You always surprise me with what can be done with such small, well used, fully packed little spaces - as I always begin by thinking not much can be done and then you end up with a lovely welcoming and efficient space. I’m very much enjoying your work.
This gives me motivation to try this. My wife and I share a room on the ground floor of our house as an office. I don't even use my half anymore because we have so much of her stuff taking over the whole room. The house has NO storage at all except under the stairs.
An excellent start to this new series! Love it. As well as these design mock-up videos, it would to cool to have a bonus ep a few months down the line to follow up with some of the folks submitting these photos and see how their redesigns went (if they happened), practically speaking. Maybe also a total estimated budget at the end, totaling all the prices in the screenshots for the various IKEA/amazon items you mentioned. Unless there was one and I missed it.
This was such a beautiful transformation! I really hate the small box rooms in our houses, but this really shows how much you can make use of it :) Excited for this series!
I love this series! It's great to see the thought process and work process with different mediums. I never thought of a render in the same perspective as the photo. The before and after were striking and more convincing. Most of the people I know dislike white spaces, but I personally think they make the room seem bigger. The accent colors are concentrated on the important items such as monitors, tabletop and window. Looking forward to more ☺️
Hi Daniel, fellow architect here! I really do have to second your recommendation to put in an LED strip to replace the task lighting. I did this in my own home office at the start of the pandemic and it's made such a huge difference to my workspace. One of the biggest benefits for me is that becuase the light comes from all angles, it doesnt cast shadows when you're writing or drawing. Excellent for anyone who might be doing a lot of sketching or writing! As an alternative option to the timber batten, you can also get very low profile aluminium channels which are designed to run the LED strip in. They look very tidy and come with a diffuser on the front, which helps give a more uniform light from the strip. You can even get a flush mounted version if you're handy with a router! Great video by the way, and really slick render 👍
This was fascinating, I definitely have a new appreciation for architects and their creativity! I imagine that a lot of poor designs are people just trying to save a quick dollar
Can you please make this a series? I'm a first year architecture student and videos like this one would help me a lot in terms of how to use softwares to create beautiful designs.
Getting rid of useless storage space is a huge one!! I moved in with my girlfriend just before things got crazy and suddenly I needed space for an office. I took some unused space in the basement and finished the walls. She gave me this old desk/table/cabinet type of thing that doesn't seem to know what it wants to be and is good at neither of those things. The room is 7' wide and the desk thing was only 6' wide so there were gaps and tons of clutter on that thing and it was a horrible place to work from. I took care of this last fall when a local wood supplier got the perfect piece I wanted... It's a maple slab 2 1/2" thick roughly 25" wide. I took it to work on our CNC router to flatten the top and cut 3 edges to the precise dimension of the back of the room, including the out of squareness of the walls. I flipped it over and cut relief pockets on each side of the new desktop. Back home I anchored pieces of angle iron to the wall studs and dropped the desktop in place. The angle supports hide in the pockets so it just looks like this massive shelf that's levitating in the back of the room. I screwed a length of low profile cable trough under along the back edge to hide all the wires into. It looks super clean and the slab's live edge with it's slight curve and wavyness feels like it wraps around you and is super comfy to work on. Last detail, in order not to hide the fabulous wood grain, my mousepad is just a circle of glass from an old broken clock.
what an awesome and underrated channel this is! even non-architects like me really relate and appreciate the wonders of space design. you have really translated design language concepts and principles to a commoner like me and made it really enjoyable to watch. Can’t wait to have more videos from you soon!
I really liked Mark's initial workspace. It gives a really cool vibe even though it's really cramped and sophisticated, it's like you're living in your own little world.
Love everything but the chair. I would never pick function over form on something like a chair. Armrests are very important. Herman Miller Aeron or Steelcase Leap are good options for chairs with adjustable armrests.
Also the Humanscale Freedom (which is what I have), which also looks quite sleek, and not like the bulky black plastic monstrosities normally associated with office chairs (though both the ones you mentioned look great too!) . I absolutely hate arm rests on chairs that I can’t lower enough to get out of the way, and on my old chair in the office I actually just took them off entirely, and was much happier for it! The arms on the Freedom are great because they can lower all the way down :)
O God - you're GOOOOD. These videos really highlight and prove that good design sense and training is a superpower. I wish I could pay you what you are worth.
Such a cool video idea. I’m at a stage in my life in which I’m trying to declutter. It’s tough, but so worth it. Wish I had a small space like this to do this work to lol
Just stumbled onto your channel, so glad I did. I am struggling with my home office: it is a disaster. Being a home designer, I think it's the "cobbler's child has no shoes" sort of an affair! Yikes. Thanks for the inspiration. The comment about half the things in the office not needing to be in the office hit hard! LOL Cheers.
Wow, this looks amazing & you included a screenshot of the products! I bought a Tempur-pedic chair because I work a 10 hr shift, but it looks bad & isn’t that comfortable. I may have to switch as the rest of my place is 80% IKEA!
If this is a series, I'd love if you could include follow ups from people who take the advice and update their setups based on your advice.
That would be dopee
this and more pls
Yes please
Yes please
This was unbelievable, wow, just wow.
Thanks Paddy!! 🙌🏼😃
So excited to see more of these.
If he ends up remodeling the space hopefully he shares the photos with you. Would love to see it when it's finished!
I love the way you describe perceptions such as "calm in one's peripheral vision". So true.
Blown away by how you seem to generate these renders so easily. Incredible.
Software package!!!!
Wow congratulations to the lucky one who got selected for the makeover concept! Great video Daniel!
I'm absolutely speechless. What a wonderful minimalist design. Thanks for sharing.
I'm a fan of the before with the wood tones and character. It felt used with a sense of purpose.
You completely transformed the room. It's giving me a lot of inspiration for my own set up, keep it up Daniel!
You always surprise me with what can be done with such small, well used, fully packed little spaces - as I always begin by thinking not much can be done and then you end up with a lovely welcoming and efficient space. I’m very much enjoying your work.
This is probably my favorite series of yours. Super inspiring to see how rooms can be transformed so functionally and aesthetically!
This gives me motivation to try this. My wife and I share a room on the ground floor of our house as an office. I don't even use my half anymore because we have so much of her stuff taking over the whole room. The house has NO storage at all except under the stairs.
I like that you walk us through your thought process including the "back to the drawing board" moments.
I was blown away by the transformation. How i wish I have an architect friend 😀
This was so fun to watch! Would love to see more videos like this. Maybe he will actually transform his room.
Great work documenting the process. It helps to see how it all comes together vs just the before and after.
An excellent start to this new series! Love it.

