ABOUT ARCHITECTURAL DIGEST

I feel like a just took an introductory class in interior design. It was thrilling. I don't think small apartment design gets enough media coverage. - please keep going with this concept.
If you are looking for inspiration for small apartments, I'd warmly recommend Alexandra Gater here on RUclips. She has tones of amazing solutions and beautiful designs. I am addicted to her videos. :)
I also love to watch " Never too small" , and "Living Big In A Tiny House"
He really did make it look brighter, which didn’t seem possible.
'Better think in changing your school.
"my apartment's too small"
"have you considered not having a bed?"
🤣🤣🤣 So true. LMAO
its replaced with a daybed though, its both a sofa and a bed i love ot
Not having a “real” bed is a travesty. That will affect you daily.🤦🏻♀️🧿
Darren really deserves his own series
100%
I'm all for the daybed if it's comfortable. If you live in a studio you have to decide whether you'd prefer to live in a bedroom or a living room. After trying both, I opted for the living room set up, which meant a daybed.
So do you make it up every night for sleep or do you leave the bedding in place until company comes over? I’m thinking about getting one now 😅
Yes,@@JeniWoo, I make it up every night. I have a cabinet a few steps away where the bedding stays hidden away during the daytime. The mattress cover stays on, though, and I cover it with a pretty blanket on top of which I arrrange some throw cushions. The latter migrate to a chair overnight.
my husband and I ended up having a futon and some floor furniture;
so at night we pull out the futon (and pillows and comforter); during the day we put it away and instead we take out a foldable coffee table and foldable floor chairs
it requires discipline to put things away every morning and evening; but it's so worth it, our room is small but feels so spacious
I’ve seen great studios that have separate.
No way do I want to pull out a bed every night.
Same,I’ve owned/lived in few different studio apartments & always opt to have it look like a living room as that’s nicer to entertain guests or relax alone in. If affordable I do love Murphy beds though, that double as something else when closed up, like a desk or dining area. And they have to be gas lift so you can easily move up or down with one hand.
This should be a series! I feel like I learned a lot in this video. Love the before and after and the explanations along the way. I can’t really conceptualize space and design in this way so this is very helpful!
It is a series, he has already done a number of these, but this is the first one with conceptual renderings, which add so much to the videosl
Getting rid of the bed is a wild call
Darren is such a great presenter, I love how he can read the people and the needs and translate them to average joe understanding :D
oh that mirror trick is amazing! not only made the room look brighter but it made it seem bigger, more spacious too
Not only did I love the final design, I loved how he brokedown the issues and addressed everything in an organised way. Well done!
It is a great way to virtually add space to a small apartment. The biggest problem with small places is the landlords who constantly say don’t change this or drill here. But everything you’ve proposed is fantastic.
Love the design he came up with but I think it’s lacking in terms of being aligned with Sara’s preferences, and the rendering is not accurate to his drawing for the daybed and coffee table. The rendering gave her a regular depth sofa I’m guessing 84” length (regular slightly long sofa), not a daybed, and a bigger coffee table. Sleeping on a regular depth sofa even without the cushions is like sleeping on a slightly narrow twin bed. Clearly Sara most likely doesn’t want to sleep on a twin bed or she would’ve already had a twin bed🥴 Homegirl wants enough sleep space for a guest to sleep over. She needs a deep daybed at minimum. An accurate rendering would show less floor space open in front of an actual day bed and a smaller coffee table. Also, Sara clearly likes a neutral palette… if she wanted pops of color, she could’ve easily done that herself also. My guess is she may not like the warm pops of color with the sofa cushions and chairs. The space he designed is really beautiful and efficient, but probably would not make Sara happy if she were a paying client.
My new phrase: It's not working
Mine is “cigarette tooth” 😂
That’s what my boss told me today too when he fired me.
@@JourneyStand🥺
That was funny he wasn’t holding back at all 😂
Loved how he explained every step of the redesign, especially the part about making use of the light and where it lands. The rendering feels too modern compared to Sara's taste as it shows in her before pictures but the layout looks perfect.
Darren is my favorite interiour designer this channel has introduced.
This should be a series, he's the best designer on this channel by a mile!
Darren Jett is just so talented. The space he created is gorgeous perfection. I loved the idea of moving light around with a mirrored coffee table and mirrored screen, and the double purpose bed and table.
Well thought out and presented BUT so disappointing that it was only rendered rather done. Give him some money and let’s see what it would really look like. This is why I love Alexandra Gater and Lone Fox.
exactly. A rendering is NOT REAL. Do it in real life and youll find out that what hes designed is NOT PRACTICAL.
