these are all so great. if the sitting area of the $100 designer was put with the little dining nook of the $200 designer, it would be perfection 🥺

[@simonehickling5776]

Totally!

[@nakitalovesyhuu]

You could also just get the same type of fabric sofa and keep the sofa very simple in its shape and that would work with the rest of the furniture picked

[@craftlover9702]

My thoughts exactly!

[@TehKang]

The $20 is a 0/10. They didn't listen to you at all. You said you can't change or add to the room and they did alot of both and you said no TV's and the reason the couch doesn't face the fire place is because it's facing a big flat screen TV. The room looks lovely if you can actually make it look like that. But for dropping the ball so many times I'd say 0. I agree with your scores for the other two

[@carnifaxx]

yes! I really don't understand how that happened, even for 20 dollars you can still keep 4 things in mind... (I have serious doubts if it was actually done or if it was a random downloaded picture with similar disposition...)

Also. They had a bench by the window.

[@stormy877]

[@abby_renee2395]

THIS

[@cb9825]

Designers LOVE to use very expensive furniture in their visual projects, because usually those 3D models can be found for free. For others they have to pay a bit. I used to work at a company which hired freelancers to make 3D models of most beautiful pieces from our catalogue - tables, chairs, vases, etc. They were available for downloading for free so the designers could use them and show these options to clients. IDK if companies with cheaper furniture did the same. I imagine a cheap dining chair would be a bestseller anyway, but a chair that costs like 5 minimum wages would need some heavy promotion from interior designers. If you don't set a hard "spending" limit for an interior designer, they would just "fill" the rooms with the designer chandeliers, sofas, rugs. Because expensive things do often look prettier and it's way easier. Then you are stuck with a perfect picture that you love, try to find similar things within your budget, and everything looks like a knock off version of the perfect picture. Insist on them using only things you can afford.

[@mistyminnie5922]

[@jellydarling1008]

[@TheKaurK]

Great tip if you are working with an interior designer in person and long term but not worth it for the small designers online since all that extra effort would also cost a lot more on their end (both time and money wise) and should not be included for free in the price of a single render.

[@cb9825]

@@TheKaurK maybe it would be better to pay the designer more and get furniture options that are exactly your price range. It would save a lot of time and effort.

[@lovesickstayreacts]

I really like the $100 designer's render the most, but I do really like the table being by the window like in the $200 designer's render... the $100 one feels the most like a home to me? the $20 one gives off major hotel vibes, and the $200 feels cold... i dunno. but i do LOVE the table being by the window in the $200 one. I think if the table were by the window in the $100 render that would be a 10/10 for me

[@kriss.editzz]

The modern aesthetic has always felt very cold to me. It might be all of the white. It always gives emotionless vibes. Also, the first one had a TV and changed the room way too much. Not rental-friendly. But, I loved the $100 one. :)

[@Diniecita]

Yes. I agree.

[@maddieroewer7852]

rounded furniture always makes a room feel more cozy and welcoming to me. also i run into literally every piece of furniture in my house anyway, so they soften the blow quite a bit

[@rc31802]

They also ignored too many of the specifications; tv, changed the walls & fireplace. It cut the room up in odd ways. The other 2 really made the space feel cohesive

[@DartJedi]

The term you are looking for is "organic" .🤓

[@ellemoonriver]

Fav was the 100%! I think the color harmony is much better than the more expensive one. And the cheapest almost completely disregarded your requests (he destroyed the fireplace, added freaking wall pannelling AND A TV). I do love the table by the window! It would be so cozy!

[@kiriporritt6057]

My main complaint with all 3 is that they've changed the colours of the walls - which doesn't give you an accurate representation of what their recommendations would actually look like in your current rental. I love the round dining table near the bay window and the curvy couches. I agree that the fireplace should be the focal point of the room for the living area. For the superstar couch - have you tried looking second hand for something similarly funky? I find a lot of really great stuff on Marketplace or whatever second hand platform the UK has access to. Definitely don't use heavy curtains and block the light from the bay window.

