I currently have every single one of these items in my home now, but I have to admit that sheer curtains are a TOTAL game changer. Which ones can you relate to and which ones can you do without? Lemme know!
With crown moulding and windows 0.5ft lower than that, where do I hang the sheers? Just below the moulding? Will it look weird when they’re open and you can see the wall/gap above the window to the ceiling? Thanks! Currently have white wood blinds and 2 giant windows in my kitchen and one giant window in my front living room. I want to use this tip but not sure how!
I simply love my sheer curtains and use them in all the bedrooms. The one decor item I struggle with is rug selection and the placement thereof. So far I only have one rug in our home because of this challenge. Thank you for the personal photography tip, I will definitely be implementing it.
Absolutely believe in sheer curtains and plants. They are my number one go-to. I typically worry about mirrors because of my boys but I've got one in the passage and its not been a problem so far. I loved this video and these simple tips. Well Done Julie! I hope the girls are faring well!!
Thank you Julie. Thought provoking as always! I have linen sheers all over the house and nothing beats a sheer softly blowing in the breeze. I also appreciate how you give a tip then let the example photos speak for themselves. Very calming and sophisticated. Thank you for continuing to inspire and educate. 👍
I love mirrors on my walls, Ive bought mine from thrift stores at great prices. I love having plants. I love the idea of sheer curtains. I always enjoy your videos and they are very helpful.
My home already full of mirrors!!! Plants we in tropical climate hv to be cautious.. Due to mosquitoes...but plants we tk cr. Outside home... Always... Full of flowers nd greenery.. Therefore... 😊😎
I absolutely love sheer curtains. When the windows are open I purposely close them a bit so they flap with the breeze making my home feel like a little getaway haha. I purchased off white sheers about 7 yrs ago and feel they need a refresh but i can’t think of anything I like better! I’m so glad you used this in your video!!
I've watched this video and I'm like check, check, check... I am so so grateful to you Julie for assuring me that the decor ideas I have for my new home is definitely me making the best choices. Super excited to install them!
I am going to be adding all of them.. I knew I needed for example the lighting but I didn’t know the trick you just described.. I will definitely add sheers as well. My house doesn’t get as much light so I am always purchasing and killing plants 🙆🏾♀️ and the large mirror, just hadn’t seen one I wanted but I will . Thanks so much
You are my favorite! NOBODY does eclectic like you do, you have the perfect restraint on items, and I love how you pop things with color or a texture, like the curtains with the black trim early in this video…….by the way I adore your pink gradient manicure💕…….love the dark hair, too….it’s striking 🌸😊🌸oh and I have sheers everywhere…love them !
I bought a silver Ikea mirror turned it on it's side and hung it over the sideboard; it has made such a difference in my dining room. Same with plants and greenery in the home. I made the mistake of removing the wall sconces in my living room. I hung up a painting recently, and having sconces would take it to the next level. This will be on my to do list. Also on my to do list are new curtains, so will include sheers with the semi-blackout curtains. Thanks Julie for the advise!
The best interior design tips by far! And the illustration pictures are the best looking interiors and very inspirational. You explain the fang shuei principals so clearly ❤
I smiled when you said about your personal photos, and how you replaced that photo of your anniversary (by the way, that photo is beautiful) with the photos of your child. I did the same with my daughters, I wanted big photos of them; but I never replaced my photos with my husband especially in the bedroom. Those photos are my beautiful memories with him. 💕💕
This was a very Interesting and eye opening easy yet effective ideas which will make an impact in our homes making them cosy and inviting. Using a large mirror in the entry way (not facing the door of course) reflects light and is important for that last check before you leave your home. Usually, you see small mirrors used in entry ways, but using a large mirror is a great idea. I love the idea of sheer curtains, but this is hard if you have cats 🐈. Thanks for some fabulous ideas ❤🇨🇦
Great video. Thanks especially q aaa for the wall sconce tip. It’s going to revolutionize my bedside lighting. (Does anybody else find bedside tables way too small? I’ve got glasses, tissues, water and books-no space for a lamp.)
This was a helpful video. I’m going to go through our photos from a fairly recent hike in NM and see if any could be framed and added to our massive stairwell wall.
