#Howtochooselighting #lighting101 #designerlightingtips - แนวปฏิบัติและการใช้ชีวิต
I’m a lighting and automation designer in Australia. So many interior designers and architects forget about the importance of lighting and how it can change your whole home. This was a great video and thanks for highlighting what I think is one of the most important parts of what makes a house a home xx
Thank you for watching and providing your insight Megan! 🙏🏻☺️
Megan that's so true..
I'm remodeling my home and this was so important .
@megan873 im torn between warm lighting n cool white for my closet n kitchen led lighting. What do you think
Have you Facebook channel or TH-cam?

Que.chica hermosa 💖 😘 😍 💕 ♥ ❤ 💖
I recently came across your videos, and I absolutely love how you explain and show pictures of everything. You’re awesome!!
Thank you for watching Lupe 🙏🏻☺️
Love your videos Julie - they are organized, specific and detailed. We're in the process of building a house and amongs other things, I'm in the process of choosing all the lights & ceiling fans (we'll be in the south) so you're my go to for help! Thank you again!
Thank you for watching Laura! Definitely check out the follow up lighting video where I link over 100 fixtures all under $500! 👍🏻
What I love about you is your encouragement to not necessarily spend tons on money on brand name decor, but to incorporate things we love, we are passionate about, and are sentimental about or that tell our story. You are so empowering! I feel like if I follow those thoughts I can't go wrong! (unless I hang my curtains/drapery panels too low or match my headboard, nightstands, dresser, & armoir.) :) :) :)
Yes! Right on! I can’t afford to fully furnish my own home with everything high end, but that doesn’t mean the design has to suffer. Design with heart and wake up feeling inspired every day Katie 💗
Moving home in the next few weeks and your channel came up as a suggestion. I have binged watched not just for your knowledge and experience, but I love your energy. Such a beautiful soul. Much love to you and your lovely new family x
Thank you so much for watching and your kind support Ms Angel! 🙏🏻💗
Ms Angel well said!
This is one of the most helpful videos I’ve ever found on TH-cam. I just keep coming back to it! Thanks!
Ooh then you must be at the fun lighting stage of your design Autumn! Hope my tips have helped you 🙏🏻☺️✨
Wow that’s so kind of you to offer thank you JULIE
Perfect just what I needed, those proportions details is what I was looking for, very informative, no bs, thank you!
Thank you for watching! 👍☺️
I like how you explain the concept then give ideas and tips, and finally share where your favorite places to shop for these items. My problem is not knowing where and how to shop as interior designers do. Thank you very much!
A lot of designers shop trade only vendors (as I do a majority of the time)... but I wanted to create a channel where I shared my tips for the average homeowner who needs to shop retail and online. There’s so many amazing options on the market now!
j
Just got home from a lighting shop. Now I know what I want base from the guide you discussed. Learned a lot, Thnak you Julie 💖💖💖
Awesome Christine! Hope it helps your decision 🙌🏻
Hi Julie, I absolutely love your channel. It helps me to create that wow factor and falling in love with my home. I live all the way in Jamaica and we Caribbean folks love color but I am more a neutral clean and sophisticated style. Your channel helps me to find all the perfect pieces to complement each other. You are amazing I am hooked. All my friends now watch your channel. Nuff love from Jamaica 🤗😊
Thank you so much for watching and your support Cyron! I live for color, but finding myself toning it down nowadays too 💆🏼♀️☺️
Amazing video Julie. I learn so much from you.
Thank you for watching Peachy 🙏🏻☺️
A bounty of fabulous ideas... and the resources noted are invaluable!
Thank you for watching! 🙏🏻☺️
Your video really helped me gain lots of great ideas to light up my living room! I'm also inspired... I'll be installing a chandelier in my master bedroom! Thanks for sharing all your helpful tips!
Chandeliers in the bedroom are pure luxury! The last thing you see before you close your eyes will be something fabulous! 🤩
@@JulieKhuu Love that! 😍👍
Thanks again Julie. I watched this video for the 2nd time. Now I’m sourcing light fixtures for the whole house and really need to refresh my memory of all these information.
