I love the tip that you made about the bedroom furniture all matching. It honestly made my feel so much better about not having all the furniture match and thinking more about getting pieces that will be more timeless and probably what I will like more longer, and will be cheaper.
I'm glad for the honesty because a lot of creators put out a video that they know nobody asked for but feel the need to lie to justify it. Bruh just post your video😩
Hi Arvin, Billie Jean here, LOL. You have such spot on advice but I was so shocked and then had to laugh so hard that I bought a whole bedroom set. I do love it though and I'm keeping it but I would have done differently if I had seen this video first. (It is pretty though.) I am enjoying you not only for your great pointers but for your humor. You are so enjoyable!
I’m watching this on my bed with a headboard to the ceiling that matches all the rest of my furniture, set against my red tufted paisley accent wall. Thinkin about adding some more print pattern and pillows.

Headboards are so boring now. I appreciate your video but need help because my husband bought a low contemporary bed, and we have traditional home! With high ceilings! I need to create something. Will you help?
Making my bed every morning makes me really feel good, relaxed and confident. And every time I walk in to that room, or look in as I pass it during the day, I get another spark of joy!
My aunt said or you do nothing else, make your bed, and you will walk in the room feeling less stressed. But also shake everything out to makes less dust mites and also make Friday morning before you go to work bed sheet wash day, if you have a machine. Do it before the weekend so your weekend feels clean and comfy. Waiting until Sunday before work makes a nice work week but Friday makes a nice weekend. Make it about you, not work.
I just found this while getting ideas for my bedroom. I totally agree with all you said and appreciate the way you used humor to present the ideas! You are too funny and thank you for the great information!
watching 3 years later.... worth my time for the line at 11:35 "I know this might seem like common sense, but common sense isn't that common." [Incredibly all the advice is still GOOD advice!]
Me too 😅 I went rogue and threw everything away since I divorced, going to move to another home and I have been buying new stuff... Ikea thoo cuz I'm on a budget 🤣
@@camilleliguori7649 This is just depending on the theme of your room And it does take quite a long time But maybe like Cease it into the wall Build a structure (like a second wall) , you ofc can hire someone, and leave a gap between the wall and the structure (it’s hard to explain but like three walls to make like a box around where you want the tv to go) Then it’ll look like it’s integrated into the wall and you can just put a table inside there to hold it up or mount it on the wall, then the cables will be hidden I’m not sure if my explanation makes sense Edit: like a bookcase, or you could get one of those big bookcase tv stand things Or as the person above said yeah you could get a projector, but projectors mainly look good at night/in the dark
Yeah, accent wall is my headboard. I don't have headboard on my bed, don't know why I just don't like it. I would love to hear some design ideas with beds without headboards. And, yeah, I make bed every morning, even if I am late to work. Just a habit . Thank you, mom.
Hello Arvin..yes...I make my bed every morning. I think it as a little gift to my future self. When I go to bed- tired to the bone...everything is aligned and calming. It gives me a sense of sanctuary. I make my bed every morning also because it gives me a feeling of a job completed at the start of the day. Great vid. Good advice and love your energy.
“Nobody asked”.... but that’s what makes this channel amazing; you think of all of these helpful things that many of us don’t naturally think of with a spectacular sense of humor and relatability. Thank you so much❤️❤️❤️
I’m SO glad you said this about accent walls because I repainted my bedroom last weekend and I refused to do an accent wall and painted all the walls sage green and I love it!
I really appreciate that this wasn't just a video shitting on things. I like that you gave thoughtful reasons for your list and alternatives and that you weren't super rude and uppity either.
What I absolutely love about you is that you throw out a rule, then you give the exception. Decor isn’t black and white and you add the greys and silvers in between. I also love that you make yourself laugh.
I always make my bed cause I watch way too much _Investigation Discovery_ and if anything criminally bad ever happens to me, when the detectives come to my house, I don’t want them to think I lived ratchetly😂😂😂😂
I make my bed every day. When I get home from a cruddy day, that room is a clean, calm space to take the anxiety out of the day and changes your mood to serenity.
Since you don’t like floating shelves. What kind of night stand do you suggest with a bed 🛌with storage for example IKEA Idanas or Tufjord storage beds?
