Guilty as charged - no bedside cabinets on the bedroom focal wall! Rearranged the living room within 5 mins though - the wife says thanks!!
I'm learning so much, you are a talented teacher :)
Awesome!! 🙌🏻 So glad these tips helped you! Bedroom next 👍🏻
Ever bonked your elbow or your toe on nightstands?
I will absolutely be watching this again and again. We have a 25 by 25 family room with a large window, great view, french doors on another wall, my husband has a large television caddy cornered and it is majorly fouling up our seating arrangement and we could have much more seating if the focal point wasn't into the corner. We don't have a wall space for the television unfortunately and this is our primary family room. About to start a large home renovation with new floors, furniture, kitchen etc.. and really wanting to get the seating correct and optimized. Your videos are fantastic, thank you!
Also check out the video on maximizing your furniture placement for the living room ALS! Tons of tips on arranging the space with your current conditions and challenges 👍🏻☺️
This video has honestly been the most helpful for me in this series. As I went to college for graphic design, I am already familiar with color theory, and i have spent a lot of time looking at different styles so I don't feel worried about that either. I'm sure it is helpful for people who have not studied in the art field, though! But THIS. Knowing how to get items that are the proper size for a room, I had no idea how to go about doing this. Thank you so much!!
Thank you so much for watching and your feedback Lisette! Love learning which videos help you the most, it’s great hearing how varied interior design issues are! Let me know if there’s anything you might want to see next 😉🙏🏻
Thank you for converting in the metric system!
Greatly appreciated.
Greetings from Europe
Thank you for noticing 😉
I love the series,you break it down so easily and usually here in Africa, some of the things we would think are impossible but they way you put it is very simple and I can try. Thanksa lot Julie.
Try it, play around, style and restyle until you get it right for you! That’s the fun of design. It’s never permanent ☺️
Thanks for generously sharing tips that only designers know!! Watching EVERY VIDEO YOU UPLOAD!! Thank youuu!!
Thank you so much for watching Lyzette! ☺️
I'm going to be moving soon and I'm so glad your videos popped into my feed. You give such practical and easy-to-use advice. Many thanks
Thank you for watching TC! ☺️🙏🏻
I have to say I was worried when you started with a bedroom. We live in a mobile home and its shaped weird but when you showed yours after you would never know that ceiling had that weird shape also before its like the colors drew your eyes to it but now the focal point is the wall colors and the bed. Amazing i absolutely love it. Great use of that funky 70's dresser too. I thought for sure you were gonna toss that but you gave it a new life.
Yes! That’s the job of your focal point, helps direct the viewer away from “problem” areas and onto your beautiful design 🙌🏻
Julie, I get so excited whenever you upload a new video. :) Still, I don't know how many times I've watched this one, I always go back to this because you are the only one who teaches us on how to really measure the entire room to achieve scale and proportion. Thank you for all the videos you create, they are all so informative and helps us create a house we get excited to get up and keep improving on. On your question, what room - it is the living room and dining room and bed room. 😊 Thanks again and God bless!! 🥰
Thank you for watching and the feedback Chris! Much appreciated 🙏🏻☺️
I agree! I saved some of her poignant videos because I am going to have to watch again.
Thanks Julie, I was struggling with the long wall and you came to my rescue 🥰. I appreciate your help
Awesome, thank you for watching Geneve!
My favorite series ever! Thank you for providing this useful information Julie. I can't wait to see what's next!
Thank you so much for following along CR! 🙏🏻
Julie! I wish I could afford to hire you to do my house! You are awesome!
Thank you so much for watching Norma! You have my design tips! That’s the next best thing 😉
She amazing. I seirious need help!
