Kiva, I think you are the best speaker on you tube. You speak quickly with no “and duh or stuttering,” very impressive. Love your videos.
This is such high praise!!! Thank you so much, Becky!
Yes! and gets to the point! Nothing worse than a long drawn out intro!
Wow that is so true
Yesss Kiva you’re awesome. I said what I said❤️
Really, it's pretty much like listening to a very well rehearsed college lecture. I love her videos. I am a retired interior designer and can listen to her all day long. She's wonderful.
This girl makes me feel like I can tackle anything with my two left hands😂 just love her and all her tips..
You definitely can tackle anything!! You’re so sweet! Thank you so much Linda! 💕
Agreed!!!!
I know! She's so encouraging, too.
@@KivaBrent olo
Agreed! So inspirational
The only decorator on yt who doesnt just talk just to talk .. her videos are so full of information that is actually valuable and useful. One of my favs for sure
Agreed! 100%
Thank you so so much!! This made my day! 💕
@@riverunner9978 the only one? We don’t have to insult everyone to lift up another, didn’t your mother tell you that? Not a rule in your group huh? Got it
Totally Agree! She packs so much info in every video.
@@dawittywats1934 ....oh my a professional virtue signaler!
I almost never leave comments. I have recently found this channel and binge like crazy. I love that Kiva makes it okay to not be able to afford things. She goes over high end and dollar tree options. Thank you for making design something everyone can do.
You are too sweet!! Thank you so much for your comment :)
"Some people just want their house to look good" - you are spot on Kiva!
Yes!! 👏👏👏
Damn girl , you are such a gem.I am a 59 year almost retired schoolteacher and I have never learned so much in my life.
Girl me and my grandson are going to paint this week on Spring Break.
Thank you so much.
Thank you so much Paulette!! Have the BEST time painting. 💕
I totally agree with you!😇
#sisterhoodispowerful
Holy cow, your comment about how your decor/design aesthetic does not have to be a reflection of who you are as a person and how you see the world, that sometimes people just want their house to look nice....that comment has set me free! Mind. Blown. 🤯. Love it!
That comment relieved some stress for me, too. Thank you KB!
@@cardfannanl1c47 At the end of the day if you come home and smile because you love your space, that's all that counts.😀
RIGHT holy crap
Love it!! 💜
I love how you communicate. Even when you are telling people the harsh truth, you still do it in a gentle, logical way.
Add me to the list of subscribers who loves how fast she talks and makes her point! Never a dull moment and chock full of great design tips!!
I love you " some people just want their house to look nice" yep that's me. Lifestyle is nice but really I just want my "house to look nice" Thank you for being you.
Your background...GOALS!!!! I watch your videos like I'm taking a class.
Thank you so much, Dia! You are too kind!
IKR--loving the gallery wall 😘
“Shopping in a different part of the store” is some of the best advice I’ve never heard explained. 👏👏👏
Remember, there is a difference between cheap and inexpensive. Also, there's a difference between expensive and over priced!
*over priced
@@Mikyda3 Thank you👍
Well-said!!
Yesssss
Good point.
Hi Kiva! I said this in your TH-cam live the other day....you really need a show on HGTV! You are sooo knowledgeable. I love the wallpaper in the bookcase idea. Keep rocking it out!
😭💕 Thank you so much, Cassiah!! Maybe one day!
I so agree!! I have said since the minute I found her this girl is going to be famous! the most genuine sincere knowledgable and well presented designer!!
Thank you SO MUCH for adding photos to go along with what you're talking about. It makes a HUGE difference. You rock KB!
Thank you so much for watching Michelle!!
A set of 4 champagne glasses for $36 or 4 champagne glasses $1 each, the 🍷 wine will taste the same. I choose dollar tree glasses, smiling n sipping.