I love how even though you roast us, you then explain how we can incorporate the awful styles we won’t give up, into our rooms anyways! In a more classy way 😂🥰
I can't quite put my finger on why I love watching your videos SO MUCH. Is it your sense of humor, your class, your whimsical disposition??? I love it all. Thank you for sharing all that you do. Oh, and YES, I must make my bed first thing in the morning. Like you said, it just starts my day off right, and makes me feel like I've accomplished something. ~Christina
I’m so happy to hear an expert tell me to not buy a bedroom set!!! My mother keeps telling me it’s a must, but I have zero interest!!!! My bedroom vibe is a mix of thrifted vintage.
My parents had matching furniture throughout the house...the benefit being it was all interchangeable, but really wasn't a style. It's taken me years to get over all of my mother's decorating hangups.
An expert? Haha. Right. If you want a bedroom set, then buy it. If you want to mix the pieces, then buy them. You don't need an 'social media influencer' to make choices about YOUR environment...hmm, or DO you?
I'm super late to this party but have to say -- loved the video and your energy. Have to say I don't feel the same about the wall-mounted nightstands! I have ones I really love that have a door on the front with space for a book and stuff. Looks good, so much easier to vacuum/mop (wood floors) and makes the room look big. Just my take! Other advice was great!
*looks over at my chair with all the laundry on it that I wore for 10 seconds so it’s not quite dirty but not clean enough to hang it back up and it’ll sit there until I do laundry and say f it and throw it on in the hamper too*
Well we love Arvin tho...I agree with him most of the time but not always I'm an artist and I decorate my house my way but I enjoy his feedback personality and his ideas too. We all are unique and our homes should reflect that. You are not creative if you just copy someone else's home and not add you in there. I can't tell my friends houses apart huge yawn...
I really appreciate their honesty. As someone who has seen a lot of trends come and go, I need to be “saved” from my own exuberance. Keep up the fun work. People, don’t take this too seriously. Enjoy your home!
Tufting gives me strong retirement home vibes... or padded cell. Not luxury, just real tacky Can't stop watching this - Arvin's laugh = best thing ever
But, but, but....if it's not all matchy matchy, it won't look like we got the whole lot at Rent-A-Center. If u go for black and white, u can use Les Schwab Tires waiting room as a template!
Hello Arvin, I just discovered your channel and even though this video is about 2 years old, I fully agree with every tip. And the tufting? *serious eye rolling* oh I hate tufting. I will admit that one of my favorite headboards I ever had was in my teens and used a standard bookcase with my twin bed.
You know I have seen gorgeous red rooms .....really sometimes designers go too far! And subject to opinion. That one room he bragged about with all the patterns....ja ok he can keep thatnot feelin it in the least and for a child's room I found it .. depressing
Yeah, like every piece of furniture was picked up from the curb or at Goodwill or Salvation Army. And who is this person to be giving advice on decorating? Maybe the same person who came up with the bowl sinks, half door showers or open kitchen shelves. Every one should decorate the way they want and fu*k the trends! However, I do agree that too much of anything is too much, but only if you're selling your home. Otherwise no one cares if you decorate with tin foil and bling/glam excess.
You are a designer/standup comic and I can’t thank you enough for cheering me up since 2020 after the loss of my Mother. You killed me with “nobody asked…” As a bonus my house is becoming more beautiful each time I watch. I’m putting a gallery wall up today.
@@DuLoserXD Hello! Oo sorry, I bet my comment sounded super snarky. There are lots of different options: bubble memory foam style by threshold, the performance bath mat by threshold, textured bat mat from Casaluna, looped bath mat from Casaluna....I’d stay away from chenille (although low chenille might be quite nice if you’re still looking for that fluffy feel). Fur just doesn’t look good when wet. It’s also difficult to keep it looking nice when put in the wash-it’s hard to keep clean and to clean it (in my opinion)
I totally agree. Bathroom floors should be bare. Only a foot towel when exiting the shower. Rugs trap too much (including smells)and need constant washing. Same goes for kitchen rugs.
