Cost To Furnish An Apartment + 6 Budget Saving Tips (IKEA | DIY | Designer Brand)

[@shirleypol5683]

You have a great eye for pieces that will go together wonderfully! All your apartment's style is cohesive.

[@reynardlowell]

Thanks Shirley! Appreciate the kind words 🙏

[@macjosiesfamily8118]

Beautiful put together. Looks cosy, modern and expensive. Good job

[@Kyriapj]

So glad you mentioned that it was achieved over several months :) Great video!

[@TechTweek]

I love the way you describe everything. Such a calming video. Great Work Man. Keep uploading more videos. God Bless You.

[@BK12513]

Would love to see a video on how you made the headboard! It looks AMAZING! Super chic and classy

[@queeniethu]

Your video inspired me to get those Bissa shoe cabinets. I picked up 3 last week. Just finished putting them together yesterday. I also found brass colored pulleys like yours off amazon. I drilled them in though instead of super gluing. They looks GREAT. The only thing left for me to do with those cabinets is anchor them to the wall because each time i open the drawers, the whole cabinet tips over.

[@jessycam111]

Thanks for your transparency. I find the cost to be high considering that it is all ikea or second hand and that may be because there's too many things. For example the entryway 0:45 There is a console on the left side of the screen with some deco items, frames and a table lamp. There also is another lamp right by the door + another piece of furniture, some deco items and a plant. So it looks like you cannot fully open the door. Also you have a generously decorated home office in your spare room + another desk in your bedroom where you have to squeeze a little bit between the desk and the bed to move across the room. I don't know how often you'd use this second desk. Of course you can afford it (I am definitely not investing $180 in a trash can😀) but I understand from the video that you are also giving money-saving tips. The moment you have to move out is generally when you realize how much stuff you accumulated. So first thing I like to ask myself now is if a purchase is necessary rather than if I can afford it.

Absolutely therapeutic to watch your videos and simply admiring your home🤍 I would love to know how you made your headboard!

[@reynardlowell]

Thank You! I'll put that on my list of videos to make.

[@lisatiu98]

Love your videos! an idea for your upcoming videos, is explaining your process of 'planning' a space. For example, after you take down measurements, your process of planning in moleskin notebook, looking for items suitable etc.

[@reynardlowell]

Thanks! Yeah for sure, I've already got a video for that planned. My design process from start to finish, and another one on how to pick furniture for your space. All this planned after I finish setting up the new home office ;)

[@robertadamson6133]

Thanks for sharing your insight on interior design. I love that you have endorsed the philosophy of buying unique pieces that you love when they are on sale or even second hand, and that one doesn’t have to buy an entire set of furniture for the look to be cohesive. Black, white, & natural wood as major design elements keep the decor modern and calming. I could be sooo comfortable in an apartment the way you’ve designed yours. Please do a video on how you made your headboard. I love it! Especially the backlighting 👍🏻😊

[@amandajohnson4428]

Great video. You have a good eye for design. I love how you included progress pictures of how your place first looked and the changes you made over time.

[@lisanau3472]

I love your calm narration and inspirational ideas.

[@alyssamarie54]

Great job on putting together your space! Thank you for showing a breakdown of the timeline it took to achieve this.

[@jcs3330]

I think I have expressed this before, a few months ago or so. This video presentation and narrative has been produced so well.

[@cohleensamuel9745]

Your home is absolutely Beautiful and peaceful. You have done a wonderful job ❤️ would love to see a video of how you made your headboard.

[@howmoon67]

I am amazed at your filming ability. So smooth, attentive to detail. You are talented..

[@reynardlowell]

Thank you! 😊

[@olee457]

It’s one thing to be a great designer when you have have carte Blanche to spend on whatever pieces you want…It’s another thing entirely to be able to create aesthetic, functional, and cohesive spaces on a budget like this. 👏🏼👏🏼

[@nicknguyen2214]

Hey Reynard, thanks for another great video again. Would be interested to learn how you made your customised bed head!!! :)

[@jalenmoore3799]

Thanks for going through and being so transparent with the cost of all of your furnishing! Great Video!

[@candycane1921]

Omg his voice is so soothing 🥹

[@MuditVerma]

That shoe cabinet is awesome!!!

[@joveblue]

Great video - would love to see more about how the headboard was made :)

[@williamclark1244]

I have a similar decorating style. I love that you have plants in your space.

[@jate.photography]

Another great video. Although you have a lot of pieces from IKEAz it doesn't look like it came straight out direct from a catalogue. You are great at mix and matching. Please do more videos on the headboard as well as other DIY hacks and customisations! How are the round bag hooks held onto the walls to ensure rental friendly?

