Hey Guys! SO EXCITED to finally be talking about the MUST HAVES in the decor area...this is likely the first of a series, so let me know what you think in the comments below. and if you LUV it, please remember to share, so we can get more fun stuff happening. And don't forget to drop in at lisaholtdesign.com and sign up!
Love that you show the designer look then advise where to get pieces at reasonable prices. It’s like you think we could all do what you do. You’re groovy. 😊
Thank you for your video. I kind of felt in a slump moving into fall this year. You gave me a lot of great ideas to give me a push. I definitely love the fruit in the bowls, a bowl of soaps in the bathroom, and I love the ideas of flowers in the bedroom. I am inspired now, and tomorrow I'm going to dig in and do little changes around my home. Thank you! 😀
First of all, Lisa- I do love your channel here, you come up with a lot of valuable advise and ideas- many thanks to you! BUT you asked for comments! I also have a huge issue with buying books by color just to decorate with! I knew someone who did this and I came away from her house thinking she was incredibly superficial and mindless! And the coffee tables you show are so cluttered up no one could use them to put anything on- very impractical just to get a certain look. Don't put bowls of fruit just to get the color- if you are never going to eat or use them. Get colorful bowls instead and maybe put things you are actually going to use, like onions or potatoes that you don't want to put in the frig, or coffee pods, or napkins, etc.
Two things: I got right up and tried to rearrange a few things in my kitchen (during the video), and DON’T buy books collections by color! LOL. I’m in publishing and I hate that idea! Buy books that you want to read or look at, and keep. Enjoying someone’s library of books that reflect their interest is much preferred than one that just looks good. 😉
I agree!! Don't belittle books to "color accessories". If you want to sort existing books you love by color, that is fine, but turning the bindings back and treating them like mindless decor is so sad. That sad, if it's only what keeps books being bought, I'll be fine with it.
No need to buy books by color, you can group buy color. I have a zillion books, I’m an author, and have author friends, so I literally have hundreds of books, many are signed, when I arranged them by color, it looks fabulous.
I so agree and if you don't read: don't put books in your decor!!! Your home should reflect you as you are, not a fake idea of you!!! Even with all my books I would never coordinate them by colour: the idea is ridiculous, tacky...
I could never do the books by color thing either, because I have real books I want to display and it just isn't me. Plus I have a maximalist colorful palette of contrasting colors, and I can play with my books and make them work for me. Still it is a legitimate design choice for people who don't collect books or want a real collection. I was helping a friend with her shelves and I recommended she just buy for color which she did and it worked out beautifully. Just check those titles and a bit of content, to make sure there is nothing embarrassing and against your family values.
You know what would be good? I don’t have a house where I have floor to ceiling ocean views and 22ft ceilings. I think it would be really beneficial to see you style a room that is just a box. I love your style and think you’re amazing! Thanks!
Check out my small spaces video! Most of the time my goal is to help you guys get the best "look" you can regardless of the size or your budget. The suggestions hold true regardless. You just have to know where to buy from and what you're looking for. Thanks for watching!!
Lisa Holt Design totally not criticizing. I genuinely recognize your artistry. I have a 90s track home that I try to apply good design but I’m always stuck when trying to give a track home a custom look.
I know I have several Clients that have the 90’s tract. Paint is your friend! Also, I’ll be diving deep into these topics in the club, so be sure to sign up at LisaHoltDesign.com
EXACTLY! That is what I suggest to many clients! The books by the foot clients are for larger estates who have huge giant shelves to fill, and I thought it was an unknown resource for most people, so I mentioned it. Thanks so much for watching and commenting!
I had an English professor in college who said that people can comprehend faster than most people can talk and that is why people get bored listening to a lecture. He said studies prove people retain more if the speaker keeps up as faster pace. I believe it.
I love your high energy. Just as you said bracelet, necklace, and shoes make the outfit, your high energy, knowledge, and great picture examples make your channel outstanding! 💕👍👍🤩
Awww Sheila this is just the SWEETEST comment!!! 💕💕 I LOVE hearing that you guys can tell how much FUN I have with this channel...making these videos and getting to chat with you guys are the best parts of my week!!! 😘🌟 SO glad I can share a little bit of the design love - thank you for the kind words!!! 🥰💚
At 70 I have been collecting ethnic art, textiles and things I love and inherited all my life. I've always had open shelves and fill my kitchen with old Mexican bowls, Mexican banks in the shape of fruit etc. Because I have too many textiles I simply fold them stacked and they look so beautiful. Old wooden bowls from Lombok look great in every room. My point is that if you buy what you truly love it never goes out style and goes with you wherever you move. We are moving to a fairly large condo with old Italian gold fixtures and chandeliers which isn't my taste but I love the challenge of incorporating my things into a new space. Enjoy your channel and enthusiasm !
The books by color thing is like art from Ross (or if you have $ having a designer pick out your art- you have no connection to it. Seriously, imagine being at someone's home and looking at their bookcase and seeing an interesting title. "What's this about?" "Oh I don't know I just bought it for the binding color."
Thx Lisa. I really like your style and I haven't found anyone else that lines up this close with what I like. Keep these coming even if it's the same subject with different images.. it's so enjoyable to watch.
Jeannie!!! You got it!!! 👏🏼 I definitely will be posting more of these on the channel in the future!!! I actually will be posting a video tomorrow morning about my TOP vendors I love to get all my fave pieces from - including vendors you guys have shared from around the GLOBE!!! 🌎🥰💚 How exciting is that?!?! Make sure you tune in for that!!! 😉
Lisa, How about some advice on giving a new construction home some soul and personality? I am moving into a smaller home and although I love that everything is new I wish I could add some soul to my place. Some tips that hard-working folks could do and afford. Or maybe tips on how to build a room over time?? PS LOVE your channel and energy! You are my favorite!
Hey Cindy! What a great request!! I will add it to the list of videos to come! Have you joined the list for the Design Club yet? I think you’ll love it, we’ll livestream Q&A’s, deep dive and give lots of pro tips all about design, great for if you've got a project coming up, so send your email to www.lisaholtdesign.com and you'll be in the loop!
When we built, we put old doors instead of new (among other things) got rid of years of paint and they look fabulous...also mouldings look great and more"old"
Lisa, I redid my entire house last June (I now have an open concept) and I used your videos for inspiration and tips. A year later, and I’m still viewing your videos, even though my decorating has been done since late November. I’m ADDICTED to your videos. 💕💕💕You definitely need a show on HGTV, which is my 2nd addiction. 😂
Aww I love reading this, thank you for this sweet comment!!! SO glad you guys are drawing inspiration from my videos, that's all I've ever wanted!!! 😇💙
I love your video. Super knowledgeable and full of good advice. I own more than 2000 books, none of which I would like to miss. And yes, the colour determines the choice of accessories. My large red-green Afghan rug combines everything very nicely and well with silver and glass.
We (my daughter and I) look forward to your uploaded content every week. Your energy is fun and enjoyable, and we learn so much from you every time. So glad we discovered this channel. Thank you for sharing your designer knowledge.
Anna!!! Tell your daughter I said hello!!! 💖🤗 That just warms my heart knowing that you guys tune in every week together!!! I LOVE IT!!! 🙈🥰❤️ Thank you so so much for this sweet comment, you guys just make my entire day!!! 😘💕🌟
My little Jack Russell Terrier likes to stay with me so the 3 rooms where I spend most of my time with the door closed have water bowls for her. I chose them carefully to go with the rooms, thinking of them as "bling" rather than something to shamefully hide. My (soon to be finish) black and white kitchen has a red and white enamelware dog bowl, the den has a light blue and gray crockery bowl and the bedroom has a navy blue and white porcelain bowl with pastel flowers on a wooden tray.
