Wow! I’m so glad I found your channel. 54 year old woman here and as soon as I heard you I knew I needed you in my TH-cam life lol thank you thank you. Great channel. Great energy.
I love your energy and the fact that you respect others’ needs and likes instead of trying to insult people who might disagree with you. The other designers I’ve watched are so egotistical they put down anyone who doesn’t agree with them. I have a few things in my home that are taboo to high end designers, but I will not part with for sentimental reasons
Paintings are due to be framed. If it is not to be framed, paint the edges a solid color, even the wall color would be fine. I've never seen a fine art painting go around the edges of the canvas.
Supported curtain rods: sometimes I paint the hardware touching the wall the wall color so it’s not so obvious. It seems to work with certain styles of hardware.
Sometimes they don't use the fireplace or need a space for additional seating. To have a huge section of wall space taken up, whether by a beautiful fireplace or not, isn't ideal.
My fireplace is in a really awkward space. We have lit the fireplace no more than 10 times in all the years I've lived here. After each fireplace "evening" I always wondered why we had bothered. It's not an efficient source of heat. If you sit in front of it, only one side of your body is warm. You have to clean it. You have to have it inspected every so often. It's way too much work for the payback. People are always telling me it's romantic. However, civilization has worked hard to put fires away and get furnaces and heaters instead. (Yes, I also abhor camping. My idea of a vacation always includes room service. No, the food doesn't taste better and cabins aren't that attractive, including those featured in AD.)
I’ve lived in homes with a fireplace from 1980 to 2018. The home I’m in now does not have one 😢. I miss having one so much. I can’t imagine not making it a focal point.
There are many options for faux or electric fireplaces if you’d still like one in your home. I think it’s ingrained and a primal urge for humans to live near a fire source.
The one in our home (a '40s job) was removed ages ago, but we put a modern one back in. It really does wonders for the room, visually divides it into 2 logical parts and it's a good focal point, especially when lit. Also... if the gas heater goes out, it does a good job of warming the house. It's sad that so many people in the 80s and 90s decided to remove fireplaces from old buildings.
I have lived in every US time zone and love a fireplace. I live in the Tampa area now and no fireplace. Some homes have them but more homes have pools. At this moment we are having an unusual cold snap (frost warning tonight) and I would give anything to be warming my cold feet in front of a fire. I found you for the first time tonight. Good tips. There are little things that ruin your look that you pointed out. One more is take the Cellophane Off your lamp shades.
I liked, that those tips were new to me. Already was reluctand to click on the video, because I expected yet ankter interior design video telling me about my rug size. So, I'm glad I clicked on the video and heard new ideas ^^
Regarding the fake florals and greens...I met Charles Nelson Reilly while employed in a hotel he stayed in while directing a play. He said as a director it was his job to make everything look real and then set about to cut petals and leaves off the fake plants in the lobby, scattering them on the table beneath the plant. Amazing how much of a difference it made! Since then, my sister and I have used this method. Really does add an authenticity to the plant.
Too many legs on furniture? I did not see until you said it, but now I get it. Yes, I made this mistake. I hope you are working on an interior decor black Friday video. (Nudge, nudge)
Thank you for that site. I have been struggling to finish my apartment becuase I couldnt fully conceptualize the after. ❤❤❤❤❤ You're the best. You look amazing and glowy !
I've never considered if furniture had legs or not. I knew if they did they should kind of match, but now I know what bothers me about my living room (nothing has legs). I don't think it makes the space tacky but does make it heavy and solid. Maybe an end table & coffee table with legs would lighten it a bit?
I am a house plant collector, and have plants on my widow sills. However, I also have cats who love sitting and sleeping on my wide window sills. So some blank space is non-negotiable!
Some good tips there! I've got almost all open leg furnishings, but it isn't changing because so much is family heirlooms, and in the 1890s-1920s I guess furniture just was always on open legs. And the fireplace is covered up by our daughter's concert harp which needed a temporary home. A note on artificial flower stems: look up what the plant ought to look like before bending! The West Elm photo has Alliums with curly stems - NO! They don't grow that way in real life.
About the canvas sides... Most of our wall art is in good wooden frames, but we have 2 drawings printed on canvas in the kitchen. When we ordered them, we had the option of having them with the sides painted or left white. And they look way better with the sides unfinished. Keep in mind... these are pop-art drawings a lady did of our cats, so maybe that is a whole 'nother category of tacky... But they are bright and cheerful, and liven up an otherwise somewhat boring corner of the house. And printing the sides messes with the symmetry. Loving the advice though, and the presentation. Subscribed. Speaking of tacky, how do you feel about a monitor arm bolted to the living room sofa?
@@Daysleeper1000 I feel like having one wood tone ages a house faster. Walking into a house where everything is that butterscotch red honey oak may have been fresh in the 70s but now it looks tacky. Today I find having a bit of honey oak mixed with your white oak, can add a beautiful pop of warmth.
Just found you and have now subscribed and look forward to more tips. I love that you admit you make the mistakes yourself (we are all human) and definitely makes it easier to admit to myself the things I can change to make my place more beautiful
Artists often don't finish the sides of canvas because we intend those pieces to be framed. It's an easy way to know whether there should be a frame or not - whether the sides are finished or not.
Hi Kiva, Long time watcher....love your content. Can you point me to the video where you have a link for the stems on top of your cabinet in the kitchen?
I buy sturdy curtain rods. I absolutely hate the way the middle curtain holder looks. It looks so tacky. That's why I tell everybody there is no wrong or right way to decorate YOUR HOME. She gave good pointers but do what you like. It's just like clothes, you wear the style you like.
You made a point about not combining different colored woods in one room, but if you inherited some of these furniture pieces, it wouldn't be econonomical to buy new furniture just to match wood finishes, only if you furnish a room from scratch.
not relevant to the content, but i am so glad to hear someone who says the word MIRROR and not "MEER", it is such a huge pet peeve of mine that WAY too many interior/decor content creators use and it sounds so absurd. and now, relevant to the content: great video. :)

