not sure if she’s yanking our chain about the shoes in the kitchen cupboards - can’t imagine not cooking at all - other than that it’s a studio I could very much make my home 🇨🇦🙏 my studio is 350sq’ - think double car garage - love my north exposure - sun full on over the supper hour - and yes there is food in the kitchen - besides - I only have four pairs of shoes 🤣😂
@@ej3016 I keep my clothes in the kitchen cupboards because I never cook... I just really hate cooking lol. So. There are definitely people who live this way!
I thought the same thing. Perhaps something removable could be temporarily pasted to the recessed centers? Something to mirror the window panes, possibly?
I agree. the cabinets are just fine. They go with the woodwork. Assuming you have seen other NYC kitchens and bathrooms to know how great yours are! Nice place. Feels very comfortable.
Agreed, the kitchen cabinets look really good and they have a classically modern look that balances nicely all the gilded and more detailed design she has incorporated.
These are the best cabinets i’ve seen in a rental like they could be so much worse! We all know the usual wood kind… I think theyre fine as is, the handles helped a lot. I love this place
That's what I thought. They're not the type of cabinets you would find in a 1960s-70s home. They're definitely modern, and they make the kitchen more cozy especially with some warm amber lamps. 👌
The cabinet on legs at the end of the kitchen cabinets fits in so perfectly and "rounds off" the kitchen, creating a visual barrier that really improves the look. I think it was an inspired choice.
I agree 100%! At least they’re not old-fashioned oak, cathedral-style cabinet doors. As a former landlord, I would advise against doing anything - especially not peel and stick wallpaper because it will ruin the finish.
As a former technician I have to recommend you do NOT store power strips. modems, routers, etc in fabric or paper boxes. That is a major fire hazard. It's very reckless of you to recommend it to your viewers.
@@courtneykilmer9676 I would not say yes to doing that. The reason being is that those items tend to get warm and need plenty of ventilation room around them. The less space they have for ventilation, the hotter they get. So, keep that in mind with whatever you decide 😊
@@monkeymonkey8526 thank you for saying this, it drives me nuts. I work from home, tech role, so we get training on safety and this is one of the first DO NOT in the list of things not do ever do
What a lovely apartment. I actually love the kitchen cupboards. They complement the beautiful wood on the windows. Her colour choices are perfect. She has great taste and a wonderful personality.
I’ve been watching small space transformation clips for years and I think this is the warmest, coziest, yet spacious feeling apartment I’ve ever seen designed. Chef’s kiss!
I gotta give this to New Yorkers, y’all have great style and a knack for making the most out of whatever your given, make it your own and make it fabulous!
Rich New Yorkers do. This channel only ever shows us the homes of rich New Yorkers. When I lived in a tiny apartment in New York, I sure as hell didn't live like this.
So cool to see someone who also has a small studio apartment like me with a similar design style! Also, the shoes in the kitchen is totally giving Carrie Bradshaw 😂
I actually think the existing cabinet color adds warmth and richness to the space. I would keep it… accent the color in a vase or other decoration to make it look intentional. Great space!
My mother always said It’s not the size of the home or the apartment. Be blessed to have that first of all and it what to do with the apartment or the home that matters.😀
I lived in a studio apartment in 1995 till 2010. In the summer of 2010 I purchased a 400 sq ft studio condominium currently still living in the unit in 2024. I cannot imagine living in anything any bigger. Studio apartments and studio condominiums are the most overlooked real estate on the market.
It's strange for me to hear something like: "I cannot imagine living in anything any bigger". It's more psychologically comfortable for a person to live in an apartment where is a lot of free space around him and where the ceiling is high.
Easier to live in smaller spaces and actually more fun! Cozy and I can't stand it when I'm in a huge cavernous space, like mega mansions or super large apts! Prefer small kitchens as well! Big isn't necessarily better!!
@@brendadrew834 It's not fun to live in small spaces and not easier as well. As for me, I don't actually say about super large apts, the point is that a person needs enough free space to feel comfortable. But there must be a sense of proportion in everything of course. We need to know the limits. And in fact the small and dark spaces look like caves, but not huge.
I adore this space and would move into it tomorrow. The kitchen cabinets don’t bother me at all. I think changing the hardware successfully gave them a more vintage feel and the color of them echoes the walnut window trim. The moldings and wallpaper both increased the charm of the apartment so much and I love the moveable partition. Great decorating job! You certainly have an artistic eye for color, pattern and shape.
You don’t need expensive things to have a place you love calling home, and not everything in your home has to be perfectly aesthetically pleasing all of the time 💛
What a charming and thoughtful home! This exemplifies what living in NY means to me. So smart! I love how her personality and joie de vivre is in every moment! ♥️♥️♥️