@@SK-vq8wb I agree with you. We have a foot towel and we switch it out probably twice a week and wash, we have seven people using the same shower (ugh!) Hopefully our other shower will be fixed soon, but still, only towels. Bath mats are hard to clean and just mold so quickly!
hey! i understand where you’re coming from but there’s also a so many different tones of red, my room is red! and i have no trouble sleeping at all, nor does it make me “angry” like some people assume, although some people don’t like it, i actually my room’s shade of red calming and royal, if that makes sense
The home I bought (from a bachelor lol) came with a red bedroom…I made it work with some classy, oriental, and blue accents. Doesn’t feel sexual to me but it took some thought to make it work! I love your suggestions!
Hello Arvin! Can I ask for your consultation? I'm considering buying an IDANAS upholstered king-size bed in pink. I can only place the bed beneath a window, and I need to know two things: 1. What kind of wall color can I choose? It has SE SW orientation and 2. how can I hide the window? Thank you!
Canceling my order of bedroom sets! Me: hello yes! Cancel my orders please! Salesman: is there something wrong? Me: Arvin doesn’t approve. So yes everything is wrong! I love you!! I knew I shouldn’t have done that the salesman got to us🤣
I love your videos. Was searching for how to recover a tufted headboard and ended up here. Still need the tutorial so I can up-cycle this eyesore. How do I sleep at night with this atrocity?
I agree with everything you said but think you left out a few thing. A bedroom should be a romantic sanctuary and should not include a TV, exercise equipment or a work area. A bedroom is meant for two purposes, one of them is sleeping. The other one is not watching TV, exercising or doing work. Also dirty clothes hampers should not be visible; clean clothes should be put away and not piled up for ironing; and definitely no clutter. You should have something that pays music. I should mention that I’m a man and dress my bed day
I have red bedding, red sheer curtains that make the room look like a ruby jewel on sunny days, and a red chandelier. My bedroom looks gorgeous and I love it. 💓
I love how realistic the pictures you use in this video are. Other designers put pictures of 30 million dollar mansions only. It makes it hard to incorporate that into an average American home. 😁
You are great! I couldn’t stop laughing during your video… growing up in the 70’s /80’s I lived through the majority of these bedroom catastrophes! Now, that I am an empty nester, I’m redoing my home and I’m bringing your suggestions along for the ride😁
Let me say I absolutely loved your take on the do’s and dont’s of designing your room. Everything I don’t do you named I’m glad I’m on the right track. Thank you for channel I will continue to toon in.
It's actually not hygienic to make the bed as soon as you get up. The covers should be left down and the sheets exposed for at least an hour for everything to air out. Mites thrive in warm moist environments so when you get out of bed and immediately pull the covers up, it seals in the warmth and moisture you left behind by sleeping and sweating (we all sweat a little in our sleep) and makes a great environment for the mites. If you leave the covers down, the exposed sheets dry and cool and the mites die pretty auickly. I always leave my covers down with my ceiling fan on for at least an hour after I get up.
@@mygirldarby Thanks for the info. I never make the bed as soon as I get up. And, I spray disinfectant before I make bed. So far, no problem with mites.
From this I learned: My dream matchy-matchy bedroom set perfectly matches my "I'm too lazy to bother actually designing this room" personality style :D
So RUclips randomly suggested this video to me and here I find someone with with the exact same first name as me and given how unique it is I had to throw a shout out! Hey girl! Love you name! 😍
When I wake in the morning I do not leave my bedroom without making my bed. I hate walking into the room later and having to do it. It makes me tired just looking at it.
I generally get my feathers ruffled by these "don't do this" decorator types - but I have to say I agree with everything said on this one. And who can be offended by Arvin's witty, humorous delivery? And I truly want that coat!
I would love to give my bed volume and get a cozy big comforter but they are always too big for my washer. Do you recommend anything for not having a flat bad but also not having bulky items to wash?
I am currently designing a guest bedroom for people that I don't want to stay long - these tips are very helpful

That’s right!!!!!
Exactly!!
be lucky u got no mites and bed bugs ! thats the priority
No matter how it is, including non-clean and non-tidy.
