    Stand in the corners of your room and take a picture and then compare it to the magazine photo you want to emulate. A lot of the "differences" between the two rooms has to do with lighting, but also with clutter. How many times has a friend stopped by unexpectedly and you're standing at the door looking at them and thinking "Crap, why didn't I tidy up today?" You live with the clutter for so long you don't even see it anymore.

    • @rashelflores6712
      @rashelflores6712 7 หลายเดือนก่อน +48

      The other thing is that the magazine photo doesn’t have things needed for everyday living. Like a picture of a bathroom counter would have flowers and rolled towels, but where are the toothbrushes? The hand soap? I don’t think we should compare our living spaces to places that aren’t lived in.

      @@rashelflores6712 My trick is to buy hand soap, toothbrushes, toothpaste et cetera in colours that match the room decoration (in my case blue and green). You will still have "clutter" out on the counter, but it looks less messy if everything (or as much as possible) fits within the same colour scheme.

    I just bought a house and have been watching SO many different creators and videos about interior design. Although I have been enjoying them, you are my only sub and here are the reasons why:
    1. You are realistic with your advice. Not everyone can afford expensive furniture and you don’t talk down on going a cheaper route.
    2. You don’t talk down on specific styles or designs.
    3. You give reasons for things you aren’t super fond of rather than simply saying “I just don’t like it so don’t do it”
    4. You are very mindful of new and beginner designers
    5. You are helpful and don’t claim to know more than others
    Thank you so much ❤

      You don’t need to buy expensive reed diffusers. The best ingredients for reed diffusers are vodka (or other strong alcohol with no/little scent) and one natural oil/essence of your choice eg pure vanilla oil. The alcohol is the means to make the oil/essence airborne and not overpowering. I strongly suggest keep the oil/essence simple by using an unadulterated form ie not a mix.

    Lighting and paint colors go hand in hand. Make sure the color temperature of your light bulb enhances your wall color. Have a cooler bulb going with your pale blue walls. A warmer bulb with your yellow toned walls. Also be mindful of your window covering if light filters though and hits your walls. White sheers are fine but if you have a color, that color will cast on to your wall color and can change it dramatically.

    I really appreciate your advice to prioritize ambiance over aesthetic. So much of the design world, and minimalist influencer's homes lack warmth and cleanliness combined with coziness. So many designs feel austere and cold. The room you showed along with that tip was a gorgeous example of an inviting space.
    My parents 1960s and 70s home had an eclectic style, that had a combination of naturals and bright pops of every color. Yellows, orange, red, blue, green in the living room, in mostly small pops. Sofas eith woven fabics with multicolored theeads. Pieces or books with colorful jackets could be added without concern for the color scheme, but because the book's content was valuable, or the item was valued or beautiful, not because of its color! Yet it all worked, without feeling visually cluttered.
    I'm going to search to see if you have a video on color.
    I don't want to feel limited by choosing only a few colors in a color scheme. Your thought on this ecoectic color approach, please?
    Thank you for the video.

    • @reynardlowell
      @reynardlowell  7 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      The Muji one is a reed diffuser, so not meant to be used with stone diffusers like the Vitruvi, you'll need essential oils for that.
