You've asked for it, everybody! These are the BIGGEST mistakes I am seeing in small spaces, that no one knows how to fix! I'm sharing my DESIGNER HACKS for small spaces and I just KNOW you'll find some helpful info in this video!! 🔥🥰😍 Comment below and tell me about YOUR biggest mistake and how you'll fix it!! 👇🏻👇🏻
Can we talk about ceiling options that aren't flat and some permutation of white? I love bold ceilings, but there's a fine line between dramatic statement and gimmick.
@@951000jerome Purpose built furniture and generously sized aquariums. If you do a console with a top that's the same size as the tank, it won't look like you just plopped the tank onto a table and said, "Good enough." You can also build niches, or half walls to put the tanks on, so they seem less random. Sizing the tanks so that they're a feature rather than an afterthought is a good idea too. Like, if you're going to have an aquarium, it should be roughly the same size as, or larger than, a television that you would use in the same room. Dinky tanks, like the ones you see lining the walls of pet stores are always ugly. If you're going to do it, make it a feature.
Right. We have a queen sized waterbed and a chest of drawers in a 9x9 bedroom. If you need a queen sized bed and only have a 9x9 bedroom, I mean--that's it.
@@LisaHoltDesign We tried changing the orientation of our living room rug, which put a chair right at the edge. It gave the same impression--that the chair was in danger of falling of the edge of the raft!!
One thing I’ve found helpful: put an accent light in the farthest point of the room. It makes your eye look at that furthest-away corner, making the room feel larger. It can be a tiny lamp on an accent table or a picture lamp above some art.
Oooh J that's such a cool idea!! 🤩👏🏻👏🏻 Lighting has a HUGE impact on how big or small a space feels...truly one of the MOST important things to think about when designing any room!! 💙🌟 Thank you so much for sharing this little hack - I learn SO much in these comments!! 💚🥰
One of the reasons I keep my “Christmas” tree up in that corner. I like the light it gives off and every holiday has been represented. It’s one of those tall thin trees so it doesn’t take up much room behind that chair....will probably remove when the lights burn out.
Yes! That’s what I did to our house too. I imagined islands on various points of the room, as a sort of visual interest. A tall open shelf, my sofa, my work desk. I realized three of those form a triangle that just anchors the place. The power of three. I made sure to put the lights of my room only on those three places at varying heights. BOOM, it’s like magic.
Lisa Holt is so cute with such a friendly, warm energy. Plus, she knows her stuff and she's very generous with the amount of information she shares. 👍You rock Lisa!😘
Aww M!! 💕🥰 You guys are just TOO good to me in these comments...this is so kind!!! 🤩🤩 I absolutely LOVE making these videos for you guys - I'm so glad you guys can feel the good vibes!! 😘 Thank you SO so much for leaving such a sweet comment - it really does mean the world!! 🌍🧡
The only disagreement I have is the bed. Platform beds are extremely popular but a bed lifted off the floor I have found to be best. Having real storage space that can be covered by a bed skirt or just a big comforter is fantastic!
You're totally right - it all depends on what works for you! 👏🏻💕 People have SUCH different preferences when it comes to storage solutions...definitely one of those things that comes down to individual preference!! 💙🌟 LOVE that you know exactly what you like - thank you so much for sharing your approach!! 💚🥰
I would love to see more “mistake” photos, and then “success” photos, not just one example of each. Pictures are much better than descriptions, and repeated photos of right and wrong decorating train our eyes to recognize right and wrong in our own house.😊
OMG this is great feedback!! 💚😍 I'm always looking for tips on how to make these videos more helpful for you guys...getting comments like these makes life SO much easier!!! 💕👏🏻 I will 100% jot this down! Thank you so much for the suggestion! 🥰🌟
Just had the pleasure to watch an older video... 🙋♀️ With your sharp aesthetics, i would love to see a 'wrong' room before and after.... Ideally using elements that are already there as a base for the change, as that is the way most of us "work" with our stuff at home.... And so often it is small changes that makes a great difference.... 💐
When I purchased my small condo 12 years ago it was very Tuscan inspired with deep gold painted walls and rust doors and trim, pretty, but soon - pretty depressing! ( North facing northern home - so basically no light) Fortunately ( 😭😂😭) I had a flood from my neighbour above me so took the opportunity to paint everything bright white. Same colour, different finishes for trim & doors, walls and bath & kitchen. Wow. It feels like I doubled my space. Happened 2 years ago and it still feels fresh and open.
OMG Barbara!!! What a crazy story - I'm so glad it worked out!! 💚👏🏻 Switching up your color really does make a crazy difference...seems like it was meant to be!! 💜😆 Hopefully I can pass on one or two new tips in this vid...I think you're going to love it!! 🥰🌟
@@LisaHoltDesign The point I forgot to mention is that I discovered your channel when I needed help deciding what to do. You 🥰helped me figure out which direction I needed to take and I have been so thankful ever since. 🥰❤️👏
OMG, Lisa! An idea maybe. A series where you revisit iconic shows from the 80s, 90s, early 00s, and discuss how the set homes would look like if they were designed today, but still keep their personalities. Examples of shows could be The Nanny, Friends, Golden Girls!!! I’m pretty sure the home in Golden Girls looked beautiful back in the day.
Angel!!! YES!!! 👏🏼 A TON of you guys actually suggested doing deep dives of other tv show sets when I did the Bridgerton video!! But doing a take on what they would look like now... What a FUN twist to it!!! 😝 Definitely on my list of video ideas!!! 😉📝 Thank you so much for the suggestion and for always supporting the channel!!! 😘🌟💖
We recently bought a bed that behind the bed head you can hide cushions and phones/books etc. so no need for side tables. It's perfect because all we can fit is our king bed and cot. 💚
OMG Tessa I love this!! 🤩💕 Talk about storage solutions - way to GO!! 👏🏻👏🏻 I'm so excited to hear how you guys handle your OWN small spaces...I learn sooooo much in these comments! 💚🥰Thank you so much for sharing, and thank you for tuning in this week!! 😘
What if you have small spaces that you don't feel the need to make look bigger? I love the small rooms in my house and prefer the cosy look rather than light and airy. I don't need the space to feel bigger. Bigger isn't always better. However I would still love design tips for these spaces.
OMG Michele!!! 🤣🤣 Maybe I should start talking about that in my videos... JK!!! 😂👏🏼 Thank you so much for watching and allowing me to be part of your Saturday morning!!! 🙈🥰❤️
Oooh Zubda!! 💕👏🏻 Narrow and awkward spaces are TOTALLY on my list...we all have one or two of them!!! 😆🧡 Thank you SO much for the suggestion - I love hearing what you guys want more of on this channel! 🤩💙 And thank you SO much for watching! You guys rock!! 😘😘
@@LisaHoltDesign I live in Greater New Orleans. If you can include anything for shotgun-style homes, the Gulf Coast will thank you! Narrow and one after the other. Vistas don't always exist!!
Idk why do people that don't live in small spaves always think that people who do always have one and the same goal - make it look bigger? I've got a small space, it's dark, moody and oriental - my own lil opium den. I never feel so cosy visiting anyone else's white and cream spaces 🤷♀️
People have stuff, sometimes a lot of it. Keeping small space organized and decluttered was always a problem for me, especially in the clothes storage department or keeping kitchen worktop neat.. No matter how cosy or visually attractive the space was a priority for me was not to feel stressed and overwhelmed by stuff.
I totally see your point. Sometimes a little cozy nook is all you want in your space. I try to make my home office space feel larger, but I don't with my bedroom, because I want it to feel more snuggly.
Girl, trust when I say-I see you. I too have always had the living space aesthetic goal of my own little opium den that's dark and moody but like one for disillusioned 18th/19th century sailors in New England somewhere.
Totally L!!! 💙👏🏻 Getting rid of those tiny rugs never hurts!! 😂😂 SO glad I could share a few of my favorite tips - thank you so much for coming out and supporting my channel this AM!! 😘💚
Even if I had no interest in interior design and decorating, I’d subscribe to your channel just to enjoy your exuberant and joyful personality. Thanks for brightening my day!
Tish!!! This is the sweetest comment ever - I'm blushing reading this!!! 🙈🥰 So glad I can add some brightness to your days, especially in times like these!!! 💕 Thank you so much for this kind comment and for being part of this AMAZING community!!! 😋💖😘
You pointed to a ceiling pendant as ambient lighting. I have always referred to ambient light more as mood lighting - lamps, sconces, floor lamps, all on dimmers. I never thought of it as overhead.
YES Carolyn!!! 🤩🤩 Great instincts!!! 💕👏🏻 SO glad I could cover a topic that you LOVE - I'm always so excited to hear that you guys are finding these videos helpful!! 💚 Thanks for tuning in for another week of Saturday design fun - you guys are the best!!! 😘💙
I had to rewind the lighting segment five times because it’s my favorite 🤩. I have lived several small places over the years and proper lighting was always my Achilles heel - really needed these tips!
OMG Marnie!!! 💕 Lighting is SUCH a challenge, especially in small spaces!! You are NOT alone!! 💙😂 So glad I could pass on a few of my favorite tips...thank you SO much for joining me for another design brunch!! 😘😘
OMG Lori!!! 💕💕 Those tiny homes are SO impressive...if only we could all be so efficient with our space!! 💙😂 LOVE this comment - you guys don't miss a thing!!! 🤩💚👏🏻
LOL Limpho!! 💕 You are SO totally right...now I can't unsee it!! 💙😂 You guys are always cracking me up in these comments - thank you SO much for sharing some fun!! 😘😘
Awww Jeannine this is so sweet!!! I always try to make these videos as real world applicable as possible - I love helping you guys with your projects!!! 🥰💕 If you're looking for a little more personalized help, make sure you get on the list for my brand new Dezign Club at www.lisaholt.com/thedezignclub!!! 🤩💙 It's going to be even CLOSER to having an in-house designer...you guys are going to LOVE it!!! 💚👏🏻
Did this with the outdoor rug I ordered. Our deck isn't huge, but I wanted a rug to define the sitting area, so picked up the west elm outdoor rug you mentioned in a previous video as it's close to the stain colour of the wood. This way it doesn't dominate or create sharp lines. The best analogy would be when I get a fade in my haircut to make it blend nicer along the sides.