Daniel, this was absolutely fantastic. I can't imagine the amount of time this took to do, but I sure hope we see more of these in the future!
Thanks for showing the idea of TV mounts for lifting monitors off the desk. Great job with this video 👍
I’m already in love with series and it’s just the first one 😍 Awesome to see your thinking process Daniel, please keep them coming!

I am in high school and I like architecture.......looking forward to pursue in....
But this series is already so inspiring...thank u for creating this
I really love showing the use of sketch up and photo shop.

I love your idea of the low profile aluminum channel. Can you share a link please? Also is the LED strip attached to an outlet or battery operated?
This was fascinating, I definitely have a new appreciation for architects and their creativity! I imagine that a lot of poor designs are people just trying to save a quick dollar
What a great video. So fascinating to see how everything came together layer by layer. Excellent.
When I saw the alert, I thought it was your new work station. This is so beautiful.
Final design is so clean and neat!
I have no ads when watching youtube for over 3 years, thank God!
Thank YOU ! 😊
This is by far the most enjoyable vlog I've seen.
It was in the right balance between informative and entertaining. Hope to see some more
You inspire us to move forward and improve our spaces and ourselves! Thank you so much for your videos
this was absolutely phenomenal!
Can you please make this a series? I'm a first year architecture student and videos like this one would help me a lot in terms of how to use softwares to create beautiful designs.
This video inspired me buy a damn filing cabinet, weed out non-essentials, and organize my crap! Thanks.
That skadis looks so practical! Nice video, great redesign! When we did reno in our office, the best change was Music computing touch screen.

