The living area looks very nice, maybe a painting /picture for that bare wall would complete the look. I would also close the divider just partly to cover the bed so as to give the bedroom and living room their entity and just leave enough room for you to get in and creating like an open-door illusion. But overall, I love your color choices! Also, that big bulb and lamp is so far your best buy, looks awesome!
Hi there, do you really read through all your comments? My dad is an expat of the Philippines. He said you are one of his favorite channels, so he introduced me to your vlogs. He spent the whole day showing me all his favorite videos of yours. I can see why you're one of his favs. Your production quality is quite nice. I enjoyed the historical contexts and background info you provide about the different areas you visit in some of your videos. And it was really refreshing how transparent you were about your viewership in regards to producing Filipino-centered content. Looking forward to following your journey, cheers!
Brilliant mate, a mirror frame above the bed will make the space bigger. Don't put anything on your window to keep it clear minimalistic and uncluttered.
Agreed. Nothing on the window. I would put the plants on the tables instead. The mirror over the bed is a great idea to make it seem bigger and it will reflect the views as well!
The place looks so much better with the lamps! Awesome work! I would suggest real plants for more oxygen like snake plants or photos. They’re easy to maintain too! You can buy some in Divisoria since you’re going there anyway
Very nice Mergim. The lights you chose certainly give your condo unit a warm atmosphere that is ideal for creative editing. I was also at IKEA yesterday and my wife and I also bought lights and other items. We saw Nelly of Making It Happen channel was also there checking out light fixtures. Seems vloggers are into IKEA lights these days. 😀
Yes, the black accents here and there are lovely. You did a fabulous job selecting and decorating your place! I’m quite impressed actually. 😌👍🏼 And warm glow of the lamps are a very nice touch. They give a nice calming vibe and warmth❣️
The black chevron pillows now make sense! I like the black you introduced - my two favorites are the table top. That really upgraded your coffee table by leaps and bounds. Also really like the lamp with the huge bulb. How about some simple black and white pictures on your walls? A rug would also pull everything together. Good job!
As an interior designer, I love the choices you have made. Not bad, not bad at all. Just a few suggestion, you can place frame groupings on your wall where your sofa is. Simplistic and classy!
Nice touch Mergim dressing your condo room. Simple but beautiful. Put more green will definitely add cool ambiance. Good luck & enjoy your stay in BGC.🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭
I like it so much very nice all lamp u bought are beautiful in diff shapes 👍👍👍 i think frame of wall in your bed are one of the missing but its really nice now than before 😘
I suggest you buy another side table and put it beside your bed so you can put your swivel lamp there😊❤ By the way you can check Dapitan Market in Quezon City for home decors, they have variety of home decors/items and cheaper than in the malls. You can haggle also 😁
Add 2 potted vertical plants going upwards to balance the vegetation inside and then also add some paintings, depends on your preference. And that's it! nice and simple, minimal themed living room is cozy and tranquil to look at.
Hi Mergim. I think your bed and couch can be both be placed in the light area. The couch where your table is placed. So both your bed and couch will have a good view. The cabinet can be placed where the bed is placed. 🤔
The black accents and warm-toned lights are perfect. You need more plants all over and another small, sturdy table on the right side of your TV, then attach the pixar lamp to it, slightly facing the light to the TV. Place another plant on that table, too. You got it!
For the pixar lamp u could either buy a square tube clamp wc u could attach to the window frame.. Or maybe a movable vertical slats separator between ur bed and sofa wc u can hang stuffs like the lamp or plants. Warm white lightings is indeed the best choice for bringing up those wall accents. Good choice :)
I love the side table with the lamp and the fake plant, it looks sleek. Actually, the whole corner with the sofa is perfect with the lighting (i love that 💡), i think a black painting/art/canvass on the wall with nice patterns would go really well in that area, not sure though if you're allowed to drill some holes but there are rental friendly hacks that you can try to hang those artworks.
the place looks good, bro! its perfect. just like what you said, simple. minimal. if you're to add anything only things you'd use. not necessarily yould like. and if you're adding something in the future that you need, preferable made of glass, acrylic, silver or mirror . things that usually dont crowd or clutter the area or place.
