I have only seen a couple of designers describe the beads for what they really are.... I mean, I am not kink shaming, but that is what i see when I look at those beads. It's funny how people are more offended by the little pickle on a figurine than sad beige sex toys on display 😂😂😂😂
I have a wooden garland. I resisted for a long time, but then I realised my life would not be complete without one, and now I love it. It hangs over the side of the bookcase and covers up a nasty flaw in the wood. I also have a lot of fake plants, not least because I am so efficient at killing the real ones. Generally I have a lot of poor-taste decor in my home, but I like it. It’s cosy and gives a nice vibe.
Not sure why I watch these videos. We live in a quiant, but dated folk Victorian (actual) farmhouse where we still farm. Our decor items are almost all heirlooms or flea market finds, or memorabilia of some sort, like deer antlers from beloved hunts and throws our grandmothers crocheted. We have gradually updated the house whenever we could afford to add something needed, but there is still so much to do. That said, it is a very eclectic mix of function, nostalgia & a tight budget that is not perfect, but is home. Even still I enjoy your suggestions and simply listening to you speak. So thank you. 😊 You have such refined taste and a kind demeanor.
Homes like yours are probably the inspiration for many of these tips! Authenticity, charm, function - the exact opposite of trendy, soulless decor that I see so many people buy just to fill up blank spaces.
😄it sounds cosy, nostalgic and lovely🤗🌾🐓🐣🐥🧸💐☕️🛋️🫖🖼️after hard work it is nice to relax and enjoy whatever we have🌻🤗to live in peace and harmony☕️🫖🛋️🧸🖼️
That doesn’t mean you don’t live in a cooled styled home. He has some great design suggestions and I really enjoyed the clip so much I’m now a follower. But regardless, every style is cool based on a lifestyle.My home is transitional style but I love all styles. Your home sounds like the home I grew up in styled around love, joy and family. Can’t get much better than that! ❤
Another very helpful video! As an alternative to fresh plants, I'd like to suggest sprigs of eucalyptus in a vase: The leaves of some varietals add texture to the space, and they also smell very good; plus, they look the same dried as they did on the tree. So, it ticks off three boxes (plants, aroma, texture)!
I received a set of nice plates as a gift, and they really make having a meal so much nicer. It’s not something I thought would make a difference before having the experience.
I just stumbled on your channel and I’m so glad I did, I have lots of watching to do. I very much align with your design suggestions. Thanks for the great ideas and advice. 🥂
Air purifiers are key to removing smells. I have a small air purifier in my walk-in closet and, although all my clothes are clean, the closet can get stale without the air purifier. I bought a Honeywell and they run about $100. It has two filters, the main one lasts 6 months and second, a thin charcoal filter, I change once a month but sometimes just vacuum it to get another month's use.
Agree completely, have three in my home. When a beam of sunlight comes through the window there no dust floating in it. The very 1st thing visitors do when they walk thru the door is breath in a very deep breath taking in what they feel (& have said) is a breath of fresh air. It makes a big difference & is highly recommended.
Can these be tucked into a corner, behind furniture, etc, or do they need to be out in the open to work? I've always liked the idea of getting one but my husband isn't keen on it.
@@Jodi9810 They need to be able to pull in air from the front of the unit and push it out on the top but you don't have to put it in the center of a room. Against a wall or in a corner is fine. Mine is only 18 inches tall and it is black, you can get them in white too and they have three settings for fan speed which allows you to control the sound. I turn mine up when I'm not in the room then on low when I am there. After you get used to it you don't hear it at all.
the level of sassiness is so much higher in this video than others of yours I've seen. thought it might have been a fluke at first, but the jokes kept coming. interesting approach to humor and interesting that you chose to include humor at all in decor videos
Finally!! Anti garland beads and chain links on books and trays that are meaningless. I'd add the faux H throw blanket, Tom Ford books that 99% of TH-cam interior decorators and designers have in every inspo and project. I do need to lift my standards on cushion inserts 😅
Douche Bank, mini eggplant emoji memorabilia and poorly made anal beads- this is Reynard after dark!!! (also quietly deletes ladders and wooden beads from my home shop list)
I have one set of wooden beads that I actually quite like, so I won't be deleting them, ESPECIALLY now after Reynard's cheeky comment. Now I will think of him every time I see them.