Lisa your the bomb. Lol Thank you for the reminder on the fur throws and extra large bath mat to mention a few. Love you your channel and all the fun and useful ideas. One of my fav videos you had done was to show the history on where design and the era of it all came from. Very informative and I was surprised. Thanks a bunch.
Celeste!!! LOVE hearing that you are loving the history portion of my videos - I am such a history nerd!!!! 🤓💖Glad I could share this passion with you guys in such a fun way!!! 👏🏼 Thank you for all the sweet comments on this video - I might have to do an update on this video in the future!!! 🥰💗✨
Great tips! As for the "books by color" while that's a greatidea, but for a budget friendly tip, make your own book colored covers (Like we use to do for school, folding the inside of a paper bag ).
Hello Colleen! This is such a great budget friendly tip.. thanks so much for sharing and thanks for watching the channel! There is LOTS more coming soon!
Thrift stores, eBay, Etsy, and Replacements, Ltd. are great places to find unique china, crystal, bowls, etc. I've found vintage Fiestaware, antique optic, etched crystal stemware, Waterford crystal, Lenox china, antique books, Baldwin Brass candlesticks, and Rogaska crystal pieces at Goodwill. The hunt is part of the fun!
I think books should really be the ones you have read and are dear to you rather than buying them by the inch as simply a decor item. That said, I love listening to you Lisa, your charisma and sense of humour are pure gold. Happy 2022!
This was a great video Lisa. I’d add to save and store away all your bling items that you are tired of. It is always fun at a later time to pull them out and re-imagine them in new ways.
Travels. One of my favorite sources was (and will be again): travels. In 2019, I got to go to Ireland. I bought a modestly priced (but suitable for framing) map of Ireland. Now, I have a lovely framed map of Ireland on the wall! My personal shopping guidelines include “packability”. But that’s just a guideline: I bought some crystal at the Waterford factory and splurged on shipping. For me, it’s decor + memories.
OMG MC, I have been to Ireland before and LOVED IT!! 😍 I used to travel so much when I was younger, I miss it 😢 That is SO smart to shop for packability!!! 👍
YAY I am so glad you are digging the videos!!! 💖💖 Keep the feedback coming, I LOVE hearing what you guys have to add on or ask in the comments!!! Chatting it up with you guys is SO MUCH FUN!!! 😊👍🏻💕
I am so thankfull for your channel!! We are moving into our first house in a month and I am just really appreciating and looking forward to, being able to create a harmonios and peacefull home for my little family here in Denmark. Thank you for all the advice that I would have gotten all wrong without you!!
I love traditional mixed with contemporary and the tension it creates for today, thank you for having the best enthusiasm! Best tips ever! I’m picking Swiss coffee .. Best white ever!♥️🌹
Awww Charlotte this is the BEST kind of comment to get!! 🤩👏🏻 I LOVE to hear that these videos are helpful for you guys - that's exactly why I make them!! 🌟🌟Getting a comment like this always makes my DAY - thank you so much for your kind words!! 🥰💕
Lisa, everything you said is amazing! EXCEPT the books by color thing. That is really stretching the form over function piece. I think absolutely no one should be so pretentious that they have books only because of the "right" color they add to the space. What would be much more interesting is a vendor who makes custom book covers based on color and a title name.
I sort the books I have by color because I think it is beautiful, but would never buy a package of books in a special color just to show off. 😆 But fun that you told us about it. 😊😊😊
I decided some time ago to rearrange my bookshelf into colours, it was wonderful, I found so many titles I’d forgotten,I had. I also put them all flat so,I could read the titles without twisting my head sideways. The result is I see family finding something to read that’s not,in a category which is really rewarding. So it’s not really pretentious in my view 🤗 you should try it!
Hi Suzy! Thanks so much for mentioning that… I feel it’s really important we get visual reference, I think it’s super helpful. But I know I drive my editor bananas, so he’ll be thrilled to hear you appreciate all his efforts too!🤣🥰
glad this was top comment....this struck me as sad too! if you don't care about reading, admit that about yourself and fill your space with something else....and if you do care about reading then collecting books is automatic lol (and you can still group them by colour or whatever if that's your thing)
I dont see why not, though. I find it pleasing to look at, like a vase of flowers. Lavender flowers can be turned into tea, so I dont see why books can't have more than one function, like flowers. Also,, there's some boxes that are fake books and I can't wait to buy one to hold my remotes!
Very, very intresting. I think your chanel is great. You are a good teacher. No Distractions, Very Attractive, Stylish, Good Voice, Encyclopedia Information. With all in your business, you elimate so many. Just Excellent, gets better as you go .
Thank you Lisa! I love the examples you show. I would also love a you tube channel where a designer goes in to a home & redecorates it with what the owner already has. I did that for a friend & her brother-in-law that she got new furniture.
This is the third one of your videos I’ve watched today that has totally inspired me to cozy up and refresh my little studio apartment nest. I have a set of lovely coasters beside my bed for coffee and a bottle of linen spray. My ring and bracelet bowl just joined them. Love your personality!
You're my new favorite designer I follow. Absolutely love every tip you have put out so far Each of the videos are very helpful and I look forward to Fridays cause I know I'm going to learn a new design trick.
Thanks Lisa! I love your videos also this one. I love your energy. Your very last tip about the books sucks though. What I love most when I visit people is to look through their bookshelves. I want to know what they read and the last thing I think about is the look of the books, whether they are stylish or not. Books are a wonderful thing because they tell a story. I spend time with them. They are a bit like friends. Never in a million years I would want to replace my books with some empty shells. No matter how wonderful they might look from outside. What counts is the inside.
I think you’re misunderstanding the whole book thing. These are all great books where the jackets are removed and the natural book covers are exposed... they are then arranged buy color... white jackets or beige or black whatever. You buy them sorted by color instead of title however they are real legitimate books... I’ve gotten biographies, historic books, novels, classics! It actually is availing oneself of a lottery of potential as well as making a design statement! 100% real books that might have been thrown out! It’s super cool to order them and see what you get! 🥳 thanks for the compliment and your comment!!!
yay Lisa - all the things I've been focusing on - bowl of eye-catching fruit, great selection of vibrant, healthy herbs and big branch arrangements from the yard... I was only thinking a couple of days ago, how much I don't like decorator only pieces - as I've been searching for a statement print for the guest room... it really does make a home feel interesting and 'like' a home... LOVE Serena & Lily - and I bought a couple of pieces from Target (Australia) last week, that I didn't expect from Target... all very satisfying
Hi Isabell! I only wish I was there with you! I can’t wait to start traveling again… And France will be one of my first stops! I’m so glad you’ve joined the channel!🙌🏻😍❤️
Loved comparing personal/attire bling to accessories in our homes! “Dressed” rooms! I, too, am a gray girl… so versatile. Currently designing and styling my son’s new home! Fun!
LOVE decor bling! 💎 That last room was BEYOND. Loved it! The little purple geodes were gorgeous. Thank you for another awesome video Lisa!!! ❤️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I just happened to come across your TH-cam channel when looking for something else and I liked, subscribed and clicked the bell! I learned more from you in one evening that from a list of other designers. I'm here to stay and please keep these coming, I have many videos to watch yet but I'm so stoked that I found you. Thank you for all you do here.
