The expensive look,
for less.
I’m Johannes. I style a real, rented apartment in Shanghai to feel like a boutique hotel, then show you exactly how it’s done, with prices attached.
The Edit
The pieces I actually live with, with the price sitting next to each one.
- Curtains
- Throw pillows
- Everything from the videos
Consulting
Send me the room that bugs you and get a plan for it, on your budget.
- A one-hour call
- Layout, lighting, palette
- A priced shop list
About
Johannes
I make homes feel good to live in: stylish, comfortable and personal, without needing a luxury budget.
Everything you see here happens inside a rented Shanghai apartment, which means every trick survives a landlord, a deposit and a curious cat. Over 11,000 people watch along on YouTube, where I redo my rooms on real budgets and publish the numbers.
