Note to anyone doing this: swap the hardware of your apartment but take pictures before you make the change and label everything so you're landlord can't say something is missing or it's changed when u swap them back
Yepppp I made the mistake of not doing this…I’m also very ADHD…so I obviously procrastinated when it came time to moving and it was total chaos until I just collapsed and gave up haha. I had enough on the “luxury apartment” (I DID manage to take pictures of the several times they allowed security to be overlooked while people were getting cars stolen, took pictures of a giant hold in bathroom closet that was likely mold and I have mold illness on top of other things haha so ANYWAYS I basically documented every time they were super lazy (happened after management changed, as always) yet didn’t think to take pics of the dang hardware etc….BUT my spy skills got me my security deposit back anyways! Haha. That story could have been told in two short sentences but…ADHD
True. It reminds me of when I rented an apartment, back in 2000, that had some scratched walls and detailings. I took photos right away and gave physical copies to the rental company. When I left, years later, they tried to make me pay for an expensive reno and I just made them check the pictures. Phew, I patted my backs for being smart lol
His attention to details is making my OC-self happy. Imagine being bothered by a small door stopper because it doesn't match the whole matte black aesthetics. UGH, I LOVE IT! LOL
Your videos are SO relaxing to watch, but also give all of the content I want to see most! Often times interior videos feel stressful and give me anxiety-but yours are like a combo of ASMR and the best info and ideas all in one! Thanks for the wonderful content you create :) And this space is an absolute DREAM!
Very neat, i feel so cool his home and decoration, the color and also his kitchen my children like him too how he design it to his home. Very matching the color..
Great video as always! I bought two of the Bissa shoe cabinets after seeing them in a previous video and I love them! They are great to keep shoes organized and reduce visual clutter. I like how you share such simple ways to make a rental your own. Will be looking for black hardware for my cabinets as it really elevates the look. TFS!
Love how you've really uplifted the small space! How were you able to secure the bissa shoe cabinet to the wall without drilling any holes into the walls behind it? Great content!
Thanks Alexander! The answer to that will be quite lengthy, I don't think it is as black and white as is often portrayed 😅 In short, I do practice minimalism in my life, but definitely not to the extent as someone like Joshua & Ryan from The Minimalists or Matt D'Avella. There is also another point that is often interchangeable; minimalism in design and lifestyle, I think they are two very different thing. Having said that, both adopt the concept of 'less is more', which I think is something we can all benefit from. I don't think there is any right or wrong here, and definitely not a competition on who owns the least amount of stuff.

ME ACABO DE SUSCRIBIR, MIRE TU CANAL POR PRIMERA VEZ Y EL VIDEO ME PARECIÓ MÁS QUE EXELENTE. NO HABLO NI ENTIENDO EL INGLES PERO ME GUSTÓ, DIME POR FAVOR DONDE COMPRASTE LOS OBJETOS QUE PUSISTE EN TU CASA. UN SALUDO DESDE ECUADOR. BENDICIONES PARA TI.
Thats Emily!!! :D You have great ideas, I wish I was that put together. I love how you keep moving around the hall using everything to show ease of usage. When I get time I wanna see more of your videos but its near 11pm, I need rest, Thanks for all the info, love how things are open yet put away and accessible :)
Great video 😊 I really have an awkwardly shaped hallway with 5,5 doors including the entry door. So almost no wall to put furniture at... So far, there's only a smal night table for putting down keys and purse and a shoe shelf that's fitting just about next to the opened front door. I think it's 6 m² and I'm really lost about how to make it comfy and welcoming 😔
Hey much love from India💗 I wanted a tip. The base color of my 3 bedroom apartment is white. How do I introduce other colors or neutrals in each room so that each have a unique personality? I'd appreciate if you could suggest some soothing colors.. to tie up the entire space. Thanks in advance. ❤️🙏
Thanks! You're in luck if you have a white base since anything can go well. I'd suggest going to Pinterest or Houzz and start pinning/saving pictures. Slowly you'll see a pattern on what colors or decor you like.

