Really love that you show pictures of not only what looks great and cohesive, but pictures that are showing examples of things that don’t look put together correctly. So many videos I’ve seen only show what is correct and stylish. Thank you for such a well done video. New subscriber!
I tried your idea and rearranged my room. Now I have to patch picture hanging holes, rehang pictures and get a bigger rug. I’m so close to perfection. And I had so much fun! But my husband is cursing you. Hahaha. I am not following your tips to be stylish but because the room just is so much I believe the room is now much more comfortable and inviting. I am following your tips. It makes the space more comfortable and it took me one evening to do it. I think we will get a bigger rug because once I see your tips everything is so obvious. It makes really great sense and your pictures are also really awesome. I feel like I see everyone’s space now differently. Thanks a ton!
I'm a visual merchandiser for a small local store. I really love your videos! I use the tips from them to help me with designing displays. Recently I've been getting compliments from customers even! Thanks for sharing! Great insights!
The 57 inches mid point for art work was really important for me to learn. I never knew this tid-bit of information & cant wait to go in & measure how far off my art is off or on que! Thanks for all the fantastic advice. Can’t wait to see more from you...

I love being in Tennessee. I love bringing in the mountains and just the feel of being outdoors in TN. My house is all about being outdoors. I got these curtains for the living room with mountains on them and a lake that’s my color pallet. It’s sprinkled though out the house.
I absolutely love learning tricks and tips about decorating! It's my favorite thing. The moment you said 57 inches to the middle of the picture I got up and went to measure!! Yay! I was pleasantly surprised!! Thanks for sharing!
I’d LOVE a video on how to incorporate old heirlooms, antiques, or meaningful items that might not look the right style, into a home!! My struggle is I have things that I love but I struggle finding place for them with the look I’m going for, but I see other people incorporate old and new and different styles effortlessly. I have a lot of things that I feel make a house feel childish but I know other people do great and showcasing these things really well (nerdy posters, nerdy figurines, old family clocks, old paintings). Also if you could please please recommend some books on home decor and making a house a home that would a great as I really trust your judgement 💕
i'm struggling with the exact same thing. i got some amazing quality stuff from my great grandma......that looks sooo dated if i just put it on display as is. i'm just trying to match their color, but it's.... hard
Such a good one-- I love mixing in the old with the new! Like a new, modern frame with matting for a poster, or putting my old clock or lantern on my mantle next to some new items. Love this topic 👏 ❤
Kristen, thank you so much for this video! After so many years of mismatching (pretty much everything), you just showed me what adjustments I need to make. I look forward to watching your other videos!
I do the placement of 3 decor items and it is like Magic for spaces as well as much of the other tips you gave. Was just reaffirming that these tips make a difference. Over the years shopping high end furniture stores has helped to realize color And placement are key and going for a cohesive look. Finally to younger women take charge of your home environment don’t be bullied by a guy but do Keep comfort in mind.✨✨
Thanks so very much for the pics that help us visualize what you're explaining! Fantastic, doable tips. I don't know if you realize, but there are ads every minute or 2 minutes.
I watch these kinds of videos all the time and hardly ever comment on them, but this house is astonishingly particularly love the natural materials, with all their textures and gave my apartment in hands of a designer from Snugverse, it's the best choice I ever made.
My husband and I are building our first home, so I found this video extremely helpful! My biggest challenge is making everything cohesive. I found the wall decor rule to be the most helpful because in the past places we have rented, we had paintings too high up or not high enough :/ the decorating in groups of 3 is my favorite tip & I’ll definitely be applying that to the new home 🤍 thank you for sharing!
Much fun with your new home! Watch that part about groups of 3 again and see, that it is not everywhere, for then it looks very superficial. See that picture with the book shelves? Some are in groups of 3, but there are also 2 balanced ones (another tip) and even 1 bigger item down below. Thus it stays inviting for the eyes to watch and not weirdly staged.
I don't know anybody but you who is so enthousiastic and motivated about their work/hobby . I like that about you and your videos. Keep on going❤️🇳🇱 (greetings from The Netherlands)
Love the casual vibe of these videos and inserting lots of examples as you talk :) . We’ll be moving soon so excited to follow through these tips and binge more of your videos!