Same here I start to save mine now lol
@@JulieKhuu I love your bedroom so elegant and beautiful
I was just thinking this. I'm overwhelmed because our house is empty with a capital E..... but I know once I start, it will come to me...but I'll rather just bring Julie on board. lol. Even hubby is like how do we get her....teehee 😃 😃 😊
Enjoying the series. Very eye opening. Representing Nairobi Kenya 🇰🇪
Thank you so much Nancy 🙏🏻☺️
Me too from Nairobi
Why this video saved me $: 1) I will forego a credenza to flank my dining table because it won't provide enough space to move chairs, 2) I will have space in my LR for a daybed BUT the art is the focal point so the daybed color needs to receed in a neutral color, and 3) the target size rug for my game room would have been two sizes to small. Rugs aren't cheap to return or replace! TY Julie.
I am so happy i found you. First time homeowner here. Thanks
Thank you for watching Gigi and congratulations!! Let the fun begin 🙌🏻🎊
Hi Julie. I have been following your videos recently. You are doing a wonderful job.
Thank you so much for watching and the feedback Madhu 🙏🏻
Hi Julie!!! I want to let you know how awesome you are and your informative videos have been a Godsend in my new home design dilemmas. I love your design styles so so so much!
I have moved out of my parent's house and into a tiny condo and am having difficulty trying to determine a rug placement under my apartment sectional without it looking awkward due to my space constraints with a light fixture in the corner ceiling...
Hi Judy! I have a huge area rugs video to help you out, it’s in my playlist now. Thank you so much for watching 🙏🏻☺️
Thank you so much for the video!❤️ Couldn't sleep and watching your videos. Came downstairs at 5am and started rearranging my open concept living room.
That’s awesome 👏🏻 hope you love how it evolved Tekuila
First of all, I want to thank you for your advice. I've been thinking about changes at home for some time now, and this came in handy. I see our living room as the biggest problem. It is part of the kitchen and at the same time it is used to enter other rooms, so it is almost impossible to build a cozy sitting area. I have the impression that everything is pressed against each other, but at the same time we need a lot of storage space. I'll do the best I can. Thank you again and I'm going to watch more videos :)
Smaller scaled or less furniture in the living room might do the trick Zuzanka 👍🏻
This is exactly what I needed! Thank you!! 😍
I have a small living room with three walls (the last wall is a pony wall with spindles separating the front door, very 80s). One wall has a large window, the center wall has a fireplace, and the last wall is the only solid wall. We also have a large TV that will not fit on top of our fireplace so designing the layout is very challenging. With a family of five we need our couch and love seat. Any layout ideas? 😬🙏😁
Also, would you consider or have you ever looked at subscriber's photos and given design advice? ❤
I would place the TV on the solid wall, sofa facing the TV, 2 accent chairs flanking the fireplace, and entry console behind that pony wall. I love the idea of a future video dissecting subscriber photos, will let you know when I open this up Belizabeth! 😊
Thank you Jessica, will let you all know in a future when I plan on doing this ☺️
I’m excited about the opportunity to get design help via a photo. I was wondering, my master bedroom which is a nice size, has a tray ceiling (steps up) with a fan/light fixtures that is centered. I feel the bed needs to be centered to the ceiling but after the nightstands I have about 2 feet of space on each side, one side has a built in half wall with storage on one side, the other a nice window with outside view. Is there any way to add a chair somewhere? Also, my bedspread is a nice textured neural, should I look for a picture first before getting drapes or a accent pieces for the bed?
Forgot to mentioned, I love this series! Thank you for putting it together.
Julie you are absolutely fantastic!!!! All of my novice interior choices have been validated by all of your helpful design tips. Thank you so much!!🤗🤗🤗
Yay awesome!! Go with your gut Jolita! 🙌🏻
Julie Khuu Your interior design tips are always on point. I look forward to seeing each one of your videos. I love you!!!❤️❤️❤️ stay safe
Once again thank you so much JK! Loving this series. And I even enjoyed the song too ! How pretty and relaxing
Thank you for watching Stacey! 🙏🏻💗
Your series’ are the Gold Standard of design principles. Thanks!!!
Thank you Kathryn 🙏🏻☺️
Wow 👏 this is video is so content laden. Ill need to watch it again to digest all the bits and pieces. I think out of all the videos in the series...this one has been the most helpful. I can't wait to get shopping.