I love what she did with the space! But it has awesome bones to begin with, the layout and the west facing windows really make the space livable. Her design is top notch!
She’s got great style. I noticed how just pulling the bed away an inch from being crammed next to the wall makes all the difference. She has a great eye and has made this place so lovely ❤
Lauren is a lovely lady that really knows how to decorate. Her apartment does NOT look like it is only 220 sq. ft.! It definitely looks a lot bigger, as she knew exactly how to place everything in order to expand her space. She has impeccable taste and that is because she lives in the fashion world! She has an eye for where she would place her furniture and accessories. I personally do not see anything wrong with her kitchen cabinets but if they are not her taste, she could perhaps get permission to cover them with peel and stick paper. There are so many varieties and colors out there that she could choose from. There may be other solutions, but I don't know what else she could do. If she decides to cover them I am sure they will turn out beautifully as she is so detail oriented.
If you use iron on tape making a 1.5 inch hem I the top and bottom of the closet fabric. Then put 1 screw in each cogeneration do the door next to the glass 2 inches outside the glass. Then string elastic through the top and bottom of the curtain then tie a knot securing it to the screws And then you have it easy made closet drapes. Love your space. Thanks for sharing 💕
Agree, great "bones" to start (window materials and size). Although maybe a little too difficult - would have been cool to do "molding" on the **ceiling, and then just detailed/older looking strip/border in the crevice between ceiling and wall. Lay out/spacing of the different areas - lovely. Agree, too, that it's a little harsh/awkward to be hit with a cabinet or interruption upon entering space. That problem was taken care of here. Thank you for sharing. Much happiness in your space.
A all I can say is spectacular.This place is great.I love the way it looks.I love like it looks lived in with such a little space, you made special areas just for yourself and other people. When they come over, you did a great job. This is one of the best I have ever seen... I'd live there in a heartbeat
For the wardrobe you can buy iron-on hemming tape to make it look neater. There's also velcro tape to hang it up more neatly. That's the easiest no-sew way I'm aware of.
Hi! Lovely home!! Regarding your pretty fabric panels for your wardrobe... Might you consider curtain rods small curtain rods installed at the tops and bottoms of each glass panel (inside) where your fabric could be more sturdier placed and easily shirred to your liking?
Fantastic looking decor. The colors are blended so beautifully in the space. I am envious of the bedding and the way Lauren put it together. I too, love the worn out leather chair.
So creative, so beautiful, I just loved this. Lauren has great taste and a beautiful spirit, I love how happy she is to be living there. Those kitchen cabinets are actually quite classic and lovely, the brass handles Lauren chose are perfect. My very favorite thing in this apartment is that gorgeous wallpaper. We just downsized to a small house so I found this video very inspiring. This tour was delightful in every way, thank you Apartment Therapy and Lauren! ❤
Wow!! What an absolutely amazing space!! I love everything about it (even the kitchen cabinets). Also, your spirit is so beautiful. Never let anyone steal your joy.
Instead of the messy curtain on your wardrobe you can get plastic stick on that looks like glass also would use a non see through screen to hide bed but like the studio apartment❤
I absolutely LOVE this apartment. You wouldn't believe it's only 220 square feet, it's so warm, cosy, yet gleaming with intentional design touches. The reason I clicked on the video is because of the beautiful bedspread - Jaipuri hand block print is SO gorgeous and absolutely ubiquitous in India. While Lauren mentions that it's an English-garden vibe from Ballard Designs, I HAVE to take this moment to talk about how beautiful hand-printed block print even came to be in England, or associated with it for that matter! (hint: trade -> colonialism!) As as Indian, this is Jaipuri hand block print so dear to everyone back home! Would love for viewers of this channel to know a little bit more about the ancient technique that a lot of contemporary Western design houses are importing as "English" motifs when actually they are very deeply from the Indian subcontinent. Another amazing example of it is her amazing desk-chair cushion with Jaipuri block print! Beautiful space and design choices!
I had to lol when she said I had no place to put my shoes so...and then opened a kitchen cabinet door and said so I here's where I put my shoes..i lol...something ...I would..do...I hate clutter and everything I own must be placed where it can not be seen...that really bothers me so I put things under the beds......in matching woven baskets over my dryer and washing machine shelves which are behind doors...I really have to start writting on a sheet of paper where I hid things and hang inside my bedroom closet... I'm always in my bedroom closet to get my clothes to wear.,everyday..soooo yea, that's what I will do...when I move next mth into a 2 store ,3bedroom 1930 HSE..or forget it.. I will be searching all day long... LoL..yes I am...but seriously must do exactly that...your video was absolutely super..my hat goes off to u... can't wait for all the next ones..thank u for do many more ideas added to mine already..❤❤❤