Disagree about the total white walls. It becomes a cold box when a small apartment is painted true white. The mirrored screen is ingenious!
Loved the design! But white is very demanding! One little spot on that daybed and you are done. For regular use, it wouldn't be a practical solution to use a white daybed/sofa.
It’s really beautiful but let’s be for real NOBODY wants a day bed (where people have been sitting on… leaving their outside germs everywhere) to sleep in, most people I know would probably want that separation of sleep and relaxation … also being that close to the door is off putting 😅 but that’s just me I guess
Same. No one is sitting on (and possibly destroying) my mattress!
I love daybeds.. you don't speak for 7 billion people
Darren’s back! Yay!! Great design ideas. I guess Sarah has unlimited funds for those items?
PS.”Cigarette tooth” is now part of my vocabulary.
Darren Jett, you did a great job on Sarah's small apartment. I agree with you- a daybed would be perfect. I think she is use to the traditional bed and traditional sofa. That may be why she felt she needed both. I like the idea of a mirrored coffee table. You made everything lighter and more spacious. Thanks for the video.
I love his designs, they always turn out great.
I enjoyed AND become enlighten listening to Darren and how he dissects the issues, integrate the residents' needs, intellectually develop the remedy and artistically create a living space so vastly improved that even though it's a small space the redesign looks so different it does not seem as if it is the same location.
Darren is amazing! I would absolutely love to see him, Becky and Lula in one episode of Space Savers!! They’re my faves!
Paper ripping though 😂 so dramatic and I love the design you are a true gem❤
We need more of this and him.
Too bad that after waiting for the final results you see only 2 or 3 quick shots
I love this! Wish it could actually be done for Sarah to post results in the real space
Love the design! I’m just not sure someone renting a studio would be able to afford all of those premium furnishings. Doesn’t seem financially sound.
Oooh wish you’d given us more time to see and appreciate the end result - fabulous transformation
WE NEED MORE DARREN JETT!!!
Love these videos, I learn so much. I’ve lived in my DC townhouse rental unit for five years. The living room is long and serves as the living, dining, and desk space. The kitchen is outdated and lacks storage solutions. Because the unit is long but has many functions, we struggle with paths for walking without narrowing the space. We painted the walls earlier this year to bring color into the space, but now struggle with adding art and lighting that works for the unit. We have a brick fireplace and hardwood floors that we love and I’ve done my best to remove clutter (especially on the floor), but I’m feeling stuck in next steps to make this place the eclectic city hideaway I want it to be
I would have respected it more if he suggested a sofa bed vs a day bed. Sleep is important and I don’t think that’s going to cut it. Plus what if she wants company!
I always get so excited when I see Darren in a video!
The tip about following where light falls into the room was genius and really changed the light in the space.
Murphy beds can be very nice if done correctly. This is beautifully done.
Not sure that someone who can only afford a studio apartment is gonna be able to spend thousands of dollars on all this but the overall redesign does make more sense and it’s a nice dream.
Love it. The space is functional and beautiful! The drape for the kitchen is fabulous!
What I would do is take a lot of her stuff, move it near the door, outside the building, and into a human-sized apartment.
... and thereby doubling or even tripling the rent.
This looks like it is in NYC and therefore is at least $2000 (probably over $3000).
Do you have $6000 per month for rent?
She obviously can’t afford it at this time. Saving and planning.❤
Whoever came up with the premise for this and married it with the genius of Darren Jett. A+
This makeover is intelligently and practically done. It is one that the average person can relate to. No whacko colors, and respectful of the person who lives there.
the coffee table is in the way when you walk into the apartment. You immediately have to step around something the moment you arrive.
Yes, terrible flow.
I would never trust a white sofa, especially with having friends over for cocktails.
Scotch Guard it
Genius, artistic, yet practical!!! ❤
Wow, this was an excellent makeover but what made this video even better was the really clear and detailed way that the designer explained his process. Loved watching this and learned a lot!
I actually liked it the way she had it to begin with. It was much more homey.
Totally
Very cool…but all that white? And I have to kind of make my bed every night? I’m pretty much sleeping on just the couch instead. 😊
Omg the finished product looked so glam, soft& inviting
you lost me at daybed. that was cheating. no one i know thta isn't a college dude wants a daybed.
I live in a 700sq ft apartment and I think this is too small. IDK how ppl do it any smaller. If I had more storage space it would be great. Hoping to learn some tricks following your design ideas.