I’m curious about the coat hanger attached to the wall with command strips. I’ve had bad experiences with command hooks and strips, they often fall in the middle of the night and wake me up. Do you actually calculate the weight of every jacket you hang on this device.
I know this is an old video, but hoping for a response! I know a lot of the shoe cabinets require wall mounting, whats your recommendation for this to be renter friendly?
Great job Reynard, it looks wonderful and as always a beautiful relaxing and inspiring video. Your landlord is very fortunate to have tenants who take such great care of their apartment. 🙂👍🏻 Warm wishes from U.K. 🇬🇧
Hi from the states! Ohmygoodness your voice and the video montages are so relaxing! I’m wondering if you and other roommates store shoes in closets too? Also, do you have to clean the shoe caddy a lot? We live in a rainy area.
Thanks for the vid. Love the colour aesthetic and it's rental friendly which is great! Any tips on how to hang wall art/frames without damaging the wall of a rental unit?
It's nice but I can never understand the effort to make a rental look nice. The potential trouble with the landlord, or house mates fucking it up, not to mention having to replace everything on top of packing during moving just isn't worth it. Better to save the money, and get a permanent home to deco your heart out.
First time watching your video. I like your voice and the music background. I like your style, stylish , comfortable but not loud. Amazed by how you used a black tape to do little matching. One question, most people use screws to fix the handle of the shoes cabinet but you used glue. Why? Does it durable? May be your cabinet inside isn’t full. My shoes are heavy. A bit worry.
Thanks! If you're unsure better to use screw. I did screw custom knobs on IKEA cabinets in my most recent living room makeover video. For this one it's pretty lightweight so I simply use glue as it is faster and easier.

Swapping the bench made a huge difference!
Yes it does!

Your voice is calming, you need to do some voice overs. I’d fall asleep just listening to you 😊

He has some good ideas but the book with a lamp and plant on top of a cushioned bench?
I love how simple and will throughout his home is
I always admire how he does his things...keep it up
I enjoy watching your videos. It’s amazing how you put pieces together. This is so soothing to watch after a hard day.
watching your video gives me a sense of peace and calm . I dnt know why.

Love this video! And for highlighting the lack of attention to the entryway. My entryway sure is a mess, and I'm so inspired to revamp it today!
Very neat, i feel so cool his home and decoration, the color and also his kitchen my children like him too how he design it to his home. Very matching the color..
You have great taste and a wonderful aesthetic sense. Always enjoyed your videos. Keep it up!

You’re sooo smart for using the electrical tape.
Those hooks are lovely. That mushroom light, is amazing!
Yes, I really like that lamp, too.
Love how you've really uplifted the small space! How were you able to secure the bissa shoe cabinet to the wall without drilling any holes into the walls behind it? Great content!
Love the ambient lighting. It’s so relaxing! Great job!
Very useful video!✨ Reynard let me ask you a question. How do you feel about minimalism and are you a minimalist?
Thanks Alexander! The answer to that will be quite lengthy, I don't think it is as black and white as is often portrayed 😅

Reynard thanks for the detailed answer! 🙏🏻♥ ️
Your attention to details...you're the best! Love your videos! Love your apartment!
Great video, love the music and calming narration. You could also spray paint the hardware a nice flat black for a cheap fix.
Onw of the best design videos on UA-cam to date.
Great design info presented with an ASMR voiceover to lo-fi music 👍
Your calming voice is soo soothing.