That’s awesome Chloe! Hope you find some great pieces- check out part 2 where I link over 100 of my favorite fixtures 👍🏻☺️
Hello, I can provide a lighting scheme
Really accurate tying specific type of lighting based on your style. I guess I'm traditional because I do like lights with lampshades and crystal. You are an excellent communicator. Thanks.
Thank you for watching Claudia! I love a traditional/ modern mix myself so I feel you on the shades 👍🏻☺️

Lots of great information
Thank you for watching Sabrina 🙏🏻☺️
Omg! Lighting is so important to every room. It makes look there best or worst. I love the Philips hue light bulbs. Working with people who don't want to install dimmers, I always suggest the Philips hue lights. They have amazing features so you don't walk into a dark home because they turn on when you approach your door or before sometimes. Perfect for movie watching, you can have them on a motion sensor so they are low and brighten when you enter a room. great for older people who need a little light. This video has me thinking about all the ways light affects you.
Yes! I love Philips hue bulbs for parties 🎉
Thank you! You are amazing.
Thank you for watching Claudine 🙏☺️
Great video!!! 👏🏽👏🏽 thanks
Thank you for watching 🙏🏻☺️
Thanks Julie!
Thank you for watching Kim! 🙏🏻☺️
Junglalow! That’s the name of the stay I like. Thanks Julie!
Yes! I love Justina Blakeney 😍🌿
Informative video. Would love to see tips on selecting light fixtures in open concept space.
Lots of requests for open concept designs, I’ll add this to my list Debbie! Thank you for the feedback 👍🏻
I've been watching your videos. So informative. From Quezon City, Philippines.
Thank you for watching Verge 🙏🏻☺️
The shadow is the greatest teacher for how to come to the light!
Follow the light! In design and photography 💡
Great advice.
Thank you for watching Tasha 🙏🏻☺️
Really great tips! I'm binge watching all of your videos 😆 can you please advise what type of flush mount lighting is good for coastal style?
Thank you for watching ☺️ Coastal goes great with either a matte black finish or nickel depending on your vibe
Thank YOU Julie for teaching us combining Feng Shui in this modern era. It's time to replace the dining room wall canvas picture, this wall is also facing the window across living room. I've learned from your other episodes that it's a great idea to place a mirror on this wall that attract the natural scenery from that window. But I wonder can I put a crystal chandelier with gold trim that may reflect from the mirror? I'm supposed to use the mirror to absorb the best scenery from that window, but having a crystal chandelier above dining table, would it reflect away what I intended to absorb?
Best thing about being stuck at home, I started doing projects around my condo, so, I discovered Julie Knuu!, By far my favorite designer to follow. I love your style! So when you mention your friends, I feel that we could be friends. 😂☺️ I have a medium size chandelier in my kitchen, that requires six bulbs; I need light but I also want it soft. I also have undercabinet lighting which helps with the amount of light. Do you have any suggestions on which lightbulbs to use?
Always LED if you can, it’s the more energy efficient choice. Get both soft white and daylight bulbs and test them both before committing to the 6 Kareen!
I like your ideas tx so much
Great info
Glad it was helpful! 🙏☺️
Thanks julie.
Thank you for watching ☺️
Lots of great information! I love that you explained about scaling to the room. I am looking for lighting in my Kitchen (pendant), dining room, and living room which are all in one open space. Should I go with one finish for all of them? Should curtain rods match the finish of the lighting fixtures? Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us!
No, mix and match them Laccie! Check out my video on mixing metals for more tips!
Excellent Advice👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Thank you EJ!
Hi Julie! Just found your channel and I love your videos ! Your videos are so well organized and full of great takeaways.
I am looking for a couple of flush mount lighting for the bedroom floor hallway. I really like the two on this video at 2:08 (2 hallway globes) and was wondering where it’s from and what size it is.
