I Made My Apartment Living Room Into a Dark Boho + Maximalism Oasis 🖤

[@ModaMisfit]

Thank you for watching! What do you think I should do styling-wise with that empty spot I pointed out? Any ideas? 😊

[@alvitajackson5306]

Everything looks great! I would put a really Tall, full leaved tree(Greenery) in that space when you move the chair♥️

[@Lucy-xy6ww]

Nice cabinet for extra storage on that empty space, one to match the TV console. Open shelving still adding the kitty chair.🤷🏽‍♀️

[@katecarnac1440]

great ideas already shared ! I love the kitty chair by the mirror if it fits. Just my opinion but the pillows on the couch are fighting with the wallpaper behind it. Totally different vibes. I'd love to see something more baroque/dark academia feeling for pillows.

[@sosexymagazinerobinwatkins8467]

What about an oblong art piece that features that phenomenal wallpaper but just shaped a different way on that wall. Maybe something from floor to ceiling that is slim.

[@mrsSema1996]

black wall with gold different shaped pictures, maybe horns, beetles, dragon-fly or butterflys and round mirrors to play with shapes

[@WallsRepublic-US]

Wow, what an incredible transformation! Your apartment living room looks absolutely stunning as a dark boho and maximalism oasis. The blend of rich, moody tones with eclectic patterns and textures creates such a cozy and inviting atmosphere.

[@ModaMisfit]

Thank you so much!

[@katecarnac1440]

I love how you demonstrate that it takes time for a space to become your own. it is great how you re-purpose your own belongings first and don't run out and buy new things which shows us that our belongings tell our story. Each stage of the process has been a part of the healing process as well! I love the phrase "get your head straight before you get your home straight". The way you share the personal story behind your journey is so moving. I am sure many of your viewers, myself included, have gone through similar life events and your story has helped so many. Thanks for sharing that messy but lovely process.

[@Polly1589]

In the corner of the empty space I suggest a big cat tree up to the ceiling 😍

[@geetanegi2246]

Kitty chair next to the mirror and the basket with the blanket in the empty space.

[@rocioiribe5841]

Bingo! Was gonna say that

[@katecarnac1440]

agree !

[@ExLibris-Alys]

Yep 👍🏻

[@jsmith5509]

Love the changes! The wallpaper makes the room seem more "finished".

[@Mina_Loyal]

The sofa is fabulous! Your place is lovely. Las Vegas rent has tripled. We were living in a beautiful 4 bedroom 2 car garage in a gated community for 7 years. The pandemic hit... We now live a very small apartment for the same price. I was really depressed with having to let go of my beautiful, large sectional, and most of my belongings. My style went from contemporary modern to boho mid century modern. You've given me some more ideas! Thank you for posting.

[@patriciaapo3698]

Upholstered Bench for "no mans land" would be useful in so many ways and would look beautiful.

[@bree8150]

That wallpaper has transformed your living room it’s gorgeous! ❤

[@ModaMisfit]

I think so too! Thank you!

[@rocioiribe5841]

Kinda wished we'd gotten a vlog of you putting up the wallpaper. I had my doubts about the wallpaper but you nailed it. It truly anchors the space. It's like the wallpaper is the backbone of your living room now

[@ModaMisfit]

Thank you! And I didn’t end up vlogging the process because I did that in this video when we put up the wallpaper in the last apartment: kzbin.info/www/bejne/iZa8eWN6qs6jebMsi=bzAWT5jUk6Lf8TKl I felt like it would have basically been the same content as that video. Plus, I have to admit… vlogging makes the wallpapering process sooo much longer and I really just wanted to get it done 😅

[@hesherette]

it looks so amazing, i love it! the evolution of your apartment is matching the healing journey you've been on! give helo some snuggles from a cat lady in socal :)

[@ModaMisfit]

Snuggles received! 😺

[@Jennifer-nz2ss]

Ok, I want that grey armchair. Send to TX. ASAP! Lol😊

[@rocioiribe5841]

