A Plant and Patterned Boho Dorm Room Makeover!

[@peachemoji]

It's nice to have a makeover of a dorm room with fluorescent lights, school provided bed and desk, etc. I feel like when I see dorm makeover videos nowadays, it's like folks are crafting a whole new room with updated furniture and lights and most kids don't have that luxury!

[@gaz8148]

Exactly

[@Katie_Lee]

I agree!! It’s my first year at college this year and I watched a lot of makeovers before putting my room together. It turned out to be pretty simple compared to others on KZbin but I did what I could with what I have, and I like it! (You can see it on a thumbnail of mine recently if you wish😊)

[@f1bomb]

Kellyn Hoffman yes!!!! I totally agree, like this is much more realistic!!!

[@Tori-op3mx]

I agree, I also think people need to just have that dorm experience... it's not luxury, its accommodation. Decorate your apartment when you get one! Not wasting money on dorm decor.

[@aanalbhatt1762]

Precisely!

[@KEKrato]

I'm not sure if anything could've really helped that door, but the plant hanger idea was BRILLIANT.

[@andreeat2142]

I like the plant holder, but not over the monitor

[@lisahuber9329]

there are mirrors that you can hang on the door, that would have covered a lot of the green

[@janellerocks1]

peel and stick wallpaper would have been cool ! even a wooden one would be nice

[@juliamelone8109]

Except when you forget to take the plants off to water them and end up watering your TV as well!

[@KimixKicks]

I was thinking you guys were going to cover the door with removable wall paper!

[@gracesellers4871]

I think it’s cute! You can only do so much in a dorm. This is a more realistic transformation to me.

[@octobermidnights]

honestly this is the most realistic transformation that i’ve seen. most dorm transformations involve getting new furniture, desk, etc etc etc while y’all used what y’all basically already had + some extra details. love it!

[@camri.taylor]

I love this, my only criticism is I think it would have looked so much better if y’all put removable wallpaper on the door instead of the decals, they feel a bit kitschy to me, and to be honest the rope thing across the window does as well. But I love the makeover, it’s amazing how just a few changes can completely give a new look to a space

[@judewatts6942]

I was honestly thinking the same thing. When Becky had that paper, I legit thought "oh removable wallpaper decals that are in a dark wood for the door. thats a nice idea" and then they did the decals and I was like "oh no the greens are clashing-"

[@delaneym4177]

Y’all get mad when they change “too much” bc it’s not realistic for a college dorm but also get mad that they don’t change enough and it say it seems “lazy.” Just take the video for what it is, instead of nitpicking!

[@sarahgh9495]

People are always going to complain. Whatever the outcome is. It's a shame, really.

[@debgalloway9769]

I love this particular makeover, very doable and very affordable. Also good design sense. It's not to cluttery and really played up her style. Really like that you painted the plant hanger black at the bottom, works well with the computer screen . The string banner over the curtains really helped. An excellent job, ladies!

[@Marigold11037]

A good idea would be to have a sidetable that can fit under the bed! That way, at night you could have a drink and your phone or a book on it, but during the day you could slide it out of the way ♡

[@kstreet]

good idea, or maybe it could be one of those folding trays that could be stashed between the head of the bed and the wall or underneath the bed.

[@alishaw2454]

im like 2 years late but someone i knew had a stool as a sidetable. so during the day, they can use it to sit at their desk but at night when no one's sitting at the desk, its a little nightstand for glasses, etc.

[@Marigold11037]

@@alishaw2454 That's such a good idea!! And honestly really useful as I'm going to uni next year lol

[@marithogervorst15]

During the video I thought.. this isn't much of a change? But the end result is amazing!! Absolutely adore it! Except the door.. who made the decision to make it that awful colour lol

[@jeniferj]

I think in some college campuses they choose to pick wild colours for the doors in case of fire. That way when fire crews go through they can tell amongst the long hallways which ones are doors

[@marithogervorst15]

@@jeniferj oh! Makes sense!!

