Congratulations on the newest addition to your family! I agree with keeping the table decoration to a minimum. I've been to homes that have the table fully set all the time and all I can think about is how often I'd have to dust!
I have watched your videos and didn’t watch long thinking you were too expensive of a designer for me to be able to imagine myself using your designs. Lately I hung in there watching and you give great tips and explain how we can apply your designs to our lifestyle. I realized it’s not about spending the most. Love it!
One thing I noticed with every example you showed is that every single table was a fixed length. For flexibility and appropriate levels of intimacy, a table with leaves, in the middle, self-storing, or at the ends, mean that for small groups the table can feel intimate rather than daunting, but still able to accomodate larger gatherings with ease and comfort. When not needed in the dining room, extra chairs can work as seating in bedrooms, vestibules, and as accent pieces in the dining room itself.
Love the detail in this video. One thing I have found while researching buying a table and chairs, is not only making sure the chair can go under the table if needed, but making sure the chairs aren’t too high to comfortably fit your legs under. Also making sure the table is a good heigh when sitting at it
All dining chair seat heights are standard (18”-19”) and dining table table heights are typically 30” high. What you need to consider is how thick the dining table top is since it will protrude into the leg space. Excellent point Sam and often overlooked 🙌🏻
congrats on baby k! i'm so happy you said that fully dressed tables as decor is not necessary. i actually use my table to work sometimes. i also find that concept is just a dust magnet if you are not using everyday.
This was perfect as a vanity desk for me. th-cam.com/users/postUgkxMAlHv7-BBWMrPRm5-uEoD6rtdT7SG2Qr Especially the glossy finish. Easy to cleanI was looking for something that wasn't the traditional white and with more of a modern feel. This fit the bill beautifully. I put it together with no problems, by myself in under an hour.Make sure you double check where you place the drawer tracks before screwing down. I had one track that needed to be aligned with different holes than the rest.
Loved all the details you went over. I am a work in progress in my dining room, already have a well made dining table that will last longer than I will live. I have a gorgeous grand mirror and just need the perfect chairs. Julie good luck on the delivery of your baby, have a joyful time with your family. May God be with you at all times ❤️
Now I know why I like my dining room when it is all put together! My antiques have been in the process of refinishing and my gilded mirror in repair since 2019...I am slowly getting my pieces back, but I have a superior talent that works on my treasures and makes them sparkle! Good work is worth the wait!
Wow this was helpful and let’s me know I am on the right track…. I have a small dining room with high ceilings, I chose a large mirror , abstract artwork and chandelier (all oversized) with a side table decorated bringing in the colors from the artwork. My dining table can fit 6 to 8 people, I chose a bench on one side of the table to help with space, as I tuck it under the table when not in use . The dining room is a mixture of traditional and contemporary.
Jumping right into it, Design that is, You Julie are just my very favorite of all designers. You are the creme' de la creme, magnificent is all you do! 🙂
Great list. I am using my dinning area as home office as well. It is at the entrance. The room I keep very neat and tidy and clutter free always. My clients come to sign documents all the time. Very convenient to have the first room as multifunctional space. Love your ideas. ♥️♥️
I agree with everything you say. I have a house with a very open floor layout so the dining room has only 1 wall. W have put a very big almost impossible to move hutch against the wall which looks and functions great. I also don't like the idea of place settings being left out all the time. My kids are soon going to start getting homework. The challenge I'm having with the dining room is I want to find a way to make it also serve a homework/office room. I'm trying to make it so it can be quickly , swapped between the two when we have company. If you have any idea I would love to hear them.
Congratulations Julie on your newest addition! I love your videos! Thank you so much for this info! I wish I had your tips a couple years ago when I had a kitchen and dining room remodel. I worked with a junior interior designer and my round and too large chandelier that she suggested does not go with my rectangle table in my rectangle dining area. A very expensive mistake. At least now I know if I make changes in the future!
