#InteriorDesignTips #InteriorDecorating #CustomHome
Your comments are spot on - another insightful post from you! One small suggestion: please use more "typical" home examples. The spaces you've worked on are incredible but very out of touch with the average viewer. It would be much more helpful to see a high-end example and another more simple based on what the average home looks like.
Thank you so much for the feedback Raina! This helps tremendously 💗
I was going to suggest the exact same thing. Those homes are GORGEOUS,, but most of us viewers don't have that grand of a home, so an upgrade on a "normal"..(I hope I'm using the right word) or like she said the "typical" home would be wonderful.
I thought the same. I feel like the real struggle is to use some of thous advises, like grouping sitting areas, when u have a rather small space.
Rajna Kecojevic you’re right...most of us don’t live in huge spaces. 8’ ceilings, 1500-2000 square foot homes are more realistic.
I respectfully disagree because youtube is already chock-full of cheap DIYs. I actually hate when people cheaper the lesson. Truly lux homes take money or REALLY good scavenging/fakes (aka DIYs). I would personally unsub.
My three things would be ripping out my carpet and installing hard surfaces, putting in taller baseboards, and fresh paint!
Yes those baseboards will pack such a punch! That sounds like a major renovation Christina! 🙌🏻
Julie Khuu I cannot wait🙌🏼Long overdue improvements☺️✨
I love wood floors! Can I offer a suggestion? I moved into a house with blondish wood, and the former owner also put a dark wood in other rooms. The dark wood shows EVERY speck! Just be careful! 🌻
Kathryn oh I know I’m for sure going light. I have dark on a rental we installed while we were living there and I swore I’d never do it again for that very reason. Shows it all!
@@Tinyteacher1111 You are so correct!! I love the look of the dark floors I had installed BUT I am a slave to them. Every piece of lint or dust looks so obvious. I need to dust mop them daily and wash them every few days. I never had this problem with the light oak original hardwood flooring in the older part of the house. So much for trying to update to a more contemporary look. Never again! I actually regret doing it now and it wasn't cheap! I live in a busy neighborhood in a big city so it's hard to keep the dust and dirt out-even from just cars going by, I feel they stir up dirt too and it gets inside.
I looked around my living room and decided the number one thing is to clean it.
And purge 😅 The two most fundamental aspects before design
😂😂😂😂
LOL! Ditto. Clean and declutter.
😂😂😂
🤣🤣🤣 less is more
Wallpaper, ceiling detail, lamps, gallery pictures, seating zones, molding, huge statement art, white sheets, nickel hardware or black matte, symmetry, window covering layers, & customized.
In a nutshell!
Painting my living area would probably be the most economical improvement I could make and change the ceiling from white to a hint of colour. I also would like to buy two accent chairs and toss my lay-Z-boy chairs. Thanks for the tips!
I know those Lay-Z boys are super comfy, but there are more stylish options out there 👍🏻
White sheets and towels, 2 bedside tables, black matte handles. 💕
Love symmetry for pure elegance 👍🏻
Thank for your good advice. Live houseplants do wonders for my home. When I remove them for special fertilizing or watering, the room looks oddly bare. I especially like big plants or a display of several small plants and textures featured on a tray. Also, live plants help to clean the interior air. The only problem is that many plants need to be by a window, and they reject where I want to place them because of lack of light. So, I figure them out. Nothing looks prettier than a beautiful, live plant.
Agreed! Just made a brand new video about styling the home with indoor plants Linda! Check it out if you haven’t already 🙌🏻🌿
I know this is an old post, but my suggestion is to use single 'grow' bulbs - helps the plant and highlights it at the same time. I put them in those hinged lamps so I can move it closer or further way from the plant.
I just got my blanket layer for my bed at the sales, it's beautiful, white and has a textured finish. It's been 29 years of marriage (this week) and the cost of something so beautiful was not a priority until now - a lock down, supporting local business at the shopfront, and Covid19 will not get me down. Next I am remaking my living room for a grand finish for Christmas, and a quiet time at home.
