    There is a hint in the name "coffee" table - there is meant to be room to put down your cup, glass, book, or whatever you are holding. So much furniture seems to have lost its functional purpose only to be seen as a surface for "decor" ( a term I cannot bear). If the furniture is both purposeful and pleasing to your personal taste, accumulated over time rather than purchased in a mass grab at a store, it is actually hard to have too much stuff and hard for the space not to reflect its occupants and not a catalogue. And if any decorative or ornamental pieces are meaningful gifts, or deeply-loved finds and purchases, the whole experience of a room becomes an extension of getting to know the person living there. I am with you on leaving a space or going without until we find something that we know we will keep for a long time and truly appreciate.

Those items ARE the decoration on the table. I mean you can put a nice candle there or some pretty napkin box, if you use it occasionally, and coasters, imo that would be it.

    I think whether or not you keep your dining table truly depends on how much you use it. We have an apartment with a small not open concept kitchen. No island, no kitchen table. Because it’s an apartment we don’t have a dining room either. Our living room comes with an area just begging for a big table so we put one there.
    We use it CONSTANTLY. We work at it, we feed friends meals at it, we use it as extra dinner prep space, we often eat lunch at it, we have our monthly budget talk at it. I do large art projects at it if my guest room folding table isn’t big enough.
    If we had a kitchen table it’d be unnecessary but we don’t, and we need and like having a big table space.

    This might seem like a faux-pas of an opinion but while I understand the optical effect of hanging curtains close to the ceiling as opposed to butt-up against the window, I find it looks strange to have a gap of vacant wall space between the curtain rod and window trim. Lately I’ve been hanging my curtains at about the halfway point between ceiling and window and it looks much more balanced than floating in space. All that to say, I hope the modern curtain hanging theory doesn’t become law because it looks a little off.

    • @tartnouveau35
      @tartnouveau35 17 วันที่ผ่านมา +2

      I COMPLETELY agree. In even the most beautifully designed spaces on Pinterest, the massive gap looks off and amateurish, and the “flow” of the curtains doesn’t negate the effect. I’ve done the same as you, putting the rods halfway, and it creates so much more visual balance. It looks more curated and intentional. So glad someone else feels that way.

      You actually did what you are supposed to do if that vacant spot bothers you. The rule says "close to the ceiling as much as you can or go halfway up, but not butt up against the window". What you say has been done before. It still elongates the window visually and balances that spot.

    I do have a bar cart, but the kind with sliding glass doors and a detachable tray, a vintage find from the 60s in great shape,but I don't drink, so now I use it for keeping some of the more delicate CDs albums from getting dust, and they look great too, and for art, I look for street artists, thrift stores and auctions, it's amazing what you can find in unexpected places!

I have multiple paintings from my grandmother that she painted for me over the years hanging in the house and I looooove having them and displaying them. One is in my daughter’s room 🖤💜

    Okay pretty sure I've commented this a few different times but i really love it: I set up my whole tv system, all my consoles, and dvd cases on a bar cart so i can wheel it to different places in my home. In my first two apartments i had a coat closet i could tuck it into, easily hiding the TV and easy to wheel out when I'm wanting to watch something. Now it lives in my guest room and it's such a perfect system for me. I'm not a big television/movie/video game person as it is, so the money I'd spend on more aesthetic tvs and storage systems just doesn't make sense. It doesnt look especially cute or anything but it's so convenient!

    I love the idea of having a multipurpose dining room. Like maybe you do other things in the room, but when you want to host a lot of people you can expand the table or unfold it, etc. Store away things in cabinets or a buffet. For example, I sew a lot, and I'm currently looking for an apartment with a formal dining room bc I could use the big table to cut out my patterns most of the time, but cover it in a cloth and host my family and friends there too when I want to.

    Bar carts are cute if you push them around to guests at a party and make a drink then move on, but not as a stand alone furn.
    My DIY's have mainly been finding badly painted furn on the street and then stripping and refinishing it , repairing it also if needed. Usually antiques, white oak, or pine, that look gorge when restored.
    A formal dining room would make a great home library!

