Thanks so much for watching and I hope you enjoyed. Leave any future video ideas you would like to see in the comments below!
He speaks about 500 million words a minute but it's all useful. amazing.
Yeah, for a minute I thought the chipmunks had returned.
Master Blackthorne I was thinking the same. Like, how did i catch every word he said.
I am french but I can understand him. Not every single word but at least More t han 90 % So happy
I had to turn it off.
I know its weird but I like how fast he talks its efficient, no sarcasm intended
Me too!! I always like to watch my vids in 1.5x speed and I don’t have to with him 🥰
We angelenos aren’t slow - at walking or talking! Love finally seeing another Californian youtuber vs so many slow talking midwesterners ngl
He has great diction and doesn’t ‘um’ and ‘ah’. Although a quick speaker easy and interesting to listen to. 😊
Me, too.
Finally a CZcams video I don’t have to watch at 1.25x speed.
Because he’s already at 1.75 ❤️
You just made my day!
😂😂
This!
Yeah, just skip the first 2 minutes though *sigh*
The Hacks :
1. Have an elevated bed to store things under it
2. Use your vertical space : decor, shelves, organization
3. Use light furnitures rather than dark ones
4. Put mirrors to reflect light and add « space »
5. Have plants, add life in your space
6. DECLUTTER your space, put things in baskets
7. Separate your space to define areas : rug, wallpaper..
8. Layer your pieces (for exemple cushions under the coffee table, baskets, storage...)
9. Use organizational means in other designated way : bathroom organization for your kitchen etc...
10. Add texture : pillows, furnitures, carpets, blankets...
You’re welcome ;)
Audrey Baeriswyl thank you!
Another hack would be to not buy big furniture if you have a small room. The bigger the furniture, the smaller the room will look!
You were my hack 😅
Thank you!!
Thanks 😊
I like the way that you talk fast, no crap
no cap*
@@Jacob_Bisping u don't understand do u 🤣
He literally started a twelve mins video at 1:50
Same. Usually I speed youtube videos up to 1.25x or 1.5x speed haha this is delightful
See where James got it from
You should do a “Getting the most out of IKEA” kinda like tips and tricks for shopping at ikea.!!!
Oooh, if he'll do this, definitely mention the ikea family cards!! They are free, you get discounts with it, and where I'm from you get free drinks in the restaurant when you show it!
@@emiv592 ohh amazing I am glad to bought some furniture from this page , i tryed it is full wood product . This page you can look some amazing things lite.al/SjGTwe
I'm addicted to Ikea!
I don’t have an IKEA :(
Erika Mcdonald Same
I’m from Ukraine, and I never believed that I can understand such fast English pronunciation 🤩
Another tip is to use furniture with legs. So it won't look too bulky in a small space
Felicia Tang it doesn’t necessarily need legs as they can make a piece look cheap, it just needs to look thinner, thinner arms, maybe it’s taller, thinner back, you can bulk it up and add the cozying that is taken away with chunky throws and pillows 😇👌
@@jjbowman4653 thanks for your kind suggestion 😊
Felicia Tang not a problem 😁
“I’m very well nursed” 😂 you are so fricken funny.
Smart
Favorite is probably storing upward-a Japanese concept of building upward due to the lack of horizontal space. And I love the gallery wall!
I absolutely adore you! You not only created a “to the point” video, but you added plenty of detail and explanation behind each point. And your voice is so inviting! ❤ keep up the amazing work.
Thank you for being so succinct and thorough with really helpful tips. My wife and I live in a tiny apartment in an affordable housing complex, so tips like these make me feel like we can make things less dreary here. Thanks again :)
Glad it was helpful!
That textural intro though 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 so aesthetically pleasing!
YESS!!! I loved it as well!!
I love the intro! 👍🏻
Use a small wooden ladder, leaning on a wall for hanging blankets/throws ... or standing as shelving for books or decor items or plants. 😀
With number eight, something I’ve seen again and again that makes city apartments look a lot more spacious. Design your living room suit around not having a coffee table. Even a few feet of wide-open space can give a smaller apartment that large loft open concept look. Go with end tables and removable tables for entertaining or meals if eating in the living room is your thing.