Sounds like the perfect time to prioritize what matters most, love this 🙌🏻☺️
This is so right on time. Thank you. I am changing the blinds in every room.
It will feel much cozier without the blinds ☺️
Easiest things I could do to upgrade my space right now... 1. upgrade the window coverings in my dining nook. I want to do this before winter so I can warm it up by closing the curtains too. I need to figure out how to do corner curtain rods as I want it to look custom to the space. 2. Update my fireplace mantel. Ok, the whole fireplace needs an update, but the mantel will be the least expensive start. 3. Upgrade the seating. Since moving in a year ago, we haven't really figured out how to style the new space. Our furniture was bought to fit our old house, and, while I love our couch, I now wish it was a lighter colour. The best way I can figure out to layout the room will need some smaller chairs opposite the couch and I'm worried I'll have a hard time getting the visual weight of the space to balance out. Our living room is much more awkward than I realized when we bought, and my husband and all our friends are saying a sectional will break-up the space too much.
I would love to see a video talking about how to make awkward layouts work (though I just discovered your channel, so maybe I need to do some digging!)
Thank you for watching Stephanie! They make corner connectors for window treatments- Amazon or Bed, Bath, and Beyond. I am working on a video for awkward layouts now, stay tuned! 🙏🏻
I like this video. Lighting is one of my favorite things. I like the add plants and pillows and I limit the numbers.
Less is more when it comes to pillows. When it comes to plants, I say pile it on! lol
i believe choice of colors is also a big factor to have the space look more elegant, like a combinations of royal blue, silver and gold and white, or velvet green, vintage brown, gold, or earth and pastel colors.
Thank you for watching Lara! Always surround yourself with the colors you’re inspired by 👍🏻☺️
I love my bold print, colorful sheets, thank you very much!
White sheets aren’t for everyone. Always do what you love 👍🏻
Hi Julie, great video as your tips are so helpful. Could you do a video how to mix metals? Our appliances are all stainless steel but I’m loving brass. How should we incorporate brass with stainless steel kitchen?
Yes, I love this idea and one of my signature looks. Will queue it up! Thank you!
I love your design vids. Most other TH-camrs designs are too casual or modern.
Thank you so much for watching Michelle! I think we all have our personal aesthetic to share 💕
I intend to sell my30 Yr old house and settle for a tiny house for myself. I'l b needing lot of space saving ideas.. learning house interior
DO's & DONT's. Thanks to you😍
Definitely check out my small space, awkward spaces, and design mistakes series Isabel! I know you will get a ton of inspiration 👍🏻☺️
Very useful video! Thank you! Feel inspired now to decorate and style my new home !
Thank you for watching 🙏🏻☺️
Bedrooms to look like a luxury hotel and my livingroom and staircase and wallpaper and ceiling color change spray fixtures love the ideas you explained
Luxury hotel look is not for everyone I know, but I love that suite vibe!
Looking around the house, yup this wall needs wall paper that wall needs wall paper. Going to paint those kitchen cab knobs matte black. Thanks for all the great tips, enjoying your channel.
Black hardware you can do in an instant for a quick update Edwin 👍🏻 Thank you for watching 🙏🏻✨
Literally everything needs upgrading.
1) Window treatments in bedrooms; remove building standard blind with plastic rope, open plan living room; remove curtain rods and get celing runners, i want to add celing to floor curtains.
2) Reupholstere my current couch with velvet/ seude emerald green fabric. add metal tone pillows.
3) spray paint kitchen hard ware matt black and gold.
4) spray paint kitchen fossette gold and sink matt black.
5) add sconces and pendants to divide the open plan kichen living room dinning area, add gold sconce in the kitchen above the sink.
6) level up ceramic back splash tilings in the kitchen by adding gold grouting. paint kitchen wall light pebble grey.
Thank you for watching! I have never seen a faucet and sink spray painted successfully. You would have to use epoxy for a porcelain sink and the finish would scratch off from the faucet, even with multiple top coats. Just do a bit more research before you commit!