Hi Reign! Thank you 🙏🏻 sooooo much for your kind comments 💕💕💕💕 I’m not sure if you know, but I’m opening the DesignClub in August! Get onto my email list at www.lisaholt.com and you can be one of the first ppl to become a member!!! Yay!🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻💕💕💕😘😘😘🥰💄 I guarantee you will freak out when you see it! This is Lisa! 🥰
As always, you inspire my creativity. My living room space is in the planning stage. As a musician it is home to a grand piano, a 120 yr old restored pump organ and 4 guitars, violin, dulcimer and ukulele. Etsy has fun instrument hangers. My art statement is going to be the instruments placed on the long wall next to the grand piano. The hardest part is the configuration on the wall. I have graph paper and cutouts to play with before that first nail is put up.
Deborah that is a great idea!!! If you go to Pinterest and/ or Houz they have lots of inspirations. From a personal experience please consider the outside light, no matter if you have the the glass protection it always cause some kind of damage. My opinion 😎
HI Deborah! Thanks so much for watching and being a part of my channel! Yes, I discuss the idea of music rooms in the first Know Your Style video, I LUV the idea of instruments hung on the wall. How fun! be sure to send the before and after to hello@lisaholt.com! ;)
@@mariacotto2658 yes that is a definite consideration. The window/light is under the covered porch so no direct light coming in. I definitely want the instruments protected.
Another great video, Lisa. So many useful tips. But I had no idea you could order books and specify the binding color. That blew my mind! I will definitely explore that. Thank you.
Tony Carter hey Tony thanks so much for watching! Yes, the books by color is a great solution, it gives you great reading material and design inspiration!👍🏻❤️
Thanks, Lisa, for another great video! I feel as if I walk away with something more than just watching. You're a fabulous instructor! Move over Sarah Richardson!
Always look forward to your videos! Your knowledge, personality, editing, enthusiasm, and content makes you my favorite designer and TH-cam channel in general.🪑♥️
Awww Anita!! 🥰 This is my FAV type of comment to get...you guys make my DAY being so sweet to me!! 💙💕 I have soooo much fun making these videos for you guys and just getting to hang out in the comments with all of you!! 🌟💜 I really do have the best job!! 😘 Thank you SO much for being such a fabulous part of my channel - it really does mean the world!! 🥰🌍
Funny thing I bought a bowl that is porcelain inside/ pewter outside it stands on three legs it sits at entrance on a vintage three legged wood stand filled w/lemons & one lime wish I could show you how pretty your ideas look at my door 👏🏻💡🥳// bought a dark leather pouf(20 x 20 x 16) from Spain delivers to Canada in six days via Etsy again your ideas 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
You have a lot of really good advice [ except for the matching book colors ]. My family had an art gallery for many years and subsequently we visited a lot of homes helping the homeowner to make a choice with their art. In my experience most people are not very confident in their decorating choices and need lots of reassuring. The nicest and most welcoming homes, in my opinion were those that had a tendency towards a unique and personal style. Where every single thing looked like the homeowner took great pleasure in choosing. The homes that looked lived in. The worst were homes that looked like show homes. These always felt cold and unoccupied.
Hey JL, isn’t that room just divine!!!!?! You have a great eye, (and memory)!!! I try to slip in some brilliant work as often as the subject allows, I find it so inspirational!🙌🏼🤩
I love your channel. I bought a Cape Cod style home in the country on 3 acres 2 yrs ago and I love the farmhouse look. We have been renovating and gave replaced the flooring in the livingroom and family room with Armstrong flooring that looks like old worn wood. I get alot of tips and ideas from watching you.
I was scrolling to find just this comment. Blew my mind that books were seen as anything other than to read. The view is inside the books, not the outside.
Exactly! A person’s bookshelves should reflect their INTERESTS not be color matched to the rest of the room. WHY ARE BOOKS DECOR?! Like I can organize my most loved books in a way that they look nice but I will never buy a book because it’s a decor piece. It doesn’t make sense to me.
Well said, I have book shelves full of books that have all been read at least once. They are by my favourite authors and admittedly I have organised them by author and by their publishing date, but I would never consider buying a book because it looked good.
I once owned a furnishings & decor consignment shop. Went to lots of auctions when consignments we’re running a little low. Lots of box lots containing scads of old books. Bought ‘em to accessorize the shop, now have them on my home shelving.
Lucy!!! What an interesting job - I'm sure you saw some FABULOUS pieces!!!! 💕🙌🏻 I'm SUPER into consignment pieces right now - I'm a little jealous!! 😂💚 Thank you so much for watching, and hope you're having a fabulous Friday! 🤩💙
For those who are readers and already have tons of books like me, just organizing your books by colors makes a huge difference. I would never call my books "clutter", but it definitely looks more organized now. Edit- Lisa you're awesome. Your videos are always fun and informative.
Yay, I have TONS of books, too, ( in 10 Billy bookcases!) and I'm always happiest when they're set by color tone, somehow it make me read the titles better. ;)
I was watching too many home designers I recall one saying enough with open kitchen shelves and then discussed it.. when Lisa said if you’re a minimalist you can stop if you’re nothing but that you can do this and that and talked about open shelves I was like ,, uhh so you can be either .. I mean I just noticed she had something for everyone and they didn’t have to be in trend it’s just if that’s you you can do this .. it was wholesome.. I think that’s experience for you but I also think it’s her personality too ..
Awww this is so sweet!! 😘😘 The most important part of design is making sure your space works for YOU and YOUR lifestyle!! 👏🏻 I really believe that as long as you love something, it can totally work in your home - it's all about living in the best way possible!! 🌟💜 Thank you SO much for this super sweet and thoughtful comment - reading these makes my day!! 🥰💚
Love the book bundle idea. Was going to source some myself, but? Another really fun video! You should really be recruited for your own TV spot on HGTV... You most definitely have the talent and your energy and enthusiasm is just great!
I know you did mention this, but how do you add “bling” when you are a minimalist and you have a small space? I’d love for you to do a minimalist small space video. I can’t seem to get past the “naked” look. lol.
How about a wall of color, or have a LeCruesset set with a bright color. You would not really be adding anything extra to the space. I have a bright red cast iron enamel set
I might help because I never managed to get the "naked" look XD It would help to know what your level of minimalism is : Have you tried hanging Art? Do you have plants? Do you accept a throw that doubles as a blanket? In a bare small space you need to amp up the texture effect IMO
Lisa, Would you do a video on HOW TO DO A ANCESTRY GALLERY WALL? Love your videos so much I look forward to it every week. Love and appreciate your advice to make my home beautiful!
@@LisaHoltDesign Your the best! My family wants to put this together before xmas on a large hallway wall. It will make a wonderful gift. Thank you have a great week.
Love, love, love her + all her enthusiasm. spunk, + fabulous ideas + endless insight. Thank you for the videos + for sharing your knowledge. Pls. keep them coming. Mitzi G. (Ft. Worth, TX.)
LOL Christy!!! 😆 I'm always glad when you guys ask - I LOVE answering your questions!!! 💜🥰 I'm SO glad you're enjoying these vids - thank you SO much for watching!! 💚😘😘
Absolutely love you channel. Bling ideas are always the hardest for me. I tend towards minimalism. This being the case my bling must have meaning to live in my space. I find the thought of books by the yard or color abhorrent.
Aww Lee!!! I absolutely love reading these comments...you guys are so good to me!! 💙💕 Hearing that you can tell how excited I am in these videos makes my day!! 😘😘 Thank you SO much for taking the time to support my channel...hope you're enjoying your spring!! 🥰💐
I like the look of designer bathrooms but in reality it can look cluttered. I'm not a minimalist except for in the bathroom. I want it clean and simple it allows me to start the day in a more positive frame of mind.
