this is exactly the kind of content you should be making, it's so educational, informative, this is exactly what we need! please do more of this, especially with bland/cheap apartments. can you try doing one with very little natural light? that'd be great - anytime I look for inspiration on pinterest I'm like "yeah if I had a living room flooded with light all the time I wouldn't have a hard time decorating it"
Exactly! That's why I roll my eyes when creators like Paige Wassel say in 2024 people should just live in more architecturally interesting buildings. Yes, it's far easier to decorate places like that but not everyone has the means to do so. Styling a "bland" apartment like this takes a lot of skill and I'm so glad someone's teaching us.
I really enjoyed this video, I’ve learned so much. Would love a series of these videos where you use FB Marketplace in different cities? Different areas have different things to offer.
Hi from the east-east side! I saw FB marketplace listings that I have saved (bc I'm the maniac that will drive to Seattle from Tri-Cities for vintage modern :)
@@patriciaeamon1388 to clarify, Noah didn't showcase mine, just saw it as he scrolled through rugs lol. I am with you though, I see things where I am like, "maybe I would drive to Spokane for that" haha
You are amazing! I would definitely watch more videos like this. I love hearing about your thinking process as you choose pieces. The progression - where to start, what next? - is also very informative. More, please.
i started renting my first apartment a few months back. it was completely bare at the start and the idea of decorating it was a bit intimidating, but this video really helped guide me through the process. there’s so many practical advice here - the neutral building blocks, contrasting material and texture, and generally just taking things slow making sure the cohesion is maintained. my apartment is pretty much “done” for now and i’m so happy with it! thanks noah!
would love if you made this a series using different apartments/cities and maybe tried different styles or whatever? this was sooo helpful and interesting to watch!!
Please please make more of these!! I love to see ur thought process and how ur brain works while doing a project. This really shed a light into how to search for furniture ect. Love ur content ❤
I’m laughing a little bc the room reflected in the mirror at 24:51 is looking like the room you’re designing with the white couch and open shelving above it 😂 this was fun, though. I’ve tried Facebook marketplace in my area and all I see is Big Lots furniture, nothing too interesting or vintage. Im hoping I get lucky one day!
Running the curtains across the whole wall is spectacular. And completely applicable to my place, so I sense a project in my near future. Thank you... I think.
Again you gave me so much fun watching the whole combating tedious home vibe challenge. It turns out also so me. Love the insights all the way sourcing the pieces. Please try more of the vibe changing actual practice. Love you!!!
I LOVE everything about this video. That you’re working with a realistic apartment that has fake wood floors and trying to go around that, that you’re using SH furniture and encouraging people to do the same (even for the plant!), that you’re making do with what you find at a given time (which is again very realistic). And of course I also really love the results. It would be awesome if you could do the same for more rooms, different cities, different apartments.
Loved your thought process as you put together this room. Video idea: subscribers submit a photo of a specific part of their living space that they need help on decorating and you comment on what you think will work
You have no idea how hard I’ve been binge watching your content 😂😭 I just got my dream home & almost turned it into the sad beige aesthetic interior with that EXACT flooring until you made me realise how horrible “faux” materials look compared to honest ones. I wish you could help me design my house because I have the ideas but not sure how to put it together 🤦🏽♀️
I love this type of content, but tbh, I learn something from every one of your videos. I'm so grateful you decided to join UA-cam; seriously, keep it up -- I'm renovating and need all the help I can get lol. Also, hello from Kirkland. Thanks for adding to my Facebook marketplace arsenal :)
Listening to you talk through your design process was so insightful and really entertaining! Thanks for the great content Noah, you've become a favourite in my UA-cam rotation.
This was so helpful. I’m constantly shopping on fb marketplace but my home looks like a goodwill store and yours looks like a masterpiece. More of these design-with-me videos please!! You can do different styles while taking us along your design process. Love your channel! Keep it up!
FB marketplace is singlehandedly the BEST thing that has ever happened to my home. I love finding pieces that are unique (and often not what I was originally looking for) while also not contributing to the production of "fast furniture." It feels so good to get really cool things at a ridiculously good price AND keep history out of the landfill. The discovery of my own style came from a lot of thrifting (and listening to Paige Wassel lol). I love that Paige encourages people to work within their budget through thrifting bc there is always going to be some lil old lady who has had the perfect piece for decades and just wants to see it go to a good home.
YES would love more videos like this! But love all your content that you’ve posted so far! Keep up with the great work. PS you mentioned this in your last video, but minimal editing is totally fine on UA-cam!
This was so interesting. Would really love to see you do something similar with a slightly bigger budget. Another interesting idea might be to restrict yourself to designing a room only using new ikea things.
I love how quickly you are growing! The contents of your videos have been so well put and beneficial for the viewer from the start! I think you had about 3K when I started watching and when I saw that I knew you would become much bigger! Keep em coming!!!!
13:15 I followed this advice and just hung my Hay rice paper pendant light I got on FB marketplace for $20 (with cord and all). I love it!!! THANK YOU Noah this video really showed how to use the design concepts in practice in a clear way. The mixing of different materials was a lightbulb moment for me and now I see I've been leaning into wood a little too much lately. On the hunt for a chrome piece now! ;)
i really like hearing your explanations and talk throughs about why and how you choose pieces. my biggest takeaway so far is that interior decorating is a gradual process that builds on itself. i used to approach it with the mindset of picking everything out all at once and making sure it goes together. but watching your process makes me realize that one choice affects the next eg: you looked for a rounder coffee table to offset the square armchair. super interesting, thanks for sharing!
I love your decorating style! I just bought my first apartment, which I will be moving into in October, and watching your videos is giving me so much inspiration!🤩 And (since you asked for it 😉) I would love love love to see what you would do with it, so perhaps I'll be messaging you once about it soon😄 Love from Norway
No wonder your vibe feel familiar! I just moved out of the Eastside/WA state. I absolutely love how the space turned out! It reminds me of Kathleen Kelly's apartment in the "after" photo for some reason, but that's probably how I define "peak cozy." Please keep doing these videos and sharing tips on how to create cozy, collected and thoughtful spaces. You did it so fast and naturally in this video. Side note: Shame on building owners who throw up these buildings so thoughtlessly and quickly, then have the nerve to install not only gray vinyl flooring, but also white appliances and glass pendant lights! I bet the countertops are quartz or laminate to add the cheap/sterile cherry on top! I also watch you videos with a notebook in hand, you're creating the type of content we need.
I really like this kind of video. If you're looking for other types of homes to do I think a huge one for a lot of renters is fully carpeted houses! Especially gray carpet. The padding presents a huge challenge when it comes to rugs because it can cause the rug to kind of buckle and fold under furniture.
I absolutely LOVE this, thank you! Trying to learn more about interior design and having trouble sometimes with huge abstractions (DON't do this, do this, etc.) and seeing someone actually DO it is so refreshing and educational. A few times I gasped -- the chrome and marble side table, ARE YOU SURE?!? -- and learned so much seeing the pieces in context. AMAZING work!! Thank you!! MORE like this PLEASE!
Loveddd this video! I rarely watch interior design videos because I end up feeling overwhelmed. But the way you structure the discussion, the vibe you give off, all of it was perfect. I feel like I already learned so much already. Subscribed!
New subscriber here. Thank you so much for this. I'm moving into my dream home soon and looking for inspiration. Your content is perfect for me. I've been using Marketplace to find unique items so I'm glad I'm on the right track. 😊❤
Loved this content, super super helpful. I am really enjoying your videos, helping a terrible beginner like me build my confidence in designing my home.
Commenting twice! As someone living in a builder grade apartment I LOVE these kind of videos!!! I would love to see what you would do with the rest of the space - how could someone bring life into the bedroom, bathroom, etc? This is crazy useful.
Learned so much about Facebook marketplace from your video. I didn’t even think of looking for ceramics, but thinking about it now why didn’t I think of that? lol, loved this video so much
This looks amazing! I wouldn’t have thought to do that rug or that couch. I do have to say I absolutely snorted when I got jump scared by the chair leaping forward.
I live in Portland OR and I'm on FBM almost everyday looking for furniture to add to my space. I have seen almost all these peices of furniture 😅 great choices. I wish I could get some of the furniture in Seattle. Portland has been dry.
I love this. I don’t live in an apartment like this but I can still use these ideas. I’ve been wanting one of those paper lanterns for a room in my house that has no overhead lighting. One thing I like to use on vintage furniture is a product called restore a finish. You can buy different colors and it refreshes your furniture and kinda buffs out scratches. It’s very easy to use. I bought a vintage wood bed for my daughter’s room for only 125 and I used it and it literally looks amazing.
I wish I had this video when I was living in a very similar apartment. I will ended up with very different layouts and saved tons of money on buying big box furniture
I can't believe I've never thought of searching for handmade ceramics!! Some of my favorite items I own are pieces my friends made in ceramics class. I bet a lot of people are getting rid of stuff they made in class on fb
this is exactly the kind of content you should be making, it's so educational, informative, this is exactly what we need! please do more of this, especially with bland/cheap apartments. can you try doing one with very little natural light? that'd be great - anytime I look for inspiration on pinterest I'm like "yeah if I had a living room flooded with light all the time I wouldn't have a hard time decorating it"
I second this! would love tips on how to decorate a rental that has very few windows (eg, windowless bathroom and windowless living room)
Or one that's stuck with shaggy carpeting throughout or beige walls but working with it and not painting
second this ! would love to see how you decorate a windowless room as well
Exactly! That's why I roll my eyes when creators like Paige Wassel say in 2024 people should just live in more architecturally interesting buildings.