What if some people like having their room clogged and dirty and that's how they love it? 🤔

@@camilleliguori7649
This is just depending on the theme of your room
And it does take quite a long time
But maybe like
Cease it into the wall
Build a structure (like a second wall) , you ofc can hire someone, and leave a gap between the wall and the structure (it’s hard to explain but like three walls to make like a box around where you want the tv to go)
Then it’ll look like it’s integrated into the wall and you can just put a table inside there to hold it up or mount it on the wall, then the cables will be hidden
I’m not sure if my explanation makes sense
Edit: like a bookcase, or you could get one of those big bookcase tv stand things
Or as the person above said yeah you could get a projector, but projectors mainly look good at night/in the dark

Jajajajaja the best!!
Hello Arvin, I just discovered your channel and even though this video is about 2 years old, I fully agree with every tip. And the tufting? *serious eye rolling* oh I hate tufting. I will admit that one of my favorite headboards I ever had was in my teens and used a standard bookcase with my twin bed.
All the red in my room doesn't look like a brothel. It looks like a goth bohemian midlife crisis, thank you very much
You know I have seen gorgeous red rooms .....really sometimes designers go too far! And subject to opinion. That one room he bragged about with all the patterns....ja ok he can keep thatnot feelin it in the least and for a child's room I found it .. depressing
He says that like it’s a bad thing 😂
Goth bohemian midlife crisis... I'm crying 🤣
🤣🤣🤣
Thank you for my best laugh of the day. What a great sense of humor.
I definitely want my room to look like a brothel 🤷🏻♀️ hahah
Please do a bathroom, living room and kitchen version of ‘stop doing this’ please!!!
Watching this in my cluttered bed with my matching bedroom furniture set 😩😭😂🤣
Great suggestions! Also, your skin is so perfect and smooth. I kept looking at it while watching your video. What do you use?
The "unless you want your room to look like a brothel" had me laughing and subscribing 😂😂😂
Decorated my room with red brown beige and white with no regrets 😂
Same 😂 I avoid the red light on my led lights
Lmao😂😂😂😂
YES! The exact plan I had in mind. "Let's Git Ready To Rumble!"
"A home that looks like a catalogue is not a home."
Well I guess it's a good thing my home looks like a mismatched Offer Up nightmare then.
Ha! Same!
😂😂😂
my mom used to call her style Early Halloween.
Yeah, like every piece of furniture was picked up from the curb or at Goodwill or Salvation Army. And who is this person to be giving advice on decorating? Maybe the same person who came up with the bowl sinks, half door showers or open kitchen shelves. Every one should decorate the way they want and fu*k the trends! However, I do agree that too much of anything is too much, but only if you're selling your home. Otherwise no one cares if you decorate with tin foil and bling/glam excess.
I love a lot of colors and textures and i am not changing it.
You are a designer/standup comic and I can’t thank you enough for cheering me up since 2020 after the loss of my Mother. You killed me with “nobody asked…” As a bonus my house is becoming more beautiful each time I watch. I’m putting a gallery wall up today.
Awe I’m sorry for your loss
Thanks, great ideas. I am in the process of revamping our bedroom and you have helped show me how it goes together.
Don't ask why, but I'd love to see a "stop doing this to your bathroom" video lol
People still use fur bathmats--yuck.
may i ask - what is a nice alternative to bathmats then lol
@@DuLoserXD Hello! Oo sorry, I bet my comment sounded super snarky. There are lots of different options: bubble memory foam style by threshold, the performance bath mat by threshold, textured bat mat from Casaluna, looped bath mat from Casaluna....I’d stay away from chenille (although low chenille might be quite nice if you’re still looking for that fluffy feel). Fur just doesn’t look good when wet. It’s also difficult to keep it looking nice when put in the wash-it’s hard to keep clean and to clean it (in my opinion)
I totally agree. Bathroom floors should be bare. Only a foot towel when exiting the shower. Rugs trap too much (including smells)and need constant washing. Same goes for kitchen rugs.
@@SK-vq8wb I agree with you. We have a foot towel and we switch it out probably twice a week and wash, we have seven people using the same shower (ugh!) Hopefully our other shower will be fixed soon, but still, only towels. Bath mats are hard to clean and just mold so quickly!
“Common Sense isn’t that common.” Truth! 😂😂😂. I will be quoting you, Arvin! 💕
Hahah yasssss
Red is also an energy color which you don’t want when you’re trying to sleep.
hey! i understand where you’re coming from but there’s also a so many different tones of red, my room is red! and i have no trouble sleeping at all, nor does it make me “angry” like some people assume, although some people don’t like it, i actually my room’s shade of red calming and royal, if that makes sense
i actually find*
Red rooms are actually surprisingly relaxing, much more so than blue rooms I find. Laurel Bern the designer also figured this out about red rooms.
