London Studio/Apartment Tour! | Fleur De Force

[@stickylolly]

Fleur's life is so different from my life, I don't have all these lovely things ... but what I love about Fleur is she makes no excuses for herself and she never sounds braggy ... she's a girl showing us her lovely life .... thats it .... very likable and watchable.

[@wandaann9755]

Totally agree

[@solvisionx9965]

+Distilled Love Well said!

[@KrystalsKash]

+Distilled Love Couldn't agree more! She works hard for it (not that we don't) but I def don't think she should apologise for her life.

[@jessicawong8416]

+Distilled Love I agree.

[@littlemissgemreads]

It's a very true comment. I find the comments/questions about how much she earns & spends quite offensive. You wouldn't interrogate your own friends or relatives. She works hard and has made a wonderful life for herself.

[@Rachel-uy3rw]

Fleur is definitely one of my favourite UK youtubers, I love that she's honest about the interior design being based on aesthetic, however it really did hit me how the world is gradually transitioning into a virtual world. Fleur's idea of 'practicality' is what looks good on camera and obviously this isn't her primary home but it's significant that she owns property for filming. I definitely don't mean this in a negative way - this is her career and it's actually really interesting!

[@noannellesky9360]

+ophelia fay it's not just for filming/ She has lots of business meetings that happen in London (regarding her channel, her book, sponsorships,etc.) and ended up spending a lot on hotel nights (and even though hotels are nice, it can't be fun to not feel at home for a significant amount of time every month). That is why she bought the flat. Then, it needed to be good to film in so that she didn't waste time or opportunities while in London.

[@Rachel-uy3rw]

+hihellohellow yeah definitely, i just thought it was interesting because i don't always think about just how much of a commitment and a 'real life' job youtubing is. Didn't mean it in a bad way at all!

[@anyalake]

Ophelia, you are right and I think Fleur herself would agree. That's why she laughed at herself when she mentioned that she loved the tile floors in her bathroom as they were very instragrammable! KZbin et al used to be a reflection of real life, now we are recreating our lives to be fit for our virtual ones. strange era indeed

[@NaomiVictorias]

I cant really put in to words how much i love everything in this apartment, its SO my style! I love the kitchen and splashback, the bathroom flooring, the bed, the window style mirrors.. ah :)

[@NaomiVictorias]

+Naomi Victoria I cant wait to move out and put my stamp on a place like this, totally going to use you for a bit of inspo :) xx

[@alangaldamez7468]

Naomi Victoria nice digs👌😊

[@lianamitt]

I love how much positivity there is on Fleur's videos. :) Let's keep it up, guys!

[@lindachapman9765]

+Liana Yea absolutely,xx

[@KelseyFarese]

Great renovation! What a nice London retreat- so impressed with what you have done!

[@KelseyFarese]

I love having the excuse "It will look so good in the back of my videos!" to buy pretty colorful pillows and paintings- looovee the one above your bed!

[@The-Sunday-Diaries]

Gorgeous renovation, the space looks really beautiful xx

[@melissacryder3949]

I love the clean and brightness of the space. It's an adorable apt/office. I remember when you and your mom got the chair. The art is amazing as well.

[@FleurDeForce]

+Melissa Cryder Thank you! :)

[@vbgcfan]

Girl, if you ever want to stop making videos, you could easily become a home decorator. Beautiful appartment 😍

[@MsSuperTrue]

Your decorating and sense of style is crazy!! The before and after was just WOW

[@hayleyowen3193]

Thank you for bringing that bed into my life! I just bought a house and I was looking for a bed exactly like that! Amazing apartment.

[@hayleyowen3193]

+Justine Torp she popped a link in the description, it's from made :)

[@hayleyowen3193]

+Justine Torp that's alright 😁 I went straight to find it hoping it was listed.