Or thrift store Crystal glasses are cheap all kinds of brand names
Dollar tree has restaurant-grade water goblets and margarita glasses. They're awesome. 👍🥂
Quality vs quantity
After the past few years, I’m surprised we’re just not all drinking straight from the bottles. Glasses? lol cute
You are TOTALLY not my style. I love early American traditional decor, but I absolutely adore you. Your advice and tips work for any style.
Thank you so much, Laura! I really appreciate this.
Same here. I love classic bohemian decor but I just absolutely love her and won’t stop watching 😌
@@jai.cee. Same here Jackie!
Same here, except for a shared passion for Restoration Hardware, but I also love color! Kiva would probably be horrified at my apartment.
Same. I love French provincial but I adore these videos!
Jungle Jim's is an import food store. Empty cigar boxes are sold there at prices from $1 and up. Many are real wood and retain the aroma from the cigars that were in them. These boxes are gorgeous works of art. Even the tiny metal latches are so pretty .
I had to smile when you talked about people buying boxes to style their bookshelves. I have the opposite problem because I have a whole wall of doubled up books and no room for decor;-))
That’s so lucky!!!!
I am you Pamela. Way too many books
Same here! I have tons of books 📚
@@alishafrazier8025 same here😃
I got SO lucky when I bought my 3 bookshelves...got 5 banana leaf baskets, reg price $26ea for $2ea.....lots of craft supplies stashed, still room for books and my fave decor pieces/plants on top.
I didn't know how clueless I was at decorating until I bought a house. Turns out it's not just cause I had a tiny 💩 apartment. Now I have a house and need HELP. I appreciate you showing examples and being specific cause I didn't know how clueless I was until I kept bugging stuff. Trying stuff and it still be looking hopeless lol
Love to listen to you. You're the only content creator I love to watch right to the end of the video and then I'm disappointed when it ends. You pack so much information in one segment and you talk so fast, your ambition to teach us as much as possible in one session comes thru. It's much appreciated!
You are are breath of fresh air here on you tube.
We bought 2 malm dressers when we were on a super tight budget, assuming we’d replace them after a couple years. 12 years later those things are indestructible. They’ve survived our 5 kids & still look great. I’m excited to give them some new life to switch it up. Thanks for the ideas!
I know when I get that notification of a new KB video, I need to get my coffee, open up a new note on my phone, and take notes!! I truly appreciate that you understand that everyone wants a gorgeous space that meets their aesthetic needs, but doesn’t break their bank. I also appreciate that you aren’t afraid to recommend those splurge items on one of a kind pieces. Can’t wait for the next video!!
Couple of things: Love the new glasses, so happy I found your channel, and if no one has told you today. - you are fabulous!!
I bought some blue ombre -ish tall stem wine glasses from dollar tree for a party a long time ago and when ppl come over, they find it hard to believe it's dollar tree glasses. I think the color makes them look more expensive than they are. It was supposed to be temporary glassware for that occassion but I decided to keep them long term after that.
Yes!! Dollar Tree has some great wine glasses!
Yes! on the trays and boxes. I've found boxes inexpensively during sales at Michaels, Staples, Office Depot, and Ikea. I've found great unfinished trays that I can DIY to my own look at Michaels, Joann Fabrics, or other places that sell unfinished wood pieces. Thrift stores are also great places to hunt for trays.
One other trick I use for inexpensive, chic decor is to purchase certain grocery items like tea or spices sold in decorative tins in ethnic markets or while traveling. The consumable product is usually the greatest portion of the cost, but the tin is often highly re-usable and can represent a very personal style statement as well as capture memories. I use mine for office supplies and other small, unattractive hardware supplies, but stored in full sight.
I've had my malm dresser for over 5 years and it literally is in perfect condition. THE BEST DRESSER EVER!!!
Just discovered you. Thanks for bringing a dose of reality into the whole ‘Interior Design’ challenge. It gets ridiculous and it’s nice to see someone call it as it is. 🙂🙂🙂
Welcome Amanda!! Thank you so much! 💕
You are so good with what you do. I got inspired to make my house look better on a very little budget. I am retired and I realized that I can still make tiny improvements based on your advice. Thank you so much. More power to you.
