I just realized I never addressed the tent on the balcony in this video! We set it up for my brother, who's allergic to cats. We ended up keeping it up for a few days to hang out there lol
I’m glad you went with the creamy yellow & not the blue. Definitely the black pendant light looks better. I do like the other one, but somewhere else. Good job 👍🏼
my partner and I are moving into our first apartment together. I can say without the shadow of a doubt that you have greatly influenced my current taste for design and interiors ! thank you for sharing your insight & life with us through your videos
It was a hard choice for me, as you can gather from all the swatches, lol. I think blue would've looked cool, but I think warm colors with cool accents are what I'm more drawn to
Matchstick was a good choice. Blue can be drab, and hues of yellow have better effects on the mind than blues. The black pendant lamp contrasts well with the off-white-yellow, although the other lamp would be cool in a blue room. What you mentioned about furniture and accents bringing color in, rather than paint, was inspirational! I'm not a fan of monochromatic walls, trim and molding. White trim would be elegant and timeless with that Matchstick. If you're not feeling the brick, you could paint it Matchstick, and maybe return the trim to white? Do your thing though; it's a beautiful space either way. I'm a big fan and have been here since the plant-centric days, basically going on a similar journey from houseplants, to design and gardening. Thanks for posting, I'm always waiting for new Benji to drop 🫡
LOVE the paint colour! I wasn’t sure about the original options and this one brings such a nice warmth to the room without being too much or looking too stark against the white. I’d definitely put an artwork on the wall opposite the window because that light reminds me of gallery lighting 😊
Oh yes. That was the perfect color! It makes the room look bigger and light and airy. I adore it. The black pendant light will look amazing in front of the red bricks. (Although I would never paint beautiful red bricks.. I could never lose trust in you Benji. Your instincts are spot on.) Beautiful job.
I love the color! Perfect neutral with warmth…Winnie is such a cutie-love how you work around them playing😍 you are such a calming inspiration-I love your vlogs-so relaxing. Also, Happy Birthday🎂to your Mom-(my Dad will be 96 this week!!)-your family is beautiful!🥰🌿🤍
Loved your interactions with your Dad and your pets. You are such a gentle soul. The wall color is perfect with your new quilt. Great job, lovely video.
Love the home updates! So glad you went with that wall color! Looks very nice! I like the orange lamp better than the black one because the light wire blends in the background and doesn’t distract. While the orange lamp shade goes very well with the brick wall. The black light’s string pops out and make it look leggy. I think the curtains will look so good!
I think it’s totally fine to have a thin bed spread! That’s how I prefer mine so I can layer depending on the time of year. During the winter, I just put a goose feather- down comforter on first, then the bed spread and finish it off with a throw blanket along the foot of the bed. And during the summer I just remove the down comforter! ❤ Love the paint color choice! It’s very versatile and light enough to keep the room looking spacious!
A wooden headboard with the same wood tone as the nighstand with a simple rectangular shape would look perfect. Also, I love the little hand broom you use, it's so cute! You picked the perfect wall color.
Hi Benji, if you can't find a place to hang your beautiful tapestry, you could also put it at the end of the bed as a second layer of bed cover. I love its warm tones mixed with the fish print! the bedroom is looking great, thanks for sharing :)
To get even more contemporary look in the bedroom - get rid of the little cornice on the brick wall! Love the windows in your house.❤ The black pendant is perfect!
For the bedroom pendant light, I think that the HAY arcs mirror lamp shade could look very good in that corner because it reflects the light beautifully and thus would add some additional texture through the "chrome" optics.
I much prefer your color choice over all the others. It really gives a Zen feel to the room. I prefer the black pendant light against the brick. I think he would be unhappy with that wall hanging anyway… It’s a bit off coupled with the fish coverlet. I adore Winnie! Her curiosity and playfulness is so fun to watch! You are so good with both Winnie and Theo. I would never in 1 million years have considered a Chihuahua or small dog until Theo… Who could not love him?!❤❤
Love the updates! If you wanted to change the brick, you could use a sheet of plywood or something similar and paint it the same colour as your new walls and just have it rest on the floor
Your home is so cosy I feel warmer even looking at it on TH-cam. A tall headboard with a shelf, painted same color as the walls 👍🏻 will make the items on the shelf stand out
i love the shade you picked for the bedroom! i painted mine a very very similar color called White Mocha by Behr over a year ago and love seeing how the shade differs in winter vs. summer or with different lighting pieces. i have a lot of similar furniture and style elements as you along with plants and have found it to be very versatile with different or unique decor pieces.