Hi Julie! Thank you for your amazing design and sharing professional recommendations for the home! I have vertical blinds in my 1969 ranch home and would like to change to ceiling to floor draperies. However, there are hvac vents beneath every window. What do you do in instances like this, aside from trying to move the vents? Thanks so much! Diana
I would not recommend curtains or operable drapery for these windows Diana, it’s a fire hazard. Try custom inset shades or pre-fabricated outside mount shades to cover these windows. They’re modern and the options for color and materials are endless!
Hi. All your content is so inspirational, and you really do stand out amongst the rest! So Question, sofa and accent chair vs sectional , which looks better and more versatile? Also I’ve always had light beige furniture with cream walls, from leather to slipcover. I’ve never tired of the color, I find the creamy whites so soothing. But was wondering if a slate gray sofa against white dove walls would give similar affect? Being that I’m on the market for a new one. What are your thoughts?
No, the gray against white would give you the opposite effect of “soothing” since it’s high contrast. It will feel more modern for sure. Sectionals seat more people since you don’t have a dead corner. It’s really just a preference Camelot 👍🏻
Learning so much, thank you. I have a question, I just bought a home and came with ceiling fans in every room. I don’t know how I feel about the ceiling fans? They are helpful when is very hot but I don’t really like them. I’d love your input on this predicament please.
Watch my video on dated designs that need a major upgrade Luna! Ceiling fans made the list 🙈 I share some great pieces if you’re looking to replace them.
I love the idea of big greenery to ground the corners of the rooms! Love the warmth and organic feels BUT how do you prevent those little gnats?? My husband drives me crazy when he’s constantly complaining of flying insects 🤦🏻♀️
Hi Julie, quick question - how big should a mirror be? Currently I have an empty wall between my sofa and the dining area and thinking of leaning a tall mirror there to make it less bare. Any guide for its size?
Alas, the hot Texas sun means not only do sheers let in too much heat, but I have to go beyond that and add solar screens to help block that brutal sun. But the real reason I can get shears? My young cats would destroy them. What do you recommend for those with cats when you cannot get sheers or other types of fabric curtains (blinds and shutters are the only things they can't shred)? I recently have invested in plants (real and faux) because I learned I do feel happier with them around, and the internet helps me keep the living ones alive. 😂 I plan to get a mirror for the entry, and lamps orv sconces once I decorate my family room. That is held up by the search for couches so we can coordinate everything... Great tips, it was really just the sheers that feels impractical for cat owners...
I love non-woven shades, not only for cat owners, but for wet areas like the laundry room and kitchen as well. Low maintenance while still allowing privacy when needed 👍🏻☺️
Thanks Julie! I love using sheer curtains. It lets the light in, but gives you privacy. I am thinking of hanging a mirror. I think that is a great idea! For a fun decor item. If you live in an area that gets a lot of rain... Put a nice stylish umbrella stand near the front door(put some fun colorful umbrellas in there if you are into color). Or next time you are at a antique store... Or even a thrift store... Pick up a piece of vintage art that would go well with your decor. Change out your decor on top of your fireplace mantel. I like to hang a colorful piece of art that people see when they first walk in the door.
I have wanted wall sconces for years, but there is no attic space for an electrician to get to where I would need the electrical dropped. Thank you for the tip about the battery operated lightbulbs.
Hi Julie, QUESTION...I, too, value and love mirrors, however, how can I place one on the mantel without a view of my ceiling if I can't tilt it forward either? I don't want to put the necessary hardware into the wall above the mantel. I've gained so much knowledge from watching your videos and appreciate the difference I've been able to make in decorating my home. Thank you!
Mirrors above the mantel allow more light to be brought in, whether you’re reflecting windows, a view, or a fabulous light fixture. Consider it more about the space and less about the ceiling Sherrill. Thank you for watching 🙏🏻☺️
@@JulieKhuu thanks so much for your response! I'll work on adjusting my mindset. Even though our living area is flooded with natural light (❤), I have always loved the concept of a beautiful mirror on my mantel.
Hi Julie! This was a great video with wonderful tips. Thank you. Would you recommend sheer curtains in a formal dining and living rooms facing the road?
