@@avajules I think something good would be to put a painting/poster and a fake plant next to the new shelf and have the fake plant covering a little bit of the painting or poster.
A bar cart would look SO GOOD by the bookshelf. You can get a bunch of artsy glasses and stuff for your drinks and mixing glasses, etc. Or if you’re not *that* into drinking 😂 a little coffee cart could be cute too. Or even like a record player or something!! Also, definitely have the tv mounted! It looks so much better with a console that pretty - and then you can do some minimal decor pieces !
Yes! a tray with coasters and the candle. the books are either spread out of stacked! For book case maybe have a hanging plant that droops down and some art
For the coffee table: a vase with flowers/faux greenery, a stack of books and a large candle. For the bookcase: Some faux greenery (will not damage the wood), books, vases, pretty much anything that brings you joy but maybe stick to 3-5 colors so it doesn't look like too much. Colors like off whites, creams, browns, amber like oranges, sage green, etc. Neutral solid colors are the best because they go with each other and you wont get tired of them easily. Wall Art: Prints in wood frames or textured neutral art would look great. Sense your walls are white, you can venture out and get prints with color but again, try to stick to only a few colors per print so it doesn't look like too much. These are some of the tips I use myself but overall, do what makes you happy ❤ The furniture pieces you got look great!
@@avajules No problem at all, you're such a joy to watch! Seriously, the 3:37 mark on this video had me laughing so much, I sent my sister this video because that is something she would totally do too 😂 Good luck decorating and can't wait for your next video!
I'm so in love with the Japanese / Asian zen home style elicited from the light wood furniture it's so calming and minimalistic and it makes the living space so peaceful while also making it so bright. i'm rlly glad u chose that style and it definitely makes me wanna decorate my room that way!
If I lived in Hawaii I would slowly start collecting art by Hawaiian Artists. That would be really special and something that reminds you of home if you ever move away. The furniture is BEAUTIFUL by the way! Great choices and a vibe that is timeless.
for the coffee table!!! a circle tray, coffee table books, a candle and coasters. maybe a vase if u still have a lot of space. it’s coming along beautifully
My suggestion for next to the bookshelf would be a tall plant (like a tree or monstera plant or something!) and a big colorful print hanging above it in a wooden frame that matches the shelf :)) Love your apartment so far!!
Seeing you add more to your apartment and it progressively feel more homie to you makes me so happy for you. It’s crazy to think how long I’ve been subscribed to you and how much has happened in your life. I love you Ava ❤️❤️
You should put a tall plant next to the bookshelf and for the decoration on the walls, find some nice artwork and prints and put them around the apartment. I love how it is all coming together and i cannot wait to see the final result!!!
I’ve been obsessed with this series!!! all i can rlly say is add lots of of plants!! it would look so good with the wooden furniture:))) i am so proud of you ava!!! you deserve this & sm more 💗💐!!
for wall decor you should go on a date with connor to like a paint place and do 2 large paintings so you can have 1 for each wall behind the accent chair in your office (like canvases) or you can just find a pretty spot and paint the view (1 spot, 2 interpretations, or 2 diff spots where you work on the painting together in each place)
Love it! I would put the book shelf in the middle of the wall (where it is) and maybe some art or pictures on the sides of it. Or if you want it where it is you can get a small side table next to it with a lamp 👍🏼and if you look up on Pinterest how to decorate bookshelf you will find so many cute ideas!
I love all of the furniture!!!! A few decor ideas for the coffee table: drink coasters, flowers, books, plants, magazines, etc... for the bookshelf/empty space next to it: bookshelf you could also put magazines there and for the empty space I would put a super cute painting on the wall with a pop of color and also a plant or a basket with blankets in it. Hope that helps love you, Ava!!!!
Okay, but filling your apartment with plants is going to make is sooo much better!! Like it looks stunning already but imagine the pops of green with all the plants !! Oh my god yes! But so far, I am loving seeing the whole apartment progress and turn more homey!!! So hyped for you!
these moving videos are one of the few things keeping me going right now😭 thank you for creating a welcoming, comforting environment that makes your videos so joyful to watch🤎 I am so proud of all of the big things that you’re doing, don’t let ANYONE stop you!!
If you move the bookshelf to be more centered on the wall, it will seem more separated from the kitchen and less empty. Also, cute coasters for the coffee table and something big in the middle (could be multiple candles, multiple stacks of books, a big bouquet, etc.)
Girll I love this moving series, it gives me so much pleasure and also a lot of ideas for my own place, and I still can’t get over the view from ur apartment like whaaaat it’s absolutely amazing! ❤️ it’s such an overwhelming experience but also an exciting one I bet , can’t wait for the final results❤️🔥
For the bookshelf or your ladder shelf a sage green instax would be beautiful. You can also use the camera to ass more aesthetic photos throughout the apartment.