I feel like my mind just expanded! I have always been frustrated with my lack decorating skills, despite my high level of interest. I am looking around at my home now and it’s like you highlighted exactly what needs to be changed! I can do this. TY!!!!
Amazing!!!! This was the only video I needed to watch rather than watching style ideas for hours and still feeling lost and overwhelmed with decorating. Thank you!!!! 🥰🥰🥰❤❤❤
I love Kirstens tips for decorating our homes she allows your mind to connect to colour , texture, organisational skills which you new you had with a little driving lesson.x
Wow! I watch a lot of interior design videos and that was super informative and quick! You speak very fast yet clear. Seriously, you managed to talk about a lot of important things in 11 minutes + examples. Quality video.
Thank you for a video that provides information and tools to use, not one that left me feeling like I've been scolded. I will be on my own for the first time in 30 years and want to discover my style but do it with style. I can't understand houses designed and decorated by committee. I think I have found my guide.
Great tips! I’ve always followed the tip about placing art at eye level. I love all the pictures you put in your videos, it really helps me see exactly what you’re talking about.
I HAVE NO IDEA HOW I WENT SO LONG WITHOUT YOU IN MY LIFE #NEWSUBBIE I'M LITERALLY BINGE WATCHING YOUR CHANNEL RIGHT NOW! WHAT A PLEASURE 🥰 SO MANY GEMS! 💎
I totally dislike the chopped pillows!🤪 I like fluffy soft pillows instead. I like COLOR, too..both of which aren’t ‘popular’ right now..guess I am a rogue decorator, heehee!
Hey there Kristen. Bless from NJ I just bought a house. Then I started to look for home makeover videos and interior design-related resources. Then I found you!! I really like your content and your beautiful smile! I've always been interested in interior design but I chose graphic design instead throughout my school year and career. Your videos help me understand how to decorate a home much better. Thank you for sharing your insight and videos! 💛💛💛🙋♀🙋♀🙋♀
Thanks for the tips. I'm gonna have to measure all my pictures now to 57"! And you've inspired me to keep the same color palette throughout the house. Keep on with your talent. You're inspiring and informative.
I’m Using one color palette throughout the open areas and little different for bedroom and now that you are recommending it, I’m more confident about what i did 🤗
My favorite thing about the groups of 3 was the use of the word "groups". I have heard this a long time but in my head it was previously "items". Groups makes a big difference.
Great tips! To add on, I've found that adding a circular mirror above any small piece of furniture (nightstand, dresser, entryway table, short bookshelf) helps "finish" the space!
Omg i re-did my room closet with high-lites of Black! Did the floor, window & door frames. Llloooovvvveee it!! I never thought i wud fall in love with black paint but it makes the space so magical! So magical, i high-lited my banister & working on painting some more door frames. It really lets the other colors stand out! 💖
I like all of the decor info. My livingroom, dining room and kitchen have the same color palate as well as my bedroom. The guest room has a different color palate. So I guess I am doing something right.
One principle I think is really important (that dovetails with Scale) is Visual Weight. Making sure that the furniture and decor you use have appropriate visual weight REALLY helps! Visual weight is a product of factors such as size and color (and even pattern). For instance, bold colors are interpreted by the brain as visually heavier. Knowing this will help you maintain balance among your furniture and objects. A lazy boy is going to look heavier than a traditional chaise. Generally, it’s a good practice to stick to one area of the spectrum (e.g. it’s not recommended to decorate with both a delicately framed chaise and a chunky lazy boy in the same space). : )
I’m glad I found this video. I didn’t know how high to hang a picture. The tip on groups three was great and how to balance a room. The color balance was excellent too. Thank you so much 😘
Best overall, concise advice seen in months. I thought l knew quite a lot of this but your clear uncluttered theory and examples or what to do and what not to do, was fantastic. I can now see what l need to do...l have areas that work but need to be cohesive with all my areas and rooms. Respect to you. Thank you. 😘
Perfect timing for these tips. I’m about to finally decorate my dining room walls with some pictures so the 57” eye level tip is one I’ll def try. Thx!!
