    Forgot to mention: Anything with runner or hinges (dresser, sideboard, etc) - I'd personally invest in quality (solid wood, if possible) if they are used often, as they also tend to hold value and quite easy to resell or refinish. If you don't want to invest a lot of cash, thrift shops and secondhand are a great way to find quality dressers or sideboards with solid bones. If they're only for show and used to store 'junk' then a cheaper particleboard can do the job.

    Hi Reynard! Would love to see a video about combining woods. For example light oak flooring with dark wood furniture to get that cozy feeling.

    Appreciate the explanation of how to know if a sofa is a good one or not. Often a reupholsterer can slightly change the style of a sofa or chair. If you have one with rolled arms they can often change that to simple straight arms, for example. Or they can do a bench cushion rather than having 2 or 3 single cushions. Just ask. And not all reupholsters do not always remove the old fabric, this is called "stripping" the old nasty stuff off.
    I recently learned that good sheets does not always mean the ones with the highest thread count.

    • @reynardlowell
      @reynardlowell  9 месяцев назад +7

      Yeah thread count is often misleading and used as marketing gimmick. The quality of fabric (fibres used) is more important.

    I've had the twin, full, and queen sized Zinus folding bed frames. They are VERY sturdy, don't squeak, and are easy to move. I also appreciate that the legs are slightly inset so I'm not banging my toes on them.

    Would you ever recommend layering a rug on top of wall to wall carpet, if trying to delineate an office space in an open living room?

    I think it also depends how you look at your sofa. To me it is actually a thing that I would like to replace relatively soon as I get bored by it (because of constant use), so I would not splurge. Also, my cats like to “edit” the style with their nails…

    I love using natural fibers but I wanted to warn people about wool on floors. My friends are renting a flat with wool carpeting and they have to fight with wool eating moths. Carpets have holes everywhere :/

    Do you have a link to the "splurge" rug you showed at the end of the living room section? It looks really nice and fits the style I am going for with my apartment.

    • @reynardlowell

      They're from Armadillo & Co - they make really good rugs but are expensive.

    How did you frame the wall art? I don't think you used a traditional frame with glass. Would you mind share?

    Never buy upholstered furniture secondhand because of bedbugs. Even secondhand furniture that is not upholstered should be thoroughly investigated before purchasing for the same reason.

    As a member of the MillerKnoll (Herman Miller + Knoll) North American ancillary team, I loved seeing our Don't Leave Me table from HAY in this video! It's a super versatile piece that can serve multiple purposes (End table, layered with a lower round coffee table, nightstand, etc.) And it's a great price point! 👍

  • @Coromi1

    It is not true that a good matress needs to be expensive. I have an exellent middle priced foam matress with a good test review from a rather trustworthy testing magazine. Cheap foam matresses can be comfy but they have a short life, maybe okay for children due to their light weight. My matress is denser, heavier and I think it will do fine. I don't think that gimmicks like springs, memory foam or latex are really beneficial.

    • @reynardlowell
      @reynardlowell  5 месяцев назад +2

      Expensive does not always equal good and I agree. That's why I said invest in a quality mattress, which if you're buying a middle priced mattress with good review then that'd count as investing in a quality item, instead of cheaping out on it.

    I know a few people who only focus on what is cheap. It’s a turn off. Good not cheap, cheap not good.