You, and your channel have inspired me to take control of my surroundings. I almost didn't think it was possible to live a life without clutter. Thank you so much, and keep up the great work! 😀
So glad to hear!!
Please do an “ugly dorm room transformation “ because i would need ittttt🦄🦄🦄🦄🦄
Omg yes I definitely need that too
I'm sorry, I loved this in his living room makeover video as well, but 3:14 when the fox has a hat, it's so cute!
A tip I found for lightening up your furniture: covers. Couch covers for brightening up a dark couch. Cushion covers to change up your aesthetic as you wish. Tablecloths to switch on the season/holiday/week, all different colors. Covering something with a light fabric (not too heavy, cuz then it feels weighted and, well, heavy) brings in that brightness he discussed in tip 3. Also helps bring in the texture discussed in tip 10, and you can switch it out to get different coziness vibes depending on your mood/preference (idk I'm an indecisive person 🙃)
So exited!! I’m 17 getting an apartment soon and I’m so ready for it!! I’m a really independent person and always have been and I am so excited to finally have a place to myself 🥹💕
congrats me too!!
i’m 18 but same!
You are couch an inspiration ❤ It’s just unbelievable how you went from “I don’t have a storage room” to “I’m remaking my Spanish dupex, should I do the lobby or the movie room?” I can’t imagine how proud you must be ❤❤❤
Every time i watch your videos i have an undying urge to move out and decorate a tiny apartment
You know how sad it is when you have had that thought for so many times and then you actually move and have to fill a whole new room and are completely overwhelmed
Come decorate my apartment
Clara Boe it’s also overwhelming living in a small apartment 😭
My personal experience with Tip 9: I used an over-the-toilet rack in my small kitchen! It worked perfectly with the kitchen tall trash can underneath and the shelves for fruits and vegetables that don't need to stay in the fridge and so many more.
Perfect
Hi Drew, I have seen a lot of interior design videos, including yourself. However, I have never seen 1 video that shows what to do with all the diplomas, awards, and throphies one might have. I'd like to display them at my home office since I worked so hard to get them, but I don't know how, so it doesn't look tacky. Can you advise what to do, or please do a video to show some ideas. I hope you can read this. Thanks 😊
Loved adding texture and plants to a small space. It is always elevates the look and makes it more homie
You have so much energy in your presentations - you are a delight to watch - such a positive attitude and very generous with your design knowledge!
Never thought of getting bed risers and storing full suitcases under it. Great tip!!!!
That man said "well Nursed" Instead of "well versed." Priceless.
Love them all & so so useful:
- elevated bed for storage
-mirrors & gallery
- organizational shelving
Tips for small spaces
1. Elevate your bed to store under
2. Build upwards use vertical space
3. Light over dark stuff
4. Mirrors 🪞 bring my Malta mirror
5. Keep space alive; add PLANTS 🪴
6. Clutter isn’t cute 😊 put things away
7. Break areas up with rugs
8. Later your pieces with under table storage
9. Try different types of organization
10. Add texture and tapestries
Thank you! I barely got through the first 30 seconds..
Getting my first apartment with my boyfriend and baby on the way! Thank you for the tips!!!
Finally an actual video on this!! Everyone else just rambles, but you’re concise & to the point 🤍
I just recently moved into a loft apartment . I was desperately searching for some ideas about to work with smaller places. I was delighted to find your video and found it to be very helpful . keep on doing what your doing! You have wonderful ideas!
Great tips! Making use of the space you do have is really important
I Love the way you use your hands when you talk !🖐️🖖👍👊👎✋🤘✌️👆👈🤙🖕👌🤙its is so expressive ! Goes along with your creativeness !! Love your videos ! PEACE ☮️
Can’t believe this was 3 years ago! Congrats on your progress!
