small RENTER-FRIENDLY bedroom makeover (no painting!)

Thank you to Leesa for sponsoring this video!

Welcome back to my series, Rach’s Rental! I’m in the process of turning my 500-square-foot rental loft into a home that feels truly mine. This week, we’re working on the bedroom—a super important space. I’m going for a cozy, relaxing vibe with plenty of color and personality!

Can't believe how perfectly the second half of the bed platform fit in your living room

[Madi_Miso]

Agreed the corner bed was the way to go. The shelves around the bed were cool in theory but ate up so much space!

[itscarolinemary]

That shelf being utilized as a media console 🔥🔥 yess looks so good

[SimplySinfulever]

I would have made a small step ladder for that extra space in the bed frame that's not covered by the shelving. I think it would have worked since the bed is so tall anyways. The shelving in the living room looks custom made for that space.

love the changes! alternative idea for the lamp, you could hang it next to your picture in the bedroom so it could swivel above your bed when you're awake if you want but be over your desk while you sleep!

[olliejilliangil]

I like how you changed your mind with the bed. Permission to try something and then try something else. Evolving spaces. Not spending a lot of money. Saving room to add new finds along the way. (Side note- the couch is cool and I enjoyed seeing it for however long it stays)

[jay-rene]

This is an unexpected direction for Rachel and I'm REALLY into it!! I love that the moodboard naturally lends itself to eclecticism and like a smarty arty

[yazminmercado]

Loooove the switch to the corner for the bed, the extra space makes it worth it

[madimonti]

the way that bed turned out with splitting the shelves and using half of it in the living room was so satisfying that really couldn't have worked out more perfectly and I feel like having one in the bedroom and one out there it'll just help the space feel more cohesive and the bed does look so cute in the corner I think this was a great revamp of that space. The art print looks so good too! 10/10 makeover

[funeraria.funeraria]

Not the choices i would have made but I LOVE how unique and personal it feels. Can't wait for the next episode!

[MriduShree]

I'll have to say this that a Rachel video is never complete without an amazing light diy....☺❤

[Noon-jtgi]

I just started living alone again, in the same house. I am a corner bed sleeper again!
There’s room for floor yoga now! There’s places to put all the cushions! I can read and be cosy and never leave. And it just feels safer

[Kelseyfantasi]

You should make a video where you catify your flat, like putting up shelves so they can get up on the half wall. You have so much vertical space that they can enjoy with a little help from you.

3 points.

You nailed the museum look.
You made a cold industrial space look so cozy.
The shot of you hanging the sheers was so beautiful.

[cindymichaud]

It gets cold in Toronto, so I would prepare a piece of foam insulation to slide between the wall and the bed. Some quilt curtains may also be a great help. Brick and glass are efficient cold conductors. ❄

She says “it will stain your skin it will stain your clothes” while wearing white 😂

[catarinamateus]

Girl, I don’t know about your cats by that tiny rug in the bedroom would be all over the place in my house!! Great video loved the bed frame turned into the tv stand ❤

[michellev]

I’d love a video of each of you just decorating your spaces for fall! Pulling out your yearly decorations and just have a relaxing video where each of you decorate your spaces! Could work for Christmas too!

The way your shirt and shorts were matching the mirror so well when you were moving it to the counter was priceless!!

[judymcinnis]

Just two words come to mind to describe your room, Cozy and cute.🌺
