making beautiful videos
Your home is very beautiful Nicolas! Thank you so much for giving us this tour! I hope you feel better soon, you sound a little under the weather. 🥺💖🌷 Sending you lots of love and hugs! xx
Thank you so much for you wishes - it means a lot x
The hallway - a nice rug, rich wallpaper, artwork on the walls, an elegant crystal light fixture.
Thank you Nicolas for showing us your beautiful home !
It's lovely, cozy and warm. Thank you for showing it to us!
Everything about your apartment is absolutely beautiful.
Just wonderful, Nicolas. You have made a lovely home for yourself and your guests. Well done. Linda from Canada
omg im so early! I just want to say that I am grateful for men like you
Thank you for the lovely tour and taking us to never before seen places! I can’t wait to see your updated hallway. Very inspiring home and your whole video just felt so relaxing! 🤗 ❤
Thank you so much - I'm really pleased you enjoyed this video!
I’ve followed you for a long time and seen your changes made in your homes.
I love everything you do with such elegance and style. I do enjoy having a dining room also Nicolas. Sitting down to dinner with family or friends is still important to many people in this day and age.
Thank you for the walk through of your home.
Sophie is looking great. Please take care of yourself. Always nice spending time with you. ✨
Thanks so much for your continued support - it really means so much x x
I LOVE how your style has morphed since I began watching your channel! The changes are lovely Nicholas. Your landlord would be so kind to allow you to change out the living room sconces and the ultra modern ceiling fixture at some point in the near future. The dining room feels elegant to me and very welcoming.
I love this tour thanks Nicolas and Sophie really enjoyed all the beautiful rooms here❤
You are certainly not alone when it comes to budget. It has taken me years, I DO mean YEARS, to make my townhome feel like ‘me’, like home. Be patient with yourself. If you were able to run out and make instant changes that seem to appeal, a short while later you may not care for those things. I’m almost glad about budgetary restrictions I have faced because of forced me to think my decisions through. It also taught me to be patient.
Hi Nik !!
Love everything you do and all changes to your living spaces. Love the tiny details in design, round table with lovely skirted cloth and chair accent. You as a person is so charming and lovable!!! Your life style so inspiring ♥️🙌
I know change is good, but I love color and pattern. So I really miss that gorgeous large round table with books and a lovely large lamp, in the living room. Just changing the table skirt to jute would have fit in here so well. I think the dining room would look lovely with a pop of green. Even just an accent wall behind the buffet, would have such an impact. I love the little settee in the dining room. A touch of elegance. In the hallway I think if you painted that tiny corner cabinet and put a weathered terra cotta or stone pot with a faux cypress topiary on it, would have a nice feel. Oh my.... I was so happy when you got to the bedroom and the round table was there!!!!!!! Its so classy. I hope you never get rid of it. Yes to the painting over the bed! The room is calming and peaceful, just needs that pop. The stone walled courtyard garden is incredible, with the potted trees and patio. What an amazing space to relax and entertain. This is a perfect little house for you and Sophie.
Loving the skirted table...blends into the green room so elegantly!
Absolutely ❤ your flat Nicolas. The courtyard is a stunning addition. Having been to Edinburgh I can say that you live in a stunningly beautiful part of the world.
I am very lucky to be here! Thank you!
I love your apartment, and Sophie, and all of your content. Thank you for sharing this and also for all that you do❤❤❤
Not to raise your alarms or criticize but you've been getting sick quite often... I don't believe in diagnosing strangers on the internet, but just a reminder to take care of your health 💕
Then dont. Geeeeez.
@@shelbythe2ds526 Be nice, she was just concerned.
It is nice of you to care.
Sorry I holes don’t like the frame above the fireplace. A plain gold much better.
The colour of your bedroom can have the sam as the hall but be careful you don’t make it look to small
Living room looks good. To my eye, the painting over the fireplace, needs to go up a few inches...not too high, but so it is not resting on the mantle. Of course, if it is going over the bed, then is can stay where it is for now. You most certainly need something over the bed, so consider a new frame on your painting. I'd like to see some comfortable type of chair is your courtyard. If you want to sit outside and read, your current chairs look very spartan.
Dear Nicholas.
Thank you for sharing your beautiful place with us!
Sofie is so adorable!
Everything is so classy and elegant , love the new color in the leaving room.
❤🇨🇦
Thank you! Too kind!
