Wow, it is mind-boggling how someone with vision, experience, and skill can transform a small space into something so functional and attractive! If I had a need, I would definitely try to hire you. Thank you for sharing your work with us.
I just wanted to let you know that you are incredibly talented. Unlike other interior designers who claim to work with small spaces but actually work with larger ones, you truly specialize in making cramped areas beautiful and functional. Your work is amazing!
I know! I don't know about British homes, but in Ireland they sometimes place the radiators in the most inconvenient places! This is such a cleaver solution, even without the mirror it's just a better way to utilize the space.
Have you ever thought of using the computer table as a dining table? If he can attach the screen to the wall the table could be on castors to make it easier to move. I had an Ikea sit stand desk, but swapped it for a Flexispot E7 desk instead. The E7 adjusts in height from 58 cm up to 123cm, and has much more flexibility in table top sizes, so great if you want to use the sofa bed for seating, or as a normal desk or standing height desk/kitchen island. Base will cost around the same as a sit stand desk and separate dining table. You can get a custom top to fit your space.
@@DanielTitchener you could do some cable management beneath and have it just have two one cable . Most tvs can power laptops and the speaker setup could be already attached and setup across the room like the TV. I'd actually be a nice set up
@@DanielTitchener shouldn't be extremely difficult - I think you could splice in some extendable cable - or even add a extendable power strip beneath the table top, which would be multi purpose. Though you'd have to choose - either movable and add a shelf for permanent items (speakers, keyboard...) or have the option of standing desk (variable height). I personally do like the two table/desk option here though - two people have a desk if they want. Behind the spot where you have it now, could be a good place to hide some low profile folding chairs.
While watching the video I was also thinking about this idea. But because I'm working from home as well, I understand that it will be difficult to clean the table 2 times a day to have a meal. And I just want to have a 15-30 min break to eat and relax, rather cleaning the desk every time for plates etc. Eventually, everyone will end up with eating while working, like most of people does :).
I bought a wall bed from Arthauss and it wasn’t too expensive and it’s absolutely life changing, king size bed in a tiny space that disappears into the wall. Had it a couple of years now.
I was housed in February this year after being homrless for 2 years. My council flatnis similar to this and this is incredible to help visualise how to make the space my own. Thank you so much for doing this video.
by far my most loved series on youtube, I do want more though! do you plan on checking up with the residents of your previous redesigns? it would be really interesting to see what they decided on vs what was in the redesign, I'd love to see that!!
As a starting Architect here in the Philippines, your videos really motivated me to design spaces aesthetically and efficiently. Coming from a 3rd world country, budget really affects the overall output of the design. I appreciate that u really considered the practical aspect at the same time making the space way more beautiful than it was before. Thanks Dan! 🔥👊
Thank you so much for sharing this, Daniel. Living in council property there are always things that we would rather were different because everything has been done as cheaply as possible, but it's amazing to see what can be achieved by someone who has the expertise and the imagination combined in a space this small. I personally appreciate you sharing these videos which are always entertaining and quite often very educational as well!
not talking about this specific flat but post-Thatcher there are different kinds of council flats - some are almost completely privately rented and filled with v bougie people (albeit on a budget as young earners but still v middle class (middle class in the English sense, not American sense))
Great and creative solutions for this space! But may I add, having lived in such studios for some time, that there is an element that could have been considered better in the design: everything is centered around the workspace, and the couch faces the work space. I would have done pocket doors and a closet to the ceiling with an opening for the computer screen-tv to hide the workspace so that the mind can rest from work or I would have orientated the couch towards the windows at 90 degrees. Keep up the fabulous work, I always get tons of ideas from your videos and love the computer animations!
I’m moving into my first apartment this summer (1bed 1bath) and this was incredibly helpful in understanding how to make a space functional and warm! thanks❤
I had a footrest/ puff made for my living room, then I bought a round tray from IKEA, it serves as a solid surface to put drinks when I need a "coffee table" and when I need extra seating I just move the tray somewhere else. I really like it's duality 👍😁
I love the outcome of this redesign, and I always love your enthusiasm! I have the Norden gateleg table and I quite love it; an option some may like is to use sliders under the legs to move it around (instead of wheels). This keeps the height of the table perfect for working on a laptop while sitting in a regular folding chair. To be fair it's not super easy to slide even with sliders, but not real difficult either, and if you're not moving your table around every day, I think it's a great option. I like how your videos encourage us to think differently about how we use space, it can open up great possibilities!
