Hey guys! I’m Alexandra Gater and I show you how to do rental-friendly upgrades and DIY projects on a budget. New videos every Saturday! Today I’m turning this 375 sq ft tiny studio apartment into a boho dream with tons of bold colour. Even though this tiny studio is all open, I was able to create designated areas for the bedroom, living room and office using functional storage solutions (like the brilliant Ikea Kallax!) I hope you love this makeover!

Housing that is filled with studio units now that many people work from home might benefit from building several "work cubbies' on each floor of the building. I think of study cubbies at university libraries. This could be available at a small increase in monthly rent, like adding parking fee to monthly rent, for instance. Bring your laptop, cell phone, and coffee down the hall and unlock your work cubby. Work til break, then walk down the hall to your studio and take a bathroom/snack/lunch break. Rinse, repeat. Win for renters. Win for building owners.
Words can't describe how much love you all have given people in these extraordinary make overs! Absolutely perfection ???? ???? ???? ????
I think I've watched this episode thrice…????
It's one of your best!!
This is an amazing transformation! It’s so nice!
I love how these spaces are small. It feels realistic.
How do I submit a request for a make over? Love your work
Could you include the cost to renovate as well?
Do all that n remove them when moving out a few months later? I am looking for ideas. This will be worth the effort if i am renting long term.
Oh dear please consider taking the plant off the newly painted wall. I’m a plant lady and its will mood at the back. Not to mention when watering the risk of over fill. Other wise I love ur fashion sense for ur clients. Go girl! ????
does Naimh's dad have a site to by his art?
It's strange. This lady only had one color that she liked (gold) and they pick coral.
I feel that the great color on the wall would have looked so much better with a white shelf
I absolutely love the living room space, I'm all about warm colours. I never have any white in my space , but being in a rental place like what you just did was great. Great job you guys. ❤❤❤❤ I love you and Graham.❤❤❤
I'd LOVE to know what you would do with my room and art room! If only you could come to NZ and offer makeovers. Having a makeover for my room and art/office/storage room to be more mature and functional but still me is a dream!
Too much orange especially since Ricki liked gold and tans.
The reaction of ricki is priceless ❤❤❤
This is the best reaction out of all the videos. Your parents come in at a close 2nd. Pure joy.
Loved her reaction. Also this proves bright colour can be tasteful ????????
One of my favorite transformations!! The one thing I wish is that you'd painted the bedroom edge of the kallax white to emphasize the separation, or maybe even painted the whole thing white/a neutral to let the accent wall and built in piece really pop on their own
She added square feet ????
This is the Best makeover from AG so far. love the outcome ❤
Graham is so awesome
My favourite so far. Orange is the best.
That wall of windows is so industrial looking. I would have softened them with some gauzy curtains ( mosquito netting style).
I was so hoping you'd select the gorgeous Petra Croton (orange and yellow plant) in the window instead of that cactus. Cactus is desert not jungle.
Now let's put some privacy up on that balcony
The wallpaper would look good on the piece beside the window included with the other wall. It would feel more like a nice lil office nook.
You are remarkable. !!
It would be SO helpful if you wld go for a 496 sq ft studio once. So many rentals are 500 sq ft.
I know YOU could make it seem HUGE
Thanks
Graham ???? Please take care using the saw…your left thumb is in danger ????????????♀️
Oh man!!! Her reaction made me cry!!!!!!! ❤
That tuck away side table is genius
Kallax has a drawer insert you can buy separately so you don't need to make it
Its my living room and dining room colour, I had an ancient triptych with those deep saturated colours, I think mud cloth cushions would be lovely! Did you hire Graham for his boarding house reach?! its helpful when one is horizontaly challenged?!
That was a really awesome transformation of the space. I really love it! The only thing I would have done different would be that I had painted the wall directly new the Kallax in the same color, so that it doesn't stand out so much.