Siiirrrrrr 😂 not an*l beads 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 they reminded me of rosaries or mala beads 📿 I think that’s why they were on books and tables: like you placed them down after meditating or praying 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Our circa 1950s ranch is what I'd call animal friendly casual eclectic. We have cool carefully collected art pieces and expensive but old furniture. No extra pieces or knick knacks. All our good stuff was collected before we adapted our kitties. But so much of the stuff said to make a house look expensive would be destroyed within a day by our furry family members so high end has to give way to pet safe 😅
LOVED your sarcasm in this video!..and all points were so true... your string of beads comment was so funny 😂. Honestly, I also find them odd, even though I did end up making a small one from wooden beads and natural clay beads (I made) to hang off a basket on my first floor landing. I spray the beads with natural lavender oil or perfume as a room scent because I don't want a candle etc up there. So the little string of beads does "serve a purpose" and is not just decor.
Fresh air is really important to me, real smells from flowers or fruit or lemons. I can’t deal with fake smells, but do have my floors mopped with refined blue mallee eucalyptus from north Victoria.
Great video. I actually never heard about switching juice bottles into other containers but you know, I can see that being incredibly useful since the juice bottles are oddly shaped and are a pain to store in the refrigerator. Uniform shaped items are easier to organize.
Not that I claimed to be an expert of any sort, but I found that the most fundamental decor item in a house is to not have it freaking dirty. Clean your house.! I think that a clean house that’s been poorly decorated is much better looking than a well-designed and decorated house that’s filthy .
I could see those acrylic containers have use, they have a good shape and size to use in the fridge (unlike a lot of the jugs I've seen around). If you drink your water infused with some fruits, mint, cucumber, whatever else, might be nice to have a jug of that hanging around in the fridge, same if you make your lemonade from syrup (so you don't have to make it every time you grab a glass and it's nice and cool) or just want your tap water chilled for drinking.
For me, curtains add some softness to a room that is essential. I particularly like three layers - sheer curtains for ethereal softness & privacy during the day, heavy curtains for blocking out light in bedrooms and climate control, and behind them both roller blinds for an additional layer of climate control at night. I’ve probably saved thousands of dollars in my lifetime by having this system. PS I’ve always hated venetian blinds because of the amount of cleaning involved, and although plantation shutters have a relaxed effect, they cut out SO much light if you don’t have a very bright, sunny room (ie they are great for homes on the equator, what they were originally designed for, but very few other places!)
Love your channel and often take your advice, so please don't be offended if I express my dislike for throw blankets and decorative pillows. I don't like any object in a home that only looks good if it isn't being used. As long as you don't actually sit on the sofa, these things look amazing! But when you sit down, they get bunched up, squashed, and sometimes even fall on the floor. Throw blankets and decorative pillows are for people who just want to look at their living room, but not actually sit on anything (I feel the same way about fringe on carpets...great as long as you don't walk on your floors). Great textiles I love! I have a wonderful Persian carpet (without fringe) and a beautiful Ikat from Indonesia on my wall. They ALWAYS look great, even when the room is in use.
I've recently stumbled upon your videos and have enjoyed them quite a lot. I have been looking to high-effort redo a room in my place. I decided that the one that I would like to do the most is my bedroom. I am curious if you have opinions or recommendations on the use of platform or very low-profile/short beds/bedframes - let's say vertical heights less than 20" tall - mattress and frame. I find that I sleep best on firm bedding and prefer sleeping closer to the ground. My current bed/bedframe has a combined height of 15.5" and I would like to transition to a combined height of 9.5" in the future. As such, I am struggling to find many way to incorporate this into an overall room plan, especially since my bedroom architecture is very plain.
FWIW your preferred sleeping situation made me think immediately of a minimalist Japanese “Zen” style bedroom. IKEA’s Mandal bed frame with storage drawers could be an option, or even their Tarva bed frame with legs cut down to floor level would make it closer to the ground (making sure dust can’t be trapped underneath that you can’t get your vacuum to). Tarva is also very budget conscious although if you’re not handy yourself, you might need to get a carpenter to cut down the legs to be sure they’re even - this shouldn’t cost much though.
Hi Reynold, love watching your videos they are so informative and am trying incorporating your ideas . Can you do a video on Mirrors , size , their placement and other technical details . What shape mirror again what wall and furniture . I want to put a big size mirrors that’s on the wall next to dinning table also the wall next to it is my aisle wall . A bit behind the dinning wall and that has an arch shape wooden decor . So anyone sitting in the living room can see both walls . Do I have to match my wall mirror with the arch shape or do I match with the rectangle dinning table ? Please please do the detailed video
