omg love how you show your suggestions by editing in a photo of what youre explaining, please keep doing that if you can, such a good touch and i can see immediately how much better it is
I think that Darcy should spread out the books on the bookshelf so that several of the shelves aren’t empty. Could face some books out or use knickknacks to pad the space until acquiring more books.
Maybe he's just waiting to fill the rest of the bookshelf with more books? I have the same in my home. I love to read and now I finally have a place with enough space for a big bookshelf. I didn't manage to fill the whole thing but I know I will eventually. I figured it would be wasteful to spend money on stuff that has no use or sentimental value just to make the shelf look complete for now. Also, I don't think anyone who actually consults their library on the regular would agree to displaying their books horizontally or facing out haha
I put in a few knickknacks and photos important to me and it really made a difference. Of course, there's not much room because I keep buying books lol. But it definitely needs to be meaningful things, not just any old trendy thing.
And start filling the shelves from the bottom up, instead of the top down. The way they are now looks top-heavy and frankly dangerous. PS That plant currently on top of the bookshelves could be placed on a wall bracket to the right of the shelves, where it would still get light but not clutter the floor space.
I love this style of video! I'd love it to be a recurring series (separate from reviewing people's homes) where people send in videos with spaces they need help with or design conundrums they're trying to solve and you can give your thoughts/advice!
Love these types of videos, Paige!! Agree that realistic spaces are often more interesting that the professionally designed spaces of the super wealthy on AD.
@@wasselpa will you please tell us more about the velvet robe you're wearing? It looks gorgeous and I covet it :) watching this video series has been lovely
Girl hit is out of that park, this was the best one of these I have seen. Well done Wassel. I would enjoy more of these. Wondering if other people feel the same?
Some of my favourite type of videos you make. So helpful to look at real spaces like this. If people end up sending photos after applying your advice, it would be fun to have a little update section in the outro - or just a full video of them filming their updated space…
The best solution for the TV is get a projector instead! Mounted high on the wall or from the ceiling - barely noticeable. I even have the sofa across from the windows so I just use roller shades to project on. You can even get shades with a remote control if you're extra lazy.. Extra advantages - movies on a huge screen almost like a home cinema, plua it makes TV watching more of a deliberate experience, having conversation or reading be the default, instead of the other way around. Nowadays you can get a pretty decent projector more or less the price of a TV. Highly recommended!
In the tiny apt. with the narrow dinning room consider this: make a built-in banquet along all 3 walls. A rectangular table can then be pushed up against the wall (as it is currently) but can be pulled out for guests to sit on that side in addition to the two chairs along the pathway. I think it could be a really cozy spot!
@@morgan3llis001 what do you prioritize in this space: 4+ seating, table space, open feeling? A bench along the wall could be an alternative to a banquet and also a narrower table could make it feel less cramped. If you don’t care to add anymore seating then focus on the feeling you want to evoke: cozy vs open. Cozy=more fabrics (rug, chair covers or pillows), textures perhaps a wallpaper, pendent lamp for mood lighting, etc. Open=large mirror, leggy chairs & table, bright artwork. Restaurants are good for inspo if you need it. This apt. is so cute I hope you give updates on what you end up doing!
@@lauram1288 Wallpaper would be so good. Along with a banquet/bench they could do stools where the hall is so they can be tucked under the table for daily ease of movement but pulled out when trying to seat more people.
@@lauram1288im more concerned people wouldn’t be able to squeeze into the built in against the wall 😅the wall is only four feet and the walkway space is just the size of a doorway.
I love how people in LA don't go out in the rain... I live in the North of England 🌧️☔and I'm wildly jealous. A video on replacing knobs - doors, wardrobes, dressers, would be so helpful. I have a lot of vintage furniture in all sorts of woods - pine, walnut, etc.
Love these reviews. Idea: Could you do a video covering ceiling fans? I feel like designers on tv avoid them and bash them, but in real life many of us can't. We have rent places that have them, or have rooms that absolutely need them if we don't have AC. Love to hear your thoughts on how to do fans right!
I used to live in a tropical country and, well, you don't need ceiling fans. They're super popular in America but I don't know why as they can be such an eye sore. You can just buy a fan and keep it in a closet when not in use.