Honestly I have been looking for someone who talks about interior design with actual TASTE for so long omg
Me too omg
if you like this channel, you would probably also like PaigeWassel :)) she is great!
Designing for real life spaces you can afford with furniture you can afford, what a concepttttttt ugh
not me seeing my own listings lol. Hi, from Seattle.
Hi from the east-east side! I saw FB marketplace listings that I have saved (bc I'm the maniac that will drive to Seattle from Tri-Cities for vintage modern :)
@@patriciaeamon1388 to clarify, Noah didn't showcase mine, just saw it as he scrolled through rugs lol. I am with you though, I see things where I am like, "maybe I would drive to Spokane for that" haha
@@saieliza Got it :). I saw a specific rug that I definitely had saved :). Spokane has some great midcentury houses and stuff!
One of my favorite channels ive found in a while. Glad you've been uploading regularly and hope you continue!
I’m with you. It’s hard to find design channels I can vibe with, and I’m so glad I found him.
I agree. Besides great tips, Noah seems to have a grounded and chill personality.
The curtains covering the walls is so key, love that trick
I would love to see this as a series! especially doing different types of rooms (ex. bedrooms, bathrooms, kitchens, etc. )
yeah! i was hoping we would get some decoration/styling in the bedroom off the living room
for me, a hanging shelf above where I sit would give me too much anxiety of stuff falling on me while I sit 🥶
great video, PLEASE make more of these
You are amazing! I would definitely watch more videos like this. I love hearing about your thinking process as you choose pieces. The progression - where to start, what next? - is also very informative. More, please.

