WORK FROM HOME OFFICE MAKEOVER - Ikea Hacks to Create Beautiful Workspace + FULL COST BREAKDOWN $$

[@ChiefArchitect]

Thank you for sharing your design process. The office looks great! 👍

[@HugoBuilds]

wow Chief Architect! Welcome to the channel! thank you so much.

[@barrylinkiewich9688]

This was a great makeover, I bet it's way nicer to "go to work" when your home office looks like that and anyone you zoom meet with is probably green with envy.

[@HugoBuilds]

Thank you. Glad you like it. People do comment on the background on zoom meetings ;). Thanks for watching.

[@maryannemoll]

This is hands down THE best, cleanest, sharpest makeover I have ever seen. You did a tremendous job!

[@HugoBuilds]

Wow, thank you! What a great compliment. I'm happy you enjoyed it!

[@wadhaalmuhairy7342]

Iam thrilled to find an architect like me i feel all architect have this bond even if they don’t see each other i wish i could have an architect fiend whose passionate like you i can only imagen what a plast we will have, keep up the good work my friend

[@HugoBuilds]

Thanks so much.

[@naimahq8739]

THIS IS ALCHEMY! Bruh just created a visual appearance of a built in alcove space! Illusion at IT’S finest!

[@HugoBuilds]

Thanks so much!

[@TCamp72a]

Looks fantastic! I would not have thought of painting those Kallax shelving units! The floating shelves are amazing. And I'm impressed... you have LIVE plants. Most of these videos contain fake plants.

[@HugoBuilds]

Thanks Tracy. Nothing I love more than real plants. The really warm up the place. Kallax shelves weren't the easiest to paint. They're holding up well but I would recommend a deep scuff and primer before. Thanks for watching.

[@alirada7827]

Finally, something original !! Your taste is thoughtful, unique, and beautifully thought-out. Would love to see a living room designed by you in the future!

[@HugoBuilds]

Coming soon! Guess we'll do some work downstairs. We finished our house build a while back - you can check our whole series. Def more work to do in the living room now tho!

[@eddiealva4453]

Beautiful! Greetings from Perú, the land of the Machu Pichu.

[@HugoBuilds]

Awesome! Thanks for watching.

[@ApriliaRacer14]

So nice to see a home without knockdown walls and ceilings!

[@HugoBuilds]

Thank you! much appreciated.

[@Woodshadow]

This just popped back up on my feed. I actually painted my office this color based on your video. Obviously video doesn't always do it justice and lighting is different in every room but mine is more of a green/blue dark teal color but brighter like it has gray in it. Yours almost looks like a dark emerald green. Mine also look horrible on camera. Everyone asks me if I painted my room black and I always look totally washed out. In short I love your room but I wish I had just went with an emerald green.

[@HugoBuilds]

It's only paint! It's like a hair cut. You can always redo it. Thanks for watching!

[@keenan7156]

I really love the green and the stain. But damn that would have looked amazing with simple white and pine as well. Great design!

[@HugoBuilds]

Thanks!

[@ella5986]

Thank you! I wish more people would breakdown the cost. It gives viewers who are interested in even part of your office a better idea of what it takes to achieve that look and how to best budget renovations and prioritize what might get done first. thank you!

[@HugoBuilds]

Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching.

[@Fleon47]

looks amazing and the costs are totally ok. Other desks alone costs like 700 USD. So you made a great design and smart decisions.

[@HugoBuilds]

Thanks so much!

[@daisytangri7615]

Super sir loved it very much 👍💯❤️🇺🇸

[@AkaAka_AkaAka]

Dude I honestly didn't realize it was paint. I thought you'd built out a large box to go in the space that turned out absolutely amazing!

[@HugoBuilds]

Thanks a lot! Appreciate the kind words.

[@darkhorses5394]

Perfect!! I’m thinking of doing a combination of your options. PC on the shelf w a desk still for reading, writing ✍️, etc.

[@HugoBuilds]

Thank you! Glad you like it. Good luck with yours!

Superb. Looks amazing. Great inspiration for me to do something similar 👌

[@HugoBuilds]

You should! Always happy to inspire others! Thanks for watching.

[@lolabrini3758]

the dark green is reminds me of victor newman's office on Y&R---- very luxurious looking 🥰 u did a great job! Overall i think i will do a dark wall. Ones that are light just dont look good for an office nook. The dark color anchors the space.

[@HugoBuilds]

Thank you so much! hah I had to google that I must admit.. he's so much more suave then me tho - fits the office better ;) Good luck with your office. Thanks for watching :)

[@handzus19]

LOL. Love the Victor Newman reference.

[@yourrealestatefinder-ph]

i want this design for my office!!! 🤩🤩

[@HugoBuilds]

Go for it!

[@amandatrood5262]

Also - Price breakdown was fantastic! So encouraging to me - I need to purchase some hardware but it's within reason for custom

[@HugoBuilds]

Happy to hear! It's not that difficult, I'm sure you can figure it out! good luck.

I can’t find any comments on what color paint you used and brand. Looks like a dark green and so pretty Please share dets on the paint

[@HugoBuilds]

I forget off the top of my head but I responded to some comments with the exact color.

[@jonathanngu4297]

overall having a great job, but I more love with ur render wood colour. the light colour wood will more stand out from the dark green background.

[@HugoBuilds]

Thank you! will keep that in mind for next time.

[@brentstwocents]

Great job for under CAD$1,000. Most desk makeover KZbinrs would spend nearly that much on just a couple of Grovemade accessories.

[@HugoBuilds]

Very true!

[@HugoBuilds]

hah good eye. Selling it this week after 7 years. Just bought a new Ford Maverick!

[@johnd_418]

What software did you use to 3D plan it? Also, the video was well made! All I would say is to make sure the volume of the music stays with the volume of your voice, sometimes it was too loud.

[@HugoBuilds]

Thank you! Yes audio isn’t my forte. Will take better care next time to make sure it sounds better.

[@DirtyDandino]

@@HugoBuilds I would like to know the software, too. I always like to map out my projects as well. Are you able to add dimensions and whatnot?

Hi. I just saw this office build. Great job. I really like how you built the shelves. I also love the colour. You mentioned it was Sherwin-williams but I don't think you mentioned the colour. Are you able to share what the colour name is? Thanks.

[@HugoBuilds]

Oh thank you! I forget the colour off the top of my head but I mention it numerous times in the comments other people had asked.

[@BrianLasek]

First time viewer, great work! Can you share some info on the wall art you have in your office - it looks like something made with newspapers or magazine cutouts?

[@HugoBuilds]

It's part of my girlfriends masters thesis. It's a map of montreal printed on a piece of plywood with a whole bunch of finishing nails to connect string to. Had to do with how we experience cities around us. She will be happy someone asked about it! Thanks
