*INCREDIBLE* Living Room + Entertaining Space + Home Office Makeover!!!

[@marenmcmartin7407]

I never comment, but I’m so impressed by the improved functionality paired with the increased beauty of the space. Y’all really made that space work.

[@sparkletone1684]

The first thing I noticed was the space looked brighter afterward. It looks wonderful! Such a change from how it was before!

[@r.kennedymaclean2636]

STILL SO OBSESSED WITH THIS MAKEOVER! The layout is absolutely perfect and couldn’t be more functional. Apollo and Athena love to perch themselves on the shelves to survey the room and snuggle up on the new couch and rug... safe to say they also love it 😻 Thank you again!! Still have the same reaction every time we walk in the door 🥳 - Dave + Kennedy

Girl! Girl?!? You knocked this one out of the park. The new layout was a muuuuch better use of the space. Very nicely done.

I'm loving how your style is changing so much - you are nailing these masculine spaces ! I love that couch, the feature wall colour, the shelving unit and that you kept their coffee table, tv unit n technology. It looks liveable (with some decorators I wonder 'yeah but how long will it stay like that'). Yeah for Xico n Carla - ur a slick team 😆 Stay safe and best wishes from Australia xx

You are so right, everyone tends to put furnitures up against walls, the sofa in the centre is a game changing effect. The spot for the desk is great. Sara Nena DIY

'Lex, this is one of the most transformative make-over ever. It's stunning.

[@aviajarehema7393]

Like the industrial decor in this vid.

[@lynda.grace.14]

Great job! I especially liked the color of the sofa picking up on the cabinetry and though I'd have chosen differently, the globe lights echoing each other. That makes the whole room more intentional. It's now a very serene and spacious adult space. I also like that there is room for the couple to bring in their own touches. My one suggestion is that the new open bookshelf could use fewer "itty bitty" accessories & books with one or two substantial and weighty items. Something sculptural perhaps. Or larger plants with more industrial style containers. But that's personal and minor.

[@evieartsandcraftlover1079]

Everyone needs a Xico, man of many talents!! This space feels much more neutral it’s still manly but it has personality now, his partner would feel so much more comfortable (I would) its not acold, black and lifeless Batchelor pad any more. Loving the couch configuration.

[@rickgeller6043]

Except he calls her, his partner not GF. That would be a downgrade from GF.

[@cjunes468]

People keep saying the TV should be centred to the couch and I completely disagree! That TV is MASSIVE and would only look right centred on the wall. PLUS once it's mounted.. it ain't moving. It's not something you can just move around when you get the urge to rearrange your furniture. This way they are not limited to this layout if things change in the future. Alexandra you nailed it! Awesome job!

[@remykhalil]

I totally get why the couch wasn’t centered, however I would’ve taken it a bit farther backwards that way it wouldn’t be so close to that big tv and he would still have room to walk between the living and kitchen area. Love the transformation though!

[@jacintaanderson]

Then they lose the space behind the lounge for walking past the desk

[@ceer9141]

Yes, especially because they said they entertain there. They had two couches, now only one. Bit squishy.

[@HapaBunny]

Or even just... shift the tv over to the left to be more centered to the couch?

[@remykhalil]

@@HapaBunny then the tv wouldn’t be centered with the wall which will make the whole set up look weird

I loved every bit of your choices . I even tried to purchase some items but they were out of my budget . I always find something I want to purchase or make with every video. And luv the hair and lipstick and the outfit .

Mr Kate calls it the wall syndrome lol

I guess it starts when you get your first furniture - it's cheap and not sturdy so you place it against the wall? Free-standing, solid furniture costs more & looks good from all angles. I'm saving for one.

@@thoselittlehands5388 "wall-itis"

[@psi_lucid]

@@FurnitureFan exactly! I’m new to the apartment game and I bought cheap furniture. Plus wiring for TVs, computers kind of force you to place them near outlets. I placed my desk against one wall, TV against another, which forced me to put my couch across it against another wall. Now I realize all my furniture is rectangular and against the walls! 😰

[@FurnitureFan]

@@psi_lucid Yes, outlets! I don't use loads of power but it's a practical limit. I had to add one & I have one wall with no outlets at all. I see great bookcases on sale that have to plug into the mains. My new book case will have battery LEDs. (I work in IT and you can get long rubber floor strips to cover a flex, but still.) At least it's easy to hoover a clear floor space. I get bored with the same layout though. Alexandra is so creative with layouts, it's inspiring.

[@LoveYamachan]

He's right! This is perfect~ It's simple and practical but so cozy and stylish~! These is the kind of fix that I love from Alexandra~ :)

[@swiinka]

Lovely makeover! The best thing about it is that it could have totally been made on a budget, i.e. by removing one sofa (why do people have more than one sofa when they don't live in enormous houses? I see it even in rental spaces, always baffles me), rearranging the existing furniture and switching the ceiling light into something brighter. Which doesn't mean that the new furniture didn't elevate the transformation even more, I love that new desk and the shelving. Good job, team AG!

@ 5:30 I want to put the sofa on the painted wall and move the tv on that wall to the white wall so the sofa doesn't block off the energy like it does in the room and uncentered. This would have left room out in the room to place a small sitting chair where you have the couch now. But with that said, I love where the office is. Love the shelving unit, which I would have omitted a shelf near the top and placed the tv in the unit. Great inspiration to get my creativity moving.