C!! Love that analogy, and LOVE this approach!! 🤩👏🏻 Grouping your furniture for conversation but not breaking up your space...sounds like you NAILED it!! 💜😍 I LOVE hearing about you guys' projects...thank you so much for tuning in today!! 🥰💚
OMG CM what perfect timing!!! 🤩👏🏻 Those little apartments can be just SO cute...I know you're are going to NAIL it!!! 💜 SO excited to share these tips with you AND your daughter - let me know what you guys think!! 💚😘
Sorry I can’t make it to the premiere today but will be watching even though my space isn’t really small. Lisa’s tips are always universal and there’s something for everyone in each video, no matter the topic.
Ya know, I'd love a vid about pesky issues like cable management. I noticed you said to paint the cables, but are there other recommendations? Also for things like hiding kitchen appliances, t.v., etc.
Exactly what I needed! Speaking of mistakes, I wonder if you could share in a future video tips for resolving some design mistakes within a budget. For example, one bought the wrong colour for a sofa, scandi style ruined. What do we do now?
Oooh Claudia I love this!! 💕👏🏻 Quick fixes on a budget!! I'll 100% add this to my topic list...you guys have so many good ideas!! 📝🤓 Love that I could cover a topic you were wondering about...hope this was a useful vid!! 😘💜
Re-upholster, use blankets and horns to mask with oversized cushions, or get a fitted cover? i had this in an old rental and a bright green Klippan sofa that had to stay.... (!)
I like your new intros that list the highlights; it lets me know what I’m in for and when to really perk up and listen - because I want all those tips! 🤗 Thanks for sharing.
Oooh I'm SO glad to hear this!!! 👏🏼💜 I love switching things up in my videos sometimes - even as little as making the highlights of the video at the beginning!!! 😝 Thank you so much for watching and your feedback - I ALWAYS love hearing what you guys have to say!!! 🥰🌟❤️
OMG J!!! 🤯 These windows sound absolutely DREAMY - lucky you!! 💕🤩 SO cool that you live in a place where you can display them...this sounds like an absolutely delicious space!! 💙 Thanks so much for tuning in and supporting my channel this AM!! You guys are the BEST!!! 🥰🥰
Fiona!! I totally hear you!! 👏🏼 This video was just to help maximize the small space you have, as well as how to make your space feel BIGGER!! You can totally design your space the way that fits your fave style the BEST!! 🤗💜 And the use of mirrors in your space is an amazing way to help open that up with the darker colors involved! 🙌🏼 Thank you SO much for your input on this, I LOVE hearing what everyone has to say!!! 🥰❤️
LOL Laurie!!! Don't worry - not all of these looks are for everyone!!! 💙😘 Such a funny comparison...I totally see it now that you've pointed it out! 😂😂 So glad you could find one or two pieces of advice that DO work for you....thank you so much for watching!! 💕🥰
Awww S this is so sweet!!! 💕 Making these videos feels like chatting with friends...I love my channel fam!! 😘😘 Thank you SO much for making my day with this super sweet comment - it really does mean the world!! 🥰🌍
I vent w eggshell blue velvet draperies in my bedroom bc soft blue-green is that room’s accent to cream->sand + varm oak, and I needed something to block the Nordic summer sun (which rises at 4am 😬). The rest of the time they’re just a vertical dab of soft colour, no other window treatment. I went for a similar solution in my small, fairly dark dining room - white on white cotton print drapes that can be pulled out for privacy - like when away from home - and strictly neutral strips of fake frosted glass. There is still light through, no privacy issue, no feel of bulk and the pure frosted look adds to the scandi (somewhat) strictness of my home. No other treatments, and the dining room has a full glass wall to the private atrium/courtyard.
Aww Deborah!! That's ok - we missed you!! 💜😘 SO glad I could pass on a couple of useful tips...there's just SO much you can do to maximize a small space! 👏🏻👏🏻 Thank you SO much for always being such a fun part of my channel fam - you guys rock!! 🌟💙
I don’t know if you read comments, but I have yet to see any interior designers do a video on how to blend your living room with your dining room when they are essentially both in one big room but have for example, allowance for different hanging light fixtures, and in my case, are essentially divided by a walking space of about 5-6 feet that lead to French doors to the backyard. Please, please, please do a video of what works and what doesn’t when they are combined! Should rugs match? In what way? No rug under dining room table? Seriously confused. Thank you for all the ideas you have been sharing! You’re the best!
OMG Lida!!! 💕🤩 This might be a PERFECT question to cover in an upcoming Q&A video!! 👏🏻👏🏻 Blending two spaces in an open concept house can DEFINITELY be a challenge...and it's something designers run into ALL the time!! 😆 Do you mind sending this question to my Q&A box at www.lisaholt.com/q-a-submission? 💙 I'll do my best to get back to you over there, and I might even feature this question in a video!! 🧡😍
Thanks, Lisa as always! Use of vertical space up to the top of the wall ---where wall edge meets the ceiling edge -----always makes the space look larger-----example ------bookcases ----the trick is to have well curated objects on the shelves so it is not a clutter receptical.
Totally Ann - LOVE this tip!! 💕🌟 SO important to take advantage of ALL of the space you have...that totally includes vertical!! 👏🏻👏🏻 Thank you SO much for sharing what works for you - these comments are a GOLD MINE of information!! 💎🤩
Lisa's videos are ALWAYS informative, among other things, but this one really tops them all. I went to a very good design school but they never gave us specific, factual information like today's video does. I can see how helpful this information would be for someone who is trying to decorate their home without the help of a designer. Yes, scale and function are everything, no matter what: it has to serve a purpose for being there and it has to fit properly. Bravo!
Awww Silvi this is just the BEST comment!!! 🤩👏🏻 I LOVE sharing these little design tips with my entire channel fam...design should be for EVERYONE right??? 🌟🌟 This means SO much coming from a fellow designer - thank you so much for the kind words!! 💚😘
YAY Liz!!!! 👏🏻🤩 Same here...these premiers are always the highlight of my week!! 🥰🥰 So glad we could all hang out for another week of design brunch - you guys are the best!! 💚😘
Your videos are my number one inspiration! I think I did well in my 45 sqmeters when it comes to vertical space, furniture, window decorations and definitely with lighting! I opted for a round carpet in my living room since it’s not possible for me to clearly separate lounging and dining space, so to avoid „floating coffee table” effect, I chose that. I have white wall panels on one navy wall in my bedroom but it was so beautiful I could not resist 🤷🏻♀️ But everything else in the room is either white or light gold, so that little navy accent is just adding the character I think :) But I think I’ll add a mirror somewhere in that room - that will definitely make this 9 square meters room bigger!
Ooooh Kat - I think you're 100% nailing it!!! 🤩🤩 This space sounds absolutely AMAZING...way to go!!! 💚👏🏻 I DEFINITELY think adding a mirror will just be the cherry on top - good luck, and let me know how it goes!!! 😘😘💕
Such great advice Lisa! We're in a small rental home while our new house is under construction. There is not much kitchen storage but I managed to turn a coat rack attached to 6 x 2 foot wood planks into open storage by placing a two foot wide wire shelf unit in front of it. The coat hooks now hold pots and kitchen towels and the wire shelving underneath holds bail jars for spices and dry goods. I'd post a pic of I could, I think it looks really great ^_^
OMG Phyllis I love this!! SUCH a creative solution!! 🤩🤩 Way to GO making your space work for you...I love getting the updates on these projects!! 🥰💙 I can't WAIT to hear what you do with your brand new home...keep up the good work!! 👏🏻👏🏻💕
I have a mid century teak coffee table that lifts up, has two pull out leaves and becomes a dining table for six. My favorite piece of furniture ever. Hope a manufacturer will read this and make new ones. 🤔😉 A mirror under a plant helps boost the light the plant is getting. It is not much but every little bit helps in the winter.
OMG Linda!! 💕 Talk about maximizing space - what a fabulous piece!!! 👏🏻👏🏻 AND I love your mirrors tip...aren't they useful?🌟🌟 I learn SO much in these comments - thank you SO much for watching and sharing some of your tricks!! 😉💚
YAY Lori!! 🤩👏🏻 SO glad I could help you out!! Small space design is one of my FAVORITE topics to talk about...there really is SO much you can do!! 🧡😍 Thank you SO much for supporting my channel and making me smile with this sweet comment - you guys are the best!! 🥰💚
Lisa I found that cute coffee table that you showed on your video! The one that opens up with two levels. It was on Costco online here in Canada! Woot woot! 💃🏻💃🏻💃🏻
Lisa, I do love you, your energy and how generous you are sharing all that knowledge. However, one thing bugs me a bit. Where I live (central Stockholm, Sweden) a small space is not a bedroom where you can fit both a double bed and a daybed. You are considered lucky if you can fit a king size, 2 side tables and move around it 😃. I would love to see more ideas on how to make furniture work for multiple purposes. We will continue working from home well into fall here and most of us need to make do with what we have and can modify.
the Rugs Tip is the best tip. tiny rugs are good in entry ways to trip up your guests. or good in the kitchen to catch the over flow to the floor. or good outside your back door to wipe your feet before returning from the garden or balcony.
LOL Rix!!! 😆💜 Tiny rugs can definitely become a hazard, both to you AND to your style!! You have NO idea how often I see this issue in absolutely BEAUTIFUL spaces - such a simple fix!!! 💕😂 Anyways, no tiny rugs in MY channel fam - I know you guys can do so much better!! 😘😘
Thanks Lisa, I'm in a small flat so all the content is pretty much aimed at me. I recently changed my teal velvet curtains for floor length sheer white ones, thanks for the drapery video. I wasn't sure what it would be like against white walls but... I LOVE IT!!! Room looks so much brighter. Thanks for guiding me. Looking forward to the next leg of my journey 😍
Gail!!! OMG, that is so amazing to hear - I am SO GLAD that you were inspired by my drapery video to change up your curtains!!! 🤩🤩 Who knew curtains could make a HUGE impact in your space?!? 😆 I hope you are signed up for the Dezign Club because this won't be the last time I talk about small spaces tips!!! PLUS, I am going to host LIVE Q&As, AND a community board so you can post photos of your space and receive advice from ME and other viewers in this AWESOME FAM!!! 🙌🏼💜 If you aren't yet, make sure you are signed up here www.lisaholt.com/thedezignclub and you'll be notified when it launches THIS SUMMER!!! ☀️😎💚 YIPPEE!!! 👏🏼👏🏼 Thank you so much for watching Gail, I always love seeing you in the comments!! 😘💖💖