[@ChaceArrowz]

Please make a video of the headboard! Dope DIY

[@kkgc5760]

Hey bro, i just got an apartment in sydney too (sadly no CBD view ...) I found your channel super helpful, thanks for sharing!

[@alisasherpa2091]

You are sooo good with interior designing and must say, great taste. Keep up the good work. 👍 Keeping all your videos as my reference for my future, haha 😄

[@Khang123j]

Please do a video on the headboard! Question, how do you find such good furniture on gumtree/Facebook? There’s always so many items listed for each type of furniture

[@israaal999]

Please keep posting more regularly, I look forward to your videos!! Great work!

[@artxlife7236]

[@SweetSurprises]

Wow I really love your condo it look so nice and cozy 😊 thank you for sharing this video.

[@reynardlowell]

Thanks for watching 😊

[@Princechildish]

Love the video, great ideas and very cost affective. You know.. the moss st (either sandalwood or ocean breeze they both look the same) diffuser in the hallway, 0:40 ,it’s very likely that I poured that. Haha.

[@JimiJames]

Dope setup my man

[@BarryLester]

I got a similar key bowl from a sushi restaurant I frequent for free. Ikea has some amazing potpourri and I put them in the bowl as well. also that tv stand is quite interesting.

[@savanna5974]

Woo, wonderful design and great iterations! Thanks for sharing.

[@maric.8811]

Hi Reynard, thanks for answering my question in detail throughout this video!!! I learned lots from your ideas. You certainly have great taste. Im thinking, the big idea here is to have patience when we are trying to buy. Wait for the right price n the right piece that suits us!! So how do you pick the colours? How do you start? Thanks again!!

[@reynardlowell]

Hi Mari, glad you find it helpful! I've got a couple of videos planned that will cover that; my design process from start to finish, and how to pick furniture for your space. Should be sometime in September after I finish renovating the home office :)

[@woteverism]

Great video. You have a great eye for lamps/ lights.

[@davidlau6060]

Yessss, another therapeutic video! Out of curiosity, what camera, stand, and editing software do you use?

[@reynardlowell]

I use the Sony A6400, mostly with 35mm prime lens. Tripod I got the manfrotto with fluid head, but often use objects around the house as well. Edit with premiere pro and a little after effects for animations.

[@tb-nz]

Great video, thank you for the inspiration! You could do one on how you make the apartment feel spacious. Just an idea :)

[@davee430]

[@karenmcc2197]

Really enjoyed that video. Love your place.

[@Domazsakalauskas]

Beautiful place and nicely put together. Kudos for the work. Your videos are very relaxing to watch btw. One thing tho. In a video you've mentioned that you're renting this joint. So all these pieces, furniture and everything you've bough once you decide to get your own place (I'm assuming) would you take it with you or sell it to current landlord? How does that work? Cause at the minute it seems that you've put so much effort and love in a place that's still a rental?

[@reynardlowell]

Thank You! Furniture I can just easily move them if I do plan to move, or sell them on Marketplace if I want to upgrade. I've lived here for 2 years; while 'renting' seems like a temporary thing, I think it's worth the effort to make it feel like home (unless you plan to move in 3 or 6 months).

[@suziechen7848]

Would love to know how you put together the headboard! It's gorgeous!

[@janicetaylor5785]

How do you go about fixing your hooks, hangers and mirrors to the wall without any issues with real estate agents? Any tips there?

[@mellymel1100]

You spent more on the hallway than I had on my whole first apartment.

[@sumba101]

Can you make a video on how that desk is set up

[@moonlightluddite]

Hello Reynard, I know this is a big ask, but pleeeease could you do an updated version of this video seeing as a lot of things about your home has changed i.e The Living Room renovations et al

[@reynardlowell]

I’ll probably do that once I finish the whole apartment, there’s still bedroom to come in a few months, and an updated apartment tour coming after that.

[@beatrizmatos4097]

Hi Reynard, I have a question about your mirror. How did you attach it to the wall? I understand you are in a rental, and avoid making holes.

[@OneVeronique]

Yasssss. Love every video you produce! You could stage any space real easy🖤🖤🤍🖤🖤 #IMPECCABLE 🤍

[@rsii83]

There is a tall bamboo plant next to your leather couch which I have similar but I do not know where is the best place to put it. Any suggestion?

How many square feet is the apartment and how much do you have to pay for rent?

[@safaa9654]

Some of the things are really expensive 😅 70$ for a little "fake" drawer is way too much. Same thing for the 20$ hanger

Fantastic video, can you please make a video on how to make your space look cohesive? When I shop I buy an item that looks good in the store but when placing it at my home, it just doesn’t gel well and at the end of the day it looks like a space that has different things of different sizes and colors together without any cohesiveness and flow.