[@Inesjbn]

People commenting on the cost of the apartment are so rude! Fleur is talented and lucky enough to make KZbin her full time job. Yes, it probably pays better than a lot of other job, but why on earth are people so mean? Good for her, she doesn't hurt anyone! I'm so glad Fleur can afford all this as she's one of the few youtubers who doesn't rub it in your face! She should never apologize for being successful! Go Fleur!! ;) Lots of love Xx

[@keekeesdaily]

I love how you've changed the rooms around, the kitchen has so much more space now instead of being cramped in a tiny space. Great work Fleur!!

[@tantricpanda]

you've turned a nice enough flat into a stunning apartment. your builders have done a great job, and your finishing touches make it look stunning.

[@AleBJwu]

Your taste in interior designs , clothes , bags, shoes , ecc is always impeccable ! I can't wait to see a full house tour ! love u ! xoxo

[@LifebytheBowRiver]

Wow massive improvement. Fleur did you have design help or plan all this yourself? I think you could branch off from beauty to interior design it's that good.

[@Glitzngrins]

OMG Fleur, I LOVE what you guys did with the place! I liked the original cabinetry in the kitchen, but I think the way you guys renovated really made the place come to life. I love watching your projects like this! And I've really been missing your videos the past two weeks, you must be crazy busy!

[@ninamarie177]

Everything looks gorgeous, when can I move in?

[@annaw9687]

This is so beautifully done, I like how it still looks trendy without looking exactly the same as every other KZbinrs house (copper, white). The bathroom/kitchen switch worked so well, much more spacious! It's another world to me but motivation to work hard so I can have a lovely place too.

[@SP-tr6qz]

Such an amazing makeover and so aesthetically pleasing 😍😍😍

[@LisaNYC70]

Gorgeous! Excellent use of space. I love the tile on the bathroom floor, but then again, I love everything you have done with the entire flat. It makes the room appear bigger. Thank you for sharing.

[@skyeali1]

Gorgeous space. I just love the mirrored tiles in the kitchen!

[@SuperDogBiscuits]

What I really love about your KZbin video style is that you're so concise when you talk! Some other beauty vloggers ramble on loads so their videos are like 20 mins long sometimes!! I love you and your apartment fleur keep up the good work!!! Xxxx

[@eileenthescientist]

Fleur, the apartment looks amazing!!! I'm super inspired xxx

[@taylorhobson7100]

What a makeover! So beautiful! All your choices are absolutely perfect

[@Veronica1944]

I love that you like simple filming backgrounds. It seems like some less mature vloggers try to cram as much cheap crap as they can find for their background and it turns me off. Love the apartment as well! You've always had great taste/style.

[@alisonrawnsley11]

Flat looks beautiful. What a transformation! You really have an eye for design. Great inspiration! Thank you xx

[@DylanTalksMoney]

Her apartment/Studio is so nice! Studio Goals LOL 😂

[@ziannara]

Congrats girl! Your appartment is beautiful!! So nice you share it with us! Thanks!!

[@laurastark5544]

I love the apartment, it looks gorgeous and so bright! Where can I find the bomber jacket fleur is wearing? I've been trying to find one like this for a while now.

[@FleurDeForce]

+Laura Stark Thank you! The jacket is from new look

[@laurastark5544]

+Fleur DeForce Thank you for answering so quickly!

[@MissDice0007]

It looks fabulous, Fleur! I love that y'all moved the kitchen and bath to create a more open space! Congrats on getting it finished!

[@primadonnabella6261]

Can I hire you to redo my appartment ?! 😂 you always do amazing and I love it 😍😍

[@OStarstarstar]

+Primadonna Bella sameeee lol!

[@NatashaSummer]

Looks awesome Fleur...if you ever get bored with beauty then interior design is calling you ⭐️ loved what you have done with your space...what a gorgeous home away from home X

[@ohyummyitspauly]

Love the renovation videos!! Keep em coming

[@ButterflySamurai]

this is such GOALS. I have gotten so many design inspirations from this space. Its beautiful, airy, and quite minimalistic which i love.

[@ellenandmoon]

wow...what a huge change to this apartment.

