Roasting My Subscribers AGAIN! | Clutter, KALLAX Units, & Accent Walls

[@dcjimr1]

I found out about your channel because I sent my brother a photo of my living room and he said that Nick would not approve because I didn't have the front legs of the couch on the rug. I asked him who the hell Nick was, and he told me about your channel. My brother sadly passed away last year but I'm very thankful to him for sharing this channel...I've learned a lot!

If it does the job, why is that a problem? I suggested she buy another one and put them side by side. I think they come with doors so she could put a few doors on the one she has and it would look like all one unit.

@@randiD123 Good idea, thinking of covering chairs in orange, I know how to upholster so would be easy. Harder to find the right rug but Nick had some nice options. Other thought is using chairs with more fabric. I do have more leaves for table and more chairs so I can fill the space a bit more.

[@tandemabutere]

Do you have any insight into why Liam's room has FOUR doors?? What are they all for?

[@anastasianelson312]

​@@tandemabutere US army SSG here, so the doors are usually to closets for additional storage or uniforms and gear. The other doors could lead to a shared living space/ bathroom with an assigned roommate. I'm not sure where these barracks are but yes this a typical layout for barracks. Very similar to college dorms with very strict rules that must fall in line with the commanders barracks policies.

[@grat2010]

I love that Liam from the barracks wrote in for advice. I enjoy hearing from all the different demographics and hearing what Nick advises for them. It's real life with real people in their very real spaces, which makes it incredibly relatable. Keep up the good work, Nick!

[@WanderTrust]

For the military one, I would consider moving the bed over and using the dresser as a divider! its nice to separate the sleeping area from the work area. I lived in a studio with my partner during covid/work from home. And since the walls are white, pointing a lamp at the wall would give some nice diffuse light!

You said you want to know more about your viewers ... Well, I'm a writer from Germany and the room descriptions in my novels have become so much more vivid since I watch your channel! Before it has mostly been variations of Gen X style (doesn't help that I write cyberpunk), but learning about different styles is actually a great way to to make the characters who live in those spaces a bit more interesting and well-rounded, and decribing an general mood is often also way more descriptive than listing and describing all furniture pieces. Probably not what you were aiming for, but still some positive impact ♥ I love your channel, I love your humor and I hope you continue enjoying making these videos.

Liam!! Lamps, curtains, rugs STAT! Maybe a plant or two. Photos of your family and friends. You’ll have that place feeling like home in no time 🙂 thank you for your service!

[@amberbanuelos7053]

He could also potentially do some peel and stick wallpaper, though I, like Nick, have no idea what he’s allowed to change/do. But definitely more closed door storage for things, a rug, curtains, and a big plant for the corner (fake, in case he’s deployed or not around much).

[@carmadariacompaniona4181]

Yes, more softness to deal with all the hard edges...

[@rockshot100]

I don't mind the matchstick blinds he has. Lamps and a rug will make a huge difference. A potted tree would make a big difference, and make it look much move lively. The black bedspread is almost as bad as the florescent light, but with the patterns and colors he suggested for the curtains, would help a lot. Maybe a duvet cover that blends better?

[@DNAConsultingDetectives]

GREAT roasting video! Liam, Get COMMAND hooks to hang art. They will not harm the walls at all. There's a huge variety to pick from to meet your needs. (I'm a veteran, so get living in barracks can sux). A tension rod for a window treatment may be a great option as you won't have to mount any hardware. The best rule for how wide you need the curtains is triple the width measurement. So if the window is 48", x 3 = 144" total width needed. I'd also consider swapping out your bed spread to something less busy. Perhaps a solid color that is close to the color of the wood veneer furniture drawers. That'll make it look more intentional. Great idea to contact Nick for advice.

[@wakingtheworld]

Yep, agree. Despite restrictions, there is still potential for his space to look amazing.

[@cruztastrophe]

Specifically the command hooks with a plastic backing and a metal prong for the hook. They are so much more versatile and easier to remove than the clunky plastic ones.

[@rockshot100]

I agree. And 3X is ideal, but depending on the fabric, 2.5X is minimum. Yes, the black is too much and is the focal point of the room, and doesn't fit with everything else. I suggested a duvet cover, in the fabrics he suggested for drapes. Don't think he can remove that florescent light, that is the biggest problem, the lamps will add dimension to the room. The rug idea is the best, but he will have to probably buy a vacuum. The rug should have enough of the orange of the doors so they look intentional. I am sure he cannot paint those doors, and they are ugly.

Its also raised on the kallax underframe legs to raise it off the floor. I live in a 1 bedroom apartment, storage is necessary so those low style media units aren't very useful.

[@katrijndekeersmaecker1904]

As I was watching the video, I had this thought that maybe the reason so many people seem to have these consoles that are way too tiny for the TV is because they have owned the console for years and it was originally paired with a more appropriately sized tv, but they ended up upgrading to a larger tv and never changing the console.