Next week! How exciting. We will be here awaiting the news. As to the dining room, I’ve ticked all the boxes: round table in a square room, not a matchy set, correct proportion on rug, correct distance on hanging lights, etc., etc. All I need now is the window covering. Julie is motivating me to get it done.
This, again, is so helpful. Thank you very much! I totally agree with your valid points. Just a comment: we are a Catholic family and a beautiful, tasteful framed reproduction of da Vinci's Last Supper is an essential. This usually takes the place of the big statement mirror. Finally, WISHING YOU THE VERY BEST FOR YOUR NEW BABY'S BIRTH! For someone "heavy with child " YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL!
Been following your advice...you are the best to me because actually educate on what to DO. Found a thrifted table for CHEAP! Beautiful and functional for me and my family. Now...the battle of finding chairs.
Kudos on your new family member..❤ After watching this video, I did everything correctly. I am in an older house the dining room was really a room with 2 doors..I placed my 2 seat glass table opposite the sofa..Glass was perfect for my tiny tiny area..My dining room is the den/office..My pet peeve is a pre set table..Glad you are back on the screen.......👍👍👍👍
Great tips, Julie! 😊 I agree on empty tables when not in used. I have never seen a full on set table (when not in used) before where I live or where I come from, so it looks very unusual to me. Thanks so much for sharing! Hugs from Prague 🥰
Thank you miss Julie 🙏 nice tips 😍 me too i love clean/ clear table ☺️ specially my table is glass i’m afraid for having scratches 🙈😬 have a good day 😊
Hi Julie Looking forward to all these breakdowns. My dining room does multipurpose things too. The table is the largest flat surface so it’s great for projects and homework. I did used to put my fancy placemats on it until I found out the cat thought they were beds for him! So I took those off and and have a felt backed pad to protect the wood. It’s custom to the table shape. I used to just have the beautiful wood exposed but once I realized the heavy use it would have I covered it. I have a mirror I had custom made to the width of the sideboard under it. It’s beautiful and will never need to be replaced so that wall is done. I rarely clean it and it doesn’t get cloudy. The only arm chairs I have are the end ones. But all the chairs are a good sized with padded seats and very comfortable. The chandelier is bright 24 k plated gold and only needs light dusting and wiping with a chamois cloth. I bought it in the Bowery which was a popular light store district in nyc. You could spend a whole weekend there just looking at light fixtures ! Not anymore though. Besides the sideboard I have a hutch and display cabinet both lighted. This reduces the need for extra wiring in the room bc I can just turn on the lights in the cabinets and it brightens the corners. The only thing I would like to have but have not purchased yet are sideboard table lamps. In front of my big mirror I think they would look great and reflect the light. During the holidays this room looks magical with the faux lit Ivy I put up around the cabinets and the mirror. For birthdays I would twist the paper ribbons from the chandelier to the ceiling. The children loved that! Happy times!!! Looking forward to the next break down! I hope you are enjoying your girls!! Margaret
I love that you have the staples down and change the look up for the holidays Margaret! The symmetry sounds fabulous for a formal dining space, especially all lit up! 🤩
@@JulieKhuu yes Julie I was happy to hear your suggestions were what I did years ago. Not all but most of those staple suggestions were done. I hope you had a nice weekend and are getting to spend a lot of mommy time now. Enjoy it! 🥰Margaret ps I watched the brick matching paint video but I don’t have exposed brick. Though I would have liked to.
Totally agree with all criteria and I’ve just planned my dining room for my new house as I’m moving into a smaller property and your videos are helping me determine if I’m on the right track. Thank you
I absolutely love your videos! I have recently used so many of your tips since my husband and I just bought our first home. However, I was really hoping this video would have different options for lighting. There is a beam straight through the top of our dining room making it difficult to install a light fixture. Would you be able to give me some tips on the best solution?! Would a floor lamp be best? And what kind?
