Movable TV stand is underrated. Most people like to wall-mount things because it looks neat. I put everything on wheels so I only need 1 TV and 1 desktop PC for the entire house. It's way cheaper and you have much greater freedom to move things at a later date.
Hey Daniel! Please help! We just purchased our first condo (in development) and I have 1 month to give the developers our final kitchen plans. Please help us with our final decision for our kitchen theme! Floors are grey marble and we’ll have gold accents (faucet, pendant lights, etc). And our top cabinets will be white (small kitchen, will help feel airy). Question is about the bottom cabinets under the countertop, should they be: - (a) bluish grey - for modern feel + match with gold, or - (b) oak wood color to make kitchen feel warm, homie feeling. Also fits with gold accents. Floors are grey marble ;) please help :)
I carry the Galaxy Fold 5, which can replace both the Kindle and the iPad Mini 6, experiencing the novelty of Android. It is much more useful, more portable, and of course, it supports pen use 😂 FInally iPhone 15 Pro Max and Galaxy Z Fold5 combination is really good.
I use steel tables/double sink like industrial kitchens. You can't get cleaner look than this, and you can't get a kitchen that is easier to clean either. Also they are cheap because you just have to buy and it and stick it in.
Amazing work you've done with this difficult project. And man they two must love each other very much. I would and could never live with my partner on this little space 😅 Apart from living there with a child 😂
I used painters’ tape to block out where my new desk would go and whether it would feel too big in our spare bedroom when I converted it into an office a few years ago. It was the first time I had tried that and I’m not looking back. It also let me try different layout options.
2: the fingerpost might look nice at the beginning, but I have found that after some time the paint wears down and you find yourself with marks where you put your fingers. Not a fan.
Yes cooker hoods are ugly af, BUT, as someone whose kitchen is being used a lot for cooking, let me tell you, it’s way worse having that greasy dust settling all over the place, not to mention the amount of smoke when cooking meat etc on high temperatures. There are also other dilemmas that occur with ventilation systems without the use of a cooker hood, but I won’t get into that here. Let’s just say one runs the risk of a very expensive renovation down the line with all that grease getting stuck in the walls of the ventilation system of the house. In short, cooking hoods are a necessary evil.
Isn't it interesting that the UK government makes it extremely difficult for legitimate immigration of qualified spouces and yet is participating in the EU-UN umbrella organisations facilitating the mass human trafficking scheme bringing unvetted people into Brittan, Europe, US, AU, NZ and Canada. These global schemes are being instigated by the same large financial and governance interests that have been destroying the very countries they proport to be assisting with this trafficking.
The house has some interesting considerations but the execution feels ugly, cold and barren. The price is a non-starter, too. The elephant in the room is the pandering to the ideological extremism of Net Zero rather than well established good ecological environmental design. I also have a problem with BP's "Your Carbon Footprint" greenwashing that redirects our scrutiny away from the environmental destruction and toxification caused by global industry and finance while making obscene profits from abstract schemes like Carbon Credits.
Hey Daniel! Long term fan here. Just a little bit of feedback: a while ago, you started adding different effects and humor and talked more like yourself. It was a really great direction and made the videos more interesting. This type of video is reverting back to your old style and although it’s professional, becomes quite monotonous and sounds like a lecture. Each sentence has the same intonation and sounds like reading off a script. These tips have been done to death and videos focusing on new ideas, styles, critiquing/admiring a room, redesigning other peoples rooms were much more interesting concepts imo. Thank you and looking forward to future uploads!
For the first one I found it very useful to use 3D-Model Tools when recently moving (After some searching and trying I went with magicplan on iPad - Powerful free version). By simply asking my landlord for the floor plans I could plan out all my furniture upfront.
Timber or wood dining tables are beautiful, but in my own experience, they are less forgiving than glass in that they get destroyed by liquids, stains, scratches over time.
Ha! I'm moving into a new (old) house soon and am taking all my furniture from my old place with me. I wish I had measured all the items before, but I'm using a programme to sort of figure out where everything goes. Have more square footage, but a couple of rooms are smaller and doors in the wrong place. The doors can be sorted. Making the place cohesive is a bigger challenge with fitting my antique stuff along side more modern stuff and not looking like a second hand furniture shop.
I'm so glad other commenters pointed this out too, I feel leela's space was overlooked she doesn't get a standing desk or a swivel chair she doesn't get a monitor Her desk supposed to be used for other things too or moved around so she cannot have a "permanent" setup like alex's. It feels like catering to axel's hobby of gaming is prioritised over the functional requirements of leela's actual job..
I’m surprised you didn’t mention IKEA billy oxberg glass door bookshelves. You can get them with glass, half glass half wood or all wood doors, for dust-free display with ‘cram the stuff in out of sight’ sections as needed.
I used butchers paper, cut and taped into the shape and size of the furniture so I could move it around and try different configurations. Not perfect (very flat) but good.
I can never pay attention to what he says as I am totally mesmerised by his looks. He is such an "ideal husband material". Sadly he is married and not Gay. Sigh!!! Uffff!!!
I hate the refrigerators that major manufactures make. They look like intruders in the kitchen. Kitchen cabinets and counter tops have been a standard depth for many years, yet these dumbass manufactures can't or won't make the pivot to make refrigerators cabinet depth without charging consumers a lung and kidney. That's lazy and tells me that they don't give two shits for their customers. Moreover, when purchased, they are poorly manufactured and don't last very long. The American consumer doesn't have much choice when it comes to many things.
I think you could have made more space by using a Japanese style toilet with the basin over the cistern, this would also better future proof the apartment by re using grey water. A loft bed would also have leave more space at ground level for either a sofa or a desk/ table if the ceilings are high enough
Sorry, but talking about comfort and not showing any nice sofas with headrests seems incredibly dumb. Excusing that by saying that any comfortable sofa is bulky is particularly unsound. For example, IKEA STRANDMON is a great and comfy chair that isn't bulky _at all_. And if the right size for you is their sofa from the same series, you hit a jackpot. You are able to deliver more. This is disappointing.
Love your channel, and you have such an eye for line and space. I'm curious about your relationship with colour as you gravitate to monochrome a lot. Do you think it's possible to preserve a sense of space while playing with deeper colours?