Fantastic layout in the reimagined floorplan. The only thing l'd swap out is the bed, with a proper double bed sofa. Far more comfortable to sleep on. A single air bed for guests can be tucked away.
Excellent ideas for the space. If I may add some concerns, as the owner will work with partners in this little space, i would change the toilet into one with a little sink included in the upper part. That’s something we got delivered, it was not expensive and relativly easy to exchange with the one in place. But it was heavy. Upper behind, we add a half shelve for the soap and a large hook for a towel. Also, a diswasher in the kitchen seems quite necessary, when there is a little team..unless it can become quite smelly from the breakfast/lunch if no-one has time to wash the pan/plates.. And maybe there is a way to find the space for a wash/dryer machine in the bathroom so that it can run during the day without bothering the work. (Many appartment buildings do not allow washmachine noises for neighbours evenings, nights and sundays. After his workday in the same room, maybe the owner will not enjoy so much the washmachine noise after a couple of months.. )
I love how you desing everything and using tv-computer duo is perfect idea. It just hanging in my head that before transformation he make his workspace background flat for zoom meetings. Now he doesn’t have that blank area. What would be suggestive another way to cover back (also lot of cables) and look blank again.
These are my favorite videos that you make! They’ve taught me so much and I really appreciate all the (free) lessons. Appreciate all the effort, quality, and work that you make on your channel!
Thank you Daniel! Great space saving ideas! I can definitely relate to the challenge of maximizing space in a small area. I just finished transforming my 200 sq ft garage into a tiny house! The bathroom itself is only 4x7 feet, but I feel we created a 'luxury oasis'! I've created a couple videos about my garage transformation process to provide inspiration for small space living!
Just found your channel, really impressed with the redesign and thoughtfulness of how a space can and does impact your mood. I’ve hit the subscribe button and am eagerly waiting for more.
Great vid! In addition I would really enjoy seeing an overview of the costs of everything to see what the total costs would be in comparison with his budget.
Idea with desk is increadible. As a person working from home I am planniling to invest in the desk that can be adjusted to stand, but have never fought that it can also work second direction 😅 to be low enought to watch a TV/monitor a comfortable way from my bed. So simple and britiant. Thank you
Very nice, especially love the kitchen！ What about a bunker bed idea? The lower bunker space can be a functional studio and now could place a real TV with entertainment cabinet in that wall across.
I really loved this video as every aspect was looked at very intelligently. There is one aspect that could possibly work better and may be more affordable. He has a projector so actually setting up that projector on the wall above the couch and a screen in front of the setup that is able to go up and down could be a really good cost effective way to have a large tv. The speakers could even still be used as many home theatres have their speakers behind the screen.
So many of your videos has inspired me for our own home and contributed to furniture and asthetic choices. Thank you for the work you do, i watch all your videos
Thank you for these videos. I am a graphic designer, but not knowledgeable about interior design but relying on using my eye. These are very helpful on how to approach design as I am rearranging my studio apartment. Also, last night I tried using Sketchup for the first time.
I really like how you change that space. Even though those are not mine favorite colors the functionality seems great. I know standing desk can be great, but existing table look great - one of the best tables I have seen recently XD I think you might have lost some storage for books etc (previously there was kallax unit), so I would add (shallow) bookcase in front of the cabinet with fridge - facing the living room. I am writing this under every video with Norden: please remember that wooden one is really made of wood and white one if made of chipboard - so if you would like white one you can find cheaper option if your local Lidl sell furniture from Livarno Home line - there is white folding table and last time it was in stock (in Poland) it was half the price of Norden. Also: not sure how it is in other countries, but in Poland there is a lot of Ikea furniture available second hand in Internet - so you can find perfectly fine pieces for fracture of original price.
It would be great to add some units like you had in your small apartment under the window - were they Besta? Make them seat height so they could be used for seating at the large dining table. On castors they could be moved around. And they would also provide extra storage. And I guess it's boring to keep using the same items, but I adore the coffee / dining table you had, think it might have been from Dwell. It is such a clever piece of furniture with multiple uses. However, I get that you would want to come up with lots of different ideas for people to enjoy!! :)
I have that daybed. When I have guests its not very practical as a sofa without the extra back support... i watched this vid a while ago and went to Ikea to try out the outdoor and the slightly more expensive indoor cushions for a modular sofa that you used on another video. If you have the budget, I recommend the more expensive option (apx.20 pounds extra), much better in terms of back support and providing a real sofa feel. In my current set up (a micro studio in a HMO) I'm using it more as a bed so am just using pillows and throw cushions for a sofa aesthetic when not in use. When I move to a bigger place I will need it to perform as a sofa, so I'll be getting the sofa cushions. This Is a great Ikea hack, Thanks!
