Great work Matthew! And thanks for trusting our music to accompany your videos 😊

Plants everywhere, beautiful lights and relaxing chillhop... Definitively the definition of heaven

That dark wall and small rug at the dining table is SO effective is creating a distinct “zone,” which feels intimate and moody in contrast to the open and airy living space. Beautiful!!

And, your brother is a electrician. You guys are no joke. The bookshelves look great. Wow, everything came out really nice 👏🏽🏆🥇😻

His videos appear just the time we need them, He's amazing!

This turned out fantastic! Especially loving that dining room alcove and the way you have it styled. Nice work!

Those living plants pulled it all together and brought your space to Life 👍🏾

This is a designer's DREAM place. Nice work Matthew!

Seeing this notification while I’m in online school immediately brightens a boring day. Excellent work Matthew!

Wow I love it! I really love the black paint! My parents always think that dark colours are a no-go since it "makes the room appear smaller" but i think if you design it properly like you died it works like a charm!

I love the words alkoven, bold, moody and your calming voice saying them! And makeovers are my favorite. I had a difficult day planning my balcony makeover but finally I made the necessary decision to get rid of my big flowers boxes which also were there for stoping people gazing into my space which still made me uncomfortable. I wanted to replace them but after shuffling out a small amount of potting soil I decided not to do that every year again. All the shopping for potting soil taking to the 3rd floor and renewing it every year, noo! So I go with a willow privacy screen which is even higher than the old flower boxes and slowly adding some plants I can carry and water easily. It is a hard decision because I had vegetables here nice flowers but the last year it was already a problem to water them with 40 degrees every single day I also thought very often I can’t go on vacation because after that my balcony plants are dead! So no more cleaning the potting soil of the ground, no heavy watering every day, nice privacy which in the end was the most important one for me to even go and relax on the balcony. I still have to carry all the old potting soil downstairs but I already started and I am happy. And the willow privacy screen is so cheap I finally can get a food rest which I need for my back.

Even though I'm a dark wood, black and gray walls kind of guy, this looks fantastic. Love this kind of stuff. Inspires me.

As a carpenter/woodworker by trade, you've done a great job on the alcove shelves. They're trickier than one might think!

One of the coolest and top 3 aesthetically pleasing channels I've ever seen. Every time I come and watch your videos and all the craft behind them (filming, editing, diy-ing) I end up astonished. Whenever I'm lacking creativity, I know you'll be the person to give it back to me. Love the channel, the content and I'll always keep up with whatever you share with us next. Thank you, Matthew. Hope I can make content as good as this someday.

I like your idea when put plants anywhere, The vibe is Natural, Clean, and Minimalist

Those shelves are a 100% improvement! Looks great. Well done.

bro your voice, the music and visuals of this video is 100% ZEN. the room looks amazing!

Damn Mate, what are you? - a designer, an architect, youtuber or a shelf builder? It freaking awesome!

Cold weather + Coffee + Mat. Encina Videos = Relaxed/Satisfied mood.

Beautiful,classy, inviting place. The workplace is perfect with natural light pouring in abundance. Loved the dark wall, DIY shelves and dining furniture. Adds bit drama and contrast to the living room.

I'm thinking you're one of those people that just has a hand for mostly everything lol that room is just amazing and even more amazing is how quickly you've learned to play with woodworking!

These DIY videos are so satisfying to watch

Really nice! its also a breath of fresh air to see a realistic looking lounge room complete with a big TV and game consoles. The place feels real(istic) and not "pinterest-y". Brilliant work.

I love the new furniture. Mid-century is one of my favorites.

Man I really gotta say, your videos are really aesthetic and very calming. Absolutely love your videos man, keep it up!

Me and the homie on our way to watch Matthew Encina videos

Now we wait for the kitchen makeover ;) Some white quartz counters would look stellar on the black painted walls

You have a great eye for detail and amazing taste. Really good use of space and a pleasing lack of clutter.

A video about the “last touches” would be nice, about how to decorate and make a room feel tight together.

when i start renovating my room, you come up with a new video again.

Men! You are so creative! From the make over of your living room to your video editing. It's all worth to watch 😉👌

Man it's magic! Wondering how you're able to do so great stuff by yourself 'cause for me it's incredibly difficult 😳 Thanks for sharing this! Much respect!

Glad I discovered you on KZfaq Matt 😊 Your narration is calming, pleasant and the whole vibe of your videos is very peaceful, almost a cathartic experience ❤️

I always look forward to these videos! :)

Love the dinner room alcove with the turntable; just brilliant !

I like that you are making more Videos now 👍🏼

9 secs ago😊👍 Edit: The effort and the hardwork you put in this is extraordinary. It really inspire us to try it ourselves. The dopamine is kicking in. Great work as always sir👏

Awesome video!

After watching your videos, I always try to apply those things to my room. but after several days, the interest that I have is slowly going down. then I watch your videos again and again to refresh.

Wow your living room is really awesome and relaxing! The vinyl corner is clearly my favorite place !!

Wow its really Awesome bro,I like it ,Please make a setup for craft studio setups

It doesn't matter what I'm doing, I'll watch your video first.

Being a former interior designer, looooove your place, REALLY! Ok, it's the same kind of design than mine, but hey, BEAUTIFUL NONETHELESS!!!

INSPIRATIONAL EVERYTIME I WATCH YOUR VIDEOS! its so valuable in any way we could think of!

Someone: How many plants do you need for this project? Matthew: Yes

it makes me sad that one day, there would be no more rooms to makeover 😔

Being a plant person myself, loved the makeover

Binge watching your videos. There is something so soothing and relaxing about them. Good job bro. Inspired to make a change!

04:55 that lighting was awesome

Beautiful! My favorite part was the dark corner!

I bought a new home a few months ago, so I have been getting into all sorts of DIY projects and this is so inspiring. Beautiful Home Matthew!

Not even a month apart and another video drops. Must be a good month!

I love the lighter coloured rug under the dining table, subtle yet contrasts the dining table area against the darker surroundings. So good!

This is sheer brilliance. Great work Matthew!

Your DIY projects are always inspiring. Nicely done!

You’re so great! KZfaq was dead without you!

This lifted my spirits, I love the space

it's so nice when someone with design background can explain the why of using/doing specific things rather than saying "because it looks good". very well done on this video Matthew!

Beautiful before and after! Love the use of the curtain rod for the hanging plants.

Inspiring & cozy as always, never knew black colour would look so gewd! Thanks Matthew!
