Why it worked

The video succeeds by tapping into the popular 'maximalist' and 'dark academia' home decor trends, providing a satisfying, high-contrast before-and-after transformation that feels achievable for viewers.

Summary

The creator documents the second part of her bathroom makeover, which involves painting the walls burgundy, thrifting crystal decor, and adding ornate trim to her mirror. She finishes the space with a gallery wall and decorative lighting to achieve a moody, maximalist aesthetic.

Structure

1Painting the bathroom walls burgundy
2Thrifting crystal bowls for makeup storage
3Applying adhesive trim to the mirror
4Styling the space with a gallery wall and lantern
5Revealing the final moody bathroom transformation

Product placement

Amazon (a) — the creator explicitly states she ordered adhesive trim from Amazon to decorate her mirror. This is an active purchase and application of a specific product. Removing this mention would change the source of the materials used in the makeover. L'Oreal (a) — the creator places a L'Oreal Infallible powder compact into a crystal bowl. Dermalogica (a) — the creator places two Dermalogica bottles into a crystal bowl. Cetaphil (a) — the creator places a Cetaphil bottle into a crystal bowl. Goodwill (a) — the creator mentions going thrifting at Goodwill to find crystal pieces. This acts as the source of the decor items.

Transcript

I'm back with part two of painting my bathroom this beautiful burgundy color. Let me tell you guys, I don't know what I was hoping for, but this was better than what I was hoping for. I absolutely adore this color and I'm so happy with it. I took the boys and we went thrifting this weekend for some crystal pieces to put in the bathroom, just to hold some essentials. And I've been seeing these makeup bowls all over TikTok. Of course, I had to replicate that and I love how it turned out. It's so cute. I was not successful in finding a new mirror, so I ordered this foam adhesive trim on Amazon and placed it around my mirror to give it this ornate vibe. And you guys know I'm a slut for a gallery wall, so I had to put a little bit of something something in here. Don't get too crazy with it, just a little something something. I also wanted to be fancy and drink my mouthwash out of this decanter every morning. To get the full effect, here is the shower lantern. She is on, she is ready for the vibes. And just as a reminder, this is what we were working with as the before, and here is the after.