im not sure why people who would pour store bought juice into new containers. but i love those containers because i love making large batches of tea or lemonade to drink throughout the week. Their super nice when used like that. and are enclosed unlike a traditional pitcher.
Thanks for the laugh at the beads remark. I will always think of you as I enter my kitchen I replaced my door to the scullery with a blue sea glass beads curtain graduating bigger as it goes down and never thought of it until now. With regards to the acrylic cartons I have to agree for another reason and it's not about refiling it, Im from South Africa and over here we can purchase milk, juice and Even spring water in sachets which made buy one for milk the problem is after a couple of uses no matter what sterilization tecnic you use the smell doesn't go away or it damage the bottle so I have returned to my glass jug I had even thou it take up slightly more space in the fridge. I'm also heavy against faux marble or even wood (the one used for cabinets and wardrobes) and completely hate wood- look laminate flooring rather used reclaimed wood it looks so much better.
I’m back from a night out. Had a couple of drinks, and continued watching this video when I got home. I saw this and I’m like “what? Am I hallucinating?!” Your comment restored my sanity. Yep. He has a ….um….yeah…sculpture… 😂😂😂
I've never understood those wood garlands either as they are very sterile and look more like you're staging a room rather than living in it. However, I have been known to use favorite necklaces as garlands as I am having contact dermatitis more often than not and don't want to give up my jewelry in case this improves. I also will take certain beads that inspire memories of the string and place them in decorative bowls, one in particular I purchased from craftspeople visiting our church from a third world country. The small wood bowl with intricate hand carving on the outside was all I could afford at the time and is a lovely piece that fits my room themes. But that is different because these are meaningful objects that tell parts of my personal story.
What terrible person hangs books from a ladder! 😨😆 That's a new horror! I was just typing this comment and I got caught out by the beads comment!😂😂😂😂 I wasn't expecting you just to say what lots of people were already thinking so boldly!🤣
I love house plants but looking after them doesn't fit in with my lifestyle. My solution is to pick beautiful flowers & grasses from my garden and dry them. I now have several dried arrangements that I enjoy looking at & bring texture to my home.
I hang them upside down in a wardrobe for 6-8 weeks. The colours change but are still rich and varied, and there is no wilting. Grasses are generally good for drying and some flowers are more suited than others. I've had success this year drying eryngium (sea holly), it's retained its lovely blue colour and provides structure in an arrangement.
you've just ruined this for me... I'm so happy it's blond wood not stained brown. I had a double take about these wondering if you really said what you said :)
Have many fake plants, sometimes 2 or 3 together. The difference & the only reason it works, is for every fake plant I have 3 or 4 real plants in front of it. The fakes are just greenery in the background. & If at all possible the fake plant is the same plant as the real plant so the background foliage matches perfectly.
The reason I use a blanket ladder in our living room (a narrow custom sized "ladder" with tighter than typical spacing I made from antique turned spindles and reclaimed wood): CATS. We have a herd of cats, and they are all opportunistic soft spot nappers. No shawl or blanket is safe from a cat nap attack and resulting hair deposit when a tempting textile is draped over a chair or stored in a basket. So far, the cats haven't figured out how to sleep on the shawls and cold-toe throws draped over a ladder spindle ... climb, yes, sleep, no, so far. 😼
There is a difference between cheap and inexpensive. I never buy cheap because it looks cheap. While inexpensive items that are well crafted can be very beautiful and elevate a space.
🍆 and a 💍s, thanks for keeping it real. Actually this was one of my favourite videos of yours. Not for those reason 😂😂😂 I totally agree with the mugs, ladders and garlands and chains. I have one of those ikea grass looking plants in my bathroom that I’ve been meaning to put in the goodwill box.
I'll never be able to see those wood garlands without remembering your description as "misplaced an*l beads* 🤣
I have only seen a couple of designers describe the beads for what they really are.... I mean, I am not kink shaming, but that is what i see when I look at those beads. It's funny how people are more offended by the little pickle on a figurine than sad beige sex toys on display 😂😂😂😂
Super funny
Best line ever
I have to admit I burst out laughing at that,,,
This is the comment i was looking for. 😂 I couldn’t believe my ears. Love the humour 😂
A little cheeky today! I love it!
Haha I know, right? His humor came out in this one. I enjoyed it.
Same here. This video was brilliant.
Oh, he went beyond the cheeks! 😂