The swing arm task light you showed is exactly like the George Kovac's lamps I bought way back in 1978. I left them behind when I divorced my husband. Sure wish I had kept them, the lamps, not the husband.😁
Who would have thought they would be so in style 43 years later, and probably worth more than I originally paid for them.
I just love KB. She’s teaching so many principles and driving her core ideas home. I love her enthusiasm, and she’s so practical.
Love this, thank you!!! I’m one of those people who «just want their house to look good”. Going to be using all of these tips!!!
As a physical book girl (I love the smell and feel of a new book page) with a large collection of books that upcycle by Lone Fox is amazing!
totally agree with affordable vs cheap
in japan, everyone loves Don quijote, Daiso, etc. and i even plan where i stay when visiting japan depending on where these stores are located. Lets make peace with loving good looks& beautiful style without getting hung up on how many $$$ it cost.
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU !!❤️
I love how you throw out your information quickly, clearly and are you know your stuff without any hemming and hawing! You TCB and get right to the point!!!You manage to get everything in that’s important!! Thank you very much!!!!!!!
Good video. I love that a lot of designers are talking about mire affordable options to make your home look expensive and luxe. I'm currently redoing our living room and doing mood boards to nail down the look and exactly what I want and shop with a purpose.
That gallery wall behind you is sooooo amazing!!!!! I want to do that but not sure I can pull it off like yours.
Thank you so much!! You definitely can! Use Canva to craft your gallery wall, so that you know exactly what it will look like before buying everything!
@@KivaBrent Hi Kiva, it was great chatting live with you this week. What’s canvas? I wanna do this up my stairs.
@@melisestall5090 Canva.com is a website where you can create graphics! I use their photo collage feature to mock up my gallery walls. You can also do this on photoshop and keynote/PowerPoint!
@@KivaBrent I'm not at all computer savvy, so I just use masking tape to 'sketch out' the arrangement before putting any nail holes.
Kiva, you are the Home Decor Preacher! Your practical solutions and realistic suggestions encourage us to achieve luxe spaces at affordable price points. I hope Ikea recognizes your presence on TH-cam! Btw, did you talk about how life has been for you after the TH show?
Danene, thank you so much for this wonderful comment! I didn’t talk about it on the live, but my life had been wonderful! The show has connected me to countless new subscribers who have shared so much home decor knowledge with me! I am so grateful for that opportunity!
@@KivaBrent Kiva,
I'm so happy for you. You are really good at this. I wish you the very best in all of your endeavors.
The only person I know who can truly hold my attention for the entire video!!!
Love you Keva!!!!!🤗💕
Thank you so much Joey!! 💕💕
Just found your site and subscribed. I loved it when you said most of us just want our house to look nice. This is so true most of us aren’t looking for a show home full of expensive items, we just want a nice looking home. This sentence made me want to be a subbie lol
Welcome Karen! Thank you so much! 💕
I’m doing that Malm dresser. I have a dressed from Target that looks just like it and the paper from Amazon for $8. Super excited to complete my contemporary glam bedroom!
Love everything you suggested! When I purchased my home in Brooklyn, and started my TH-cam channel to document my home decor journey I looked for a lot of ways to make my home look lux, and I bought a concrete planter!!! Love it
Yay!!! I bet it looks amazing!
I love your practical advice. It's also good to see you implement your own advice well. Your living room is beautiful!
You are so down to earth! I love it!!!!!
I use the 3 drawer Malm dresser as a nightstand. Love the gold touch! And the hardware!
I’m only on the Moss tip but my mind is blown 🤯 girl, you are so impressive.. Every word that comes out of your mouth is important… You are so good at being concise and entertaining… Thank you
I'm Olde, so I already have a super luxe home from years of curating furniture and art to fit my spaces. I love how you're imparting knowledge to the new people so that they can love their home instead of just live in it. Your Videos are Luxe as well, love your spaces.
