Home Office Makeover on a Budget: Before & After
I turned a tiny 150 sqft attic room (completely messed up) into a Minimal Home Studio for my future adventures as Interior Design Student.
I struggle with this issue; I find it difficult to tolerate anything that isn't perfectly organized!

Thank you all for the insane support! Consider subscribe to the channel, it would mean the world to me! 🙏 PS: I just linked the SOFTWARES, FURNITURE, TECH, SONGS in the video description to make it easier 💪
the table position with the computer turned to a way where whoever get into de room cannot see you watching a porn is genius, dude!
@@fmalu 🤣🤣🤣
🤣🤙@@lauro.dominici
Maybe the battery chargers need more air? (Not shure)
I can’t find the links to the items. What is the link for laptop stand with dual arm please
Bro, you stole our hearts without saying a word, until the end, which was perfect. I enjoyed every second of this video, thank you
I am delighted to hear hear that!🙏🙏 Thank you very much...
Wow, I’m so impressed with your ability to design this space, from the early sketches to designing with the computer program, to converting to the physical space. You worked so hard and it paid off. The office is beautiful!
Thank you so much!! It is not always easy to create something everybody likes, but in this project I put all I am to make it nice, because this is what I love! Thank you for the huge support!!♥️
I agree with Patricia. Excellent
This is all for show. He accomplished exactly nothing with all this nonsense. The room turned out basic bitch as fuck. The editing, the music, the crap story line. Everything is a copy of every other "video making"-youtuber out there.
I agree. After seeing the room at first, I really wasn't expecting this result at the end. Masterpiece!
I've watched probably 200+ home office tours and this is easily in the top 5. You walked us through the whole process, your aesthetics were on point (like I prefer and like), the ASMR, end result, everything. Please post more such videos! 🙌
This is a very bold statement, I am truly honored to receive such a compliment! Thank you so much! You are looking more videos, then we are on the same page, I won't let you down!!! 💪
This was an incredible renovation and beautiful set up! Where in the world did you get your chair?? I love it!

brooo??? 200+ tf dont u have anything to do in life??
@@hiteshwarthakur1527 yeah bro.. just like you found the time to judge and reply a stranger
I like the style of this video, so calming, so professional
Every time I was watching somebody else similar videos I've always wanted to make my one so here we are! Thank you so much for the positive feedback!
This is such a great video!!! I can’t imagine the amount of time and effort it took to not only complete the project but also film and edit as well! ❤️
The only thing I can say is that it worths!😉 Thank you so much for the support!🙏
@@lauro.dominici of course! You have a new subscriber in me 💪🏽
And in me 😊 subscribed
What a simple, yet clever desk setup! I never thought to hide the pegboard in a drawer!
I like clear and minimal furnishing style! A pegboard on the wall was just a huge amount of nonsense wires all around!😱
I agree, This is a really great idea. I'm willing to do something as close as I can. Great work!
Seriously, what an awesome transformation. Simple yet elegant and functional.
Thank you!!🙏🙏
I'm impressed with all the steps (measurements, research, modeling) you did before doing the actual makeover. The result is obviously worth it, totally a space in which anyone would like to work. And all the storage you have, I'm jealous. :)) Great job, Lauro!
A fun fact not easy to spot from the video is the room temperature! Since I wanted to record every single original sounds I had to keep always the a/c turned off working someday at 95°F! 🤣 Thanks for appreciating the hard work!🙌
My man turned into Leonardo da Vinci for this video. Just masterpiece of a video. Keep it up this good work. I'm subscribed.
Ahahah🤣🤣🤣 You really made my day with this comment!!!
This was beautiful to watch. The filming, the editing, the colours, the tech, the Organization, each thing having its own place, the way everything came together so beautifully in the end. Chefs kiss.
Your words very nice, thank you so much!🙏
the feeling you showed at the end is just pure excitement and happyness for the end result of your own work/labor. Awesome vid!
Glad you enjoyed it!🙏🙏
The best designed video, space, desksetep everything your creativity was flowing from everything you were touching.❤
Thank you so much, it really means a lot to me!🙏🙏
this is an exciting, clear, and inspiring home-office setup. A lot of work was done, however, the result is impressive! Great job!