Hiya Ann! First of all...Thanks for watching and commenting. Small trays or even a mirror laid flat where you can group items to "ground" all the bits we have on our bathroom countertops will also work. 😁
OMG I just LOVE to hear this...making you guys happy is one of my FAV things to do!!! 😁😁💕 So so glad to have you as a part of the channel, and I hope you're having an amazing holiday season so far!! ☃️🎁💖
@@LisaHoltDesign - Even your response makes me so happy! Lisa, you are an amazing woman, your talent is amazing and I thank you for inviting me into your designing world! I’m so happy to be here. Merry Christmas 🎄 🌟🤍and Happy Holidays! 🎁🌟
Groovy count: only 1 ☹️ So many screenshots for inspiration on more than just accessories! The turned legs alone, on the marble top console table that was part of your TH-cam story this week has some great elements and DIY potential for other pieces. Thank you for sharing🙌😎
Just Jae some days I’m just groovier than others… You have a great eye that you picked of that gorgeous table… I try and feature really great designers when I can, because there’s just so much inspiration in the entire space. Thanx sooo much for watching, I’ll get back to my groovy soon!🤣🥰
Hi Lisa, To Lisa and all who are reading this; I hope you and your loved ones are safe and healthy durning this times and always. New subscriber here !😁 Love how you divided the accessories between the rooms. I completely agree with you and was the reason that make me see your not only informative but educational video, I hope you continue. As you indicated, fashion accessories are equal of home accessories...after all we have chandelier earrings 😋. In my opinion home accessories are more important since it can be the same for 4, 6, to 12 months hence you will see them and appreciate them every day. Why don't take the time and select something that is as unique as you are? I personally spend time in researching until I find the piece that speak to me and get along with the other pieces already have. I'm not an expert BUT I had learn about quality..they speak to each other. I found an Edward Farrell gorgeous custom sofa (chenille fabric, sable/green color) , I was trying to find pillows and I found some, green and cyan other black and gold ...no matter want I did nothing was working. They weren't talking to each other ( it that can make any sense ..lol). Then I started analyzing why this wasn't working and I came to the conclusion, the use of the lower quality pillows was doing the opposite of elevating the design, wasn't pleasant to the eyes. The color maybe right but the quality was not. I found the pillows, the lady I bought the sofa from, just change her mind regarding some pillows and she decided to sell them, yes I bought ALL of them at a very good price for the quality. They look amazing with the sofa and with the Baker black barrel side chairs that also I bought from her . Side note; OK...OK.., I got a "little" crazy with so many gorgeous things, I bought other items , mainly accessories and other stuff...no regrets since I enjoy them every day. Thanks for your time in reading. Be safe, Be healthy, Be well. Maria
Jhuriene!! This comment is just TOO sweet, thank you!! 🥰Matching colors is SUCH a fabulous video idea, there are sooooo many creative ways it can go! 😍 LOVE it!! 🙌🏻 I'll put this one on my list ASAP!! 😁💕
Lisa, Love the information you share. Im having the hardest time trying to figure out the color of the rug i should get for my livingroom. My walls are a pretty yellow, my couch is blue. My floors are a engineered medium walnut like color. I would like a plush rug because I spend a lot of time in the livingroom. What would you suggest
Hi April! Thanks for watching and thanks for the kind comment! Why don't you send me an email to hello@lisaholt.com so I can answer your questions much easier! It is also helpful if you can include photos! Thanks!
Awww Joyce I'm so glad you're enjoying them!! 💜😘 I am ALL about sharing my favorite resources with you guys - no secrets here!!! 😂 I'm actually working on a new MASTER list of products and brands I love for my brand new Dezign Club launching this summer!! 🤩 If that sounds like something you might be interested in, shoot me your email at www.lisaholt.com/thedezignclub - I'll make sure you get all the details on our launch!! 💕🥰
Guys... it's not about do you read or anything that is a comment on our society. It's just that for some people who have very public rooms with empty or cluttered bookshelves that would like a designer feel, this is a trick that many designers can avail themselves too. They are all real books BTW and I've discovered many great reads as a result!
Lisa Holt Design Hey Lisa don’t get me wrong, I just thought this book thing was funny 😂. Your videos are amazing, so dynamic and interesting, you are full of energy and give us GREAT tips. This was one of my fav vids! 💓 thank youu!! PS. I am loving these contents so much that I’m starting a design course next week. Wish me luck!!! 😱🍀
Congratulations on starting design school! By the way… I’m not sure if you know this or not but I am starting a design club in January and it would be great if you got on my email list so I could keep you in up-to-date on everything we’re gonna be doing there and our schedule. Go to www.lisaholtdesign.com. And btw... thank you for the very kind comment! I am so very appreciative 🙂
Now that I am decorating a house when I’m at the bookstore buying a book I’m going to read anyway, I pick the prettier version. Like a hardback with a jacket I can remove. I love items that are decorative and functional and books also display your personality and interests which make them great as decor 😊
Hey Guys! SO EXCITED to finally be talking about the MUST HAVES in the decor area...this is likely the first of a series, so let me know what you think in the comments below. and if you LUV it, please remember to share, so we can get more fun stuff happening. And don't forget to drop in at lisaholtdesign.com and sign up!
Love that you show the designer look then advise where to get pieces at reasonable prices. It’s like you think we could all do what you do. You’re groovy. 😊
Thank you for your video. I kind of felt in a slump moving into fall this year. You gave me a lot of great ideas to give me a push.
I definitely love the fruit in the bowls, a bowl of soaps in the bathroom, and I love the ideas of flowers in the bedroom.
I am inspired now, and tomorrow I'm going to dig in and do little changes around my home.
Thank you! 😀

First of all, Lisa- I do love your channel here, you come up with a lot of valuable advise and ideas- many thanks to you! BUT you asked for comments! I also have a huge issue with buying books by color just to decorate with! I knew someone who did this and I came away from her house thinking she was incredibly superficial and mindless! And the coffee tables you show are so cluttered up no one could use them to put anything on- very impractical just to get a certain look. Don't put bowls of fruit just to get the color- if you are never going to eat or use them. Get colorful bowls instead and maybe put things you are actually going to use, like onions or potatoes that you don't want to put in the frig, or coffee pods, or napkins, etc.
I realize it's kinda off topic but do anybody know a good website to watch newly released movies online?
Two things: I got right up and tried to rearrange a few things in my kitchen (during the video), and DON’T buy books collections by color! LOL. I’m in publishing and I hate that idea! Buy books that you want to read or look at, and keep. Enjoying someone’s library of books that reflect their interest is much preferred than one that just looks good. 😉
I agree!! Don't belittle books to "color accessories". If you want to sort existing books you love by color, that is fine, but turning the bindings back and treating them like mindless decor is so sad. That sad, if it's only what keeps books being bought, I'll be fine with it.
No need to buy books by color, you can group buy color. I have a zillion books, I’m an author, and have author friends, so I literally have hundreds of books, many are signed, when I arranged them by color, it looks fabulous.
I so agree and if you don't read: don't put books in your decor!!! Your home should reflect you as you are, not a fake idea of you!!! Even with all my books I would never coordinate them by colour: the idea is ridiculous, tacky...
Yes I completely agree. Each book reflects interests. Each has a special place in my home ... even the guest powder room.
I could never do the books by color thing either, because I have real books I want to display and it just isn't me. Plus I have a maximalist colorful palette of contrasting colors, and I can play with my books and make them work for me. Still it is a legitimate design choice for people who don't collect books or want a real collection. I was helping a friend with her shelves and I recommended she just buy for color which she did and it worked out beautifully. Just check those titles and a bit of content, to make sure there is nothing embarrassing and against your family values.
