This video is part 1 of my balcony makeover, where I’ll be tackling the main living room balcony.

What was previously an under-utilised and neglected balcony, has now been transformed into a functional and welcoming space that serves as an extension to our living room.

Ever since I completed the balcony, I’ve found myself spending more time on the balcony to escape the busyness of everyday life, or to get some light work done in a different environment outside the office.

    Do those pots have draining holes for your beautiful Cactus plants?

  4. Toñi Baena on February 3, 2023 at 6:33 am

    It looks amazing! You have such a good taste, & also make everything so easy. 🤗🤗☯️🍁😍

  5. Li Becky on February 3, 2023 at 6:34 am

    May I know if there’s any rain water collection underneath the floor decking? Thanks 🙏🏼

  6. SFZombie247 on February 3, 2023 at 6:36 am

    Awesome great taste 👍

  7. z on February 3, 2023 at 6:36 am

    Wow soo pretty 🤩

  8. Clinton on February 3, 2023 at 6:37 am

    Amazing work man! Can we expect another home tour for 2022? You’ve made such huge changes to your apartment

  9. NARGIZA ORZU on February 3, 2023 at 6:40 am

    Inspiring 🤩 love that bistro table and chairs, where are they from?

  10. sunny talreja on February 3, 2023 at 6:41 am

    Interlocking tiles: How did you manage corners. Did u cut the tiles or put some other product…

  11. MacJosie's Family on February 3, 2023 at 6:41 am

    I loved watching. Thanks for sharing

  12. karebearcurry on February 3, 2023 at 6:42 am

    Hey Reynard! How do you maintain the space considering the rain and dust/dirt? Wondering how the furniture and the grass tiles hold up over time!

  13. mobile gaming thing on February 3, 2023 at 6:43 am

    Love it

  14. Sakairi on February 3, 2023 at 6:45 am

    love this nigga mane, inspired to make my apartment similar to his, now I’m happier and more motivated to work and move around in my own home

  15. Vicky Chow on February 3, 2023 at 6:45 am

    Thanks for the video, any tips about the rain on furniture and decking? It’s great that you have the hose right there but that’s my issue on maintaining the balcony. It’s inspiring to see your balcony come to life, enjoy it!

  16. JC on February 3, 2023 at 6:48 am

    Love your videos! Did you do one for the Zen garden?

  17. Tom Long on February 3, 2023 at 6:48 am

    What program/site do you use to put your mood boards together? I’m moving into a new space soon and would love to use it to piece together my ideas!

  18. Saloni on February 3, 2023 at 6:48 am

    I love the way you show step by step process and it’s so much easier for anyone to follow your steps.
    Thank you so much

  19. Brodie Booth on February 3, 2023 at 6:49 am

    Love those table and chairs! Can I ask where they are from?

  20. Daru Dhillon on February 3, 2023 at 6:51 am

    Love your style Reynard! Beautiful makeover and your videos are so enjoyable to watch!

  21. Virginie Letertre on February 3, 2023 at 6:53 am

    You really have nice design and know where and how to use inspiration to have it like you want. Is there any space in your place that is not beautiful and well designed.

  22. Lingxiao Cheng on February 3, 2023 at 6:54 am

    Awesome studio setup. What are the two different heights of the ivar shelves you went with? Thanks.

  23. Igaluit Channel on February 3, 2023 at 6:55 am

    I’m not sure why it’s become a fad to run lighting on balconies – from all the videos I’ve looked at. Moreover, like wind chimes, it must be annoying for the neighbours.

  24. Hanbi You on February 3, 2023 at 6:57 am

    I’ll be moving to my new apartment in western Sydney soon and it looks similar to yours! I’ll be implementing lots of your cool ideas ~~

  25. Warrier Suma World on February 3, 2023 at 6:58 am

    Wow so Amazing 👌. very neat and clean. Furniture design is so good. Good morning 🙏 simple and elegant look.

  26. Krystle Morehu on February 3, 2023 at 6:58 am

    I look forward to your beautifully edited and thought out videos each week. One of my favourites, so relaxing and such a bingeworthy channel.

  27. CHESTER on February 3, 2023 at 7:01 am

    Türkiye altyazı yaparsanız çok sevinirim takip ediyorum sizi ama hiç bişey anlamıyorum

  28. Chani _ on February 3, 2023 at 7:01 am

    I love your balcony ! I want the same now for watch the sunset and breath the fresh summer air.

  29. Celeste Fernandez on February 3, 2023 at 7:03 am

    Hi! what brand of vacuum cleaner is it?

  30. abu sakeenah | ابو سكينة on February 3, 2023 at 7:04 am

    This is a place for me to relax and admire !

  31. Di on February 3, 2023 at 7:05 am

    Nicely done. Like the sofa where you can stretch out on and not be limited to an end arm.

  32. Casandra Walker on February 3, 2023 at 7:06 am

    This was so beautiful. Your voice is super soothing too! Thank you for sharing.

  33. Leena Thayil on February 3, 2023 at 7:07 am

    Great video Reynard! Could you please do one specifically on all your electronic items that you own and use? Also, any connectivity between devices like Alexa, google home, ways to turn devices on/off manually and/or remotely. I’m thinking of reducing the number of devices that I own and use. I’m wondering what are the essential devices that a person and a home needs. Please include your devices like laptop, tablet, etc and how do you make them work seamlessly with other devices. Thank you! 🙂

  34. DayvBoy on February 3, 2023 at 7:08 am

    Are the grass tiles easy to cut for size adjustments

  35. Liam Mcgill Smith on February 3, 2023 at 7:10 am

    Awesome stuff mate. Great view of Sydney. I get to see it myself from Bowen Mountain on a clear day. 😁

    PS. The fitting that’s under your hose is the natural gas for barbecues.

  36. Christopher Cheng on February 3, 2023 at 7:13 am

    兄弟 刮風了燈泡不會碎嗎

  37. Maggie George on February 3, 2023 at 7:14 am

    Lovely!

  38. Anthea Zhuang on February 3, 2023 at 7:16 am

    I like before

  39. Fernando on February 3, 2023 at 7:19 am

    I love how you decorate your space.

  40. hind Alfalahi on February 3, 2023 at 7:19 am

    greetings from Frankfurt Germany , I really like your chanel and wish you did more often videos , luck you you now have summer

  41. TalkTopTime on February 3, 2023 at 7:20 am

    im recommend you to take nightview

  42. Aunt Bee on February 3, 2023 at 7:21 am

    Everything is beautiful but the black wire from the lights looks messy. I would just end the wires at the end of the balcony rail instead of going up the second wall. I love those new pots and plants, you might want to put real plants in the pots on the shelves.

  43. Work Life Balance | Kimwell H on February 3, 2023 at 7:22 am

    very nice one

  44. Charity Nguyen on February 3, 2023 at 7:23 am

    Let’s have a tour in 2022 with all the renovations been made last year, gonna be lit 🔥

  45. Maria Martinez on February 3, 2023 at 7:24 am

    Espectacular!!! Gracias ☺️

  46. Anna Nguyen on February 3, 2023 at 7:24 am

    How do you organize all the gardening tools, soil, pots etc?

  47. Amanda Johnson on February 3, 2023 at 7:25 am

    Beautiful makeover with a stunning view. You talked about leaving the door open, are flies a problem in Australia?

  48. Loraine Rivera on February 3, 2023 at 7:27 am

    Your voice is so relaxing

  49. deewaipio on February 3, 2023 at 7:28 am

    I can only imagine once you find a home of your own on what it would look like…see you soon!

  50. Enchik on February 3, 2023 at 7:30 am
