The "dungeon coffin thing" in home 2 is a ceramic tiled heater; found in many eastern European homes, they are fueled with coal and radiate heat throughout the home.

Hello , I was the owner of the last home , thanks for the constructive criticism I think it will help a lot . I forgot to mention that I only have one room which is why it might look a bit small ,I forgot to mention that I’m actually still a teen and living with my parents but I’m moving out soon so I’ll have a lot more space . So the tv was a prop for a photo shoot I did and the bar /cabinet will soon be replaced. Thanks again

Hi everyone. For those interested. I am the owner of home 1. I have a lot of emotional attachment to certain pieces so that's why they are all stored inside; Ice axe from climbing mountains, time trial bike from ironman triathlons, japanese curtains from travels in Japan etc. Originally the dining area was integrated in the living room but I've decided to open up the wall to have a more open space. There is no TV indeed, this is in an attempt to be more present. Coming home for me is all about relaxation and watching TV isn't doing it for me. I rather have people come over, read a book or workout. My time is very limited so I don't miss it much either. When a lady comes over we usually chat with a glass of wine and good music and talk about all the props in the house. By the way, the table is from Studio Henk, metal shelving from Bolia and the sofa from Furninova. The home itself is located in Belgium close to a city with a view towards a park. Happy to answer any questions or share more!

5:25 I think, that is a tile stove. Could be very warm and cozy in the winter. 😌 Anyway, “dungeon coffin thing” was a pretty close guess. 🤣

To be honest, I could watch these types of videos everyday. Well done.

I love the clinking ice in the glass. It exudes a relaxing sense of class

These are an improvement to your previous video. I’d love to see more like this.

At 5.40, that could be a rocket stove. It’s a super efficient enclosed stove that burns wood at very high temperatures and can produce a lot of heat. They would typically only be found in very rural areas.

The large object in the living room (no.2) looks like an old-fashioned heating system which is still found in parts of Eastern Europe.

2:25 for movie nights, I recommend a projector with a pull-down screen

15:31 I am no heavy drinker but Gentleman Jack is my all time favourite drink, different from other whiskeys outhere (and here it is not cheap at all 😅) !

8:30 the guy with the third house needs to rotate his lamp shade so the seam faces the wall.

16:51 That tv looks like it came straight out of the flintstones

Great video, as always! The thing you described as a "dungeon coffin thing" is a tile stove, also called Berliner Ofen. You most likely find these in old German houses. They were used to keep the flat warm during cold weather, especially when there were no heaters in the flats.

In the second home it's a Kachelofen. A wood or gas stove for heating. Here in Germany a lot older homes have it. It's often in the kitchen or the living room placed.

14.30, ideally some adjustable shelves or rack system above the sink to hold that counter clutter would be ideal. If it’s a rental you can’t always do that stuff tho, I get it. Your comments and advice were spot on throughout, I would love to see more videos like this.

Please make this a series!

Nice and fair analysis of these living spaces. And, to the residents, I applaud them for having the courage to share! That said, I enjoyed the video. Personally, I am a minimalist that leans toward a blend of contemporary (not ultra modern) with industrial loft overtones. I look forward to future videos! Thank You

Watching this and taking mental notes.

Years back, when my partner and I got together, we resolved to aim to buy one nice piece of artwork per year. Over the 24 years we were together, we developed quite a nice collection. In fact, now that I am alone, I have too many good pieces to display them all and have selected my favorites for my walls and shelves. By deciding to allow yourself one nice piece a year, you free yourself to think of spending hundreds or even a few thousands now and then, which can yield some great items, often with a memorable story behind their purchase. I know so many people who, instead, decorate their homes with bland framed prints. These are fine when you are starting out, but in the long term, I find that it's better to have art that you can be proud of.

I really love your videos!!

I absolutely love these videos, please make more of these and never stop. The second I move out to my own place I will decorate it with all the gentlemans essentials, with a 60s through 90s vibe. Im starting my art work collection with some Austin Powers posters, have you seen the movies? ✌️

Thank you for this Video, i am mooving to a new flat soon and some apartments are a good inspiration! Thank you!

5:53 it looks like wood burning oven/ fireplace.

Loved this ❤️ tour.

10:22 one thing that stood out to me are the Vejigante Mask (pronounced veh-hee-gahn-tay) on the wall. They are originally from Puerto Rico and traditionally used for festivals typical from the south of the island.