Hello Julie, congrats on your second baby! Love the video! It's so timely! I'm starting from scratch! I have a 14 ft ×10 dining room. I've always loved the idea of round table but the house I bought already has a modern rectangular light fixture. I'd love to have some sourcing ideas . I've always thought a marble /faux marble round/oval table with those elegant tulip legs. But seeing that I can go up to 84" in length, I'd love your sourcing links. Also I would like castors on my chairs for ease of moving ,what do you think about that?
I have castors on mine so I love the idea! I reupholstered secondhand office chairs for my dining room and never looked back. Always save for the real deal so real marble would be perfect 👍🏻
You’re in luck Babette! I have an awesome video lined up next week to show you my Pinterest hack on how to use this app to find and source anything you see! It’s my “not so secret” designer’s secret! Stay tuned! 👍🏻☺️
Omg Julie its so good to see you and congrats...I will be using your tips in my dining room thank for the inspiration And good luck with your new addition 🙂🌼👍
Loved the list! Completely agree with everything, and I am glad I already have all the recommended items. I even upholstered the chairs (again) this week! Thank you for the inspiration, Julie.
I have a video called 5 things every living room needs on the channel now. My advice would be to blend the two. You can also check out my video on open concept layouts for more inspiration
Hi Julie, love the video- and thought I’d get your advice. I accidentally ordered chairs that match the curtains. They are both a linen flax color. I love both the chairs and the curtains and I’m having issues returning the chairs- so I’m kinda stuck with them. Is this going to be too matchy matchy? Not sure if this is now hopeless to try to have contrast. The round table is a different wood color , so I think there is a bit of hope here. Love your videos and as a recent graduate, I’m trying to actually make this dining room look nice :)
Everything you stated a dining room needs I have kudos to me. One thing you suggested not to do is set your dining room table with place settings for day to day decor. I am guilty of this and I will be removing the table settings as of today. Great video by the way.
Hi Julie. I loved this segment if I have a mirrored cabinet in my dinning room and it's about 6ft should I put anything above it. I have 10ft ceilings. Kindest Regards Gina
Hi Julie, thank you for your videos. So I have a big mirror in my dining room that faces the sliding door and reflects a big tree as well as bringing in more natural light. It’s a very small condo. Is this not good Feng shui ? So confusing. Living room & dining room is all open flow big space. I have a huge mirror over sofa as well but worry to many mirrors in a small space.
Dear Julie, thank you so much for the video and again congratulations on your little daughter! I have an idea for another video: could you give some guidelines how to choose chairs for different tables (styles, finishes, shapes)?
Congratulations on your baby.. glad to know you have resources in L.A hopefully. I have a 1930s dining table that needs to be aligned so that when I put in the extensions it won't wobble. Any suggestions?
Your series is awesome!! Definitely had me thinking of adding that center piece on the dining table. Sometimes, I also feel my past choices were validated by your videos.
Hi Julie! I really enjoy watching your channel. I love how you talk about things most channels don't. My dilemma is finding the right rug for my round dining table. It is located between the living room and kitchen. Would the rug be necessary or should I add a rug for separation between living room and kitchen? Thanks for your help!
Not necessary at all especially if the spaces are tight and adjacent to one another. I find that a rug under these conditions actually become a hindrance rather than a benefit to the space Candance. Use your best judgment, you got this 🙌🏻
Congratulations on baby . Very helpful video on inches for hanging lights and dining room rug.would appreciate more info on dinette chairs r banquettes.
I agree with everyone really appreciating your videos for how helpful, clear and thoughtful they are. In terms of sourcing, I’d especially like to know your thoughts and recommendations for sheer/semi-sheer curtains-fabrics, lengths and any other considerations that you see coming in to play. Thanks for everything you do!
I’m still looking for my ideal black chairs . I wish we had a Craig’s list in Australia. Getting to see the absolutely gorgeous interiors on your videos Julie is better than chocolate 😊
Thanks so much, your videos are so informative. You said this is your last video for now however when you're able and ready to return perhaps you can place (Best Dining Room Tables) on your schedule. Thanks & enjoy every minute of your family time.