That’s great to hear Stacy! So glad I can help you create your dream space 🙏🏻☺️
This is proving so helpful as we are planning to give a new look by changing the paint and other items in the house. Can't thank you enough 😘
Awesome! Hope you can use these tips when the time comes Deepika 🙏🏻
Can't wait for your next video! I love your topics and really enjoy seeing the diverse examples you insert into your videos. Usually TH-cam is full of only Farmhouse style examples. Thank you!
Thank you for watching and the feedback Claudia 💕
The more I show, the greater inspiration you’ll get Linda 🙏🏻💕
Hi Julie! Enjoying this series! Is there an online tool you’d recommend for laying out rooms easily?
I’ve heard great things about Plan your room, roomstyler, Floorplanner (have never used them myself since I work in CAD) but these were recommended Jane 👍🏻
Very useful information for my new extension. Thank you Julie.
Thank you for watching Vigitha 🙏🏻
Thank you so much Julie. Out of all the TH-cam designers I’d found before you, you have given me the confidence and practical ‘skills’ to feel able to tackle the furnishing of my brand new apartment. I’m indebted and I can’t wait to binge watch all of your beautiful and thorough video’s.
Aw I love that Lisa! Thank you for watching and stopping by to comment! You made my day 🙏🏻☺️💕
@@JulieKhuu I’m so glad, you’re most welcome 😁. Thank you Julie 🙏❤️
Love your bedroom and especially the color choices.
Thank you for watching Celeste! ☺️🙏🏻
i like the pace of this video. i have enough time to look at the images and connect the tips to the examples.
Awesome thank you so much for your feedback 🙏🏻
Thank you Julie! This is EXTREMELY helpful as we rearrange our furniture. How do you know how long the longest piece of furniture should be in the living room? Also, if the window is the focal point, but you still want a TV, would you face the longest piece of furniture to the window or the TV? Thank You in advance!
You maximize the width of the space you have, taking into consideration the allowances you need to walk around the furniture. If you have both a TV and window, you can place seating that faces both. I usually place the longest piece along the longest wall (sounds like your window in this case). Hope this helps! Thank you so much for watching 🙏🏻☺️
Great series! Learning a bunch of helpful things!
Thank you so much for watching HR! 🙏🏻
We just bought our first home and I have been binge watching your videos. I am learning so much. Thank you Julie!
Congratulations Stacey!! Thank you so much for watching 🙏🏻☺️🎊

Thank you for watching Cynthia! 🙏🏻☺️
Really enjoying this series. Thank you
Thank you so much for watching Donna! 🙏🏻
These tips are great for all the rooms we use most.... dining rm, living rm, bedroom
Yes, once you get the hang of the process, you can apply them to any room of choice Camillia 👍🏻
You are very generous, this was so helpful!
Thank you for watching Celeste! 🙏🏻☺️
Love your videos! So much useful info. I’m applying these tips to my bedroom. Thank you!
Yay! Glad I can help Estrella! 💗
These are such wonderful tips, Julie! I really love the example 2D layouts you included in the video. They were so incredibly helpful. I only wish I had watched this 4 months ago... I think we ended up with layouts that follow your tips, but after much trial and error and time.
Thank you for watching and the feedback Sally! You’ll be a pro when tackling the next space 🙌🏻
I’m looking to buy my first home within the next year and so overwhelmed with all these incredible design tips!! Can you do a video on how to plan designing your space(s)? And also, could you please do a video on home exterior makeovers, especially keeping in mind possible HOAs? Love your videos!!!❤️
With HOA you’re relegated to the colors they provide for you. A good rule of thumb- doors and shutters should be darker than the walls for contrast 👍🏻☺️ Thank you for watching Brianna! Be sure to check out the rest of this series for my complete design process!
Julie, you were right when you suggested I watch this video. I realize now that my dining table and china cabinet are just too big for my space. My layout is almost identical to yours but a little smaller. I think my view is actually the focal point rather than my fireplace and scaling down dining room furniture will make a much better flow. So excited to get started lol. Thank you so much!
Yes 🙌🏻 Awesome, so glad you can determine your issues to correct them Carol!