I have never heard someone enunciate curtains so hard before 😂
I’m laughing a little bc the room reflected in the mirror at 24:51 is looking like the room you’re designing with the white couch and open shelving above it 😂 this was fun, though. I’ve tried Facebook marketplace in my area and all I see is Big Lots furniture, nothing too interesting or vintage. Im hoping I get lucky one day!
I’ve noticed too and was going to comment the same thing lol
The floor lamp and the coffee table were also similar to the room he was designing
PLEASE do more of these. Perfect video!
All I do at work is scroll Facebook marketplace like it’s my second job haha
The plant definitely pulls the room together.
This is exactly what I needed! Thank you so much it’s so fun. Please make videos like this more!!!
Running the curtains across the whole wall is spectacular. And completely applicable to my place, so I sense a project in my near future. Thank you... I think.
I just finished the curtains and it's such an improvement. Thanks, Noah!
Again you gave me so much fun watching the whole combating tedious home vibe challenge. It turns out also so me. Love the insights all the way sourcing the pieces.
Please try more of the vibe changing actual practice. Love you!!!
This was a super helpful walkthrough and breakdown of consistency and form/function. Would love more videos like this! 🎉❤
Suburban 2000s home, please!! This is your best video yet!
Second this!

Please make more of these! Please consider making a video series where you do this exact thing in different cities, and different countries!
You make it look so easy! I'm learning so much from you and eagerly waiting for more uploads. 👀
You have no idea how hard I’ve been binge watching your content 😂😭 I just got my dream home & almost turned it into the sad beige aesthetic interior with that EXACT flooring until you made me realise how horrible “faux” materials look compared to honest ones.
I wish you could help me design my house because I have the ideas but not sure how to put it together 🤦🏽♀️
This is the most perfect video! I'm moving out soon and am feeling overwhelmed, if only my marketplace finds were as good in a small town!
Yay! Just found your channel two hrs ago and I’ve already watched your whole catalog so this is right on time ☺️
Go to sleep Amanda.

waiting for this to become a series, absolutely LOVED this video
This was so helpful. I’m constantly shopping on fb marketplace but my home looks like a goodwill store and yours looks like a masterpiece. More of these design-with-me videos please!! You can do different styles while taking us along your design process.
Love your channel! Keep it up!
Ha ha. You can gradually change out your goodwill pieces as you find and can afford better things.
@@lillianbarker4292 it’s more that I don’t have the designer eye like he does to even know what to look for or how to style the object
Straight to FB Marketplace this weekend for a look around. This was inspirational. Thanks for doing this.
i love this type of content!! thank you for sharing. your voice is so soothing and i learned so much and got my creative juices flowing :)