You know what would be good? I don’t have a house where I have floor to ceiling ocean views and 22ft ceilings. I think it would be really beneficial to see you style a room that is just a box. I love your style and think you’re amazing! Thanks!
I could even share photos of my space and you could design. I’d love to see it
Check out my small spaces video! Most of the time my goal is to help you guys get the best "look" you can regardless of the size or your budget. The suggestions hold true regardless. You just have to know where to buy from and what you're looking for. Thanks for watching!!
Lisa Holt Design totally not criticizing. I genuinely recognize your artistry. I have a 90s track home that I try to apply good design but I’m always stuck when trying to give a track home a custom look.
Tract
I know I have several Clients that have the 90’s tract. Paint is your friend! Also, I’ll be diving deep into these topics in the club, so be sure to sign up at LisaHoltDesign.com
If I see one more TOM FORD book I'll scream. I don't know why it seems to be THE item to make a room look expensive.
The Tom Ford book is the Hermes blanket all over again. My decor books are well coordinated but much more interesting. 😊
I must be honest, I wouldn't buy books just to fit in with my decor, but I would happily recover the sleeves so that they all matched 😉.
EXACTLY! That is what I suggest to many clients! The books by the foot clients are for larger estates who have huge giant shelves to fill, and I thought it was an unknown resource for most people, so I mentioned it. Thanks so much for watching and commenting!
I have books lining my NYC home...ones I actually read!
I just love how excited you are to share tips and ideas with us!
Haha! It’s my passion to be able to empower you guys and to share all of this! 🥰
Your energy is so communicative
Yay... Thanks for watching 😁
Dead right! So agree with you! 🤗🤗😉😉
I agree! That’s why I subscribed! Everyone else seems so boring.
I had an English professor in college who said that people can comprehend faster than most people can talk and that is why people get bored listening to a lecture. He said studies prove people retain more if the speaker keeps up as faster pace. I believe it.
I love your high energy. Just as you said bracelet, necklace, and shoes make the outfit, your high energy, knowledge, and great picture examples make your channel outstanding! 💕👍👍🤩
Awww Sheila this is just the SWEETEST comment!!! 💕💕 I LOVE hearing that you guys can tell how much FUN I have with this channel...making these videos and getting to chat with you guys are the best parts of my week!!! 😘🌟 SO glad I can share a little bit of the design love - thank you for the kind words!!! 🥰💚
I am going to lose my day job staying up all night watching your videos! Is 10 to 3 in the morning! I think you’re amazing.
Oops! 😄 So glad to hear that (you enjoying the videos, not loosing your day job😆) There's LOTS more coming!!
At 70 I have been collecting ethnic art, textiles and things I love and inherited all my life. I've always had open shelves and fill my kitchen with old Mexican bowls, Mexican banks in the shape of fruit etc. Because I have too many textiles I simply fold them stacked and they look so beautiful. Old wooden bowls from Lombok look great in every room. My point is that if you buy what you truly love it never goes out style and goes with you wherever you move. We are moving to a fairly large condo with old Italian gold fixtures and chandeliers which isn't my taste but I love the challenge of incorporating my things into a new space. Enjoy your channel and enthusiasm !
Thanks so much for watching!!!! 😘😊
I was just looking at fabric and mudcloth piled in a basket. Some stuffed in bags. I need to add them to my space so I can see and enjoy them.
LT Gemini I love mudcoth and it makes great pillow covers!
Every single video of Lisa Holt, it seems like a gorgeous masterclass!! thanks a million!!
Such a beautiful concept of delicious delights to add pazzzza to a room. Thanks for these inspirations!! Bravooooo to you!! Take your bow!!
The books by color thing is like art from Ross (or if you have $ having a designer pick out your art- you have no connection to it. Seriously, imagine being at someone's home and looking at their bookcase and seeing an interesting title. "What's this about?" "Oh I don't know I just bought it for the binding color."
Thx Lisa. I really like your style and I haven't found anyone else that lines up this close with what I like. Keep these coming even if it's the same subject with different images.. it's so enjoyable to watch.
Jeannie!!! You got it!!! 👏🏼 I definitely will be posting more of these on the channel in the future!!! I actually will be posting a video tomorrow morning about my TOP vendors I love to get all my fave pieces from - including vendors you guys have shared from around the GLOBE!!! 🌎🥰💚 How exciting is that?!?! Make sure you tune in for that!!! 😉
Lisa, How about some advice on giving a new construction home some soul and personality? I am moving into a smaller home and although I love that everything is new I wish I could add some soul to my place. Some tips that hard-working folks could do and afford. Or maybe tips on how to build a room over time?? PS LOVE your channel and energy! You are my favorite!
Hey Cindy! What a great request!! I will add it to the list of videos to come! Have you joined the list for the Design Club yet? I think you’ll love it, we’ll
livestream Q&A’s, deep dive and give lots of pro tips all about design, great
for if you've got a project coming up, so send your email to
www.lisaholtdesign.com and you'll be in the loop!
Yes. I just, finally, moved and can't do eveything all at once and on a single income. Larger space trying to figure it out.
@@LisaHoltDesign I did sign-up, I am so excited! Thank you for considering my idea!
When we built, we put old doors instead of new (among other things) got rid of years of paint and they look fabulous...also mouldings look great and more"old"
your enthusiasm is contagious!!
Yay! Thank you so much! 😊🙏
Lisa, I redid my entire house last June (I now have an open concept) and I used your videos for inspiration and tips. A year later, and I’m still viewing your videos, even though my decorating has been done since late November. I’m ADDICTED to your videos. 💕💕💕You definitely need a show on HGTV, which is my 2nd addiction. 😂
Aww I love reading this, thank you for this sweet comment!!! SO glad you guys are drawing inspiration from my videos, that's all I've ever wanted!!! 😇💙
One fruit in a bowl is a fabulous idea. Thank you. When I'm lost for ideas, I search for your clips and it inspires me.
You are so welcome!
Lisa - I Love your videos. They are always so informative and easy to understand. I look forward to your next video!
Paula Harris wow! Thanks so much for that comment, it means a lot to me when I know I’m helping people understand design mysteries!😘
I love your video. Super knowledgeable and full of good advice. I own more than 2000 books, none of which I would like to miss. And yes, the colour determines the choice of accessories. My large red-green Afghan rug combines everything very nicely and well with silver and glass.
We (my daughter and I) look forward to your uploaded content every week. Your energy is fun and enjoyable, and we learn so much from you every time. So glad we discovered this channel. Thank you for sharing your designer knowledge.
Anna!!! Tell your daughter I said hello!!! 💖🤗 That just warms my heart knowing that you guys tune in every week together!!! I LOVE IT!!! 🙈🥰❤️ Thank you so so much for this sweet comment, you guys just make my entire day!!! 😘💕🌟
My little Jack Russell Terrier likes to stay with me so the 3 rooms where I spend most of my time with the door closed have water bowls for her. I chose them carefully to go with the rooms, thinking of them as "bling" rather than something to shamefully hide. My (soon to be finish) black and white kitchen has a red and white enamelware dog bowl, the den has a light blue and gray crockery bowl and the bedroom has a navy blue and white porcelain bowl with pastel flowers on a wooden tray.
HI Holly! I LUV this! Our pets contribute so much to our lives, their things should be on display and be wonderful, just like you're describing! :):)
Lisa your the bomb. Lol Thank you for the reminder on the fur throws and extra large bath mat to mention a few. Love you your channel and all the fun and useful ideas. One of my fav videos you had done was to show the history on where design and the era of it all came from. Very informative and I was surprised. Thanks a bunch.