This was a really good video. It gave specifics: karate chop pillows and then pull up the ends; 57" picture height, etc. The specifics are what set this video apart from every other interior design video.
Oh my God these tips came in at a great time I want to do changes in most rooms in my house mostly the living room since it's the first space you see it's small and I have dark walls and a way to big bark couch that is similar to the walls it was my fiances choice I need to make some so changes so bad I've hated that couch right when he picked it out
I’m always sad when I see cute decorated coffee tables because my huge dog would take that all down with one tail swipe lol 😪 thank you for all your tips!
You don't want a coffee table decorated, trust me, you'd have to remove the decoration to make room for whatever plate or cup you want to place on the table and in time you would avoid using that coffee table at all.
Thank you for this! How do you recommend styling a wall over a couch with a cathedral ceiling? The 57” guideline doesn’t quite fit, although the bottom row of my arrangement is close to 57”. I took my arrangement much higher because of my ceiling.
Apryl Burtchin I was wondering the same...it’s really hard to try to make things look good with tall ceilings and is not very common to find decorative ideas that help
do not really have an idea of decorating but i do love to become an interior designer..just watching this gave me the sense of what is like to be one.it was really helpful,thanks alot
@@alohaleslie9407 I hope so! It looks so dated and just so weird. Pillows are supposed to look soft and fluffy and chopping them makes them look sharp and dense.
@@imjustdoingmybest6236 When pillows are chopped, it doesn't invite me to sink in and sigh. Awwww, how comfy. Nope, it makes me think that the person who chopped wants everything to look perfect. DO NOT TOUCH. How inviting is that???
I think so, and you may need to find larger pieces of artwork that can fill more of the space. I think back to a part of the video that mentioned finding balance in the room. The pieces of art work will need to balance the walls to the rest of the room. I hope I made sense.
This is just one person‘s opinion but I do NOT like the “karate-chop” look on pillows. I’ve raised my children and have grandchildren, and it looks like they were either playing on my bed or messing around on my couch (when I see a karate-chop pillow), and I wanna walk over and fluff it back up.🤷🏻♀️🙀 ••• I don’t 100% dislike it but I just think it looks unkept and Messy!! But other than that; I love your ideas and I have learned a lot from them so thank you for all the fresh ideas...👻👻 Take care, stay healthy and be well 🧡🎃🤍👻🧡
Although I do think that maybe I think this way because I'm bad at decorating and designing for a space as a whole. Like I can bang out a shelf or a desk or a wall and make it look good but for an entire room to look conducive or house to look cohesive is really overwhelming so I think I just like to keep it to a minimalist look and have everything have a purpose so it makes the most sense for my brain
Im moving really soon and I’m so excited to add more decor to our home. I struggle with layering things and making it look cohesive. Thanks for the tips!
I just discovered you 👌🏻 I’m from Switzerland and the style of our homes are different but your tips are precious. I will try immediately to apply these and make my home more cohesive and design even with small budget. Thanks a lot 😍
I already use many of these ideas, but it was nice to hear my design process be confirmed by a designer. I especially like to use the groups of three! Thanks!
Thank you so much for your easy decorating tips. Now things make much more sense and I realize what I have been doing wrong, or not knowing what to do about everything you talked about.
Happy Sunday💗! I hope you enjoy watching, and learn some new tips for decorating your space!! Let me know below which designer tip is your favourite!💁🏼♀️
I am so sad that you and Christian haven't met each other from 9 months😢

Thanks Kristen! This video was very helpful! I really enjoy watching your videos; your voice is very soothing and inviting 💖
This is such an amazing video! I wish I had found it when I was teaching art. You explain most of the principles of design in such a practical way!
Thank u...the wall art height is so needed. I am in a lot of houses and people don't think about this.

The basics, but really well explained and with good and bad examples. I learned a lot! Thanks!
Can you do a video on decorating an open floor plan. Kitchen, straight to dining , straight to living room. I’m lost! It’s a big box.
