    amazing design! however, it seems like in the render they made the room at least 2 meters wider than it really is, I would love to see a version with the actual measures.

    • @OnilMarteNavarroza
      @OnilMarteNavarroza 2 месяца назад +6

      Usually, renders are using a wide angle view just like using a wide angle lens in photographing spaces. This makes the space much larger than it is but if you look closely at the details most especially on those areas closer to the edges, everything is being stretched.

      If you freeze the video at 0:27, you can see the couple already has a USM console. It's not insanely expensive, but it's an investment/classic piece of furniture, so it's reasonable for Darren to recommend modular seating. (edit: added time code)

    This is so beautiful. I wish I could have a space like that. I’m an artist and recently moved into a very small apartment. I don’t have any furniture in the living room except for an art table. My living room has to serve as my studio but I would still like it to be inviting and comfortable for guests. I paint on very large canvases and I sculpt with large rocks and cement. I’ve been searching for a a studio/living room design inspiration for a very long time, years in fact but I haven’t found anything that is actually doable for me. If I had thousands to spend, of course I could easily make it amazing but I don’t have much money. I’m hoping to find pieces at a thrift store I can transform.
    I doubt you’ll see this comment and decide to help but I’m living my dream as a full time artist, so I might as well dream all the way. I’ve been watching you design spaces on this channel and you are by far my favorite designer.

    @sterlinglewis5700 7 месяцев назад +2

    Blocky low-slung furniture looks hard and uncomfortable. No back support. They certainly are not going to be inviting older people. I agree with other comments: this looks like a cold hotel lobby, with temporary seating while you're waiting to pick up your key... There is nothing comfortable or inviting about this space.
