Where can you get the round pink thing with drawers that is in the middle of Darren's room?

[@ioanasandor1903]

I really like how Darren takes full advantage of no budget, no client. He always seems to push his spaces so far! Jenny and Chiara's designs on the other hand always seem so incredibly safe. I don't think they need to go big in order to elevate their designs, but I do wish they would take advantage of the openness of the design brief. It always feels like they don't play with the space or try to modify it too much and their choices always feel a bit more amateur to me compared to Darren's.

[@Catcapozzi]

Yeah, hearing their initial concepts for the back of the room illustrated this difference in vision: he was like, "I'm gonna change the back wall and ceiling structure!" The next was like, "I'll add wallpaper" and the third was just changing the paint.

[@jennypai3763]

He definitely always goes big and literally creates something that matches the prompt of no limitations. While he did envision a client this time, it's still definitely the most change from the original picture. I think the rest of the designers all more or less still consider what's practical. I know if I were a designer, I can never disregard what's practical. But maybe because I personally don't have the wealth for me to not care about that and only about what I like or what looks good 😅

[@ruel5978]

it feels like he's the only one that's having fun with it. they're taking it too seriously

[@brittanyt729]

What your seeing might be Darren’s “sucker for excess” traits. As far as taking advantage of $ I imagine that shipping in that stone and then using it in nearly all of the room might cost a pretty penny. As far as taking advantage of no client, what client has a closet this size without a full length mirror? I think these designers are all probably pushing the envelope in their own ways. Could you also just be a sucker for excess?

[@ioanasandor1903]

@@brittanyt729 That's a fair observation, I personally wouldn't hire Darren to design any of my spaces because I'm not really into lux design. So, I don't think I qualify as a "sucker for excess". My main issues with Jenny and Chiara stem from design principles. They did nothing with the ceilings, they did nothing with floor elevation, and their closets were lackluster at best (to be fair to Jenny, she definitely had more visual interest than Chiara). These are basic things that help push and change the space and neither of them took advantage of that. I also don't think that Jenny is taking advantage of "no budget" just because of the expensive material. You could get a cheaper dupe and have the same effect, whereas Darren's space is the only one you wouldn't be able to recreate on a budget and that's kind of my point. I'm not knocking the other designers because of their subdued styles. If anything I gravitate to Chiara's aesthetic, it was just disappointing to see what she did with it.

[@rebeccamaracle2878]

Darren is quickly becoming one of my favourite designers. He seems like he has great ideas for any style, any budget. Plus he's really engaging to watch, and he's great at getting the other designers to talk. More of this guy!

[@Hejzizzjzjz]

I'm an architecture student and in every video I always adore Darren's design!! I think what differs his style from the others is he transforms a space first with architectural elements and then finishes it by adding color, texture etc. Such a great inspiration to watch his design process!

[@CherylBerryl]

Darren took the room to another dimension with the way he changed the entire shape of the room by changing the shape of the ceiling, & then adding the texture to it. He then took it to another level by adding further dimension with the the "stage" & multi mirrors. The added footlights were another perfect touch! The vanity was Gorgeous. However, I wouldn't have picked those style side sconces, they didn't fit the rest of the decor, in my opinion. I would have wanted them to be more modern, like the vanity chair. The mix of the light & dark colors added even more depth & dimension, & the lighting in the clothing cabinets were beautiful & really highlighted everything spectacularly. I might have wanted him to add small seating area, just Incase you wanted another place to sit besides the vanity, or if by chance, you had a friend over. Hands down, Darrens' design was The Best!!!

[@RakshadaShirley]

I loved the ceiling and the stage but not the pink or the island cupboard. I would put in a chaise lounge on the stage instead.

[@LordZevv]

Darren could decorate my house any day. When i get rich I'm calling him. 😂 I'd just tell him to design wherever then after i see it I'll tell him to make it masculine. His designs are always the most luxurious. I wouldn't change anything in this closet except the color scheme and the vanity would be a 3 sided full length mirrors

I did not know Darren, but after 2 videos, I became obsessed! He is such an artist. He creates and defines the spaces like no one can. The other designers are playing it safe and are designs that you can almost create on your own. But Darren, he creates something totally new, unexpected, charming... out of nowhere. Kudos!!!