Awww Tyler thank you - this is so sweet!! 🥰💙 I actually AM teaching courses on my brand new Dezign Club launching this summer!! 💚👏🏻 I'm sure you're getting PLENTY of the design world at school, but we WILL have lots of cute quizzes, blog posts, and more if you're looking for a fun study break!! 😉🧡 Sign up at www.lisaholt.com/thedezignclub if this sounds fun - I think you might love it!! 💕😋
That vertical storage idea is genius. I love these tips. I would love for you to do a video on tips for tiny bathrooms. (Not Powder rooms) I'm doing a remodel and I would really love any tips and tricks you have to suggest.
Ooh Chevy!!! 🤩🤩 Bathrooms are a GREAT idea for the next part of my small spaces series...I'll totally jot that down!!!! 💕📝 I LOVE hearing what you guys want more of from this channel...thank you so much for the suggestion!! 🥰💙
I’m in Australia, and the very light window treatments would make rooms even more sauna like, specially for those of use without aircon. However I do love the way they look.
OMG Right Melise?? 💕👏🏻 SUCH a delicious piece!! 🤩🤩 SO glad I could introduce you guys to some of these FABULOUS looks...so much design in so little space right?? 💚😂 Thank you SO much for tuning in and supporting my channel - you guys are the best!! 😘😘
Ms Lisa, it is such a relevant subject for people who have to downsize these days for millions reasons ...retirement, different state of matrimony, empty nesters, lost of jobs (moving cities), and so on! You are so generous and kind for sharing those AMAZing tips! We may know them but to hear them out loud and from YOU, a PRO, we feel guided and reassured! The best event would be that people share with you (as a gesture of gratitude) pictures of ¨before & after¨. I will...when it comes! So eager to see your next video....you spoil us! Take good care of yourself , thank you for your smiles and joie de vivre!!! :))
Aww Helene!! 🥰💕 You guys have been asking for another small spaces video...I KNEW I couldn't let you down!! 🤩🤩 I'm absolutely LOVING the idea of a sort of before and after session - I'll have to start thinking about what that would look like!! 🌟 Anyways, this is just the SWEETEST comment...you guys never fail to make me smile with all of the support and love you send me!! 💙 I am SO lucky to have such an amazing channel fam!!