I’ve been watching your videos for so long and now I’m finally moving into my own house so I’m SOOOO excited to finally use your videos for inspo to make my house into a home :’)
I painted my bedroom the same color ◡̈ and used a similar blue as your wall sample for my bathroom, just felt too fresh for a bedroom space but perfect for a serene well lit bathroom.
Ah... bedmaking time. The mostest favoritest time for cats. I always called it cat skiing. I would throw the sheet (or whichever) across as flat as I could over as much of the bed as I could manage. She would then lunge and skid and slide back and forth. I'd twitch a spot and she'd fly and skid to catch it. I sure miss her. She was the bestest little brat of a cat.
I think the bookcase headboard would be really fun. The book covers of the books behind the bed would in itself be wall art. The switchplate cover under the small art frame I might switch out but that just might be me being nit picking. I love the almost Theo colored walls it gives such a nice backdrop tone to the pottery and plants. Excellent work! Small changes but a dramatic effect. It's been fun seeing Winnie go from childhood to kitten teen lol.
I like the black pendant light because it stands out against the brick, but I like the other light for its style. Would you consider spray painting that lamp black to better suit the room? I think that would look really nice! The style is more interesting. Also the paint you ended up picking in the end looks really good and suits the room perfectly!
I like your fish quilt! I didn't like the room paint as a sample but painted I really like! I never considered the white ceiling but it works! I like the bricks in your room, I thought of buying those faux brick panels from Home Depot & making my bedroom wall my bed heads up an accent wall.
Sophisticated choices, Benji. The room looks soft and livable, not "little boy". My vote is a yes to the black lamp for some grounding contrast, and definitely lose the orange/rust pillow.
That color you went with in the bedroom is really nice. Not overpowering. I like the black pendant light the best. Thanks for the video. Have a fun Halloween. 🦇💀🎃
My cats have always made their way onto the beds when I am putting on fresh linens! They love it. Also the lamp with the pink reflection is perfection. And could I borrow your dad? I have quite a lot of lighting projects I need help with.
Love the paint color choice! It's such a nice subtle buttery color. I love the black pendant against the brick. Not related to the bedroom but I need to order some wood shades and was wondering where you got the ones for your dining room?
Hey Benji, After u put ur plants back in ur room, the wall color will chg, looking a greenish color. All in all great job! I want to paint 1 bedroom wall as in my dining & kichen. Thought bout Wallpaper but then id have to stay with colors in the room, my problem is, i chg my colors for every Season😅 🌳🌻 Spring ☀️🇺🇲 Summer 🎃🍂Fall 🌲❤ Winter Calif girl, Rosie
Be careful with making your pendant light "too low": Winnie might see it as something fun to play with. For "wall art", have you thought about using cat shelving/obstacle? There's some that can be quite decorative too.
I just realized I never addressed the tent on the balcony in this video! We set it up for my brother, who's allergic to cats. We ended up keeping it up for a few days to hang out there lol
Your brother stayed in the tent the whole time?
Cool date night
❤
just at night, that way he's not getting unnecessary exposure to the cat. Plus she loves to lay on peoples faces when they're sleeping lol
⛺️⛺️⛺️
I love seeing your Dad and you as he teaches you how to do stuff. Memories you’ll always cherish.
I feel like a wooden headboard with the same finish as that side table would also look cool on that yellow wall
@elwoodstanislav9068 No, I don't think he mentioned where he got it from.
The cat playing in the bed made my day!
The fact that Benji allowed them to continue playing instead of removing them from the bed for the sake of the video tells how loved they are!
perfect comedic timing to run back under the blanket.
i love that u let ur pets play instead of forcing them aside while to film ☺️
Your videos truly calm my anxiety. Thank you for being here.
I’m glad you went with the creamy yellow & not the blue. Definitely the black pendant light looks better. I do like the other one, but somewhere else. Good job 👍🏼
Watching you deal w the cat made me laugh so hard because it’s so relatable.. having a cat is like having a cute crackhead in your house
my partner and I are moving into our first apartment together. I can say without the shadow of a doubt that you have greatly influenced my current taste for design and interiors ! thank you for sharing your insight & life with us through your videos
So sweet to see this dad and son interaction. What a great memory this will make in the future. ❤
The black pendant is lovely! It contrasts so nicely with the brick
I'm happy you went yellow, especially because so many were wanting blue. It looks so warm and cozy!
It was a hard choice for me, as you can gather from all the swatches, lol. I think blue would've looked cool, but I think warm colors with cool accents are what I'm more drawn to
A woody headboard will look cozy on that room
Matchstick was a good choice. Blue can be drab, and hues of yellow have better effects on the mind than blues. The black pendant lamp contrasts well with the off-white-yellow, although the other lamp would be cool in a blue room.

