I just wish as you’re talking about these rooms, that you show those rooms longer while you’re talking about them. It’s hard to get a good look when you only show it for a few seconds at a time. 😊
And more close up on your tablet while you’re drawing on it. But LOVE your content. Thank you so much ! So very helpful 😊
Yeah, this
Absolutely. Well, you know, she's teaching, but she doesn't want to give all the techniques up, so she waffles, but she doesn't give... not the first time.
Definitely second this! I had to pause and zoom so many times to get the sense of what she was saying… Rebecca, you could do something like a screen recording of your iPad and then have that dropped in as an overlay in the video at the right times… I’m not explaining that particularly well but hopefully you’ll know what I mean and will either have seen other content creators doing something similar to get an idea!
@cjhoward409
Exactly
Love that you use actual home photos to illustrate how to correct our mistakes to which we can all relate. Thanks.
Love your channel. You are helping me to finish what I have going in the right direction.
@@user-ix1sf9wm8k that’s great news. Thank you for letting me know my efforts are helping you. That’s exactly why I do what I do.
Made my day my friend 😉 RR
As much as I adore your design projects Rebecca, I have to say that these videos with people’s homes are my absolute favorite. It helps me understand your design rules, and puts them into practical use right away. Just love it!
YES!!! I am NOT the only person in the world who rearranges hotel furniture (or Vrbo home stays) to create better balance and flow! My husband thinks I’m a psycho but I cannot relax when things are not balanced, or do not make sense to room flow. *siiiigh* I feel vindicated. 😂
I love this but it’s hard to follow along on your small screen and using your finger… maybe zoom into the image and use the pen to point and draw to make it easier to see? Overall love this series, hearing the ideas is a huge help 😊
I agree. Her ideas deserve to be the focus otherwise it becomes what not to do. Positive vs negative approach.
Love your posts rebecca 💕
Would be great to see you display these pics on a big screen so we can see it better 😊
Love your inspirational work, but was hard to see the new arrangements on your pad.
Or even the original rooms. So it made the teaching pretty useless, since you had no idea what she was waffling on about.
Loved this. Please do more but can you work on showing the pictures longer and closer up? Thanks!
You crack me up as probably the only person who routinely rearranges the furniture in a hotel room ...because it bugs you when not correct! You are 100% right and an amazing teacher. I wish I had a fraction of your energy!
I really like that you work with and enhance what people already have, and aren't just about promoting the latest trend. So refreshing to see in any media.
Please bring back the print photos and sharpies. You can still keep the Ipad though 😅. Great video, but could not see the photos on the Ipad very clearly. Priceless tips, thank you Rebeca!❤
Yeah that definitely worked better
My husband and I just watched this episode. We thought ,Let's just see....moved the couch 7 inches to center it infront of the window....You are right! Not even kidding. The entire room feels better!! Thank you for your excellent pointers!!
Some of the rooms didn't do a close up and there's no way to see your tablet because it's small. 😢
Two things that drive me crazy when I look at homes for purchase. Furniture up against the wall and toilet seat lid up.
Thank you to all of the people who shared photos of their homes! It really helps us understand the design concepts with real life examples. [I have a hunch that the hotel room furniture was placed that way to help the cleaning staff clean around the room. I like how your simple changes made such a difference.]
These are the MOST helpful videos! Most of us don't have a limitless budget to buy gorgeous new pieces, so we're working with what we have. So much of design seems to be placement, so seeing "real" people's homes is incredibly beneficial.
You don't have to buy new if you can find used or gently used at local shops.
@@camis.1347 I've never been able to find anything worthwhile in that regard. I have the worst luck!
It would be really neat to see you design a room from flea market, facebook market stuff. So many of us do it, but we’re not very good at it. YOU WOULD DO IT FABULOUSLY.
Where you purchase items from makes no difference to the guidelines for design.... buy things you love, arrange them to enhance your space...
She did a collab with the Design on a Dime channel and did something just like that 😊! You should check it out.
I wasn’t planning to…but after this episode I rearranged my lounge room furniture 😀
A difficult room to furnish, which I’ve struggled with for years (long / skinny / no symmetry at all / too many doors).
Main problem (apart from the symmetry issue) is that it is hard to achieve a conversation area.
I had furniture against the wall, everything facing the TV or cabinets on one side.
I’m finally happy with my arrangement, and we can still watch TV and face one another to chat.
Thank you ❤
Love your Informative shows. How about shows for Downsizering Retirees, Elderly seniors or handicapped persons. Open non cluddered floor plans, Ease in ways to still live and function and be in their homes.
