I Made Over A Stylist’s Rental Apartment Closet | Ikea Closet

- Hey guys, welcome back to my channel! I’m back with another makeover and this one is a huge transformation! I went into my friend Layla’s closet and made over the entire space, plus helped her get organized. Layla is a stylist and loves all things vintage - clothes and decor. But her closet felt really cramped. Her beautiful shoe wall was being covered by her clothing rails and the furniture she had just didn’t fit properly in the space. I wanted to create a room for her that was open, airy and that showed off all of her clothes and let them act as decor for the room. I’m so happy with the transformation and hope you do too! The best part is that this is a renter-friendly closet - no holes or built-in wardrobes required.

You should do a whole video where you design a room only with furniture and home decor pieces bought at a thrift store or various ones. that would be soo cool😊🏠
Tatiana Zalewski yeah like a challenge
Love. Love. Love. This idea. Shop from home...that would be sweet!!!
Really enjoyed this longer makeover ... pretty but more importantly functional.
Love it. Suprised how the armchair helps tie together the pink and the gold.
Gorgeous! You really met her needs and listened to her personal style while also making it a chic and functional space!
I loved this because I have an online boutique and run it from my home so everything has to be kept there. I also sew and make things for the shop and myself so I have TONS of supplies and crafts. I'm always looking for great storage tips for small busy items. I too use Ikea a LOT in my office space and have recently been trying to do a makeover because it became more of a storage room and I couldn't even work in it. I love your use of the clear acrylic holders as well. Layla has beautiful items so it's fun to see them but you did it in a way that it doesn't look cluttered and busy. I only hope I can achieve the same in my little office soon.
I really love this makeover! My only suggestion is that the curtains should be hung a little higher. Curtain rods should be hung 1/3 or 1/2 of the distance from the top of the window frame to the ceiling. In this case, it would also help with the pooling of the curtains on the floor too.
Are you saying it's supposed to be higher?
@@anuugoo yes. :) That way, it makes the window look taller. It also solves the other problem of the curtains dragging on the floor.
And I would also steam the curtains :)
Yes i agree, but i just think that she didn't want to put holes in the wall. I personally loooove the curtains high but sometimes im just overwhelmed with all the holes im going to put in the rental 😏
I had to wait until it got to the curtains, but it looks like she made new holes anyway. It definitely should be higher. But overall the room looks nice
this was so so satisfying to watch (PERFECT white paint choice 😉😉😉)
Samantha Warden just pulling out a SW special 😏
You have a great eye for details and creating thoughtful spaces. That Ikea closet is a game changer.
It's gorgeous. I have a shoe wall too, and did the shelves at first (actually the LACK ones from IKEA), but eventually I changed them to Billy book cases, and it looks gorgeous. One thing I find that gives a 'messy' look though is arranging shoes like you guys did in this video. I know it saves space when you let some shoes turn forward and others back, but it looks so pleasing to an ocd type person if the pairs face the same way. You can then turn one pair forward, and the next back to save space - but it also looks so much more organized. :)
Maybe becaus its so fully packed.. i have ocd too
My favourite part about this is how you and Layla reconnected. It's very sweet.
Vintage egg cups for blenders for the win!
The mirror hack is genius. For a space like this. Functional and adds that element of larger space. Nice one.
I love the straw baskets with the label attached with a butterfly clip! So simple, but yet so cute 🙌🏽 also this room turned out amazing!!
For people who DONT like an open closet; they can just install a curtain rod at the very top and hang a neutral color curtain (preferably one that matches the walls to further "camouflage" it). Then when you need to grab anything it just slides open like a shower curtain does. And if you're really crafty you can prob install wheels at the bottom for easy moving when its time to get it out of the room.
Layla’s closet is bigger than my bedroom! Haha
Love how it turned out!
Ha I was gonna say the same.
Because it is a bedroom.