Hi Lisa! you said in another vid, you could use color for everything, the walls, ceilings, and floor. I'm looking at a deep plum, almost brown for a tiny bedroom, hall, and bathroom I want keep cooler. I don't want white or white-adjacent. Your channel is inforative and inspiring
Hi Lisa,just came on board,Thank you for your knowledge.I’m 60 & newly retired.You are so much fun, I just love you & your personality ,keep me learning kiddo. Cuddles from Canada 😊🌸🌺🧘♀️🇬🇧🇨🇦M

Sara!!! 👏🏻🤩 SO glad I could cover a topic you love!! 💚 You guys asked for more small spaces tips...here's my answer!! 😆💕 I love hearing that I can help you guys with your real life design dilemmas...thank you so much for this super sweet comment!! 💙😘
I took down custom panels from our music room and my office, which are adjacent to each other, divided by the foyer. I took them down to have them dry cleaned. Now I'm thinking of not rehanging them!
OMG Emily!!! 🤔🤔 You could definitely give it a few days to see if you like your space more without them!! 💙🌟 You never know! 🤩 SO much of learning interior design is about trial and error - you got this!! 🥰👏🏻
Love the look of the platform bed. However I find under the bed a magnificent space for storage. You can even make the bed slightly higher to have more space underneath for storage boxes.
Thanks Lisa for sharing the magic formula when hanging art. Now need the magic formula for how much wider than a table lamp at its widest a shade looks best at. Loved your small spaces tips, rugs and all.
Soper!! YAYAY this means so so much to me!!! 🥰❤️ I LOVE tuning in with you guys on Saturday mornings, it makes my weekend spending it with you guys!!! 🤩 Thank you so much for always showing love and for watching!!! 🌟💖🤗
Omg. Thank you SO much for addressing small space challenges, Lisa! I feel heard. I have many challenges to think about in my small home and one is maintaining my style while keeping the space cozy and inviting; I want a cozy and decadent museum. LOL! I love jewel tones and color-saturated, just about anything. And I'd been looking for a large rug for the living room and discovered pictorial rugs! Now I'm concerned that a jewel-toned couch will compete with the pictorial rug (which is a statement), and I'm having a hard time compromising color. Danggit, I don't want a neutral rug or couch! But I'd be willing to keep the walls and curtains light. Anyway, this video was excellent. Keep 'em coming, I always look forward to it!
OMG P!!! You guys ask, and I deliver!! 😘💙 I absolutely love the sound of your space - it can be SO tough to figure out how to make your personal style work when you have space limitations!! 💚👏🏻 Sounds like you're absolutely nailing it - keep up the good work!! Gold star!!🌟🌟
You are looking so svelte and glam in this video!! As always, love your videos! We live in a townhouse so it is very applicable. Admittedly, I am still figuring out where I am going to incorporate the amazing cement tiles from the finishes video! ;)
OMG R!! You are just TOO sweet...I LOVE filming and having an excuse to get all dressed up!! 😆💚 It's good practice after this year of lockdowns!! 😂😂 SO glad you've been finding these videos useful...helping you guys out with your spaces is just my absolute FAV thing to do! 😘 Thank you so much for tuning in and supporting my channel - I LOVE my channel fam!! 🥰💙
Lisa you are a excellent teacher you should be living in all the neighborhoods across the world just think having you once in life time inside our homes so much to learn from you thank you most of all for your sense of humor it helps 😂❤
OMG yay Charlotte!! 🤩💕 That is my absolute FAVORITE thing to hear in these comments...I love helping you guys with your projects!! 🥰🥰 Thank you SO much for this super sweet comment, and congrats on your new place!! 😘💚
I love your channel and your tips are super helpful. I'd love to see a video about tiny spaces rather than small spaces. I am in Europe and from these videos I think what is considered a small space in US is just normal over here. I'd love to have more tips on how to come up with storage in clever ways while also having that visual space you are really pushed. Love the tips about lighting. I've just had spotlights installed in my bathroom and it makes such a difference in that space!
Hannimal!! 🤩🤩 This is a great idea - I'll totally add it to my list! 💚🌟 I totally know what you mean about Europe - I've lived in a few of those tiny apartments myself!! 😂😂 I LOVE doing videos that my international fam will find helpful - thank you SO much for this fabulous suggestion!! 💕🥰
Whew! I have shelves to the ceiling. Mirror to expand natural light, sconces, and an area rug to meld with the floor color. The only thing I was struggling with was to run the rug to the wall or allow space.
Oooh L this space sounds FABULOUS!!! 💕👏🏻 Way to go!! 😍The rug tip is definitely one of the trickier ones I go over in this video...so glad I could share at least one new piece of info with you!! 💙😉 I LOVE hearing about you guys' homes in these comments - thank you SO much for tuning in and supporting my channel!! 🥰🥰

I took a tiny bathroom that had white walls, and painted it midnight blue. Replaced the cream colored console and white sink with a small brown wood console with a granite top and a matching brown glass sink sitting on top. Replaced the medicine cabinet with an interesting framed mirror, and furnished the room with bright yellow towels. The room looks almost twice its size. Neighbors who have the same guest bathroom always ask how I expanded my guest bathroom. So sometimes the darker, richer tones opposite in wall color for small spaces works better than light tones.
Totally Carole!! 🤩💙 The most important thing is being mindful of your lighting and preserving that ENVELOPE!!! 👏🏻👏🏻 Sounds like you NAILED this bathroom...what a fabulous space!! 😍 Thank you SO much for making this point - you guys don't miss a beat!! 🌟🌟