Julie All the very best for everything! Sending you and the baby best wishes and hopefully we will get to see a video from you with the new baby :) Also yes please definitely need the dining table and chair video! I am going to hold off buying mine :) want your expert advice! Thanks for this video~! and I totally love that you also tie in feng shui within your content!
Thank you for watching Surbhi! She’s here already! I share a ton of videos on Instagram, but if you want some pictures now- check out my community page 😊
What are the rules for mixing dining chair colors in different rooms? I have a kitchen area right off the dining room. Both have a reclaimed oak dark brown tables, round in dining and parsons table rectangular in kitchen. I currently have RH Hudson Parson chairs in dark brown oak and Dove perennials performance textured linen weave fabric. I need more dining chairs. Should I use another shade of grey or even natural fabric color or should I continue the Dove color?
Could you source round wood and industrial modern metal legs. I love dark walnut wood and I love your chairs just want espresso or black frame with casters.
Hi Julie, love your videos. I have a large mantle mirror ( with a mantle base). It is living in my sitting room above the fireplace. I wish to move it to the dining room. There is no fireplace in dining room. How do I place it on the wall elegantly? Thank you
Just started watching your videos and love it all. Your vids are very well organized and offer a lot of great ideas. I’m downsizing into a home half the size of my present home. Starting to watch your small spaces vids. Would love to get some sources for buffet seating (booth seating).
Hey Julie! “PALLADIAN BLUE” here! 😁. I loved your video! I def would like a sourcing video, as I see so many tables/dining chairs I’m interested in. I have a really small dining space which is adjacent to a large island that’s at an awkward angle. I think I will go for a round or oblong table. Thanks again! Kris
These tips are wonderful. I’d like your opinion on having a mirror over the buffet & a round mirror between 2 windows. This is in my formal dinning room.
I much prefer a pretty pendant to draw focus to this area, but if you need the fan to cool off the space, you are prioritizing the function over aesthetics Diane. That’s your call 👍🏻
All I have is a small dining area. Have an oval table and 4 chairs. Soon to replace it with a round table. The room from table to wall is 20” . Very small area 🤷♀️ Love your videos😊😊
I love how you explain design. You are specific with the rules which really helps.
I’m glad you find my videos helpful Kim! Thank you for watching 🙏🏻☺️
I love that you aren't pro clutter on the diningroom table. I feel that way as well and also hate too many pillows on couches. ♡
Yup! I’m not a fan of too many pillows on the sofa or bed Rachael 🙌🏻

Awesome, I’m glad I was able to share more inspiration for you Regina! 💗
Julie, I just love listening to your videos. I find them endlessly informative & inspiring.
Thank you so much for watching Ivy 🙏🏻☺️💕
One thing I noticed with every example you showed is that every single table was a fixed length. For flexibility and appropriate levels of intimacy, a table with leaves, in the middle, self-storing, or at the ends, mean that for small groups the table can feel intimate rather than daunting, but still able to accomodate larger gatherings with ease and comfort. When not needed in the dining room, extra chairs can work as seating in bedrooms, vestibules, and as accent pieces in the dining room itself.
Yup, I have an entire video on best dining tables that support your point Michael 👍☺️
So many pretty large round tables in this video. I am struggling to find a large round table that doesn’t cost my first born
Love the detail in this video. One thing I have found while researching buying a table and chairs, is not only making sure the chair can go under the table if needed, but making sure the chairs aren’t too high to comfortably fit your legs under.

All dining chair seat heights are standard (18”-19”) and dining table table heights are typically 30” high. What you need to consider is how thick the dining table top is since it will protrude into the leg space. Excellent point Sam and often overlooked 🙌🏻
I agree particularly important if you are getting vintage furniture where furniture may not be to standard sizes
congrats on baby k! i'm so happy you said that fully dressed tables as decor is not necessary. i actually use my table to work sometimes. i also find that concept is just a dust magnet if you are not using everyday.

