Pastel-Scandi Style Living Room + Home Office + Dining Room Makeover

[@geraldinex3_]

The layout change for this truly truly made all the difference! Using the sofa to divide the living area and the work area was genius, it made the rooms look separate even though it’s all 1 giant room. This was beautiful!

This is one of my favorite reveals. Not my personal style, but you really accomplished what you set out to, and the client seemed so happy. Thanks for brightening the internet week after week!

[@andilea6018]

Same!! It’s beautiful

[@pamelastapleton2667]

Yes, this one is a favorite. Really, really lovely.

[@janetboette7013]

Ok, moving the bookcase and adding arch was so worth it! Love the hidden kitty litter box hacks. Made my Saturday!

[@lisahuber9329]

one thing I'd change about the shelves is taking part above the arch cut out all the way up to the ceiling to make them look like a part of the room's architecture

[@user-ed7et3pb4o]

@@lisahuber9329 same, they could've added the billy extensions to lengthen the shelves

[@TaraTV18]

Graham is the best addition to this team! He’s so talented and so sweet 😊 11/10

[@conniesisco6468]

The camera work on these reveals is just amazing! Also, I hope Graham makes a lot of money because since he came on board, these makeovers are so professional looking.

[@Aleph-Noll]

yeah looks like he really took things up a notch when it comes to the professionalism of the handywork

[@minimini550]

Funny thing: most scandi homes aren’t the monochrome white-beige that the internet calls “scandi”, they’re wayyy closer to this 😊 either pastels or strong colours evenly spread out across the typical simple Scandinavian silhouette

[@theresabu3000]

I think it looked really good - the pastel, light wood and whites work well together. I personally would have preferred the living room next to the dining nook. Maybe a modular corner solution that faces the windows. But that's personal preference - when and where you want to have a look outside and more natural light. The way it's now is pretty cozy, but too focused on the TV I feel. For painting on this desk - this placement makes more sense.

[@liadain]

Not to be dramatic but I am in love with Graham

[@travellingfemme]

I would love to see this be a series where you make over her whole place in this style!

[@lisamackres783]

This is the second time I'm watching this video. NOT because I'M bored- because this transformation is so wonderful.

[@naimad.7647]

I love how it looks fresh, light and airy and SO BIG! You made the pastel colors subtle, mature and classy. Home run !

[@sandieedward993]

Sadly my phone's screen doesn't see the soft color variations; but AM Going to be rewatching it on My TV; Hopefully the TV picks it up otherwise 😭 Am so sad about that ,as it's an absolutely beautifully planned out space-wise 💝 so well planned out !! And it's Beautifully Done 👍✅✅Love the Bookcases, the couch and your kitty hack behind the couch is to die for as I hate to see Kitty Litter Boxes in A Home...So that hack alone will probably catch on everywhere it's such a positive way to handle that scenario... Chef's Kiss 💋 to the Whole Redo 😍💝✅

[@Creyole]

Another GRAHAM SLAM!!! I absolutely love the bookcase!👍🏾

[@rebeccavinyard2899]

Can I say that I love Graham. He is so calm and handy. The space is so beautifully decorated! You did a fantastic design!

[@irenero8932]

The same from Spain 🥰

[@anaguzman25]

Obsessed with this makeover. This place looks extra relaxing and girly yet sophisticated. Side note: when storing records, place them vertically instead of horizontally, since this can cause them to warp and get damaged

[@kayelle8005]

Yes this Gen Xer gasped

[@vashishivani12]

I'll cry my eyes out if I ever get to live in a space like this. it's mind-blowing

[@theainsleychristine]

Can't wait to see you all take on a kids nursery/playroom one day!

[@eldamolina1205]

Who else noticed the date on the calendar was the date the video was released?!?! Good planning team AG!

[@leese.23]

I don't care for pastels personally but this... I loved everything about this it's just beautiful it's one of my favorites! I think I say that every episode though.

[@natatatt]

I agree. The colour scheme looks lovely, even though I'm not a pink/pastel person myself. And the layout change works so well.

[@katietatey]

You know it's a great result when you say "Oh I don't like that style" and in the end you're like... "hmmm maybe I DO like that style." :)

[@celestjujube8]

Absolutely love the pastel scandi style! Love the AG team and what you guys do! Keep up the good work!!!!!

So glad you love it!! 💕

[@rickgonzalez1218]

Deb here. Team AG you knocked it out of the park again. You always amaze me with these transformations. You are one of the top designers I have seen on KZbin and should have over 1 million subscribers.

