Cold Condo Bedroom Gets A Cozy Makeover! | Small condo bedroom ideas

[@extremegleek23]

I don't know why it seems like Alexandra gets so much hate! She is completely self taught, has her own unique "brand" of styling, and makes everything she uses available to her viewers (and usually shops at affordable places). She also customizes spaces for people who hire her and as long as THEY love their space, that's what matters! Keep doing great Alexandra, I watch every video every week and as a beginner to interior design, you've helped me learn so many tips and tricks.

[@Frchgrl]

Right on !

[@catherinewhitman8333]

Who said they " HATE " HER???

[@s.zander6211]

What does it mean to hate...? It's just that everyone can design their home in the best possible way if the money is loose in their pocket. Most of the content shown is not feasible for most people. And the reason why people watch such videos at all is because they are looking for solutions to problems with complicated living conditions. And the solution can't be to get a workshop or expensive furniture. And the budet-friendly solutions are really not that nice. To call criticism hateful, I don't really know..... 🤷🏼‍♀️

[@turtlefish]

Just changing the light fixture made the space look 100X better. Love the major yet simple transformation.

[@AlexandraGater]

Right??

[@minnam275]

This time it was such a perfect choice!! Absolutely loved it!

[@lynnestephens6776]

So glad Graham joined the team later. HE IS AMAZING! Wish there were more talented individuals like him. You are lucky to have found him as you compliment each other.

[@anniebanana3698]

While I can see in a sense where people are coming from with thoughts that Alexandra's designs look the same, I think that it's also important for designers to develop their own personal style/niche. Her brand is a certain aesthetic (boho, cozy, fun, etc.) and people love that, myself included. I've been obsessed with interior design for a few years and I can definitively say that every designer I've watched and LOVED is very good at their craft and has their own unique style that sets them apart from others, hence you kind of go to them for a certain "look" that is unique and that they have really perfected/established. To me, it seems insane to expect a designer to have a super strong grasp of every design aesthetic. There's a saying that I think fits here, "Jack of all trades but a master of none." If Alexandra was just this designer that did whatever she wouldn't really have her signature look. I will say that she's definitely mixed it up at times, especially when designing for a male client so I think she can go outside of her regular style aesthetic too. I think that a lot of women gravitate towards her because we enjoy the looks that she creates and we also expect that she will be doing them somewhat inexpensively where possible as part of her brand I believe, is creating looks with pieces that are accessible from places like IKEA and creating looks that won't exactly break the bank for the most part (with DIYs etc.). Anyway, these are my thoughts. Take them for what you will.

[@HeatherCashArt]

I agree! It's the same way with being an artist (like a painter, etc) or a musician, or any kind of art! If you have your own unique style, that's what's going to keep people coming back!

[@Lorjarca]

Well said. 👏

[@300happybunny]

Ummm have you seen Mr. Kate?? Truly an amazing designer that has a master of all styles because she is a skilled designer who hasn't boxed herself in to one niche.

[@Gabriela-zp1kj]

Wisegirl1121 I think that’s when you see the difference between someone who studied art and design (Mr. Kate) and someone who didn’t (Alexandra). Not saying Alexandra doesn’t have good style, but the repetitiveness of her styling choices definitely arise from a lack of education in design.

[@anneburroughs3039]

My thoughts and feelings exactly. I watch Mr.Kate, The Sorry Girls, and Mia Maples. No one’s aesthetics come close to AG’s. I enjoy them all, and find lots of ideas to take away, but I really want to replicate Alexandra’s.

[@iamwindchakra]

Small thing but I LOVE that the pillowcases tie together! I hate the flappy opening of cases that don't tie/snap/zip closed. Such a thoughtful detail.

[@jennb4405]

yep good idea... love the whole room

[@reflexology52welsh48]

You did a fantastic job, one small thing,it's I wish you would've styled the beautiful linen bed a bit better, overall tho it was beautiful!

