- After the holidays, my home was ready to be taken from drab to FAB and I must say… I’m so glad to have everything feel fresh, updated, and fabulous! Whether you just need a little home refresh or are looking to make some incredible, but simple changes these tips are for you!
✨Comment below and tell me what you’ll be refreshing in your home next?! ✨
|| T I P S T O R E F R E S H Y O U R H O M E ||
1. Lighting - think outside the box and rearrange your light fixtures or add new ones if there is an opportunity to do so. If you don’t have smart plugs, I highly recommend adding them!
2. Add Pillows and Throws - they add so much texture, color, and completion to your space!
3. Add Area Rugs - you'll be surprised by the difference a simple rug can make.
4. Get Creative with Your Furniture Placement
5. Add Art to Your Space - look at the shape of space you have available and choose a piece of art that matches. Also, bring in color from the rest of the room to make your home cohesive.
6. Add Plants and Trees - whether you have a green thumb or a local plant service, adding greenery makes your home feel lively.
7. Accessorize - without going overboard, add personal style to your space by layering colors and texture.
8. Bonus: Don’t forget window treatments!

I'm 34 and found you while in high school and begged my parents to let me study interior design. Of course they said no so I've worked the last 15 years in accounting. Today I enrolled in interior design school bc of you. I'm addicted to symmetry, scale and quality in a room and I learned from you! Keep on posting!
That's incredible! Good for you for pursuing your passion!!!
Congratulations and your learning from a terrific teacher too. 👍👍👍
You will love it!
As a fellow accountant, I am able to pick up a lot from Rebecca as she emphasizes symmetry. Accounting is all about balance, symmetry, and form. I would personally expect that your years in accounting will give you some foundation in design. When I went back to my school for a PhD (in accounting, of course!), that calculus that was so hard when I was an undergraduate, was so much easier. I had just spent 15 years in accounting doing "word problems"! Best wishes for your new adventure.
Omg! My mom said the same - no - and I went into accounting! Biggest regret of my life. 58 and still love design!!! Rebecca is the best teacher.
Congratulations Rebecca 15 years of self made content and you're still here, there isn't any TV shows that last that long, hell some marriages....points is you're still relatable and relative and that's something to celebrate. Thank you for your content and positivity.
Hater comments are just jealousy. Your decorating is amazing. Thank you for sharing all of your fantastic tips.
Hi Rebecca, I’ve grown older with you - fancy that! 😂
I believe you are one of the few people on TH-cam, that I have come across, who has explained TH-cam algorithms: e.g thumbs up, notifications, ads etc. Due to this I always “like, subscribe and notify” myself for your new posts. I’ve left comments on most of your posts (positive ones) and I’ve even left all your videos playing whilst I’m off doing other things (including ads). It’s my way of reciprocity your generosity over 15 years. Congratulations BTW.
PS: When I play your videos I have to wear headphones as you set off my Alexa 😂🤣
I love how you say this is from Amazon or Home Goods so the rest of us can sigh a breath of relief that it's doable for the budget-conscious! your designs are brilliant - and learning the whys and hows make watching your channel so worth-while!
Rebecca, I Iove your tripod lamp! It's unique and handsome.
The word you were looking for was surveyor. Surveyors measure land, locate boundaries, make maps, etc. They use those tripods to hold their transits.
Purveyors sell things, including groceries, rugs, antiques, and lamps. 😊
You continue to be an inspiration. You exude such energy and enthusiasm and beauty! Thank you for boldly being yourself! ❤
LOOOL When you said "Alexa, turn on downstairs" - She (Alexa at my house) said, "sorry I didn't find a group or devise named downstairs"!!!!!!!
😃😂😜
15 years? And I just found you a few months ago! Thanks for the joy and ideas you bring!!!!
"zipper side down, on, karate"...yup I've learned something I will never forget! Nice vid Rebecca, tfs 🤩
Congratulations on 15 years! Here's to 15 more!