OMG yay Deft!!! 🥳💕 You'd be SHOCKED to see what a difference having the right sized rug makes...it really opens your space right up!! 🤩🤩 SO glad I could share a few useful tricks - thank YOU for always being such a positive part of my channel fam!! 💙 You guys are the best! 💚🥰
Condo apartments are getting smaller and smaller, but furniture manufacturers are slow to follow the trend. I lived for years with a loveseat while dreaming of a couch I could stretch out on. I recently found a Canadian manufacturer that now makes a condo sized sofa, which is about midway between a two and three seater sofa, but having only one choice is limiting, although they do offer some options in firmness and leg and arm style, and fabric, of course. I still live without a coffee table though since I can’t find one narrow enough (about 12 in.) to fit the space. A sofa table, but coffee table height would be perfect ... I need a skill saw. I love your channel. Thanks a bunch for sharing your knowledge.
Oooh Dani what a find! 👏🏻👏🏻 I tottallly feel this...it would be SO much easier to find furniture in the right scale if companies were manufacturing more of it!! 💚😂 SO glad you found a solution that works for you, and so glad that these videos have been helpful!! 🌟🌟 I LOVE my channel fam - thank you so much for this sweet comment!! 💕🥰
You've asked for it, everybody! These are the BIGGEST mistakes I am seeing in small spaces, that no one knows how to fix! I'm sharing my DESIGNER HACKS for small spaces and I just KNOW you'll find some helpful info in this video!! 🔥🥰😍 Comment below and tell me about YOUR biggest mistake and how you'll fix it!! 👇🏻👇🏻
Such a fun video!! We live in a 400 sq ft home and definitely use a lot of your suggestions!!
It's how to fold blankets with little storage i to faux pillows! _:) genius!
Hey Lisa :3
Here’s an idea.... How do you incorporate aquariums into a space and still unify the space? I need help with an upcoming project! 😂
Can we talk about ceiling options that aren't flat and some permutation of white? I love bold ceilings, but there's a fine line between dramatic statement and gimmick.
@@951000jerome Purpose built furniture and generously sized aquariums. If you do a console with a top that's the same size as the tank, it won't look like you just plopped the tank onto a table and said, "Good enough." You can also build niches, or half walls to put the tanks on, so they seem less random. Sizing the tanks so that they're a feature rather than an afterthought is a good idea too. Like, if you're going to have an aquarium, it should be roughly the same size as, or larger than, a television that you would use in the same room. Dinky tanks, like the ones you see lining the walls of pet stores are always ugly. If you're going to do it, make it a feature.
I mean…. Most of the visual examples of “tiny spaces” that look great are actually gigantic…. 😅
I thought that too.
Not to mention that the solutions are just to replace all of your stuff. Ummm...if I could afford that, I’d buy a bigger place not smaller stuff.
Right. We have a queen sized waterbed and a chest of drawers in a 9x9 bedroom. If you need a queen sized bed and only have a 9x9 bedroom, I mean--that's it.
@Kami R. It’s disappointing, isn’t it?
Right. I'd love for her to come into my 1922 1080sqf 3bd 1ba home with 5 people living here and make this small crappy space work and look great 😂.
Tiny rugs make it look like the coffee table is on a life raft about to float away.
LOL Candace!! You nailed it!! 😂💜 Now I can't unsee it...someone tie it to something before it gets swept out to sea!! 😆😆💕
@@LisaHoltDesign We tried changing the orientation of our living room rug, which put a chair right at the edge. It gave the same impression--that the chair was in danger of falling of the edge of the raft!!
Yes, it makes me think that the coffee table went outside, got its feet dirty and needs to wipe them off.
@@MyFocusVaries 🤣👍🏼
🤣😂🤣😂
One thing I’ve found helpful: put an accent light in the farthest point of the room. It makes your eye look at that furthest-away corner, making the room feel larger. It can be a tiny lamp on an accent table or a picture lamp above some art.
Oooh J that's such a cool idea!! 🤩👏🏻👏🏻 Lighting has a HUGE impact on how big or small a space feels...truly one of the MOST important things to think about when designing any room!! 💙🌟 Thank you so much for sharing this little hack - I learn SO much in these comments!! 💚🥰
One of the reasons I keep my “Christmas” tree up in that corner. I like the light it gives off and every holiday has been represented. It’s one of those tall thin trees so it doesn’t take up much room behind that chair....will probably remove when the lights burn out.
@@marylhere sure. Or just a string of those little fairy lights on a houseplant. I totally get it.
the light blows out the corner
Yes! That’s what I did to our house too. I imagined islands on various points of the room, as a sort of visual interest. A tall open shelf, my sofa, my work desk.
I realized three of those form a triangle that just anchors the place. The power of three. I made sure to put the lights of my room only on those three places at varying heights. BOOM, it’s like magic.
Lisa Holt is so cute with such a friendly, warm energy. Plus, she knows her stuff and she's very generous with the amount of information she shares. 👍You rock Lisa!😘
Aww M!! 💕🥰 You guys are just TOO good to me in these comments...this is so kind!!! 🤩🤩 I absolutely LOVE making these videos for you guys - I'm so glad you guys can feel the good vibes!! 😘 Thank you SO so much for leaving such a sweet comment - it really does mean the world!! 🌍🧡
Lisa’s definition of tiny is a heck of a lot bigger than what I’d call tiny!
Tiny space =1,000 sq. ft. or less.
My entire two-story two-bedroom house isn't even that big.
This is definitely a North American definition of tiny! The rules still apply, but those rooms are large by European standards!
The only disagreement I have is the bed. Platform beds are extremely popular but a bed lifted off the floor I have found to be best. Having real storage space that can be covered by a bed skirt or just a big comforter is fantastic!
You're totally right - it all depends on what works for you! 👏🏻💕 People have SUCH different preferences when it comes to storage solutions...definitely one of those things that comes down to individual preference!! 💙🌟 LOVE that you know exactly what you like - thank you so much for sharing your approach!! 💚🥰
I would SO hurt my legs or feet trying to navigate around that platform bed. But its beautiful.
I would love to see more “mistake” photos, and then “success” photos, not just one example of each. Pictures are much better than descriptions, and repeated photos of right and wrong decorating train our eyes to recognize right and wrong in our own house.😊
OMG this is great feedback!! 💚😍 I'm always looking for tips on how to make these videos more helpful for you guys...getting comments like these makes life SO much easier!!! 💕👏🏻 I will 100% jot this down! Thank you so much for the suggestion! 🥰🌟
Just had the pleasure to watch an older video... 🙋♀️ With your sharp aesthetics, i would love to see a 'wrong' room before and after.... Ideally using elements that are already there as a base for the change, as that is the way most of us "work" with our stuff at home.... And so often it is small changes that makes a great difference.... 💐
Lisa is perfect as is, seeing more "mistakes" would take up valuable time to show the fab "solutions"
I don't need mistake examples -- I've plenty of my own, all around me.
When I purchased my small condo 12 years ago it was very Tuscan inspired with deep gold painted walls and rust doors and trim, pretty, but soon - pretty depressing! ( North facing northern home - so basically no light) Fortunately ( 😭😂😭) I had a flood from my neighbour above me so took the opportunity to paint everything bright white. Same colour, different finishes for trim & doors, walls and bath & kitchen. Wow. It feels like I doubled my space. Happened 2 years ago and it still feels fresh and open.
OMG Barbara!!! What a crazy story - I'm so glad it worked out!! 💚👏🏻 Switching up your color really does make a crazy difference...seems like it was meant to be!! 💜😆 Hopefully I can pass on one or two new tips in this vid...I think you're going to love it!! 🥰🌟
@@LisaHoltDesign The point I forgot to mention is that I discovered your channel when I needed help deciding what to do. You 🥰helped me figure out which direction I needed to take and I have been so thankful ever since. 🥰❤️👏
OMG, Lisa! An idea maybe.
A series where you revisit iconic shows from the 80s, 90s, early 00s, and discuss how the set homes would look like if they were designed today, but still keep their personalities.
Examples of shows could be The Nanny, Friends, Golden Girls!!! I’m pretty sure the home in Golden Girls looked beautiful back in the day.
Angel!!! YES!!! 👏🏼 A TON of you guys actually suggested doing deep dives of other tv show sets when I did the Bridgerton video!! But doing a take on what they would look like now... What a FUN twist to it!!! 😝 Definitely on my list of video ideas!!! 😉📝 Thank you so much for the suggestion and for always supporting the channel!!! 😘🌟💖
We recently bought a bed that behind the bed head you can hide cushions and phones/books etc. so no need for side tables. It's perfect because all we can fit is our king bed and cot. 💚
OMG Tessa I love this!! 🤩💕 Talk about storage solutions - way to GO!! 👏🏻👏🏻 I'm so excited to hear how you guys handle your OWN small spaces...I learn sooooo much in these comments! 💚🥰Thank you so much for sharing, and thank you for tuning in this week!! 😘
What if you have small spaces that you don't feel the need to make look bigger? I love the small rooms in my house and prefer the cosy look rather than light and airy. I don't need the space to feel bigger. Bigger isn't always better. However I would still love design tips for these spaces.
Your energy and exuberance would make me watch your videos even if you were talking about slug slime or ear wax.
OMG Michele!!! 🤣🤣 Maybe I should start talking about that in my videos... JK!!! 😂👏🏼 Thank you so much for watching and allowing me to be part of your Saturday morning!!! 🙈🥰❤️
I would love a video on narrow spaces, specifically row homes!
Oooh Zubda!! 💕👏🏻 Narrow and awkward spaces are TOTALLY on my list...we all have one or two of them!!! 😆🧡 Thank you SO much for the suggestion - I love hearing what you guys want more of on this channel! 🤩💙 And thank you SO much for watching! You guys rock!! 😘😘
@@LisaHoltDesign I live in Greater New Orleans. If you can include anything for shotgun-style homes, the Gulf Coast will thank you! Narrow and one after the other. Vistas don't always exist!!
Idk why do people that don't live in small spaves always think that people who do always have one and the same goal - make it look bigger? I've got a small space, it's dark, moody and oriental - my own lil opium den. I never feel so cosy visiting anyone else's white and cream spaces 🤷♀️
People have stuff, sometimes a lot of it. Keeping small space organized and decluttered was always a problem for me, especially in the clothes storage department or keeping kitchen worktop neat.. No matter how cosy or visually attractive the space was a priority for me was not to feel stressed and overwhelmed by stuff.
I totally see your point. Sometimes a little cozy nook is all you want in your space. I try to make my home office space feel larger, but I don't with my bedroom, because I want it to feel more snuggly.
@@leoprg5330 bins and baskets are my best friend. They hade things and make it look organized
Girl, trust when I say-I see you.
I too have always had the living space aesthetic goal of my own little opium den that's dark and moody but like one for disillusioned 18th/19th century sailors in New England somewhere.
The best thing is, this advice also applies to medium and large spaces (the rugs!!!)! --- You are a rock to rely on!
Totally L!!! 💙👏🏻 Getting rid of those tiny rugs never hurts!! 😂😂 SO glad I could share a few of my favorite tips - thank you so much for coming out and supporting my channel this AM!! 😘💚