Reminds me of when I was staying in a hotel and noticed how awkwardly placed the patio furniture was around the pool, very uninviting. So I rearranged all of the furniture and it looked so much more inviting and comfortable! lol
Hi I love this video. But I really wish you could show the rooms full screen instead of on the tablet. It leaves much to be desired visually. Other than that, I learned so much and I hope you do more videos like this.
100 percent agree!
I love that you rearranged the hotel room furniture, lol. I hope they keep it -- it looks much better!
Great content. Love the information that you shared. Not a fan of the ipad. It was too small to really see what you were talking about. More close up would have been better. Liked the single shots of the rooms. You look great! Keep it up. Your longest running fan....
I’m new to your channel and really liking it so far! One suggestion: zoom in closer to your tablet while you’re drawing in your changes. I want to see exactly what you’re doing!
I love this Rebecca! Many thanks for all who shared their spaces to get your professional opinion on what to do to make their spaces look amazing!
Hi Rebecca! Thank you for featuring our home, and for the suggestions. I will take your advice by removing the bulky bookcase from the front entrance and finding two pieces for either side of dining room window. It is a small space, so the pieces would have to be tall and sort of narrow. I did not show the other side of our home which includes the den. It looks pretty fab in my opinion, hence didn’t show. 😊 I will send pics to you when finished! Again, I love you and wish all the best for you and yours ❤
You have a beautiful house and I think with Rebecca's suggestions it will take your home from beautiful to WOW!
I love this series! I hope you can show all the submission photos in your videos, not through your iPad. It’s not easy to see
Your critique of these rooms and advice is great, but I wish you would show a close up to the camera so we really get to see the room, or a mock up of the before and after.
I love when you look at viewers’ homes and offer constructive criticism. That’s what we’re here for - to learn.
Large area rugs define an area as well and give it a “base”. These ideas are wonderful!!!!! I am now studying my rooms….
I’m happy to see that I’m not the only one who rearranges hotel furniture.
I would love for Ms. Becky to put her "Back" into it, Lol! She's one of the Best in the Biz!
I like this series. I just wish you had some rendering software & video capture to better show the changes you suggest. Most people do have a hard time imagining a space - hence staging homes for sale - so a render means they have to imagine less.
I love your videos. This one made me desperate to see some of the images closer so I could get the idea.
Some valuable tips that help you see furniture placement through a professional’s eyes. I love your eyewear by the way, very stylish but as an optometrist and looking through my eyes ( pardon the pun) they do not fit you properly. I stopped counting how many times in this video they slipped down your nose and you needed to adjust, I found that distracting . It is possible to find great funky eyewear that stays put on your face. Have a professional adjustment done or choose something with different fabrication. You have such a great content and explain so well. I enjoy your videos. Thank you.
First time seeing your channel. I like your calm, poised voice. The concept of showing subscribers’ volunteered home pictures for critiquing is very interesting! Perhaps if we could see what you are actually doing on the screen (screen recording) when you mention ‘adding a chair here and adding chair there’, it would be more satisfying than just seeing your hand move over the screen. Will be back! 😉
All great ideas, thank you! Very good tips and a sense of proportion. Very nice. Some feedback:
1. Please hold the photo of the original room a bit longer on screen. It is exactly 1 second on screen. Make it 5 secs.
2. Have a larger screen to show the changes. I cannot see anything on that tiny screen on laptop. You could have a larger monitor hooked up to the laptop to show changes made on the laptop's interactive screen. Easy fix.
3. Way too much face time. Show us the room not a face. This is poor camera work.
Such a wonderful way of showing all of us what we can do to make our rooms more attractive. Thank you to everyone who sent in pictures!
Hi Rebecca really liked your vidéo and explanation just one thing you often hide the screen of your tablet with your hands or the picture is too far to see cant wait to see your other videos thanks alot
I've been watching since you taught me how to sew a button and wrap a gift (2010 I think? lol)!! You're a master of your craft 🧡
Wow Brandon... I'm flattered you're still watching :-) Thank You! :-) RR
Can you keep the room pic up maybe screen on screen so we can see the furniture and where it should be placed? It’s so hard to see your vision from a 9” iPad and afar on your lap.
This was such a helpful video. I wish I could have seen your tablet blown up a little more. Often your hand was blocking the photo when you were showing the changes you suggested. Thanks to everyone who submitted photos.
Oh, Rebecca, I just love this series!
You are such a brilliant designer and to have you go over these tips is like inviting you into all of our homes. So much priceless information.
I look forward to the updated video every week.