I'm completely enthralled by this. I recently read something similar, and it was absolutely mesmerizing. "The Joy of Less: A Minimalist Living Guide" by Matthew Cove
I'm wondering if adding sheers over blinds would help with sound absorption. I now have hardwood and quartz countertops. In winter I have a rug in the living room but it still feels hard and a bit noisy.
Hi Julie, thanks again for a great vid. I'm looking out for a large leaning mirror for the bedroom as for dressing yes but also as the bed can't go in the command position as a fixed radiator there in my rental flat so for viewing the door..The sheer curtains look great but I may have to be careful as kerbside and currently have dense nets , which need replacing so I now have options. Cheers again :) * Ahh, just noted that the mirror shouldn't face the door - that's a problem as door to right of bed and mirror was to be in r corner ahead ..in line with the door. Damn.Angle from the l corner I guess :)
Hi Julie, love your videos. I learn so much. Can I ask a question please? Is it ok to hang a gallery wall of family photos opposite a mirror in the entry hallway? (The mirror is adjacent to the door so I got that right, phew!).
Great tips 🙂 - I’m very interested in the remote control light globes - I hope we have them here in Australia 🙏🏻😊 ps I have floor to ceiling sheers on one wall in the master bedroom and dining - so changes the feel of the space - the walls they are on are large with a small window in the middle - I wanted to fill those windows in but better half said no 🤷♀️- but they look great anyway 🙂
Julie, I love this video on tips. I have question . I have a small entry way when you come in my home with Cathedral ceilings along with a antique console table of my grandmothers w/a large mirror over it with a lamp, and the mirror faces my front door. After your comment, I’m thinking I need to remove it totally . I surly don’t want any bad vibes in my home but it looks perfect there & It’s been that way since I move here. What should I do ? Your advice would be appreciated . Love your UTube channel and all your advice . It helps me a lot.
Watch my video on Feng Shui basics and feel it out Linda. I have a mirror facing my entry door, but that’s because I’m trying to reflect some of that energy back out to my private courtyard which is a missing corner of my home. You’ll understand what I mean once you watch that video. Good luck!
Julie help I don't have a dining room and my kitchen is small. It is open to the living room but how do I make my room for dining or dual purpose spaces.
fabulous content, how are you guys doing Julie? I have been so busy at work is not funny but I did change some of the stuff you told us in a video about she. anyways fab
My decor is no longer grabbing the pointless vases, dishes, and typical random decor stuff people use. I'll grab souvenirs, trinkets that tell stories, items from my favorite shows and other subjects that I personally enjoy. Feel like not enough people do this.
Same here. I remember rummaging HomeGoods for vessels and decor, but I’ve since donated those and kept the ones I found at flea markets instead Jordan! They have more sentiment and storytelling 🙌
I have a combo of sheers under blackouts. I close the blackouts when I go to sleep, usually during the day, and open them to let the light in through the sheers. It can be done.
Chemist here: Sheer curtains do not block UV light. Glass [windows], however, will block UV A and UV B--that's why you don't get sunburned in the car with the windows rolled up.
Please do not place a fiddle leaf fig in a corner. This is a tree from western Africa...keyword "tree" it needs bright sun light. Not a dark corner, sure from a design point the tree may look good in that corner, but is not good for the tree. If you are going to have a flf tree inside in less than ideal conditions, please supplement its lighting needs with grow lights, otherwise your beautiful tree may drop all leaves or will have stunted growth etc. The best place for trees is outside.
I like and agree with MOST of your tips, but NOT scented candles! Scented anything, including candles are usually full of synthetic fragrances. For anyone like me who suffers from chemical sensitivities, scents = poison. I cannot be in any space with scent from laundry, cleaning, body care and other scented products because I cannot breathe due to swelling in my airways. These items give me headaches, make me feel like puking, make me dizzy and will often provoke ocipital migraines (migraine headaches that cause psychedelic-like pulsating lines in the visual field). The chemicals used persist long after the product has been used or removed from the space where it was stored. I sincerely wish that the Americans with Disabilities Act would recognize chemical sensitivities as a disability because we as a culture need to eliminate chemicals from our environment for the improvement of everyone's health, including the planet. I do love unscented candles, plants, well placed mirrors, sconces and sheer curtains. Thanks for the suggestions.