Thanks Drew. I always had a lot of junk, and now aspiring to be more simplistic, and got rid of a lot of extra things I did not need. Can still be very simple ,and very functional, and I love it.
i may only be 12, but that won’t stop me from saving this video 😌
*I LOVE this. Such useful and practical tips that can easily be applied to most homes and apartments.*
I love the energy and happiness that you present. I have used all of your tips at some point in my life and they all work great.
You seem like you have your life together so much and I live for it you are goals
Thank you for your video. One do not have to bye new furniture if they are dark. Just put white or light colour pillows on them.
Yes 100%! I meant it more if you are looking to buy new furniture
Or paint them white
Hi Drew, very useful video for me! I just brought my first place - a one-bedroom flat in the UK. It is very small, but it's mine, and I'm going to make it my own space.
I am so in love with your assortment style and taste, it's sad. I literally am taking notes. Just perfect placement and complimentary elements. 🤦🏾♀️🤗
this is helping me out with designing my new house, once again! drew, i thank you 🙌🏼
I spent the whole day in Lone Fox channel ^^ Love from Thailand
Absolutely love the space you said was behind your bed and then you said something about it being organized. Mine is exactly the same. I have stuff so it's just there squeezed in. I just can't imagine how people without stuff live. It must be a truly boring existence. To each his on so that's ok. My space (s) is never boring.
I love this! Thank you so much for all your tips - I’m moving into an on-campus apartment in less than a month and I needed this video!
Drew brings so much smile on my face everytime I watch him
Same 😊
I just can’t believe your channel doesn’t have more subs, I love your style and you have so many good ideas! Loved the tips ❤️
So fun watching you. I haven't seen a vid that doesn't make me smile. You have a great personality along-side your fantastic style and skills. This all makes you too easy to watch. Keep making these great posts please!
Great video... I am inspired to declutter my table tops! Thank you Drew!❤️
great video... only one I can think of not mentioned with verticle space is shelving along bathroom walls about foot below ceiling for towels, products extra tp etc ... love your content!!!
your channel is a blessing! you inspire me so much :)
You give me a great idea for doing a living room I was trying to figure out how to do a living room setting in a very tiny place also I think the multiplicity of textures like you said in the coziness gives diversity which also gives interest plus kind of like a depth you know there's more going on without it appearing too busy so that can make it appear bigger too no like different visual textures and feels
I have always enjoyed your videos. They are informative, simple with elegance ,a touch of humor, most of all always inviting .
Thank you for all the inspiration you project to your viewers.
Try snake plants!!! Sanseveria or mother-in-law’s tongue... they are very hardy & thrive on neglect! Xo love your videos!!! I appreciate all the information in a short time frame! ⭐️💛⭐️
Lol "thrive on neglect"
yay another videooo😂 i need this for my small room lol
I love the blanket caddy 💡
Wonderful tips! I'm moving into my first small space and I didn't know where to begin. Your tips will definitely help me make my space comfortable and welcoming as well as utilizing the most of my space.
this is the best video i needed!! life changer ty!! also this is my first time on your channel and i love your personality :")
Great tips! Love the building up!
Omg tip 8 is so genius! I was looking everywhere to see how I can add more seatings in my small apartment! Floor pillows will be perfect and cheaper idea! Thank you so much!!!
I ❤️ ur channel! U always have a SMILE on ur face & such an infectious positive attitude! I appreciate all the great tips & have used many...I just added a small faux plant to my downstairs bathroom. I think plants (REAL or FAUX) add a special touch to a room. Please keep the awesome ideas coming:) 🤗👍🏻👍🏻
really great Idea to layer coffee tables :o love it
Love you! Fell instantly in love with your and your channel! Looking forward to more!
Your channel just popped up in my que yesterday. .... ahhh ... I LOVE your style. I love you too. Professional, eloquent and funny. Yayyy. You found me!
I could use this to redecorate my bedroom ! Can’t wait to use these ideas and tips 🥰
I’m moving to a small apartment in New York in a few days and THIS IS SUCH GREAT ADVICE. THANK YOU. Definitely subscribing :)
Wow this really helped me out, i just got a new place and have no idea how to decorate it.