[@Diorella_scent]

Absolutely gorgeous Fleur. The flat is really well done, congratulations!

[@triciacam2223]

I love the flat. Did you do all the interior design yourself because if you did then you really are awesome at it. I love everything you did it's beautiful

[@ann5joey]

You're really talented and decorating is another proof of it, i really love all your home tour videos, please never stop sharing this kind of content with us. You're still one my fav youtubers since years ago, i love how down to earth you are, never change that. Greetings and love ☺

[@YuanQ]

Omg i love it! its so clean and chic looking!

[@whatgemdoes]

You did a fab job Fleur, the flat looks fantastic!! xxx

[@rachelheath9352]

This is such a gorgeous set up of the apartment!!! xx 💕

[@amyklesel7312]

I loved the entire renovation,especially the mirrored backsplash in the kitchen and the antique mirrors. First time I've seen either and I'm in love with them! Thanks for sharing!

[@SirisLife]

The place looks so amazing! You did such a great job!!

[@autumnkinz]

I always love your decorating choices, Fleur. the spaces always seem comfortable and organic. love the bright pops of color!

[@OzgeOlcay]

omg those mirrors are the prettiest things ever *drools*

[@lorewatches]

OMG Fleur! You did magic with that place! It's absolutely dreamy!

[@hereshopingforfame]

This place is gorgeous!!! Switching the kitchen and bathroom was genius. I wish I had vision like that. Everything looks so bright and lovely. Only bummer was it looks like you weren't able to keep the washing machine. I wouldn't be able to live without it. :(

[@FleurDeForce]

+Candy The washing machine is actually now under the stairs! I got one of those smaller sized ones and it fits perfectly! :)

[@hereshopingforfame]

+Fleur DeForce Oh that's brilliant! Then it won't take up any of the living space. Well, then yeah, your place is perfect. :)

[@galady8632]

Candy ... I have no concept of London's property values but I think the value of her 1 bedroom flat at least doubled with the stylish renovation. I cannot fathom why anyone would situate a bathroom directly across from the only entrance to a flat. Fabulous design Fleur.

[@rosecolouredglasses]

Yesss! More home videos, please. The old kitchen couldn't have been that old, the counter tops and appliances were in great condition and the farmhouse sink was definitely a new addition.

[@McCloskeyYvonne]

I was looking forward to this video for months! By any chance do you know where the shower tiles and shower head are from? You done a great job making the flat homely as well as stylish!

[@FleurDeForce]

+Yvonne Mccloskey The tiles are from Topps tiles and the shower head is from Walton Bathrooms xx

[@McCloskeyYvonne]

+Fleur DeForce thanks, love your channel and its great to see how all of your hard work on the channel has paid off!

[@gillyfranklin1550]

Is that also where the bathroom floor tiles are from?

[@ToriBreen]

Omg I'm in love 😻

[@wandaann9755]

the space is beautiful. everything looks so good and the before shots proved it to be.

[@lizcat]

Where is your floral jacket from?. It's really pretty.

[@Kbydfrsghusy]

She said new look in a previous comment

[@gottus2]

Love it so much! Everything is gorgeous. The kitchen backsplash is to die for. It's all just beautiful!

[@watsup8906]

love the apartment but I need to warn you that you need to take your perfumes off the window sill because sunlight tarnishes them they are better in a drawer or cuboard but if you have to display them then put them out away from windows and sunlight I would hate to think all your lovely expensive purfumes went bad x

[@EEN63]

Such a lovely transformation! Thank you so much for sharing the details with us. I'm anxiously awaiting all the new and exciting changes you're making in your home.

[@eviozyra6300]

You didnt show us the two big hanging lamps? They are gorgeous!! :)

[@tarawasserstein]

She linked them in the downbar. They're stunning!

[@beautylife0186]

Wow I'm impressed on the transformation!! looks beautiful!

[@catielouise4932]

it looks so so beautiful! wow I can't believe how much it changed, you really did a great job! there is so much more light now and everything fits together perfectly!