[@iamwindchakra]

I love how simple this one is and I love the colors. The warm woods really warmed up the concrete grey tones.

[@Algorithmicgeneratedwordsalad]

I love how excited her dog was before she looked the dog did a good look around and then wiggled his tail

[@aurelieleclerc4514]

The timing of this video is insane ! I am struggling to decorate my sad and plain bedroom with the super strict rental conditions I have to deal with... Thank you for the inspiration !

[@STRANGExFACINATIONS]

i think the color name you're looking for is mauve :)

[@autumnshelton9787]

I thought it was mulberry? Lol

[@alaah4183]

Dusty rose

[@1Lightdancer]

Mauve - don't you love the word?! Dusty rose is also close

[@jk3253]

Was going to make the same comment. I love mauve

[@brendasnow8255]

Right! But that’s so 80s...”retro” is the word.

[@mommam.6101]

I am a senior citizen, way past senior, and I downsized to a house built by an older couple. I hate the fixture over the small dining table and the bathroom fixtures, they just look like old people. I’m thinking I could get a wicker basket and hang over the existing light, maybe take the shades off, and it would modernize it quite a bit. I have a lot of Mexican inspired pieces to add color and to remember my many trips to Mexico. The wicker would go well with that for sure. Now I just have to figure out where to get a basket.

[@shayelea]

I really just shouldn’t read the comments. I will never understand why you have so many haters, and I admire that you have a good sense of humor about it. This was lovely.

[@rulu3345]

yeeees, you turned that ignorant comment into an art print inspiration. Well done.

[@lindakovacs7904]

The room is very minimal and comfortably sweet and the clean palette is welcoming ...the only drawback are the lamp cords that are hanging noticeably under those adorable side tables , otherwise really an exact fulfilled concept . love it though and your recipient can hide the cords herself if she decides to. Alexandra is such a great choice to help those in need because she fulfills wishes while thinking with her heart.

[@paulapercsi8897]

I loooove this transformation! I was really surprised that she didn't put drapes up! I expected that when I saw the title 😂

[@sweetheartcarebear5534]

Someday Alexandra I will need you to make over my bedroom. I'm not working right now, but when I am I'll be reaching out to you. You've got style!

[@aparajitaxyz]

Loved this one as you didn't change major things like walls or curtains and yet ....there was amazing makeover. Textures and colour added by accessories. Loved it!👍

[@lindaplopper7981]

Love this change. I think adding your trademark sheer white linen drape from floor to ceiling would be amazing. Such an amazing space

[@sweetness371]

I haven't watched the video yet, but I gotta say, I appreciate how you've been cranking out these makeover videos!

[@justinelandis-hanley6963]

THREE videos in one week!? Alexandra, how you spoil us 😍

[@spunkywaves8162]

Love the results, the light fixture, rug and bedding made such a big difference.❤️

[@jacquiheywood3142]

That make-over made a huge difference.

[@dianegoss7181]

What a not nice thing for someone to say to you. We may have different ideas and tastes, but you are very talented and bubbly!

[@donnaallgaier-lamberti3933]

I always enjoy these room makeovers Alexeerendr'a style is not really my style as I am an older woman who prefers higher end design but even though that is true,.I learn a lot from her blog/vlogs ( great sources for lighting for example.) I enjoy seeing new and fresh pieces that I might newer had discovered, how things work in Canada and what I enjoy most of all is that Alexendra is a true entrepreneur. She knows how to market herself,,she knows her to build her brand how to build partnerships with businesses and her unique "remote" restyle option. I believe her niche is for the younger person who wants a makeover, a person in the "staring out" stage of life, hard-working millennials -again not me - but finding your niche in business is the absolute key to success.

[@dloveofgod8269]

This is a nice makeover Alexandra. Lenny looked like he was eyeing the bed to get in.