@@marjorievanelven1703 Really? I think they look so cute. There are very modern ones that don't look like an eyesore. I was thinking of investing in one just to experience what Americans love about it.
I LOVE Darcy’s place! Very cool space and they have some great pieces. I would also love to see pictures when they are done. I agree that deciding what to put in the middle of the dining table can be tricky. I keep putting things that look good but then they drive me nuts because I have to move them if we have company.
You inspired me to buy a green lamp off of fb marketplace- it needs a little work but I feel completely inspired by your videos! I’m going to submit my home to you once I get rid of my grommet curtains lol
I love the direction the channel is going, having multiple kind of videos/series. I'm always learning so much and looking forward to the next. The rooms that were submitted look really nice, but with the suggestions I can see them going to the next level. I hope we see the followups. I especially liked the oval/rectangular dining table tip. I think the oval table brings too much attention on the narrowness of the room because of the shape taking more space than it should. By the way, you look really great in your robe, really beautiful color.
Designer here: In regards to the oval table, I LOVE it. There are no straight lines in nature, so curves are calming and rare in manufactured products. Store all but one or two chairs and fill the table with books and objets de art. Then it will look more intentional between your cozy and tasty dinner parties.
Maybe a random request since your videos are interior design related, but I'd love to see how you get ready! You always look so fresh and put together.
In the last one, I think the jutting wall could be a faux mantle with furniture arranged around that. The dining room should be an office or bookshelves or music area since it is really an enlarged hallway. Make a dining area at the back of the large room. This video is so fun. I'm going to thumbs up right now!
Darcy’s place: I have to agree. So many people (including designers) put plants or baskets on the tops of large, tall furniture pieces and it seldom looks or feels right. It draws the eye up needlessly and somewhat awkwardly. It rarely works and usually attracts more attention than it ought.
I love videos like this!! Please make more, I could watch them all day. And totally agree they can be more insightful than AD tours since they’re more realistic
Paige - I love these videos. It’s fun to look at other people’s homes. I want to say: I think California agrees with you. You look rested, your skin is glowing, and your hair is shining!
For the last apartment, I think it would be really cool to get a narrow rectangular table (like you suggested), and put a bench on the other side facing the chairs. Since the bench could be pushed up against the wall - or even built in - the table wouldn’t have to be placed that far out
Love these videos. Of course the full AD no budget designs can be great inspo, but I find things with real and usually not ideal spaces so much more helpful and practical
Howdy Paige ! You trigger my decor juices so much ! I have a large house with lot’s of rooms and the homes you show in your video would seem not germane to my situation but size means nothing … your way of making space work helps me so much. I learn something from you every time I watch you. Thank you so much and keep on rockin’ ✌🏼 !
love this videos, because they are real places of real ordinary people!! and i feel the struggle in arranging a room that is already full with old furniture that dont always fit in it anymore.. having the same problem with my new livingroom.. your advices are really helping Paige thanks
my roommate and I live in a 100 yr old craftsman and we mounted our TV on a rolling stand. we only bring it out to watch movies (elementary school style) and the rest of the time its in a closet.
Page, I adore these videos. I wish I could send you sole photos from my livingroom/dining room/kitchen. I need some advices as well. I desperately search for a wool rug on Etsy but I cannot make up my mind…which one? Love your work
Fully agree with the tv thing. I have yet to find a perfect spot for even a frame tv in my living room so I’ve done without it and opted for bookcases. I’d love to see a video on mixing traditional and modern styles together❤
@elliestardust1727that sounds lovely! I have a small house, but i do have a finished basement where the tv is. I’ve considered finding a way to do a projector screen in my living room but so far I can’t think of too many clever ways to hide it lol. I hope your dream is actualized one day!
14:00 I would bring the sofa parallel to the wall you are talking about with the dresser but close to where it is. Add two chairs on the sofa wall. And add a console behind the sofa. This would create a cosy conversation area near the window. The dresser could move to the wall with the tree where you said. The whole dresser wall could be shelves.
The first house, I’d not get ride of the armchair, but instead paint the whole room beige the embrace this warm tone, and ad some polished brass sconces and a set of thin golden wood frames (slim modern ones, not the rococo’s) with very simple sketches to blend with the beige walls. Exchange the cabinets doors for plain one would be great too.