Yessss great idea! I need that video!
Same here ❣️
I’ll wait for the video
This was so absolutely practical. One of the first of these I really liked.
You literally answered every design question I had in this one video!! Thank you so much, you have amazing talent❤️ please keep these videos coming 👍🏾

@@imjustdoingmybest6236 When pillows are chopped, it doesn't invite me to sink in and sigh. Awwww, how comfy. Nope, it makes me think that the person who chopped wants everything to look perfect. DO NOT TOUCH. How inviting is that???
@@alohaleslie9407 yes exactly!
No, even before she mentioned it, I was wondering why the pillows looked weird. Just my personal preference.
Thank you for such great information! I struggle with decorating. This is the first video that seems doable and not overwhelming.
We have very tall walls in our new home, 12’. Does the 57” rule still apply?
I think so, and you may need to find larger pieces of artwork that can fill more of the space. I think back to a part of the video that mentioned finding balance in the room. The pieces of art work will need to balance the walls to the rest of the room. I hope I made sense.
Yes because as she said, that's the eye level.
SUPER helpful! Especially tips about the pillows and rule of 3. Thank you!!❤
This is just one person‘s opinion but I do NOT like the “karate-chop” look on pillows. I’ve raised my children and have grandchildren, and it looks like they were either playing on my bed or messing around on my couch (when I see a karate-chop pillow), and I wanna walk over and fluff it back up.🤷🏻♀️🙀
•••
I don’t 100% dislike it but I just think it looks unkept and Messy!! But other than that; I love your ideas and I have learned a lot from them so thank you for all the fresh ideas...👻👻 Take care, stay healthy and be well 🧡🎃🤍👻🧡
I fluff then chop.
I don't like it either. Looks like little cats.
I agree
I just think it doesn't look good at all
Agree
Everything you said about pillows is new to me and so very helpful and can't wait to try it
Also didn't know I should style in groups of 3! I'm so lost when it comes to decorating so I loved this video, so so helpful!!! Thank you
3:38 57" is way too low for most people. We all aren't 5'2". 62" - 65" is more appropriate in my opinion
Girl, these are key gems! I learned so much in video, thank you!
All of these tips are excellent advice!
Great tips! I especially enjoyed the advice on the height to hang gallery of art.
It is so difficult for me to decorate because I don't like having stuff just because. Everything has to have a purpose...
Same here
Same!!! Like why have books and beads and a vase with puffy wheat on a shelf when the shelf doesn't even serve a purpose in the first place....
My house is empty with only necessary furniture, looking at just the space brings me joy lol
Although I do think that maybe I think this way because I'm bad at decorating and designing for a space as a whole. Like I can bang out a shelf or a desk or a wall and make it look good but for an entire room to look conducive or house to look cohesive is really overwhelming so I think I just like to keep it to a minimalist look and have everything have a purpose so it makes the most sense for my brain
@@rochelledickson2536 Same, after watching tons of decoration videos, I decided to keep the minimalist look. Now I watch that kind of videos haha
Oh my goodness I think this was the best decorating advice I have ever heard all in one place. Thank you thank you so much!!
"Karate chop your pillow" yes, that's my energy 😂
A beautiful person with beautiful tips. Thank you these were most helpful.
Is the Karate chop not over and done with ? Truly don’t know any more ?
Yep. A big no no these days. I guess it’s a debatable habit or a matter of taste.
Im moving really soon and I’m so excited to add more decor to our home. I struggle with layering things and making it look cohesive. Thanks for the tips!
I just discovered you 👌🏻 I’m from Switzerland and the style of our homes are different but your tips are precious. I will try immediately to apply these and make my home more cohesive and design even with small budget. Thanks a lot 😍
I already use many of these ideas, but it was nice to hear my design process be confirmed by a designer. I especially like to use the groups of three! Thanks!
I cringe so hard when I see karate chopped pillows
Thank you so much for your easy decorating tips. Now things make much more sense and I realize what I have been doing wrong, or not knowing what to do about everything you talked about.