[@miephilodendron]

The chairs of the 100$ pro designer are wishbone chairs. they are very comfortable! they are quite expensive, but we have been using them for over 25 years now at our dining table. and even after all this heavy usage they still look very nice.

[@xotennisxgirlox]

Some of those chairs go for $250-300 for one.

[@hez_am_i2448]

i hattttte them lol depends how u feel about back support

[@frederiknielsen9980]

My family also have these chairs and they’re still looking fine, but the price for these chairs are $604 and they’re 6 of those chairs on the picture. The final price will be about $3624 and these chairs will be more expensive than everything else on the picture.

[@miephilodendron]

@@frederiknielsen9980 haha yes. they must have been less expensive 25 years ago... not affordable nowadays....

[@hockeybuzz555]

They're comfortable if you sit with good posture and or have strong core muscles, but if you slouch a lot they are annoying and can get uncomfortable. The design is really nice though, and they are famous.

[@strangelykingless4980]

Re: round tables/sofas, when my family moved into our new place, my mother actually drew out the shape she wanted our dining room table to be out on newspapers, with lots and lots of curves everywhere, some bigger some smaller, and the person making the table wanted to take so many out/make it more angular, but this table is really lovely, so I can only recommend round/wavy tables!

[@t.a.yeah.]

Yes, I want a round dinig table, too. I think, it would lead me through the room in a good way, whereas a rectangular table would kind of stop me by entering the room. And we had a round table, when I was a kind, it always felt so.. together. :D (and shaped my taste, I guess)

[@tesssmith5548]

I love this kind of thing! And you're incredibly fun to listen to.

[@ElizaArcher]

I love this video!! I spend hours designing my "dream house" on a 3D model software. For health reasons I still live with my parents at 32 😭 I hope I get to move out someday. My fav design was the $100 living space with the $200 dinning space :D

[@whoooshy777]

Which software?

[@nottheone582]

i hope you get to build your dream house one day!

[@remi4610]

[@lorraineaylward8167]

This is a wonderful idea. I would never have thought to have designers do this. Putting the dining room near the window is great. Round/oval tables are great. There is no "head" of the table. I find them great.

[@be83]

I love the curvy sofa too! I love the table with the window too.

[@elliest55]

The second (£100 designer) one is the best by MILES. Right style, thoughtful regarding your needs (OK not so much regarding your budget, but hey at least you wouldn't have to buy a new table), really consistent, cosy and homey. The other two were way too hotel-y for me, though I did like the idea of a round table at the bay window.

[@kristinachalker9893]

Totally agreed that the table in the bay window was the move, unless you like hosting large dinner parties, because I could see that space getting claustrophobic quick! With the wall “cladding”, there are a lot of peel and stick wallpapers that are rental friendly that could potentially work to achieve that effect!

[@Japa0788]

The $100 design was my favorite. 8/10 It would be perfect with the round table from the $200 and a bit more color. Did any of the designers asked if you had animals?

[@ronelltofte1665]

A round table by the window is a great idea. However none of the designers took the period style of the room into consideration. Gustavian style would be a much better option. There are beautiful cupboards or dressers ( with doors) to choose from which would provide "catproof" storage as well. A tall mirror above the fireplace will also reflect light into the rest of the room. It is easy to swop out a ceiling light with a chandelier and will allow for the orginal light fixture to be returned to its place. Try to have at least 5 lightsources throughout the room. And a large carpet in the seating area could add pattern and a touch of colour. Enjoy your new space!

[@heatherheath3834]

You are probably right, but she did specify that she wanted a more Japanese style which is why they didn’t. Thank you for your insight though!

[@braria9855]

The biggest cheap difference I think you will get is by swapping the full darkness-giving curtains for the gentle see-through the last designer suggested. Removing them completely will likely give you an uncozy look, but the light is going to be much better.

