Today’s video is one I’ve never done before. I’m surprising my sister with a minimal bedroom makeover. She sent me one photo for inspo, and I had to try and …
Minimalist aesthetic and minimalism: 2 different things.
Atleast that's what the comments on this video has taught me.
Todo va teniendo forma bonita hasta q viste la cama… Definitivamente ella no viste bien las camas, en todos sus videos de dormitorios, la cama queda mal.
Hate fairy lights…so sloppy. Also that messy cord on the Scandi light…violates my sense of order! LOL!! Pull it straight down and hide the excess under the bed.
Alexandra has done some exceptional work, but this makeover falls far short. Design is hard, and we learn by trying. Agree with the comments that this did not follow the design brief from her sister: she took out all practical storage, the hanging clothes thing is cluttered (*not* minimal), the latter is also impractical and unnecessary, the tassels and beige aren't the clean lines her sis asked her for.
Got hose pom poms in I see! Lol
(Watching video) A ladder with lights? Yuck …. Basket flipped over for bedside table? No way! … Taking out the dresser and bringing in a DIY shelf-thingie? Whhhaattt?? (After it’s all put together) That looks …. amazing. That looks great, actually. How does she DO that?!
I don't really think this is minimal but it's okay
The ladder and hanging light to me is what made this space look messy. Alexandra should have taken her time to hang the light properly without tangles and the lights should have went on the wall not the ladder. And the Audrey print should have went above the bed. There are some neat pieces throughout this makeover but it really didn’t go smoothly together.
No hate to Alexandra though!

I feel that people sometimes completely miss the meaning, point and purpose of minimalism. This is very pretty, but it's FAR from minimalism.
I personally love your channel but didn't liked this video 🙁 ! I am a minimalist too .
Wow Alexandra had a whole lot of negative Nancies back in the day.
When she says minimal what she really means is MCM(ish)
Not to be mean, but are you jealous of your sister?
Reality check. If ANYONE tried to redecorate my room, but me- it's on. As someone who adores black and white- I only have solid wood furniture painted black by me. The brown furniture was painful. 🙄
Very plain color.
One of the Best Ideas of BEDROOM MAKEOVER is "SoundProof Curtains" That Stops Outside Noise by 80% (25 Db). Check Here: https://livesoundproof.com/best-soundproof-curtains/
This is the most impractical makeover I've ever seen and it looks nothing like the inspo photo her sister gave her. And that $100 ladder was MOST of the budget??? Ridiculous!
Publicly mocking her taste in clothes tut tut
A true minimalist sleeps on the floor 😒
How many minutes do you think it took her sister to drag the dresser back into the room?
My living room has zero overhead lights, that bracket lamp hack is amazing
Awww Martyyyyyyyyy
Who is back here for the comments after seeing the latest video? 🙋♀️
You are indeed sisters the way you talked and the reactions. 😂😍
I love this channel but I’m on this video specifically for the comments. 😂🍿
I don't really understand ladders 😭 and how they're "useful storage"
It’s horrible. You can be minimalist and also stylish; this is neither. Minimalism doesn’t mean getting rid of useful items (eg, dresser) and replacing them with useless ones (a ladder!?!). Why did she not copy the photo of her sister’s dream bedroom? I am a big fan of Alexandra’s and normally love her makeovers, but she really bombed here.
Clean and simple bedrom
I like this
Noooooooo 😭
Don’t like it at all, it’s like you did nothing. 👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻
Curious what this room looks like now…is the ladder still there 😂
I know this video is a year old but I think since then, Alexandra has really improved. I loved what she did with her friend Carla’s loft. I think she owes her sister a better makeover. Always functionality before how it looks. That is the key for interrupt design. I am not saying but I have surely heard a lot of them say that.
Maybe you should research more about what "minimalism" means. Because your make over room is the oposite. If Anything, the room before was even more minimalistic. Hate it when people jump on a trend train without realy understanding the concept. I would highly recommend the books, Essential, The Joy of less and Marie Kondos book.

Currently moving into my new place and this was helpful!
I think you could of maybe just trimmed the dresser top board to fit the space