I like the end result. Not bad. The thing you need to buy next in divisoria are some basic tool kit so you don't need to borrow tools from the reception. You can't expect them to provide you with something basic as a toolkit. JV was never like that. You could have run over to True Value. That would've been a good content. Also if you're thinking of hanging something on your wall, you need to ask your agent or renter if they can allow you to put a small nail on your wall. Because some renter would allow it but you need to pay for the maintenance of the wall if ever you decide to leave.
Wow everything looks 😍 very nice 👌. I like the look and I very much like the amber look from the lamps. Nice! Now you just need a nice rug under the coffee table and a few nice art pieces for your walls and it will be complete 😀. Art work over the bed and a head board would be good and you can put your clamp lamp on your head board for the bed to use at night. A nice art piece over your couch and a piece over the TV and your condo will look nice and complete 👍.
Congratulations Mergim for a job well done. I too am minimalistic.I hate clutters and overdoing things. I agree with you. Everything suits its purpose. Your unit is very musculine and simple but useful.
As you mentioned, your condo really is coming together now and you've done more than a decent job of sprucing up your humble abode. The only missing pieces are your girlfriend and Dollar 🐶... which one day I hope we'll get to see together with you in your condo. Seems like you're enjoying yourself here in our country and we do hope to see you staying longer. More power to you Mergim! Take care always! Cheers!
I love the black colored decoration that you added to your unit. The black accents served as divider between your bed area and your living room area. Good job! 👍
Hi Mergim . I was having fun watching you assembling your stuff from Ikea. You did a good job in your new home decor. . I have suggestion , I hope you don't mind. so, my suggestion is to buy an office table where you can work on your computer and attach that lamp. I like that lamp you bought especially the one on the side table. Very pretty. Anyways, have a wonderful day and take care Mergim . Watching you from Canada🙂
Good job Mergim! I like the beige pillows and chevron pillows on the sofa! The lamps look good where they are. Place the plant in the middle of the window, fluff it out a little. I would suggest a couple of floor vases with varying height placed on the corner by the tv. I would put your movable lamp by the bed, if you could screw it to the wall. Take a picture so you could refer to it when shopping for other things.
People underestimate how long it took to film and edit this video...extra props Mergim Still crazy to think that it has been over 100 years (1910) since the light bulbs were introduced to mass production and common folks
If you wanted for all the wood finishes to have the same pallette you can buy a wood textured wallpaper with adhesive at lazada and just stick it to your current furnitures.
Wow! That looks really good! Having a plant real or not at home or apartment really add good ambience ❤😍 just a thought..how about adding a bamboo plant real or not in a bigger pot that you can put on the floor infront of the lampshade near the window? No need to buy another side table. Instead you can buy perfect size computer table with a chair and put that light you put on the tv for now to it? Also, I think it's better to move your tv in an angle near your window so that you can watch tv even when your in bed if it's possible and if you like that of course. Then put your computer table and chair in the center area of the living room where the tv use to be 🤔🤗 I don't know if youll like my suggestions 😀😀😊😊
Beautiful Mergim! Love the minimalist look of you apartment. I suggest you to buy a fiddle leaf plant and a Monstera Borsigiana for the 2 corners of your living room. It accentiate properly to your glass windows. Perfect for the natural light from the outside. And maybe buy some pillow cover and some piece of cloth that will accentuate your couch and last but not the least a painting for that wall.
Aww!Lookin great now, it incorporate the entire modern interior ,the design genre & aesthetics of the entire space it looked chic contemporary modern condo your choices of home decor & lighting are more functional which compliments the aura of your living & bedroom areas;luv the lighting design you're amazing...all the best for the next exciting vlog episodes take care likewise😊💡👌
Nice Job! a few things to help with storage might help to get a few woven wicker baskets. And a desk to put your computer for workspace and your lamp on.. Looks very nice for the small area you have! Good luck
if you can find 'Loctite Threadlocker Blue', you should use it for the screws as it has a tendency to loosen if you move it often. Most Ikea things will get wobbly over time.
Maybe a laser cut metal sheet floor to ceiling high divider in black or dark gold placed between the bed and the living room would be a nice space definition. The laser cut pattern can mimic the chevron pillow or in moroccan/moorish patterns. IMO