The home I bought (from a bachelor lol) came with a red bedroom…I made it work with some classy, oriental, and blue accents. Doesn’t feel sexual to me but it took some thought to make it work!
I love your suggestions!
actually, red is the best color to sleep with! blue is the color that keeps you awake.
Hello Arvin! Can I ask for your consultation? I'm considering buying an IDANAS upholstered king-size bed in pink. I can only place the bed beneath a window, and I need to know two things: 1. What kind of wall color can I choose? It has SE SW orientation and 2. how can I hide the window? Thank you!
"common sense is not that common" I'm dying. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Same! Best line ever 😂
But it is true🤣🤣
Best quote ever 😩😩😩😩😩
Canceling my order of bedroom sets!
Me: hello yes! Cancel my orders please!
Salesman: is there something wrong?
Me: Arvin doesn’t approve. So yes everything is wrong!
I love you!! I knew I shouldn’t have done that the salesman got to us🤣
"Don't use red unless you want your room to look like a brothel".. I mean... **gestures vaguely to the hooks on the ceiling**
Yas.
Brothel or Playroom ??
I love your videos. Was searching for how to recover a tufted headboard and ended up here. Still need the tutorial so I can up-cycle this eyesore. How do I sleep at night with this atrocity?
Please do a “Stop doing this in your bathroom” video. This is a fun take on design do’s and don’ts. Thank you!
I bet the first "dont" would be Toilet seat covers (So gross) and rugs in the bathroom which trap stuff and smells.
@@SK-vq8wb That, and "forgetting to flush".
The moment he said "Unless you want to make your room look like a brothel", I rushed to my bedroom with my broken foot and took the curtains down.
🤣🤣🤣🤣
😂
hahahhahaha manisha i saw ur comment and made my day lol.
@@dabawenyawifeinamerica8084 Glad I made your day! :)
Hahaha. I love you. ❤️❤️
Your channel just randomly popped up, I love your advice and your giggle!
I agree with everything you said but think you left out a few thing. A bedroom should be a romantic sanctuary and should not include a TV, exercise equipment or a work area. A bedroom is meant for two purposes, one of them is sleeping. The other one is not watching TV, exercising or doing work. Also dirty clothes hampers should not be visible; clean clothes should be put away and not piled up for ironing; and definitely no clutter. You should have something that pays music. I should mention that I’m a man and dress my bed day
the tall headboards startled me 😳i didn't even know those existed wtf lamoo 😂
Weird, aren't they?
Same, til now 😂
Same like ew
frfr
What is the name of the candle
Arvin: don't put red in your bedroom
me wanting a vampire diaries-themed room: oh?
Same an imma still do it..😝
I have red bedding, red sheer curtains that make the room look like a ruby jewel on sunny days, and a red chandelier. My bedroom looks gorgeous and I love it. 💓
A pinch is not a massacre tho.. but seriously DONT!! Didn't u see the sample pics!! Lol!! Jk, but still nooo, really..
"This video was NOT sponsored by Ashley Home Center or Rooms to Go."
Amazon?
Extra seating in the bedroom? Where would you suggest I put that? There's barely room for my bed!
“Do you really wanna tell everybody your bedroom business?”
Exhibitionist: 😳😏
Ahahaha yassss
I liked it
@@savitasharmavlog you do you boo 👉👉
Oh boy! lol
I agree with everything minus the tufted headboard. I'm keeping my side parts, skinny jeans, and tufted headboard!! haha
👏👏👏
Girl same... 🤣
I’m not into the tufting but other people can be. People can be into whatever they want 🤷♀️
Lol
Girl I love a tufted headboard. I do agree that having a lot of tufted pieces can be a bit much but I love the headboard and I love a good side part.