The color is great...subtle and peaceful!!!
Love the orange pendant light and I think it matches the vibe of the room better than the black one. Such funny pets! 🐶🐱🧡🧡🧡
LOVE the paint colour! I wasn’t sure about the original options and this one brings such a nice warmth to the room without being too much or looking too stark against the white. I’d definitely put an artwork on the wall opposite the window because that light reminds me of gallery lighting 😊
Looks much calmer! I wonder if you did a light woody brown colour for the ceiling and beams it could be reminiscent of a traditional Japanese home
Oh yes. That was the perfect color! It makes the room look bigger and light and airy. I adore it. The black pendant light will look amazing in front of the red bricks. (Although I would never paint beautiful red bricks.. I could never lose trust in you Benji. Your instincts are spot on.) Beautiful job.

Winnie was destined to be a star 😻😸
I love your dad ❤❤
Although I would have chosen the blue in a heartbeat, yellow seems much more your style. ✨
love the color! also i think i would pick the orange lamp, i like how it harmonizes well with the wall while also adding a sort of contrast
Loved your interactions with your Dad and your pets. You are such a gentle soul. The wall color is perfect with your new quilt. Great job, lovely video.
the colour you chose for the wall is perfect, not a heavy colour which is perfect for a bedroom space where you sleep!! so warm and cozyy
Love the home updates! So glad you went with that wall color! Looks very nice! I like the orange lamp better than the black one because the light wire blends in the background and doesn’t distract. While the orange lamp shade goes very well with the brick wall. The black light’s string pops out and make it look leggy. I think the curtains will look so good!
Obsessed with your home & cozy atmosphere! 🥰

That neutral yellow is beautiful!
A wooden headboard with the same wood tone as the nighstand with a simple rectangular shape would look perfect. Also, I love the little hand broom you use, it's so cute! You picked the perfect wall color.
Such a beautiful colour…..I love it! Love the idea of a headboard too.
Love that you included audio from the podcasts you listen to! Loved finding out you also listen to sibling rivalry
The way I listen to all those podcasts too 😅 love the paint color for the room
Hi Benji, if you can't find a place to hang your beautiful tapestry, you could also put it at the end of the bed as a second layer of bed cover. I love its warm tones mixed with the fish print! the bedroom is looking great, thanks for sharing :)
To get even more contemporary look in the bedroom - get rid of the little cornice on the brick wall! Love the windows in your house.❤ The black pendant is perfect!
Love your videos - your home has such warm and earthy energy, it's really inspiring for how I think about setting up and decorating my own space!
For the bedroom pendant light, I think that the HAY arcs mirror lamp shade could look very good in that corner because it reflects the light beautifully and thus would add some additional texture through the "chrome" optics.
Love your bedhead idea! The colour you picked looks fantastic!
waking up to a new benji video was the best way i could have started my morning
Also the black pendant is totally the way to go!
I much prefer your color choice over all the others. It really gives a Zen feel to the room. I prefer the black pendant light against the brick.

