    Y'all made this apartment look 3X bigger than it was, and it's so functional! Those doors and nightstands in the bedroom are quite amazing, but the whole space seems airy and light and it has no right, with such an odd layout of the walls and doors, to look so well-designed. One of the best Studio Fixes you've ever done. The couple looked thrilled, and I can see why.

      @@patrick201114 It's so rare to find anything to criticise in Alexandra's makeovers but they just seemed like an afterthought. They draw the eye, would gather dust, and if you put stuff in them it would be completely visible. They are the sort of plastic storage crates you would have in a shed or garage. Some vintage pottery and baskets would work so much better, plus their contents would be hidden. Apart from that though, as always AG and her team have done an AMAZING job.

    As someone with a very small apartment, I found that a great way to create a dining nook is using 2 IKEA kallax bookcases as an L shaped bench. Not only i can fit up to 8 people in a place that otherwise would only fit 6 people max, but it also serves as storage space! It was literally a life saver, since I love having friends over and own too many items I didn't have any more space to store in.

    adding a Murphy bed to that bedroom and closing up the clothing storage would have functionally added an entire room to this couple's house, giving them a hangout space for friendsand even the ability to use the room as a study or hobby space in the daytime. They wanted to be able to spend time with friends in this apt... beyond having tea, 4 people wouldn't fit comfortably.

    The one thing I wish could be changed was the countertop around the kitchen sink, as it appeared to be rotting away. I know you can't change everything in a space, especially with it being a rental, so I'm not upset you guys didn't address it. What I am wondering is why a landlord wouldn't have fixed that before someone moved in, because that level of rot has taken yeaaaars.

  • @Nelia2705
    @Nelia2705 Місяць тому +4

    I love how cute and functional the shelves in the kitchen are, especially with the sliding without tilting!
    However, the chairs look way too big and bulky, pretty and comfortable folding chairs would've been a better option to give them the opportunity to free up space if needed and maybe seat one more person. Especially since it doesn't look like 4 people could sit AND eat there comfortably.
    The hutch could've used non-seethrough doors in my opinion. Especially since Elif and Asif mentioned that they would like to hide things better in that corner. Maybe making the doors pop with a nice but not too in you face pattern repeating the green of the cabinets (painted or peel and stick) or the lattice from the closet doors.
    The mirror looks really nice there!
    The bedroom is too mix-and-not-matchy in my opinion; it makes it less cohesive and cozy than it could've been. The furniture types and wood tones just don't really go too well together, I think.
    Also, yes, some storage has been added, but I think giving really up high wall to wall and maybe even on more than one wall book shelves would've been more practical and looked nice (maybe add a little indirect light moment or some cute string lights).
    Also, the "closed storage" isn't often really closed. Most of those baskets would've been better with lids (less dusty, hiding clutter better and less fading of clothing etc from light) and bigger. Especially in the kitchen and the "wardrobe".
    For the bedroom I feel a ceiling light is missing. Something not too dominant but to give them more light when needed (like outfit check when it's dark outside).
    All in all it looks so much better and Elif and Asif look really happy and them loving it is the most important thing.

    Those pop light sconces are an about time product. About time that we can have sconces without hiring an electrician. This makeover is adorable. I'm surprised a couple can live happily in 250 square feet, but you've made it feel spacious with colors, style and storage.

    Ok, Alexandra and team you changed not only this apartment but their lives. Having a beautiful functional place to live, a place where you feel supported and comfortable, is paramount for productivity and mental health. I was skeptical about this space. It seemed too daunting to pull off what was needed let alone make it beautiful. Well, you did it! 10/10.❤

    Love the decor! Why not use thinner vertical space by the back kitchen door and fridge? And floor to ceiling wardrobe in the bedroom? Vertical space is often underutilized… vertical storage!!! Vertical storage!!! Vertical storage!!! No mini shelves, top to bottom full wall closed storage!!! Love the front door storage tree! So many good ideas - and yet - use the whole wall floor to ceiling for closed storage! Around beds, in kitchens, around your tv etc. in all these studio apartments…
