    Love it benji, it’s great seeing how your style is maturing. One suggestion:
    - I think size up with the rug, this one is making your space look smaller. If not, then move the couch a bit forward to be closer to the tv? The small rug with the couch against the wall makes the space look a bit awkward.
    Everything else is wonderful and I love how all the colours and textures come together ❤

  • @sujammaz
    @sujammaz 2 года назад +14

    wow this is soooo nice!
    it really shows that good interior design is not about perfectly matching pieces or fancy colour schemes, but about bringing toghether all the things you love individually, in a way that best compliments the space. you two have obviously lived there long enough to really know the space intimately, know the strenghts and weaknesses of every spot and 'feel' them like they have become part of you.
    also i love how the many added seating/resting spots show your setteling down/in an feeling really safe and peaceful in there

But there are all the chances that in the future it will start bringing more and more and others will be happy to get help from you.

    Deep style makeovers are often exciting and very interesting looking, especially if a lot of attention to detail has been applied. My favorite style is Mid-Century Modern and what I like the most is its emphasis on the practical, minimalist, functional, without losing elegance. This week, I ordered a Le Corbusier LC3 Sofa from Manhattan Home Design and I think it will look amazing in my living room. I always wanted to have a black leather sofa. Thanks for sharing the video!

    Only thing I'd change is your rug needs to be way bigger, ie your couch and chair should either be partially or completely on it. The small rug makes the entire space look small. Other than that, very nice space.

    Your place has a lot of cool objects. I have some comments that are not meant to be critical but just as my eye sees them. Since you have a media counsel I’d lower the TV and would also display some larger pieces on the counsel. I think the creature lamp would look better beside the counsel than the one there now. Also, that lamp on your three legged table is nice but maybe too small and the monstera plant can be moved to hide the outlet. Lastly, I’d move the couch more off the wall. You have a lot of floor space to accommodate that and it would give the room a cozier look. Again, I’m not criticizing but rather giving my opinion. I LOVE those book shelves. If you’re like me you collect a lot of “Knick knacks”. I rotate and redecorate my shelves often.

    • @benjiplant
      @benjiplant  2 года назад

      I appreciate your comment and any suggestions! I think you have a great eye; I considered most of these things as well. I wish I could lower the TV, but it was mounted before I got the media console, and it would be a big hassle to move it now. I was just looking at a cool tall jade bird statue as I read your comment, and you've given me the push to get it haha. I think I'll put it next to the paper lamp on the left.
      I tried putting the creature lamp where you said a few days ago, but it looked a bit awkward. I think the organic shape clashes with the rigid lines and corners of the tv and art frames. Also, the base on the bottom obstructs the walking path. I am trying to find a new place to put the creature lamp, it's currently being hit by direct sunlight from my south-facing window, and I don't want to damage it. If you're willing to suggest where to place it, I'm all ears!
      I can't move the Monstera in front of the outlet because it would be too close to the grow light, but I am trying to figure out a way to hide the cables. Perhaps I'll tuck them behind the pot? I'm trying to up my cable management game, lol. I moved my couch slightly off the wall, and it looks great! It makes the seating area feel a little closer/intimate.
      I do also love collecting knick-knacks, lol. Now that I have these shelves, I have a place to put them and "justification" for buying random objects haha.

      ​@@benjiplant damn i love that creature lamp where it is, the legs look so good with the tall plants behind it. maybe you could move it in a straight line right into the living room, beside the rocking chair, but not riiight against the side table, so your eyes still see all the tall plants and natural sunlight behind it.

    those tall shelves are so beautiful! and your apt is so bright and airy. i love your taste in lighting, im trying to get a frosted sphere lamp.
    i would buy a second rug, and kinda layer them slightly, (where no one will trip), so that the front feet of the furniture all have something to rest on. for example, maybe even just a light taupe/ natural jute colour that's also very flat, to slide under your feature rug.
    i love your channel and will be watching many more vids ☺ gonna go look for one right now! your decor is so inspiring, and im saving to redo my own space which triples as a work/living/bedroom area. i only have one window, so i want to get lots of plants (fake and real) and to make it as bright and airy feeling as possible
    thanks! 💛

    I love this series of videos and your style decorating! I think that the living room would look better if turned around so the TV would be mounted where the mirror is and the bench behind the sofa and the sofa would be on the other side leaving some room for walking behind. This way you would not have to worry of having the furniture spread out and it would look cozier. Also when someone walked by they wouldn't block the TV =)