[@LindsayXo]

Gaaaawwww GIMMIE your home decor!!! 🙌😍

[@smjonesy1]

It looks absolutely fabulous Fleur! Clever use of space!

[@lakalie19]

That feeling when youre still living at home and cant even afford to rent a place thats a fraction as nice as this.

[@czechyrslf]

your apartment is a DREAM! Fantastic job with the renovation and decor.

[@taylorrspeaking]

That backsplash omg 😍 love

[@marisolpadilla3871]

Beautiful! Great job on the layout! I especially love the backsplash in the kitchen and the floor tile in the bathroom!!!

[@AODlover]

No fridge before or after..where do you store food or drinks?

[@SimplySuzy33]

I'm guessing one of the kitchen cupboards is a built in fridge? But I didn't see a washing machine in the After either xD

[@Helvetica09]

+Simply Suzy there probably isn't a washing machine since she only stays there for a few days and then goes back. It is just a more convenient version to staying in hotels constantly

[@MsMarzili]

+Simply Suzy in european kitchens the fridge and the washingmashine is usually built in. So you don't see it, when the door is closef

[@SimplySuzy33]

+MsMarzili Hehe, I'm Dutch ;) The fridge is often built in, but the washing machine is usually in a storage cupboard or in the bathroom. If they ever wanna sell the flat, I hope there is at least a connection somewhere xD

[@amytaylor8126]

+Simply Suzy washing machine in the bathroom? I've never seen such a thing!

[@LauraNeuzeth]

You did such a beautiful job renovating that apartment! It looks stunning and I love the size so much.

[@christiepowell6129]

The flat she has in London 'Just for filming' is bigger than the flat I rent in Newcastle to live in

[@ariahynes7760]

The space is gorgeous ,Fleur love that you designed it yourself !

[@Stephanie-yu4cn]

It's such a shame you've spent so much and made the flat look so beautiful, yet no one really lives there 😢

[@sarieheartsfashion]

Fleur is there almost every week and usually stays a couple days

[@samanthaguynn7576]

She's there at least once a week and even if she wasn't, purchasing property is always a smart investment. If they ever gets tired of the flat, they can rent it out or sell it for a lot more than they initially paid for it.

[@annaly3]

so where does she live?

[@stefaniemedina14]

+Anna Ly in the suburbs of London

[@ruthgoddard6539]

@@sarieheartsfashion you must be wealthy. Most people are blessed to just have one home. And some only a small one at that.the place is buautiful.but your attatude makws me sick.

[@bexsee]

Definitely a fantastic idea to switch the bathroom and kitchen, it has made a world of difference! Plus makes the bathroom more private than a central position. Great job!

[@MissClaudiatjee]

Do you have two houses?

[@mauren3]

+Claudia de Koning She has a house outside London and a flat/apartment in London for when she has a lot of meetings and things. :)

[@sallycinnamon4]

Did you even watch the video? She explained right at the start!

[@paigeadkins1]

Wow! What an incredible transformation! I love how you made it so much more bright and open! I also think your mixture of chic and more rustic pieces are quite balanced. Very lovely!

[@MissPirate29]

Such a feminine apartment! It's very you, I love it!

[@petrificustotalus1332]

I don't understand why Fleur's channel grows so slow, she deserves much more!!

[@LynneUK1]

You should do a book on interior design, you have impeccable taste.

[@GinnyLantern]

Fleur, you have such a wonderful eye for style. The flat is just gorgeous and you have done a great job indeed. You certainly would have increased the property's value. Hope you will be very happy and even more successful in this space. Very, very beautiful.

[@Eirinakib13]

the awkward moment when fleurs "second" home is like double than my studio :P hahah I loved the tour it looks super pretty!

[@FrannyLuvsAll]

Gorgeous! I'm really amazed by how much vision you had to take the existing loft and create this stellar transformation! It's beautiful and very aesthetically pleasing!

