Excellent video! As a 40+ year (former) apt dweller, you can do a lot with furniture and wall art. I went "all out" furnishing my next-to-last apt, and then received a great job offer to move back to my home state. My apt furniture has worked well in my new house, although much in different rooms than in my apts. The apt wall art did not work in my house, but it is perfect for my work office! So, don't be afraid to buy some good pieces that you really like while you are renting. Thanks, again, for the great ideas.
I rent and always have. Grew up in apartments. Not interested in owning a home. To many hidden cost. I fully furnished my apartment and filled the walls with art. Put down rugs and have so much fun decorating my home. It’s an on going thing. Always making changes. Looking for fun things to put in my home. I love my apartment home and many of the things I have had come with me from my last few apartments it’s all good
Thanks for the tips. The strategy I chose for my rental was to elevate the space with a few statement pieces the size of which is less dictated by the room and can move around while being cheap on side dependent pieces. I got a very nice but pricey ceramic dining table from Bo Concept that seats 6 and thus fits into all but the largest or smallest of living/dining rooms. It has a lot of character and that way I could get a bland and simple but nice Ikea couch and besta sidewall to go with it. If I move I can just up/downsize the couch and sidewall to accommodate the table.
Greetings from Australia - You can get a lot of removables such as removable wall paper and paint. And removable for flooring for bedroom, lounge rooms and bathroom tiles as well. Your right you have to get permission to do this.
The only way I decorated was curating the things I owned. All my paintings were few but big, such that I leaned them against the wall, almost layering them. I did NOT drill holes or nails, no wallpapers, no paint job. Lots of big faux trees, lamps, rugs.
I want to be a lifetime renter but Australia treats renters really bady. I have enough money to buy if i wanted but i love being able to change up the suburbs i live in every couple years. Also I dont like the stress of dealing with maintenance. I wish australia gave renters more rights.
Hello, thank you for all you advices ! Watching your videos, I was always wondering where did you buy your lampe behind you ? With the two conical black spots ? I found them beautiful ! Thank you in advance !
Awesome tips. I’ve loved the idea of top down/bottom up for window coverings for many years. However, they are super expensive. Any suggestions I can use instead? Also, you mentioned removable privacy film. I’m familiar with privacy film but I wasn’t aware they were removable. 😮
Only need water to apply them, here's one from Amazon amzn.to/4da2zsv There are many out there too (with more interesting patterns) if you look around.
I challenge you to re-design my apartment with hideous wornout brown carpet that is throughout the apartment, and ugly 35 y.o. builder-grade kitchen and bathroom cabinets, and only 1 closet for the entire 650 sq ft.
I was thinking the same thing but i couldn’t understand the name of the bed he mentioned. But a good alternative which is very similar is a thuma bed. It’s very much like that one no tools required a Japanese style brand.
I think the use of "homily" was meant to suggest "homey". The former means "plain" or "unfortunate" in appearance. If you're a forthright English person, it means downright ugly, lol. The latter suggests more "home-like", cozy, & an atmosphere of warmth & welcoming. If an English person says someone was homily or your home is homily, trust me, it's not a compliment. Use "homey" or a synonym. It's kinder & you're lessening the chances of unintentionally hurting someone's feelings.

I have swapped out cabinet handles or knobs in the kitchen and bathroom. I just put back the originals when I moved.
I really like your little head nod at the end. It feels respectfull, very nice way to greet somebody. Your advices are always on point too!
I don't rent but great tips for home owners who are on a budget too.
Right on time video for me. We just moved into a new rental in Japan.

I recently rent a small apartment, your advices are so useful 😊
The only way I decorated was curating the things I owned. All my paintings were few but big, such that I leaned them against the wall, almost layering them. I did NOT drill holes or nails, no wallpapers, no paint job. Lots of big faux trees, lamps, rugs.
Great, practical tips!
Quite a few fantastic tips😊 thank you🙏

Incredibly helpful video, thank you. I love the sweater you're wearing. Where did you get it?
Ahh got them from Uniqlo!
I have searched for a link for the sheers…would you be able to provide it for me? TIA. Love all your videos😁
Tip Nr. 12: Never Rent a Home on a busy road, never!
Where is the 1 to 11?
Worse yet, never buy on one!
Why not, noise concerns?
@@mark9294 noise, plus safety if you have pets or kids or even visiting kids.
Hello. Do you still have the link for two lamps in 1:32?
Thanks for sharing another great video. Could I please ask what the screen size is of the monitor you are using in the video.
Thanks for the helpful video! What is the music app / system you mentioned?
My shower head is moving with me 😂

Hello Raynard
Hello 👋
Not a decorating video getting too real about life in the end 😭
Life in the end is real, doesn’t help to deny it.

Hello. Where can I buy this bed, please? That's exactly what I'm looking for.
I was thinking the same thing but i couldn’t understand the name of the bed he mentioned. But a good alternative which is very similar is a thuma bed. It’s very much like that one no tools required a Japanese style brand.
It’s the Eva Timber Bed Frame (AU) - collabs.shop/fkhyar
But a similar one in the US would be the Thuma Timber Bed Frame - fave.co/3F117JW
I used my tech abilities to reverse search bed and Eva home Timber bed is the name !!! You're welcome 😊
The bed frame is over $1000?? 😮
One caveat is that your apartment looks great because it has high ceilings and a big balcony window. A lot of apartments simply don't have that.

If you Google "homely" it means cosy in British, and it means unattractive in American - so confusingly two very different meanings haha!
