Cost To Furnish An Apartment + 6 Budget Saving Tips (IKEA | DIY | Designer Brand)

Furnishing an empty home or apartment can be a really costly task, with no guarantee of achieving a cohesive look. However, with some planning and a little patience, it is possible to achieve more, even with a tight budget.

In this video, I’m going to give you an overview of how much I spent to furnish my apartment, and some tips to work on a budget while still getting the pieces you want. I will go through each pieces in every room of the house, where I got them, and for how much.

    Fantastic video, can you please make a video on how to make your space look cohesive? When I shop I buy an item that looks good in the store but when placing it at my home, it just doesn’t gel well and at the end of the day it looks like a space that has different things of different sizes and colors together without any cohesiveness and flow.

  2. Justin Hairston on November 2, 2022 at 8:16 am

    I love how in depth and creative your videos are so much so that I’m using some of your ideas for my place. You definitely deserve more subscribers!!!

    This presenter has such a calming voice.

  8. صالح المحروقي on November 2, 2022 at 8:24 am

    What is the color code for your apartment wall paint and from which company?

  9. ThatBigCactus on November 2, 2022 at 8:27 am

    Nice but that couch will peel so quickly. Low price – buy it twice

  10. Justawin_x on November 2, 2022 at 8:28 am

    I really want to know more about your headboard. Where did you buy it? And also your light behind it, please. 😬

  11. supriya shenoy on November 2, 2022 at 8:28 am

    Great video. You have a great eye for lamps/ lights.

  12. Sharon on November 2, 2022 at 8:29 am

    Very

  13. Steve J Sumba on November 2, 2022 at 8:30 am

    Can you make a video on how that desk is set up

  14. Clinton on November 2, 2022 at 8:30 am

    Hello Reynard, I know this is a big ask, but pleeeease could you do an updated version of this video seeing as a lot of things about your home has changed i.e The Living Room renovations et al

  15. Luke W on November 2, 2022 at 8:32 am

    Am I the only one who was shocked at the price of bins the first time I had to buy one? Even the relatively cheap ones aren’t actually that cheap!

  16. William Clark on November 2, 2022 at 8:32 am

    I have a similar decorating style. I love that you have plants in your space.

  17. Safaa on November 2, 2022 at 8:33 am

    Some of the things are really expensive 😅 70$ for a little "fake" drawer is way too much. Same thing for the 20$ hanger

  18. Penny_R B on November 2, 2022 at 8:42 am

    Excellent job with smart choices for the best bang for your buck!

  19. kah wai lee on November 2, 2022 at 8:43 am

  20. Danielle V on November 2, 2022 at 8:43 am

    Great take always! Slowly curating to make my place “our home.”

    Would love to know how you put together the headboard! It’s gorgeous!

  23. Bhavneet K on November 2, 2022 at 8:47 am

    Would love to see a video on how you made the headboard! It looks AMAZING! Super chic and classy

  24. Kyria PJ on November 2, 2022 at 8:48 am

    So glad you mentioned that it was achieved over several months 🙂 Great video!

  25. Elizabeth Rose on November 2, 2022 at 8:49 am

    Did you anchor your IKEA bissa cabinets to the wall?

  26. JC S on November 2, 2022 at 8:49 am

    I think I have expressed this before, a few months ago or so. This video presentation and narrative has been produced so well.

  27. Barry Lester on November 2, 2022 at 8:50 am

    I got a similar key bowl from a sushi restaurant I frequent for free. Ikea has some amazing potpourri and I put them in the bowl as well. also that tv stand is quite interesting.

  28. jalika tunkara on November 2, 2022 at 8:52 am

    Midway through watching I realised its Australian dollars
    You did really good actually!

  29. Rose R on November 2, 2022 at 8:53 am

    Do you do online consultations?

  30. KKG C on November 2, 2022 at 8:55 am

    Hey bro, i just got an apartment in sydney too (sadly no CBD view …) I found your channel super helpful, thanks for sharing!

