Hide loose cables
Dying to know where you got the bench at 0:52. Looks amazing but it wasn’t in the description and I can’t find it anywhere 🙁
great video! thoughtful content and appreciate the quality production! also want to point out that i really appreciate that you included your sources for all of the design photos you included in your video! you’ve gotten yourself a new subscriber 🙂
Great video. Informative, interesting and , oddly, calming.
make more money and just go get a bigger place…
1 tip. Have less stuff. Period.
Every single time I watch one of your videos, I walk away with one or more excellent tips I hadn’t thought of previously…no exception with this one….keep ’em coming Reynard !!!
This is amazing 🥰🥰🥰🥰.
¿Sueñas con tu propia casa particular, pero una gran casa de campo no está en tus planes? Necesitarás algunos conocimientos de zonificación y división del espacio para dar vida a un proyecto así, por eso te recomiendo la aplicación de diseño de interiores, Planner 5D
What brand is that round dining table? 🙂
I would love to see a video of you showing all your lamps and where you got them from🤩 It looks amazing
As someone who kept moving everything around for years in my entire flat before finding a configuration that felt right, i say: don’t hesitate to put your shelves, sofa(s), tables, rugs, plants… in weird places. It won’t work most of the time, but for all the times it will you might stumble on something that fits you perfectly and sets the tone of a room. (And then you’ll find a new armchair and have to move it all again; that’s the game ;b )
I just love your vibe – you’re like meditative in nature – thank you for that The content of this video- out of this world ❤️
oh, the pic at 2:38 almost gave me a panic attack!
Next: Make a big place look smaller…

I struggled finding a small sofa with legs that transformed into a bed so now I have a convertible sofa that’s too big and very low to the floor but at least it’s multifunctional 😅
You are a God amongst men
Hello about the wall colors. I’m planning to put on the left side of my room a landscape black and white forest wallpaper about 5m length and 2m height and on the opposite side is a large wall mirror. Does that mean it will narrow the room?
great tips thank you : )
Hi Reynard, just taught myself interior design for homes, how do you suggest I start out? Through ytube, creating a website? Your leadership would be very much appreciated🙏
I really love the concept of space management and your video is worth taking inspiration from!!! ❤️❤️
I live in a very small condo. Not a fan of white walls. Too stark. I have a lovely palette of pale pastels. They are calming and soothing and happy. The quality of natural light is an important consideration: what direction is your window facing?
Noticed that many contemporary interior designers use predominantly white colors. Without warm-coloured furnishings, I’ve always found such an aesthetic clinical and soulless, like a hospital. Would far prefer pastels instead. This video has some other great tips, though.
can you tell me where to get the floor lamp that you have in your background? Thanks.
Wonderful
What storage/bench is being featured at 0:51? Looking to have something similar!
I actually practice that something new comes in something old goes out . That stops the clutter from getting a big mess. Plus it stops me from becoming a hoarder.
Landfills are the worst places for useful items to end up. Please donate to charity shops.instead of trashing stuff.
What do call to that convertible table
As someone who is redecorating a small home I found these tips to be very effective. Thank you.
I live in a small space, no kids, and storage is something I have come to deeply question. With the exception of seasonal necessities like winter coats and blankets (and decorations), I think any possession which needs to be ‘stored’ should be questioned as to its value. How often is it used? Is it wasting space ‘being stored’ that could be utilised for something else?
Nice tips!
Your videos are incredibly well done. I watch a lot of decorating tip channels but yours is probably the best out there.
One of my favorite channels! Thanks a lot for awesome tips & tricks!
Your prosody is strange and distracting.
No art?
yes mirrors really open up the space.
I used to be a china girl weak and smol. After watching this it motivate me to be fit and strong. Now I am transgender 345lbs muskle athlete.
I hate white( only doors and ceilings)
I really love the way you make all your videos
I just found your channel. Excellent. I just subscribed 👍
Great video! Thanks♡
the multi functional furniture is so ugly and very very cheap looking, NO THANK YOU!
Wish I’ve watched this sooner! I regret getting curtains for my small windows now! Blinds would be so much better!
I liked your calmness and relaxation. Thanks!
Where can I get these wooden chairs?
…I’m one of those who thinks that minimalism has several levels that go from basic minimalism to the extreme, in which it’s all about simplifying even the most recondite square centimeter. Using multifunctional furniture is a way to simplify everything, because in many cases you don’t need to have three pieces of furniture but one or two (for example, sleeping on a sofa bed that you can use during the day as a seat and during the day as a bed, and so on). I’m not a big fan of multifunctional furniture but I recognize the high utility that they can mean. My current sofa is a Togo sofa from Manhattan Home Design, and although it isn’t as multifunctional as other models, it still seems quite minimalist to me. Thanks for all these tips!
I live in a small apartment and I selected a wallpaper that was just a bit darker than the white ceiling, that made the room look a bit taller, I also left a thin white line between the ceiling and the wallpaper, that made the corners to look a bit softer, so at 4:38 I miss the darker walls with a ‘white’ line at the top to raise and expand the ceiling.
Great tips btw, and good video.