So darling. Traditional vibe! Those cabinets? I'd suggest either fabric inserts, temporary contact type, or fancy paper ( art stores), even woven placemats cut to fit, and use double stick low- tack tape. With patterns just center them. And to finnish off your wardrobe fabric? If you're not a sewer get iron on hemming tape. Press a 1/4 inch fold to each wrong side, then another half with the tape inside. It's hemmed! And to attach on top and bottom you can order a wider, more sticky double tape through Amazon, etc.
I'm with you when it comes to a separate kitchen and the molding. That fire escape is also a nice extra if no balcony. One thing I would do differently is replace the bed with a "Murphy Bed"...practical and always ready but not in your face.
This? This I love...! Thoughtful, reasonable, beautiful. Scale of everything is on point. The changing vignettes of each little area just _works_ . Burnt orange cinnamon to match the window frames was fantastic. Her dress sense, & her home create a combination where I (a very grumpy person) would trust her judgement.
Wowzer! I agree re cabinets though they do reflect a tone of the beautiful windows but Lauren's wallpaper install and use of that color with the ridged cabinet that sits in front of the base cabinet tones alot of that intense orange/bown wood out of the equation. Overall a real retreat has been created here. Grade: A+!
A place created with love and such a good feeling for style and combinations. Very elegant with lots of Laura-Ashley-Vibes. I love it! And I love her shoes in the kitchen cabinet 😂
Yes, but Lauren, if they really bother you, you might consider placing a removable adhesive-backed thin mirrored panel to the inset areas to detract from the wood you don't care for and also to continue your reflective theme. (?) Beyond that idea, what about covering the mirrored cabinet areas with your choice of etched glass-looking contact paper?? Kind of gives the feeling of looking out a "real" window. Just a thought or two. Blessings!
A very tasteful and stylish place. What would work well in your wardrobe would be expanding curtain wire, the sort that is plastic coated with a hook and eye to secure it in place. It’s designed for light weight fabric and all you’d have to do would be to sew a channel top and bottom and thread the wire through - and Bob’s Your Uncle.
Love this so much!!! I want to move in right now! It's cozy, eclectic, charming, and inspiring. Love the worn leather with the more glam french desk, fabulous combo!
Use a door spring at the top of your closet door to put fabric on. Small nails on either end and maybe one support in the middle. Then just use the Velcro to wrap the spring. Kitchen cabinets, since you don’t cook, add some of the wall paper into the interior panel of cabinet doors and/or turn into a gallery
The best thing about your studio is having a kitchen that is tucked away in a nook. Your bed is taking up space that could be better used, but I guess it goes with you from rental to rental. Your changes have made a basic box into a lovely space.
how would you better use the space the bed is in - she has a desk, storage, a sofa - really all she’s missing is a table but if she doesn’t cook she won’t be needing a dining room table - even if she did cook - the dining room table wouldn’t be going where the bed is - so without be a jerk about it - how would you better use the space the bed is in 🇨🇦🙏
LOVE studio tours especially featuring grown ass women living in them! New Yorkers know there is no shame living in a studio. Sure we might prefer more space, but if a studio allows you to live in the place that makes your heart feel alive, you can make it work beautifully.
Hi, I'm a former retired fashion illustrator in NYC and also studied interior design and I have to say you have excellent taste! I had a studio apt many moons ago and now live in a 19th century carriage house cottage in New England! Studio apts are indeed cozy! Enjoy~~♥♥
This studio is designed for the youngsters with extroverted styles. Lauren Wilson’s studio by far is beautifully done. Ms. Wilson’s shows the beauty of her Studio’s designs. Thank you for the tips on where to get cm and the installation people, that anyone get their services.
I'm sorry...but 'what'???? 'youngsters w/extroverted styles' WHAT does that even mean...she's a grown career, successful woman, not a youngster. What the heck does extroverted style mean...this is a very traditional, chic apartment.
You could get over the door hooks to hang paintings/artwork on the cabinets. They sell small felt self stick pads you can put on the back corners of the frames to prevent scratches on the cabinet faces. I think this would really dress up those cabinet doors.😊
Your apartment is so cute. If you want to change up your cabinets, take foam board and cut it to fit the middle of your cabinets. You can cover the foam board with fabric, wallpaper, caning, etc. I just really think your apartment is lovely and dreamy.💕💕
Since the cabinets have inset panels I would recommend using peel and stick wallpaper that compliment the tone of the cabinets and tie into the over color scheme of the apartment. It’ll minimize the over brown tone feeling of the kitchen and give a fun feel and bring more color.
Although I have a house, I still have small spaces. Love your idea of making the entrance design separate. The entry from my garage is small like this. Great idea. Thanks 👍🏻
A person could live in this space quite happily and for a very long time. This is what a studio apt is supposed to be: liveable.