White sheets are a challenge with an old dog who sleeps on the bed and a sweaty husband 😂😉
Haha I have both 🙋🏼♀️ A dollop of vinegar in the wash helps keep whites bright ☺️
I painted my rented apartment wall white including doors, I used 3 colors red black white for the living , plus I used my paintings ( I m an artist) to create an eclectic and cozy effect .
Used white leather sofa with cushions - red black grey ,
Need to work on my balcony with greens...
Personalizing your space with original artwork is aces in my book Abby! 🙌🏻
1. Add lighting in my living room
2. Make a feature wall
3. Decluter
I already changed my bedding comforter to white!
Awesome! Purging is so necessary to invite more inspiring things into your home 👍🏻

Awesome video! I'm wondering what is the best color decorations to put on mined coal grey walls. I'm thinking of baby blue but not decided yet.
Thank you for watching Lea! Check out my video on how to choose the best color palettes for your room. Hope you get some good tips 👍🏻☺️
This was the first video by you I watched & love it
Thank you for watching Amelie! One of my earlier ones, hope you check out the latest! 🙏🏻☺️
Hi! In the midst of purchasing our first home! Unfortunately, it has blown popcorn ceilings and our budget doesn't allow to have them scraped. Would you still advise in painting them something besides white? Roughly 8' high. Also, we live in the south and ceiling fans are a must!! Going for a 70s, boho, eclectic feel. Love your videos... very helpful! Thanks!
Thank you for watching Dori! There are a ton of TH-cam videos showing how to DIY scrape your popcorn ceilings! Doesn’t hurt to take a look to see if you can tackle it yourself 🙌🏻
I love this. I am buying my townhouse this year and I learned so much from you already from texturing, lighting, window treatments and symmetry among other things! The white bed sheets definitely is the way to go. Thanks so much 😘
Thank you for watching Geraldine! 🙏🏻☺️

You need to own this "upscale" design :) I WANT IT, NEED IT, LOVE IT! 😎😎😎 thanis for your channel
Thank you for watching Patrick! I appreciate the support 🙏🏻☺️✨
White sheets, painting the ceiling different color, statement pictures
White sheets are just pure heaven 😍
Hi, Julie! I am learning so much from you, thank you for your channel! I am curious, what do you suggest for a small apartment that has the cheapest possible melamine cabinets? It also has the cheapest possible doors that are covered with fake wood covering. I am finding it a bit depressing, but I know there is always hope. Thank you again!
Try peel and stick wallpaper Angela! Check out my video on apartment hacks video for renters 👍🏻
Hey
Can you do a similar video for how to make a rental home look more personal?
I have one up now. Check out the apartment hacks video for renters Goldie 👍🏻☺️
Great info!!! 🤍🤍🤍
Thank you 🙏🏻
Hi great tips! Can I do matte black hardware in kitchen or do i need to carry it throughout the house into the Bathrooms, light fixtures and sconces? Every thing is nickel right now.
It doesn’t need to be everywhere Roberta! I actually prefer each room to have its own distinct look
I could add pillows to my couch, maybe get a coffee table and get a big art piece
A statement art piece will make a huge impact in the space Wendy! 👍🏻
@@JulieKhuu thank you
Go Julie, Thanks for your tips I enjoy it how do you deal with high ceiling windows
You can either install custom shades or don’t address those windows at all to let all that lovely light through. Thank you for watching Hodan! 🙏🏻☺️
Adding Styrofoam crown molding with led light strips and an X-large ceiling medallion to frame my new bling ceiling fan above my bed.
Styrofoam crown is such a smart move for that extra oomph without spending a lot 🙌🏻
Hey there
Replace blinds,new black hardware in kitchen,new carpet.👍
Check out my new window treatments video for some tips on replacing the blinds Kayann!
Hi Julie, is there a way to see the designs or interiors of hotels over the years? For example the inside of a mandarin Oriental hotel from a previous refresh?
Google would be the best option, search “Before and After “x” hotel”
Love this video! What video editor did you use?
Thank you! Adobe creative cloud
Any recommendations for where I can get affordable and chic textured wallpapers?
I love designerwallcoverings.com Van!
@@JulieKhuu Thank you.