It’s bigger than my whole flat 😂
I agree! MOST EPIC! You have brought the calm to the chaotic! 😍
I love this! Very nice and organized! I recently took everything out of my closet. Painted it white, put purses and shoes on display and it made a huge difference ! It’s a walk in closet but not huge. Added cubes, clear tray, a pic of my BFF & I even added lighting for the inner diva 💁♀️
I am now doing my daughters closet because she loves mine 👛 & this is getting me excited all over again! Thanks 👍🏻
This is amazing! It just kept getting better!
What a stunning transformation! I'm so jealous of this closet, lol.
You do such creative redos....simple...clean...functional....and user friendly. We have similar design ideas....but you definitely have more ideas than me. Btw....I forgot to comment on your patio makeover....so inviting....my fav was the light with a BATTERY operated BULB....whaaaat....love everything you do.
Absolutely beautiful/ functional 😍
Love this solution so much! Love vintage, love organization, love the baskets with the little tags on them, love the mustard chair, the added doors to the shelf. This gave me a lot of tips, thanks!
My fave makeover so far.
I'm a huge fan of this makeover. The use of trinkets and baskets from thrift stores looks great. I would live a velvet chair too. It all looks great!!!
Love the mustard and pink!!!
Love the pink velvet curtains a fantastic way to give her the pink but still have white walls. Also I love the fact that the mirror is frame less. Well done.
Love the pink and mustard colour combo 💛
Really well done, Alexandra!!
Great work it looks so nice it is more cohesive. Great choices as usual Alexandra. I want to shop in that closet! 😍
LOVE this!!! thank you for all the amazing tips
Yes, epic! Love the pink blush door! Great job!
Going to use some of these tricks love her vintage finds
Absolutely wonderful. So glad you kept the blush accent. Wish you could've kept the flamingo print. Who would've thought mustard and blush work; the rug helps this. You always make me want to get up and clean something. I want cute too!
👍somebody finally uses would 've & could've rather than would of & could of , irks me beyond grey hairs lol , when the latter occurs 😳 !!
@@Richard-oc3vt 😂
Richard anguiano omg it makes me cringe!!!!! Triggers my anxiety!
WOW... absolutely love it!
From someone who is old enough to be your Mom, thank you for your videos 😊 You are uber talented, easy to listen to, and don't take for-EVER to get to the point! And bonus points, you're Canadian 😉 Keep up the amazing work! 💛
Just from an armchair critiquing perspective......I would have switched the Billy bookcases with the open clothing storage (which I loved the look of) - I think it would have looked better by the shoes & the bookcases would not have been so in your face as u walked thru the door. As others have commented curtains should have been hung higher & steamed. One more thing it might have looked nice to have a removable wallpaper on the back wall of the Billy bookcases - you know behind the shelves - a cute print that would have pulled the pink door & curtains together. But overall the room looked so much better & was fun to watch!!
My first video with you 📽 love the makeover. The room definitely looks much bigger. I love all the details, that you put into it. And, for the Ikea closet nice😻👌🏽👏🏽
Amazing job done! Really love this space xx
Lovely space🥰you are the best!!! Great job and such good ideas 👏🏻😉🥳
Great job!! And she has lot of beautiful pieces but I love your shoes!! 😍
Absolutely fantastic! You’ve transformed this room completely. I love that you made so much space that you could bring in an armchair and fit it in without making the room look cluttered! Loads of room for her to walk about in. I love it!!
Small tip, with love, from a sister decorator... I love your vids by the way :). You keep me inspired.. Try hanging your drapery brackets farther out from window frame, & closer to finials. This allow the fabric to drape straight & comfortably, when in the open position. while also helps create a sense of a larger window. Get me? Best to you in more fun content!! Thanks!
Watching this again. Great job, as usual, Alexandra! Hope you get to do more room transformations like this in 2020
Another great makeover! Well done!
Omg I love the pink door!!
Stunning makeover! Well done!
I have a similar acrylic organizer for my essential oils. Love all the tips!
Well Done!!! I really love the transformation!!!
This is beautiful🌷🙌🏻
Great job❤️
That ikea dressing rack/cupboard is so nifty
This is probably my favourite video of yours! So many great ideas 👏🏼😊
I so need to do this for my summer closet. I have a room like this for summer clothes. I struggle with shoes and clothes in the same space when you have two layers of clothes hanging. I like the way you did the shoes on one wall and clothes on a separate wall. Looks great!
