BEDROOM MAKEOVER PART TWO - HOW TO STYLE A BEDROOM ON A BUDGET

[@pageremick5504]

As an Interior Designer, may I make a suggestion? Take your throw and fold it so it is 1/3 the size of the length of your bed. Then put the throw at the end of the bed.... very much like a good hotel does. This is for you to put your feet on when you want to just lounge on your bed, plus it does break up the mass of the white. Also, I was very impressed with your eye for photography in your own personal book. Why not take some of those photos and frame a series of them for your bedroom, OR take photos of vistas in some of Edinburgh's parks that have a lot of green so that it compliments your bedroom? Photos, rather than art might give you the more modern touch you are looking for, plus, it would be YOUR photos! One last touch would be some brass: maybe a bowl or candlesticks if you get a small tea table for your settee at the end of your bed. Otherwise, you have a wonderful start and I know it will be a joy to live in and complete over the years. Good job! Thanks for sharing.

[@janetclaireSays]

Maybe a brass singing bowl set if Nicolas is into that sort of thing!

[@Barb6106]

Love your ideas!

[@odilegabayengel4192]

I was thinking the same ! I am not an interior designer but I get inspiration from now and there which I like and have implemented the bottom of the bed throw blanket, which totally change the look of my bedroom…

[@planetissa4899]

Love the idea of his photos being framed for the bedroom, especially with green nature pictures.

[@piano56781]

Nicolas is an interior designer. It will be beautiful

[@patrician7445]

Enjoyed your tour very much, of course. I loved your home the first time I saw it, and I also like your new direction. The hall would be pretty with the William Morris wallpaper I've seen on Amazon. I'd add a console bookshelf or table with a pretty lamp (maybe crystal) , a sculpture, and perhaps a bit of variegated greenery. On the wall I'd have a mirror to reflect more light, perhaps with pictures alongside or maybe just a large, colorful modern painting or an arrangement of pretty plates. Whatever you do, it will be a success! Thank you so much for sharing with us. It's always such a pleasure!

[@mehitabel6564]

Your choice of green is excellent, it creates something enfolding and cocooning, as well as soothing and restful.

[@sharnjitsharonlalli212]

Just discovered your channel you’re absolutely brilliant and your voice vlogs and music and decoration and tours of beautiful places and the calming music along with it makes me feel utter relaxation and joy thank you love 💖💗🤗😘😍👍💐💖💖💖💖💖🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

[@martymasden2737]

Stunning start Nicolas, the lamps and billows, etc.👍💕Love what you've done. Thank you for sharing. Best Wishes.

[@edramirez1240]

You have elegant aesthetic. I really like the tufted headboard and the amber glass lamps.

[@DianneC8287]

This is something that is so simply that I look forward to at the end of your videos, and I hope you’ll continue to do. When you tell us you hope we’ve enjoyed your video and you give us a hint for the next one, you say, “Bye-bye”🤗 💜 I like that! When you don’t, I’m like, “Oh rats, he forgot, lol! Hey, what can I say, it’s the simple things for me😊 I’m new to your channel so I’ve been binge watching, and enjoying myself.

[@Barb6106]

Another wonderful video. I’m in California, dealing with pouring rain and raging winds.. perfect day to watch someone shop, decorate and bake!!😍❤️ I liked the comment by Page Remick who suggested your photography for your bedroom. You have talent and why not surround yourself with some of those gorgeous locations. You can have some enlarged to really make a statement! ❤️ I’m obsessed with the paint color! Divine.

[@robertdunbar2434]

Nicolas, thank you for another relaxing and enjoyable video. Making gradual changes on a limited budget is inspirational. I never thought about using "texture" as a design style, but I see how it works in a room. Your engaging and inviting style keeps viewers coming back for more. On a snowy, cold, and bleak day in New York City, you brought warmth and encouragement for new beginnings this spring. God bless, Robert.

[@LeilaSoleil]

This room is so lovely and serene, and I cannot wait to make the almond loaf.

Hi Nicolas from the USA. Just recently discovered your channel. You're such a wonderful young man who has a calming spirit. Enjoy watching you and getting great ideas. Stay well. 😊

Nicolas hi from Puerto Rico everything look beautiful.I enjoy shopping with you . Have excellent week.

[@rebeccabourque7704]

I love all of it, but I especially love the two lamps.

[@NicolasFairford]

Glad you like them as much as I do!

[@margiemayhew5214]

And now I’m hungry! Thank you Nicolas for sharing your recipe and showing your beautiful updated bedroom.

[@NicolasFairford]

My pleasure!

[@craftyskyladycreativetimew9090]

Oh Nicolas, as always, this video does not disappoint! Love what you are doing with your bedroom do-over and so impressed with keeping to a budget! Most recently, I have started creating small area rag rugs on a handmade wooden loom and I get all my fabric from clothing at our local thrift stores. It is so relaxing to weave these rugs and quite honestly, they have the best look because they are unique and also very trending on the decorating scene right now. I learned all about creating the loom and weaving all from KZbin videos! Your almond cake looks scrumptious! Thanks again for your calming and interesting videos!