I love Julie
Thank you for watching Valda 🙏🏻✨
Just subscribed Looked around and . One big portrait, the lighting and ceiling’s are some things I could do differently. I have a nice home but I need some more color I think everything is so boring and beige. I would love your help
Thanks for watching Gail! Start with the room that gets the most use. Check out my interior design 101 video for my process, it will help immensely to have a plan in place.
I live in a rental with curtain boxes, I was thinking of hanging rods above them for the curtains then sheers under the box, what are your thoughts on that ?
Everything should go under the valance box
In my bedroom…window treatment, nightstands. Can’t think of a third.
Those two will change everything!! 👍🏻
I’ve learned so much from you.i thank you so much
Thank you so much for watching Marlene! 🙏🏻☺️
Might be a silly question, but I’m assuming that if I wanted sheer and blackout curtains I’d need to use two curtain rods? Curious because I’ve never done this before 😬
Yes Deedee- they make double drapery rods for this very purpose. Bed Bath and Beyond has great options!
Julie Khuu thank you so much!
great video. I am in the process of redoing my bedroom and I want to go a touch of boho style but still functional and I am sooooo stuck.
Thank you for watching Yesica! Check out my Dream Space series to get you started 👍🏻
Every body now a days going for grey color my house its all white I only change the cushions every two weeks I love colours on cushions and my bed room is all white again I only change the cushions and billow cases and in this way I don't get bored of the stuff I have every two weeks it's a new home but i like the idea of four chairs in stead of a sofa it's nicer and more elagant I made this in study room but your house is beautiful enjoy your home
Thank you for watching! I favor white over grey as well, such a bright and refreshing blank slate to layer color on! 🙌🏻
I live in a lovely large log home and I dislike the typical interior Lodge look that seems to be the only option for log homes. Since we don’t rent out to vacationers, I have no desire for the Lodge look. I have cream leather furniture to brighten up the living room, but that is where my creativity stops. I always get very nice compliments about my home, but I feel as though it could use just a little bit more oomph. Any ideas or tips?
Check out the “chalet chic” section under my Holiday Decor video Barry! I love the look of layered textures in tonal colors. That white sounds fabulous, especially layered with sheepskin 🤍
@@JulieKhuu Where have you been all of my life?? Thank you! *off to check out your Chalet video!*

Hello! I just watched this video and quarantine, frustration, so many options aside I'm inspired to continue creating my bedroom nest.
One question. Since I'm dealing with a small bedroom space is at a premium.
I have a vintage desk that I've turned into a vanity (painted a simple ivory with) with a tall tri-fold mirror on the right side and on the left a modern mid-century vibe glass night table on the left.
Conventional wisdom is matching nightstands so I'm not sure if this combo is ok.
Thoughts?
If you love it Susi, go for it! I would place something matching on top for visual symmetry to tie them both together
Hey
i need to create less expensive but nice looking sink.. any advice?
There’s a variety of porcelain and stainless steel at every price point Maria. Look for clean lines, no curved corners for a modern vibe
What would you do if your bathroom ceiling is showing imperfections like taping to hide? I would love to have a walk in shower bit that's not about to happen anytime soon. My kitchen could use a light color on the walls but not blue or grey maybe a celery color. My house is very dark in color
Flat paint hides a multitude of sins 👍🏻
Ok I'm a new subscriber!!!!!🤣👍
Thank you for watching and your support 🙏🏻☺️
I notice you put your sofa sometimes in angle . What would you put behind the sofa or do u leave plain. Also I notice you put the furniture close together so the seating and center table are close to each other. I did it and it felt like the room was smaller and it was crowded. What did I do wrong?
What i would change bed covered to white . Also add some wall paper to bring one wall out.
I’m not a fan of angled seating groups, I feel like the room is off balanced that way. Scale and proportion can make or break a space Yudi. Perhaps your seating group was too large for the space? Check out my Dream Space series, the episode on scale and proportion will help guide you 💕
@@JulieKhuu thank you so much. At this point I am declutting and seeing how it looks.
What happened when not all the walls share the same colour? How should I paint the ceiling as you do not advise to leave it just white ?