[@erangagamage4732]

Agree, I was following a few designers for several years. But Alexandra's channe is the one gave me ideas for my home.

[@antonialinawolf]

You are literally my new favorite channel, my new adhd obsession and I just binged all of it in the past 4 days lol

[@sadiecox2117]

I bought 3 billy bookcases earlier this year, and have wanted to do a diy similar to this and now I feel so motivated and capable to get it done!

[@idkofany]

how is it going?!

[@Midlife81]

I'd love to know how it went! I always feel inspired by TEAM AG.

[@demiloca]

James is really deserving of high praise. This is a lot of work to keep up with this output and source all the assets and bring his sense of humor and style… he’s soooo good. (I’m an editor too…)

[@beeARTcanada]

It’s so simple and pretty. Very open, fresh, and balanced. Always such a great job!

[@tn-t]

The arch has me through a loop, I can just imagine in a cosy, warm room with burnt terracotta and sandy desert tones 😍

[@christineg6123]

Hey team AG just wanted to tell you all that I wait for your uploads every Saturday morning! Highlight of my weekend. Love all your videos and you've inspired me to make my apartmenr beautiful.

[@nefertitimontoya]

This video has so many classic ag references in it: gazelle, cream cheese, see my light, etc😂

[@michellepereira2328]

That was a great change. The furniture placement really delineated each space perfectly. I love the fresh color choices and I especially appreciate that the cat litter boxes were hidden in a pretty cabinet.

[@brentm7278]

I love that teachers get these beautiful spaces.

[@haleyla]

I’ve seen a lot of comments about Graham doing a lot of work… it got me thinking… well, graham doesn’t do the actual design of the space BUT maybe he’d be good at it? It would be really interesting to see a video where EACH team AG member goes through how they would design the same blank space (if it were for themselves). I’m thinking a digital space, maybe mood boards. I think it would be cool to see everyone’s style… and maybe not everyone is great at the designing aspect, but I’m sure they’ve all learned a lot from being on the team.

[@thegreatduchess]

Definitely one of my favorite makeovers!! But this "Sunkissed Peach" color is INVISIBLE!! 😆 I guess it looks more vibrant in person...

[@isigarrido8875]

I didn't think I was going to like the pastel touches, but I do. I'm always surprised by what your team can achieve.

[@sali1608]

Love the colours and the design. Would`ve loved a bigger sofa for her to chill on. Love your videos 💖

[@lindalehr1551]

Amazing how changing the placement of the furniture and dividing the room actually makes it look bigger. And you really gave her the color pallet that she asked for

[@TheBaalsv]

Those babies are gonna ENJOY that sofa hahahah ✨👀😼😼

[@margaritadiaz3779]

Every single change to the apartment was excellent! The things you guys come up with are unique, and you always manage to make the clients so happy about the design. ❤❤❤❤

[@Chelle778]

[@vickytimmerman1365]

The desk setup is just so beautiful in so many ways

[@sylviamaxwell504]

Looks lovely..2 things...#1...always put a holder under candles, or there will be wax stains on the furniture, plus if candle burns thru to a wooden surface, it is a fire hazard...#2...Cat boxes smell..no matter how often they are cleaned. Find a place in a laundry room, back entry area, but away from the living areas....😮

One of my favorite transformations, ever! Just love the artwork, the livingroom layout, all of the accessories, just the whole thing. Wow! Next time you are in Virginia, I'm ready to have you transform my style to Pastel Scandi!

[@maunarose]

Maybe Team AG can do two spaces in Virginia 😁

[@sarahwenger4479]

Maybe make it three spaces? Lol

[@angelaglaros]

This trend is giving 1980s Miami Vice vibes, all the pastels and sculptural furniture. A surprising throwback!

[@callahanfoley5577]

Can we get an updated Alana home makeover? Would love to see how her style has evolved since the last one. Would love to hear more from her process & perspective too! Love you all :)

[@Tantejuju65]

It is an awesome desk!!! Not a fan of painting solid wood, but you did a stellar job of executing on your client's preference!!

[@tinekejoldersma]

What a huge difference, so soft and pastel. The zones worked out perfectly. Hope the floofers love the makeover just as much as she does.

[@charlesgervin714]

I've been enjoying your videos'. Being over 60 your furniture choices might not suite me, but I so get the vibe - good design is a matter of taste and not bucks. Good design is fluid and changeable and should be based on one's presents needs. You've schooled me well. Each new video is an exploration into space. Your use of space just blows me away. This is from a consumer of makeover/home improvement/design content. You're Hillary Farr on a in a small rented urban space on a limited budget Great job!