Same. I quite like the rest but I'd want a kitchen I can use.
@@ej3016 I keep my clothes in the kitchen cupboards because I never cook... I just really hate cooking lol. So. There are definitely people who live this way!

The kitchen cabinets match the window woodwork - embrace them! You glammed them up with the beautiful brass pulls and they look great.
I thought the same thing. Perhaps something removable could be temporarily pasted to the recessed centers? Something to mirror the window panes, possibly?
I agree. the cabinets are just fine. They go with the woodwork. Assuming you have seen other NYC kitchens and bathrooms to know how great yours are! Nice place. Feels very comfortable.

Agreed, the kitchen cabinets look really good and they have a classically modern look that balances nicely all the gilded and more detailed design she has incorporated.
This woman knows what she wants and is very knowledgeable on where to source the products that make her home so perfect for her.
Very airy, open and lovely. Traditional yet friendly. The kind of space you want to come home to at the end of the day.
So glad I found this video....learned some renter-friendly upgrades, especially the peel and stick moulding. Love it!

Those cabinets are beautiful, and match the woodwork on the windows. So tired of seeing everything painted white or gray.
My cabinets are painted metal *sigh*
I love how her home is fabulous but lived in with pieces that show her personality and add flavor to the space 👏🏾👏🏾
I consider hot glue, velcro, double sided tape cheapen things..well ..at the very least, not elevated. Only my opinion. Don't hate me. 😮

100% agree about the cupboards! The wood is warm and elegant (the new handles are perfect) and I’m glad the building didn’t let her paint them.

I lived in a studio apartment in 1995 till 2010. In the summer of 2010 I purchased a 400 sq ft studio condominium currently still living in the unit in 2024. I cannot imagine living in anything any bigger. Studio apartments and studio condominiums are the most overlooked real estate on the market.

Of all the decor, I liked Lauren’s blouse the best.

I'm with you when it comes to a separate kitchen and the molding. That fire escape is also a nice extra if no balcony. One thing I would do differently is replace the bed with a "Murphy Bed"...practical and always ready but not in your face.