Acres of space and tons of room, yep! Best thing is that it looks actually spacious, and practical, without looking "practical". Very talented and educated in design.
As a Filipino Architect I find it much harder to design a Small spaces than a larger one because you need to maximise all the space and not leave a what we called “dead space”. Loving these kind of videos and thank you for showing how hard our profession is but at the same time fulfilling because we are designing solutions to our clients❤️🙌🏻🇵🇭
But thank you so much for your work and the way you add your "ads" correctly; it doesn't make me quit the video like I usualy do with other video content 👌
Thank you for your hard work. This was a lovely prospective transformation. And if any of the suggested furnishings don’t suit, you have at least provided a template for now to fill the space.
Well done. Looks fabulous. That bed looks like its not comfortable. A wall bed without a cabinet is very reasonable then you can put the sofa on wheels to move it away. I covered my free standing wall bed with a rug. The cupboard usually around it would not fit due to sloped ceiling
I absolutely loved the design, you taked advantage of every single sqr cm off that flat. Only thing that I would have changed, as a lighting designer myself, it's those spotlight fixtures in the kitchen area, although those are cheap, it will not provide a good light for cooking or other chores in the space, because they create a lot of harsh shadows. I would invested in a linear type of fixture, whith some LED strips and difuser for a more well distributed light in the space.
As a residential designer in the States, I love these videos!!! Keep up the good work, your ideas are awesome and entertaining. Thank you for making the videos. :)
I really like the toilet separate from the rest of the bathroom layout (convenient when you have guests, more hygienic), too bad it's never used in my country and I couldn't do it in my apt because of where the plumbing was
Absolutely love the video. You really transformed this apartment inzo a space you feel happy coming home too. The only doubt I have is about the storage that Juan's previous shelf by his bed provided that is now being missed on. Do you know if this ended up creating a problem for Juan? Thank you for the lovely video, you really have inspired me to re-decorate as well.
Hey Daniel. Great video walking us through your thought process. I also think that the beautiful renderings at the end were a good touch because they were realistic enough to help us imagine ourselves in the space!
Thank you just always great wonderful idea to maximize space. I have a family member who’s going to be in a small studio unit I pick up a few mos ago. And am always looking at ideas to maximize the space.
Wow this is inspirational! I was blown away by the idea of moving radiators I just didn’t know that was even possible. Aside from the replacement cost is this something that I need a qualified plumber to do or is it within DIY and a few RUclips videos??
Awesome video, such a transformation and clever design tricks in a very small space. We bought our first home a few months ago, we’ve downsized a little from our rental, and these videos give some great inspiration!
Loved watching this. I turned over a number of small studios in London. I was interested in making them as good as they could be. Lack of imagination on part of people who would own/rent one staggered me.
Hi Daniel, and thank you for another amazing video! Love the way you explain and configure all these rooms and try to get the most out of every space you use. One question that I have - why don't you use a microwave hood above your cooktop? it's quite an ubiquitous piece of appliance, and saves a ton of internal space in the upper cabinets above the cooking area. You can even get the convection version, that way it'll be a full working oven :). Just my two cents (pennies/pences) :D
Especially with how good Nvidea Broadcaster and similar tools are, the Zoom backgrounds are far less of an issue nowadays. The second workspace would need a more ergonomic chair that needs to be tugged away somehow when not in use, but otherwise no notes. The table on casters in particular elviates a lot of my usual concerns with your designs.
Very nice arrangement. i have only one remark - a sink and electronic equipment next to each other is a very risky solution. From equipment damage to live hazard.
Awesome redesign!!! 👍👌🙏I hope the people you helped redesign their places can share to you their finished renovation. And I hope you will have a revisited video follow up on those projects. Before and after pics will do. Thank you 🙏
Hi there! Really well thought strategy! If don’t mind me asking, why isn’t it popular for designers to advise forced air ovens like smaksak which serve both as oven and microwave and consequently save some pantry space? Thank you and congrats !
Wow, it is mind-boggling how someone with vision, experience, and skill can transform a small space into something so functional and attractive! If I had a need, I would definitely try to hire you. Thank you for sharing your work with us.
I just wanted to let you know that you are incredibly talented. Unlike other interior designers who claim to work with small spaces but actually work with larger ones, you truly specialize in making cramped areas beautiful and functional. Your work is amazing!
He is actually an architect!
You really killed it! I had no idea there were radiators with integrated mirrors. Mindboggling for small spaces.
I know! I don't know about British homes, but in Ireland they sometimes place the radiators in the most inconvenient places! This is such a cleaver solution, even without the mirror it's just a better way to utilize the space.