Thank you so much for watching Donald! They should be linked in the description box ☺️
Your hair is so beautiful 😍
Thank you for watching Melina! Covid did a number on my hair, but happy to say we’re slowly getting back there ☺️
Thank you for justifying my crazy art nouveau chandelier in my 12' high entry. My mother told me it was too bold, but it felt just right to me. Smaller and less attention grabbing would have look under sized and neglected, so thanks for confirming my impression. ^__^
If it feels right for you- that’s ALL that matters Marianne! It’s your home, it should inspire you daily 😍
Too good video
Awesome channel. Love the videos and all the information. I’m trying to figure out a new ceiling light for my office/library in my new home. The room is 10x11 feet, and the ceilings are about 10 feet. One wall is going to be floor-to-ceiling book shelves (deciding on a two tone warm and dark wood finish with library ladder). I love that brass/copper color finish for fixtures. Wasn’t sure if I could/should hang the lighting a bit or if it should be a flush so as not to block the book shelves at the top? Any suggestions or recommendations would be much appreciated.
Flush or semi-flush. Your ceilings are taller than average, but you don’t want to visually block the smaller sized space.
Hi Julie, I love your channel! Your lighting video was so very helpful. I just purchased a massive chandelier and I don’t know what to with the rest of house. Would love to have your take.
Every room should have its own distinct look, let the furniture be your guide
You are amazing 😊
You’re amazing! 🙌🏻
I think you should add a reference to your title like “Size” so when people search for light fixer sizes compare to their ceiling height it will show..! But your Chanel is amazing and I would LOVE for you to dedicate a playlist for Feng shui... when it comes to directions and metal colours and different rooms of house and why not business and commercial location! thank you
Thank you for the feedback! Just changed it 🙌🏻
Love love love your channel ... Can you give me example of Mediterranean/modern lighting???
Check out the follow up video to this one where I list over 100 fixtures all under $500 Teresa!
Very informative. Any suggestion for small open concept space..living/dining. Thanks.
That’s coming up next week KK! Stay tuned 🙏🏻☺️
Thank you for your advice! You made me feel so much better about a recent purchase for my foyer lighting. I splurged, but I know that i will love it! It hasn't arrived yet, so I am having a bit of anxiety regarding if I chose the right size or not. I think that it will be okay though. My ceiling is 23ft from floor, rounded reverse staircase with 2nd story window. Staircase walls roughly 18ft diameter, but it opens to a platform at the top, so it's not all completely walled-in.. The lighting fixture is a 42" diameter sphere made of crystals (handmade Etsy). It's so pretty and sparkly! i really wanted a light and airy feel for my statement piece and overall vibe for the house. I am guessing that I should center it to the upstairs window, right? Thank you!
Center it to the space below, if that aligns with the second story window, awesome 👍🏻
I would love to see lighting fixtures for small compact homes and narrow hallways
Check out the other lighting video where I source 100 of my favorite fixtures under $500
She is great at what she does.
Thank you for watching 🙏🏻☺️
Hi! First off, I love your channel. You have great suggestions. I am in the market for lighting in my kitchen over the kitchen table. I can send you a photo if you'd like.
Hi Rene! If you’re interested in design services you can contact me directly at the email in description box ☺️
Just found your channel today looking for layout ideas and I've been binge watching ever since! For 8 foot ceilings throughout the home, should all the lighting be flush mounting for each room/area?
Just subscribed, thanks!
Thank you for watching! Not if the fixture is situated above a table. Then you can drop it lower since it won’t move.
Thanks so much for this!!! Super helpful! I was hoping you could clarify a comment about how light finishes should match from room to room but in the mixed metals video I get the sense that mixing finishes was ok to do.
My situation is I have 21 ft living room where 60 inch round nickel crystal orb chandelier. Next to the living room I have a spiral staircase with black iron rails where I was thinking of a black finish. This would be on the second floor.
Should they both be the same finish?
Any help is greatly appreciated!!!
I like the mix Shah! 👍🏻
Hi Julie! Great video with great tips! I have an 18 ft ceiling family room. What kind of lighting should I get for this room? My style is modern/traditional.
Something HUGE! I custom made a 6ft orb chandelier with crystal inside (seen in this video for 17ft ceiling) You need at least 52” D to really make an impact
I love love your channel! What is a recommendation for the type of light 💡? We have super bright ones and I feel like it’s too bright for the space.
Thank you for watching Anagabrielle! Just lower the wattage on your bulbs. I love soft white LED’s myself, warm but not too yellow 👍🏻
I like your idea
Thank you for watching 🙏🏻☺️
Your awesomeness thanks
Hello! Loved the video. I have a two story great room with lots of natural light but not sure which type of chandelier to go for. The raindrop chandeliers look nice but not sure if that might be too much..
