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.
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!! 💚🥰
@@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!!
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!!! 😘🌟💖
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!!! 🙈🥰❤️
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.
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!!
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!! 😘💚
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!!! 😘💙
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!!! 😋💖😘
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.
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!!! 💚👏🏻
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.
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!! 😘
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!! 😘😘
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!!! 🥰❤️
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!!! 🥰🌟❤️
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!! 💚😘

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.... (!)
love her excitement in these videos u can tell she really loves what she does. thanks so much for the tips Lisa my new space is gonna have an upgrade !!💕
Jody!!! It's because of people like YOU that make me love what I dooo!!! 🥰 You guys make every so fun!! 😍💜 Thank you so much for this sweet comment, and CONGRATS on the new space!!! 🥳🙌🏼💖

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.
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!! 💚😘

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!! 😉💚
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.
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!! 💕🌎
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!! 💎🤩
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!! 🧡😍
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!!!! 🥰💕
LOL Jerri!! You KNOW I love happy hour!! 👏🏻👏🏻 Bar cart time!! 🤩🍸 This is just SUCH a sweet comment - thank you for making my day with these kind words!! 💕🥰
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!! 💚😘

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! 💃🏻💃🏻💃🏻
Aww Joan that is exactly what I'm always hoping to hear!!! 🤩👏🏻 I LOVE passing on my favorite design tips to you guys...that's why I made this channel!! 💙💕Comments like these always make my day - thank you so much for leaving me such kind words!! 💜🥰

@@LisaHoltDesign Thanks Lisa. I am a designer at heart and relate to all your offerings in design. I forget everything when I’m working on my mini design ideas and I’m really good with space but you help me take my ideas to new levels. Appreciate so much.🎉☀️
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!!! 😘😘💕
I’ve learned from both your videos on small space tips. I agreed with all your tips and will be following closely as I start to do up my new 2+1 study room condo which I just collected my keys. Thanks Lisa! 👏❤️😊👍🙏
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.
OMG yay Lisa!! 🤩💕 That is exactly what I LOVE hearing - I'm always so excited to help you guys out with these videos!! 💙🌟Thank you SO much for tuning in and being a part of my TH-cam family...and good luck with your project!!! 🥰💚

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!! 👏🏻👏🏻💕

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!!

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!!!

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!! 👇🏻👇🏻

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.

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 😂.
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!! 🌍🧡
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.
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 🤣👍🏼
🤣😂🤣😂
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. 🥰❤️👏
Hi Lisa and team. Still the best decorators in the USA.
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!!! 😘🌟💖
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!!! 🙈🥰❤️
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.
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!!
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!! 😘💚
I love this lady's natural enthusiasm. I'm glad that I have found the Lisa Holt Design channel.

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.
We would all love to have you with us when we’re making our design choices, but your videos are a close second. Thank you!!! 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
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!!! 💚👏🏻
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.
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!! 😘
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.
Me too
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!!! 🥰❤️
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!
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!! 💚😘
"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!! 💕🥰

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.... (!)

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 :)

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!
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!! 😉💚
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.
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!! 💕🌎

@@LisaHoltDesign 🙏🏼❤️😘
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!! 💎🤩
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!! 🧡😍
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!!!! 🥰💕
That shelf above the door is a great idea...I'm going to do that!

She’s adorable and has the best personality 💕✨🌟💃
I'm watching this because I have a 12ft ceiling and a tiny floor space in my lounge area! Great vids!
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!! 💚😘

Very informative, thank you!
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 .😊

Hello
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!!! 😘😘💕
I’ve learned from both your videos on small space tips. I agreed with all your tips and will be following closely as I start to do up my new 2+1 study room condo which I just collected my keys. Thanks Lisa!
👏❤️😊👍🙏
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.
I needed this video so much. Thanks for the great information!

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 ^_^

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.

Adele!! OMG you are right, the rugs are like boats floating the furniture away!!! 🤣🤣 Hahaha what a funny way to look at it!! 🤪 Thank you so much for watching and being part of this FABULOUS community!! 🥰🌟💚
Awesome and thank you! I moved to this small space with tons of potential and I'm working on fixing almost every single item you mentioned (except for rugs, I have big rugs). It has been a process. Your tips come very timely.
Oooh Ari congrats on the move!!! 😍😍 Working on any new space is SUCH a big project...I'm so glad I could get you this video at a good time!!! 🥰 Thank you so so much for tuning in and supporting my channel today - you got this!!! 🤩👏🏻💕
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!!

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 😍