I would go for a shade lighter than the dominant wall color
Any ideas on an RV?
I need to get my hands on one to design! Love this idea Sonia!
Hey there
Add a conference ceiling in living room, add sconces in hallway and I want to add extended wall on master bedroom wall to be able to recess an electric fireplace and TV. Very aggressive ideas.
Sounds fabulous! Statement making design might be the thing your home needs for a major refresh 🙌🏻
My living room drapes are a drab. My sofa is dark brown leather and I have biege curtains. Domyou have any suggestion asvto color drapes and wall? I have a aqua and blue rug. There are cheap blinds at the window. This isva 200 yo cottage. Any suggestions on and ways to make it brighter?
Think about what you’re committed to keeping that you love and inspires you. Then start rebuilding your room around that anchor piece. If you don’t love everything, then you’re forcing yourself to make it work. Hope that helps!
Bathroom- tile u stated how to place around vanity
You would just run it up the back wall from the countertop up. Will share more looks in a future video!
I’m moving in to a tiny flat and iff rd needs complete renovation and I’ve no idea where to start 😩
Start at my Dream Space series for a complete step by step design guide Dorota 🙌🏻☺️
I feel like changing my sofa from black to light shade upholster chairs, but I am scared of stains with kids around. I have almost gold and beige theme in my small living room. Please suggest.
Look for removable loose cushions and zippered seats with performance fabrics you can throw in the wash 👍🏻
@@JulieKhuu Thank you!
Is there somewhere I can message you and get your personal opinion 🥺
I answer all questions here on YT 👍🏻☺️
Add sheer curtains
Sheers are my first layer of defense for privacy with some natural light ✨
I disagree on symetrical design. 2 side of same thing, so ugly. I prefer a slight mess, a slightly more creative. I agree o. The ceiling part. Nvr thought of that
I’m sure your slight mess is still “balanced” even though it may not be identical. That takes a true artist’s eye to discern 🙌🏻
@JuklieKhuu,
You are fantastic! Thank You so much for the detailed ways you explain things...I love it when you give us a list of rules or do's and don'ts. SOOOO Helpful!! I grew up with a dad who was an incredible Ornamental Plasterer from Italy, A real construction family so I feel very comfortable helping others with their homes and they always love what I do...But My House..Another story.
I need so much help with my Kitchen. The other rooms( not too horrible)LOL-- But that kitchen was remodeled 13 years ago with expensive, solid, high-end wood cabinets - but I do a ton of cooking and all of the holidays here for all of our big family so it already looks so tired. Dull Granite, paint has worn off of every cabinet especially around the hardware, so many scratches and dents in the wood, and very inefficient use of the storage. It's pretty small too but I can't change that. The worst is that I need a big refrigerator, but Hate that it sticks so far out past the cabinets. It makes the room look even smaller. I'm hoping to use some of your ideas to give this very important space an inexpensive facelift. The cabinets are now a Tuscany looking soft buttery-linen color with a hint of light yellow in the Glaze. There's a bit of brown in the grooves of the raised panels. So much has worn off from wear and cleaning them all the time. Do I have to keep cabinets a light color or white when the space is tight? I wanted to paint them darker on the bottom and lighter on top ..( pulling 2 colors out of the Granite. .No one seems to like that idea here saying it will make the room seem even smaller and more narrow. My second big issue is the horrible backsplash. But the granite is very busy looking with warm golds, various greys, spots of Black and cranberry, and hints of light Ivory throughout. I have no idea what to do to freshen the backsplash without it looking too busy. The cabinets have wide crown moldings on top - but there is still wall above that what color paint?? What do you think? Help !! Going crazy in Boston....
From what you’re describing, it’s too much look for a small space. If the granite is already busy, breaking up the cabinets into two separate colors will divide the room, making it look even busier and smaller. So I agree with the masses on this one. Your best bet is to keep the cabinets one light shade and replace the countertops. It’s a small investment, but will make all the difference in the world. Go for a color that is similar to the cabinets and watch the entire space open up right before your eyes! 😍
Ditch my blinds and add sheers
New curtains ftw 🙌🏻
I hate my plastic white Venetian blinds in the kitchen, but any other alternative will block the light from the plants and people who walk on the street can peak in. Ideas??