It’s never too much 😉
@@JulieKhuuThanks 😅 this is what I'm going for.. www.amazon.com/dp/B07PCRRHGT/?coliid=IV99AMWKTJAV1&colid=1UVAEKAW6P1K0&psc=1
Thank you for all your advice in this video. Really helpful! We have a 2 story ceiling living room (17'×15'×20' ft). Should we go for 69" L × 49" W or 56" diam × 35" H? Do you think which one will fill the room better?
It really does depend on what’s going on underneath the chandelier, but if it’s an entire seating group, I would say the larger the better. Hope that helps Danap!
I am new to your channel & loving it! Please take this as constructively as possible - the loud ding that happens throughout this video is extremely annoying & makes it hard to focus on your great content. I’m really impressed by your ability to explain things in simple enough terms for non designers to understand but still with great specificity. I hope your baby is well! 🌞
Thank you Cam! This was one of my earlier videos and it used to not bother me, now I hate that bell lol 😂 We’ve removed it from all subsequent videos, hope you’ll tune in for more design tips! 🙏🏻
Julie Khuu 😁 I was already loving & binge watching your vids & then I saw the one with each of your sweet fur babies memorialized & now I love your sentimentality & personality even more! ❣️
I love all these tips!!! Thank you so much! Do you know where I can find the island pendant lights you featured at 1:38? Thank you!
Thank you for watching Kristina! They're sold out but I found an almost identical version here: bit.ly/39YCI5H

Hi Julie, I loved this video. I loved into a brand new house 2 years ago w/ builder grade lighting. I've wanted to change it since day 1 and add beautiful light fixtures plus canned/recessed lighting as each area is "under lit." How can I send you pics of my areas where you can make suggestions?
Hi Dora, I am offering E-design/ virtual consultations while we are in quarantine. You may email me for more details if you’re interested ☺️ Email is in description box
Hi Julie! I'm remodeling my kitchen. I'm trying to find 2 pendant fixtures to go above my island, but we have an antique chandelier from my grandmother right next to the kitchen in our dining room. Do you have any tips for making it cohesive?
Hi Julie! Just found your channel and I am completely inspired! Your videos are so well organized and full of great takeaways.
I am looking for a sizable lighting option for my 2 story/20 foot ceiling foyer over the staircase. I was really ga-ga over the one in this video at 4:23 (crystal inside a globe) and was wondering where it’s from and what size it is. Also, are there any rules on how long it should be as well since you only mentioned diameter?
Any minimum distance necessary between one chandelier and another (ie. one over kitchen dining table and one over kitchen island in same room)
and does your island have to be a minimum size to allow for a chandelier or pendant(s)?
Thank you so much! Looking forward to watching more of you 😊
Hi Tara, I custom made that massive chandelier overseas. It’s 72” in diameter for 21’ ceiling height. It’s an open space so it could handle that size. No rules on island/ dining table lighting, I think as long as they coordinate- whether style or finish, you’re all good. And lastly no minimum size of island for pendant, just scale it proportionately and you should be fine 👍🏻 Thank you for watching!
Great channel! Love it!!!! Would you please recommend the places that sell cordless floor lamps and wall-mounted fixtures? I am in Canada, but willing to order from the States as well. Thank you so much!
I have another lighting video that links over 100 fixtures for less than $500 Anele! I’m not sure about the cordless floor lamp, but doesn’t hurt to check the variety of vendors I shared
Loved it!!! All the brands you gave were very useful. The circle+sphere shaped one is from which brand pls ? the one on your website
That one was custom made for my client SK ☺️
Hi Julie, I just found your channel and already love it! Thanks for sharing all this great information! I would like to know what type of light fixture you would suggest for my formal dining room that has a vaulted ceiling with 3 skylights in it, on one side of the room the ceiling is 8 ft, on the other side it is 13 ft tall. If I want to hang a fixture in the center of the room - above the table, it would hang from a vaulted ceiling, since the ceiling reaches the tallest point off center - I’m hoping I am explaining myself correctly... does it make sense for a chandelier to hang off of a vaulted ceiling (where it is still tilted)? I would love to hear your opinion, thanks!