Celeste!!! LOVE hearing that you are loving the history portion of my videos - I am such a history nerd!!!! 🤓💖Glad I could share this passion with you guys in such a fun way!!! 👏🏼 Thank you for all the sweet comments on this video - I might have to do an update on this video in the future!!! 🥰💗✨
Great tips! As for the "books by color" while that's a greatidea, but for a budget friendly tip, make your own book colored covers (Like we use to do for school, folding the inside of a paper bag ).
Hello Colleen! This is such a great budget friendly tip.. thanks so much for sharing and thanks for watching the channel! There is LOTS more coming soon!
Thrift stores, eBay, Etsy, and Replacements, Ltd. are great places to find unique china, crystal, bowls, etc. I've found vintage Fiestaware, antique optic, etched crystal stemware, Waterford crystal, Lenox china, antique books, Baldwin Brass candlesticks, and Rogaska crystal pieces at Goodwill. The hunt is part of the fun!
I love these videos. Lisa is like a favorite aunt with lots of energy and great advice!
Well I try to breakdown what I do, why I do it and where you guys can get it! So glad it makes a difference!🙂
My favorite aunt IS a decorator! (Not this one, though.) 😆
I think books should really be the ones you have read and are dear to you rather than buying them by the inch as simply a decor item. That said, I love listening to you Lisa, your charisma and sense of humour are pure gold. Happy 2022!
This was a great video Lisa. I’d add to save and store away all your bling items that you are tired of. It is always fun at a later time to pull them out and re-imagine them in new ways.
I agree completely. Its like a mini Christmas digging through stored items. It makes pieces special again giving them a 2nd life
HI Jaie! So true! Thanks so much for watching and being a part of my channel!
Travels. One of my favorite sources was (and will be again): travels. In 2019, I got to go to Ireland. I bought a modestly priced (but suitable for framing) map of Ireland. Now, I have a lovely framed map of Ireland on the wall! My personal shopping guidelines include “packability”. But that’s just a guideline: I bought some crystal at the Waterford factory and splurged on shipping.
For me, it’s decor + memories.
OMG MC, I have been to Ireland before and LOVED IT!! 😍 I used to travel so much when I was younger, I miss it 😢 That is SO smart to shop for packability!!! 👍
I love when you say “Make it look like you”!
💕😘💕😘💕😘
I am obsessed with your channel! That is huge coz usually I love the psychology and marvel channels and it speaks volume about how great you are!!
YAY I am so glad you are digging the videos!!! 💖💖 Keep the feedback coming, I LOVE hearing what you guys have to add on or ask in the comments!!! Chatting it up with you guys is SO MUCH FUN!!! 😊👍🏻💕
I am so thankfull for your channel!! We are moving into our first house in a month and I am just really appreciating and looking forward to, being able to create a harmonios and peacefull home for my little family here in Denmark.
Thank you for all the advice that I would have gotten all wrong without you!!
I love traditional mixed with contemporary and the tension it creates for today, thank you for having the best enthusiasm! Best tips ever! I’m picking Swiss coffee .. Best white ever!♥️🌹
Totally Victoria - sounds absolutely fabulous!! 🤩🙌🏻 Thank you so much for all of your sweet comments, and happy painting!! 🥰💕
I love your enthusiasm. thanks for all you do.
Hey Anne! I really appreciate your comment!! Thanks for being a part of my channel!
Your videos are so much more realistic than other people with a similar backgrounds. Thank you for making your knowledge available for us all! xxxx
Blossom, thank you so much for watching and the compliments 😊 I appreciate it more then you can know!! 🤣😂
Lisa Holt Design 😘😘😘😘
Every one of your videos is packed with helpful information. Easy to understand and so many visual examples. Very helpful!
Awww Charlotte this is the BEST kind of comment to get!! 🤩👏🏻 I LOVE to hear that these videos are helpful for you guys - that's exactly why I make them!! 🌟🌟Getting a comment like this always makes my DAY - thank you so much for your kind words!! 🥰💕
Lisa, everything you said is amazing! EXCEPT the books by color thing. That is really stretching the form over function piece. I think absolutely no one should be so pretentious that they have books only because of the "right" color they add to the space. What would be much more interesting is a vendor who makes custom book covers based on color and a title name.
Hey VArun! Thanks
I sort the books I have by color because I think it is beautiful, but would never buy a package of books in a special color just to show off. 😆 But fun that you told us about it. 😊😊😊
Yes it makes me sad to think people chose a book by the color of the cover, with no intent to ever read it.
@@Lori-er4zv do you think that they are judging a book by it's cover?🤣
I decided some time ago to rearrange my bookshelf into colours, it was wonderful, I found so many titles I’d forgotten,I had. I also put them all flat so,I could read the titles without twisting my head sideways. The result is I see family finding something to read that’s not,in a category which is really rewarding. So it’s not really pretentious in my view 🤗 you should try it!
I love all the pictures. You put so much effort into every video
Hi Suzy! Thanks so much for mentioning that… I feel it’s really important we get visual reference, I think it’s super helpful. But I know I drive my editor bananas, so he’ll be thrilled to hear you appreciate all his efforts too!🤣🥰
Is it only me, or is BUYING books by the inch and color is crazy? 🤔
Seems fake and pretentious to buy books just for the right color....you should buy books to READ!
glad this was top comment....this struck me as sad too! if you don't care about reading, admit that about yourself and fill your space with something else....and if you do care about reading then collecting books is automatic lol (and you can still group them by colour or whatever if that's your thing)
Yep.
Buy good books.
I dont see why not, though. I find it pleasing to look at, like a vase of flowers. Lavender flowers can be turned into tea, so I dont see why books can't have more than one function, like flowers. Also,, there's some boxes that are fake books and I can't wait to buy one to hold my remotes!
Very, very intresting. I think your chanel is great. You are a good teacher. No Distractions, Very Attractive, Stylish, Good Voice, Encyclopedia Information. With all in your business, you elimate so many. Just Excellent, gets better as you go .
Thank you Margaret!! WOw that's so kind!!! 💕💕
Thank you Lisa! I love the examples you show. I would also love a you tube channel where a designer goes in to a home & redecorates it with what the owner already has. I did that for a friend & her brother-in-law that she got new furniture.
I feel I know this intuitively, but it’s so nice to hear it, and see it, in a list form. Thank you LH
This is the third one of your videos I’ve watched today that has totally inspired me to cozy up and refresh my little studio apartment nest. I have a set of lovely coasters beside my bed for coffee and a bottle of linen spray. My ring and bracelet bowl just joined them. Love your personality!
Thank you Charlotte! Love you comments... so sweet and I’m glad I could help 🙂
But Lisa, YOUR JEWELRY!!!! Every single episode I'm in love with your collection of jewelry. Can you give me some links to where to buy?
You're my new favorite designer I follow. Absolutely love every tip you have put out so far Each of the videos are very helpful and I look forward to Fridays cause I know I'm going to learn a new design trick.
WooHoo!! I really appreciate your comment! So glad you're part of my channel!
Thanks Lisa! I love your videos also this one. I love your energy. Your very last tip about the books sucks though. What I love most when I visit people is to look through their bookshelves. I want to know what they read and the last thing I think about is the look of the books, whether they are stylish or not. Books are a wonderful thing because they tell a story. I spend time with them. They are a bit like friends. Never in a million years I would want to replace my books with some empty shells. No matter how wonderful they might look from outside. What counts is the inside.