More thoughts, I commented in another video but i think curtains would really tie everything together. The swooping lamp that is by your couch would look better in that empty space by the tv. It holds such a large footprint visually. And there's something about it by your couch that blocks the flow and view of your wallpaper

[@Laura-rx9mp]

Steffi, how about a larger jute rug under the pretty living rug? It can cover more floor space and you can worth weird angle nicely since it won't be too noticeable (being neutral and all). It looks fabulous in there!!!! You did good. A smaller mid century chair may work in the empty space? Cheers

[@ksk881]

I love ALL of your final (?) choices. Love the couch, the rug, the desk area, the wallpaper... everything! I'm interested in what you'll do with the blank space. Your ideas are so gorgeous.

[@DeloresLowndes]

That rug plays nicely with the little table behind the couch.

[@abigailh7715]

The wallpaper is so dreamy! I's never leave his cozy dark oasis!

[@StillPointJourneywithMarla]

The wallpaper!!!! Omg you nailed it!!! Loving all of the moodiness and pretties!!

[@iamjane9628]

Your apartment is stunning. That wallpaper is killer! I am glad you bought it again for your new place.

[@Androgynary]

Would that chair you’re getting rid of possibly work in that corner where the blanket basket is? Maybe it could replace it, or would it be too big?

[@lisacamilleri211]

Super glad you were able to find a place for that wallpaper. It looks awesome.

[@Gabrielle499]

Beautiful!!! 🖤 I would put the faux tree on that wall beside the TV unit.

[@debrawalters9746]

Love, love the wallpaper with your couch ❤ Since you asked, I’d put another tall mirror on the right side of the tv. Then put that beautiful chair in front of it. That way you have another view of the wallpaper. It would be beautiful ❤️

[@alifetime360]

I love your sofa and the wallpaper is amazing!! Thank you for sharing with us!

[@charlottestinson]

Hi Steffi, Love how your apartment is coming together and love, love the wall paper! Would you still be able to see the wall paper if you moved the mirror to the empty space on the wall? With it being there you could also use it as a check yourself before heading out the door space. Then move the chair where the mirror/blanket basket is? Making it Helo's little corner and additional seating if needed? Just a thought.😊 Happy Easter!

[@amyfaurote1488]

I love it. Sorry about the break up. Peace 🕊️

[@sharonmcbride2374]

MAGNIFICENT!

[@laurarobbins5155]

Love Love Love! Try the chair next to the mirror. xo

[@michelledee2586]

Maybe a small bookcase styled with a few books and things. A vertical one , a few plants and photos of Helo.

[@lyndaivey9363]

Gorgeous! Love the wallpaper, the table, the couch and the masterpiece that is Hilo.

[@sheilacirioni4676]

Do you have a book shelf for knickknacks,plants,books ,or a barcart?😊

[@crzyATEcupcake]

You've inspired me. Definitely getting a bold patterned peel and stick wallpaper now.

[@ModaMisfit]

Yay!!!

[@karenboyd8823]

I am loving this!!! I too have a small living space and am extremely dissatisfied with the look and feel of it at the moment. You have captured my style to perfection!!! I’m more inspired now to just go for it!! Thank you for this update. I enjoy following you.

[@ModaMisfit]

Thank you so much!!!

[@jacquig1939]

With the mirror change/you removing art the before looked cluttered and I didn't even realize that until you had the side by side b/a photos. I definitely like the after better I'm still scrambled with my living room but I'm stuck in too many ideas. I think I need to just try something and see what sticks

[@mollierocket705]

Love love love love 🖤💛🖤

[@HelenLong-c8m]

I would carry on round the room with the wallpaper and put a big plant in the space where the chair was

[@dque_2U]

I LOVE the idea of a " Vision " for any space. ( but especially a small studio). Because...lack of space should be tempered by Comfort/Functionality. I wanted My space to look like an Artist Studio...but Gallery also.. ( Your Channel gave Me some tools to achieve [ in process]...My LOVE for My own space.

[@katieholsinger645]

Right on Steffie! Iy looks fantastic! What a massive difference!