So many great ideas! Shopping different departments for trays, planters, etc. as well as second hand and dollar stores are some of the best tips!
Always can count on you for great ideas on a budget!! Thank you ❤️
Thank you so much for watching Tiffany!! 💕
Probably my favorite video of yours....LOVE your honest passion!
Hi Kiva, you are right on with all your designer tips. It doesn’t matter how little you pay for an item. Whether you go to Dollar Tree, a thrift store, Home Goods, etc. It’s about the item’s potential and how it is styled. I shop all over but some of my most beautiful decor items and glassware were picked up at my neighborhood thrift. And yes, go to different depts in the store. The garden and kitchen depts have great things that go well in other rooms of the home. Why pay top dollar when you can create a gorgeous home on a budget?
Exactly, Norma!!
Great tips Kiva! Love shopping in a different part of the store for finds!
Thanks!
As always, great tips and advice. Thanks Kiva! 👍
Thanks, Anne!!!
Love your decorating style & philosophy re: luxe look for less and repurposing!!! Decorating out of the box is so FREEING AND FUN!!!!
You hit it out the park once again. Totally all great tips on items to help that elevated look for less. The moss is definitely a vibe. Was in the middle of a collaborative video, but notifications came in, I never click so fast!
Thank you so much, Nikki!!
Love seeing the incremental increases in the production quality of your videos!
Thank you, Jamal! I’m not too tech savvy, but I’m trying!
Modern Luxury Design...soooo grateful we moved sooo far away from farmhouse. great video!
You’re sitting on the sofa and your doing so shows off your beautiful background. I have a set of mercury glass jars with lids one missing, your idea of moss is perfect for it. Thanks for sharing ❤️
I just discovered you kiva and I’m so glad I did! You talk my language. You have energy and amazing insight and creativity. Thank you for sharing all of that with us❤️
I love all this! I literally just made wall moss art this week in my newly decorated living room. I didn’t even think of going to the dollar store did it.
These are great ideas!
Thrift stores are also great places to shop for some of these items - it's amazing sometimes what some folks give away!
I really like what you did with that gold contact paper - so easy! I put black marble contact paper on the back part of the shelf of a black bookcase (inexpensive) & it makes a difference!
MOSS!! ok genius. i am so sick of the boring house plants i have. i couldn't ever put together how modern houses have the greenery without the cluttered look. you are a genius. also ur so pretty!!!! thank u!!!
I just discovered this channel and your suggestions and enthusiasm are inspiring! I literally had to pause and order a task light as it completely solved a lighting issue in my entryway. Thank you for the inspiration!
You are SO right about getting those more affordable concrete planters from places like Home Goods. I love Home Goods and stores alike and secondhand furniture stores because of the unique finds you discover when you take your time looking. I literally found a concrete planter set, beautiful looking, one of the pieces was $12, the other $15. They are gorgeous and neutral tone!
This is one of my favorite of your videos I've seen because you present key points about design including layering and individual style. I'm excited to try the bookcase with wallpaper idea, dresser up cycling, boxes, and trays.
Thank you so much Simone! I’m excited to see how those projects turn out. 💕
Kiva , you always have so much great info! Love your channel, love your ideas. I'm now painting my own canvas art thanks to you! Great video!!
Thank you Julie!! I’m sure it’ll look amazing! 💕
Gosh, I love Kiva! 😄 This was awesome. We appreciate it. Thank you!
Thank you Kiva ! All of your ideas are doable ! I love each one and I. Planning on repurposing, upcycling and shopping at my fav stores -IKEA and Home Goods . Your video was highly informative, relative , timely and without explaining for 20 minutes how you do what you do! I subscribed and I’m excited to see all your ideas . Thank You again!
