@lynda.grace.14 3 жыл бұрын

It had legs which might be removable. But I'd pull the rug out to reveal more of it if I were to take the legs off. But the bed will be the most expensive component of the makeover, so perhaps that wasn't in the makeover for budget reasons. It could be changed in the future though.

As a Scandinavian obsessed with Japanese interior design I think this turned out beautifully! For some ideas for future decore items to add to the room I'd advice the couple to shop for items in different shades of grey and grey and grey-blues with texture. It's very true that Scandinavians usually will only consider navy for a pop of colour lol. Bamboo and lighter woods are also very Japanese and Scandi, but don't be scared of a textured very dark wood for accent pieces, like a naturally shaped bowl or stool with raw edges. Also to add patterns (in moderation mind) look for inspo from traditional japanese ceramics and the more monochromatic prints from Finnish brand Marimekko (the Oiva-series is crazy popular in Japan). To add warmth stick to textured terracotta and small touches of a dark but true red (think dried rose hips or red tulips) and mustard yellow. Tambouring is also another way to add warmth with texture rather than colours. Also if you have a larch tree anywhere nearby grab some of those branches sans needles, the branches have the perfect shapes for japandi. Have fun! 😊

@lalalalalalalala8111 3 жыл бұрын

I would love it of you could talk about having to design a space for two people and one person has a certain style while the other likes something else. I feel like a lot of couples have one person who gets what they want in a design and the other just doesn't speak up or hasn't given it a thought until the room is finished and they feel like they cant see themselves in the space, they only see the more out spoken partner. I feel like a lot of design has become 'my way or the high way' between significant others where the room was only designed for one person in mind. So I would love to see a more collaborative design process spoken about, both between partners and the designer, instead of a compromise where only one person gets what they want. (Not saying this happened here, the room is beautiful!)

Oh dear. The overall feeling is nice, but I can’t believe how that navy dresser is a miss: so low you can’t see it, blocks the walkway, the handles are really cool but they could stab you in the legs because they project out so far. I would have done something art wise that took the whole wall at the foot of the bed, and bought a tall dresser for the side next to the bed.

With winter starting in the Northern hemisphere and many of us having to spend more time indoors, I’d like to see you do a Hygge style design. Full of warmth, coziness and well-being vibes. Well done on this cool, calming, paired back Japandi design. You showed a lot of restraint holding off the urge to add the occasional Pom Pom.

I live in Tokyo, Japan and yes Japandi style is all the rage now in here, with the stores such as Muji, Actus, Nittori ( mix with Ikea of course ) leading the way. However it is now already reach an oversaturation point, slowly losing its momentum and ( thank goodness !!) the more decorative, fun style is already gaining momentum now with stores such as FrancFranc, Zara Home , EstNation, Isetan etc providing the perfect decorative items for the more fun, more playful, colorful style.

The timing of this couldn't be more perfect! I have long loved both Scandinavian and Japanese design elements but not known how to incorporate both into my life. I'm getting ready to move from my tiny home (the on-wheels kind) into a studio space and because of the tiny house situation I'm starting at ground zero with basically no furniture (I've got a side table, a trash can, and hopefully a mattress). Excited to have this inspo to keep in mind while furniture shopping!

You read my mind. I love the rugged, rustic, mountain and Native American look. Indian feathers, head dresses, antlers (moose)!Pendleton blankets,, wildlife photography and or paintings on the walls, saddles and horse shoes, western ropes and last but not least, leather and suede. I found a small rug that can double as a throw and it looks like a Buffalo hide draped over the back of the sofa. I also have my walls full of beautifully framed wildlife (Buffalo/tatanka), wolves etc. We have a leather sofa, loveseat and chair/ottoman in the living room. A cow hide is draped and fitted on the sofa. I found a throw that was patterned as cow hide, covered two large pillows. Now it looks like one piece.- I found a long slightly curved branch. Then wrapped part of it in leather and added feathers. It turned out great, looks Native American. I have a small over shoulder deer hide purse that has the long pieces of leather with beads inserted randomly that serves as wall decor when not being used as s purse. Sorry I’m getting carried away but this style has always excited me. Oh and I forgot lots of wood and a fire place!

I love this style! My grandma used a similar one when I was growing up, low bedside tables that had no drawer pulls (they were actually dressers, she had lots of space!), curtains that had a cream background with turqoise and black geometric shapes, etc. My aunts had moved to California in the '60's and while visiting them she fell in love with the Asian style and tried hard to use that idea when decorating her newly built home in Kansas!

@chloebelle4526 3 жыл бұрын

I think you nailed this look. It's warm and inviting without being boring. The textures (the rattan, the jute rug) add so much. The clock is STUNNING and I love where it is. The knobs on the dresser totally sass it up and make it look like a more expensive piece (they'll get used to the knobs being there - nobody's going to have scarred up legs or anything!). Great job.

She was so excited! If the knobs are not working, its nothing to swap them out for something with a lower profile but I feel they wont be in the way. It really needed that tall plant. I have not heard of Japandi before but it really does make sense. The two ideas mesh very well together, simple but with texture, attention to small details and comfort. One thing I would have done was add some of those under the bed storage containers. If you only have a few they wont show in the room and add some extra storage for seasonal clothing ect. I really love how the color on the wall goes with the art piece. Great choice! Also, one thing you could do if you are trying to get a feel for how big something will be in a space and make a taped mock up on the floor/walls of the height, length and depth.

Currently binge watching your videos, sometimes I think "ohh no, please don't do that" and it always turns out great. Only this time ... the dresser? To deep for me. It gets in the way of a calm flow of how to walk around your bed, and since they didn't need it, maybe a less deeper one? And then again, it is way much easier to comment after than to design it ourselfs isn't it! So many people so many preferences 😅 Thank you for all your inspiration ❤

The throw pillow should have been blush. IMHO I’d like to see pillows on bed smoothed out so it looks finished and un slept. The linen lends the casual look. The plant in the window area was sl nice and the wall clock decals great! Well done.
