Fearless Decorating Moves Make This Basic Condo Feel Like A Home

Fearless Decorating Moves Make This Basic Condo Feel Like A Home

Designer Olivia Botrie of Dart Studio breaks down how she brought this cookie-cutter condo to life with wow-worthy wallpaper and other bold design elements. The homeowner downsized from a large home and her traditional furniture didn’t quite fit the space. See how Olivia made the light-filled apartment family-friendly with a spacious sectional, circular dining table (perfect for casual entertaining) and functional kitchen. You’ll love all of the statement walls in the space, from the scenic print in the entryway to the navy, wood veneer wallpaper in the principal bedroom.

  3. Wendy K on July 20, 2021 at 3:08 am

    What type of flower arrangement was that on the dining table? It was so eyecatching.

  7. Raga Chitkara on July 20, 2021 at 3:13 am

  8. Juan Paulo on July 20, 2021 at 3:16 am

  9. nmbr6kid on July 20, 2021 at 3:16 am

  10. Olga Milla on July 20, 2021 at 3:18 am

    The lean patch clinicopathologically change because susan oddly bore next a thoughtful timpani. evasive, grubby gruesome children

  14. Amanda Loftis on July 20, 2021 at 3:20 am

    Client: I want a focal point for the TV
    Designer: We’ll add a fireplace and hide the TV in the corner!

  15. momokoblue on July 20, 2021 at 3:21 am

    I love the discussion of keeping the cabinet and painting it because there are lots of grandkids and it was a place for displaying family photos…there’s literally one framed photo in the cabinet.lol

  16. J P on July 20, 2021 at 3:22 am

    Wow, how can she talk that fast?

  17. Kiamanawa Tini on July 20, 2021 at 3:22 am

    Beautifully done!

  19. Tone Miller on July 20, 2021 at 3:28 am

    People keep saying how fast she talks, well thats how you speak when you’re passionate. Gorgeous space.

  20. char west on July 20, 2021 at 3:28 am

    downsizing needs lots of storage ideas in a condo — so would have liked to hear more about those solutions?

  21. Carl Vlaeminck on July 20, 2021 at 3:29 am

    Gorgeous transformation. I love how light it is in the living room. Kudos to the designer.

  22. aGuyWhoTypes on July 20, 2021 at 3:29 am

    Why is it so hard to love empty space?

  23. Trish Diggins on July 20, 2021 at 3:30 am

    That front hall – amazing

  24. Jennifer Prevost on July 20, 2021 at 3:31 am

    “That’s where she watches TV and drinks wine every night”. Omg this home owner is my people 😆

  25. christy castro on July 20, 2021 at 3:32 am

  26. 77cns on July 20, 2021 at 3:34 am

    My GOODNESS she speaks so fast!

  27. annabodhi38 on July 20, 2021 at 3:36 am

    All the comments about how fast she talks –> I love how fast she talks. She has something to say and just gets it out. No farting around, lol.

  28. jamal collier on July 20, 2021 at 3:38 am

    i had to slow down the speed

  29. Κωνσταντίνα Μπίκου on July 20, 2021 at 3:39 am

    What is so fearless about the decorating? White and neutral?

  30. Rebel on July 20, 2021 at 3:40 am

    Great Job!

  31. Francis Yawson on July 20, 2021 at 3:41 am

    Seriously, is she on LSD?

  32. mariaj985 on July 20, 2021 at 3:42 am

    Biggest downfall of a condo:
    1. you only own the airspace inside. The hoa owns everything else. (All outside of the building and land)
    2. Hoa dues are very high since the hoa owns and maintains buildings/land. Dues always go up and in CA can go up 20% without a membership vote yearly. (Also depends on number of owners you have. The more you have the more people to divide the expense with.)

    Biggest pro:
    1. First time home buyers who cannot afford a single family home
    2. Hoa owns all outside of building so if something fails (roof etc) the hoa covers it and it’s not out of your pocket.

  39. Roh Dreamer on July 20, 2021 at 3:50 am

    Wow i absolutely love this!!😍😍😍 and the designer is dope🔥

  40. Ruth Johnson on July 20, 2021 at 3:51 am

    Where is the hanging light fixture above the living room from? It’s beautiful, but I don’t think it’s listed in the sources paragraph. Would love to purchase.

  41. PratK on July 20, 2021 at 3:53 am

    Anyone bothered with that huge plant on the dining table. Wouldn’t like to see people on the dining table?

  42. Yagnesh Bhatt on July 20, 2021 at 3:55 am

    Good design, but the speaker spoke very fast to understand a single word and it has nothing to do with passion. If she is a designer then making up a house is her job.

  43. Angie Estrada on July 20, 2021 at 3:56 am

    I would like to know where to purchase the side round table in the bedroom please.

  44. The Chad on July 20, 2021 at 3:57 am

    The TV that’s off center is really bothering me.

  45. dharmainthefalls on July 20, 2021 at 4:00 am

    Can you send me the source link for that sectional sofa??

  46. CadillacG 2614 on July 20, 2021 at 4:00 am

    So I’m late to the party but I LOVE her style👍🏾

  47. Julie Nichols on July 20, 2021 at 4:02 am

    I love it all!!

  48. Tamara on July 20, 2021 at 4:03 am

    Ufff I bought new grey sheets and now after seeing this bed I want to fall asleep in a white bed.

  49. SkaLittle2 on July 20, 2021 at 4:03 am

    I really really love your work and admire the thought you are putting into it. I have to ask, how is it possible for a house to be so neat and tidy after you have done working on the renos, while the family or kids have already settled in? Do you offer cleaning service before shooting? Or the owners do not live there yet until you film the changes? I have seen so many films of yours, congrats on the showings!!!

  50. Kathey Briggs on July 20, 2021 at 4:04 am

    How do you watch the TV way over there in the corner?