[@hollyhasegawa6095]

So pretty, I love that you have color on the bed and it's linen which I also love. That light fixture really changed the vibe of the room. Thanks again for all of the inspiration, I love this video.

[@lisablack9634]

I do enjoy the minimalistic approach. Her space went from college student to working girl fab. You also stayed close to design client wanted. Would love to see clients looking for rich color schemes and a DIY element.

[@chapman1569]

That bedroom is flooded with light! WOW! The view is amazing. This decor was well done. Another successful makeover.

[@jojocatattack]

Beautiful - I was waiting for light white curtains!!

[@melaniechiouera]

The design sandwich is brilliant! Trolls are just great inspirations for awesome design!

[@readingsbycara]

*The Alexandra G effect.* Warm. Cozy. Styled. ❣ 👍🏼 😍 Thanks for the inspo. 💚

[@readingsbycara]

#staywell everyone 💚

[@7sevendaysara]

I think I need a string of heart in my life right now!!!! Alexandra you are the queen of pendant light, once more you nailed it. Sara Nena DIY

[@WeAreCaylee]

I love how you design. Sometimes I lose patience and skip to the "after" because I can't wait to see it.

[@trehs98]

I love your makeovers. You always do what your clients want and make it amazing!

[@Vanssaxo]

Love the walls white, instead of pink. Love the side tables! 😍

[@angelacurran5924]

I wish Article shipped to the UK, I love their stuff

[@FurnitureFan]

I had the same problem with another site - sometimes they will ship. But I found the same chair on a local secondhand site in the colour I loved, at half the price. He was changing his colour scheme to white, I bought his chairs, it was great & saved me a lot.

[@maryellenross347]

Beautiful job Alexandra- the dusty plum linen duvet on the bed made the room. However, as nice as the bedside tables are-$100 each is kind of pricey. As usual love the wooden pieces and accent lamps. I would have added curtains to soften the coldness of the room a bit more ( maybe a lighter dusty blue to filter the sunlight a bit. ❤️ your style!

[@educationalbrowsing8913]

Agreed. Semi-sheers with blackouts on each end.

[@Fashionlifestyle_Official]

Thank you for sharing Alexandra.Hope everybody here becomes successful on KZbin

[@mael2039]

I'm obsessed with the bed sheets

[@babettemcauley4174]

I like how you listen to your clients. Nice job

[@thestripelessbee713]

Love the natural texture of that light against the concrete ceiling. Super cool!

[@Jennperrywork]

Yes it Dusty Wine!!! Love it.

[@michellebelle3845]

Love the furniture and light choice. All goes so well together. 😍

[@mommygarcia9137]

Wow !! It looks super cute & trendy !! Love it !!

[@vivianvaz772]

I like that you enjoy not only re decorating spaces but enjoy filming.. I'm sure the person on the other side assisting you is fun too 😀

[@Jaacck45]

Going to try Ikea bedding - another good makeover 🙌🏾

[@longloismariam7767]

You , happy , full of goodness girl ! Keep the spirit dear , we really need it

[@carlyh6913]

Love the quilt cover, rug and pendant light. Those 3 things alone are so cosy 😍

[@vickinoeske1711]

Beautiful bedding and cool sidetables.

[@missinchoate]

All I’m thinking about is how the dog got to see the room first like that’s not fair 😂

[@AlexandraGater]

HAHAHHA!

[@swiinka]

You can tell who's the most important member of the household :D

[@natevaG85]

Omg my thoughts exactly 🐶😂

[@agnese72]

Beautiful makeover as always & the room looks so much bigger.

[@juliebey8240]

Love the bedding. The color is beautiful! Maybe add some more decorative pillows with texture and coordinating colors?

[@I8AFluffyBunny]

I love the light fixture, such a perfect touch.

[@rssll90]

I am living for that bedspread

[@pamelafox7677]

The duvet cover is rose! Beautiful room.