Thank you for all the tips I love your videos!! Can you do one on plant placement or interior? I have quite a few plants and the placement is starting to become tricky. Much love🤍
Thank you for watching Elaynah! I’ll do a house plant tour for this one 😉
Thanks for all the work you put into the series! I learn something from every single video. Keep it up! 👏
Thank you Anne 🙏🏻☺️

Awesome, so glad I can help Ell ☺️
Julie, I have been really enjoying this series and have learned a lot about designating spaces that has helped me rearrange my home into a more flowing comfortable design. This video is one of my favorite of all because I have always had problems fitting function to size. I like your tips here, but overall, I am still trying to figure out my living room. I live in a 70s ranch style house. I had the wall between the formal living room and the family den taken out to make a more livable space but I still have too many distractions on my walls to arrange the furniture. When you walk into the house you immediately see the brick monsterous fireplace on the back wall with a window on one side and the door to the back porch on the other side. I had the sofa like your idea facing the fireplace, but after 30 years, I just feel that it cuts off the flow into the living area and I want to find a change. Would a smaller sofa to the side make it more inviting? I keep playing with different ideas and haven't come up with anything yet. Still looking for ideas.
Thank you for watching! Size the sofa to the right scale and I would opt for something low back so you can we further into the room. It will open the living area up and be much more inviting! Also remove everything from the walls, designate your focal points, and start strategically adding them back in with intention. You got this 🙌🏻
Thank you for sharing all these incredible ideas.
Thank you for watching Clara 🙏🏻✨
Very helpful thank you so much for that. 🙏
Thank you for watching Eun! 🙏🏻☺️
Excellent!Thank you❤️
Thank you for watching Myra! ☺️
You are amazing, love your delivery and find your videos quite insightful. I’m addicted 😄
Thank you for watching Pooja! 🙏🏻☺️
Doing my first room measurements today, using this as a guide to help me, wish me luck, thanks for sharing! Happy I stumbled upon you :)
You got this Amanda! Let me know if you have any questions 👍🏻☺️
Thank you, Julie, great series. Can you explain in one of your next videos what anchoring of a space means and how it works exactly. I have the feeling that this is one thing that would make a difference for our home.
Yes, I have one coming up on creating focal points as soon as I’m through with this series Maria ☺️
Super, looking forward!
Great tips! Thank you!!!
Thank you for watching June! ☺️
Hi Julie. Great video :-) I have a question: Suppose you have two groups of furniture in a living room (like in the L-shaped room you showed). Do you have a rule of thumb for the distance between these furniture groups? Does it depend on the size of the room (and the size of the groups)?
PS. I like that in the L-shaped room the dining chairs were not placed parallel to the walls. This makes use of the diagonals of the "invisible" square around the table so that there is more room for the chairs (and a smaller rug could be used - if there was one).
I would leave room for passage between two spaces. 48” is generous depending on the condition, but you can probably get away with 36” if the groups are smaller Tommy
Nice work as usual Julie! I like that you said the work "plop"! 🤣
Haha thank you for watching! 🙏🏻☺️
Hi Julie ! I have watched few of your videos from the past couple of days and boy- you are so good. You have educated me ( and still learning) and absolutely love your videos. Subscribing. Love from Australia.
Thank you for watching and the support 🙏🏻☺️
Fantastic series! Very well put together from a learning perspective.
Thank you for watching Rachel 🙏🏻☺️
Thank you so much. Your decorating tips are right on point.
Thank you so much for watching Aida ☺️
Thank you for this tips Julie ! It’s so helpful, just in time for moving to our new home !
Awesome, thank you for watching Maricor 👍🏻☺️
Thanks for great tips. I really appreciate the tips regarding sizing of furniture.
Scale and proportion is everything Tanmay 👍🏻☺️
So helpful your videos. Thanks Julie x
Thank you for watching Joanne 🙏🏻☺️
Thanks Julie, I love this series...you're amazing!
