My style is similar to yours but because I battle depression I need color. I like turquoise, burnt orange, silver grey and white. I hope your face isn’t cringing right now. But these colors with the green of plants with flowers have made a difference (and honestly watching you brings me joy also. I love your personality) Please create more of these videos I am a disabled veteran so my budget is tight. Thank you for all that you do. You make my days brighter. Big Hugs
I love that even though we have differences and styles that you still get a value out of my videos. You can take my design language and interpret it in your own way I have your color to make you feel happy in your own home! Thank you for watching
I suffer from depression too. I turned one bedroom into a plant room. I painted it all white, got a huge mirror from home goods to bring in more light. Took out the closet doors and made a little nook. Arvin has me changing my whole house around lol
@@ArvinOlano Hi Arvin, you would HATE my house , lol, but... I've changed or will be changing, at least 3 rooms with calmer, more serene ,color palettes. I may redo the whole house if I continue watching your videos! Love it ! 😊
I buy two shower curtains and an extra set of hooks, because I want them to look luxurious. They will show the folds just like window curtains and instantly make your bathroom look chic and expensive.
Thank you! Thank you for making videos that are TO THE POINT! I hate when people ramble on about their thought processes or what they did that morning and your videos are refreshingly precise 👌🏼.
I literally just purchased the Hilja curtains for my home office yesterday!!! I swear when I was deciding whether to buy them or not I thought to myself I wish I could ask Arvin about these! Lol
It's like wearing lipstick. I'm sure the lipstick manufacturers of America are very upset that we just have no reason to wear lipstick anymore. And we won't even get into bras. Ha ha
I have to say, I’ve been watching your videos for a few days now and I really appreciate the fact that you take into account different styles and aesthetics. I know of other RU-vidrs who will simply tell you exactly what to do so that your space looks like an IKEA exhibit more than a home. You show many different things that can apply to so many different spaces and overall it’s so much more helpful than simply being told “put this table and this plant with this chair”. I may be thinking way too deep into this but it’s so refreshing to see someone who is so versatile.
I liked within the first like 5 seconds... and didn’t even realize I was doing it. I was just excited to eat my lunch and laugh and enjoy your energy! New house and I look up to you for guidance so much!
I've been searching for curtains forever for my livingroom bay window...and after this I was like yesssss!!! and ordered the hilja panels with the syrlig clips! Thank you! Exactly what I needed
Bookcases with glass doors are the best, no dust and the contents are safe from my kitties! Amen to natural fabrics! The velvet furniture does look lux, but what a magnet for kitty fur!
Okay. So, I just stumbled across your channel and I’m obsessed. Not only are you just super cute but I totally dig your decor style. This video should needs a spin-off..keep them coming.
Nobody asked but my home decor style is different yet I am learning so much from you and am obsessed with every one of your videos. Your personality is just amazing. Love your taste, your clothes, your dogs. You need to have your own show on HGTV. Thank you for brightening my day. So glad I found your channel. 💃🏽🥰
I still have a lamp and shade I bought at Ikea in Germany in 1998, a cream colour with a porcelain cream base. Still going strong in 2021. Fit in with the Chinese cabinet, the Spanish rattan 1 metre square coffee table and floral paintings on the walls. Mirrors you say? I have a Venetian glass mirror, heart shape and five other mirrors of different shapes which reflect the plants. This is a great video - and ideas excellent. Vases from Ikea, as well as candles and napkins are my favourites.
Yes!!! Please do more! You had me when you realized it's not farmhouse style but the coziness you seek. (From another video) this has been eye opener for me as far as styling home
That sputnik chandelier are you kidding me? Didnt even know they had such a great style light fixture there! Will look good in a japandi or midcentury style
I got my Stockholm coffee table on a Craigslist ad for $75.00 a few years ago. We call it the surfboard table and love it. It goes perfectly in our mid century style living room. Alvin, your taste is exquisite and I agree with you
Yes more. I've bought so many ikea pieces... But still there are items I haven't seen before. Love that chair!!!! More lux items from ikea. Thank you. Xo
Arvin you need to stop being extra cute!. I need a daily dose of Arvin in my life, so much energy. 😄❤️ I love all your videos. Thank you, you really inspired us with your creativity and luxurious mind.
Ooh Arvin you have no idea the huge impact you’ve had in my life. I haven’t buy one single new item and yet because of your advices my NYC apartment looks like a million dollars worth. Ooh I lied... I bought me a vase 🏺 and now my home is complete. Thank you so much Arvin I think you are an amazing person with a natural legit great talent
My grandfather 1000 years ago asked me a question. I was only 700 years old at the time... he asked me if I knew what was the difference in a 'vase' and a vaaass ... nope. $8.00. I laughed my butt off then as a kid. And still do.. but now we called them vessels. Which to me is like a big boat.
I've had Billy bookcases for years and years, in all shapes and colours. They are so useful and versatile, and a bargain, too! And yes, they have some great lighting ideas!
When I renovated my basement, I used IkEA furniture - tv stand, dresser, wardrobe, etc all in white! Then I just added color pieces like wall art and accessories. So beautiful 😻
Don’t get me started on the Hovet mirror 😩 long story short I ended up paying $100 for shipping but it’s still less expensive and larger than any sleek mirror out there. Great video Arvin!
While i love a traditional crystal chandelier, we had a bunch in my house growing up, I'm glad that they're not super in style rn. They're so expensive and they set a really particular tone for your home. My dad is super boho yet we had all these expensive ass crystal chandeliers. Lol.
Hi from Ohio, Always a pleasure to watch your videos! You’re so genuine and funny ...don’t ever lose that quality! Wanted to ask you if you think that I have any chance of finding that beautiful white and black painting by Sarah Brooke that you have. I’m obsessed with finding it. ha ha. I’ve been looking out for it at my home town Home Goods store with no luck. Any ideas? Keep up the good work and stay safe!
You’re vids keep getting better and better. While Ikea is not really my fave to shop for furniture, you REALLY SOLD ME on some of the items then I slapped myself BACK to reality. This was good Arvin. I love love love you!
Love love love theses options and I love how I've seen these on KB channel as well "Great design minds think alike" and I'm totally here for it 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽❤️
I really don’t know much about IKEA cause I don’t have one near me 🙄 but the way you explain is all that makes the difference 👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽 love the video Arvin