Anyone noticed the assistant has a cross in his haircut? So neat ! I learned early to ignore the haters and keep moving and shaking. Love you , Rebecca. I love how much fun you have in your space . I never thought about moving wall decor around , but I will now. I love the way you decorated the ladder by laying the pieces opposites of one another on each step.
From drab to fab. RB you are an excellent designer. First step is lighting .
Rebecca. I think you’re so good at this. Honestly. You just get better and better. Unsubscribed when you were working with your daughter as it felt you were holding back. I now have re followed and can’t get enough of your videos. 😊
I'm celebrating your 15 years on TH-cam by spending $1500 on replacing light fixtures that were never right for our home and window treatments for the master bedroom. We've lived here 15 years. It's time!
I restyle my small condo about 4 times a year, or every season. And every time, I think that it’s the most fabulous ever and can’t be improved on.
Thank you. Your three series on "design mistakes"' deserve an Oscar especially because you showed us how to it on a budget I.e scaling, symmetry, rearranging, etc😍. I am not even a designer and my house is now FAB. May your cup overflow with blessings
I love putting up Christmas decor. I love it more taking it down. A calm comes over me.
I’m in love with your videos and your house … your style!!! Oh my goodness I can’t stop watching
Thank you, Rebecca! You are doing a great job. I have been doing interior design for 50 years. I noticed how little was shared by other designers in professional organizations. You share everything. Better than therapy!!!!
One of your signatures: white draperies. The white out effect. So clean and wonderful. Especially with your wood/stain window casings. Perfect!
There are a lot of things I don’t care for on TH-cam, but I just can’t understand why folks feel like they must say something negative when all they have to do is move on!🤷♀️
I for one am thankful for your help in making our homes beautiful. Even if your taste isn’t everyone’s cup of tea, the rules are still effective in whatever style we choose to do. You have something for everyone!
Thank you for your time and effort, I appreciate you and your team!
You are an expert sharing beneficial details. I loved how you changed around decor in your home without going to the stores.
Oh, how I look forward every week to hearing your design tips, and all the fun and laughter you bring with it is a bonus ❤. Here's to 15 more years (at least) on TH-cam! YOU are the best!!!
And still you look young, elegant and very bright with a big sensor of humor!!!!
Who could hate?? Love your design and how you make it doable for real ppl. These other videos with such expensive fabrics and custom everything are just impossible for most of us. Thank you Rebecca❤
I am too back in 2008 a TH-cam member. I subscribed to your channel near that year and have been following you since. I have learn a lot from your decors and designs and trully been amazed with your projects the total transformation and improvements. Cant believe that it has been almost 15 years😅
I "thumbed upped" a lot of the below comments, so what I am going to personally include is "thank you for sharing your beautiful talent!! Blessings!!!😍
I have enjoyed all your videos for 15 years!
Every time you said " Alexa" she answered in my house! Too funny! Great Video, Rebecca. I find inspiration in almost all your videos and love the way you break down all the design tips so that we can all use them in our homes.
Mine too! Got a great chuckle out of it because she just couldn’t figure out what to do. Great video and inspiration.
LOL Nancy... I always forget about that when I'm filming. So sorry hon :-) RR
My Alexa also tries to answer to Rebecca demands. lol
Your designs are absolutely beautiful. Been following you now for years and remember some that you did for clients. Your home in this video did not disappoint either. Thanks for the tips.
Hi there, I have been really enjoying all of your videos. I wanted to share that I spent over a year designing a home that I love that my son wanted to build for us on his property. This was going to be my forever home and we loved the way it turned out with all black trim in lodge style home on 16 acres of property . A year later, because of many conflicts we have decided we need to leave the property and now are pretty devastated to loose my dream home. I am watching your videos now to get inspiration to move on to what I’m afraid will just be a lower level rental for awhile but hoping to be able to turn even that into a beautiful peaceful place for my husband and myself. We love to entertain and want something that is unique.
No overpowering or loud or unnecessary expensive items to decorate your style is totally based on personal style that everyone can easily achieve once we learn to balance and execute thanks for sharing your home is looking awesome and cosy all the furniture placements are just perfect
Wow! Congratulations for the 15 yrs ... I'm giving you 15 👍 for that .....God bless you more .....