[@erikas974]

Alexandra this make over truly amaizing. I wish you could come to Australia and help me do my place. So warm and stylish. True talent you are. 😍

[@inatwho]

You have created such a warm, inviting, and serene space; ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL!!!!!

[@GradKat]

Looks very attractive.

[@ishanisen2470]

Ok but this actually was just FABULOUS

[@melonboi2553]

What a beautiful gallery wall ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@kimika53]

My current bedroom has a similar size to this one. I gained a few tips from this video although it was 4 years ago. Thank you.

[@blackcatproductions3]

That’s a good trick filming the “cold” before with the shades down and after with them up lol

[@yashasaur]

Mannnn they do this type of stuff for everyyy before and after :( even transformation videos of fitness journeys the person is sad and didn’t brush their hair or teeth lol but the after they are have their hair done and smiling

[@charlottewright6569]

Love it! Only things I would add are cushions, a throw and maybe some curtains?

[@jessicaday3706]

I’m so excited about the virtual makeover package!!!!

[@vanequa]

The bedding is everything 😍

[@SuperKATTG]

"Grown up bed"...Lol I am a grown up and still cannot afford this bed.

[@lindabelardes9114]

I love her style… always

[@Swayspirit]

Love it! Such simple things to create a whole new look. I would never have thought of white frames in a white wall but it really works! And the bedspread is fantastic

[@denises9426]

Love how warm you made the space feel. ❤️🌼❤️

[@sherrypratt8269]

So clever. Love her style.

[@Pstanich]

i love when i see you have a new video - makes me smile

[@gulsanadaribayeva5881]

Alexandra, you've done another amazing job!!! Like side tables and blanket!!! Those things made such differences! Good job!

[@gemstar2]

How will your design service work for international customers? I imagine it would be harder for you to research products in unfamiliar locations, I live in New Zealand and its not practical to ship furniture/large products (or at least it costs a bomb!)

[@mckennabrock1865]

@SMG lol there's not a whole lot of design options in NZ and rental laws are ridiculously strict which makes changing things like light fixtures or painting really difficult! Would def be a lot more challenging overall here.

[@bcfriardoyle7697]

Question: We are in a condo, contract beige with 12 foot ceilings in the living room and Master. It would cost 10k to paint, landlord doesn’t want to do it and that’s a big cost if we don’t know how long we’re staying. I inherited the place from my hubby. There are small dings and smudges on walls from moves. What do I do?

[@blessingm.8375]

Amazing makeover! Where’s the brown oversized leaf that you put on the wall from?

[@arwinderkaur2101]

Can you please tell where is that fan from ? 😍

[@preetineog4245]

Hi Alexandra,your room decor ideas are beautiful. I am thinking to decorate my room by taking inspiration from your videos. Please can you tell me the pink shade you use for your decors...in some videos I notice a pink vase.Which shade of pink is it exactly? It would be great help if you reply.. lots of love

[@beautygeek4]

Turned out great but that was definitely NOT a cookie cutter condo. You started with an amazing space!

[@angelaglaros]

The concrete ceiling was really interesting-much better than my water-stained ceiling tiles...

[@dancinbezug]

How did you hang the plant from the concrete ceilings? Did you have to use a special bit to drill into the ceiling?

[@ruthgoddard6539]

Loved this. Love the pop of color and that light fixture

[@lindacruikshank2656]

Nicely done. So different.

[@judymcfadden3577]

Very nice makeover, and loved the cozy feeling. Makes me want to go and tidy my bed room up, but it is a beautiful sunny Sunday, so maybe not.

[@tamaraburnell8416]

I love the side tables!!!

[@laurahatfield1861]

Those side tables and lamps are brilliant! good job

[@BLUEGREEN65]

Nice makeover! Awesome condo! Love all the windows 😊

[@NotTheModel17]

I think the bedding color is best described as mauve

[@jazzypiddy]

I'd love to see more creativity in your rooms. Seems to always be gifted furniture and similar light fittings/decor.