So glad to hear that!!! Thank you!🙌
This is probably the best setup makeover that I have seen. Right from the planning, design and the execution. The silence and the music was just so mesmerizing! Please keep up the good work. And yeah, I subscribed, obviously! 😄
Wow, thank you!🙏🙏🙏 I feel blessed to have such an amazing support from all of you guys!!!💪💪
Well done! This level of organization you've implemented will change your life!
Thanks a lot!!🙏 Actually it already did!!💪💪
Really satisfying watching the whole process of renovation!!
Thank you so much!! 🙏
I loved the whole setting, but the way you did the gray cabinets was really incredible, inspiring
Very happy you enjoyed it!🙏🙏
So no one is talking about the quality of the video and the amount of subscribers you have? It's absolutely amazing that you put this much effort into editing when others with such high subscriber counts don't ever come close. Definitely just earned a subscribe from me!
You are too kind!!😇 I just started this channel 3 weeks ago but I am definitely doing my best to bring quality content! Very happy you enjoyed it! More contents coming soon!💪
@@lauro.dominici Can't wait to watch them!!
the result truly amazing
Thank you!!💪💪
One of the best desk setup imo. I love it! Congrats!
Glad you like it! 🙏
I love how this video is made, this is fun, educative and relaxing at the same time (congrats! it looks great)
Thank you so much! 🙏🙏
simply stunning. You made the process so chilling and inspiring at the same time. This gives me lots of motivation to rework my space
That's amazing, really glad you liked it!💪💪
Wowwww this looks extremely clean and cozyyyy
Thank you so much! 🙏
This is the most soothing and satisfying thing I've ever seen.
Wow, this is a very bold statement!!🙏💪
Man, your minimal (because it can be called Minimal) space turned out GREAT. I am stunned, everythng is well planned even if it's so simple. I have the same room layout exept for a window in front of the door and not a ceiling one, so this is inspiring. Stupendo.
Thank you so much!!! I really appreciate your feedback!! 🙏
Amazing video Lauro! That's a hell of a good start with your channel, office is looking clean, minimalist and confortable. Let me just add that i missed a night footage to see the lighting work that you've done, but everything else is ... chef's kiss!
Thank you so much!!🙏🙏 You know what, honestly speaking the 2 lights I installed are far away to provide a good lighting - the result is a very dark room. I knew it since the beginning, the idea was having an Aperture 120d, always install in a light tripod to fill properly, with accuracy and no flickering the whole room. I will record a lot of video in there and I needed something spot on! Very good point yours though!💪
Wow, the quality of this video, and the ability to do all this by yourself, just amazing!
Thank you very much!🙏🙏
This turned out amazing! The quality of the video and editing is 10/10. You inspired me to do my room makeover with the same colour pallet. Keep up the good work 👏👏👏.
Wow!!! I am very honored to hear that!!! Glad it helps you out!!💪💪
An amazing and inspiring video, I love that you took us on the journey from design to creation and didn’t add any fluff to it was entertaining and to the point. You deserve more subs for such an amazing work. Hope to see more videos from you wether its this one or other types, subbed ❤👍
Thank you so much for the support!!!🙏🙏 Working on a new video... stay tuned!😎
When everything has a home, it makes the space feel more calm. Great video and beautiful space!
So true!😇
800 Subscribers is criminal. The attention to detail for your cuts of the baskets coming off your shelves to match the keys of the piano was incredible. Well done. Please keep it up. That was amazing.
What should I say, I love what I do!! And the subscribers thing, I like even more starting from scratch - it is pushing me much more to gain your trust with all the future content I have in the pipeline!💪💪
Love it! The whole concept, the "production", the end result, the colors, the planning, the lightning, the perfectly positioned under the desk appliances, the attention to details, the thoroughness.. all of them are creating an awesome whole! Cheers! Cannot find the best words to describe :)
You can't imagine how much your words count to me - thank you so much!🙏🙏
THANK YOU for putting this out there! As a creative person, this video spoke more words to me than any video ever has. I can feel the emotions through my screen. Simply amazing work! Very inspirational 🙏
Wow, thank you! 🙏
I just love your video bro. So high quality and feeling comfortable.