I LOVE LOVE LOVE IT!!! wow u go girl!! decoration wise a taler plant and a smaller plant with a picture frame above it would look great next to the bookshelve!! aaaand what I think would look nice since you’re going with the whole neutral theme is a macramee wall decor piece!!
Okay, Ava you need to listen to this. My mom is an interior decorator sooo. Next to the bookshelf, if we’re going off of what I think your style is, I would move it a little closer to the fridge, and then put a plant next to it and leave it at that. And then for the coffee table you could do a cute tray or a tray that’s a mirror and then candles the books Etc. In the mirror I would just leave super simple. But you could use a plant next to it. Oh my gosh it all looks so good 😊 also you could use a little flavor because I personally feel like it’s all kind of the same material in a way but it still looks amazing. Love you!! 😉
Just some ideas lol: - Move the mirror next to the bookshelf and then put a tall plant where the mirror currently is - Put a big tray in the center of the coffee table with a vase of flowers and the books stacked horizontally and a luxurious looking candle
you NEED a circle vase for the coffee table with some cute minimalistic fake/real flowers!!! A pathos plant would also look SO cute on the bookshelf with the vines falling over??!!
Ava!! To help make your coffee table look a little smaller and to help your smaller pieces of decor go a long way, Get some sort of placemat/tablerunner to go on top of the coffee table, and then put your decor on top of that. That helps make it look like you're decor is taking up more space on the table, and covers up some of the empty space! 💕🌺
I've seen coffee table decor where they lay out rows of books and it looks SO cute. Like two or three rows of three or four books. There's one pic I'm thinking of and it's on Paige Wassel's pinterest under her "Homes I Like" board (she's an awesome prop stylist)!
Definitely decorate with plants, you have such amazing light coming through that plants will love that. Your coffee table is big enough where you could probably put 2 stacks of books and a few other things like a plant and candle etc. don’t be afraid of adding pops of colour, it’s a fun way to add visual interest and reflect your personality. A good way to do that is with art/prints and special decor pieces. The wood tones you chose are beautiful and add warmth and a Scandi feel! I think next to the bookshelf a bar cart in bronze or gold could be cool, or a floating shelf where you could put essential items like keys, masks, glasses etc.
Ava, I’ve appreciated these vlogs so much. The other night I decided it’s best for my mental and emotional health to move out and get space between my parents and I. I cried on and off for what felt like forever. Seeing you flourish and stand tall even though it must be scary or difficult really is inspiring me. I haven’t been here long but I already feel like we’re best friends❤️
For the coffee table: a tray with coasters, plants, candles, and books, aesthetic camera Wall space: record wall, paintings, pictures, clock, calendar, decorative organic shaped mirrors, tapestry, lamps Shelf space: salt lamp, clock, plants, display jewelry/accessories, record player
Ava this vlog was amazinggg I’m loving the moving series!! We’re the same age and I got my first ever one bedroom apartment last year for school and oh my gosh I loved it, also your furniture pieces are to die for❤️ for decor ideas ive been loving putting like a cute small circular tray with a candle and like incense stick things that’d look perfect beside your books on your coffee table, and I feel like a big plant on the ground would be super cute next to your bookshelf! Love you Ava keep doing what you’re doing:)❤️
Omg a cute decorative ladder with blankets would be so adorable for beside the bookshelf! You can also hang some tote bags/hats/fairy lights or vines off it too!
also a big abstract painting would look SO good behind the accent chair in the office. i feel like something with green in it would look good with the wood and bring a pop of color.
Can’t wait to see the couch and decor!!! I definitely think keeping the decor neutral w/ pops of color would look great! The color scheme of your previous room was super pretty too!
When you decorate the walls go for art that's bigger just cuz you have so much walls space and it will draw the eye up so the room looks bigger and like the ceilings are higher. The furniture looks sooo good!! I am so here for the mixed woods it's like my favorite thing ❤❤
Okay book shelf, different levels for different books! like chef books on top with cute kitchen related trinkets, variation of fake plants maybe a record player? your white shelf looks fire after you decorated i have no doubts this one will look even better. but next to the shelf, three plants on stands of different heights!! it creates dimension and balance!! for the coffee table like an acrylic tray or white marble tray that you can place your books on stacked by size two candles on the open space not occupied by the books, stack of cute coasters, a distinguishable vase (like the one on your table) with cute flowers to the side without a coaster and i feel like you can add any cute trinkets you’d like!