@@LisaHoltDesign ❤️
You pointed to a ceiling pendant as ambient lighting. I have always referred to ambient light more as mood lighting - lamps, sconces, floor lamps, all on dimmers. I never thought of it as overhead.
BLESS YOU! I am in a small home and the first thing I did was ditch the window treatments.
YES Carolyn!!! 🤩🤩 Great instincts!!! 💕👏🏻 SO glad I could cover a topic that you LOVE - I'm always so excited to hear that you guys are finding these videos helpful!! 💚 Thanks for tuning in for another week of Saturday design fun - you guys are the best!!! 😘💙
I had to rewind the lighting segment five times because it’s my favorite 🤩. I have lived several small places over the years and proper lighting was always my Achilles heel - really needed these tips!
OMG Marnie!!! 💕 Lighting is SUCH a challenge, especially in small spaces!! You are NOT alone!! 💙😂 So glad I could pass on a few of my favorite tips...thank you SO much for joining me for another design brunch!! 😘😘
Layered....lighting. Never knew of such concept.

this episode reminds me of those RV’s with innovative storage ideas.
OMG Lori!!! 💕💕 Those tiny homes are SO impressive...if only we could all be so efficient with our space!! 💙😂 LOVE this comment - you guys don't miss a thing!!! 🤩💚👏🏻

Did this with the outdoor rug I ordered. Our deck isn't huge, but I wanted a rug to define the sitting area, so picked up the west elm outdoor rug you mentioned in a previous video as it's close to the stain colour of the wood. This way it doesn't dominate or create sharp lines. The best analogy would be when I get a fade in my haircut to make it blend nicer along the sides.
C!! Love that analogy, and LOVE this approach!! 🤩👏🏻 Grouping your furniture for conversation but not breaking up your space...sounds like you NAILED it!! 💜😍 I LOVE hearing about you guys' projects...thank you so much for tuning in today!! 🥰💚
Oooh! 🤗 My daughter moved into a little apartment...it’s so cute!!! 🤗 I know that this video will inspire us in many ways. 🙌🏻🤗💕
OMG CM what perfect timing!!! 🤩👏🏻 Those little apartments can be just SO cute...I know you're are going to NAIL it!!! 💜 SO excited to share these tips with you AND your daughter - let me know what you guys think!! 💚😘
Sorry I can’t make it to the premiere today but will be watching even though my space isn’t really small. Lisa’s tips are always universal and there’s something for everyone in each video, no matter the topic.
Hello Carolina!!! Living with dogs makes every space seem tiny, though, doesn't it? Have a superlovely weekend!!!!♥
@@sandragrecki6283 yes!! Specially large ones 😂. You have a good one too Sandra!! See you next week
Ya know, I'd love a vid about pesky issues like cable management. I noticed you said to paint the cables, but are there other recommendations? Also for things like hiding kitchen appliances, t.v., etc.
Great question, I'm wondering this as well :)
Exactly what I needed!
Speaking of mistakes, I wonder if you could share in a future video tips for resolving some design mistakes within a budget. For example, one bought the wrong colour for a sofa, scandi style ruined. What do we do now?
Oooh Claudia I love this!! 💕👏🏻 Quick fixes on a budget!! I'll 100% add this to my topic list...you guys have so many good ideas!! 📝🤓 Love that I could cover a topic you were wondering about...hope this was a useful vid!! 😘💜
Re-upholster, use blankets and horns to mask with oversized cushions, or get a fitted cover? i had this in an old rental and a bright green Klippan sofa that had to stay.... (!)
I like your new intros that list the highlights; it lets me know what I’m in for and when to really perk up and listen - because I want all those tips! 🤗 Thanks for sharing.
Oooh I'm SO glad to hear this!!! 👏🏼💜 I love switching things up in my videos sometimes - even as little as making the highlights of the video at the beginning!!! 😝 Thank you so much for watching and your feedback - I ALWAYS love hearing what you guys have to say!!! 🥰🌟❤️
agreed!
I'm so glad I live in the country, way off the road. I have beautiful windows with black walnut trim. To cover them up would be criminal
OMG J!!! 🤯 These windows sound absolutely DREAMY - lucky you!! 💕🤩 SO cool that you live in a place where you can display them...this sounds like an absolutely delicious space!! 💙 Thanks so much for tuning in and supporting my channel this AM!! You guys are the BEST!!! 🥰🥰
I'm a moody maximalist and much prefer to lean into the cosiness of a space with darker colours but lots of mirrors. Each to their own!
Fiona!! I totally hear you!! 👏🏼 This video was just to help maximize the small space you have, as well as how to make your space feel BIGGER!! You can totally design your space the way that fits your fave style the BEST!! 🤗💜 And the use of mirrors in your space is an amazing way to help open that up with the darker colors involved! 🙌🏼 Thank you SO much for your input on this, I LOVE hearing what everyone has to say!!! 🥰❤️
"Sneak-a-doo"!! I love it. The shelf over the door reminds me of the formal libraries homes and bookstores. Forgot that option> I love it
LOL Laurie!!! Don't worry - not all of these looks are for everyone!!! 💙😘 Such a funny comparison...I totally see it now that you've pointed it out! 😂😂 So glad you could find one or two pieces of advice that DO work for you....thank you so much for watching!! 💕🥰