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
OMG -- you have the M. Bed I want soooo B-A-D-L-Y! 😍
Then the 4-chair radial grouping and that painting you moved to your kitchen...Ooooh and the window treatments soooo "UP'd" that room! 👍
FAB, indeed!...
TY, RR, and Happy YT Anniversary!...Ciao
How could you have any haters!? I love you. Thanks for sticking it out.
No hater comments from me! Always look forward to your new videos, but love watching all the oldie, but goodie ones too!
💚 you Rebecca. It's a "surveyors" tripod for mounting a transit. Antique transits built of brass and cast iron are becoming obsolete, so grab the wooden tripods wherever you find them. The wooden boxes the actual transits are kept in are especially well crafted small wooden containers worth using as a tabletop accessory too. Even the transit itself is a curiosity worth displaying if you see the beauty in complicated mechanical items. I had mine on display until I did away with my library wall to avoid the dusting. 😘
Happy birthday.I am 62 ,63 this year we start the same time I now hav 684 subscribers.so that makes me day.
You are one beautiful, smart lady and I am very thankful for you!
When I was as a young teenager, I had an interest in interior decorating. I stenciled my closet. I ordered a home study course, but couldn’t get into doing it on my own without classroom instruction. Since then, I continued to have a passion for it my whole life. Now at 72, I call myself a Home Decorator wanna be. Just shows, it’s best to follow your passion as it never goes away. Stick with it. And Rebeccas’s You Tube Channel is the best!!!!!
I have a tripod like that that I inherited from my father. It belonged to his father. I have taken it apart to make a lamp, but I need the creative inspiration to take the time to do it. I appreciate seeing it as a lamp because it is absolutely gorgeous and does inspire me to make the creative time for it!
Here’s to 15+ years of doing what you love while inspiring others ❤
Love you….. you are so much fun and I have to tell you I think you could be on Broadway with your singing voice and your vivacious stage presence.
You are getting prettier every year….being a grandmother really becomes you….I REALLY LOVE WHEN YOU SING….YOU HAVE A GOD GIVEN TALENT…. THANKYOU FOR EVERYTHING ….I share you with all of my friends. One thing……why why why do you turn your books backwards…..please tell people not to just have one curtain panel at the end…it drives me crazy…and when they have two windows together they don’t put a panel in the middle. You agree !!!! I love you. Hugs from carolyn in Columbus ga. I will be 70 in may…..I am like you. I shop my house before I get anything new!
You were my very first YT interior designer and remember dreaming of incorporating your tips in my future first house and here I am, finally have a house to decorate my own. I'm taking the slow route by curating what I really want as opposed to just filling it stuff.
Decorating for Christmas in September is the norm in my part of the world.
I'm from the Philippines and as many would know, we celebrate the Christmas season beginning September until the 1st week of January or until the Three Kings.
I've been following you on TH-cam for the last 10 years. I'm 32 now. I've ALWAYS loved watching your videos and I love your taste for decor.
First your home is absolutely beautiful. I agree and love shopping within your home. Changing out decor from room to room, rearranging furniture does make a room look fresh, different. And last but not least plants and window treatments, two thumbs up. Rebecca you are amazing and fabulous. Have a blessed day.
Wow, 15 years! Good for you 👏
I'm so glad you came to youtube, Rebecca because your personality is so infectious and your style and design is admired by so so so many people around the world. Just the other day I was watching a popular designer and while she was teaching us about creating a door hanger, she mentioned your name as a reference point, and my jaw dropped because I thought she was famous and here she is speaking of you as a reference to what she was speaking about. I started laughing out loud like I knew you personally and I was so proud and yelled out "You better go ahead, Becky! The world knows your name"! I just love you❤ You have brought so much joy to my heart, Thank you, Thank you, Thank you for being you!!!!!!!