I think you’re misunderstanding the whole book thing. These are all great books where the jackets are removed and the natural book covers are exposed... they are then arranged buy color... white jackets or beige or black whatever. You buy them sorted by color instead of title however they are real legitimate books... I’ve gotten biographies, historic books, novels, classics! It actually is availing oneself of a lottery of potential as well as making a design statement! 100% real books that might have been thrown out! It’s super cool to order them and see what you get! 🥳 thanks for the compliment and your comment!!!
yay Lisa - all the things I've been focusing on - bowl of eye-catching fruit, great selection of vibrant, healthy herbs and big branch arrangements from the yard... I was only thinking a couple of days ago, how much I don't like decorator only pieces - as I've been searching for a statement print for the guest room... it really does make a home feel interesting and 'like' a home... LOVE Serena & Lily - and I bought a couple of pieces from Target (Australia) last week, that I didn't expect from Target... all very satisfying
Yay... back at ya! Sounds like you got some great pieces! I’m jealous🙌🏻🙌🏻🙂
@@LisaHoltDesign lol - no I'm jealous 'heart emoji'
I feel like drifting away, we are all so lucky to enjoy this beautiful music. 😘

Super super super helpful video for me. Guidelines for accessories is exactly what I needed. Thank you soo much Lisa!!! You are the very best ❤️
Ciao, so glad you liked and found it useful!!! I had lots more, so they'll come out in more later videos. YOu're the best! ;):)
I'm watching from the countryside near Paris France. Your videos are so very helpful and embrace so many tastes in decoration. Many thanks.

Me too Lyn! Gotta keep everything tidy and organized 🙂
I’m not sure I’d like to be in a room with this woman, but I really like these videos.
10:28 the BEST thing about this room is the lacquered ceiling.
I just happened to come across your TH-cam channel when looking for something else and I liked, subscribed and clicked the bell! I learned more from you in one evening that from a list of other designers. I'm here to stay and please keep these coming, I have many videos to watch yet but I'm so stoked that I found you. Thank you for all you do here.

As always, you inspire my creativity. My living room space is in the planning stage. As a musician it is home to a grand piano, a 120 yr old restored pump organ and 4 guitars, violin, dulcimer and ukulele. Etsy has fun instrument hangers. My art statement is going to be the instruments placed on the long wall next to the grand piano. The hardest part is the configuration on the wall. I have graph paper and cutouts to play with before that first nail is put up.
Deborah that is a great idea!!!
If you go to Pinterest and/ or Houz they have lots of inspirations.
From a personal experience please consider the outside light, no matter if you have the the glass protection it always cause some kind of damage.
My opinion 😎
HI Deborah! Thanks so much for watching and being a part of my channel! Yes, I discuss the idea of music rooms in the first Know Your Style video, I LUV the idea of instruments hung on the wall. How fun! be sure to send the before and after to hello@lisaholt.com! ;)
@@mariacotto2658 yes that is a definite consideration. The window/light is under the covered porch so no direct light coming in. I definitely want the instruments protected.
Another great video, Lisa. So many useful tips. But I had no idea you could order books and specify the binding color. That blew my mind! I will definitely explore that. Thank you.
Tony Carter hey Tony thanks so much for watching! Yes, the books by color is a great solution, it gives you great reading material and design inspiration!👍🏻❤️
That sheen on the ceiling is so unique! I love, love, love it!
Thanks, Lisa, for another great video! I feel as if I walk away with something more than just watching. You're a fabulous instructor! Move over Sarah Richardson!
Hey Colleen!! Thanks so much for your awesome comment, I really appreciate it!! Stay tuned for more, woohoo!!
Many used bookstores also sell decorative books if you are looking for books in a certain color. It's a great way to support a local business.

Could you a session on Fall decorating that’s more elegant. Thanks
Funny thing I bought a bowl that is porcelain inside/ pewter outside it stands on three legs it sits at entrance on a vintage three legged wood stand filled w/lemons & one lime wish I could show you how pretty your ideas look at my door 👏🏻💡🥳// bought a dark leather pouf(20 x 20 x 16) from Spain delivers to Canada in six days via Etsy again your ideas 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I find the best bowls and bits at value village. There are usually really nice bowls, tea cups and real crystal bowls for less than $3.00.
Wow... that’s an amazing deal! Thanks for sharing with us!
You have a lot of really good advice [ except for the matching book colors ]. My family had an art gallery for many years and subsequently we visited a lot of homes helping the homeowner to make a choice with their art. In my experience most people are not very confident in their decorating choices and need lots of reassuring. The nicest and most welcoming homes, in my opinion were those that had a tendency towards a unique and personal style. Where every single thing looked like the homeowner took great pleasure in choosing. The homes that looked lived in. The worst were homes that looked like show homes. These always felt cold and unoccupied.
Stunned that I would instantly recognize -and remember!- that A+ Vicente Wolf beach house gallery wall. And his gloss ceiling. (10:25)
Hey JL, isn’t that room just divine!!!!?! You have a great eye, (and memory)!!! I try to slip in some brilliant work as often as the subject allows, I find it so inspirational!🙌🏼🤩
I love your channel. I bought a Cape Cod style home in the country on 3 acres 2 yrs ago and I love the farmhouse look. We have been renovating and gave replaced the flooring in the livingroom and family room with Armstrong flooring that looks like old worn wood. I get alot of tips and ideas from watching you.
I can't wrap my head around the idea that books are a decor item. Books are meant to be read! And my book shelves will always look messy
I was scrolling to find just this comment. Blew my mind that books were seen as anything other than to read. The view is inside the books, not the outside.
Exactly! A person’s bookshelves should reflect their INTERESTS not be color matched to the rest of the room. WHY ARE BOOKS DECOR?! Like I can organize my most loved books in a way that they look nice but I will never buy a book because it’s a decor piece. It doesn’t make sense to me.
Well said, I have book shelves full of books that have all been read at least once. They are by my favourite authors and admittedly I have organised them by author and by their publishing date, but I would never consider buying a book because it looked good.
Lisa is talking to those who want stylish homes. If messy and comfortable is your style, so be it
I did this coloured tidying with my numerous real books and it works really well
Keep it coming. Love your energy and know how.
I appreciate that I'm so glad to hear you liked it!
I have the tiniest bathroom (50’s ranch-style house) with no countertop. Just a pedestal sink and a tiny shelf.
I once owned a furnishings & decor consignment shop. Went to lots of auctions when consignments we’re running a little low. Lots of box lots containing scads of old books. Bought ‘em to accessorize the shop, now have them on my home shelving.
Lucy!!! What an interesting job - I'm sure you saw some FABULOUS pieces!!!! 💕🙌🏻 I'm SUPER into consignment pieces right now - I'm a little jealous!! 😂💚 Thank you so much for watching, and hope you're having a fabulous Friday! 🤩💙
For those who are readers and already have tons of books like me, just organizing your books by colors makes a huge difference. I would never call my books "clutter", but it definitely looks more organized now.
Edit- Lisa you're awesome. Your videos are always fun and informative.
Yay, I have TONS of books, too, ( in 10 Billy bookcases!) and I'm always happiest when they're set by color tone, somehow it make me read the titles better. ;)
I was watching too many home designers I recall one saying enough with open kitchen shelves and then discussed it.. when Lisa said if you’re a minimalist you can stop if you’re nothing but that you can do this and that and talked about open shelves I was like ,, uhh so you can be either .. I mean I just noticed she had something for everyone and they didn’t have to be in trend it’s just if that’s you you can do this .. it was wholesome.. I think that’s experience for you but I also think it’s her personality too ..
Awww this is so sweet!! 😘😘 The most important part of design is making sure your space works for YOU and YOUR lifestyle!! 👏🏻 I really believe that as long as you love something, it can totally work in your home - it's all about living in the best way possible!! 🌟💜 Thank you SO much for this super sweet and thoughtful comment - reading these makes my day!! 🥰💚
Love the book bundle idea. Was going to source some myself, but? Another really fun video! You should really be recruited for your own TV spot on HGTV... You most definitely have the talent and your energy and enthusiasm is just great!