[@mini0001]

Wow you can really see why you tubers hide their wealth from the ridiculously jealous comments on this video. This is actually a practical business decision that they made, the people who think this is "obscene" should see those who rent hotel rooms for $50000 plus a night just for fun

[@annabanana771]

Wow you did a great job renovating and decorating this apartment!

[@elliem9460]

You must have a shit tonne of money to renovate both a large main house and another in London at the same time!!

[@noannellesky9360]

+Ellie M From what I've read elsewhere both her and Mike's family are wealthy and both Mike and her are super hard workers with good paying jobs. Both of those things also mean they should be able to easily get loans from banks. It makes sense. Plus, the flat is for professional purposes so it seems worth it, doesn't it?

[@susalkasarahi]

+Noannelle Sky also I don't know how it works in the UK but in the US, she could claim the flat as a work expense tax credit

[@elliem9460]

+Noannelle Sky not saying it's a negative thing, i'm sure we'd all love to be able to do that

[@sandramike5486]

I think she earned alot of money from doing youtube all these years, like all other KZbinrs, and wanted to invest that money into property. Thinking about it, it's actually a smart idea.

[@merryweather17]

Surely it'd be quicker and cheaper to just get a year train ticket thing 🙈

[@ViolinistYevgeniya]

I absolutely love your interior designs, they're actually my favourite sources of inspiration and pick-me-up videos!!

[@jami-leemachado3597]

Is it weird that I like the old kitchen better then the new one? Haha

[@BecsFaves]

What a great idea to move the bathroom and kitchen. Makes complete sense now! Love your style

[@iHaTeSwEeTtEa]

I think it's funny that British people call that tile in the kitchen splash back and Americans call it backsplash

[@Claire-mp7tp]

Wow, an amazing transformation. I really enjoyed watching this.

[@sophieemily4287]

Designing your whole flat so it looks perfect on instagram ... what is the world coming to

[@fadumayassin2534]

or so you can be happy about the way your home looks and feels....

[@galady8632]

Sophie Maskill ... Thankfully the world, or at least Fleur's part of the world, is coming to smart business-minded people making wise decisions and supporting themselves in a style they can afford. They are not harming anyone and they are happy. And successful. I admire such creative and smart thinkers. No jealousy from me.

[@jennaclarkson3074]

loving the renovations, the mirrors in the lounge are are so beautiful!

[@bridgette151]

sorry but that's not a studio apartment. your bedroom would be in the kitchen and living room lol

[@Bogca111]

+kayla davis She didn't say it was a studio flat, she said it was her studio. As in work place.

[@EspressoLaine]

+kayla davis I believe she's referring to a filming studio, not a studio flat. :)

[@bridgette151]

Bogca111 oh i see now!

[@OhReallyClazza]

Such a BEAUTIFUL flat. Everything is so well picked out. I especially love the pink chair, your bed, and the painting in the bedroom :)

[@katb4532]

i would see myself banging my legs all over that coffee table! but it is really elegant!

[@jam6391]

It all looks so lovely - I really like that mirror splash back in the kitchen - very pretty.

[@lagunaluna5274]

I'm not judging fleur AT ALL. It's nice that she can afford these nice things and it's obvious she's worked hard and she never comes across as spoiled or ungrateful. However when I hear that this is a flat just sitting there for whenever she needs it here and there, I can't help but think of all those who are homeless and would treasure 1 home, let alone 2. Just makes me wish we lived in a country that helped it's needy out more. Particularly vulnerable people and veterans who have no home to go to. To me this just seems like a waste 😔

[@carrieandT]

Everything looks beautiful! I love that mirrored backsplash especially!!

[@Jess24706]

Oh please move the perfumes from the window! Heat and light will break down the quality 😢

[@mnx7244]

Beautiful flat!! Love that you guys renovated it. More renovation/decor videos please love them!!!