At least you don’t have a bowl of those beads. I’ll never be able to look at them without thinking that.
😄it sounds cosy, nostalgic and lovely🤗🌾🐓🐣🐥🧸💐☕️🛋️🫖🖼️after hard work it is nice to relax and enjoy whatever we have🌻🤗to live in peace and harmony☕️🫖🛋️🧸🖼️
Your home sounds so lovely❤❤❤ and I love the way you have written about it..

Did you just said A**l-Beads?? DUDE!!! 😂😂😂🤣👍
Your 'crude' object had me rolling too. 🤭
Your crude object and your bead comment. Both hysterical lol. :)
I love how practical your suggestions and your dissuading are/is. We need more of this kind of interior design content.
Totally agree with bead garlands, fake grass, and fake wood frames!!

I love kitchen herbs. They aren't just decorative, but smell nice and you can flavour food with them.
I am enjoying your videos - not just the great design ideas, but the format, editing, sound and length.
I agree the videos are paced very well on this channel
Almost bought the blue glass bowl from Ikea last week... your video confirms it's okay to have a few bowls around!
what i learn from this man is he likes it practical, convenient, yet cozy and stylish enough with nice information that includes graphic examples.
I received a set of nice plates as a gift, and they really make having a meal so much nicer. It’s not something I thought would make a difference before having the experience.
THE KING IS HERE TO MAKE HIS DECREES AND I AM HERE FOR IT 👏👏👏
10:36 - you made me laugh out loud for real. Yes, I've always found those beads to be cliched and useless
I totally agree with the beads 😮. I just don’t get it. I love your videos. Thank you 🙏 😊
The puppy in the basket! 😍💖
"Random bits and pieces" was used to describe the pupper 😂
I just stumbled on your channel and I’m so glad I did, I have lots of watching to do. I very much align with your design suggestions. Thanks for the great ideas and advice. 🥂

These were without exception great tips! Other designers have made the same comment about the wooden beads.
Great ideas! Thanks for sharing. Layering, contrast, texture - got it!
i wish i’d known about the cushion sizing earlier but this gives me an excuse to get another cushion!
I love your knowledge and cheekiness!
I didn’t expect those comments from you. So refreshing

This could possibly be my favorite video. Everrrrrrrrrr. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I do have beautiful plates cups etc. Wedgewood of 2 designs. And flowers, maybe some plants if enough light in my new home.
I love marble tables and columns...simply stunning. Throws look best of faux fur. I have never seen storage ladders 🪜 and it simply looks...cheap!!
I would love to see your filming setup and the lights that you use for the sit down shots!
the basket with the puppy is the best decoration❤

I have blinds too, but I have light curtains permanently on the sides just to soften the look of window.
Hi! May I ask you what its name of the black lamp in your backround? Its amazing! Thank you:)
Great tips and ideas 👍
I love your design ideas and views
Welp… I liked him before but I love him now! I love the calmness that was maintained while mentioning the crude object and .. um… beads lol
So, MANY COMMON SENSE suggestions!!👏🏾💯👍🏾
Picarón! Great video.

Pinterest has some gorgeous photos if rooms with very low bedding. I suggest assembling a gallery of inspiration photos there.
Love your videos! Where do you buy your faux plants? And which ones are your favourites?
Hi Reynold, love watching your videos they are so informative and am trying incorporating your ideas . Can you do a video on Mirrors , size , their placement and other technical details .

ohh! this one was different in tone. Always good avices, but today we can see a bit of your mood
Great little statue, appreciate the ‘edginess’ …
Mr. Lowell, Do you have any coffee table designs to recommend?
Hey Rey, where are your dining chairs and table from? Thanks!
Two more items for my next garage sale-a blanket ladder and those beads. 😯
Good advice ❤❤❤❤
Nah 8:01 is WILD!!!!! 😂😂😂😂
I’m back from a night out. Had a couple of drinks, and continued watching this video when I got home. I saw this and I’m like “what? Am I hallucinating?!”
Your comment restored my sanity. Yep. He has a ….um….yeah…sculpture… 😂😂😂
10:38 “They look like misplaced anal beads”. Oh lord. I must be drunk.
I returned to this video to read all the comment updates and I was not disappointed. 🤣

