Are the type of people who live in these "before" rooms really going to be able to keep the "afters" looking like that? Would like to see what the rest of the house looks like...
I seriously doubt "before" type people are going to get it. If they didn't have taste before, they're not going to have it after. It makes for an interesting video, but in real-life, it's a waste of time. (No reflection on Colin and Justin's work. They do a great job!)
It s not only a problem of good or bad taste , it depends on what you find comfortable and easy to keep ,too. .The "magic" is not meant to last when you have to clean and tidy up an all white romantic bedroom
@@hipatiadealejandria2452 so you don't keep your rooms tidy? is that what you are saying? lol all roooms need to be kept clean regardless of decor and colour choices
I like their style, but as they have said they're not minimalists and love 'stuff', I wish they'd show what they had done to help their clients to store their stuff efficiently and accessibly.
beautiful transformations. The fellows said they listen to their clients and design the rooms for them. I find it hard to believe that the people who lived in the rooms before were able to translate to the designers that they wanted these rooms styled in the manner they were styled. If these rooms are indeed the same rooms with the same people living in them, I would like to see another AFTER photo ( unretouched) after those same people lived in the rooms for 6 weeks. Changing their space would have to change their habits and that isn't as easy to do.
Before and After photos were taken from different angles, so that is why, in part, the rooms look so different in the After photos. But they are the same rooms. It seems all decorating magazines do this too, and it drives me nuts. Show me before and after floor plans, that is very helpful in deciphering what was done in terms of furniture arrangement, and you can usually then shussh out the rest by looking at the photos and see what was done with respect to trim, moldings adding (if any), wall colors/wall papers, new furniture and new soft furnishings (rugs/carpets, bedding, curtains/drapes, cushions, upholstery colors, etc.)
0:45 Wicker furniture is low quality. It's not that stylish either. It looks fine now in the picture when it is new. Wicker goes bad, and it looks ugly later on. Also, it's not easy to clean with all those gaps (which is where the dust and dirt settles) in the furniture.
An Interior designers job is to totally transform an existing space, so of course, the before and after pictures are going to look completely different!
I won't doubt about their capability and talent , but according to my understanding of designer , shouldn't they give a little respect to the original lifestyle of house-owner? For the first transform project, push that luxury decoration to a house-owner who obviously is a simple lifestyle person ( no offense about the mess up), seriously ? ? for the designer it is safe and easy, but for the house owner, omg I would like to say：" Please kindly accept the sarcasm from designer. " as for the second transform project, the house owner coule like some traditional culture according to the old decoration, but I didn't see designer making effort in keep the balance of traditional and morden, the traditional parts simply disappeared, what a pity, they could have done better ,after all they are experts.
They did stress that they listen very carefully to the home owner, because (1) they're paying for it all and (2) they'll have to live with it afterward. The interview is short and can't go into the full process. Often a designer will ask you to clip photos from magazines or print out from online or save to a special Pinterest page things that appeal to you - colors, design choices, ideas, no matter how "out there" they may seem. A comprehensive package can usually be woven together given enough ideas added to a folder or notebook or webpage that has images on it that appeal to you for whatever reason. And try to pinpoint what it is. Is it the color? The style? The arrangement? A fireplace treatment? A wall treatment? A wallpaper? A carpet/area rug? A polished wood floor? A particular piece of furniture? It all adds up and a designer can usually make sense of it and come up with something that's pleasing. The hard part is when you have a couple you're working with who have very different tastes!
I feel a DIY... what do u think about using large picture frames (removing the glass and center parts of course). Paint them, them smack'em to a wall with double sided tape or small nails. I want that look so bad. I think I can pull it off.
I find them really tacky. I mean can u imagine all walls, bedding, chair cushions, pillows in the same fabric. I would get a headache just in a day living there. They need to show some modern makeovers
The problem with this is..... the "Afters" are not the small rooms the "Befores" are, so who couldn't have a fantastic room like these? This doesn't begin to be realistic, as it's not the same furniture, nor the same small room. I did not like this show for that reason!
If those are the same bedrooms, then I apologize, but I still don't think they are..... the L.R., yes, but the bedrooms look like a much larger room. Perhaps it was the angle in which they photographed the "before" room, I don't know. Anyhow, I tho't it strange that they would do that. These guys are the best at before & after rooms, so I was really disappointed with this show, even tho' it's usually one of my favorites.
no way it's the same rooms or deck. Notice the skylight and high ceilings? I could understand if they said here's an idea for this type of a space but to portray that it is the same room is a hoax!
Not really ! Search home heist colin and justin. All these before and after were part of a show so each stage of transformation was clearly documented. They are the same rooms.
So true. I decorated my spare bedroom that like really nice and after letting a relative stay there now it's trash. My hardwork and effort just went through the window.
They've improved! I'm in the UK and have been watching some of their old 60mn makeovers and half of them are awful! Think neon green and black stripy wall paper combined with black and white zebra rug on the floor. Ouch. Or bright red conservatory blinds and, wait for it: a day-glow lime green leather sofa which was probably the most horrible thing I have ever seen.. honestly here they were never the best of designers..glad to see their taste improved by going across the pond...