Plenty of lamps and/or sconces give off a much more pleasant lighting than overhead lights. Also, use bulbs with a nice warm glow staying away from cold bulbs which are harsh. Keep your place smelling nice with a good candle or a high end aroma device; I like the pura plug-in because it offers designer scents. However, too much fragrance can be overwhelming and off putting.

I would love to see more videos like this, some good ideas for my future house 😁

A good follow-up on this would be rating home office spaces.

Omg its so funny when you commented on the bike.

2:42 If you're cold, they're cold, bring them in!

In my opinion, the grouping above the sofa would look much better as a group of three a hung an inch or so lower.

I hope that ''Bauhaus'' in the background does not refer to the architecture style, because Bauhaus is best-described as a vigorous attack on tradition, culture and anything to do with classical living. The watches are very neat, though.

Gentleman Jack is excellent. I’ve heard it’s closer to what Jack was like in the 50’s when Sinatra would have drank it. Can’t confirm of course. If you like that I would also recommend Old Forrester 1870 and/or 1910, if you have not yet tried.

LOVE the video!🥰😂👍🏻

Interesting review video. I have to object to the criticism of #4’s kitchen. If you cook, there is going to be cooking tools in the kitchen. It’s very easy to have a show kitchen if you only eat out in restaurants.

Gentleman jacks is nice, I am really in to Woodford reserve at the moment and Suntory Toki whiskies

Hello, I watched the desert climate styling video and i am planning on buying the suede shoes you recommended, but i’ve heard that if they get stained it’s hard to remove them, so how would you wash them?

More sources of light would be nice 😁

2nd photo was nice, it's just that the lightning is key to photos. Due to how dark the lighting was, it made the spot look more like a liminal space than a warm home.

Since you've been on the Jack Daniels tour, did you learn about Uncle Nearest? By the way, some cool pads guys (well most of them).

What was the air freshener machine you spoke about in one of your posts???

5:05 the one you see on the right side will the scope is a break barrel air rifle, you can (with enough experience) easily see it on this model, also I noticed what I think is tins of pellets on the window judging by the size of the tin I assume it’s a .22 caliber, the other one I am not sure about, my view is very obstructed by the plant, I am going for a muzzle loader of some kind but I am not sure, I can see that it is something fairly old but it seems not to be something that is grab it and shoot it. The air rifle might be dangerous in the wrong hands but is hardly lethal, I have my weihrauch hw57 next to my bed at all times (unless I’m shooting it). An air rifle is more to scare away people than to actually un-alive someone, if it comes to it someone with a good understanding of the human body and who can shoot fairly good will be able to un-alive someone but because it’s a break barrel you only get 1 shot, my personal best is 6 rounds on target (10cm target) at 20 meters in 1 minute so it isn’t very fast, in a house without children an air rifle is completely safe like that, even though I am hugely pro second amendment I am against leaving out any kind of fire arm or air rifle around kids, even leaving out firearms if you live alone is something that I have my opinions on but nothing really against but a kid should not be able to touch anything that shoots without parental guidance

The first place with the bike. That at a quick glance was an expensive bike and given other things like the ice axe in the dining room. Although for display purposes i would have taken the bottle out of the cage. 🤷‍♂️ Anyone worth his time to date will definitely appreciate those touches. Knowing what i paid for my bicycles if he doesnt have a solid storage unit. Putting it on display in his living room gives a bonus of security and shows he take pride in his belongings. Also the rifle that was out. Depending where he lives, it could be a security thing against animals. I grew up with loaded rifles all around, just in case a predator or two came around. Its a way of life. 🤷‍♂️ I enjoyed the video and seeing the way others decorate their homes, as well as your opinions. Jack Daniel's brings back a lot of memories throughout high-school. 🙈 mixing it in with coke and drinking during class. I now drink a more local whiskey, but do enjoy the odd glass of Jack. Cheers,beers and whiskey!! 🤠 🥃

James, your comments are spot on, and much appreciated! You have a keen eye in spotting a few of the space and budget constraints that I have come across, along with my Acqua Di Parma candle haha And I do indeed have a girlfriend 😉

What I see is nice, but it's all so straight ahead contemporary. It would be nice to see some eclectic flair, add in a dash of Bohemian or traditional. More interesting that way

First of all, LOVE the beard! You look so handsome with it and it really brings out your eyes! SECONDLY, I enjoyed watching you taking (some) of these bachelors to task about their dingy apartments..some of them were pretty nice, but speaking as a WOMAN some of them were just scary! But I guess if a guy is just decorating for HIMSELF and not trying to impress a woman, it’s ok!