[@carolynfettes1785]

Really enjoyed this video. I am also an interior designer and Feng Shui consultant in Australia and have learnt so much from you. I like your idea of introducing some red into your bedroom. Your recipe and ensuing cake looked divine and I enjoyed having more close ups of your baking and explanation as you go. We are all learning from you. Thank you so much Nicolas for your time and inclusiveness. It makes everyone feel welcome in your community. Carolyn

[@NicolasFairford]

Such a lovely comment - thank you so much!

[@julieginn2822]

The labels for your teas and candles are stunning and so elegant. That print really makes it special.

Hello Nicolas, your room is really beautiful. I also like to take time to do things well. Thanks for the cake recipe! 👌Your videos make me feel good 😘🥰

Love the bolster cushions! Adds an excellent pop. I enjoy watching your process.

[@50hellkat2]

You really pulled it all together. Wow. Impressive and inspirational.

[@NicolasFairford]

Thank you SO much! So happy you liked it x

[@ladysparkymartin]

You slipcovered the sofa! Nice. It’s probably cliche but also true as I’ve seen it: every room needs a pop of red/orange and a bit of black as an anchor. I think a rug with some of those would be really nice. 😊

[@NicolasFairford]

I agree wholeheartedly!

[@dorafernandez1412]

Your bedroom looks serene,beautiful, and elegant. Congratulations! Will be making the almond loaf this weekend! Thank you.

[@lianecornils6603]

I love the color you chose for the wall. The lamps look perfect in every way. A truly lovely room.

[@katherinefuller5267]

I love the lamps. I just bought a freestanding lamp with a glass shade for my office. I love the use of glass in new and unexpected ways in design right now.

Your floral lamps are still so stunning and I remember how you styled your living area years ago with them, fun memories. New restyled bedroom looks amazing.

It's always nice to hear that people like you have followed along for the journey! Thank you!

[@cindyhalpern3187]

I like how you address low cost improvements! So more of us can work on our style!

[@NicolasFairford]

Glad this was useful! x

[@EEN63]

I love that you framed a print of your botanicals and have more to offer! I agree that two would be better suited above the bed. If your botanical prints don’t end up in your bedroom I do hope they will be hung in a special place that is a reminder of all you have accomplished! The artwork on your products are so lovely! Your bedroom is really coming along! I hope you decide to add a rug, as layering and additional texture would be nice! Whether it has bolder reds or is more in the muted greens, creams and smokey golds, a bit of pattern will add a bit of cozy. 😍🥰😍

[@NicolasFairford]

Thanks so much! Definitely going to find some nice rugs!

I am endlessly telling people to hide their cords. In a previous comment, I left a link to cord covers. It is a game changer. Everything looks beautiful - good on you!

[@margaretmaryyoung6991]

Hi Nicolas! Beautiful job! from Long Island, NY. 🇺🇸

[@petalparker5]

Yes definitely, a traditional rug with red, green and gold would add depth and richness to the scheme. Also coloured throw or quilt across the end of the bed. A painting above the bed bringing in all the colours would look great I think.

[@virginiaboone9503]

I was going to say, Turkish rugs in those colors would be the perfect addition.

[@NicolasFairford]

Definitely!

[@petalparker5]

Beautiful choices. I really love the lamps. I am not a big fan of a large plain white comforter cover - it's a big white blank shap but that's a personal choice. Lovely job. That loaf looks scrumptious!

Love the colors in the cushions.The lamps also make a statement .

[@bushrabashir6745]

Very beautiful to watch this video have a wonderful weekend

[@evelynstrand1230]

Nicolas, I so love your calmness. Sneaking a peak from work to watch you video 😊 As for your bedroom, I’d pass on the pink floral print. It would be a stark clash with the muted tones of the room. The print is lovely though. As for a picture above the bed…may I suggest an ocean scene done in sepia tones with a white wash gold tone frame.Something along that way. Adding some greenery, like a tall tree/plant to the right of the bed. It could be a faux one (some great quality ones out there). You could also set a tall rectangle mirror behind each lamp on the bedside tables to reflect light. Love you headboard ❤️ What a big change a couple new lamps/pillows can do for a room and one’s mood👍🏼 Have a wonderful day and loads of love from Vancouver 🇨🇦 Canada

[@Charlie.TheChatRoom]

Hey Nick, just wanted to drop by and say that your bedroom looks stunning after the spruce-up! I am in love with the new color scheme and how everything is so well organized. The greenery and decor accents give the space a fresh and lively vibe. You've done an amazing job transforming the room with just a few changes. Keep up the good work!

[@marthajones586]

Another pillow in the middle, in front of the two pillows, I think would give it a three dimensional appearance and also add a little darker green throw across the bed. I Love that you put the throw over the arm of your chair. It gives such character and depth and I adore your headboard and pillows. Looking forward to seeing your updates for your bedroom.😍

I love everything almond! Tea, soap, extract anything. Love your channel, I find it calming and very much all of the things I like to do.

[@maryann6884]

Hi Nicholas, Love your print. Two over the bed would look lovely. To warm things up, I believe a dull gold, or bronze toned frame would really punch it up. And simple line like the white frame would keep masculine look. Loved the texture and green in your pillows. That shape looks much more generous in a big bed, too. Lovely job👍