Wow Dawn. What a nice message you have left here. I’m humbled at your kind words. Thank you so much for being such a loyal and faithful follower. Means more to me than you know. I appreciate you taking the time to leave me this comment. Hugs to you sweet Dawn 🥰 RR
@@rebeccarobeson1 Oh wow I never dreamed you respond to my comment. I know you must get thousands of comments. I'm so humbled by your response. I will always support and defend you every chance the good Lord gives me the opportunity to do so. You are indeed a rare gem in God's creation. Thank you for your beautiful response.
❤❤your attitude
So glad to see the added component of plants. They are a bonus texture and such variety.
I like the idea of changing things up, but watching you do this feels like I'd be moving all over to me!
Happy Birthday! This is my 65th year too but, I am not a fabulous TH-cam content creator. Thank you for all you do to help your fans and never stop doing what you clearly have a tremendous talent and passion for RR-Your energy is infectious!
Well now here some affirmation for you Rebecca….you look amazing at 65!!!! And love your beautifully styled home also.👍🏻
I have the same color pallet throughout my home and I’m the queen of moving things from room to room …especially at Christmas. I’m very visual and if my husband catches me sitting quietly ‘just looking around’ he knows something is about to get moved …as I’ve already envisioned the move 🙃. Thanks for all the great ideas 🥰
Oh my goodness, I do that too!😊
Verbal affirmation 😂 love your channel
Anyone who hates on your designs has to be jealous of your exceptional designs! You are great!
Your home is stunning. I can’t imaging anyone who would find any faults with your home or you. Rebecca you have the best personality. You are one of my favorite to watch because you are so entertaining and full of knowledge. You have help me so much with my home. Thank you for being you....hugs my friend
Was so glad to hear your thoughts about window treatments. Curtains or drapes add so warmth to a room I love it.
Can we have the amazon drapery link!
Glamour on classic longevity.
Fabulous design! My only suggestion is make sure all of the first floor spaces are handicap accessible. If I have learned anything in nearly 40 years as an RN, it’s ‘Prepare For The Future Now’.
I’ve been here since 2012💚 Looked up the best way to decorate a Christmas tree, and there you were, Rebecca!! Thank you, from Queensland, Australia xxx
I LOVE IT! LOVE REBECCA'S STYLE AND EXPERTISE.
Love your videos! No hater here❤️I’m enjoying your Design Sessions. Thank you!
Congrats on 15 years on youtube! You don't look 65 at all. You act and look so much younger.
15 years and this is the first time that I've seen you. Love your ideas. I'm constantly moving stuff around,just like you.
I’ve watched two of your videos so far, and I really enjoy your company and style. Thank you.
🍹Congratulations on 15 years on TH-cam and Happy early birthday🎁🍾🍷
Our bedroom is also cream, black and touches of gold. It's classic. Having a bedroom you love is so important - it's the first thing you see in the morning and the last thing at night. Make it a room you love.
Love your idea of having lamps that can be changed around to freshen up your look. Your book shelves look magazine ready. Me? No. I'm a reader, so my shelves are filled with books I have read. But, I do accent them with family pictures, and little trinkets, here and there, that are special to me. Love your idea about a plant service, and plan to look into it. I don't have an eye for plant placement in the open spaces in an Arizona home. Thanks for shaking up my design ideas.
Rebecca ROCKS!!!!!🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤. Excellent interior designer!!! I love her work, her tips, and her advice!!!! Thanks so much!!!!!!
I feel sorry for the haters!! They don’t know what they’re missing out. I loved the tips you gave. You’re always so good about explaining why you do things you do. I have learned so much from you and Sharah. Im always trying to see how I can make it look better but on a budget. Slowly it’s coming together. I’m always looking for new videos I. The design sessions as well!! Lol 😂 I love everything you guys do!
Thank you for sharing.💞 I enjoy reading the comments left by others as well as watching your channel. 👍🏻
Lol why did you bleep your age, your fabulous, you look amazing, be proud of what ever number it is!! Thanks for sharing your talent with us all!!❤
I LOVE that raw piece of wood used on the coffee table!! This room is so COZY!!
