1:10 laughed so hard at reality because it’s pretty much everyone I know around me. I keep telling them they need ones with doors but no one listens to me and they wonder why everything is ugly. Your matching point is so true. My mother loves loves traditional furniture which means EVERYTHING MUST MATCH. the anger it causes me knows no bounds it’s so 90’s and early 2000’s it hurts my heart even if those pieces are actually really amazing good quality. In fact I took out the couch and put it in another living space to break up the set and just that makes it so much prettier. I do need to burn the coffee table…..it’s time is coming I swear. Please do one on libraries! I want to make a small den into a library.
So pleased you popped up in my feed. I enjoy your sense of humour! I'm currently renovating in the UK and soooo tired of Americans with their castle sized homes and double height ceilings...
In my traditional home, we have a fairly large living room with a wood burning fireplace. The only logical and symmetrical place for our tv is above the fireplace. Personally I’d do without the tv there but since I don’t live alone and my husband loves tv it went above the fireplace. Since for us it’s far enough from our sofa we never have to hurt our necks to watch tv. I do understand that spaces that are smaller where the tv is very close to the sofa it would be very uncomfortable to watch. I would love a stunning mirror instead but for now it is what it is 😂
I hate the tv above fireplace look. The tv should be at about eye level sitting. So what we did was position the couch to be able to see the fireplace, tv on wall and look outside in one swoop. We actually decided the room into two seating areas. One for tv watching and the other for entertainment. House builders do not think of practical layouts for how people really live and where they will place their furniture. So we have to be creative.
Hey, I just wanted to say I’m really loving your channel. The way you focus on psychology and practicality in home design is so refreshing. It’s such a good reminder that a home should feel comfortable and work for us, not just look nice. You’ve given me so many great ideas 💡😊
Lovely video very useful! Just a constructive critique from someone who loves youtube interior channels is that you could lose the soundtrack behind your talking. You have a pleasant speaking voice and what you are saying is interesting and insightful and the music detracts from that❤️ subscribed
Thank you so much for the tip! Yes I do think that sometimes I rely to much on background music, as I worry people will get bored 🙈 In my latest video "8 Tips for a Cosy Home" (th-cam.com/video/NzEFxxKVHxM/w-d-xo.html) the volume is quite low and the style of music very chill -- would love to hear what you think about this audio? Thank you ☺️
I am so happy to have found your channel. I am moving cities and downsizing big time in a few months. Your videos are practically addressing so many of my questions. I'll be going through your Playlist. Thank you so much 💖
Your videos are so educational. I appreciate the dedication and time you put into preparing each “lesson” ❤ thank you for the great tips and advise. The only element I would always avoid is a tv in the living room 😊 ❤❤❤
I just bought a place that has five TVs, one mounted on the wall of every room except kitchen and powder room. There is even one in primary bathroom. The builder was a young man with different priorities, I guess. I will be removing some.
Yes! It took me many many years to get the license so I am not giving it up so easily 🙈 although I am focusing on smaller residential projects and not large commercial buildings
Me and my dad have a tv above our fireplace, but it can work. Not all fireplaces are very tall, and our couches are about ten feet away, when paired with the tv being BIG, it actually works and looks great 👍 ❤😊
I hate high tv our one was so high it was like being in a picture theater it was horrible, now taken down and on a chair and so comfortable to enjoy now.
TV over Fireplace: BAD FENG SHUI!! (Double Fire). BIG "No no!!" And.... I always think it's an immediate indication that the inhabitants of the house do not know how to converse (Subtitle: Uneducated).
Yes!!! Overhead lighting makes you TIRED!
I have JUST discovered you and very happy to have done so. You are very funny and intelligent!

Finally! A great interior design tips video that uses metric system! 😂
My brain just does not compute inches and feet 😅
Such a good comment! 😂
I'm also really happy I found this channel!

Right? Yesterday I wanted to ask a window repair man if he would knock the cobweb from our 16' ceiling. We don't own a ladder tall enough🥺
Such great tips Bai Xu! Really enjoyed this one :) also appreciated the Friends clips here and there haha
The TV above the fireplace bothers me so much, I get neck pain just from looking at it in photos or videos 😅
Keep the movies nice and warm 😅
I knowww, I'd be much happier with a normal piece of artwork or a mirror above the fireplace.
If the fireplace is the only focal point in the room, I like the TV above. Detest much more if TV is adjacent and area isn’t streamlined

I'm always dimming lights at my friend's houses, this video makes me feel seen! Such good, practical advice to have a warm, inviting space.
I love these videos. They're unique, and not like anyone else's.

I saw a picture in your background showing the view of small towns in Jiang Nan, China - feels so familiar!
Yes I took that photograph! 🤩
Great advice, thank you!

I just came across your videos .
U have a very likeable personality.
Lovely. All the best for your journey .
Thanks so much!
Thank you for sharing this information 🙂
Did I dream about decorating a new flat today? Literally 😂 I had the feeling I was in a nightmare tbh haha❤
I’ve been wondering when someone was going to call out the TVs being way up high! 😂
Haha we definitely need to talk about this more, it’s everywhere!
I just bought a place that has five TVs, one mounted on the wall of every room except kitchen and powder room. There is even one in primary bathroom. The builder was a young man with different priorities, I guess. I will be removing some.
🙈 oh myyyy. Yes I would definitely remove some too, artwork and photographs would be much more beautiful than a TV in every room...
Well done!
Nooooo open storage! Big on cabinets and drawers! 😂
Low ceilings cripple the space.
Lovely
The furniture round the edge of the room is terrifying, I have seen this, straight back upholstered chairs all around the walls. Empty centre.
You are SO PRETTY❤
☺️☺️
Do you still work as an architect? I use to be curious about that career when I was younger.
Yes! It took me many many years to get the license so I am not giving it up so easily 🙈 although I am focusing on smaller residential projects and not large commercial buildings
Me and my dad have a tv above our fireplace, but it can work. Not all fireplaces are very tall, and our couches are about ten feet away, when paired with the tv being BIG, it actually works and looks great 👍 ❤😊
I loathe open storage, they look cluttered stressful and get dusty plus they breed. Attract rubbish around them.
I hate high tv our one was so high it was like being in a picture theater it was horrible, now taken down and on a chair and so comfortable to enjoy now.
Happy you found a good solution 😊 considering how much time I spend in front of the tv… ergonomics is so important!

好玩儿😊
Put an ACTUAL Painting above the fireplace (and show some class).
But the dancers need space to pirouette without hitting their legs and arms! 🤣Just kidding. Don't let the dancers or musicians do any interior design.