Also that chrome mirror is everythingggg. I live in PDX and def thought about buying it but have too many mirrors already lol
A video about wall art (how to choose it, style it etc.) would also be a gem!
YES would love more videos like this! But love all your content that you’ve posted so far! Keep up with the great work. PS you mentioned this in your last video, but minimal editing is totally fine on UA-cam!
What software is used to generate the furniture / space? Also really cool video, would definitely enjoy more like this!
I am wondering the same! Thanks!
It’s probably just photoshop
I love that this channel is both design and also kind of ASMR.
This was so interesting. Would really love to see you do something similar with a slightly bigger budget. Another interesting idea might be to restrict yourself to designing a room only using new ikea things.
58 and live in Australia but still think everything you say is so valuable. Thanks for the excellent content.

You can have a nice sophisticated contemporary style matching classic with midcentury and modern. And choosing a cool palette.
In-video, real-time rendering is so satisfying to watch. Thank you.
Well done! I’m going on FBMP right now to find an art poster, which never occurred to me before.
Great job! Loved hearing your thought process as you chose each item, and how well everything went together in the end.
Yessss, this is AMAZING. You style with SUCH ease, kudos to you. I'm so glad I found your channel. This apartment styling is so unique 🫶🏽😍
I think this is my favorite video of yours!! More please!!! 💘
This is priceless. Love your taste and feel like I’m learning so much... your passion is contagious. Facebook mp should 1000% sponsor this video.
Yours is the only channel that I hit the like button before I even watch it because I just know I will like the video.
This type of video is so incredibly helpful AND fun to watch! Thank you :) Keep it up!

I really truly enjoyed this video!!! Yes more please! What paint color would you choose if you didn’t go white or off white? Much love from 🇩🇴🌴
That was the first thing that popped into my mind, a big rug..excellent!😊❤
Really nice result, and I enjoyed hearing your process.
Loved this sooo much. I've officially torn through all your vids - really enjoying what you're contributing to the youtube sphere!!
i already made this entire channel a new personality trait!! I BEG OF YOU PLEASE DO MORE OF THESE!! i love this video! :)
I'm so into this type of content. It's educational. It's straight to the point. It's real. More please!❤
Facebook marketplace + goodwill = dream home
Definitively do more videos like this one! So much fun to watch it :) xx
24:51 are we going to talk about how the apartment this chrome mirror came from looks exactly like the one you’re designing?!
It does look very similar loll! The floors are better though
Loved this! Please do more! I think I have this style as well, my bedroom is a mixture of chrome and woods.
i loved this !! would love to see one for a house - bedroom / bath / kitchen etc! even backyard would be great :)))
really nice video! + i would love a bedroom styled
I love this video idea. I am def struggling with my grey box condo. Please do more of these!
We need more of these videos !!!

This was such an educational video i learned so much about search keywords and im excited to go through marketplace with some of these finds in mind
This looks amazing! I wouldn’t have thought to do that rug or that couch. I do have to say I absolutely snorted when I got jump scared by the chair leaping forward.
Love this type of video! Also helping with viewers homes sounds like awesome content!
My favourite new channel!
LOVED the video! Would watch as many of these as you want!😊
I live in Portland OR and I'm on FBM almost everyday looking for furniture to add to my space. I have seen almost all these peices of furniture 😅 great choices. I wish I could get some of the furniture in Seattle. Portland has been dry.
Agree Portland is dry
I am in central FL and strangely, very nice furniture is everywhere and almost free. I wonder why the big difference.
this was an awesome video! (the way you kept saying curTENs was cracking me up haha)
This was a really fun exercise, more of this! ty!!
I love this. I don’t live in an apartment like this but I can still use these ideas. I’ve been wanting one of those paper lanterns for a room in my house that has no overhead lighting. One thing I like to use on vintage furniture is a product called restore a finish. You can buy different colors and it refreshes your furniture and kinda buffs out scratches. It’s very easy to use. I bought a vintage wood bed for my daughter’s room for only 125 and I used it and it literally looks amazing.
Hello from Paris, finding your channel really made my day :) Thank you so much !
I wish I had this video when I was living in a very similar apartment. I will ended up with very different layouts and saved tons of money on buying big box furniture
Literally amazing!! Manifesting that I can get my next apartment to look this good
I can't believe I've never thought of searching for handmade ceramics!! Some of my favorite items I own are pieces my friends made in ceramics class. I bet a lot of people are getting rid of stuff they made in class on fb
Great video! Had no idea there were so many gems on marketplace
I learned so much! Thank you! 🧚
OK WAIT obsessed with you
