Interior Design — A Guy's Budget Bedroom Makeover In A Small Rental Apartment

Designer Natalie Chong shares how she created a handsome, cozy bedroom for her brother-in-law on a $2,000 budget. Watch the small rental space come to life with paint, hardworking furniture and layers of texture. Plus, get her tips for painting a statement wall!

The original space was bare, with crooked blinds and zero personality. Natalie started by bringing in pieces that would maximize storage, including a bed frame with drawers. To warm up the space, she swapped out the blinds for drapes and brought in texture through the duvet cover and pillows. The wall behind the bed was painted a statement-making dark green to complement the plaid bedding. Natalie used floating side tables to keep the space open.

  8. Alexander Bush on May 8, 2021 at 3:27 am

    Don’t want to be a hater but I don’t think lumberjacks live in an apartment that looks like that LOL

  9. Wyane Bayona on May 8, 2021 at 3:28 am

    Wow! Amazing 😲

  10. Sharfaa Kassiem Puma on May 8, 2021 at 3:31 am

    I absolutely LOVE this designer. Her previous girly spaces rock!!! Seriously incredible work.

  11. supasye on May 8, 2021 at 3:33 am

    Where can i find more of her work?

  12. marco lopez on May 8, 2021 at 3:34 am

    very nice. Whats the size of the bedroom? I have an 18 year old kid with a 10×11 bedroom that has a small space in the window where I can put a reading nook or something with drawers under for storage? He has a queen bed inside that little room and was thinking about getting him a twin xl or maybe a full size so he can have more room in there and maybe put a small desk so he can do homework?

  13. Brandon Dillon on May 8, 2021 at 3:35 am

    lmaooo they said “Budget” makeover then casually drop $2,000
    They must be drunk

  14. Eduardo Viajero on May 8, 2021 at 3:36 am

    the only cool was the Bed and the comfortable pillows. Nothing impressive.

  15. Piyush Shekokar on May 8, 2021 at 3:36 am

    Why does she sound like Selena Gomez

  16. Steven Laput on May 8, 2021 at 3:37 am

    Amazing bedroom!…..

  17. Make racists afraid Again on May 8, 2021 at 3:38 am

    A man would sleep on cardboard box if he is not bothered by a woman.

  18. Edgar Sanchez on May 8, 2021 at 3:38 am

    I heard $200.. so i rewinded and she said $2k.. bruh

  19. Nghaka on May 8, 2021 at 3:40 am

    U.S of A.. great economy, Exchange rate is even better!
    $2,000(usd) is equal to ₹1,53,060(inr)
    Take that for a room renovation budget!
    It’s not small at all!
    when it’s USD.. it’s not much?
    is that the case? or Is everything expensive there?😌

  20. Kellastico on May 8, 2021 at 3:41 am

    LOL typical sister, sounds just like mine. But we love em regardless

  21. Drew Yang on May 8, 2021 at 3:41 am

    Is it possible to do an accent wall on a wall that has texture?

  22. Neo on May 8, 2021 at 3:43 am

    $2,000 for a tiny bedroom budget is like having a $250 budget for a carwash. I would have spend $5 on navy paint for the back wall and $1,995 on a flat screen TV I can take to my next apartment.

  23. Candis on May 8, 2021 at 3:43 am

    I’m confused. She just called Justin her brother-in-law (0:13), but then Natalie says "If there’s any hope for my future sister-in-law, this is not happening."(0:38) Huh??? Who is Justin??? Who is Natalie related to that benefits from this interior upgrade? This is not making any sense at all!!

  24. a e s t h e t i c s on May 8, 2021 at 3:44 am

    Where could I get the duvet cover (or a similar one)? Is it available on Amazon?

  25. Joey Yelverton on May 8, 2021 at 3:45 am

  34. The Red Willow on May 8, 2021 at 3:58 am

    Why are men’s rooms always styled so dark and minimalist? Feels so oppressive.

  35. Thomas Farrugia on May 8, 2021 at 4:02 am

  39. Ryan James on May 8, 2021 at 4:05 am

    Lol this is disgusting. $2000 just for looks. How about you try to be realistic… $500 is max budget.

  40. FacelessMan on May 8, 2021 at 4:07 am

    ID on the light?

  41. Lance Lucas on May 8, 2021 at 4:08 am

    I have never lived in an apartment where they allowed me to paint the walls. Am I just living in the wrong places?