I’ll be adding 4 wall sconces. 2 In the living room and 2 at the dining room. I’ve been trying to do this for a long time, and now, after watching your video-I can say that I’m ready for it. Lets go! Thank you Julie! 👍🏻👍🏻
@@JulieKhuu for the Living-room, I picked Zevni Adora 5-in W 1-light black/Brass Modern Contemporary wall sconce, from Lowe’s. For the Dinning-room, I selected Keener Steel Armed sconce by Birch Lane- from Wayfair.
I love all of these but I have a question about those sheer curtains - I live in an 1860 house in a small city. We have large windows. Running along the floor under every (every!) window is a baseboard hot water heater. I can’t have curtains to the floor bc they would cover the heater. If I stop the curtains a couple inches above the heaters I might as well stop at the window sill. Can I only use blinds or shades? There are a lot of people like me out there. What do you suggest?
Love all the tips!!! But would you put sheer in the kitchen windows also? We moved into a home that has blinds that don’t work & I want to take them off especially in the kitchen but not sure if sheer curtains would work???? I’ve been wanting to put sheer curtains in the living room & on our French doors to frame it and now you have just confirmed even more that I should! Thanks 😊
Hi Julie. I received a response to a reply I sent to you regarding your video about a coffee area. It said I had been randomly selected. I did respond but now I. Afraid it was a scam. Please confirm the authenticity.
I currently have every single one of these items in my home now, but I have to admit that sheer curtains are a TOTAL game changer. Which ones can you relate to and which ones can you do without? Lemme know!
I’d love your recc for sheers for 12 ft ceilings..❤️
Decided to have sheers exclusively for our home which felt a bit like a risk at the time but I can’t go back anymore! Love them
With crown moulding and windows 0.5ft lower than that, where do I hang the sheers? Just below the moulding? Will it look weird when they’re open and you can see the wall/gap above the window to the ceiling? Thanks! Currently have white wood blinds and 2 giant windows in my kitchen and one giant window in my front living room. I want to use this tip but not sure how!
Sheers absolutely the best for window treatments. I love them, so versatile and will always have them in my home.
Thanks Jk
Sheer curtains
Wall sconces..
Idea of creating one's own space... To mk it unique
Best idea...
Love the music you used in the background. So calming. Also, I never knew about replacing the lightbulbs in a sconce. Genius!
I simply love my sheer curtains and use them in all the bedrooms. The one decor item I struggle with is rug selection and the placement thereof. So far I only have one rug in our home because of this challenge. Thank you for the personal photography tip, I will definitely be implementing it.

We’re cut from the same cloth Charlotte! Sheers ftw 🙌🏻
I bought a silver Ikea mirror turned it on it's side and hung it over the sideboard; it has made such a difference in my dining room. Same with plants and greenery in the home.
I made the mistake of removing the wall sconces in my living room. I hung up a painting recently, and having sconces would take it to the next level. This will be on my to do list. Also on my to do list are new curtains, so will include sheers with the semi-blackout curtains. Thanks Julie for the advise!
There are battery operated sconces you can install without the need to hardwire Lena! A picture sconce above that painting would be so fab 🤩
I added sheers and hung all the way to the ceiling. They look amazing!
Such a chic statement Jennifer! 🙌🏻

I'm wondering if adding sheers over blinds would help with sound absorption. I now have hardwood and quartz countertops. In winter I have a rug in the living room but it still feels hard and a bit noisy.
No, sheers are not sufficient enough Julia. I would opt for curtains with liner if you’re looking for more acoustic properties
mirrors and plants...my favorites! thanks, jk
Me too! I never install a room without these two Adrienne! 🙌🏻
🌸 Miss Julie 🌸
Didn’t see you for a while .
How are you ?
Wish you & your family well ☘️
We’re awesome Lydia! Glad to see you back ☺️💕
Hi Julie, thanks again for a great vid. I'm looking out for a large leaning mirror for the bedroom as for dressing yes but also as the bed can't go in the command position as a fixed radiator there in my rental flat so for viewing the door..The sheer curtains look great but I may have to be careful as kerbside and currently have dense nets , which need replacing so I now have options. Cheers again :) * Ahh, just noted that the mirror shouldn't face the door - that's a problem as door to right of bed and mirror was to be in r corner ahead ..in line with the door. Damn.Angle from the l corner I guess :)
I love the mirror in the common areas- great for beside entry so you (and your guests) can check yourself out before you come/go. Just a thought!