I love both the chairs and the curtains and I’m having issues returning the chairs- so I’m kinda stuck with them. Is this going to be too matchy matchy? Not sure if this is now hopeless to try to have contrast. The round table is a different wood color , so I think there is a bit of hope here. Love your videos and as a recent graduate, I’m trying to actually make this dining room look nice :)
Everything you stated a dining room needs I have kudos to me. One thing you suggested not to do is set your dining room table with place settings for day to day decor. I am guilty of this and I will be removing the table settings as of today. Great video by the way.
If you can maintain it, go for it Jani! I personally like a clean table ☺️
Hi Julie. I loved this segment if I have a mirrored cabinet in my dinning room and it's about 6ft should I put anything above it. I have 10ft ceilings. Kindest Regards Gina
Wow that’s tall, nothing above it Gina. Totally unnecessary
Thank you Julie!!!
Hi Julie, thank you for your videos. So I have a big mirror in my dining room that faces the sliding door and reflects a big tree as well as bringing in more natural light. It’s a very small condo. Is this not good Feng shui ? So confusing. Living room & dining room is all open flow big space. I have a huge mirror over sofa as well but worry to many mirrors in a small space.
As usual , a very informative video with great tips. Thank you Julie!
Thank you for watching Kamanda 🙏🏻☺️
Dear Julie, thank you so much for the video and again congratulations on your little daughter!
I have an idea for another video: could you give some guidelines how to choose chairs for different tables (styles, finishes, shapes)?
Sure! I’ll add those parameters to the sourcing video for dining rooms Tanisha! 👍🏻☺️
Congratulations on your baby.. glad to know you have resources in L.A hopefully. I have a 1930s dining table that needs to be aligned so that when I put in the extensions it won't wobble. Any suggestions?
I would look for a local carpenter to help with that. Try Yelp Lula
Love the clutter free dinning ideas, 😊
Thank you for watching Barbara! Purging is necessary 👍🏻☺️
Your series is awesome!! Definitely had me thinking of adding that center piece on the dining table. Sometimes, I also feel my past choices were validated by your videos.
Awesome Nita! Yeah, that centerpiece doesn’t have to be huge to make an impact 👍🏻☺️
@@JulieKhuu HI, CAN YOU TAKE A LOOK AT MY LAYOUT, MY MOMMA PAASSED AWAY AND SHE WAS A DESIGNER SHE WAS MY GO TO GAL AND MY BFF
Absolutely loved this vlog! ❤️
Thank you for watching Salma 🙏🏻☺️
Hi Julie! I really enjoy watching your channel. I love how you talk about things most channels don't. My dilemma is finding the right rug for my round dining table. It is located between the living room and kitchen. Would the rug be necessary or should I add a rug for separation between living room and kitchen? Thanks for your help!
Not necessary at all especially if the spaces are tight and adjacent to one another. I find that a rug under these conditions actually become a hindrance rather than a benefit to the space Candance. Use your best judgment, you got this 🙌🏻
@@JulieKhuu Makes perfect sense. Thanks so much. 🙂
Congratulations on baby . Very helpful video on inches for hanging lights and dining room rug.would appreciate more info on dinette chairs r banquettes.
Thank you for watching Rosemary, check out my video on small dining rooms and dining room mistakes for more tips!
I would love a sourcing one next please
I just love your videos !!❤️❤️❤️
Ok 👍🏻 adding to my list now Beatrice!
I agree with everyone really appreciating your videos for how helpful, clear and thoughtful they are. In terms of sourcing, I’d especially like to know your thoughts and recommendations for sheer/semi-sheer curtains-fabrics, lengths and any other considerations that you see coming in to play. Thanks for everything you do!
Love you julie!!!