I love how realistic the pictures you use in this video are. Other designers put pictures of 30 million dollar mansions only. It makes it hard to incorporate that into an average American home. 😁
Hi, Arvin ) what do you think about canopy beds ? Thanks for video❤
You are great! I couldn’t stop laughing during your video… growing up in the 70’s /80’s I lived through the majority of these bedroom catastrophes! Now, that I am an empty nester, I’m redoing my home and I’m bringing your suggestions along for the ride😁
“I don’t know who tricked you into buying this headboard, but they should be sent to jail” 😂
😂😂😂😂
... and when I saw the picture of the cell with its bed, I was actually expecting to see a big headboard above it! ; )
🤣🤣🤣deading
“That person ain’t coming back” I’m dead!!!
Hi Jose! I am loving ❤💕your channel! Nice to see you over here!!! 🤗
@@Rayne-Bow8 THANK YOU SO MUCH!! ❤️❤️
I hollered at this🤣
hahahahaha
Hahaha 🥸🥸🥸👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼
Let me say I absolutely loved your take on the do’s and dont’s of designing your room. Everything I don’t do you named I’m glad I’m on the right track. Thank you for channel I will continue to toon in.
I genuinely thought that you were going to say “if you disagree with anything that I am saying today remember that you’re wrong”. 😂
My mother taught me to start my day by making my bed. I can't function with the thought of my bed not being made.
It's actually not hygienic to make the bed as soon as you get up. The covers should be left down and the sheets exposed for at least an hour for everything to air out. Mites thrive in warm moist environments so when you get out of bed and immediately pull the covers up, it seals in the warmth and moisture you left behind by sleeping and sweating (we all sweat a little in our sleep) and makes a great environment for the mites. If you leave the covers down, the exposed sheets dry and cool and the mites die pretty auickly. I always leave my covers down with my ceiling fan on for at least an hour after I get up.
@@mygirldarby Thanks for the info. I never make the bed as soon as I get up. And, I spray disinfectant before I make bed. So far, no problem with mites.
@@mygirldarby thank you for this! I will remember thus from now on. Lordt!
I make my bed every morning. It’s more inviting at the end of the day. And, during the day, the bedroom looks like a nice room, not a laundromat.
M thinking of adding a floating vanity table in my bedroom. What should i do? Should i drop this idea?
From this I learned: My dream matchy-matchy bedroom set perfectly matches my "I'm too lazy to bother actually designing this room" personality style :D
Me too! Plus No matter how matchy-matchy my bedroom furniture is, the room will never be as clean as catalog. All the mess is my personality
Same here! I love the matchy matchy cause I'm not the one to search for various pieces. Sets are best
So RUclips randomly suggested this video to me and here I find someone with with the exact same first name as me and given how unique it is I had to throw a shout out! Hey girl! Love you name! 😍
Agree! Like we put all our design skills into the rooms where we host guests. By the time we got to the bedrooms we were like we’ll just take the set.
@@cordeliadaniels You truly do have a beautiful name ☺️
When I wake in the morning I do not leave my bedroom without making my bed. I hate walking into the room later and having to do it. It makes me tired just looking at it.
My bed hasn’t been made since I moved out of my parents house over 20 years ago 🤣
@@malkies6341 I only make my bed when I know my boyfriend's going to be staying over lol.
I agree plus I love to climb into my made-up bed later!
You are on to something! According to "research" making your bed is one of the easiest things you can do to create happiness for yourself.😊👏💕
@@A.Rose.G Yay!!! Oh happy day!
I generally get my feathers ruffled by these "don't do this" decorator types - but I have to say I agree with everything said on this one. And who can be offended by Arvin's witty, humorous delivery? And I truly want that coat!
you are too sweet!
I know right? That coat is goals.
Totally agree. Love the coat, LOVE the humor even more!
TBH even if I don't agree like a car dog. I find them kinda funny and wholesome. They're not like one of these poyentious designers
They coat is fabulous 🎉😀
I would love to give my bed volume and get a cozy big comforter but they are always too big for my washer. Do you recommend anything for not having a flat bad but also not having bulky items to wash?
This channel is growing exponentially . I’m so happy Arvin is getting the recognition he deserves🥰🥰🥰.
Ikr, 2 days ago he was at like 90,000!!
The editing is almost as amazing as he is 💕
I just subbed the other day, and he's awesome. ✨
I noticed that too! ❤️
Keep shining, Arvin! ✨
I think you mean channel, but I’m sure he won’t mind you saying Chanel. Haha! What a great Freudian slip.