[@RhondaInProgress]

I loved the dining table by the window. The crazy expensive sofa is gorgeous, because, of course it is. Maybe you can find a cheaper version?

[@gabriellenichole3445]

I thought the same thing, to put a circular table in the bay window area and then move the sitting area toward the side of the room. I love the plants and abstract art!

[@pama.6410]

Now we need a video on how you went about finding designers within certain price ranges! Surely you can find a curved sofa at a reasonable price at some furniture store or looking online. Many people use places like Craigslist and whatever it might be in your country (you have an accent to me. lol) and find beautiful, expensive pieces at a discount. Seems like a rejection of that beautiful architecture and tiling to put such stark and ultramodern furniture in it, though, but you should be true to yourself.

[@mireille2106]

I did love the 3rd interior desginer table by the window, to imagine having a cup of tea with a little bit of sun shinning through and the second designer for the living room. A lot more clear color and wood materials, especially the industrial type shelving

[@LS-el7xc]

I looooved 2 and 3.. a combination of those would be perfect! #1 is also pretty but, personally, I love it when design works with the personality of the space, this gives it more home vibes instead of, like you said, hotel vibes. I think #2 kept the personality of the space the best :)

I give the $20 person a 2 out of 10. They didn't even follow along with any of the parameters that you asked except the Japan style. I love the idea of the dining room near the window!!! True about the cats and leather. I think you could put an elaborate cat tower where the bookcase is. You should call the people that have that sofa and tell them you've been advertising them for free on your podcast and if they'll give you one for free! You never know for them it's advertisement. If they get three people to buy a sofa video that it pays for itself! Dream big girl!

While $20 is indeed nothing for designing a room for someone, it’s unacceptable to charge someone for your work and then entirely disregard what they’ve asked you to do. A terrible design would be one thing (and I agree, it’s kind of terrible), but my real issue with that design is that someone charged money for their work and then totally ignored their client. Unless your client has explicitly given you free reign to design whatever you like, you don’t get to waste their money by ignoring their desires at any price point.

[@schumerthd]

You made a stipulation that the room would not contain a TV. There still needs to be a form of entertainment in the room. This can be fixed by adding speakers to the room. I would recommend some type of Bluetooth-record player. This way you could hide Bluetooth speakers with the appearance of a record player. Alternatively, you could get a Bluetooth sound bar and place it on the fireplace as well. The reason for why I would put the dinning area near the windows is because of flow. When you walk into the room, if the first thing you see is a waist high object, then the room feels smaller and like it is going to fall on top of you. Plus, when you sit on the sofa your back is facing the wall and you see the windows. This makes the room feel larger. Also, couches/sofas go in the center of a vary large room, this is why you see them next to walls. Another reason for why you would put the sofa facing the windows, is lighting. Lights goes into the room from the windows, this will cast shadows, which can make reading/relaxing difficult.

[@mrspleasants8529]

This was fun. I just redesigned my house in Japandie and love its simplicity and flow. It is tranquil with spots of luxuriant comfort to read or relax dotted around the house. 1st Designer 2/10. Did not stick with original specifications. The cost of doing such a design would be outrageous. 2nd Designer 8/10. Nice room, great flow. Keeping it low and Japandie. For an apartment the cost of this room would be budget friendly. However, the colour scheme is old...need 2022 colours on the wall. I know you like curved sofa's, but you can get nice sofa with rounded arms instead. 3rd Designer gets a 7/10. I like the dining table by the window and a round table is more inviting. I think there is too much round furniture and it looks rather silly. Love the little duel table by the chair that fits inside the other. You can get similar at Dunelm. The colour scheme, or lack thereof does not take the fireplace into consideration. My thoughts is to add a bit of colour from the fireplace in cushions or art...just a tad...on an otherwise neutral theme from the 2022 colour line.