[@jeffreywest9474]

DARREN is the best! Each time a girl dresses it should be fun prior to going out in public. The mirror stage is perfect - the setting reminds me of trying on a wedding dress or prom dress an exciting experience that should be enjoyed each and everyday! Especially if she owns designer clothes. V🌹

[@ouijedanse]

Yes! A closet worthy of the fashions.

[@sophien5416]

Yeeeeeees! And why not go girlie...One day I dream of my own wardrobe room!

[@erinwhipple4666]

Chiara: I like it! It’s giving rich woman living in Paris. Especially with that chaise and the skirted vanity. I also love the wallpaper and that carpet is *chef’s kiss*. My only thing is this is a room where you get dressed in the morning…how are you gonna look at your outfit?? A full length mirror is vital. Jenny: I actually don’t have any negatives! This is a nice space and it’s the most modern out of all the designs. I love the stone, the carpet, the blush pink and forest green color scheme, it all works so well together. Also this is kind of an unpopular opinion but I’m obsessed with bouclé furniture so I really appreciate that little bench, chaise, whatever it is haha. Darren. Wow. I have no notes. This is impeccable. It’s glamorous, it’s campy, it’s over the top and extravagant. This is the closet all of us little girls growing up in the 90s and 2000s dreamed of having. Darren is an absolute icon. We stan.

Like everyone else here I think Darren’s space is amazing, but I also really like what Chiara did. Her spaces always feel very comforting to me- like a warm hug. They may not be the most ambitious, but every time she designs a space I can’t help but be reminded of my grandmother’s home (in a good way).

My favorites (in LOVE order): Darren - YES!!! That mirrored alcove at the end of the room is everything ❣️❣️❣️ While I LOVE the steel chair, I don’t love the subdued lighting for doing hair & makeup. Jenny is a strong LIKE - the ribbed glass is KILLER and I would love to replace Darren’s fabric doors with it❣️ There is nothing about Chiara’s design that appeals to me.

[@prettyladywalkingdownthestreet]

i never thought i'd like a repetitive design like the wallpaper in chiara's closet but she really tied it together so well. i love the glow and the softness of the colors

[@armanik902]

I am still an architecture student so my opinion may change or not be fully correct, but I feel like they all had strong colors and strong themes (which isn't a bad thing if it was another room), but this is a walk in closet and walk in closets should have very neutral colors so they won't take away from whatever you're wearing and give you a clear idea of what it looks like without having the background's influence on it. also I think rooms' colors and the materials used are pretty loud which I think should be the opposite since walk in closets tend to get messy when picking an outfit, so thats another thing. I would've went with some neutral colors and materials that blend into each other and that would make the the room look stunning while not taking away from the clothes that are going to be worn. I also would've removed the doors on the closets because having to open and close the doors every time (which there are plenty of) would bother me, it saves a bunch of time and shows you the many options you have (because sometimes when I domnt see my clothes right in front of me I forget they exist). this is all I have to say, and I'm a big fan of Darren Jetts and their projects.

[@tammv2306]

I like your logic of the use of a walk in closet. I'm with you on all you said. Also, it needs a standing mirror (someone forgot) and it was enough space to make like an island so whoever is using it could use it with her girlies and do make up.

[@Angel-ts8rc]

Closets are a creative space. A fun place. It can and should be whatever you like. There are no rules. There is nothing bad about a pink closet or color. It can actually be very inspiring and productive. And I think it’s safe to say that the interior designers came up with these designs with an imaginary fashion loving client in mind, someone creative.

[@SpiceScholar]

I'm with you! Just reading what you describe calms my nerves and I would pick your design concept sight unseen over anything that was presented in the video.

[@vaishn5803]

I'll rank them according to my opinion... 1st Darren's. The space is so fantastically designed. The pink vibes through out the closet space is really beautiful. I love how all the elements blend in together. The space has such an oomph factor to it. The lighting, stage, the arched wall of mirrors and the ceiling blend so well. 2nd Chiara's and Jenny's. The spaces are beautiful. The closet space blends in well with the floor. The only thing I found missing in Chiara's space would be a full length mirror. Otherwise, Chiara's space does give a bit of vintage vibe (which I think what she was aiming for). For Jenny the color palette has been better than the previous video🎉. The flooring could have been a bit different (green but a different texture maybe). The lighting could have been improved in both of their designs. Overall, all of them really had good designs🎉🎉 Thanks for the video!!