I remember coming across your channel you'd just put your 3rd video up which I then went to look back at others and saw there was only 2 others.... and here we are today heading towards 200k subscribers.... lovely xx❤
I can see your style changing since I first started watching! I like the direction you're going. Your flat is lovely.
I love your apartment! The round table in the bedroom looks lovely! I’m really liking how you paired back on the accessories. It looks much better now. The colour on the walls in the living room, looks great! I’m impressed with all of your offerings on your website! You are a true entrepreneur! Good for you! 😊
A radiator cover gives you a shelf to put a plant on & then a nice mirror above that to lighten the back hall.
Please get a TV in your bedroom. You have the perfect spot for it in this apartment. You could use the hallway as a library for all your design books.
Thank you for sharing your personal space. I am enjoying your new modern influences in your design concepts. Watching a movie with you in a cozy space would be amazing. I truly enjoy listening to your voice before bedtime and your overall presentation makes me smile. Thanks again. - Vartan
I love how you choose your artwork by what has meaning to your life. I've found that when I just choose what I love, it always fits in with my decor. Your home is beautiful! (I also LOVE your bronze, or brass, turtle!)
That is definitely the way to do it! Thank you!
Hi Nicholas, Your home is gorgeous and very livable. The sconces on either side of the fireplace, and the black band on your living room rug, perfectly ground the room and allows ones eye to move around the space taking in every detail. Even the book jackets repeat a little touch of black and grays. It's all so lovely, well done Nicholas!
I enjoyed watching your video Nicolas Fairford! Your apartment is amazing and so zen and calming! I love it! Thank you for sharing what you have done with your place. looking forward to more videos of how your place and you as a person evolve as you mentioned. Have a bless day!
I have always loved the framed painting over your fireplace. Well done!
Your home is very warm. Warmth is so important. I also love art, everywhere I go on my travels I try and collect one piece of art and frame it when I get home. Keep changing your art, it never gets old. You did a good job on your home. Be proud.
Very kind - Thank you!
Such a well mannered boy☺️, a true english gentleman❤️
Love your simple but beautiful taste! Your inspiration leads me to try new ideas in my home! I will always watch you!
Just beautiful! God bless you Nicolas
I really like the antique prints of the maps. And you’re right, they flow being side by side.
I loved your old English cottage style.
When I had a large formal dining room I always kept the table set with good china, glassware, etc. It made the downstairs look more inviting.
Simply the best and unbelievably inspiring thing that you could ever see
Hi Nic... perfect choice with a dark rich jewel box effect for the hall way and then lots of rich prints... Living area is beautiful now that you painted over the dark color. Skirted table is gorgeous in your bedroom... very good choice and very elegant. I do like both night stands accompanying your bed. Think of repainting them and save your money if the quality of wood is good. New hardware for draw pulls might be nice. Your place is beautiful for sure... a real lovely space. You're lucky! Love the petals in your garden, how special. Thank you as always. Much continued good cheer to you.
Thanks for your very kind words!
The video we were waiting for ❤💙✨🥲 love it 😍
I totally agree with your choice of direction for the black/white map art on the wall.
Nicholas, all your rooms are exquisite. You have excellent taste. Your home looks very posh. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks for the tour Nicolas. Makes me want to do something new here in my house in the Southern U.S. Most of our homes have a dedicated room for our laundry equipment. I agree with you that the kitchen is not the place to be doing laundry. Keep on doing what you're doing man. We enjoy it.
Thank you , Nicolas for the tour of your beautiful apartment , I love.🥰
Thank you Nicolas for showing us your house. It's true , your style has changed. More simple now, fewer objects around, but I like it. It looks very calm and relaxing . It's very very nice. I wish you well on your further improvements.
I agree you don’t need a TV if you have an iPad - TV is overrated. As an Amer😮can I am afraid we take laundry rooms or basement laundries for granted.
I don’t like tv in bedroom, I use my iPad as well
It’s been a while since I’ve seen your videos. Lovely home. It’s nice to see you again. I hope that you are well and in good spirits.
Nicholas, Your apartment is so BEAUTIFUL.....The colors in your apartment are so calming....I also love your bedroom along with that beautiful bed frame.