I use the rule of threes for my window sill! Two on one side, one on the other! And I try to keep plants that are appropriately sized to that window. Often I get to switch them out with new ones when those plants grow too big.
I've lived in a few old apartments with nonworking fireplaces, and I also inherited a piano from my mom's family (I can't play it, but it's not worth selling), so my go to is always putting the piano in front of the fireplace and taking advantage of the mantel to extend the decorating space, lol. I would actually love to live somewhere with a functioning fireplace, but right now we're mostly hung up on the fact that without a mantel in our current place, the piano looks so much smaller and we've had to cut back on how many holiday decorations we can use.
I can't have 2 walkways into my living room area unless the balcony counts as an exit on 26th floor 🤣 Hey, at least guest have an escape! People are just going to have to deal with cozy one-way cul-de-sac.
#1-Unfinished canvas edges---yeah, OK, but DIY it with stained/painted paint sticks or some moulding from Home Depot. #2-Open legs let you clean under the furniture w/out moving it. Closed legs look---modern or like you need to hide something. Ugh. #3-Ha!

Idk why people have a problem with the TV above the fireplace .. Most of us spend our whole days looking down at cell phone or computer keyboards you NEED to look up for the health of your eyes. As far as your neck ummm lean back against your chair or sofa?? We have had our tv above our fireplace for years I can honestly say my neck has NEVER hurt me and I’m 63 yrs old..
Any osteopath or Chiropractor will tell you that it's horrible for your neck to crane up like that for hours. Your head is as heavy as a bowling ball so it's not just an aesthetic thing. Same with phones. Hold the phone up across from your eyes when you use it. I do.
@ lord my tv is only slightly above eye level it not hanging from the ceiling not to mention and osteopath or chiropractor will also tell u it’s not good to look down at your phone or keyboard all day
Scuff marks should be removed using a thick paste of baking soda. A magic eraser will remove paint and then you have a weird spot on your paint. I use to clean houses and it’s the best option.
Kiva, just stumbled onto your video, you can come and redesign my house, I don't have a design bone in my body, no matter how much you suggest, I simply can't😔
Measure your art and then go to the second hand shop. Nobody wants that paint-by-number-on-velvet, but would the frame fit your canvas? There are some great wins out there.
My 1962 Ercol three piece ‘open legged’ sofa and 2 arm chairs has pride of place in my house. I’m not changing them for ‘non-open-legged furniture” because YOU think it doesn’t work. How arrogant can a person be?
I can't understand why it's attractive to have curtain rods show. Unless you have a fancy curtain rod, it looks unfinished. I've been noticing it more and more on decorating videos. It looks off-balance to me. If you don't like a ruffled valance, you could have a tailored valance, kind of boxy and sophisticated. Or a cornice which can be plain or fancy. Bare curtain rods look tacky But aside from that, your video was good to watch to get ideas! Thanks!
A mirror on the mantle that reflects the ceiling is way worse than a TV above the fireplace!! If you live in a regular house- just put the tv above the fireplace!!
For the edges of art: if you have a steady hand, the edges can be painted black, the wall color or a suitable neutral from the art’s colors.
Wow! I’m so glad I found your channel. 54 year old woman here and as soon as I heard you I knew I needed you in my TH-cam life lol thank you thank you. Great channel. Great energy.

Supported curtain rods: sometimes I paint the hardware touching the wall the wall color so it’s not so obvious. It seems to work with certain styles of hardware.
You can make your own curtain rod....Lowes or Home Depot conduit pipe
I made some from PVC pipe once, painted them black, with gold painted racquetballs for finials. Sounds tacky now, but they worked at the time.
I've never understood why anyone would put furniture in front of their fireplace. The fireplace is such a wonderful focal point.
Sometimes they don't use the fireplace or need a space for additional seating. To have a huge section of wall space taken up, whether by a beautiful fireplace or not, isn't ideal.

Not mixing wood tones is obsolete.
You have to it right , though, for it to look good. Ad hoc really doesn’t work is the point I think she’s making.
GrandBlack Piano, I agree as well, . I love the Nancy Meyers aesthetic, and she's very clever about mixing wood tones for that "lived in" look.