Awww S this is so sweet!!! 💕 Making these videos feels like chatting with friends...I love my channel fam!! 😘😘 Thank you SO much for making my day with this super sweet comment - it really does mean the world!! 🥰🌍
I vent w eggshell blue velvet draperies in my bedroom bc soft blue-green is that room’s accent to cream->sand + varm oak, and I needed something to block the Nordic summer sun (which rises at 4am 😬). The rest of the time they’re just a vertical dab of soft colour, no other window treatment.
I went for a similar solution in my small, fairly dark dining room - white on white cotton print drapes that can be pulled out for privacy - like when away from home - and strictly neutral strips of fake frosted glass. There is still light through, no privacy issue, no feel of bulk and the pure frosted look adds to the scandi (somewhat) strictness of my home. No other treatments, and the dining room has a full glass wall to the private atrium/courtyard.
Darn, I just missed the live party!
This was just jammed packed with valuable information. So good 🍒
Aww Deborah!! That's ok - we missed you!! 💜😘 SO glad I could pass on a couple of useful tips...there's just SO much you can do to maximize a small space! 👏🏻👏🏻 Thank you SO much for always being such a fun part of my channel fam - you guys rock!! 🌟💙
I don’t know if you read comments, but I have yet to see any interior designers do a video on how to blend your living room with your dining room when they are essentially both in one big room but have for example, allowance for different hanging light fixtures, and in my case, are essentially divided by a walking space of about 5-6 feet that lead to French doors to the backyard. Please, please, please do a video of what works and what doesn’t when they are combined! Should rugs match? In what way? No rug under dining room table? Seriously confused. Thank you for all the ideas you have been sharing! You’re the best!
OMG Lida!!! 💕🤩 This might be a PERFECT question to cover in an upcoming Q&A video!! 👏🏻👏🏻 Blending two spaces in an open concept house can DEFINITELY be a challenge...and it's something designers run into ALL the time!! 😆 Do you mind sending this question to my Q&A box at www.lisaholt.com/q-a-submission? 💙 I'll do my best to get back to you over there, and I might even feature this question in a video!! 🧡😍
Thanks, Lisa as always! Use of vertical space up to the top of the wall ---where wall edge meets the ceiling edge -----always makes the space look larger-----example ------bookcases ----the trick is to have well curated objects on the shelves so it is not a clutter receptical.
Totally Ann - LOVE this tip!! 💕🌟 SO important to take advantage of ALL of the space you have...that totally includes vertical!! 👏🏻👏🏻 Thank you SO much for sharing what works for you - these comments are a GOLD MINE of information!! 💎🤩
Lisa's videos are ALWAYS informative, among other things, but this one really tops them all. I went to a very good design school but they never gave us specific, factual information like today's video does. I can see how helpful this information would be for someone who is trying to decorate their home without the help of a designer. Yes, scale and function are everything, no matter what: it has to serve a purpose for being there and it has to fit properly. Bravo!
Awww Silvi this is just the BEST comment!!! 🤩👏🏻 I LOVE sharing these little design tips with my entire channel fam...design should be for EVERYONE right??? 🌟🌟 This means SO much coming from a fellow designer - thank you so much for the kind words!! 💚😘
So excited to be here live, again! 😁
YAY Liz!!!! 👏🏻🤩 Same here...these premiers are always the highlight of my week!! 🥰🥰 So glad we could all hang out for another week of design brunch - you guys are the best!! 💚😘
Your videos are my number one inspiration! I think I did well in my 45 sqmeters when it comes to vertical space, furniture, window decorations and definitely with lighting! I opted for a round carpet in my living room since it’s not possible for me to clearly separate lounging and dining space, so to avoid „floating coffee table” effect, I chose that. I have white wall panels on one navy wall in my bedroom but it was so beautiful I could not resist 🤷🏻♀️ But everything else in the room is either white or light gold, so that little navy accent is just adding the character I think :) But I think I’ll add a mirror somewhere in that room - that will definitely make this 9 square meters room bigger!
Ooooh Kat - I think you're 100% nailing it!!! 🤩🤩 This space sounds absolutely AMAZING...way to go!!! 💚👏🏻 I DEFINITELY think adding a mirror will just be the cherry on top - good luck, and let me know how it goes!!! 😘😘💕
Such great advice Lisa! We're in a small rental home while our new house is under construction. There is not much kitchen storage but I managed to turn a coat rack attached to 6 x 2 foot wood planks into open storage by placing a two foot wide wire shelf unit in front of it. The coat hooks now hold pots and kitchen towels and the wire shelving underneath holds bail jars for spices and dry goods. I'd post a pic of I could, I think it looks really great ^_^
OMG Phyllis I love this!! SUCH a creative solution!! 🤩🤩 Way to GO making your space work for you...I love getting the updates on these projects!! 🥰💙 I can't WAIT to hear what you do with your brand new home...keep up the good work!! 👏🏻👏🏻💕
I have a mid century teak coffee table that lifts up, has two pull out leaves and becomes a dining table for six. My favorite piece of furniture ever. Hope a manufacturer will read this and make new ones. 🤔😉
A mirror under a plant helps boost the light the plant is getting. It is not much but every little bit helps in the winter.
OMG Linda!! 💕 Talk about maximizing space - what a fabulous piece!!! 👏🏻👏🏻 AND I love your mirrors tip...aren't they useful?🌟🌟 I learn SO much in these comments - thank you SO much for watching and sharing some of your tricks!! 😉💚

Lisa I found that cute coffee table that you showed on your video! The one that opens up with two levels. It was on Costco online here in Canada! Woot woot! 💃🏻💃🏻💃🏻
Lisa, I do love you, your energy and how generous you are sharing all that knowledge. However, one thing bugs me a bit. Where I live (central Stockholm, Sweden) a small space is not a bedroom where you can fit both a double bed and a daybed. You are considered lucky if you can fit a king size, 2 side tables and move around it 😃. I would love to see more ideas on how to make furniture work for multiple purposes. We will continue working from home well into fall here and most of us need to make do with what we have and can modify.
It's tiny by American standards (particularly with a family). But I would also be interested in a video about multipurpose rooms or furniture.
As always super energetic and inspirational. Love it. Hello from London 😘
Max!!! Thank you so much for this sweet comment!! 🤗 And OMG, I miss London SO MUCH!!! I wish I could be there now!! 🥺💕 Sending love to London!! 🇬🇧🥰❤️
@@LisaHoltDesign 🙏🏼❤️😘
the Rugs Tip is the best tip. tiny rugs are good in entry ways to trip up your guests. or good in the kitchen to catch the over flow to the floor. or good outside your back door to wipe your feet before returning from the garden or balcony.
LOL Rix!!! 😆💜 Tiny rugs can definitely become a hazard, both to you AND to your style!! You have NO idea how often I see this issue in absolutely BEAUTIFUL spaces - such a simple fix!!! 💕😂 Anyways, no tiny rugs in MY channel fam - I know you guys can do so much better!! 😘😘
Thanks Lisa, I'm in a small flat so all the content is pretty much aimed at me. I recently changed my teal velvet curtains for floor length sheer white ones, thanks for the drapery video.

Hello
Love your videos! ❤️ I’m going to school for interior design and I wish you taught a course!
Awww Tyler thank you - this is so sweet!! 🥰💙 I actually AM teaching courses on my brand new Dezign Club launching this summer!! 💚👏🏻 I'm sure you're getting PLENTY of the design world at school, but we WILL have lots of cute quizzes, blog posts, and more if you're looking for a fun study break!! 😉🧡 Sign up at www.lisaholt.com/thedezignclub if this sounds fun - I think you might love it!! 💕😋
That vertical storage idea is genius. I love these tips. I would love for you to do a video on tips for tiny bathrooms. (Not Powder rooms) I'm doing a remodel and I would really love any tips and tricks you have to suggest.
Ooh Chevy!!! 🤩🤩 Bathrooms are a GREAT idea for the next part of my small spaces series...I'll totally jot that down!!!! 💕📝 I LOVE hearing what you guys want more of from this channel...thank you so much for the suggestion!! 🥰💙
I’m in Australia, and the very light window treatments would make rooms even more sauna like, specially for those of use without aircon. However I do love the way they look.
The tonal rug!!! Game changer!!!
OMG Right Melise?? 💕👏🏻 SUCH a delicious piece!! 🤩🤩 SO glad I could introduce you guys to some of these FABULOUS looks...so much design in so little space right?? 💚😂 Thank you SO much for tuning in and supporting my channel - you guys are the best!! 😘😘
Ms Lisa, it is such a relevant subject for people who have to downsize these days for millions reasons ...retirement, different state of matrimony, empty nesters, lost of jobs (moving cities), and so on! You are so generous and kind for sharing those AMAZing tips! We may know them but to hear them out loud and from YOU, a PRO, we feel guided and reassured! The best event would be that people share with you (as a gesture of gratitude) pictures of ¨before & after¨. I will...when it comes! So eager to see your next video....you spoil us! Take good care of yourself , thank you for your smiles and joie de vivre!!! :))
Aww Helene!! 🥰💕 You guys have been asking for another small spaces video...I KNEW I couldn't let you down!! 🤩🤩 I'm absolutely LOVING the idea of a sort of before and after session - I'll have to start thinking about what that would look like!! 🌟 Anyways, this is just the SWEETEST comment...you guys never fail to make me smile with all of the support and love you send me!! 💙 I am SO lucky to have such an amazing channel fam!! Thank you so much for the kind words!!! 😘💚

Hi Lisa! you said in another vid, you could use color for everything, the walls, ceilings, and floor. I'm looking at a deep plum, almost brown for a tiny bedroom, hall, and bathroom I want keep cooler. I don't want white or white-adjacent. Your channel is inforative and inspiring