[@esq321]

Maybe a bench to sit put on shoes, etc in a beautiful ornate dark fabric, or maybe a tall woof and black pipes shelf unit, it will give a visual division. IMO. Anyway, beautiful apartment, love your style❤ Hellos! Saludos from Puerto Rico. We have similar taste, but I have a house and it’s so much harder to decorate in that style. My bedroom is like that, and I do have a black accent wall in my foyer and some crystals. But I have double height wall with skylight in my living room and they are very intimidating to change color. Right now they are white, but do have some big art. Don’t watching videos to get inspiration. Thank you for your videos!

[@aprilsunflower7440]

Looks very cozy and homey.

[@indiasimone6645]

Hello Steffi and Hilo,your apartment is really looking beautiful., Gallery Wall, to show your beautiful art and to balance the height of the mirror on the other side💎🖤

[@KO-D00M]

You might consider rug layering to compensate for the current small (but obviously suitable color-wise) rug. I think multiple rugs that work well together has the potential to suit your style well.

[@candeeellis282]

Steffi- it's beautiful brings put all the beauty of the room

[@quentin-_-99]

Beautiful The art work is fantastic

[@donnabacon4681]

Stunning! Love the wallpaper fer shure!!!

[@ModaMisfit]

Thanks so much!

[@tinalundy7858]

You seem to be in a good place now and it reflects in your home that's well deserved and by the way how about a round rug yes no maybe either way your shinning again!

[@beausmith717]

i think you should put a bookshelf in that area. Not anything heavy or bulky but a nice open bookshelf would work.

[@tamifayette]

Your place is fabulous. Love love love! Hi, Helo!

[@CeeLeeLEMT]

The wallpaper looks fabulous!!! What about a second TV console - pretending it is one long piece?.

[@ModaMisfit]

I’ve actually considered that! I’d love for this media console to be double the size 😊

[@romana34]

Don’t know if you still need suggestions for the spot next to the TV, a little late to the party😛. I would go with maybe a gallery wall and a bench, and one that can have storage with it.

[@traceycrawford9938]

I hope you keep the kitty chair!

[@PammiePoo74]

I love it. It looks so good with that wallpaper. I don't mind a chair in that space, but perhaps a different style of chair or go with something bold (but less bold than the wallpaper) vertically on the wall. Speaking of vertically on a wall, I ADORE the black pieces you had behind your office area in your studio. What are those panels or where are they from?

[@camilacoya]

YES!

[@cherylgrace2744]

Your apartment is absolutely gorgeous

[@ModaMisfit]

Thank you so much!

[@GradKat]

The new wallpaper is beautiful. One thing in the room which needs to go, in my opinion, is the wallhanging with the flowers above the armchair. It’s just too much, it doesn’t match anything, and it makes that corner look crowded. It’s not necessary to put something on every blank wall - a tip someone gave me years ago and which I have found invaluable.

[@rocioiribe5841]

I think it's also b/c the blanket basket and the Cherry blossom base, that corner can't breathe

[@ritahertzberg5762]

Stunning!

[@ModaMisfit]

Thank you! 😊

[@CeeCee630]

Absolutely stunning!

[@karenboyd8823]

What about some sort of floating wall shelving in that voided wall space? Hung vertically or maybe even staggered? Something wood w/live edges?🤷🏾‍♀️

[@dianasalas255]

I love it the chair I really like it also but not the vase great job

[@jadedgirl37]

Love it. What I need to know if how to get used to /joy from living alone. I hate it. I’m a new single empty nester and I have been very depressed/ crying a lot. How do you get used to this?

[@Rosie-g4r]

I love that black table in front of the papered wall. Wherw did you get it?

[@karin9373]

Love it!

[@mrsSema1996]

love your content!! I just moved in a house, many rooms to decorate and its quite overwelming.. its hard to combine space age, gothic, dark academia and "country" house cottage. i have a small room with a small window, also very twisted. Thinking about a dark guest room with my pc in it. Do you have any tips?