I’m so amazed how people in NY can make it nice in such small apartments.
A place created with love and such a good feeling for style and combinations. Very elegant with lots of Laura-Ashley-Vibes. I love it! And I love her shoes in the kitchen cabinet 😂
Very creative young lady. Love what she did in such a small space.
Great space, especially the windows and the large mirror.
Cool aesthetic.
She's so articulate and that's a lovely tiny apartment. I wish I can get to decorate my tiny studio half this nice
So beautiful. Well done. Thank you for sharing 💛💛💛
your place looks great! I think the kitchen cabinets are nice and suit the space. They also resemble the wood in the windows. 🙂
Love IT!!!! & LOVE the cabinets they match the window mouldings!!! Put up some peel 'n stick on the bath walls for some color or paint the walls
Incredible what you have done with such a small space. Your bedroom is your living room
Those kitchens cabinets are beautiful.
Yes, but Lauren, if they really bother you, you might consider placing a removable adhesive-backed thin mirrored panel to the inset areas to detract from the wood you don't care for and also to continue your reflective theme. (?) Beyond that idea, what about covering the mirrored cabinet areas with your choice of etched glass-looking contact paper?? Kind of gives the feeling of looking out a "real" window. Just a thought or two. Blessings!
Like everyone says, the wood look on the cabinets is great. Maybe add some molding to tie them into the look of the windows even more !
This is a beautiful studio. Personally I cannot live in a small space in such a big city but love that people make their space so beautiful.
absolutely stunning! She did an amazing job decorating it and creating that lived-in feel.
A very tasteful and stylish place. What would work well in your wardrobe would be expanding curtain wire, the sort that is plastic coated with a hook and eye to secure it in place. It’s designed for light weight fabric and all you’d have to do would be to sew a channel top and bottom and thread the wire through - and Bob’s Your Uncle.
Love this so much!!! I want to move in right now! It's cozy, eclectic, charming, and inspiring. Love the worn leather with the more glam french desk, fabulous combo!
Use a door spring at the top of your closet door to put fabric on. Small nails on either end and maybe one support in the middle. Then just use the Velcro to wrap the spring.
Kitchen cabinets, since you don’t cook, add some of the wall paper into the interior panel of cabinet doors and/or turn into a gallery
I like the idea of replacing the pull bead of the blinds. I have some beautiful amber beads that will work. Thanks for your clever design ideas!
Lovely home. The kitchen cabinets are fine, adds warmth.
The best thing about your studio is having a kitchen that is tucked away in a nook. Your bed is taking up space that could be better used, but I guess it goes with you from rental to rental. Your changes have made a basic box into a lovely space.
And what would you have her do for a bed?
how would you better use the space the bed is in - she has a desk, storage, a sofa - really all she’s missing is a table but if she doesn’t cook she won’t be needing a dining room table - even if she did cook - the dining room table wouldn’t be going where the bed is - so without be a jerk about it - how would you better use the space the bed is in 🇨🇦🙏
What an amazing vision she has for her living space. Very impressive.
LOVE studio tours especially featuring grown ass women living in them! New Yorkers know there is no shame living in a studio. Sure we might prefer more space, but if a studio allows you to live in the place that makes your heart feel alive, you can make it work beautifully.
Hi, I'm a former retired fashion illustrator in NYC and also studied interior design and I have to say you have excellent taste! I had a studio apt many moons ago and now live in a 19th century carriage house cottage in New England! Studio apts are indeed cozy! Enjoy~~♥♥
The cabinets look so good with the rest of the apartment. I love it.
This studio is designed for the youngsters with extroverted styles. Lauren Wilson’s studio by far is beautifully done. Ms. Wilson’s shows the beauty of her Studio’s designs. Thank you for the tips on where to get cm and the installation people, that anyone get their services.
I'm sorry...but 'what'???? 'youngsters w/extroverted styles' WHAT does that even mean...she's a grown career, successful woman, not a youngster. What the heck does extroverted style mean...this is a very traditional, chic apartment.
You could get over the door hooks to hang paintings/artwork on the cabinets. They sell small felt self stick pads you can put on the back corners of the frames to prevent scratches on the cabinet faces. I think this would really dress up those cabinet doors.😊
Your apartment is so cute. If you want to change up your cabinets, take foam board and cut it to fit the middle of your cabinets. You can cover the foam board with fabric, wallpaper, caning, etc. I just really think your apartment is lovely and dreamy.💕💕
Gorgeous apartment. All the beautiful fabrics and textures are paired so perfectly ❤😊
Since the cabinets have inset panels I would recommend using peel and stick wallpaper that compliment the tone of the cabinets and tie into the over color scheme of the apartment. It’ll minimize the over brown tone feeling of the kitchen and give a fun feel and bring more color.
I Love the Vintage Bathroom! Beautiful space. Thank you for sharing.
True New York living. I love the shoes in the kitchen cabinet. ❤❤❤
Although I have a house, I still have small spaces. Love your idea of making the entrance design separate. The entry from my garage is small like this. Great idea. Thanks 👍🏻
Oh my gosh I love your shoe cabinet ..perfect it made me smile .
Love the shade string pulls! Beautifully designed space!❤