You are the best Rebecca. And God bless my husband for never saying anything about me constantly rearranging and changing things in our home 🤣🤣 because now I have even MORE ideas
Design videos always show spaces that are separated from walkways. But so many of us have small rooms that have a walkway diagonal across it. This is common in apartments and older homes. So the walkway breaks up the room into two triangles, but the windows are always centered on the wall. I can never figure out how to put the furniture in the corners when it just looks out of place not centered to the windows. I’ve lived in over 8 different places that have this same problem! Please do a video on how to place furniture when a walkway goes through a space. And another about how to place furniture if it has to be placed off-center from the windows. Many of us don’t live in huge grand homes with living rooms that are giant squares or rectangles! Especially people in apartments. Furniture shoved up against the wall looks bad but there is often nothing else that seems possible to do.
I love to tweak furniture arrangements. Actually ‘adjusted’ the furnishings in a hotel suite once. Nothing major, but a sofa table was crowding the space, so it got moved to a wall, and the sofa moved back 18 inches for breathing space between the coffee table and tv armoire. Much better. YOUR examples are much more enlightening.
That window frames your personality so well… great lighting, scenery, very polished. Love this view.
Lovely takeaways we can try to implement in our homes. Now 🤔 if our hubbies would listen and be open to changes! 🙏🏼💕
It would be nice to see the pictures a little longer to identify the issues being pointed out. Hard to see from the iPad sheiks using
Love,love,this video real people,real pictures,real solutions thank you it helps a lot of us ❤❤❤❤
I'm liking this series. It's amazing how the little things make a big impact.
I recently got rid of a loveseat in my living room. I don't miss it. I did have it in a "U"shape though. I tore one of the cushions, so it had to go. My apartment is about 560 square feet. The funny thing is over a year ago... my neighbor came over and she asked me if my apartment was bigger than hers, lol. Furniture placement can make a room look bigger.
I have a small space, as well! But, as many have noted, many of the same design rules still apply! I too, live in a small apartment, and am in the process of exchanging a large, heavy bed frame I now have, for a smaller bed frame - with no headboard. ( Even though I like the large bed frame's style, the space would look better when I downsize to a smaller, more modern frame. )
Interior designing can be so overwhelming to the point that you can't consider some important things anymore and one way to omit mistakes is being updated with this kinds of tips and recommendations. 💯😉
I wish I could afford you to design my home 😢
If you are not doing the Design Sessions... you should. I'm considered very low income. They are affordable and worth every penny. And I love Rebecca for that.
She put my dream within reach.
I was chosen to be on my church's decorating committee. I got to pick the carpet and the wall colors. I was terrified to be honest but it turned out terrific. I didn't get paid anything. But my joy is overhearing people say how nice it looks.
Me tooooo 😢😢😢
Don't we all 😢
Same here 😢
@@marysmith861 what an amazing honor. Thank you for sharing.
I have decorating training but it still amazes me that some of these things aren't just common sense. I see soooo many homes with glaring decor mistakes, like art hung WAY too high, that I have to wonder what the heck people were thinking, lol.
I love these videos!!!! You teach us so much how to love our homes and enjoy them more!!!!
So appreciate these topics! Small changes usually with no to little cost are so helpful and help us not feel so design challenged!
Not only are you amazing at home design but you clothing design is beautiful as well!
I liked this segment. It’s really helpful with the photos of before and then the improvements. The hotel room changes made a lot of sense.
Love how you analyzed the different rooms and helped make them cohesive. I will be sending you my room. Thanks Rebecca! 💕
This was so much fun learning how to create better living spaces! You have fabulous ideas!
Thank you for the great videos. I really love this series. I would love to see one on gallery walls.
Omg, I’m loving 🥰 these episodes!!!!
Very INSTRUCTIONAL videos, who would’ve thought that the simplest things, like placement make such a difference! Well done Rebecca, well done 👍 😉
Wow! What a great series, love it! I too love the matching furniture opposite each other. So funny that not too long ago many people said that that was the wrong thing to do by having matching pieces. I’ve always been a big fan of symmetry and think that it gives an upscale look. Please keep this series.
Great feedback to the viewers sending pictures. Can't wait to see the updated looks.
Loving your shirt Rebecca! You have the best black + white collection on the internet!
Yes! I would love to see an updates from these rooms! 👏👏
Yes I love that you adjusted the furniture in the hotel. I hope they see the video and keep it that way ❤
Awesome explanations using existing rooms. I love it! Thank you for making this video!!
Love your design concepts! So glad we got to see you for a moment without your glasses. You have beautiful eyes!