Love a lot of the pics of living room spaces, particularly the one with the low bench behind the chairs. I may adopt that style.

    The "Spark Joy" sounds cliche but it's true. Keep the stuff and decorate in the way that speaks to your soul.
    Also, the "Home Goods art" makes a great base for DIY art. I thrifted a big printed canvas landscape piece I'm planning to paint over. I might not gonna over the whole thing, but it has a manufacture flaw I need to fix and I'm not gonna spend a ton of time trying to color match. In the end, I'll have a real painting on a canvas I got cheap.

    Imo - if you're not actually reading the books that are out leave them on the shelf - i think too many people are faking it to look interesting for guests. It's fine if those books are actually interesting to you and you're reading them - but your living room doesn't need to feel like a waiting room.

    Another good one...
    Formal Dining Rooms:
    In average homes, kitchen tables and formal dining tables are individually too small for entertaining extended family for holidays. Why not put both tables into a larger "family room" and use the dining room for TV viewing? Then you could enlarge the kitchen or create anan office or a cozy reading area where the kitchen table was. AndI, I love a big table in a big room for spreading out projects like cutting out sewing patterns, or art projects, or cookie decorating, or organizing photo albums, or framing pictures. If one or more more entertaining tables can be folded and stored to the side, you've got space to dance or exercise.
    Other than plumbing-specific rooms, you can use any space for whatever purpose makes the most sense for the people living there.

    Can someone explain this to me? I'm really curious why people in America cover their coffee tables with books? This is such a weird concept to me. What's the purpose of coffetable, other than to have a surface to put things on when you're sitting on the couch, like a cup of coffee, tea, and other beverages? Putting books on it literally makes that surface useless to me...

      @@channamasala1 I was just answering the question of what the point of the books are. Personally I keep coffee table books on a built in shelf under the coffee table, and nothing on the surface(I have a few because I love the photos in them). Also I have had coffee at many coffee table books that were plenty big enough to fit both flowers and a couple of books without threatening the space for coffee cups :)

      A stack of coffee table books is fine. But covering the whole surface with them, or other objects, is weird to me. A book, a candle, flowers are okay styling. But people go overboard and make it into a bookshelf or just another area to hold clutter.

  • @DKController

    I grew up in a house with an eat-in-kitchen and no dining room. Holiday's were cramped and the overflow mess always ended up on the table. When my parents renovated and added on a kitchen, they turned the EIK into a dining room. The dining room flows into the kitchen, which has a large arched opening flanked by counter tops. It's the best of both worlds as it functions a roomy place to eat and as a cook, it's used all year round and you don't have little kids under your feet while cooking. I honestly prefer two separate spaces for eating and cooking, although a small table or preferably, Island with seating, is great when you have guests in your kitchen or a kid hanging out doing homework. I think the rule is, get rid of the formality and use all of your spaces. If it's not useful to use as is, re-think it.

    I agree on the dining room being a waste of space for most people. I grew up in a 20's home and the dining room was a walk-through space with a big table. I just moved and purposely chose a house where there was no large dining area and a decent sized eating area in the kitchen. I'm trying to decide what to do with some blank walls. I agree it's better to just leave them alone than try to cram something there for the sake of it.

    I think it's so interesting that as much as I love your videos and they inspire me, this specific video to me is so "American". Like everything you criticize are things that I have seen over and over again when I lived in California right after Highschool. I came home last year, I study back in Europe and I on the one hand still have pieces of art that I thrifted from California that are "personal" and I plan to keep for longer but on the other hand everything I own now is stuff that I could see myself keeping forever because it's handmade, thrifted, something I remember from trips or generally well curated stuff and not just what you describe as "stuff from your college time" with the examples that you mentioned. I know no one in Europe whose interior looks like that but yes I do know a bunch of Americans, my age and older who this exactly relates to. I don't know what it is, if it's "cultural" or simply "style", because if someone would say that's their "style" well to me that is sad but so be it and these exact people aren't targeted to your videos anyway. All that to say, thank you for your videos!! You are one of the only reasons I still watch TH-cam :))