My goodness, your know your stuff! Especially your comments regarding lighting.
I got you guys with the BEST lighting solutions!!! 😉👏🏼 SO glad you enjoyed these tips, thank you so much for watching!!! 💗✨
I took down custom panels from our music room and my office, which are adjacent to each other, divided by the foyer. I took them down to have them dry cleaned.
Now I'm thinking of not rehanging them!
OMG Emily!!! 🤔🤔 You could definitely give it a few days to see if you like your space more without them!! 💙🌟 You never know! 🤩 SO much of learning interior design is about trial and error - you got this!! 🥰👏🏻
Lisa this was so good I had to watch it twice!!❤️
Randy!! LOVE to hear it!! 👏🏼🧡 Thank you so much for watching and all the support!! 🥰🥰
Great tips. My office is small!!I have been thinking about putting down a rug for 2 months.Wasnt sure what color. Now I know .😊
I'm watching this because I have a 12ft ceiling and a tiny floor space in my lounge area! Great vids!
Love the look of the platform bed. However I find under the bed a magnificent space for storage. You can even make the bed slightly higher to have more space underneath for storage boxes.
Thanks Lisa for sharing the magic formula when hanging art. Now need the magic formula for how much wider than a table lamp at its widest a shade looks best at. Loved your small spaces tips, rugs and all.
I look forward to your videos every weekend! Thank you, Lisa, for your informative, entertaining content! Have a great week!
Soper!! YAYAY this means so so much to me!!! 🥰❤️ I LOVE tuning in with you guys on Saturday mornings, it makes my weekend spending it with you guys!!! 🤩 Thank you so much for always showing love and for watching!!! 🌟💖🤗
Omg. Thank you SO much for addressing small space challenges, Lisa! I feel heard. I have many challenges to think about in my small home and one is maintaining my style while keeping the space cozy and inviting; I want a cozy and decadent museum. LOL! I love jewel tones and color-saturated, just about anything. And I'd been looking for a large rug for the living room and discovered pictorial rugs! Now I'm concerned that a jewel-toned couch will compete with the pictorial rug (which is a statement), and I'm having a hard time compromising color. Danggit, I don't want a neutral rug or couch! But I'd be willing to keep the walls and curtains light. Anyway, this video was excellent. Keep 'em coming, I always look forward to it!
OMG P!!! You guys ask, and I deliver!! 😘💙 I absolutely love the sound of your space - it can be SO tough to figure out how to make your personal style work when you have space limitations!! 💚👏🏻 Sounds like you're absolutely nailing it - keep up the good work!! Gold star!!🌟🌟
Got all excited about this episode and now I have to wait 18 hours
Not long now!! Hope you come join us for the premiere!!! ❤️❤️

You are looking so svelte and glam in this video!!
As always, love your videos! We live in a townhouse so it is very applicable. Admittedly, I am still figuring out where I am going to incorporate the amazing cement tiles from the finishes video! ;)
OMG R!! You are just TOO sweet...I LOVE filming and having an excuse to get all dressed up!! 😆💚 It's good practice after this year of lockdowns!! 😂😂 SO glad you've been finding these videos useful...helping you guys out with your spaces is just my absolute FAV thing to do! 😘 Thank you so much for tuning in and supporting my channel - I LOVE my channel fam!! 🥰💙

OMG yay Charlotte!! 🤩💕 That is my absolute FAVORITE thing to hear in these comments...I love helping you guys with your projects!! 🥰🥰 Thank you SO much for this super sweet comment, and congrats on your new place!! 😘💚
I love your channel and your tips are super helpful. I'd love to see a video about tiny spaces rather than small spaces. I am in Europe and from these videos I think what is considered a small space in US is just normal over here. I'd love to have more tips on how to come up with storage in clever ways while also having that visual space you are really pushed. Love the tips about lighting. I've just had spotlights installed in my bathroom and it makes such a difference in that space!
Hannimal!! 🤩🤩 This is a great idea - I'll totally add it to my list! 💚🌟 I totally know what you mean about Europe - I've lived in a few of those tiny apartments myself!! 😂😂 I LOVE doing videos that my international fam will find helpful - thank you SO much for this fabulous suggestion!! 💕🥰
Can’t wait. Making my tea now. 🤗
OMG Olive perfect!!! 💕👏🏻 Thanks for brunching with us!! 😋🍵
Whew! I have shelves to the ceiling. Mirror to expand natural light, sconces, and an area rug to meld with the floor color. The only thing I was struggling with was to run the rug to the wall or allow space.
Oooh L this space sounds FABULOUS!!! 💕👏🏻 Way to go!! 😍The rug tip is definitely one of the trickier ones I go over in this video...so glad I could share at least one new piece of info with you!! 💙😉 I LOVE hearing about you guys' homes in these comments - thank you SO much for tuning in and supporting my channel!! 🥰🥰
I enjoy your show so much and your happy energetic personality! !!!Thank you for another entertaining and informative video!!!!
Aww Meredith this is my FAVORITE thing to hear!!! 💕🥰 I LOVE making these videos for you guys...it's just an absolute BLAST for me!! 💚💚 Hearing that I can share some of the fun always makes my day - thank you SO much for this super sweet comment!! 🤩💙
Great advice! You are looking so physically fit these days Lisa- you look marvelous!
OMG Lynn!!! 😋😋 You are just TOO sweet - I've been trying to get back into my healthy habits after being all cooped up for a year!!! 💚😆 I am always SO amazed by all of the support you guys give me - thank you so much!!! 🥰 It really does mean the world!! 💕🌎
Storage! I have 2 kids under three...KEY! Great video Lisa!!!
OMG Bobby!!! 2 toddlers? 🤯 You're a superhero!! 💕👏🏻👏🏻 Just wait until they get old enough to shop on their own...storage, storage, storage!!! 💙😂 Keep an eye out for a video on kid friendly design coming soon - thanks for tuning in this week!! 😘😘
@@LisaHoltDesign oh baby!!! No pun intended...I NEED that video!!!! Looking forward to it!❤️
I took a tiny bathroom that had white walls, and painted it midnight blue. Replaced the cream colored console and white sink with a small brown wood console with a granite top and a matching brown glass sink sitting on top. Replaced the medicine cabinet with an interesting framed mirror, and furnished the room with bright yellow towels. The room looks almost twice its size. Neighbors who have the same guest bathroom always ask how I expanded my guest bathroom. So sometimes the darker, richer tones opposite in wall color for small spaces works better than light tones.
Totally Carole!! 🤩💙 The most important thing is being mindful of your lighting and preserving that ENVELOPE!!! 👏🏻👏🏻 Sounds like you NAILED this bathroom...what a fabulous space!! 😍 Thank you SO much for making this point - you guys don't miss a beat!! 🌟🌟
Great advices ! You are the best! Thank you so much for all your help. I followed your advice and everything looks extraordinary. 🥰🥂
OMG Adina I absolutely LOVE hearing that!! 💙🥰 I'm always so excited to hear that these videos are helping you guys on your real life projects - that's exactly why I made this channel in the first place!!! 🤩👏🏻👏🏻 CONGRATS on your fabulous space - thank you so much for this super sweet comment!! 💕😘
Excellent Lisa. Thanks so much for posting. Also, I think large art work can make a place look bigger.
Yay D!!! 🥳🥳 Love this tip about art...it definitely depends on the space!! 👏🏻💚 LOVE that you're thinking about all of those details...thank you so much for this sweet comment!!!! 🥰💕
Love your pro tip regarding rugs in tiny spaces ♥️🙌
OMG yay Deft!!! 🥳💕 You'd be SHOCKED to see what a difference having the right sized rug makes...it really opens your space right up!! 🤩🤩 SO glad I could share a few useful tricks - thank YOU for always being such a positive part of my channel fam!! 💙 You guys are the best! 💚🥰
Condo apartments are getting smaller and smaller, but furniture manufacturers are slow to follow the trend. I lived for years with a loveseat while dreaming of a couch I could stretch out on. I recently found a Canadian manufacturer that now makes a condo sized sofa, which is about midway between a two and three seater sofa, but having only one choice is limiting, although they do offer some options in firmness and leg and arm style, and fabric, of course. I still live without a coffee table though since I can’t find one narrow enough (about 12 in.) to fit the space. A sofa table, but coffee table height would be perfect ... I need a skill saw. I love your channel. Thanks a bunch for sharing your knowledge.
Oooh Dani what a find! 👏🏻👏🏻 I tottallly feel this...it would be SO much easier to find furniture in the right scale if companies were manufacturing more of it!! 💚😂 SO glad you found a solution that works for you, and so glad that these videos have been helpful!! 🌟🌟 I LOVE my channel fam - thank you so much for this sweet comment!! 💕🥰