[@Trammiliin_nr2]

[@Chaotic_Pixie]

Military barracks are a lot like dorm rooms in terms of what can and cannot be changed… they just get a lot more space to work with. I spent my teen and college years living near the Naval Sub School & Navy base & was friends with a number of sailors so I feel like I’ve got some cred to make some comments. Getting creative with space allocation really helps. I had friends who set their bed up to function as a bit of a sofa during the day & created a living room & then created a separate office & dining space. Others brought in room dividers, Japanese style futons, floor cushions, Kallax units… whatever possible to divide up the space to create a living zone and a sleeping zone. I think those set ups worked best, usually with a Kallax acting as a room divider with storage and display spaces. Dressers become a tv console & a nightstand. I even know a delightful female sailor who used 3M strips & flat sheets to make a fabric wall behind her bed. She put the 3M strips on the wall, Velcro on the sheets after she’d tacked her pleats in place, and affixed the loop side of the Velcro to the 3M strips. This way, she could take the sheet down to wash it. You can also use shower curtains. This is a dorm hack that works really well.

Yup! 41 y/o architectural designer from California suburbs here! 🤣 I love this series! Nick, you always have great recommendations. Question: do you get updates? I'd love to see the featured spaces redesigned per your input!

[@homeandgardendiy6363]

Yeah!

[@Sentient_Goose]

Yaas! My absolute favorite series 🎉

Nick, I’m a 66 year old lady, fairly recently divorsed living in my own little house, sort of arts and crafts, but in feminine colors- teals, yellows, tans.

[@nancydrew52]

I'm wondering if Liam could somehow create more defined spaces, with the bed placed closer to the window (and air conditioning/heating unit), put the dresser on the other side, reorient the computer table employ the coffee table (?) that's at the end of the bed and get a room screen from IKEA (very portable so he can take it with him when he leaves). Put the room screen between the "bedroom" area and the computer/media area. I don't know if this would work out in terms of the dimensions of the room vs. the coffee table, etc. but he might give it a try.

As a vet, that’s a huge barracks room! Back in my soldiering days that would be at least a double. I say make sure you have a rug. Most older barracks get so cold. (I was in WW2 barracks).

[@rockshot100]

He would be ridiculed for hanging curtains, the matchstick blinds are not that bad. A huge rug with the orange color of the doors and a different bedspread would make a big difference. And a few lamps and forget about the florescent light, nobody would even notice. He would be more comfortable, without any grief.

@rockshot100 Room darkening curtains should be ok. They are available plain and any dorm rat should appreciate being able to keep out the sun to sleep in, particularly shift workers. Not everyone has those great metal German blinds like I had 🙂

Kallax is actually pretty nice if you work it a bit and are crafty. I have a craft room in my place that doubles as my work office- I hand painted fabric drawers for one kallax with art from my favorite artist (Hokusai, took pieces from the same series so they would fit together). Plus there are now drawer inserts and doors you can now add- I added drawers to a second and painted it, changed the knobs to something nicer. Whole room is accents of navy against tan, set up so that when I sit at my desk behind me is rather tidy and formal for Zoom calls... but while I work I get to see in front of me all my favorite artworks and piece I made for the space, which is nice.

The voyeur chair is killing me!😂 He hit the nail on the head though.

[@Meloncov]

Ikea sells doors that can convert a kallax to closed storage for pretty cheap.

[@kristinapreedy7069]

This is such a fun series and such good info; I'm luckily not in the same situation as Liam, but I thought you especially nailed a good plan for him, Nick! Bravo!

[@sherrirush1567]

Of course you have fans outside the coastal cities! Hubby and I enjoy watching from a small, Indiana city 😊. You give us great ideas for remodeling and decorating our 70s ranch.

[@dking1362]

And I am in Fort Wayne! Love these videos where Nick gives very specific ideas for actual spaces. Just finished renovating one of my bedrooms into a craft studio with 2 wonderful work areas, task lighting, tons of storage...I love the feminine, light-blue-with-white results. Pretty and functional! Happy early retirement to me!

For the dining room with a small table, I see a light blue that coordinates with the blue sky of the painting. I love th video series.

[@zerowhite2286]

76 year old from the U.K. here. I live in a 3 bed terraced home that is crammed full of stuff. Art, ceramics, books, inexplicable things that I have dragged home. It would cause Nick a breakdown, and it’s made me question why I love his videos - after all I don’t want to emulate his style. It’s his sly humour and common sense I like. Our tastes might be different but I can still pick up useful tips from him.

[@ematthews3267]

Would love to see how Nick deals with curtains over radiators, must send a photo. At least I don't have nipple lights, but my rugs aren't big enough to put two legs of the chairs on, nor can I afford anything larger. More international options, styles and budgets would be lovely, send photos people. From wet S. W WALES UK (54yr old female and 2 cats😂)

[@jenm220]

I’m over 50 and just starting to have a design style and have the money and time to actually implement it. Way to go for anybody working on their spaces while they’re younger, and in the barracks! Great video 😊

[@joiathegreat]

I'm so looking forward to having the money to update my place.

The comments on seating throughout the video are so spot on and made me laugh out loud. People not facing each other, sitting in the naughty corner 🤣 So true and so important!

[@meherrinrivercounseling7482]

I really enjoyed this content. You're talking like a real designer and being very generous in your advice. Kind of like a master class. Lots of really valid and pertinent points. Thank you.

[@lololpoppy]

I love that Liam has a little romantasy book on his cabinet! Get you through those long army nights

[@Jenn-98]

Hi Nick. 57 and 58 year old sisters living together in Surrey BC. Come mostly for the snark and happen to like your design suggestions. Hoping one day to run into you roaming the streets of downtown Vancouver looking for unique pieces and ideas.

Charlotte also needs ART -- even if it's just big bold posters in Ikea frames.

[@rockshot100]

The ones she has are like 18" too high. In a living room, "eye level" is sitting down.