I find the black border on the sisal rug really defines the living room space from the dining area. Your home is lovely. Such well thought out choices.❤
Absolutely beautiful. Whenever I feel a bit down, watching you picks me right up and inspires me to upgrade my living space. Your style and personality are just wonderful. - xx, Carla in the US
Ahh - I'm so happy to hear that! Thanks so much x
I am in the USA and in more recent builds there is a dedicated room for the washer and dryer and might include a sink and places to hang wet things to dry and can be closed off from the rest of the house. Your home is just beautiful……as always!! Take good care! Blessings!!!
isn't just what you do but what you don't do. Not just what you did but how you did it. Not just what you said but how you said it. Love is so simple yet the simple make it so hard. Love Is full of knowledge yet even the smart don't get it. Love doesn't cost a fortune yet fortunes are spent trying to gain it. Love does demand of you yet you are not willing to sacrifice for it. Those who only seek what love can give and do for them, do nothing for love and others and in such selfish pursuit, in turn rob themselves of love's best gift. Make this year the year you seek to sow love and not just reap it. Be love and not just think it. Do love and not just say it. Talk love and just don't fake it. Seek love and just don't chase it. Embrace it but don't enslave it, share it but don't dare boast in it. Enjoy it but don't abuse it. Free it and watch it come back. Invest in it and watch it pay back. Wash your life in it, light your darkness with it, eat your food with it conduct your business with it and above all else Serve God in it. For whatever love is and is not, it's all of, for and From Him. He is LOVE! "

Because they don’t put basements in very often. Strange….
Hi Nicholas! What a beautiful home! Love the mix of classic and modern you are doing mixed with all of the earthy tones! A suggestion for the hallway! To the right of your main door where the telephone is on the wall. you can do a thin console table with a tall mirror above to make the hallway appear larger! Also, a long classic/ Parisian runner will cozy up the space! Hope this inspires you! Can’t wait to see how you make it your own ☺️!
I miss the botanical lamps and side chairs and secretary. They are ME! lol But I love your new style for you!
Hi Nicholas,
Thanks for sharing your home! I cannot get over the enormity of your flat. I live in the US, and while I have traveled to Europe and the UK, it is amazing how spacious it is compared to apartments in America. What an amazing space!
I’d love to see more on your walls to warm it up along with some more plants since you do have a lot of natural light.
You and Sophie lead an idyllic life and I’m happy to have found your channel.
Cheers to the next project!
Connie
Thanks for your thoughts - more artwork is in my future for sure!
Your Teatime vids popped up in my feed now! your elegance and calm voice help me calming my mind and I’m going to follow you right now. I am impressed and thankful to find you. All the best from Austria
Thanks for the tour of your beautiful home. Classy ! 🪴🤍
The kitchen is done!! The kitchen is done!!!! 💖
Also love the living room wall colour as well! I liked the "Mouses Back" but current colour is lighter, brighter and Very Elegant!! Thank you for your channel and looking forward to following you to your next chapter wherever that might lead you.
Discovered your channel a few days ago, and I'm so happy!! Good luck with everything and thank you for the relaxing and wholesome content :)
Very lovely. Change is always nice.
Beautiful apartment Nicolas!! Very nice indeed!! Thank you for sharing!!
I appreciate the mix of classical and modern elements in the bedroom. A piece of modern art would be beautiful above the bed and echo the modern style of the lamps. Love your style.
I think you're right - a piece of modern art would look fantastic
I agree, that was very well expressed.
Art from at least after the Impressionist era, not necessarily modern or post modern. Simplified lines and planes. Wait until you find something you love. No rush. In the meantime, you can put a lovely little painting over the bed. Caution: I can be wrong, haha.
I admire how you take your time to create the style that you desire in each room.
I wish I had that kind of discipline. Your home always looks so inviting.
Looking forward to seeing how things progress.
Thanks so much - I guess it takes time and patience! x
Thank you Nicolas for your beautiful video. Your home is wonderful, I like your idea to move the picture above the fireplace into the bedroom. Should you want to change the frame you could provide the old frame with a mirror, that would also look very good over the fireplace.
Good idea - Thank you!
Such a great tour! Thank you!
Well done looking really lovely! Thanks for the tour, keep well!Xx
Proud of you Nic, and of me for being a bit of a regular !
I really love the new look of your apartment- especially the new paint color - like you I have found my style has change & started making some changes & incorporating new items to my home - your home looks calming & bright as you are - I love the look of your apartment- change is good - you did a good job