Yes, center the fixture above the table to define the space below it. Doesn’t matter if it’s hanging from a vaulted portion or the highest beam. The dining room below will dictate where that fixture goes.
Thank you!
Thank you for watching! 🙏🏻☺️
@@JulieKhuu do you have a video on industrial urban interior design? It would be great to see it through your sight.
hi julie i really like your channel. Could you please make a video about temperature lighting warm vs cool. how it affects the design and how to choose the best fit for each style. I am really struggling with this aspect of design i noticed sometimes warm lights can give a beautiful glow and others it can make a place look so dated. its so tough to decide.
I’ve been getting this comment a lot Roxii! I had no idea it would be such a hot topic. I like warm lighting since my style is more eclectic/ new traditional. I love warm candlelight, I design with warm woods and lots of gold/brass elements so soft white LED (with warm undertones) work well for my space. For more modern aesthetics that lean towards cool colors (blues/ grays/ silvers) I like daylight. It’s crisp and clean and works well with the modern aesthetic. Just commit to one, don’t mix, and it will turn out beautifully!
Hi Julie, as always, I Loved it! In more humid Texas, there's a tendency to have fan lighting. What's your thoughts on how to manage that especially in Living, dining and master bedroom. Believe on those summer nights a ceiling fan is a god sent without going crazy on AC!. Please help. Also when purchasing for a brand new home, which room do you start with?
I’d layer with wall sconces in rooms with ceiling fans for ambient lighting. Start with the room you use the most, typically the common areas if you entertain often.
Good afternoon Julie, i love all your videos. They so helpful 🙏🏿 I have a new house, I am trying to make it look sophisticated and classic. For the lights I like crystal chandeliers for my home, can I mix that with Tefany drops down light for my kitchen? Your opinion will help me greatly. Thank you 🙏🏿
The styles are a bit mixed, crystals a little more glam and Tiffany pendants traditional. If you love the look, go for it Claudette!
💎🌹Hi Julie, I'm a new subscriber and LOVE 🏅your insightful, interesting and user-friendly content, so 😊 I found you. Unlike many interior designers I viewed in the past, your FRIENDLY and knowledgeable disposition is so refreshing and so welcome to a neophyte like myself. THANK YOU very much...back to my bingeing your past videos 📹 💓💓💯‼️
I need help souring a light fixture for my medium sized bedroom and dining room (rectangle table seats 6pp) and living room (medium and large size) in a price range under $500.00 for 2020 modern/high glam high-end looking fixtures from reputable companies.
Thank you for watching and your support Niecy! I have another lighting video right after this one where I link over 100 different fixtures under $500! Check it out ☺️
Hi Julie! I’ve been watching a lot of tour videos lately and I want to thank you for giving us so many great tips. I just have a question on the dining light above the dining table. I think I watched another video of yours that said that the light should fill up the area above your dining table. So if we had a long rectangular table, I believe you had mentioned we can use 2 - 3 pendant lights above it. In this video, you only mention to use the 2 - 3 pendant lights above a kitchen island. Can you please help to clarify whether we should have two or three lights above a long dining table as well?
That’s up to you, your design intent and how large the fixture is Vi. Lighting should span the entire length of the table. That means the light output, not necessarily the fixture itself.
I just found your Chanel and have binge watched your videos the last two days! They are so helpful. I’m so glad you did this particular video! I’m wanting to dress up my transitional breakfast nook. It has a 10’ ceiling. I want the RH Foucault orb crystal chandelier but it only comes in 21 and 32 inch. Do you think I can get away with the 32?
If there’s a view, go smaller so you don’t block it 👍🏻
Julie Khuu thanks Julie!! Not much of a view besides a large framed art on the wall in the breakfast nook. It’s a typical open concept with the family room and kitchen nearby.
Hello Juie,
Please tell me if an 8' kitchen ceiling should have pendants? I will have a moveable cart island in the middle, either 12" or 18" wide. Since my kitchen is only 11" 7" wide I could not have a bigger island.
Thank you for all your help through your videos.