Recently discovered your channel and absolutely love it mate, keep up the great work!!! Thank you!
Fantástico! Ótima ideia
Parabéns pelo trabalho.
Reynard, your videos are great. Thank you for sharing such useful and straight forward videos. They are wonderful!
Just perfect!!!!!! I loved it ❤🇨🇦❤....how about adding a runner with little bit of color in your entrance? Just a suggestion.....🤗
Alright, I'm taking out some black tape now..didn't even think of these places!
Thank you for all the amazing advice!! You teach me so much, and just, THANK YOU, thank you so much. Lovely interior.
You are amazing , everything about your design is impressive love from South Africa ❤
Thank You!! 😊
Your videos are so relaxing! Thank you
Hello, the Bissa shoe cabinet, did you attached/drill it onto the wall? where did you gets your lamps?
I feel like I learned SO MUCH!!!
I like your decorating skills.
Great video 😊
I really have an awkwardly shaped hallway with 5,5 doors including the entry door. So almost no wall to put furniture at...
So far, there's only a smal night table for putting down keys and purse and a shoe shelf that's fitting just about next to the opened front door.
I think it's 6 m² and I'm really lost about how to make it comfy and welcoming 😔
I love the new bench but where can I buy it?
Beautiful transformation!
So sleek! Gorgeous 😍
Very nice. I am wondering why you don't have a mat or carpet runner to wipe your shoes or winter boots before you take them off.
Lovely enjoyable video, Reynard. This clean calm style suits many cultures. Clever use of black duct tape too. :-))
Thanks Mary!

@@reynardlowell Thanks for your suggestions ❤️ much love from India..
Great video. I am about to sell my house and get an apartment so this was helpful. Quick question- where did you get your slippers?
Thanks! The grey ones for around the home is from Uniqlo. The black one is from pedro shoes.

Simply beautiful! Love it!!
Love the shoe bench!
Wow! Nice videographic ! Where did you learn your skills? Any recommendations ? Thanks!
Absolutely stunning!!!
Nice VDO, your voice is so smooth
Hi from southamerica. I love it your rutine videos.
Looks great, very nice attention to detail, how wide is your hallway?
Hi from the states! Ohmygoodness your voice and the video montages are so relaxing! I’m wondering if you and other roommates store shoes in closets too? Also, do you have to clean the shoe caddy a lot? We live in a rainy area.
Thanks for the vid. Love the colour aesthetic and it's rental friendly which is great! Any tips on how to hang wall art/frames without damaging the wall of a rental unit?
Thanks! Definitely with the command strips I linked in the description, they are great for hanging things on the wall.
Always enjoy your videos. Congratulations!
This would have come in handy 24 hours ago 🤦♀️ still loved the video
Are the ikea shoe storage fixed to the wall?
It doesn't have to be, although highly recommended if there's kids or pets running around.
This channel is so good
love the way you carefully look in to each and every simple detail... thnx for sharing
Thanks for watching!
Hi. Thank you for sharing. Where did you buy your wall art or paintings?
Would be interesting to see how you deal with all of this if you had a family with kids ...
:-D My mama said you just accept that your house will be messy for the next 20 years!
It's nice but I can never understand the effort to make a rental look nice.

Better to save the money, and get a permanent home to deco your heart out.
Yes I have a question.. where is the kitchen? What about the bedroom? The whole layout of your place ?
Great job! You can come be my roommate anytime!
Great video did you secure the shoe cabinets to the wall ?
Incredible video as always! Love your channel and you've grown so much since I found you at 1k!😁
Thank you for the constant support 🙏
@@reynardlowell always happy to support great content 😁
Even if it looks nice I couldn't imagine using a book as a decorative element
Love the bench, hooks great ideas

Nice and inspiring. Good shots too! What camera do you use?
Nice transformation
The video is so perfect but the music is so annoying.
Those lamps look really nice, unfortunately they dont ship to the US
What are and where are the art prints/ frames from in the entryway?
I was wondering the same thing
Love his style ❤️
Hi Reynard, can I ask how you secured the shoe cabinet to the wall or if it's free standing? Cheers!
I love your videos, its give some inspiration to put some details in my apartement, and yess subbed here ..
as i see, when u sit on oak bench to tie your shoes, your right hand will hit the lamp, right ?
I'm always happy to watch you