Thank you for watching Coretta! 🙏🏻☺️
I just bought a house, I close next month on the 12th, in a decorating panic I have been going over and over in my head how I am going to arrange the living room, it has a large window, with a not so great view, I was thinking that had to be the focal point. Now I know the longest wall will be the focal point. Thank-you so much, now I can give that merry-go-round of decor rearrangement thoughts that's in my mind a rest.
Awesome, so glad I can help Katheleen! Congratulations on the new home, let the decorating begin 🙌🏻
Hello , I'm learning so much from your videos ! Thanks
Thank you for watching and the support Amira 🙏🏻☺️
I'm really enjoying your videos they have been really helpful thank you so much!
Thank you so much for watching Racquel! 🙏🏻☺️
Just purchased a new sectional w/o a chaise. I guess it's a blessing having a fireplace and a large window? Our TV is above the fireplace and to the right is a large sliding door with additional windows facing an unobstructed view. I just purchased a new L shaped sectional that has a nice corner wedge. The plan is to live on the corner piece lol. This way I can look out during the commercials without hurting my neck.
As long as you can take advantage of the view and focal point David 🙌🏻
Love this video! Definitely jumped in browsing furniture without properly sizing out the space first 😅 I've always struggled with proportion and ratio, so thank you for the tips! I used this video + a combination of online articles to figuring out what size couch to get and how far to place it from the fireplace/TV. I really want to try and get the most ergonomic set up possible, especially since the most logical place to put the TV was above the fireplace, in order to keep the focal point of the living room.
Thank you for watching Peaches! I’m not a fan of the TV above the fireplace myself since I feel like it detracts away from the focal point and causes you to strain to watch it from a lower vantage point than if the TV was on a console or mounted on an adjacent wall. But if it works for you, I’m glad to hear this video helped! 👍🏻
@@JulieKhuu I agree! I am almost considering putting it on the opposite wall but and conflicted as to whether that would make the room feel less "open".
Thank you so much for sharing your experience and knowledge with us. We are building a home and my living room will have both a fireplace and a view. I am trying to decide if I should make the view the focal point or the fireplace.
Whichever holds more value to you Kimberly ☺️
Hi Julie! I’m studying ID for my tiny bnb project (26sqm). Scale and proportion are what I’m struggling with right now. I love all of your videos but this is my favorite. Maybe you don’t do it often but I hope you also make content for tiny spaces.
Your channel elevates my taste level. Warm regards from the Philippines!
Thank you so much for watching and your feedback Ryan! Mastering scale will make future projects much easier 🙌🏻
My so-called dining room. The whole house is small, but the dining area is especially cramped because it also functions as a pathway to the deck and backyard. That means that the already valuable square footage is at a high premium. I need a built-in bench along one wall so that the traffic flow can also be space to move chairs in and out from the table, and I need chairs that fit under the table snugly.
We bought a house with L-shaped open concept space. I planned the perfect kitchen into it. I love the kitchen. The problem was the dining table. Originally wanted a new bigger table to seat 8 people (guests +us), which just didn't fit. It felt lost in space and too cramped at the same time. Solution was to give up on having everything ready for formal dining and pushing one small side of the table against the wall. Now it is a perfect space for our everyday needs with a great focal point on the wall. The dining area feels well ankered in space, the views have improved as has the free space to walk around the table. Still in need to fix the placement of (ceeling) light accordingly. I might go with a candle holder or a puck light solution on the wall instead.
Awesome Marina! Sometimes we get so stuck on one look we can’t see the potential for the space to evolve 🙌🏻 Moving the light is so inexpensive! My vote is to get it done professionally, should cost you more than $200 for the simple move 👍🏻
Hey Julie! How to style/furnish long narrow space (functions- living + dining area).
Your videos are amazing! I've learned so much about interior design that helped me solve problems in my space ❤️😊
Awesome Milana 🙌🏻 It helps tremendously to break your space up into zones with dashed lines (like I did in this video). The shape of the room will become clearer, then figure out your focal points and place furniture accordingly 👍🏻
Such helpful and easy to understand information👍🏻
Thank you for watching Jan! 🙏🏻☺️
This was such a useful video! Omg this is exactly what my concern is regarding my bedroom. I want cozy...not cramped lol.