I think i’ve found my new favorite and you’re a sister with whom I can relate on several levels; i couldn’t ask for more! I love your videos; you’re down to earth, relatable and simply awesome! I wouldn’t mind watching you on HGTV! Keep up the good work!🦋
Thank you so much Sophia!! 💕
I get so many new ideas from your videos!!! Thanks so much 👍🏻 Can’t wait to get shopping 😊
Aaah a new queen for my YT “Decor Diva” playlist! ☺️❤️
For books to decorate with I love to go to thrift shops. I’ve found so many beautiful books for just a few dollars! You can always paint them too if you want them to all be one specific color.
It is sad to see people demote books to a decor commodity. Books are for reading, loving, and reflection, and "display" because they are meaningful. Anything else seems incredibly shallow...
Or, cover the books in gift wrapping paper if you want them to look the same on the shelf.
Kiva, You pack so much good information into one video!!
You have inspired me today:))
Thank you so much, Cheryl!!
I really enjoy your channel. You are so down to earth with great advice. You and I are at the complete opposite in our interior styles. I'm hyper traditional with lots of French gothic antiques. The thing that really surprised me was how warm, beautiful and inviting your modern space is. You have me considering to add more modern pieces to my decor. Thanks and keep the videos coming 😊
Your home is beautiful! In love with all of the natural light you have too.
Thank you for your great videos! You are such a great inspiration and fun to watch. ❤️🌷
Thank you so so much for watching!! 💕
Really cool video! I finally found a TH-camr that has exactly my style. Thank you for inspiring me with every single one of your videos ❤️👍👍👍
Thank you so much, John!
KB - I just picked two billy oxberg bookcases to upcycle... so very excited. Love your channel and your wonderful ideas. Thank you for sharing your talents with us.
I LOVE watching your videos 😊
You have such Energy, you make me want to get up out of my chair and Start DIY'ing 🤗 I want to do All of the projects you talk about.. Thank you so much for your ideas ! 😍
Hey KB! I absolutely agree! The Billy Bookcase will be subbed for the Pax system for my shoes because it’s $49 each for 3 (I have a lot of Shoes.). Also the Amazon Task light is literally in my cart. Good vid!
Customizable Ikea furniture...love the idea!!!
Me too!!
I love her too! She is great and very enthusiastic
I think I just fell in love with your channel! Thank you!
Wow! Kiva you have almost 100k subscribers!! When I started following you, you had around 25,000. Your videos are informative and inspiring!

Sis you are the first interior designer I’ve seen keeping it real!👏🏾
LOVED THIS VIDEO SO INFORMATIVE AND YOU DIDN'T BEAT AROUND THE BUSH----JUST KEPT IT MOVING WITH SOME VERY GOOD ADVICE. THANKS FOR ALL THE WONDERFUL TIPS.
I LOVED this video. I immediately subscribed!! Such amazing tips. We are looking to add shelving to our office to make it more of a "library." (My husband is a book hoarder🙄) The Billy bookshelves are definitely the way to go!!
Welcome to my channel Patti!! Happy to have you! I’m sure that’ll look beautiful in your office! 💕
These are great ideas! Also, your production values are excellent! Beautiful camera and sound is great. Keep up the great work!
Thank you so so much Sarah!! 💕
Your comment of you deserve a luxury home...it just made my day! You inspire me and you are on point with everything! By the way, still loving my bedroom makeover, you are the best!!!!
I have a plain Target bookshelf and I'm definitely going to line the back with a nice peel and stick. What a great idea.
You are freaking AMAZING ‼️ Headed to the store now. Thank you for these tips.
Thank you so so much!! 💕
Loved this video! You give great tips ❤️
Amazing as usual! Absolutely obsessed 👏👏👏
I bought the entire Malm bedroom set when it first came out years ago. Mine was in a dark brown stain. It made my bedroom look like an expensive upscale hotel. Love those clean lines.