Hi Patti, thank you for watching! It’s not necessary with ceilings that low. If the cart was stationary, you may install pendants, but seeing as how you will be moving them at your will- people will bump into the fixtures. Try semi-flush mounts. They give the illusion of pendants, but still hung up pretty close to the ceiling. Hope that helps!
I love ceiling fans for my living room. Tall 20 foot ceiling. Do u have any recommendations?
Great video and tips! What are your tips in terms of min wattage of light a room needs? ie. bedroom - how many watts should the fixture support if it's the only source of light?
Also wondered if you would suggest also including recessed lighting in a bedroom, with the addition of a center light fixture for ambiance? (ie. kids rooms)
The maximum wattage the fixture permits on a dimmer Connie- this will allow you to control the output. Yes, I’m a huge fan of recessed lighting on dimmers as well.
@@JulieKhuu sorry I meant, when sourcing a light fixture, how do you know how much wattage a room needs for sufficient brightness. Is it a mathematical equation like length x width x 1.5 ? (Ie 12x12’ room would need 216 watts).
Thanks for a wonderful video. Very specific question. My living room has 8’ ceiling heights. I plan on hanging a fixture above a large ottoman that is between a couch and fireplace. Do you think a flush-mount is still appropriate in this scenario?
Sure, if you need the extra lighting and don’t walk under it 👍🏻
Thanks for the post. Very helpful.
We got a living room with 19 x 25 and roof at 10ft. Looking for some chandler/Flush mount to the ceiling which brightens the whole room. Can you please suggest

This is soooo helpful!! Thank you for taking the time to help with lighting. I am so excited to have fun with picking some things out!
I have a queation for you in regard to ceilings. We just purchased a home built in 1942, American Colonial. This home is on the traditional scale and although we do enjoy this style, I dont want it to look like my grandmothers home as she was an interior designer and her home was traditionalbut oh so gorgeous!
For me, I'd love a more modernized style of traditional.
My question: would you be willing to do a video on ceiling tiles or did you already talk about it and I've just missed it? I would love to have them in my home but am unsure if this would be a good choice as we do not have vaulted ceilings...i believe they're about 9 or 10? I dont want the room to look short but love the "wow" effect of these. Thank you for your time!
Paint or source ceiling tiles in a color similar to your walls and help the room appear larger as a result Kimberly. If there’s too much contrast, the ceiling will look lower than its actual height. Hope that helps, thank you for watching 🙏🏻☺️
Love the video as always so wondering I have a living room with high ceilings just purchased a home there is a ceiling fan in the living room I would like to change it out for a chandelier and I would like to change a lot of the outdated fixtures for nice chandeliers gold or brass with crystals where is the best place to shop for those Home Depot and Lowe’s were limited on options at least at the store any helpful recommendations or options would be greatly appreciated definitely want though luxury more expensive chandeliers want to feel like I’m walking into trump Taj Mahal LOL thank you so much wishing you and your family a happy new year

Just find your channel and I love your style!! I wish I could hire you!! We are currently finishing up styling our kitchen...i love our house but decorating has taken quite some time so we're taking our time with each space... Our house is a Mediterranean build and kitchen is white... Our house looks like restoration hardware which is good but want to still have that vibe but spend less... The final lighting we need in the kitchen is over the island... Our kitchen is white and gray would u suggest a statement light to match the breakfast nook which is a modern light fixture from RH or go simpler
I would keep it separate from the breakfast nook, the island lighting is always the star of the kitchen. Thanks for watching Reeba! I’m available for E-design if you need me 😉
At work I see listing photos from a tear down to $50+ million one of a kind. lighting makes such am impact in a space and overall value of a property. The really expensive flipped properties, the interior typically was properly designed and unique fixtures sourced. Using middle class fixtures is almost a guarantee that you can’t get top .1% buyers.
Agreed! When I design spec homes, we always budget for fabulous lighting fixtures 👍🏻
Hi Julie, how do you pick lighting on in an open concept home where the dining room kitchen and living room are all open? Do I match my pendant lighting over my island with my light over the dining room table? I’m definitely going to check out your link on places to find great lighting. Thank you for the wonderful video!