Maximize that wall space Niki! 🙌🏻
Awesome, awesome advice!
Thank you so much for watching Robyn! ☺️
💖 thank you, love your videos
Thank you so much for watching Lorraine 🙏🏻☺️
Julie - great videos! Can you please do something for small spaces? I'm in London and struggle with fitting it all in to one space
Hi Areeba! I have a small space video, it’s in my playlist ☺️👍🏻
Hi Julie, I really enjoy your videos. My husband and I just bought a new home and I am currently struggling with the scale and layout of my livingroom. Thank you for this video, I hope I can make it work now. Best. Lia
Drawing it out always helps to visualize what to do next Lia! You got this 🙌🏻
@@JulieKhuu Thank you ❤
I really enjoy watching your video..great help to my journey creating my space..Thank you Sensei( meàns teacher) ..keep it up.!!!
You’re welcome 🙏🏻 Thank you so much for watching Imelda!
Hi Julie, I have been staring at my bedroom design since I moved into my home and this series turned on the light bulb! My nightstands are too small. I have a really expansive luxurious oil rubbed bronze contemporary upholstered hadboard farmhouse-style bed (boy that was a mouthfull). Nice bed linens but I have ridiculous IKEA Malm nightstands. Now I know it's time to upgrade. I will be looking forward to your next video in this series to see where I can source these! Much love to you! Thank you for your expertise and commitment to design.
Thank you for watching Sharon! Measure the space first and max it out to balance out your bed. Happy shopping! 🙌🏻☺️
This is the best video with which we can we can design our house..
Yay awesome 👏🏻 thank you for watching Barata 🙏🏻
This series has been so helpful and inspiring! I have only recently been looking into design and how to make the place I live feel like home. I live in an apartment with my husband and we recently decided to clear out our place and kind of start over in terms of furnishings and the look of our home. Since we live in an apartment, there is not a lot we cant do. However, we wan to use our space better and make the apartment feel less cramped. This is especially true for the living room. This video in particular helped me realize part of the issue is probably the wrong size furniture for the space. The biggest struggle I have is we are both gamers. We have 2 TVs and 2 of multiple consoles. Do you have any tips for how to make something like that work in small spaces?
Thank you for watching Lena! Function is your main purpose in this case so a comfortable chair and surface space for both of you is essential. Maybe share a sofa and flank another accent chair for guests on the side if you have room
Great content, Julie! Thank you!
Thank you so much for watching Laura! 🙏🏻☺️
Maximize sidetables by my bed! Great tip. Thanks
That’s the best way to make your bedroom appear larger as well! 👍🏻
Great content as always I have a open concept living room and think I need to add more seating but scared it will look cluttered also having 20 ft ceilings in my living room is a struggle finding things to scale that doesn’t cost a small fortune 😂
If the scale is right and you specify low back seating, it will never look cluttered Okeidra!
This is great. I have been struggling with what to do with my open concept living and dining room. I love the idea of making that entire long wall the focal wall, because my previous ideas broke up the space too much. I want to put my dining table against the wall though, can I do that against a focal wall?
Sure, if that works best for your layout
Thank you Julie for such quality videos! I love your style! I am learning so much and especially like the examples of various settings from different perspectives, to get a real sense of the space. This episode really speaks to me! I am inspired! I'll be moving my sofa and other seating area to capture my fireplace as the focal point in my living room. :) One thing I really find challenging is how to gain more light into such a dark living room...I am in a two story townhouse. So, the downstairs has no natural light, other than one side of french doors, whereby natural light does not reach into the central part of my living room...sometimes it feels like a cave and I have to turn on all the lights during the day. I would appreciate any tips on lighting. Or perhaps future videos may cover this problem? ❤️
Layering lighting will be the solution in this case. Wall sconces, table and floor lamps... I have 2 lighting videos in my playlist now for inspiration 👍🏻
@@JulieKhuu Thanks for the suggestion on layering! I will also check those videos out!