[@prestigousbabe]

I feel like the mirror could be where the empty space of wall is? Not sure if it would work because I don’t know how the space is in person.

[@saraw8503]

If boyfriend takes back desk, I would love to see a painted upright Secretary in that space.

[@derickajohnson4021]

I remember your stating you made those pictures over your TV years ago , can you tell me how to get those i really like them and want this over my record player

[@liisaking1247]

I understand you don't want the armchair there but I'm concerned that Helo will be unhappy if the chair goes bye-bye. It's been Helo's spot since you were in the studio, right? Have you considered moving the armchair to where you put the blanket basket? The chair should also block most of the wires, and you could potentially put the basket where the chair used to be. (I'd put the sparkly pillow back on the chair too.) If you *don't* use the chair in this apartment, could it go to your folks' place? You might find that you want it back at a later date.

[@ModaMisfit]

Yeah I’m probably going to end up keeping it at my parents’ house. You’re right, it’d be a shame to say goodbye to it!

[@GwenMenz-c5d]

how about a nice bookshelf in the empty space?

[@mslee3596]

I'm sure it's too late for my input. Still my thought is this. The chair could 100% face from the kitchen to the hall. Come in, sit down, take off your shoes. We don't wear shoes inside. Always looking for such a space. Could it possibly go under Beck and the little table be in the edge of the kitchen space?

[@rjpender70]

Yes! No beige thank you

[@shariauger2372]

try layering an organic shape rug with your smaller rug see what happens

[@margeeeeS]

Hi Steffi, love love the wallpaper on the living room wall. Maybe get rid of your ex's desk and put Milos chair there. Get rid of the tall grass and replace it with the tall faux tree.

[@abigailh7715]

You have such sweet, kind eyes. You remind me so much of Emelyne Mead on SweetEmelyne's channel and Our Little Nest channel. You could be twins. Beautiful muses.

[@robinjones1955]

Where the kitty chair was... i would add a tall black metal and warm wood stepped back shelving unit... you need something tall to the right of tv.. you can place some art anf decorative pieces and even some books? You knowwhat shelving unitim talking about? Theshelvesstep back and get smaller the higheryou go..

[@TapAgain65]

How about placing a two armed chaise lounge there instead of the chair....and of course some nice throw pillows.

[@angelalong6740]

Im thinking another mirror might work in that corner 🤔

[@deniselinton5803]

Lose the fuzzy grass and the vase, in it's place, replace the chair with something that makes a statement like another piece of furniture that can used for seating and storage.😊

[@tallblonde1976]

Love the wallpaper, not a fan of dried flowers/grass. Maybe one is ok.

[@theemarydee1610]

You actually do not have any black or dark gray on the opposite wall of the wallpaper. The color of mirror frame is too warm next to credenza. The mirror could go in the armchair space ‘as was’, though you could use peel and stick wallpaper to the mirror frame…a thick stripe of black and white or cream. With the mirror moved, the blanket basket with pillow will now occupy that corner without competing for space.

[@beccagray831]

move the desk there, put the chair where the desk was. :)

[@renatacagno961]

a bookshelf would fit well there but I'm sure you did it already

[@ModaMisfit]

I'm considering a bookshelf, or maybe floating shelves! Still haven't figured it out haha

[@bonitastjulienlepauvre6489]

I just found your channel today and like most of your examples, but I respectfully criticize one thing: it's your cabinet under your television. It has that sore thumb look--too light and too modern for the lovely mix of everything else.

[@ModaMisfit]

I agree actually! I have a new one on the way that’s much more my style 😊

[@alexiarose7356]

A wallpaper is a nice idea but is too dark.Also the rug is too small and dark too, which make your space look smaller!!

[@MollyCutie]

It's pretty but that rug is pitifully small - maybe try a large round-shaped rug.

[@ModaMisfit]

Haha yeah it was pitifully small for sure. I experimented with quite a few rugs in here, but I finally found one I like! You can see it in this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oKnGhKOnmcSJhNU