[@sarashippo]

I really enjoy these videos because-even though I don’t have a dorm room-I do have a pretty small bedroom and this series is really rich in tips and hacks!

[@laibafarrukh1904]

Someone like me would be lazy enough to take the plants off the dowel to water them😂😂😂 and clumsy enough to pour water on the desktop below while watering the plants😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@EchaKiut]

laiba farrukh is that not distracting when studying?

[@laibafarrukh1904]

Well that's up to you😂😂😂😂 if you are not focused then even an empty wall can be distracting 😂😂😂😂

[@EchaKiut]

laiba farrukh 😬lol

[@kcanded]

My concern would be the lazy student who WOULDN'T take the plants off, water them and then have water dripping over the screen and the keyboard.

[@laibafarrukh1904]

University life is tough you don't have much time , and what the time is left I would rather sleep lol

[@lujaffrey6912]

Actually such a beautiful result for a relatively budget makeover. Most of the added items were thrifted it looked like affordable basics you can get at target. Shows how much of a change you can make without spending much.

[@lucypineapple8392]

I'm just wondering how I get Becky and Kelsy to come do my space since I live in the same city as them... Serious question.

[@Kath-Erina]

Maybe try to email them on their Business Email :)

[@extensionofme]

I love you two used what she had and kept it budget friendly. This is a very realistic makeover that many of your college-age subbies can do. Great video

[@susilangdon196]

The plant hanging "swing" is so cool - especially how it hides the TV. So smart, creative, and original! The before and after of this dorm room is amazing - not huge changes, but the room feels so much more restful! 😍

[@vintagecameragirl]

Plants... Water.... Over a computer. Huh?

[@misss299]

Yeah.... I was thinking the same thing. Maybe switch them out for fakies?

[@anski2209]

Take the plants off the hanger, water them, hang them up. easy

[@vintagecameragirl]

@@anski2209 you get that that they still drip right... It would happen to me.

[@louibeans]

@@vintagecameragirl why would they drip if you've taken them down to water and make sure there are no spills before you hang them back up?

[@okonamaroko9419]

@@louibeans Because of the drainage hole in the bottom of the pot?

[@sarahluvburkhardt5755]

Y'all make it look so easy but then at the end it looks like a huge transformation!! Love this room so much!!!!

[@JMWxx]

I liked everything, except what they did with the door. It doesn’t mask the green door. Just makes it draw more attention to it. I’d have done sticky contact paper (those that peels off really easily! Obviously it’s a dorm!)

[@Keriedawayy]

That lighting trick is genius! I wish I had known to cover the lighting in my dorm!

[@frannabey]

I see Becky's been rocking the curly girl method, looks great!!! 💗

[@horseluver2509]

would you be allowed to use contact paper or something for the door? or even hanging a blanket or tapestry on it (under the fire escape stuff if you had to have that showing) cuz that green is really awful lol

[@tanjaweber5188]

Madeleine Harrington I was thinking they could’ve used removable wallpaper! 😊

[@raganaregnbue6838]

@@tanjaweber5188 Same thought here. The stickers don't improve anything.

[@abigailsnyder4238]

They could have, but when I lived a dorm we weren’t allowed to cover or remove the warning from the back of the door, so that’s probably why they left it alone

[@saammmy7]

Yeah I think they should have used removable wallpaper and cut it to fit around the sign. That door color is horrible lol

[@awhshay3681]

i was thinking some sticky hooks, a dowel and semi sheer curtains+some of those 70s hippies bead door hangers in the tapestry colors, so if someone came to inspect she could just take it down/open the curtain in the middle and act like she doesnt cover the sign.

[@sarahgh9495]

I always love your dorm makeovers! They also provide very good inspiration for renters. I think you did an awesome job. Very creative and very pretty. Keep up the great work! ♡♡

[@marybanspach4056]

Idea!! those papers you hung over the lights- cut out a design on each and hang straight down and you have ART!!!