You are so good with both Winnie and Theo. I would never in 1 million years have considered a Chihuahua or small dog until Theo… Who could not love him?!❤❤
Framed dried plants would look nice on the wall
Love the updates! If you wanted to change the brick, you could use a sheet of plywood or something similar and paint it the same colour as your new walls and just have it rest on the floor
It’s cool how those lights are adjustable.
I would love the wall rug over the bed!
I LOVE your couple’s Halloween costume, I can’t wait to see it!
Your home is so cosy I feel warmer even looking at it on TH-cam. A tall headboard with a shelf, painted same color as the walls 👍🏻 will make the items on the shelf stand out

I like the second lamp. The color choice is nice!
I’ve been watching your videos for so long and now I’m finally moving into my own house so I’m SOOOO excited to finally use your videos for inspo to make my house into a home :’)

STORY MFG really suits you :)
Here cones my fav❤so aesthetically pleasing ❤
The paint coloUr is lovely. Glad to see you've used British paint made in Dorset, England 😂
I like the colour you went with in the bedroom, 😍
Love the colour you picked!
I like the peach light and wished you went with the blue wall paint
I wish you would somehow use that gorgeous tapestry as the headboard 😊
I thought the same thing and wondered if it would work.
loveeeeeee when benji posts a new video.
I actually like the orange pendant one a lot more! Great video as always =)
I like your fish quilt! I didn't like the room paint as a sample but painted I really like! I never considered the white ceiling but it works! I like the bricks in your room, I thought of buying those faux brick panels from Home Depot & making my bedroom wall my bed heads up an accent wall.
Winnie is the best!! Ohhh I laughed so hard at 4:00 !!
Love it! I painted half my living room in a similar color (Ginseng from Jotun) and I love it. Want to do the whole room, but it's so much work haha
Paige used a sconce light like yours over artwork and it looks really nice.
The cat stole my heart
So bummed to be out of town this weekend 😮💨 have a great time!!
Sophisticated choices, Benji. The room looks soft and livable, not "little boy". My vote is a yes to the black lamp for some grounding contrast, and definitely lose the orange/rust pillow.
That color you went with in the bedroom is really nice. Not overpowering. I like the black pendant light the best. Thanks for the video. Have a fun Halloween. 🦇💀🎃
I wonder how it would look to paint the trim above the briks in a dark tone. Dark blue maybe. Or dark beige.😏
I’m glad you went with the more yellow tone, it’ll feel so nice and warm in there. And you’re welcome for the pendant light idea 😂😂😂
Nice color Thanks!
I LOVE YOUR FAMILY!!
My cats have always made their way onto the beds when I am putting on fresh linens! They love it. Also the lamp with the pink reflection is perfection. And could I borrow your dad? I have quite a lot of lighting projects I need help with.
I think the room color you selected will work well with your curtains;)

the INSTANT I saw the collared shirt I knew you were Mr.Zweig. simple but iconic
Hey Benji,
After u put ur plants back in ur room, the wall color will chg, looking a greenish color. All in all great job!

🌳🌻 Spring

🌲❤ Winter
Calif girl,
Rosie
You should turn the tapestry into your headboard!
your dad is so nice!!!
Video!! So excited second apparently 😅🎉
I like the orange light it goes with the pillow on the bed. The black is too small it gets lost in the brick.
I got your costume right away!
Love love love the color! We are looking for an alternative for white. Do you know the RAL number of the color?😍😍
I looked it up and I found a website saying it's RAL 1015!
@@benjiplant thank you so much!
OMG i can't wait to see your halloween costumes AAAA
The tapestry could be the headboard!!
Winnie is so cute ❤😆
Be careful with making your pendant light "too low": Winnie might see it as something fun to play with. For "wall art", have you thought about using cat shelving/obstacle? There's some that can be quite decorative too.