You can install shades and simply roll it up enough to get light for your plants. Dual liners with a sheer option can work too!
I realized I live in a home not a hotel, so my cozy colored sheets are staying.❤️❤️❤️
Love it ❤️ Do what works for you!
HoteIs use white sheets because they are easier to beach and keep clean. Thats why
@@JulieKhuu I love these tips, but with some of the realities of being a woman, I prefer darker sheets. Any tips to incorporate darker sheets into designs? My apartment is mostly charcoal and cream, with accents of soft pink. I’m also a grad student, so do you have any cheap easy suggestions for transforming a first apartment?
❤️Love that! Perhaps a hotel cleaning staff coming in every day😉
@@elizabethbushnell8684 i hope one year later my comment will still be useful. Our bedroom walls are darkish grey and there are lots of cream and white accents and some dark wood. I sew a set of bed linen in dark chocolate flax linen and it's just gorgeous. I think it will go perfectly with your palette too. No more stress after a surprise period or spilled tea, just wash it thoroughly and the stains won't show as on the light fabrics. I hate the smell of bleach, so this is my solution.
I hang my mortgage payment right on the wall so everyone can see it.
Hahah then there’s no denying it 😂

I would suggest a video of improvements that renters can make. Almost all of your suggestions would break the lease agreement for a renter. Not to be contrary, it just feels really restrictive trying to design a space you are renting.
Got it! A lot of comments about renter-friendly upgrades so I’ll be working on a future video now! Thank you for the feedback Denee!
Denee McKim she probably not talking about rented accommodation for private tenants. Just paint everything of white or antique white.. and add your colour with bits .
Yes! I'd appreciate this too. I'm looking around at my rental house wondering what I can do without getting in trouble...!!

White sheets always!! Also, I think a home design is never complete without large house plants/trees
Yes! I live in a wild jungalow so I’m with ya on plants 🌿
Julie Khuu I’m in the market for faux indoor trees. Any online suggestions for nice and affordable.
Kara not everyone like large plants and trees in a home
Kara White sheets are boring. I love very soft colored sheets that relax me.
@@JulieKhuu tg
A very interesting video with a lot of good ideas. That wallpapered bathroom was especially yummy. However, here is another thought concerning white sheets. My theory is that sheets, like clothing, should be flattering to the person whose head is on the pillow. If white makes you look wan and ill, it is better to choose a color that suits your skin tone. I personally love my russet sheets!
Yes, do what you love! Don’t listen to what I have to say, it’s a matter of personal preference 😊
do some people look ill when they stand near a white wall? 😯
WOW! I am blessed to have found your channel. I started upgraded my home and look forward to seeing more posts on your channel.
I just discovered you Julie! So glad I did, you are a ray of sunshine, especially during this time!
Thank you so much for the support! 💗
hi Julie, I love everything ! can you make a video for tiny apartments and houses? people aren't buying big houses anymore. trend is going small. would be nice to go chick in tiny too. tx.

I love and have definitely made some takeaways from your video!
Awesome Alex! Love orchids, they always look high end even in the faux varieties 👍🏻 Thank you for watching!
Hi julie, I just adore your style! You are so optimistic and humble in the best possible way. You inspire me every time!😊
Aw thank you so much for watching and the support Sonia 🙏🏻💕
Hi
Hey
Basically I need to throw the entire house away and start over 😩
Lol that’s drastic! Think of different ways you can upscale and repurpose what you already have
Queen Isla 🤣 I needed to laugh because these 4 walls are driving me nuts 🥜🥜🥜
😂😂
Queen Isla lol from scratch
😹😹😹🙀😆
WoW , the best video that describes the word “expensive-home”
Thank you we followed your ideas. We added modern art in most rooms, upgraded all lighting fixtures and hardware. We are currently adding wainscoting and crown molding throughout the house. We already own a luxury house and now it looks as though it’s a million dollar house!! We received so many compliments from the people it matters such as the plumbers, landscapers and even the pizza guy.