[@tobyskinner94]

Love your videos! I know that they will always be amazing! :)

[@brendamatthews4435]

I love the dining nook in the bay window. You will enjoy it more than the living room itself, no matter how you design it. Your cat needs it's own furniture/carpeted shelves. Put that in the corner opposite the entrance. Possibly a small table or chest of drawers for tablecloths and cloth napkins just inside the the entrance on the left WITH a lamp on it. It's easy to turn the lamp on for ambient lighting instead of the overhead. And the sofa definitely needs to face the fireplace, a smaller sofa (than the ones your designers suggested) with 2 funky, different styled, comfortable chairs on either side The sofa and chairs need wooden legs to make the room more spacious in a neutral colour - not white. AND with a wide pathway between the lounge furniture and fireplace leading you into the dining nock. The coffee table - funky - you'd have room for an unusual shape. I love the floors. Wood floors need a rug big enough to fit under the sofa's, chairs' and coffee table's front legs. And artwork - extremely important. It's like the jewellery that finishes the dress and very personal. Just as people look at your books in your bookshelf to glean more about you, artwork reflects YOU. I'm a colour person and you love neutrals - add colour in your artwork. Imagine a large Picasso type piece behind your sofa. Every morning you'd love walking past it on your way to the window and table with your coffee. It's a beautiful room.

[@megancampbell3914]

The round table in the window is a great idea. If you keep searching for the rounded couch you might find a second hand rounded couch. Did you tell the designers you had cats? They all seemed to miss that fact.

[@eleabolar]

What a cool video concept! I like the living room from the 100$ one and the dining room from the 200$ one. The first one honestly surprised me because they put a tv (which you specifically said you didn’t have or want in the space??) and then reoriented the entire room to face it?? Anyway, the last render was gorgeous!

[@joellakoslowski5397]

Bless your heart for helping the less fortunate.❤️🙏🏼

[@Maxuras]

Those 3 definitely looked all great. About the first I do actually like the wooden panels with the indirect LED lighting behind. I don't think this is to difficult to install even in a rental apartment. Of course he had a tele (towards which the room was kind of focused) when you explicitly said no television. Between the 100 and the 200 designer I can't make a choice. I think I like the 100 better but that's because I really don't care for dining areas, so this can be in the end of the room away from the window. ... Also the oval carpet goes really well with the rounded sofa.

No one mentioned desk/work area. If you use your dinning table then for sure put it near the window with a shorter bookshelf under the adjacent window. You do have lots of room. Congratz, your 'space' is beautiful. May you enjoy many many happy moments there.

This was awesome! You’re so witty 😂 good luck with designing your apartment

omg omg I MISSED YOU SO MUCH EVEN THOUGH I REWATCH YOUR VIDEOS ALL THE TIME

2 weeks late but.. i think the $100 designer idea is great with the table by the window. You can find cheaper versions of that sofa guaranteed! Just shop around and don't forget consignment shops.

The algorithm brought you to me and I thoroughly enjoyed this so much!!! Can't wait to see more :)

Love the 2nd design. That sofa is fabulous wow 😮

[@prestigousbabe]

This was a cool video! I definitely really liked the dining area being by the windows, I wouldn’t have thought about putting it there either! Lol

[@juliannerose7174]

That dining area from the professional designer is so. damn. lovely. Even if it's too expensive to recreate, any round table for dining there would be peak class with those windows around.

I love the idea of the table by the window I'm surprised only one of the designers had that idea

[@magdalena8896]

Great idea for the video! Very interesting. I'd love to see more of similar ones 👍😊

[@JadeMarieOfficial]

I love the second one. Replace the shelves with a lovely cat tree and it suddenly becomes a great space for kitties too!

[@0Khloe0]

Most definitely put your dinning table near the windows. It would be so cozy. But hopefully your new windows are better at keeping the weather out (unlike your old ones), that way you can actually use your living area. 😆