I’m not sure when I started watching your videos... probably around 2009 or 2010. It doesn’t really matter because I immediately binge watched everything prior to when I found your channel! It has been such a pleasure enjoying your beautiful talents, fabulous personality and getting to know you and your lovely family all these years. Not only have you spread your joy to your clients but also consistently to over a million viewers week after week! That’s an awful lot of joy to offset the handful of cranky pants! Brava! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Congratulations on your upcoming TH-cam Anniversary/Birthday! 🎉🍾🥂💗💗💗
Thankyou for the 15 years you've done, sharing your home and life.
I love Fine Art America! I feel so validated 😊
I have a huge office and the dual desks are up against the longest wall and you see it when you come in. I didn't like the vastness of the huge oriental rug so I purchased two skinny but wide two sided book cases and put them next to each other (they looked like one long custom piece) and it filled the space so nicely. I just want to say I would never have thought of that creativity without your inspiration :) Thank you for these videos, you and your lovely daughter are so talented.
I think I have been following you for 15 years! Your daughters and sons first place, your daughters marriage and children, home in San Diego and now Tulsa. I can relate to you in many ways as I was a PK and love home design and about the same age. We moved around a lot growing up and my mother always made our house a home even though we never owned a home until I was in high school. 😃We now have homes in Maui and Oregon, which is a dream come true! I have refreshed our Maui home and looking to remodel in Oregon. We too are wondering whether to build or remodel out existing in Oregon. I will be sending you some photos from our Maui and Oregon homes. Planning to have the hour or two with you soon. Much love. ❤
I love your design. No one better!!!!
Your tips are so helpful and for those of us who are visual learners, the examples are crucial. You are a good teacher, a fun person and a delight to watch. Thanks for sharing.
Your house looks beautiful! I love all the green plants 🪴
Rebecca, I love your spark and enthusiasm, talent and whimsy. I am a design sessions member and my home is slowly moving from comfortable to lovely. Thank you for sharing with all of us.
Love you, Becky!
I still see a surveyor’s tripod similar to yours, currently being used. They are a work of art!
Agreed 👍🏻 RR
Happy Birthday!!! I hope you have a wonderful year! 🎉🎂🥂🙏❤️💐🥰 lots of love and hugs!
I LOVE! LOVE! LOVE! UR entryway lamp!
You are amazing! It’s a surveyor lamp! My Dad was a surveyor. He would of thought that was a great lamp!
✍️Who dares to say something negative about you, about your work here on TH-cam? More than a million people who are subscribed to your channel LOVE YOUR WORK and much more your personality. I ADMIRE YOU SO MUCH REBECCA and I have respect and affection for you.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Omg she’s done it again, 🙄 here I am at night watching this from my bed ….. and once again Rebecca has made me get up at ten o clock at night , because I have seen the way she has placed things , and I am thinking I have that ,and the way she has placed hers looks better LOL 😂 so down stairs I go and move stuff around AGAIN 😂😂😂😂😂 NOTE TO SELF a only watch in daytime hours 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂❤️LOVE YOU REBECCA ❤️
15 years I can’t believe I just found your channel. ❤ you!
Congratulations on your 15 years!🎉
You are a fabulous woman and designer. I love your home decorating style. You are a joy to watch on TH-cam.
Thanks for the tips and inspiration. I’m very much into minimalism however I’ve discovered my style through watching these videos. I like symmetry, clean cut spaces but I love warmth too. I see how o can inject that into my living space without over cluttering(which triggers my anxiety) and best of all I can keep things clean and dust free without spending hours and hours on it.
Honestly Rebecca, I thought it was only 12, but maybe thats just how long I"VE been watching you. ;)
I have been watching for about 15 years. Thank you, Rebecca and congratulations.
Lol! You make me smile. While watching this video. I thought to myself this woman could also do fashion videos! I love your style. And there is a good possibility of Broadway, with your singing voice and theatrics ;)
You always make me laugh😅 your humor 🎉 and your lovely house, can't wait to see the new addition , it's perfect❤
Fine Art America is a great source - you can get art from a myriad of talented people.
👍❤ every day, all day😊