Some really nice choice, a couple questionable, but overall a huge improvement!
i need more videos of Darren
Love the transformation and the clever use of the light table, but did he have to use so much wax paper 😭
Thank you……brilliant design! So beautiful and functional!❤👍👏🏻
I really want to send him my room cause it’s a challenge for me but for this guy! Piece of CAKE !!!!!
Oh it's an apartment? Final rendering looked like a therapists office
We have 5 kids and share a house, so we have very little space. Our bedroom currently serves as our bedroom, closet, living room, office, toddler room, baby nursery, and dry kitchen. We've done our best to design it in a way that it works well even with all the functions, but we'd love an expert to tell us how to make it more inviting.
Jett is my favorite ever
Ah yes I love stumbling over a random chair and the coffee table as I get into my apartment, also someone living in a studio probably cant afford a huge custom shelf unit
Darren and his grand curtain moments are just the best!! Another amazing design!!❤
The space looks great! I would have loved to see the storage along the wall.
I'd miss a proper bed! I have done with the day bed since I was a student at University.
Exactly. Change every morning and night? No way.
Don’t listen to him, Sara, your original space looks 10 times more inviting.
I love the sound of that paper each time 😊
Decorators white is one of my favorite colors! It works great for trim.
If the original apt is considered "dark" I guess I've lived underground my whole life.... it looks pretty light to me. Regardless, I like the mirror idea. My first piece of advice is.... move. lol. Also... "she's giving... clothes" ummm yes most people wear clothes XD the end rendering is very pretty tho!
Gorgeous transformation!
This guy needs his own channel.
Thanks Darren! I loved your ideas re mirror, curtained closet, lighter colours & improved flow. Personally prefer separate bed & sofa. Not always easy to have both in a tiny apartment tho. Big hugs 🥰❤
Daybeds are amazing!. They should be used more in small apartments.
Wish we couldve seen the rendering a little longer.
Just wow.
It's certainly an improvement BUT there is an awful lot of whites. I think the client went down the pale colours route because she thought that a small space would contract otherwise. You can do colour without closing down a room. @3:01, I saw that the client already had a coffee table, however, I would be inclined to put a side table next to the sofabed in the space between it and the new dining/workstation table.
Nobody wants to pull out their bed every night unless they’re transient.
The space looks more open now but it feels more sterile, lacks personality and barely any time was spend showing us the changes talked about.
The end felt very rushed.
I agree with all comments. Loved learning about the design thought process! Thank you!
I get the pt of the daybed, but id never, ever be willing to fully make my bed every day. Ibwould be angry every night before i went to sleep.
Cool! This is very informative and entertaining at the same time, 🥰😮
Great tips for most New Yorkers
Wow!! Beautiful finale ❤
Darren you are fabulous.
❤️❤️❤️. Wish you can transfer my life with your exquisite design!!!
Love all the suggestions !
Great video. Darren is clear, concise and informative.
I think if I go day bed route, I’d wanna keep my dining table or somewhere to at least eat. I’m not a big fan of those tv dinner tray things.
I love this video, do more like this 😊
6:36 that laugh is life though 😂
I have to know who made the leapord carpet in your redo space…..I LOVE LOVE LOVED IT…..Please tell me who makes that carpet….hugs carolyn smith ratliff in Columbus Ga
Very very bright rendering
I don’t like the shelf above the daybed at all, I couldn’t sleep under that thing.
The curtain is brilliant, hides the storage better.
thank you for making 3D renders this time :)
That was incredible
BRAVO!! Darren thank you for sharing these amazing details. Your gift for design is fantastic.
Very helpful video❤
This guy is so gorgeous
I wanna be friends with them so bad, amazing vibes
Doubt if this guy EVER had slept one single day on a daybed
Who cares?
how is this relevant
Depends on the daybed. I would go for one that has an actual mattress and isn't just an oversized couch.
recently I have to sleep on a daybed. unlike other daybeds I tried before it’s not only very comfortable but also beats every normal mattress I’ve slept on before. you can find comfortable daybeds if you really try
@@louduva9849Seems like people doesn't care about LIVING in a comfortable place for... dunno... let's say... DECADES!
It's just an irrelevant "detail".
What an architect really does is making thinks look beautiful. 🙄
Yeah, design still bleeds to this day.
It's AMAZING!!!!! Who knew 🤷♀🤷♀
I think would be nice is a floor couch small & comfy bed & couch floor cushion add a comfy chair add a small table for eating short or tall
desk should be rotated 90' so your back is against the wall and not the front door.