I love this channel . You give me so many ideas !!!
The room feels so peaceful. Love your choice of carpet
Storage help...Cute basket idea options for socks and etc.
I LOVE that mirror!! I need one for my bedroom.
Such a great closet!
Beautiful!!!!
OMG amazing makeover, it went from teen closet room to chic boutique look. I do agree the storage closet and bookcases were a hit and the lamp and that mustard wing chair gave it a cozy feel along with the oriental rug. I have a double closet with the 4 sets of metal paneled doors, a lot of dust accumulates on those openings and the space at each end inside the closet is weird and nothing fits in there and is like wasted space all the way from the floor to the ceiling.
I like the door remaining pink!
She got rid of a A LOT of clothes! The space looks very pretty, job well done!
I love your videos!! So much creativity!!
This turned out so great! Functional yet beautiful.
Love it! Love makeovers in general 😍😍😍
I love it!! It’s so lovely! I’m struggling with my clothing storage space too but I live in a very small space in a RV.
i love it!
I own a attic apartment, and it's make me crazy when i start to looking for wardrobe furniture, all looks so big and in the end i can't use normally my space. I love if i have less future, more space! place for the air.
It cracks me up how what's considered a walk in closet in the usa/Canada is about the size of a studio apartment in Europe!
Forget about the decor! I’m loving the happy, perky vibe you have going!😊
Adorable, great job
It looking so beautiful 😍
This closet looks so cool! Thank you!
You have a great eye. Everything looks beautifully organized. ⭐️
These makeovers are inspiring. I am glad that businesses are donating to your projects too!
I love how you make clutter go away!! I want town my whole house!!
Nice!
Would love to see each video show panoramic view, to see full picture at once!
That pink door is a mood!
I love the lamp ❤
So awesome! I love the white walls with the pink door, just that little pop of color, and who doesn't love pink? That shelving unit from Ikea is amazing! Everything has a place and it does look like you can just shop right off of the rack, I like that feature. This just makes me want to clean my own closet and dressing area and make it more user friendly, also give everything a fresh bright coat of white paint, lol. Great video.
The after looks AMAZING 🙌
Love it! Thanks for inspiration. 😍
Why dont you hang up the curtains all the way up? It usually makes the room look bigger and the curtains are draping in the floor now anyway 🤔
This makeover is amazing!
I like the usage of vintage items to store. I'd just switch her purple makeup mirrow with the Ikea one with wood around it. But WOW that big mirrow 👌 and loooove the light pink touches
one of your best!!
Love, love, love it! I'm trying to make such a room. Really cute storage/display ideas here. My problem is too many big furniture items in there.
Great job. Liked it sooo much.
Dream closet.
Soooo beautiful!!! I love it 😍😍
Great job! It looks awesome!
You are my favorite YT channel! I don’t have anything to remodel anymore, but I just enjoy so much your videos and how creative you are! 🌸
You are so talented. I am always curious to see the final results. Always lovely :)
Love this❤️
You are amazing! Love all your videos
love it!! Im filling my new spare bedroom walk in closet as I watch this!!
I love pretty much all your videos! So talented!
You should do a video on scarf organizing!!!! I have like a hundred of them no matter what I do the storage looks messy. Can you think of something which would actually like display all of my scarves without making them look bulky or messy? I have a feeling you can turn this into art!
Woven baskets look pretty stowed above a cabinet or on floor, but I worry about dust. Those clear acrylic boxes w/lids seem best for neatly color coded & folded scarves. Labels aren't always required.
This was Epic at always.... I loooove it. I want a closet room.
Love it!
Suuuuch a great makeover 😍😍😍😍
First I would like to say, this channel is one of two channels my partner and I watch together. We love it!
I have a VERY similar closet/room attached to our bedroom. My old closet was absolutely perfect. I wish i was joking when I say it took me years to perfect it. When I finally nailed it decided to move about a year after, now I'm starting all over. I wish you could just come to my home and help me too 😭
None of my textile and merchandising training has fully helped to manage my closet.