Oh, my goodness! I randomly saw one of your videos about two years ago, not logged into my own account, and I couldn't remember your details well enough to find you again. Now, this video pops up in my feed! I tried so hard to find you. I'm subscribing so I'll never miss you again! ❤
You are adorable. I really liked that bathroom pillow holder caddy in the living room. Thank you for all the tips!
Watching this for my dorm in London. So I‘m looking for extra small. Still very helpful though.
All your little appearances in the mirrors made me smile, you’re adorable!!!
One of the BEST video I've seen about small apartments tips! I feel ready to move in a smaller space. THANK YOU!!!
I love this energy 🖤 and honesty abt realities of small spaces and use of light!
Your apartment is so freaking cute omg!!!
Such practical tips. Thanks for the wonderful video Drew 😊
AWW Thank you so so much :) I really appreciate it!
I love that fox artwork! 🦊 Foxes are always such a good sign for me. (My son refuses to let me elevate his bed when I tried and lowered it the very next day but on the plus side the ceilings seem higher. There are pros to most things.)
LOVE your black n white graphic wallpaper!!
Thank u I needed this I have a very small room and a lot of stuff 😅
Lone ! This is awesome . Love how I brought in relief (and glamour ) for small condo dwellers 😍😍
Going to our first apartment soon and these tips inspired me ! I can't wait to make the space our home
OMG! That fox w a cuppa! So cute. So you!
My partner and I really went for it with that first tip.
We got a cabin bed and now we have an office 😂
That fox actually looks like you, so cute.
This is the most comprehensive enjoyable small apartment video I have ever seen. Great job!! Thank you so much 😊
Great advice, Lone Fox! My place is 860 square feet (not tiny, but not large). I would like to add that your hacks for making small spaces look bigger actually work for even somewhat larger spaces. Obviously, a barren half-empty look isn't good, either - but people who feel the need to make their spaces feel bigger (even if they aren't really small to begin with) can use your principles to do so. And it seems that, regardless of a place's size, more storage is ALWAYS a good thing. So thank you for what you do!
i would LOVE to see a Harry Potter inspired diy video. For example a nightstand from old luggage, desk accessoires etc. Oh yeah, great video as always!
Harry Potter inspired decorating? Really? You get a pass if your 17 or younger otherwise yuk
Please Drew no Harry Potter lol
@@Rollimggiant im not gonna react much to this. the only thing im gonna say is that the energy that you are sending out will get back to you.
Lol when your early and your trying to think of something smart or funny to comment XD
The luggage /storage tip is genius!
What an incredibly intelligent and creative person Drew is! Great tips, thank you 😊
Me through out the video waiting for drew to start DIYing ...lol
After watching half video I realized okay no diy's today..only tips 😂😂
THE BANKS ALBUM COVER I knew you had good taste
I checked the comments just to see if anyone else would notice this too.
I love the suit case and under the bed idea!
This is going to be so helpful for my room..........All d love Drew!! You're amazing!!!
“Feel bigger, look bigger” then says that sounds dirty... then says “I’m going in full force with the first one” 😂 my mind 🤦🏽♂️
HAHAHAH!!!!
*Me inside of a tiny home with sleeping loft, having a fully functional kitchen underneath my bed*….. “maybe I should get bed risers”
This is great especially for living in HK where most apartments are very small, thank you!
Your apartment looks amazing. Thank you for the inspiration and great tips!
Your gallery wall is great! Do you have recommendations for affordable picture frames?
Go to a thrift store for frames. You can get frames made of different materials. Walmart has cheap spray paint if you want them all the same color. IKEA also has affordable frames.
I would check thrift stores for frames or even Ikea if you want more minimal and cohesive frames. I personally got all my art purchased and framed from Society6!
okashi10 try michaels!
The thrift store like goodwill has SOOOO many!!! Plus it’s helpful to the environment buying secondhand. Otherwise it ends up in a landfill