Decorating ideas: for the coffee table (as some other also have suggested) you should as a tray. I would recommend a circular tray which is either a darker wood tone (like the dining table) or something with silver accents (like some of the kitchen appliances). For the bookshelf you can either add a little like bench type situation or a medium sized plant and some pictures/paintings. For the corner in the office you should add a gallery of pictures and a little plant on the table or some hanging from the ceiling.
COFFEE TABLE!!: put a white runner down the middle with a matching wicker tray with candles and books and a plant....next to the bookshelf: polaroid walls spaced out....the shelves: plants and seashells and books and cameras
omg so cute! i love the wood mixing and definitely think that while you're decorating using darker wood frames for whatever you put on the walls would help to integrate the darker wood of the kitchen into the rest of the apartment💛
coffee table… besides the books… a large long bowl filled with something like geodes. vining plants every other shelf on the bookcase! looks beaut so far!!!
I’m obsessed with it all!! The coffee table could have cute coasters, a small but wide plant bowl full of succulents and books! Maybe behind your reading chair you could have you fav book or film posters😍 any local Hawaiian art would look amazing too. your apartment coming together so beautifully!
the ambience is 🧑🏻🍳🤌🏼the memories that will be made in this new home of yours!!!!!! amazing. and can we talk about how the movers took of their shoes 😩 we love that
My boyfriend and I have been talking about possibly moving to Hawaii in the future (he’s Hawaiian) and your videos are literally so adorable it’s constantly convincing me to move there. But with the table maybe get a throw blanket to kinda hang off the side just to fell the space and it’s multifunctional because if you have friends over they can have a blanket to use!
OMG i cannot get over how cute your furniture looks. I'm actually in love with it. A small bar cart or small side table would look cute beside the bookshelf. If you go the side table, you could put a vase of flowers with your camera on it. I love the whole moving series
A table tray for the coffee table would be sooooo cute. Then you can layer things in the tray and around it but then it can help center your decor on a large table!!! Also a table runner or table mat would look SOOO cute different colors for the table then it can accentuate the long table! Then on the TV council, you should do little decoratives on each end with like a cute picture of you and Connor in the middle on a smaller frame!!! Just obsessed and so so excited for this new era for AVA🥰🥰🥰🥰
Also the new sitting nook in your office… absolutely DECEASED. the videos that are going to happen in that space are goin to MURDER US. the MIXED WOOD. could not LOVE more. SOOO INSPIRING. so so inlove. Great. Work. Just the beginning 🥰🥰🥰
i think for the office you should get a small ottoman or some floor pillows in front of the chair since all the furniture is kinda around the perimeter of the room it will give some dimension and make it feel more cozy :)
All of this looks so amazing. If you want more wall space to be taken up and more color, go to some antique stores and try to find paintings. You can also look online on eBay/Facebook marketplace/ etc. for antique paintings, I feel like they’re usually cooler and have more character than most modern art. ALSO a fun idea would be to maybe make one of your smaller walls into a big photo collage? Choose and print out a bunch of your own pictures and maybe go with a color scheme if you want. Another fun idea is to frame old advertisements, you can find them online and print them or look for old magazines either online or at antique stores. Also, of course, local art☺️ always a good choice. Hope this helps! I love your channel Ava💗🌸
That bookshelf is so so gorgeous! Maybe you could center it and add a plant on each side to fully enhance its beauty? Love the pieces you have chosen for your new place!!
You should totally put a slim table beside the shelves and put little trinket dishes for your keys and whatnot. You could also put another mirror on top of it, maybe one sourced locally (with rattan and wicker). And for the table you could do this symmetrical square thing where you have the books and then beside it a coffee table tray with flowers and candles and napkins etc. Beautiful apartment, really excited to see what you do!
Plants! Plants! Plants! A monstera plant would look so cute next to the bookshelf. A marbled pothos for the coffee table. AND a string of hearts for the bookshelf FOR SURE!!🤍🪴🌷🌿
ouuuu love the furniture! Maybe a runner on the coffee table that is super vibrante? i feel like a pop of color couch would be so bold and iconic! orange? green? blue? I would just decorate as you go. might seem more memorable to you :)
so happy for you omg that's the best youtube series i've never followed !! Can't wait to see the couch! As decor suggestion i feel like a sunset lamp would match perfectly to your mood
I am so so happy to watch your transformation from like living with your parents and moving out on your own. I moved out of my parents home on the 14th of January last year so this is kinda a recap for me. You will grow so much, on every single part of your life. It’s amazing. You can literally feel it after a few weeks. You probably will love and hate it (and everything in between) but it’s worth it. Every single day❤️
