Not sure why you talk interior design when your own space lacks any sort of design or style. All I see are Bland white backgrounds in your videos.

Nobody asked but...Arvin, I think this might have been the best decor video yet! Your explanations were clear and spot on! And, while these bedrooms were obviously built around high end pieces, it would not be difficult to find similar pieces with the same scale and vibe - because YOU showed and pointed out what made each element important in each respective room. I think my favorite was the Amber Lewis bedroom. Your evolving confidence, knowledge and approachability have really increased since you first started do these!! Bravo! (you can tell I REALLY enjoyed this post!)

Yes! My husband builds all of our wood furniture. It saves so much money and we can invest in higher end pieces to decorate with.

My room is so hard. A previous tenant made a huge built in desk (like 3 metres long) which goes along one wall under the windows. One wall is taken up with built in closet. And the doorway has a sliding door which takes up half of another wall. The ceiling is low and mouldy. The landlord is supposed to be replacing it since they've replaced the leaking roof.

Here’s one thing I must say about trends, they’re just that, trends. And as we know, trends go away. Do something with your bedroom that speaks to you. Add a little bit of something trendy, something traditional, something chic, something old, and voila. Best yet, it’s your space, create it however you want it ♥️

Once you figure out your style, there are plenty of places/ways to trim your decorating budget and still get the overall aesthetic you desire. When I was decorating my apartment, I pretended money wasn't an issue and I collected images of complete rooms and items that were my vibe. From there, I simply shopped online and at places that had very similar things on a budget, while still paying attention to quality. Also, don't be afraid to buy 2nd hand when it comes to decorative accent pieces, wall art, vessels, certain types of furniture, etc. Personally, the only things I wouldn't buy 2nd hand would be mattresses, decorative pillows, and upholstered furniture due to fear of bedbugs. I know plenty of people of all budgets who go to tag sales and estate sales that are in upper-middle class zipcodes where you can find some really fab and unique pieces for a fraction...also 2nd hand stores/goodwills in the better neighborhoods too. Same goes for the off-price stores, shop at the stores in your area where the average household salary is much higher than your own. I easily do this by doing an online search on demographic statistics of zipcodes that are 20 miles if not closer to where I live. Also if you're on a tight budget for whatever reason, do not rush to buy everything at once. I've known several people who were on a limited budget for whatever reason (early in their career, tons of college loans, single parent, etc) and because they rushed to buy everything just for the sake of having something, they ended up with a bunch of stuff they weren't in love with...or many things that were cheaply made and were not forever pieces...or the overall items they bought just weren't cohesive looking once placed within their space. Don't be afraid to take your time. When I got my 1st apartment by myself, I literally took a few months to discover my style from collecting images and window shopping, and over a year getting everything I wanted. I only buy quality, but I like a bargain, so my place has mostly bargains with several luxe items. But when it was said and done, I can honestly say it was worth the wait and I literally LOVE every item I own, all the way down to the little things. Also, don't hesitate to do research on the construction of the particular items you need to buy. Educating myself when it came to the different types of quality fabrics and threadcounts of bedding and towels, furniture pieces, or the different types of silver plating when it comes to silverware (yes, there are major differences in the 13/0 silver plating of that $19.99-$24.99 20-piece forks/spoons/knives set at Burlington, Walmart, or Target as opposed to that 18/10 silver plating set that you may score at HomeGoods/TJs/Marshall's for $34.99). This has ultimately helped me to save money in the long run because I am buying less items less frequently, all while being of really great quality.

@@annlatham I agree. To me, the best decorated spaces are ones that mix high & low, old & new, coupled with something that represents items or hobbies that you're passionate about...all while looking of quality. I think it's great when you walk into someone's home and off the bat, there's something about it where you know you're in that person's home by the way they decorated it. An apartment/house should never look like a cookie-cut of a furniture showroom...whether Ikea, Restoration Hardware, ZGallery, etc...adding your personal flavor to it is a must. I know that due to what's currently going on, being on a budget is especially crucial...but I honestly feel within the next year or two that it will take the US economy to fully get back on its feet, you will be able to score plenty of great home decor items from the 2nd hand market and off-price. Many people within the past year and even now have been forced to sell items that are still in good condition because they moved, had to downsize to a smaller space, or they lost their jobs so they need quick cash. Then you have the people who are financially comfortable who suddenly are able to work from home and they've decided to fully redecorate an entire room or their entire house. Then for off-price retailers, even though there are many items that are specifically made for those types of stores, department stores are still cutting back their inventory of brands due to slower sales, which gives the off-price corporate retail buyers the chance to snatch up last minute excess inventory that fashion and home decor companies have already had manufactured and need to get rid of.

have a signature colour or colour pallette. then you can find peices that always tie into your existing peices.

I love the clean look of ivories and whites and neutrals. The first bedroom without anything above the bed makes a statement to me. A piece of art would detract from its beauty. I also love the curved chair from the next to last photo but I especially love you Arvin. I love seeing what you wear and love that you speak respectfully yet keeping your words and thoughts genuine, informative, and humorous! You are a light!

The name 'Arvin Olano' just sets one up for a life of fame, prosperity, success, etc. Love u

You and I have the same eye. People tell me that can't see what I did when I see a piece. Now I feel, not so out there, just ahead of my time 💫 I zeroed in on the pleats on the first one, the bench at the end of the bed, on the second one, the drum table, wavy chair, burlwood stand. I'm going to make one with plywood and burlwood veneer glued to it. 😍 Using the drum table in my living room as a side table, pleated organza and french lace in a geometric pattern over some very heavy charcoal velvet curtains over my French doors in my bedroom. You are teaching me so much!!!!

Enjoyed all of the marvelous designs, but who knew Arvin that I was so impressed by Athena Calderon placing the smaller art piece on the top of the headboard to the right as brilliantly negating the need for a centered larger art piece. It does not offend balance as it accentuates the minimal decorative design. A must for those like me that rebels against purity in balance.

I was heavily inspired by RH and Pottery Barn for my bedroom look in my apartment. Love your channel Arvin Olano, I so relate to you on all of your videos!!!

I feel like this is how some guys feel when they watch the playoffs with the sports commentators talking through the game. Like I feel like I'm listening to OUR playoffs in the BEST WAY.

100% agree with you about the missing artwork on walls. Especially with a low headboard. I understand it’s probably considered minimalistic but it makes it feel unfinished and impersonal.

I love the RH white bedroom with the cloud bed, gigantic art work and mirrors. And, if you want me to get up, quietly bring in the coffee tray, place it on my bedside table, and give me a few minutes to assimilate my day. Yeah, see, already I'm dreaming! , lol.

Dude. I bought a Lily’s silk pillowcase four months ago and I love love love it. Omg.

The two RH bedrooms and the Studio McGee bedrooms were my favorites. Thanks for another great video.

I love that rug at the end!!

I can't get enough of your videos, your my favorite designer! Thanks for your help!

about the bed & bedside mirrors, I think the miss is that they needed 2 mountains and valley. The mountains were too high for the valley by feet, not inches. Or the mirrors could have had oval tops and shorter, to give a little softness to the room. It is very hard with the chandelier, the bed, rug and mirrors. I am happy to see brown furniture returning and if I never see anymore chalk-painted furniture, I can live happily ever after. I like rugs on rugs as long as they blend and textures compliment one another. It warms a bedroom and the draperies and/or curtains to the ceiling just make it elegant.

Arvin your videos are just so well done and edited so nicely. You’ve raised the bar in my opinion, as so many others I watch in your topic space are just not well done and I probably could’ve done it as a complete amateur... IJS 😊