[@nellymironchuck9500]

I love these because they are simple things everyone can do, they don't seem quite expensive and don't seem to take that much time as time is precious for college students.;)

[@ivegottaluvlikewoe]

I love this makeover! I am a senior in college and am pretty content with my space, but it took me a while to get there! Dorm living is rough and it's hard to create a space you feel at home in without spending a fortune.

[@erikafernandez2499]

Omg Becky looks so good rocking her natural hair! It's nice to see her comfortable with it on a main channel video!

[@vibingvegan]

At first i didn't think i was going to like it, but once you were done i thought it turned out so well!

[@Ingridlosneslokken]

That light hack was brilliant! Never would have thought of that 💁🏼

[@teleriduh]

the door looked better without the cheap-looking stickers on it imo

[@kf7770]

I like it but it kind of seems like the patterns got switched out with small, non useful clutter items. Where will she put all those when she needs her desk space or to use that printer?

[@Mhaga81]

Printer appears to be a bottom loading printer so the only time she would need to take stuff off the top would be to scan/fax...which idk if she would really do a lot.

[@kf7770]

@@Mhaga81 Also to load paper and what not. It just seems like a lot of little trinkets to have to move around when you want use it functionally, You know? And where to put it all when you need to utilize the space? It's a lovely room but I wish theyd have added some sort of shelf or storage.

[@anonyuhenriksen2882]

K F i have a lot of small trinkets everywhere in my room. I have to move them around a lot. When my friends and family asks me if it is unfunctional. The answer is yes, cause I’d rather make it look cute than it being functional. I guess it depends on the person

[@kf7770]

@@anonyuhenriksen2882 do you have areas to move the pieces around too? And are you in a dorm room? I'm sincerely wondering because this room doesnt seem to have obvious places, so maybe I'm just over looking the floor as an option lol

[@Marigold11037]

I think there should be one of those ikea-basket thingies? Its like a long U shape that could have paper and books stored under it, and the makeup could go on top. With the height, it could allow those trinket-y things more space so they don't feel cluttered

[@Cheese_Kun]

People complaining about the printer and plants XD they only placed items on the top of the printer which is the scanner. Unless you do art how often do you use a scanner? Most resources are online and I've never used my scanner in like 4 years of uni apart from to scan some photos once! Also the plants won't drip they are in pots! Just water a little and don't mist and you won't get water anywhere! The room looks so much bigger and looks like her style so I think they did a good job! I really like the rugs too!

Watering plants that are hanging above an electronic device - that's a disaster that is waiting to happen 😬 unless you take them off every time for watering. Mirror on the crate - if somebody closes the door with too much force it might fly off the crate. I would suggest either putting it further away from the doors or fixing it more securely. Shit happens. Especially in the dorms. But overall, love the way you transformed the room. These series remind me about the fun i had trying to make my dorms room cozy-looking.

[@LuceWithLove]

In my first year college dorm, I had an entire wall that was the same awful color as that door 😂 I couldn’t do anything with it either, because there was a light in the middle so I could not hang a tapestry over it any any decor only made it stand out more 🙈 made it through though!

[@awhshay3681]

i liked the room besides the door and mirror situation. i used to have that exact mirror on top of a shoebox and it fell over do to the shaking in the house from someone moving around too much, so i’d definitely say it’s a bad idea considering you’re practically living in a apartment situation where people can be disruptive and jump around, i think it would’ve been better to make smth kinda like the plant hanger but with the mirror instead and use the bottom for shoes, make it a bit wider and you could add mini shelves for more storage space or plant/decor space, add mini dowels + mini grids and it can be jewelry storage. The door would’ve looked better if you did something else, if you did sticky hooks and a dowel you could’ve hung some thicker but sheer white curtains and add pretty bead hangers on it, which could’ve tied even more color from the tapestry in with it. Also, ik she loves plants but even if she removed them for watering there’s such a HUGE risk of dripping into her tv, i hope she switches them out and gives the plants to someone or puts them on her window seal.