  31. Khang on November 2, 2022 at 8:57 am

    Please do a video on the headboard! Question, how do you find such good furniture on gumtree/Facebook? There’s always so many items listed for each type of furniture

  32. MJM on November 2, 2022 at 8:57 am

    How do you go about fixing your hooks, hangers and mirrors to the wall without any issues with real estate agents? Any tips there?

  36. TechTweek on November 2, 2022 at 9:00 am

    I love the way you describe everything. Such a calming video. Great Work Man. Keep uploading more videos. God Bless You.

  37. Candy Cane on November 2, 2022 at 9:00 am

    Omg his voice is so soothing 🥹

  38. Rich Rich on November 2, 2022 at 9:01 am

    How about the black arm chair in your living room?

  39. Jessica Jessica on November 2, 2022 at 9:02 am

    Thanks for your transparency. I find the cost to be high considering that it is all ikea or second hand and that may be because there’s too many things.
    For example the entryway 0:45 There is a console on the left side of the screen with some deco items, frames and a table lamp. There also is another lamp right by the door + another piece of furniture, some deco items and a plant. So it looks like you cannot fully open the door. Also you have a generously decorated home office in your spare room + another desk in your bedroom where you have to squeeze a little bit between the desk and the bed to move across the room. I don’t know how often you’d use this second desk.
    Of course you can afford it (I am definitely not investing $180 in a trash can😀) but I understand from the video that you are also giving money-saving tips. The moment you have to move out is generally when you realize how much stuff you accumulated.
    So first thing I like to ask myself now is if a purchase is necessary rather than if I can afford it.

    Lining up for that headboard DIY video

  41. Robert Adamson on November 2, 2022 at 9:07 am

    Thanks for sharing your insight on interior design. I love that you have endorsed the philosophy of buying unique pieces that you love when they are on sale or even second hand, and that one doesn’t have to buy an entire set of furniture for the look to be cohesive. Black, white, & natural wood as major design elements keep the decor modern and calming. I could be sooo comfortable in an apartment the way you’ve designed yours. Please do a video on how you made your headboard. I love it! Especially the backlighting 👍🏻😊

  42. Thao Thu Nguyen on November 2, 2022 at 9:09 am

    Thiss iss so amazing!!!! May I ask how did you hang the mirror on the wall if u re renting? Thanks so much !!!

  43. Asaf Arvizu on November 2, 2022 at 9:09 am

    So you don’t have a bathroom?

  44. Ren Carbillon on November 2, 2022 at 9:10 am

    May I know what is the size of you frames on top of your sofa?

  45. david opitz on November 2, 2022 at 9:10 am

    this shit is so unrealistic and overpriced im sorry for anyone that follows your advice

  46. Domas Sakalauskas on November 2, 2022 at 9:12 am

    Beautiful place and nicely put together. Kudos for the work. Your videos are very relaxing to watch btw. One thing tho. In a video you’ve mentioned that you’re renting this joint. So all these pieces, furniture and everything you’ve bough once you decide to get your own place (I’m assuming) would you take it with you or sell it to current landlord? How does that work? Cause at the minute it seems that you’ve put so much effort and love in a place that’s still a rental?

  47. Janice Taylor on November 2, 2022 at 9:14 am

    I almost lost you to the internet 😭 my boyfriend only found you because he remembered you lived in Sydney! I am now subscribed! Not worth losing, we’re both too messy not to need you 😂

  48. Samuel Alake on November 2, 2022 at 9:14 am

    The Cosh lamp is not delivered outside of Australia 😢

  49. Rick Clarke on November 2, 2022 at 9:14 am

    Great video – would love to see more about how the headboard was made 🙂

  50. Ahmed Al-Sagheer on November 2, 2022 at 9:14 am

    Totally awesome video full of well-organizaed info. Thanks for this one. It was so relaxing to watch this video hearing your voice-over too 🙂