Great design can’t go unnoticed Jim! 👏🏻🙌🏻
comments from "the people"? sorry, couldn't myself :)
I love all your videos! Sometime you will mention "buy well cry once." Where would you suggest to spend/splurge vs save on furniture/ home decor?
I have a video coming up on this topic Adrienne! Splurge on anything custom/handmade, save on anything you don’t touch every day
All is about 🔰BALANCE and SYMMETRY 🔰
Yes 🙌🏻
Agree with you
Great tips. Kindda laughed about the “one night stand..” I know u meant “nightstand” though.. LOL 😂
😂 thanks for watching and your attention to detail! Lol
She meant it. She was talking about symmetry and said 2 nightstands is better than 1 nightstand. Now get your mind out of the gutter,🤣🤣🤣🤣
I've noticed it also...i just ignore it. I know you mean a different thing. LOL

Thank You, for the great starter tips.
"If you can't afford to wallpaper a whole room, do a small room like a powder room"
Uhm pretty sure if I can afford a POWDER ROOM I can afford wallpaper?!
Lol a small powder room can cost 1-2K, while an average bedroom 5-6K
Couple gallons of paint = less than $100 even for Benjamin Moore, paint your bedroom in an afternoon. Done. If your tastes change, repaint. It's 100x easier and cheaper than replacing wallpaper. Just saying.
A powder room is just another name for half bathroom.
My biggest problem is I do not have a decorator's eye. It is overwhelming, and then frustrating trying to have things look really nice when I don't know how. Now, I just now I have to make myself happy in the space I have with what I have to work with. It will never look like what you do. I wish I could just hire you and give you a great budget to work with, you really are so talented.
Thank you so much for watching! I just dropped a new video on how to create your dream space using my design process. Hope you’ll check it out for some inspiration 🙏🏻
Hi Julie, 3 things i can do to upgrade my home :
- more artwork (i love odd pieces, but my wife is simple/classic)
- create a bar area for all of our entertaining
- upgrade my kitchen (new floors, back splash, paint, and cabinets. throw the whole kitchen away lol)
Start with the kitchen first! It will have the most major impact and you can start enjoying it now Britt!
Five stars Julie! So 90% of what you spoke about I've already done in my home out of my own intuition. Then near the end you said get rid of the vinyl blinds. I keep them because I'm concerned about the sun fading my artwork, furniture and rugs. But I recently had my windows replaced with glass that seems to have UV protection. So I pulled the blinds up, pulled the shears and Wallah, it looks great! What I really liked about your video is that you don't waste my time with fluff, you get to the points and give great information. I'm definitely a subscriber now, thanks so much!
Thank you so much for the thoughtful feedback Chris! Yes, windows nowadays come glazed with UVA/UVB filters, but you can also get it tinted right on. Then your last source of defense can come from a solar shade 🙌🏻
Just found your channel and I'm so glad I did! ☺️ I love how you've formatted the videos in digestible chunks. We just finished sheetrocking our living room and we are ready to put primer on the walls. I've been wanting to do something on the ceiling, like bamboo wood, but I thought it might be too much because we have regular 8' ceilings, and on top of that, I love herringbone patterns! 😍 I'm not sure if it'll be too busy, but I love seamless solid floors with no grout or grooves for easy cleaning, so maybe that would offset the busy ceiling? 🤷🏽♀️ Or, maybe I can reverse it, and put a wood ceiling with no pattern, but the have a herringbone pattern on the floor? I'm having a bit of a challenge making everything cohesive, but after watching your video, I'm sure I want to dress up our ceiling now, since it creates a sense of luxury! So, my three things are ceiling, something on the walls, and definitely getting rid of all plastic on my windows. 😅 Thank you so very much for the advice!💜
Ceilings are the fifth wall so treat it with care and attention Sandra. I love the idea of wood paneled herringbone- but your instincts are correct. The more of a statement you make up top, the more simplified the rest of the space should be to really let the ceiling shine. You got this 🙌🏻
