My home office is a place where I can create, get inspired, and learn something new.
Our roommates recently moved out, leaving us with a spare bedroom to work with. I decided to transform the bedroom into a home office and design studio, to support my endeavor in the creative industry.

[@vartankhemo7082]

Wow! Literally EVERYTHING about this video feels as though I’m being tucked into bed but instead it’s one of the most relaxing and aesthetically pleasing workspaces I’ve ever seen! Huge nod to your style and decor, it really gives off a calm yet productive vibration! Any tips as to where to look for affordable yet stylish workspace and tabletop decor similar to what you have setup in your studio? Thanks very much and I appreciate you for posting this video and any kind of feedback!

[@erlandatugaw8883]

Your calm voice + zen spirit + design eye + soothing background music = perfection! LOVE your channel.

[@Oliur]

This is great. Gives me inspiration for my own space.

[@reynardlowell]

Thanks Oliur! Looking forward to your new office! Been following your channel since my early uni days.

[@kimberlyapalla4076]

This is so good. I feel so relaxed watching and listening to his voice!

[@ACX.13]

To avoid the peeling on the wall fixture, in the future use sandpaper and rough the surface up for better adhesion.

[@IshikaShanai]

I really love your style and the slow methodical approach you take to designing your spaces~ Thanks for documenting your process!

[@lila-laura9962]

The Lamp looks so much better in balck. I love it

[@eucesilveira]

Man... i had planning to seeing only 2minutes but... i got stucked until the end. Great job! Very inspiring

[@JohnWolfrik]

I think the cinematic experience of this video, with your relaxing voice, is such a joy to see and listen.

[@Ngnow302]

IKEA stuff can look so good after some creative work, super inspiring. The space looks so bright and beautiful.

[@artemisaix]

This is the video I was looking for. I still struggling with having a nice place to do my job.

[@amandajohnson4428]

Your office turned out great! Now that you’ve taken your office out of the living area, I’m curious to know if you’re going to be adding something in that space?

[@reynardlowell]

Thanks Amanda! Yes, we're planning to do a long cabinet that stretches all the way from the tv area to where the desk used to be. Will be a combination of tv unit, buffet and reading nook. Hope to share it by end of September/early October if things went smoothly.

[@matteonicolas3247]

Thanks for mentioning the timeframe; helps viewers develop realistic expectations. Great video!

[@madiej.7516]

Everything about your channel exudes class and calm. 🥰

[@susuilu]

I agree. The calm part keeps me hooked onto his videos

[@kiwiseal5083]

its beautiful!

[@beatsbyshnzo]

Great job!!! I like that you showed your small issues too (like when the paint came off the light) most videos like to keep stuff like that out but you truly let us be part of the process with everything you showed us. I enjoyed this.

[@ghoshbabu4752]

Just love your lifestyle & your interior decoration also.Take love brother from Bangladesh 🇧🇩

[@IuanColeYoung]

omg mate....when you first started i commented that your videos reminded me of Hueguh's. Now its a mix between that and Matthew Encina...LOVE IT.

[@marionandrews176]

Hello for New York! This was perfect. I have combination living room, dining and home office. I was thinking of getting the Ivar from IKEA to recreate my office area to get a bit more separation from the other spaces and a larger work surface. I love your aesthetic and look forward to the upcoming videos.

[@ftj8279]

Wow you are seriously good. You are taking a lot of B-rolls and actually put up all the furnitures by yourself while recording it. Props to you for the efforts. You deserve more subscribers.

[@reynardlowell]

Thanks! It definitely takes more work going back and forth setting the camera, but I want it to feel for immersive instead of just straight up talking to camera. Glad it's worked out well 😊

[@nikitadelange6371]

A man who is neat 💯

[@qiyings]

Wow its incredible! You have an awesome taste!

[@johnmarie8830]

I've watched so many setup videos, but this one has made me feel the most relaxed and inspired! Thank you :)

Love the clock, looks a lot like the typical Junghans watches and clocks!

[@darma8030]

Every aspect of your design and documentation is a joy to behold. Thank you for sharing your projects and process. In seeing the blank label on the shelf drawer, I happily envisioned the kanji for ‘My Space Uplifts Me.’ Blessings.

[@ifeyhome]

Thought this would be a hit and run video, but I stayed for the whole journey!

[@yigavlogs7603]

I love the wooden shelves, great use of space!

[@mmiahnoor]

you are my favourite youtube channel ! so relaxing and informative :)))

[@paoloviloria1]

Good project. If that chrome lamp (that you painted matte black) continues to peel, you can take it down/off for the time being, sand everything down with 600 grit sand paper, and then paint over it again. The paint should have better adhesion to the rougher surface once you get all off the chrome off. You might want to do it outdoors though. You wouldn’t want to have to deal with all that sanding dust indoors. Anyway, just a recommendation, in case that lamp causes you some peeling issues. 😊

[@sachinborse7560]

Waao super bro office is such a beautiful place now love from India😍

[@Smitty19966]

Awesome video! Very inspiring. It's good to see more of us Aussies doing this lately.

[@KamuiJJang]

dope! I just moved to a new apt in a new city, will be watching for inspo to build my new place!

[@mariog7682]

Been waiting for the video! Awesome 👌

[@paix1234]

Always a pleasure to watch your videos. Office looks great!

[@jate.photography]

Awesome transformation! Love it! I'm also in Sydney, what's your advice on where to source all these indoor plants from and the types? After watching this my home office is looking so bland.

[@reynardlowell]

I got them from different places, but mostly local shops surrounding my area. Have had good experience with Plant Daddy and Plant Society (they offer free delivery within 10km of their shop), also Flower Power (huge garden, great to browse when not in lockdown) and Newtown Garden Market (also offer free delivery, but have to order by phone, they'll send you images of plant by text).

[@lorraineyanez4301]

I love minimalism, my daughter is the opposite. She's a college student and started a small business. Turned her closet space into office but a trickle down affect. So much stuff I just want to throw it all away.

[@zacbarron7154]

Great video Reynard! Love this kind of content and good inspiration for my own new home office, happy to have found your channel :)

[@reynardlowell]

Thanks Zac! Glad you find it helpful :)

[@alexabad7827]

Wow! You are really good in designing!! I hope you live here in the Philippines.😊

[@CraDoCa]

I love your workspace. I love the style and all the details it has, you have very good taste.This is one of the best videos I have seen, very well edited and your voice is super relaxing. I am trying to get my work space into my bedroom and it is taking a lot of effort because I can´t find the best option. Thank you for sharing your ideas.

[@dianecarney8635]

[@mj.s.7692]

This is so wonderful! Great work here! Thanks for sharing 😊

[@Naswillshine]

This is a dream. So amazing . Love your sense of design.

[@ginag5687]

Hi Reynard! LOVE what you did with your new office! I really enjoy your channel, your voice is so relaxing and soothing and the music you pick is perfect. Love it!! Can you go more in depth with how you install your lighting? I would love to do the same in my home. Thanks! And keep these videos coming! 😊😊😊👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@madamalsi]

I'm inspired! Love the space so much! Just wished I had an extra spare room to make it my own personal office.

[@sreerags781]

Please do a video on some design book recommendations that you look for inspirations.....