do you have a link to those throws on the couch you showed please ty
If you have a dedicated video on how to decorate different open space plz share the link of that particular video
I work at Douche Bank
Have you happened to find the misplaced anal beads I left there ?
Hahahaha
Spoiler alert: They're ALL douche banks.
@0:40 where can I get similar framed arts?
'Love your visuals. They are very calming and concisely relevant to what you are talking about. ' Hilarious quips caught me off guard.
I absolutely love that you found a “fake” monstera tree 😂
Of the items that elevate, which two would have the most positive impact?
10:10 my cats would attack those dumb garlands. Just call them cat toys 😂
Can you post the link for the black lamp in the background?
Temple & Webster had one very similar: Black Kennedy Metal Floor Lamp, but they are out of stock.
is nobody talking about the crude memorabilia object? Basically the only reason I am even looking at these comments, come on people!
What about the misplaced anal beads? Did he mean to say that?
Is it supposed to be a peenis? Maybe he is gay. So?

Great video, but I now *really* want a 'Douche Bank' mug!
What terrible person hangs books from a ladder! 😨😆 That's a new horror!
I was just typing this comment and I got caught out by the beads comment!😂😂😂😂 I wasn't expecting you just to say what lots of people were already thinking so boldly!🤣
Beads comment is just great. So is that little ceramic shocker.
haha I thought my coffee hadn't sank in, it was hilarious to witness your sense of humor - finally someone said it!
Wow he really went there with the wood garland comment!
8:03 ayyyyyyy YO
I love house plants but looking after them doesn't fit in with my lifestyle. My solution is to pick beautiful flowers & grasses from my garden and dry them. I now have several dried arrangements that I enjoy looking at & bring texture to my home.
Ohh that’s amazing! How do you properly dry them without it wilting or changing colour?
I hang them upside down in a wardrobe for 6-8 weeks. The colours change but are still rich and varied, and there is no wilting. Grasses are generally good for drying and some flowers are more suited than others. I've had success this year drying eryngium (sea holly), it's retained its lovely blue colour and provides structure in an arrangement.
What fabrics are pet friendly?
1050 denier nylon
I was not prepared either time 😂
you've just ruined this for me... I'm so happy it's blond wood not stained brown. I had a double take about these wondering if you really said what you said :)
Lol cracked me up when he said that!
😂
Laughing as i once tried the Clear plastic container for juice or milk, knowing how impractical it was. The top broke before i could use it! 😂
The monstera plant😂😂😂😂
You have the most calming, professional demeanor so when you started talking about phallic objects and anal beads I was completely SHOCKED 😂😂😂
The douche bank mug cracked me up. :)
Not the an*l beads 🤣🤣🤣😝
iv got a great idea......why not get some RENDERING SOFTWARE? it would be great!
ay yo what sweater is that
You got me at missed placed anal beads!!! Lmao 😂😂😂 💀💀 love your videos! ❤
Fake green plants are so depressive for me, but dry real ones are great! 😂 🌿🍂🌿🌾 💡ty!!
Have many fake plants, sometimes 2 or 3 together. The difference & the only reason it works, is for every fake plant I have 3 or 4 real plants in front of it. The fakes are just greenery in the background. & If at all possible the fake plant is the same plant as the real plant so the background foliage matches perfectly.
@mrtim5363 👍🏻yes!! 🌾🪴🌱🌿🌾🌿🌾 it works when they match the real ones . Thank u! 🐻✌🏻
10:38 wait.. what?? I had to rewind twice to make sure I heard correctly 🤣
The reason I use a blanket ladder in our living room (a narrow custom sized "ladder" with tighter than typical spacing I made from antique turned spindles and reclaimed wood): CATS. We have a herd of cats, and they are all opportunistic soft spot nappers. No shawl or blanket is safe from a cat nap attack and resulting hair deposit when a tempting textile is draped over a chair or stored in a basket. So far, the cats haven't figured out how to sleep on the shawls and cold-toe throws draped over a ladder spindle ... climb, yes, sleep, no, so far. 😼
There is a difference between cheap and inexpensive. I never buy cheap because it looks cheap. While inexpensive items that are well crafted can be very beautiful and elevate a space.
🍆 and a 💍s, thanks for keeping it real. Actually this was one of my favourite videos of yours. Not for those reason 😂😂😂
I totally agree with the mugs, ladders and garlands and chains. I have one of those ikea grass looking plants in my bathroom that I’ve been meaning to put in the goodwill box.