Happy to hear that!🙏🙏
bro i was shocked when i see the views only 23k. I was expecting 1 million based on your video quality lol
It would have been too easy at my second video, getting 1MM views!!! I like much more this way... so it is pushing me do do even better at the next one!! Challenge accepted!💪💪💪
This was so satisfying to watch. The hidden battery charging station in the drawer was genius!
Glad you liked it!! 💪
so chilling to watch. I just impressed how you design small room. So Nice.
I am glad you enjoyed it! thank you for the support!! 💪
Excellent! You've gained a subscriber, Sir.
Welcome on board!!🙏
So cool to see a creator in his early stage with so muuuuch quality ! Keep going with the upload button, I'm sure you'll make it. I'll definitely inspire myself for my home office too 👌 Ciao bello!
It's so fun the whole creating cycle, I am really enjoying it!😇
It looks amazing. One small hint, you could paint the base board the same color as the wall it makes a huge difference :)
You know what, you have absolutely right!! Thank you for the heads up!💪💪
ignoring the fact that the transition before after are insane the quality of the editing is enormous the music and the colorimetry are just perfect.
Super happy to hear that!!!🙏🙏
wow! this is a great video. everything is on point and the use of sketch up model really help. now i really need to learn how to do that. everything has it's place, the precision and the care. thank you for making this video! please make more!
Great to hear!🙏🙏 I am already working at the next video, as you can imagine, it's a very time consuming process, but what you have seen so far is just the beginning!!
Wooooow! This is a desk office make over video to remember! It really is a masterpiece (espacialy the 6:09 part 🤣)! But seriously, you took the Desk setup world to another level sir! Well done!!! 🤝
Glad you liked it! 6:09 is the moment when the body took over my mind! 98°F Room temperature 'cause I didn't want the A/C noise to screw up the original sounds!🫣
"Intine mai mera pura ghar chala jauenga....." (Translate: from this budget I can buy whole new house) 😂😂😂
Really, they sell houses for $2,500?? 🤯 All the furniture are from IKEA, so very low end price, nothing custom made!
Multiply with 10. Then may be yes somewhere outskirts.
In my country 2,500 dollars is 2,500,000
@@sh1ft3r_dcsame 😂 fairs makes sense

I am revisiting this video and boy, I love your edit style and the funny moments you snuck in there ! beautiful
You can't imagine how a comments like yours are making my day! Thank you so much for the nice words!🙏
I have two huge screens like you, and you just helped me realize that i need the bottom one on waaay more of an angle, like your setup. Thanks!
Glad I've been useful somehow!💪💪
I used to have so much stuff like this. Ended up chucking almost all of it and kept the essentials. So much better.
I am a huge fan of minimalism and I could't agree more with your statement. the video doesn't show but I tree away 50% of the stuff!💪💪
What an amazing place to create. Capturing attention with no word said, perfect.
Very glad you enjoyed it!🙏🙏
That was an amazing video to watch. Mind blowing!!!🤯
Thank you so much!!🙏🙏 I noticed your vector image profile... well... you don't wanna miss the next video coming out shortly!🤐
Loved the design, filming, products, etc.. Great job Lauro!
Thank you so much!! 🙏🙏 Very happy to hear you liked it!!!💪
Thank you so much for showing the “problem”, planning a solution. In many videos they simply throw out the old and bring in the new, but you showed how you got to the point of choosing this or that element in your room. Amazing result.
It's been a beautiful journey where I learnt really a lot of new things. Very happy to hear you enjoyed it...🙏 More makeovers coming soon!💪

I stumbled upon this video by chance, in my eagerness to look for a video that would inspire me to make a change in my bedroom (which doubles as a studio) and what I saw finally spurred me - and inspired me - to make this change! I especially love the colours chosen for the walls, very beautiful, which give light to the small space available, congratulations on the result!