Madam, do you have a video on conservatories/solaria and porches?
I do Nelson, check my outdoor spaces playlist ☺️
@@JulieKhuu Great, will do!
When will your Wayfair series come out?
I’m collaborating for now Ranissa ☺️
Can you like some great sheer curtains !!!
Yes I have my faves linked in the ultimate guide to window treatments video Sophia! Check the description box ☺️
Oops! My entry has a huge wall mirror mounted right across from the front double doors!!
Try the move and see how it feels Jodie!
Hi Julie, love your videos. I learn so much. Can I ask a question please? Is it ok to hang a gallery wall of family photos opposite a mirror in the entry hallway? (The mirror is adjacent to the door so I got that right, phew!).
I typically like family photos in a more private hallway or family room, but if it feels good to you, go for it Maws👍🏻
Great tips 🙂 - I’m very interested in the remote control light globes - I hope we have them here in Australia 🙏🏻😊 ps I have floor to ceiling sheers on one wall in the master bedroom and dining - so changes the feel of the space - the walls they are on are large with a small window in the middle - I wanted to fill those windows in but better half said no 🤷♀️- but they look great anyway 🙂
You can install the window treatments much wider than the window opening to fake a more expansive space Theresa!
@@JulieKhuu oh that’s what we did - the entire wall is covered floor to ceiling - sorry I thought I’d explained better
Does anyone know who makes the first large wall mirrors? It happens at 2:43 of the video. Very interested in these. Thanks.
Use my Pinterest hack to source it- I made a video to show you how. Check it out John!
Very nice 👌
Thank you for watching Ashjar 🙏🏻☺️
Julie, I love this video on tips. I have question . I have a small entry way when you come in my home with Cathedral ceilings along with a antique console table of my grandmothers w/a large mirror over it with a lamp, and the mirror faces my front door. After your comment, I’m thinking I need to remove it totally . I surly don’t want any bad vibes in my home but it looks perfect there & It’s been that way since I move here. What should I do ? Your advice would be appreciated . Love your UTube channel and all your advice . It helps me a lot.
Watch my video on Feng Shui basics and feel it out Linda. I have a mirror facing my entry door, but that’s because I’m trying to reflect some of that energy back out to my private courtyard which is a missing corner of my home. You’ll understand what I mean once you watch that video. Good luck!
Julie help I don't have a dining room and my kitchen is small. It is open to the living room but how do I make my room for dining or dual purpose spaces.
Watch my small space series Monique. The episodes on dining rooms and small kitchens should help guide you 👍🏻
fabulous content, how are you guys doing Julie? I have been so busy at work is not funny but I did change some of the stuff you told us in a video about she. anyways fab
Thank you Constantine! We’re doing awesome, especially the little one. She’s just the sweetest 🥰
My decor is no longer grabbing the pointless vases, dishes, and typical random decor stuff people use. I'll grab souvenirs, trinkets that tell stories, items from my favorite shows and other subjects that I personally enjoy. Feel like not enough people do this.
Same here. I remember rummaging HomeGoods for vessels and decor, but I’ve since donated those and kept the ones I found at flea markets instead Jordan! They have more sentiment and storytelling 🙌

Can’t do sheer bc sleep during days
I have a combo of sheers under blackouts. I close the blackouts when I go to sleep, usually during the day, and open them to let the light in through the sheers. It can be done.
Layer them under blackouts 👍🏻
Some people can't care for plants, hence a plethora of artificial plants.. Some tips on types, scale and placement would be nice
Check out my video on how to style indoor plants Douglas! Same tips I’d offer whether real or faux 🪴
Chemist here: Sheer curtains do not block UV light. Glass [windows], however, will block UV A and UV B--that's why you don't get sunburned in the car with the windows rolled up.
Most windows have that feature embedded in nowadays Juan 👍🏻 Thank you for watching and sharing 🙏🏻☺️
I’m
Please do not place a fiddle leaf fig in a corner. This is a tree from western Africa...keyword "tree" it needs bright sun light. Not a dark corner, sure from a design point the tree may look good in that corner, but is not good for the tree. If you are going to have a flf tree inside in less than ideal conditions, please supplement its lighting needs with grow lights, otherwise your beautiful tree may drop all leaves or will have stunted growth etc. The best place for trees is outside.