That sounds amazing 😍
wow your sketch up and photoshop skills are amazing. thanks so much for this Daniel!!
this is a brilliant idea and you've absolutely nailed it mate! please make this a series!!! i've always subconciously wanted something like this! 🔥🔥❤️
what an awesome and underrated channel this is! even non-architects like me really relate and appreciate the wonders of space design. you have really translated design language concepts and principles to a commoner like me and made it really enjoyable to watch. Can’t wait to have more videos from you soon!
Wow! That was a great video, I love these kind of videos, in fact I love desks full stop. Looking forward to the next one.
I'm really happy that TH-cam recommended one of your videos! Thanks for the great content.
You should provide this as a service for those who have no aesthetics taste and skills like yours. Bravo!
Hey Daniel! Love this vid! Absolutely amazing! You should do more like these
I really liked Mark's initial workspace. It gives a really cool vibe even though it's really cramped and sophisticated, it's like you're living in your own little world.
So cool, love seeing the possibilities
I saw the model online and had no idea it was just a concept. Looks amazing, so clean yet functional and comfortable. Very cool!
Hi
I am from INDIA.
This turned out to be very satisfying and is way better than the usual desk setups makeovers.
Would love to see more of these. 💯
Love everything but the chair. I would never pick function over form on something like a chair. Armrests are very important. Herman Miller Aeron or Steelcase Leap are good options for chairs with adjustable armrests.

Daniel! Loving this series already! Would love a video on your homes loft conversion🤩
This is awesome, can’t wait to see more! Will definitely be sending ours, it’s a very unusual alcove in our bedroom!
Nice job. The room turned out great. I like this video concept of people asking you to do a redesign of their place. Looking forward to see some more!
So excited to see more of these. lovely concepts.
Yasssssss - this is the content we are living for, Dan 👏🏼
Wow!! This was pretty cool! As an architect I love this kind of designs! Keep going man! Can't wait for next videos of the series
I really love your works which timelessly simplicity ever yet
This is amazing, please continue making videos like this!
I think trying to convert that door into pocketdoor would help the feeel a lot more too when entering/exiting and being able to leave it open.
make this as a series please!! Super Great content 💯
would love to see you do more like this 😊 your design concept is always on point.
It was so much more warm and inviting for work before. Like it had been lived in. New one is way more organized and clean but I feel it misses soul
Such a fan of how this channel is evolvingg
Really enjoyed this video. Amazing what you can do with a small space.
Brilliant, love the design.
O God - you're GOOOOD. These videos really highlight and prove that good design sense and training is a superpower. I wish I could pay you what you are worth.
Why is this so satisfying!
I am so in love with this channel already!!!!!!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ second video that I watched and I will keep watching.
What an AWESOME series idea. This is so cool.
Wow, this is so interesting and well made!
Such a cool video idea. I’m at a stage in my life in which I’m trying to declutter. It’s tough, but so worth it. Wish I had a small space like this to do this work to lol
Excited that I stumbled onto your work.
Absolutely love this series 🤙🏼
Daniel Titchener need his own Netflix show
So satisfying, more of these please
REALLY loving this series! You have a new subscriber in me.
This video is incredible! Aspiring to learn to design and use these softwares like you. This should be a series!
I absolutely love your channel and designs. Extremely practical and beautiful.
Amazing, I know is a lot of work, but I would love to see more videos like this.
Wow what a transformation and so practical.
Gotta love this. I'll have a box office as well in our home. This will be useful.
unbelievable , when i see the setup my brain stop working how you redesign it
We need more of these!!! Love it
WOW, in love with these series!
Great way to kick off this series
Im in love with this series
after watching your videos during my exams i want to redo my home, every room one by one to optimize and make the best use of space
This series is gonna be huge... ❤️
love this vid
This project looks incredible! Good job Daniel!☺️☺️
this is the first video that i watched from you and instantly subbed, do more of these!
Wow, such a great job! The concept of the video is very interesting. It should be a series. 👌👌👌😮
Just stumbled onto your channel, so glad I did. I am struggling with my home office: it is a disaster. Being a home designer, I think it's the "cobbler's child has no shoes" sort of an affair! Yikes. Thanks for the inspiration. The comment about half the things in the office not needing to be in the office hit hard! LOL Cheers.
One suggestion - don't forget to use plants as part of the deisgn. Even with sunlamps if neccesary. It can add softness and cleanse the air also :)
Yes. Even a little cactus is good, and they mean you can go away for as long as a month without returning to a dead plant.
Fantastic job Daniel, keep it up. If possible please do a follow up since this is your first one of the series.
Wow, this looks amazing & you included a screenshot of the products! I bought a Tempur-pedic chair because I work a 10 hr shift, but it looks bad & isn’t that comfortable. I may have to switch as the rest of my place is 80% IKEA!
I love your musical choises
This gave me a lot of inspiration, thank you, you did a great job