[@darthdebby]

Yeah I kinda feel like I am seeing the same things every time.

[@cdugral]

My thoughts. Just no pompoms and no pink walls this time 😉

[@alexbucheli7068]

Agreed, it's the same aesthetic almost every video

[@samanthab3292]

It's her style, people go to alexandria for this kind of vibe. 🤷🏻‍♀️💕

[@jazzypiddy]

@@samanthab3292 Yeah I get it. I just get bored with it lol and like creativity and variety.

[@kellyjohnson3617]

One thing I noticed about the gallery wall when you first walked in that is such a decorating mistake is that people put up pictures way too high on the wall. The anchor piece needs to be eye level. It feels awkward when it’s all mounted too high and people know it feels wrong but no idea why. I love the side tables you found. And I love the comforter color. I love warm colors and natural wood. I live near the ocean so I have shells and beach glass and driftwood decorating my bathroom and sugar pine cones decorating my office and living room. Snd beach rocks too. Quartz, jade and other very pretty stones. I love natural items in my space.

[@danicatoscano7739]

Love this so much!!! Where is the hanging planter from?

[@heikesimu.1874]

I Love this room,after changing...so lightful and cozy 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻😍🌞

[@theaubingirl]

I put my name on you waiting list last week Alexandra, and I am excited!

[@plp4618]

I think I like this makeover the best of all I’ve seen!

[@Howulikethem23apples]

Lovely make over Alexandra! X

[@adelvoros3249]

I actually like this. There are a couple of details I would have done differently but the overall result is calm yet warm which was the goal. I was glad to see that it didn’t end up overdone or overcrowded and there’s a balance in the color palette. I personally would have added a bit richer hanging plat (that one string of leaves seems a bit sad to me), rotated the chest of drawers 90 degrees and centered it under the fan (I might have played with leather or natural wood handles/knobs to see if they make the unit a bit warmer but who knows if I would have stuck with it). I personally don’t think the other side of the door needed a picture (another hanging plant would have been my choice instead of the floor one), I would however have mixed one or two wooden frames into the gallery. And I would have picked a different shade of linen (some warm neutral or muted yellow or light warm brown that’d tie in the color in the prints). I would also have moved the pouf into the corner by the window (where the floor plant is now), as It makes sense to me that someone would sit there with a cozy blanket and a cup of coffee to browse the morning news while it’s raining outside. The uneven placement of the beads on the mirror would drive me insane, but I’m sure she’ll change that anyway. Still, I think the end result worked well enough and I particularly loved the nightstands and all the light fixtures.

[@911nmg]

When you took the bedding from Ikea I couldn't stop laughting! I bought the same bedding to make myself a summer dress, the colour is so lovely! Greatings from Spain 👋

[@antiquesrestoration3874]

I'm constantly amazed at all the people you know that are reportedly creative but live in such uninspiring spaces devoid of design.

[@meganwhitesides7021]

Depends on the creativity aspect. There's alot of outlets. My mum is super creative with sewing, cooking and knitting but not with design. I'm useless at all the things she does however in currently decorating her flat. 👍

[@cmarie168]

Rude.

[@applebee39]

I'm a designer by profession but my work is all done digitally. And unfortunately my 2D design skills do not translate into a 3D space. It's totally different territory for me.

[@mdeeaonetwothree5162]

Love your channel Alexandra. Another favourite channel of mine is Living Big in a Tiny House. If you could borrow some storage solutions from there, your spaces could be more liveable as well as beautiful. I had the Ikea headboard that was originally in this room. It was great for hiding a tissue box and phone charger. It would have been great if you had zhuzhed this item in addition to adding your cute side tables.

[@holybproductions]

Love the ceiling tho

[@SeasonalFrostbite]

The light fixture for me.

[@jenj883]

What a transformation!

[@marilynthomson9564]

Great job! It looks so cozy.