Hi Gent Z, sorry to bother you, but which brand/model of watch are you using in the video? Beautiful piece.

The magnum of Veuve Clicquot should be full and in an ice bucket.

Interesting Thank you..

Dear Gent, a pleasure as always, though I'm Gen X.

This bike is actually a very expensive one. Trust me as a sports guy you want it there

Home 5 looks like the home of an undertaker.

I didn’t send you any pictures but I’ll describe my bachelor pad for you. You walk in to the main foyer and on the right is the kitchen nothing too special there but just the usual stove, fridge, dishwasher etc. In the room behind that is my dining room but the dining table has replaced with a pool table and some art on the walls. Going back through the kitchen and into the foyer you’ll also see the back patio which has a hot tub and a sitting area. Now especially is a great time to be out there. Going back inside to the living room I have a plush couch with a side table and lamp on one side and my recliner and a floor lamp on the other. There’s a wood burning fireplace on the opposite wall with a TV above it and a few game consoles on the mantle. I also have some pictures of my city and some old cars scattered throughout. Going towards the back of the house I have two bedrooms. The master bedroom is where I sleep. I have a king bed with a mattress and bedding from the ritz carlton (don’t ask me how I got that). There’s my dresser and a small TV on the opposite side of the bed. The other bedroom is what i call my man cave even though I live alone. I call it that because it’s there I go to cut loose. It has a PC thats very overbuilt and can run just about anything as well as a chaise and a giant TV with a home theater system. And to top it off next to my gaming setup is a mini fridge full of beer. And that’s pretty much it. I keep everything very clean always and I’m very proud of my home.

This is actually a pretty good video, and not an insane parody of what a "gentleman" is like your other videos. It's still heavily based on appearances, and has virtually nothing to say about the character of the people who live in these places, but your takes are reasonable, overall.

yay

♦*Yes* bachelor pad with all masculine stuff, and then a bouquet of quality silk flowers 💐on the dinner table THAT says to his visiting girlfriend, ♥"WELCOME" he wants her 👧🏻 to be happy and comfortable to be there. It is classy, and welcoming to women. Yes to carbon-fibre super sport bicycles, but definitely not in the living room. ♠Definitely *NO* to glass coffee-tables, especially oddly shaped or triangle ones. It is too easy to bump into, causing bruised shins and pain. Glass coffee-tables are very hard and uncaring, and stealthy by being less visible in peripheral vision, they're totally not cool! ♣ It is good to have some art, but also leave a space for the lady in his life to participate and make her mark. Let HER come up with the idea to add something there.

Get a globe that is also a bar.

was it just me or did all but the first and third have really rough lighting?

a snow boarder would not have a snow board in the lounge.

In the last example, that is definitely a youth bed.

Heads up: the links in your description are broken

Boys, please don’t put your bed in front of a window facing away from it. Turn it 90 degrees from a window if at all possible. It’s completely unaesthetic and many girls will feel uncomfortable with a window behind them and it’s colder.

Those are not “French doors” gent; they’re called sliding glass doors. Calm down, calm down.

😅

Hey guys, Im 20 and studying at uni. I constantly get ridiculed by the way I dress and feel bad because of it. I wear shirts instead of t-shirts, oxfords instead of sneakers, chinos instead of jeans. Imo it shouldnt be wierd to dress like this when you are an adult, but the people around me make me feel very bad about it. Idk what to do, should I change my way of dressing so that I stop upsetting the people in my life?

HOUSE TOUR??????????????????

I disagree completely but eh, youre entertaining

I’m sorry, but those masks are not only creepy but lack cohesiveness with the rest of the room. Love the vintage posters. The bedroom flowers look like cheap silk flowers and the bedroom reminds me of those cheap bed and breakfast bedrooms in London. That last one, it looks like a repurposed aquarium turned into a pseudo make shift bar.

You're obviously not a cyclist. No love for bicycle's/

oh... best not to create and post content while drinking...

Soooooooo fake it hurts watching and yet I’m watching….