This is a really great suggestion! I wonder if you could fit retractable cord reels... 🤔

The fact that you consider budget and skills makes your ideas 1 million times more useful.
YESSSS!! was waiting for the return of this series! keep the redesigns coming. love your work
These redesign videos are always packed with great ideas!
I bought a wall bed from Arthauss and it wasn’t too expensive and it’s absolutely life changing, king size bed in a tiny space that disappears into the wall. Had it a couple of years now.
I love the ARCHITECT REDESIGNS series! Keep up with the awesome work!

Köszönjük!

I love this series so much, I'm inspired by the idea to have seats that double up as coffee tables!

That vertical radiator is genius! Also, IKEA truly are the kings of practical and affordable furniture.
Finally a new one 🎉 I love this series!
I've been rewatching the old ones so much. I love the different way of thinking!

One thing though, did you forget to include back the washing machine or just removed it? :P
He integrated it in one of the kitchen cabinets💛

It's incredible. I didn't think it was possible to use such a small space so effectively.
Amazing what you did with this space and with that budget. Kudos!! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 I really enjoy your videos and get good inspiration from them
Thank you for these videos. I am a graphic designer, but not knowledgeable about interior design but relying on using my eye. These are very helpful on how to approach design as I am rearranging my studio apartment. Also, last night I tried using Sketchup for the first time.

I know standing desk can be great, but existing table look great - one of the best tables I have seen recently XD

you keep getting even better Daniel!
Acres of space and tons of room, yep! Best thing is that it looks actually spacious, and practical, without looking "practical". Very talented and educated in design.

I love them separate too, but only if the loo has a tiny washbasin or at least the type that is integrated atop the cistern
Why is walking across a hall to wash toilet hands convenient? Did something similar in a condo I owned and felt icky.
Absolutely love the video. You really transformed this apartment inzo a space you feel happy coming home too. The only doubt I have is about the storage that Juan's previous shelf by his bed provided that is now being missed on. Do you know if this ended up creating a problem for Juan?

Awesome video, such a transformation and clever design tricks in a very small space. We bought our first home a few months ago, we’ve downsized a little from our rental, and these videos give some great inspiration!
Wooow, amazing! Affordable, functional, AND beautiful. ..btw love the wall decor over the desk!
Loved watching this. I turned over a number of small studios in London. I was interested in making them as good as they could be. Lack of imagination on part of people who would own/rent one staggered me.
Great Work! Thanks for keeping the bathroom untouched!
Hi Daniel, and thank you for another amazing video! Love the way you explain and configure all these rooms and try to get the most out of every space you use.
One question that I have - why don't you use a microwave hood above your cooktop? it's quite an ubiquitous piece of appliance, and saves a ton of internal space in the upper cabinets above the cooking area. You can even get the convection version, that way it'll be a full working oven :). Just my two cents (pennies/pences) :D
Especially with how good Nvidea Broadcaster and similar tools are, the Zoom backgrounds are far less of an issue nowadays. The second workspace would need a more ergonomic chair that needs to be tugged away somehow when not in use, but otherwise no notes. The table on casters in particular elviates a lot of my usual concerns with your designs.
A seriously amazing transformation, so sensitively done and aesthetically pleasing, in such a tiny space!
I'm moving into my first studio apartment soon! I hope to get some inspiration from this video
Minimalist design philosophy used to its best form and functionality. Thanks for sharing your fantastic ideas!😊
Brilliant as usual ! functionality over design yet you made it go hand in hand with a neat design
Easily one of my favorite series on RUclips 🙌🏻
The Architect Redesign is a great concept. Love watching them.
This video has given me inspiration to organize my space. Thank you!
Very nice arrangement. i have only one remark - a sink and electronic equipment next to each other is a very risky solution. From equipment damage to live hazard.
Amazing design! It looks sooo clean and smooth!
You are a wizard at creating calm living in such small spaces.
Awesome redesign!!! 👍👌🙏I hope the people you helped redesign their places can share to you their finished renovation. And I hope you will have a revisited video follow up on those projects. Before and after pics will do. Thank you 🙏
Your videos are really great,
Great aesthetics AND attention to functionality !
The new kitchen design is the most satisfying for me.
Ingenious solution. Always look forward to your videos.
Hi there! Really well thought strategy! If don’t mind me asking, why isn’t it popular for designers to advise forced air ovens like smaksak which serve both as oven and microwave and consequently save some pantry space? Thank you and congrats !
wow you are a sketchup wizard with a vision, transferred that apartment with a bombardment of insight
Another home run. This is such a great series