This was so helpful. Thank you. My rooms are small, but I think I can try the tips you gave us.
Love, love these videos and thanks to a few years of watching every tv show about decoration, a huge collection of magazines and about a 1000 hours of renos in my homes and my friends homes I almost( in every picture )could see the "issue", not like you of course but these years with my passion for decor have helped...your home is amazing and I am so happy you are back after that terrible storm, looking forward next week and next video, stay safe.
I learn new design tips from every one of your videos! you have such a cute personality and wonderful talent for decorating. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
This is too much fun and so helpful! Going to take you up on your suggestion, Rebecca and move my furniture to the middle of the room and away from the wall! Will send new pics!! Francesca
I'm enjoying these videos. Thank you so much for sharing your expertise. And, thank you to your viewers who are sharing their photos with you of their home. Looking forward to more videos.
Great video Rebecca! 👌🏼 thanks so much for all the advice you give us ❤️
This video on furniture arrangement was a revelation, offering practical insights and clever tips that completely transformed the layout of my living space, creating a more functional and visually appealing environment. The presenter's expertise and clear visual demonstrations made the entire process a breeze, and I'm thrilled with the results. Many thanks.
This video is phenomenal and desperately needed to show people how simple changes can make a huge impact. I would LOVE to see a video series on how to decorate a bookshelf or built-ins to make the most impact.
this is such a great idea! such small simple changes really makes a difference!
I just found you. Made some great notes, I'm redoing my whole house.
Thank you for the tips/tricks!!!
This video is a great idea but I would've like to see the pictures more closely so I could appreciate better the mistakes and way to fix them
It was such fun to see you adjust..adapt the rooms to improve them without great expense. Would you do a video on window treatments and what you do, sources? Fun video Rebecca. Thanks!
🏅Brilliant Rebecca as always. Finding the right balance and central point of any room makes a huge difference.
Can't wait to start my project using your save techniques
I am amazed at your beautiful design abilities, so glad I discovered you.
I have been waiting for these type of videos like you used to do !!! Love it!!
I love watching these videos Rebecca. After many years of doing so, I really do look at my own home and place things better. I too love Symmetry. I think even sometimes just moving furniture around makes it feel new .even bits from other rooms . Colour coordinated rooms too. I have so many friends I think must be colour blind they buy things they like and not necessarily that go even with their decor. I dont say anything though. I would not dare ….. 😂
Thank you! great suggestions and WHY to do something. Thank you. I always learn so very much from you. Have a great day. Love the hotel example you did. Good job.
You are a phenomenal decorator interior and exterior designer. It's always a pleasure to watch the outcome of your decorating always simply beautiful thanks for sharing with us all.
Fabulous!! Wonderful tips!
Love this! I so need these! Thank you Rebecca!!!!❤❤❤❤
I’m glad that you tell people what they can do on your video.
You’re so much fun! I just subscribed. I had to ...because with each of these rooms, you were articulating the voice in my head!!!
Ooh! I love you Rebecca! I stumbled upon this channel and now I'm hooked! Thank you, now I seem to analyze furniture everywhere I go, but first my house. Ciao!
Rebecca this was very helpful. Have you ever thought about creating a decorating book. Showing all your works and ideas, especially in your home and at Christmas time. I'm sure its a great deal of work but I would buy it.
I learn most from these videos - great instruction! ❤
I really loved this video. Looking forward to your upcoming holiday videos.
Swivel chairs are great for turning TV chairs into conversation chairs.
My favorite friday series hands down!!! Rebecca really moved those ppl furniture 😂 I love her! Lol
Once again, thank you, Rebecca! So much good information! I'm getting ready to paint my bedroom; something I've never done before. I have a good idea what I want to do in it. I sold the bedroom set I had because it was too big, too much...and it's all your fault!!❤ 😂
I am in that process, too! I love this bed frame I have (a divorce prompted a move) and while I appreciate the large, heavy bed frame i now have, I realize its scale is just too large for the space! I am in the process of choosing a bed frame which does not overwhelm the small bedroom I have.
Good luck - and have fun!
I LOVE THE INFORMATION! You are the best, thank you for sharing. Was happy to hear you say things that I was thinking about the placement of furniture pieces and scale.
This was fabulous! Thank you!❤
"When you have a chair like this. REBECCA: What do you want next to you..."
ME: "A mocha" ❤😂
Rebecca!
I love your style and ideas! Thank you for giving us a chance here in Canada to have some ideas to decorate on a budjet.
I will submit my living room hoping you pick it up!
Many thanks!
🙋🇨🇦♥️
