Here’s a little tip. Before drilling into the wallpaper, cut a small v shape and lift it up. Then drill your hole. If the shelves are moved later the wallpaper can be glued back down.

Little tip for DIY desks like this one - depending on where your electrical outlets are, drill a hole in the back of the counter top that is big enough for plugs to go through. This way your cables are out of the way and the desk looks less cluttered.

There are pop-up outlets, that would be great for that. And the rest of the extension cords could be hidden below. You wouldn't even have to drill in the dressers, but the built addition at the back. Massive oversight.

I just watched this episode today and have to agree I was also not a fan of the darker book shelf’s. Although everything looked amazing and you always do a great job. I think the custom desk would have looked more complete if Graham had made similar custom shelves that matched the wood stain on the desk and then added crown molding at the base and ceiling. I think this would have made the desk look perfect! And lastly, perhaps a bronze or gold curtain rod with rust or dark green velour curtains would also bring the room more character. Just my opinion but you did an amazing job!

I’m guessing there wasn’t enough room next to the desk for those shelves. When designing small spaces often the customer is aware that certain things are compromised. From what I could see in the video there was more than enough work pace on the new desk and possibly Alexandra was already aware that her client would be fine with it.🌸

Nice start. I would use maybe a golden brown or a terracotta curtain in that room, probably a heavier weight, like velvet, and some more ornate finials to go with the vintage vibe. Ideally, hang them closer to the ceiling. I hope she kept her cute old bookshelf somewhere else in the house!

AG. I follow you guys for years now, and I really like this one on its own, its moody and elegant... but the sleek shape of the dressers, the modern chair, white curtains and the very modern looking shelfs, its not really giving dark academia. I am also not sure if the pattern in the walls is too big (?). Dark academia has a bit of gothic influence, a bit of a victorian look, an academic air...it calls for a curiosity cabinet filled with little trinkets. The little side table fit perfectly the bill, and I really like the gallery walls, trying to bring it together, but somehow for me its a bit clashing. I am really happy that the owner loved it though.

Loved this makeover. The room looks so cozy and inviting. So much character but still very calm. Have you ever thought about hanging the curtains higher up closer to the ceiling and have them hang down the side of the window frame instead of following the window frame? I feel it often makes a room feel bigger and it also allows all the light to flow through the room

Great room. My only quibble is with the bookshelf bases, the ‘legs’ make the shelves look like what they are, two free standing shelving units standing on a bench; it would have looked more seamless had there been no ‘legs’ or if they’d been camouflaged. I speak as someone with several thousand books…

Nailed it!:) You can tell the client loved it too. But, I'm nit-picky:) so my five cents is that I find the plain white linen curtains a bit jarring, velvet curtains perhaps in dusty green or any color close to one of the shades in the wallpaper would compliment the room aesthetic. That white and black throw on the chair looks out of place... Given Graham's insane talent this would have been the perfect opportunity to create a one-of-a-kind bookshelf perhaps with a hint of gothic, Moroccan, or Italian inspiration as a nod to the Academia style. This style requires unique world travel-inspired artifacts, a hint of sophistication, and a nod to weird collections. I'm sure the client will add their own flair and reintroduce her own dark green desk lamp as well as her own mementos over time.

It's so beautiful!! I wasn't sure about those white curtains at first, but they preserve the daylight she seemed to like and keeps the room from becoming depressing instead of moody. So well done, and the AG reveal is excellent, as usual. I know I've typed this comment multiple times, but it is true: AG has the best reveals of any YT channel I've watched. Slow, delicious, enabling the viewer to enjoy every inch of the space, revealing textures and the view from multiple vantage points. Chef kiss on this space and every AG reveal. The music makes the reveals upbeat and exciting, too, without overshadowing the actual work. Can you tell I'm a fan of your work? 😄

This is SUCH a beautiful makeover! Alexandra, as a Designer myself, I can’t help but think of what “keeps you (me) up at night”. 😉 THIS ONE kept me up after watching. I couldn’t stop thinking of how that Rug would ever get a good cleaning… This is what could have been a good idea: EITHER, attach those little stick on furniture sliders to the bottom of the bookcases before placing them on the desk high surface & attaching to the wall. (That way, the books can be removed & the Desk moved out to remove the rug for cleaning) OR MARKING the Rug tight to the Desk legs (& perpendicular to the wall, and out from the wall to the front of the desk legs) THEN custom cut & BIND the cut edges, to create Slits -to accommodate the width of the legs - U Shaped open at the wall, but closed at the front of the desk legs, so that the Rug could simply be pulled out from under the Desk for cleaning. That’s my 2 cents worth! 😉

The room turned out great, especially that lovely comfy chair in the corner for her to sit on. LOVE the little round cabinet and the white glass banker lamp. Not a great fan of the colour of the walls, a dark green may have been more in keeping with the theme. One thing I was not too keen on was... the black bookcases sitting on her desk, one on each side. Maybe same size but in a pine wood, that could have been painted the same colour as her desk, so they blend in and have a more chunky feel.Overall a really nice room.

- Unless I missed it, and I went back to look, there is no cord management "system", i.e. a hole drilled into the desktop or a multiplug discretely installed onto the side of the bookshelf and a hole where the cords could drop down or wind behind the bookcase and to the outlet, Unfortunately, those cords are probably white and stick out like a sore thumb.

Wallpaper glue is something you need to slather on. You need more than you think. Wallpapering is so much easier when you figure this out 😊 looks amazing! I'm a big fan of dark academia ❤

The desk, bookcases, wallpaper and color scheme are absolutely gorgeous! The entire reveal is amazing. I’d live in that room… Dark academia is my personal aesthetic choice. Great video!

Epic, stunning! Team AG knock another one out of the park again! I thought "wow, that paint colour is too dark" but that is the tone that was needed to make the beautiful, warm tones of the wallpaper and the desk set up just glow.

I dont usually go for flowery type wallpapers, but this one is gorgeous. Possibly because it is a LARGE print and I also LOVE the gold bar along the top!!! Love the colours too.

But it needs little clip on shades over the light bulbs. Both for aesthetics and to cut down on glare

Love the diy desk and all The rest except... Well I believe it's The first time i really don't like something, which is The bookcase on top of the desk... I found it so strange. But it's ok, cause the young Lady loved it! And team AG always makes a great job, anyway!

I agree with you the bookcases were very odd on the desk. They just did not look like they blended well.

I adore this style and would love to see more of it. Gorgeous. The only thing is I'd love to see something other than white or off white curtains. PLEASE branch out and show us how to pair styles with colored or patterned curtains.

A lot of my design students love your youtube channel and we discuss your work often in our studio. Some of us in the studio are wondering what drafting/cad programs you use to do your floorplan layouts. Thanks so much!