[@A13Nair]

Wow! I simply loved this style! After watching your previous video, you know what goes behind the scenes to put together a video like this. So this one had that added depth and feel.

[@TiffanyLeClair]

Same! Makes me appreciate what they do that much more! 🙂

[@amberdoran]

Putting the cords/router in a basket is a legit hack. Ya know, like tucking a light cord behind the curtain. "This beautiful Ikea lamp...." 🤣😂🤣

[@anaisangot2476]

Love the make-over, looks great ! But I am always worried about the litter-box hack... my cat would never ever go in such a small and low space to do his business :D

[@sylvia_golightly]

I don't think mine would either. It also didn't seem like the cat doors would open once the litter boxes were inside but I guess there was enough room. 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@BonnyT]

And that sofa is going to absorb all the smells coming out of that vent!

[@katietatey]

She will have to see how the cats react. Some are easygoing about that stuff, some not so much. Hopefully they like it!

[@TubeTorte]

Very impractical. The whole hidden cat box project will be a waste of time if the cats end up using a space of their choosing rather than awkwardly climbing into a dark enclosed space. Has she tried this "solution" on any other cats?

[@ME-ks2vn]

The most adorable reaction from the recipient of this make-over.

[@heidibee501]

Wow! I absolutely love this one. I could live here so happily and that is high praise. There are so many details, like the special environment (litter cabinet) for the cats that make it special. What stands out for me on these videos, on top of the design, are lessons on HOW-TO create some of the magic.

[@ARKistblog]

Very pretty, discrete use of complementary colors in this makeover, and the carpentry was outstanding. One note about your reliance on glass coffee table tops: I understand that glass tricks the eye into thinking the space is less small or full, but you can't put your feet up on these safely. And so many people love to elevate their legs and feet after a day at a desk. Think of other options that speak to this need. As for space-saving side tables, demilunes and rectangular tops work much better than round tables because you can push them against the wall. As for raspberry and light pink accents with camel- or saddle-colored sofas, no. Not all trends are well thought out. Let your color wheel guide you.

[@lindawarden-burglund9603]

What a beautiful space! I've never seen this style before, but I love it. I would like to see it in my bedroom. Love the soft colors, the furniture, and especially what you did to the to bookcases. Those arches (and Graham) are genius! Furniture placement is everything, and you did an amazing job! Tamra now has a beautiful place to call home!

[@nininelson6108]

I don’t have an apartment yet but I think I would recreate this when I do. It’s so soft, warm and cozy.❤️

Wow! This is like 3 makeovers in 1! We are so lucky 💛 So many things to love about this one. The arches. The chairs. The painted dresser. The cat hack. I'm not a huge fan of the boucle trend, but that sofa and styling is beautiful. I'd never heard of pastel scandi, it was great to see the team tackle this new style.

[@lucyroberts2800]

It is all lovely my only criticism would be the cream sofa with two cats 😮 I mean the fur and if they have an accident it doesn’t look very practical . First time watching your stuff and the rest of the room was gorgeous ! Fab idea for the litter boxes 😊

Hands down, my favorite makeover you’ve ever done!!!!

[@дианааглямутдинова]

This makeover is amazing but with two cats who live there full time, I kinda wanted to see more thoughts about them. I couldn't even find a scratcher post, the couch is not going to last long without it.

[@DannyJane.]

I love the Persian rug. It adds a touch of the exotic to the otherwise very sterile looking room. I love the colors and how they add liveliness to the space. To my eye, the white/gray you went with is too small for the space and too plain to make the area cozy.

[@g.d.anonymous8235]

I agree. Keeping the "Persian" rug would have broken up all of the solid colors and added more subjective texture.

[@DannyJane.]

[@KAM66300]

This is lovely and the team did a wonderful job as per usual. As a teacher though, I'd have loved a much longer desk put behind the couch so when I had non thinking tasks to do (like cutting prep for an activity etc) I could watch TV at the same time. If the longer desk could also have 3 horizontal drawers to hold stuff we teachers need at home for marking and prep that would be icing on the cake. Then the cat box could be moved to where the desk is now, as would not want poop smells coming up from behind my couch while I am relaxing or entertaining. Kitty poop being near the window makes more sense and their climbing trees could have been recovered in skandi pastels too, with maybe a big rattan flat chest under the window for their beds and toys. Kitties do love a sun bath.