Another awesome vid for us challenged non decorators
I know you did mention this, but how do you add “bling” when you are a minimalist and you have a small space? I’d love for you to do a minimalist small space video. I can’t seem to get past the “naked” look. lol.
How about a wall of color, or have a LeCruesset set with a bright color. You would not really be adding anything extra to the space. I have a bright red cast iron enamel set
I might help because I never managed to get the "naked" look XD
It would help to know what your level of minimalism is : Have you tried hanging Art? Do you have plants? Do you accept a throw that doubles as a blanket? In a bare small space you need to amp up the texture effect IMO
Also, your style may be more Scandinavian than “true” minimalist
Try adding a plant or plants and some artwork
Lisa, Would you do a video on HOW TO DO A ANCESTRY GALLERY WALL? Love your videos so much I look forward to it every week. Love and appreciate your advice to make my home beautiful!
Such a great idea Patty!!! I’ll add that to my idea book! Thank you so much for your lovely comments and compliments, both are sooo appreciated 🙂🥰

LOL Christy!!! 😆 I'm always glad when you guys ask - I LOVE answering your questions!!! 💜🥰 I'm SO glad you're enjoying these vids - thank you SO much for watching!! 💚😘😘
Absolutely love you channel. Bling ideas are always the hardest for me. I tend towards minimalism. This being the case my bling must have meaning to live in my space. I find the thought of books by the yard or color abhorrent.
We need a video on dining rooms and buttler pantry,,,,, asking for a friend 🙊
Ha ha! 😘Great suggestion! I’ll add that to the list of upcoming videos! and thanks so much for being a part of the channel!
I love watching your vlogs. Exciting all the time.

Also I learning a lot from you. It feels so natural and real like you are actually talking to me up-close. ❤️🏡❤️
there isnt enough room on my bathroom counter for any tray...I am a minimalist. make up in a drawer perfume in medicine cabinet
I like the look of designer bathrooms but in reality it can look cluttered. I'm not a minimalist except for in the bathroom. I want it clean and simple it allows me to start the day in a more positive frame of mind.
I am with you, the only thing that is on the counter is my body lotion, it won't fit in any of the drawers, hand soap and toothbrush and toothpaste.
Hiya Ann! First of all...Thanks for watching and commenting. Small trays or even a mirror laid flat where you can group items to "ground" all the bits we have on our bathroom countertops will also work. 😁
@@LisaHoltDesign i have a ceramic holder for lotion and a matching one for the toothbrush holder. No room for anything else
Somehow you make me dreamy & happy! Love all your ideas! Thank you!! 🤍
OMG I just LOVE to hear this...making you guys happy is one of my FAV things to do!!! 😁😁💕 So so glad to have you as a part of the channel, and I hope you're having an amazing holiday season so far!! ☃️🎁💖
@@LisaHoltDesign - Even your response makes me so happy! Lisa, you are an amazing woman, your talent is amazing and I thank you for inviting me into your designing world! I’m so happy to be here. Merry Christmas 🎄 🌟🤍and Happy Holidays! 🎁🌟
Groovy count: only 1 ☹️
So many screenshots for inspiration on more than just accessories! The turned legs alone, on the marble top console table that was part of your TH-cam story this week has some great elements and DIY potential for other pieces. Thank you for sharing🙌😎
Just Jae some days I’m just groovier than others… You have a great eye that you picked of that gorgeous table… I try and feature really great designers when I can, because there’s just so much inspiration in the entire space. Thanx sooo much for watching, I’ll get back to my groovy soon!🤣🥰
I just found you the other day. Your so happy & fun. Thank you for that.
Trish you are SO welcome!! Thank you for finding the channel, welcome to the family!! 🤣😜
Hi Lisa,
To Lisa and all who are reading this; I hope you and your loved ones are safe and healthy durning this times and always.
New subscriber here !😁
Love how you divided the accessories between the rooms. I completely agree with you and was the reason that make me see your not only informative but educational video, I hope you continue. As you indicated, fashion accessories are equal of home accessories...after all we have chandelier earrings 😋. In my opinion home accessories are more important since it can be the same for 4, 6, to 12 months hence you will see them and appreciate them every day. Why don't take the time and select something that is as unique as you are? I personally spend time in researching until I find the piece that speak to me and get along with the other pieces already have. I'm not an expert BUT I had learn about quality..they speak to each other. I found an Edward Farrell gorgeous custom sofa (chenille fabric, sable/green color) , I was trying to find pillows and I found some, green and cyan other black and gold ...no matter want I did nothing was working. They weren't talking to each other ( it that can make any sense ..lol). Then I started analyzing why this wasn't working and I came to the conclusion, the use of the lower quality pillows was doing the opposite of elevating the design, wasn't pleasant to the eyes. The color maybe right but the quality was not.
I found the pillows, the lady I bought the sofa from, just change her mind regarding some pillows and she decided to sell them, yes I bought ALL of them at a very good price for the quality. They look amazing with the sofa and with the Baker black barrel side chairs that also I bought from her .
Side note;
OK...OK.., I got a "little" crazy with so many gorgeous things, I bought other items , mainly accessories and other stuff...no regrets since I enjoy them every day.
Thanks for your time in reading.
Be safe, Be healthy, Be well.

Lisa,
Love the information you share. Im having the hardest time trying to figure out the color of the rug i should get for my livingroom. My walls are a pretty yellow, my couch is blue. My floors are a engineered medium walnut like color. I would like a plush rug because I spend a lot of time in the livingroom. What would you suggest
Hi April! Thanks for watching and thanks for the kind comment! Why don't you send me an email to hello@lisaholt.com so I can answer your questions much easier! It is also helpful if you can include photos! Thanks!
Still bingeing all your videos! I want to keep them all. Love that you give names of companies. Thanks!
Awww Joyce I'm so glad you're enjoying them!! 💜😘 I am ALL about sharing my favorite resources with you guys - no secrets here!!! 😂 I'm actually working on a new MASTER list of products and brands I love for my brand new Dezign Club launching this summer!! 🤩 If that sounds like something you might be interested in, shoot me your email at www.lisaholt.com/thedezignclub - I'll make sure you get all the details on our launch!! 💕🥰
It’s HILARIOUS the fact ppl use books as decorative itens
for me as a bookworm it's sad :(
Guys... it's not about do you read or anything that is a comment on our society. It's just that for some people who have very public rooms with empty or cluttered bookshelves that would like a designer feel, this is a trick that many designers can avail themselves too. They are all real books BTW and I've discovered many great reads as a result!
Lisa Holt Design Hey Lisa don’t get me wrong, I just thought this book thing was funny 😂.
Your videos are amazing, so dynamic and interesting, you are full of energy and give us GREAT tips. This was one of my fav vids! 💓 thank youu!!
PS. I am loving these contents so much that I’m starting a design course next week. Wish me luck!!! 😱🍀
Congratulations on starting design school! By the way… I’m not sure if you know this or not but I am starting a design club in January and it would be great if you got on my email list so I could keep you in up-to-date on everything we’re gonna be doing there and our schedule. Go to www.lisaholtdesign.com. And btw... thank you for the very kind comment! I am so very appreciative 🙂
Now that I am decorating a house when I’m at the bookstore buying a book I’m going to read anyway, I pick the prettier version. Like a hardback with a jacket I can remove. I love items that are decorative and functional and books also display your personality and interests which make them great as decor 😊
Thank you for listing the stores you use!