I’m still looking for my ideal black chairs . I wish we had a Craig’s list in Australia. Getting to see the absolutely gorgeous interiors on your videos Julie is better than chocolate 😊
Thank you for watching Theresa! I have a super fun and helpful sourcing video next week! Stay tuned, I know I can help you find the perfect one! 🖤

Thank you for watching Surbhi! She’s here already! I share a ton of videos on Instagram, but if you want some pictures now- check out my community page 😊
Hi Julie! Love your videos!
Thank you for watching 🙏🏻☺️
What are the rules for mixing dining chair colors in different rooms? I have a kitchen area right off the dining room. Both have a reclaimed oak dark brown tables, round in dining and parsons table rectangular in kitchen. I currently have RH Hudson Parson chairs in dark brown oak and Dove perennials performance textured linen weave fabric. I need more dining chairs. Should I use another shade of grey or even natural fabric color or should I continue the Dove color?
Could you source round wood and industrial modern metal legs. I love dark walnut wood and I love your chairs just want espresso or black frame with casters.
Will add to my list Jerri! 👍🏻
Any advice for a windowless dining room? Thanks Julie. Great video today.
Wall sconces for the win David! I would source a statement piece of artwork and flank symmetrical sconces to bring in more light
Yes, please create a video on where to source dining chairs. Thank you.
You got it T 👍🏻☺️
Hi Julia, where can I get a statement dining table ( on a budget) and ceiling lamps for my dining room.
Use my Pinterest hack video to help you source anything from this dining room video that you love Pamella!
Hi Julie, love your videos. I have a large mantle mirror ( with a mantle base). It is living in my sitting room above the fireplace. I wish to move it to the dining room. There is no fireplace in dining room. How do I place it on the wall elegantly? Thank you
Flank a slim console underneath it and it will feel intentional Sujatha 👍🏻
Great tips Julie!!! xo
Thank you for watching Sharon 🙏🏻☺️
@@JulieKhuu You're welcome!😘
Just started watching your videos and love it all. Your vids are very well organized and offer a lot of great ideas.
I’m downsizing into a home half the size of my present home. Starting to watch your small spaces vids. Would love to get some sources for buffet seating (booth seating).
Awesome! Thank you for watching! I would look for a local upholstery shop and go custom
THIS VIDEO IS GREAT!
Thank you for watching Lizz! 🙏☺️
Hey Julie! “PALLADIAN BLUE” here! 😁. I loved your video! I def would like a sourcing video, as I see so many tables/dining chairs I’m interested in. I have a really small dining space which is adjacent to a large island that’s at an awkward angle. I think I will go for a round or oblong table. Thanks again! Kris
Will do Kris! Thank you for watching 🙏🏻☺️
Pls add where o can shop for dining table. Something oval with extension and slim. Good luck and congrats to your coming new bundle of joy!
Will do Vicky! I’m sourcing those exact details for my new dining table 🙌🏻☺️
These tips are wonderful. I’d like your opinion on having a mirror over the buffet & a round mirror between 2 windows. This is in my formal dinning room.
Sounds good, as long as the two mirrors are not across from one another or the energies will keep bouncing back and forth and disrupt chi
Thanks Julie! I'm of the camp that lives a sideboard!
Me too! If only I had the space Bedina 😬
Love your videos!!
Thank you for watching Renee! 🙏🏻☺️
Is it ok to have a ceiling light fan over the dining table ? I’m changing my family rom into the dining room since it’s ope to the kitchen.
I much prefer a pretty pendant to draw focus to this area, but if you need the fan to cool off the space, you are prioritizing the function over aesthetics Diane. That’s your call 👍🏻
All I have is a small dining area. Have an oval table and 4 chairs. Soon to replace it with a round table. The room from table to wall is 20” . Very small area 🤷♀️
Love your videos😊😊
Check out my small space series Bertha! The episode on small dining areas may help guide you 👍🏻☺️
About the artwork or mirror.Does it go beyond the door frame when its a small room or above??? Sourcing video for sure
Artwork and mirror should clear the top of the dining table for sure