[@TobyMoraitis]

I think she is very good at what she does (beauty reviews) and I guess she spends a lot of time on her work, but there are people who work harder out there... People who work in restaurants, shops, law firms, cafés, etc. Even people who earn a lot but lead stressful lives cannot relate to someone who spends her days in a pretty flat like that researching lipsticks and perfumes. I think she should focus on contributing to the lives of her followers instead of showing off her own, even if it is well-intended.

[@avivamae5171]

If someone finds a way to make a good living doing what they truly love and actually find enjoyment in these is no reason to stop or change it. It's not really fair to say that others are working harder when you don't really know what goes into doing what she does. You need to think of it like a business, she has taken the risk and now has found success and has all of the business related responsibilities that go along with that. We don't tell other small business owners they don't deserve what they have because there are other people out there working "harder" so I see that as a pretty silly argument. Also what does that even mean "she should focus on contributing to the lives of her followers instead of showing off her own"? She has these particular followers because this is what they want to see, they searched for it, so if she had completely different content she probably wouldn't have the same followers. Anyways how could she "contribute to the[ir] lives" in a different way?... do you mean by giving to charity? If so that's her personal choice it's not for us to dictate it to her. What another person does with their OWN money is not any of our business unless it's illegal or maybe if it was unethical. The same goes for how a person chooses to make their money, it's really not our place to tell someone else how to how to live their life and what they should do for a living, we all make that choice for ourselves. As for "she should focus on contributing to the lives of her followers instead of showing off her own" I'd bet that many of her viewers would argue that she is contributing to their lives (just not in the way YOU want or expect). I can totally understand that her life may seem a bit foreign or even unattainable to people like you or someone like me who grew up pretty poor. But I would say that channels like hers do hold value, for example I'm a minimalist and I don't like to buy/own many things but I still enjoy looking at aesthetically pleasing things. Channels like this are nice for me because I can get the fix I want looking at pretty and/or expensive things and then I go on with my day. I get the enjoyment without having to spend any money! =) In our current market people are pushed to consume more and more and live well beyond their means so this is a nice way for me to completely get rid of that pressure. I'd say that's contributing to a viewers life in a pretty significant way in my opinion. I get to continue living my life as a minimalist and should I ever be tempted to purchase something I don't really need or actually want (just think I need/want) I know I have a handy way to cope with and resist that temptation (luckily that urge is pretty weak for me but I'm still human :p ). Let's be honest most women enjoy pretty things and our consumer culture constantly puts this pressure (both external and internal pressure) on us to buy this new thing with the false promise that it will bring us happiness. In reality most material possessions don't bring us that joy or fulfillment we were looking for. So even though I know that I can't afford many of the things I see or I won't buy them because of my personal values I still get to enjoy looking at something beautiful and get some enjoyment out of it. Also beauty reviews are really helpfull, they stop you from buying something you won't like. When ever I need a new beauty item I always check reviews so I get it right the first time around (saves me time, money and avoids a headache). Even if she wasn't giving me that bit of enjoyment or practical help, whatever she chooses to do with her life, money or KZbin channel is her choice and her choice alone and if you personally don't find anything of value in it then simply don't watch and contribute to her following, it's really that simple. She's not bragging and she's not doing anything wrong, she's just enjoying the fact that she's been lucky enough to find an unusual path to success and letting her viewers in on what her life looks like. She doesn't owe anyone anything, except showing appreciation to her viewers that have helped enable her success, which it seems she does. I think people that have a problem with her (or other KZbinrs) for showing their lives are actually a bit resentful and jealous that it's not them. Don't get me wrong I'm not saying you personally are resentful or jealous but people in general sometimes naturally feel that way and it's a bit depressing. I want everyone to be able to do what they truly love and I'm happy for those who are doing just that. Honestly that is a great message especially for younger women, it's good for them to see someone who has found a way to make doing what they really love (no matter what it is) actually work for them, it's quite an inspiration. Sorry that was so long, I saw a few messages similar to yours and thought they deserved a proper reply. It's nothing personal towards you, just my opinion. Have a good day! =)

[@shinamn]

Everything is so beautiful and so you! I love the light fixture in the bedroom!