I like and agree with MOST of your tips, but NOT scented candles! Scented anything, including candles are usually full of synthetic fragrances. For anyone like me who suffers from chemical sensitivities, scents = poison. I cannot be in any space with scent from laundry, cleaning, body care and other scented products because I cannot breathe due to swelling in my airways. These items give me headaches, make me feel like puking, make me dizzy and will often provoke ocipital migraines (migraine headaches that cause psychedelic-like pulsating lines in the visual field). The chemicals used persist long after the product has been used or removed from the space where it was stored. I sincerely wish that the Americans with Disabilities Act would recognize chemical sensitivities as a disability because we as a culture need to eliminate chemicals from our environment for the improvement of everyone's health, including the planet. I do love unscented candles, plants, well placed mirrors, sconces and sheer curtains. Thanks for the suggestions.
Julie, thats too much makeup
Wayfair? Oh HE_ _ No!!
Pillows with a child's name on it for $8,000 ? Or lockers for $13,000 ? Does it take a 🧞♂️ 🧞♀️ to figure out what's going on?
I’ve never seen that?! 😳
Love the battery operated idea. Is there one you recommend?? Thank you!
Amazon has a TON, I’ll round em up in the next video! Thank you for watching 🙏🏻☺️
@@JulieKhuu thank you! Your tips and tricks have saved me in furnishing my new home, thank you for always being there!
Thank you
Thank you for watching 🙏🏻☺️
Love the sheer curtain and the mirror ideas. Those will definitely come in handy when I start redecorating my living room.
Ooh can’t wait to hear how you switch it up! 🙌🏻
I’ll be adding 4 wall sconces. 2 In the living room and 2 at the dining room. I’ve been trying to do this for a long time, and now,
after watching your video-I can say that I’m ready for it. Lets go! Thank you Julie! 👍🏻👍🏻
Let’s do it Albert!! Can’t wait to hear what you’ve selected! 🙌🏻
@@JulieKhuu for the Living-room, I picked Zevni Adora 5-in W 1-light black/Brass Modern Contemporary wall sconce, from Lowe’s.
For the Dinning-room, I selected Keener Steel Armed sconce by Birch Lane- from Wayfair.
I love all of these but I have a question about those sheer curtains - I live in an 1860 house in a small city. We have large windows. Running along the floor under every (every!) window is a baseboard hot water heater. I can’t have curtains to the floor bc they would cover the heater. If I stop the curtains a couple inches above the heaters I might as well stop at the window sill. Can I only use blinds or shades? There are a lot of people like me out there. What do you suggest?
I suggest inset mount / light filtering shades for your condition. That will allow you some privacy while still letting natural daylight in 👍🏻
Love your ideas! Could you please share some wall sconces that do not need hardwiring?
Let me work on this video, but honestly they ALL work. Just need to replace the bulb to one that’s battery operated
Love the idea for sheer draperies. Any ideas on where to buy them? Budget friendly!
Try IKEA. They seem to have a good selection and they're budget friendly.
Exactly what Cheryl suggested. IKEA has some fabulous, inexpensive options Anna 👍🏻
I want it all, I may be able to do the sheers now, the rest will have to be over time. Great video
Sheers will brighten up the home in ways that will surprise you Shamall 😍
✨👍✨👍✨👏✨👏✨💖✨💖✨
Love all the tips!!!
But would you put sheer in the kitchen windows also? We moved into a home that has blinds that don’t work & I want to take them off especially in the kitchen but not sure if sheer curtains would work????
I’ve been wanting to put sheer curtains in the living room & on our French doors to frame it and now you have just confirmed even more that I should! Thanks 😊
I like non-woven window shades in the kitchen. It’s easier to clean, especially if it’s by the sink HoneyB
Funny, I just purchased a few beautiful pieces from Wayfair. Heading over to their channel!
Check it out! So many fun episodes!
Hi Julie. I received a response to a reply I sent to you regarding your video about a coffee area. It said I had been randomly selected. I did respond but now I. Afraid it was a scam. Please confirm the authenticity.
It’s a scam Cindy! Do not engage 🙅🏻♀️