Seriously! Moved into my house 8 years ago and made the decision to have no tv in my living room. I haven’t regretted the decision once although I’ve been asked several times over the years when I plan to get one or “no tv?” Lol. (I do have one in the basement which is a family space)
Yes! If you have a laptop/tablet it’s really not necessary. And getting a mini projector that you can put away when you’re not using it is a great idea too. I hate seeing a beautifully designed room with an ugly black flatscreen on the wall
so funny I was contemplating painting the ceiling (I just frankly HATE painting ceilings) and plan to get roman shades and a kitchen lamp. I am wanting to replace my dining table (though I love it, it has two extenders, but that made more sense for my old space) but was thinking of getting a circle. Your idea is interesting. Lastly, had definitely not thought of reconfiguring the living room like that but will give it a go. I don't have a tv, but I do have a projector!
A round table would look awesome in the space. Nicely sitting 4 people without moving the table ever. Plus the room has a lot of lines. So the round table would smooth the design more, just like the oval table you own does already now.
@@elizabethm4240 I don't like projectors because the moment you want to watch a movie during the day, it's over. You need to lose the light via curtains to see clearly. At least I don't have the budget for such a good quality projector.
If you want to keep the oval table (which I also love and think you should hold onto) then I think you could make it work in the living room! It would be nice to see out the windows when you're at the dining table, too. My living room is probably smaller than yours, but I still have my dining table in there because I have no other place for it. If you went that route then you could use the small space by the kitchen for storage. Something to consider!
@@katyobrien1660 I was thinking the same thing! putting the dining table somewhere in the living area and into the nook where it was previously I would personally put some storage (if it's needed) or even the fridge if it's possible (and on fridge's former place a little prep table/breakfast nook)
For the brooklyn apartment she should put an entry console or dresser in the awkward dining area. Once she moves the sofa in the other room there would be plenty of space for a dining area and she could enjoy the natural light from the windows. In the current set up, there’s not enough space for a person to move behind the table if the chairs were actually pulled out and it feels very cramped and dark, not welcoming.
I love when you do these videos! I'm sure it takes more work on your end then maybe some other types of videos but I wish oyu'd do these more often! I just started watching this btw, I'm only like a minute in, lol. Eventually I might submit my home but I have so many family photos up, which I wouldn't want in the video so there's that, lol.
Hello from Queens, NY! Love this style of video. I would love to see a video focusing specifically on paint color - I am wanting to paint and having a hard time finding a color that is cool (like hip cool not the color tone lol), cozy, but still stylish. Also, rugs!! I know you suggest Etsy but would love to see what you are liking right now. Most of what I am seeing is the ever so popular checker print and it's not the vibe lol.
I'll be closing on my first home (a whopping 900 sqft) this month and hopefully I can get some furniture some day soon so Paige can rate my space, offer suggestions, trash it, etc. I'd love to own at least a few art pieces to hang on the walls, but it's so darn expensive I'll be lucky if I can afford the frames. I'm curious what Paige's thoughts on Murphy beds is-- or pull-out furniture in general 🤔
Great video. Re: last apartment. I think the oval table and chairs should peninsula out from between the windows and the dresser and mirror should go to alcove as a vestibul situation (painting over dresser). Or not.
No one has created a video on how to decorate the modern gray apartments and I would LOVE to see you tackle one in totality. I’m dying and I can’t find any good info online for how to decorate
I'm sorry, but why add a lamp in the already small kitchen? Just for the aesthetics? Wouldn't it be very impractical, especially since you always need counter space in small kitchens?
love these videos! do you mind sharing where the candelabra you suggested for the second space is from?? looks like etsy, so if so, what seller?! Thanks :)
Love the videos when you interact with subscribers! Can you add the detail for submission on your TH-cam? I don't have Instagram I guess you posted there . Also would love another videos where subscribers sent you stuff they plan to purchase
omg love how you show your suggestions by editing in a photo of what youre explaining, please keep doing that if you can, such a good touch and i can see immediately how much better it is
Agreed!
I was just going to comment this. The mini mock-up shots are such a nice touch 👌🏼
I love that Darcy actually has books on the bookshelf as opposed to wooden beads and whatever else one finds in excess at most stores.
And that the books aren't arranged by color.
Yes!! Was going to say the same!
YES 😂
"Wooden beads" lol. I get it's pretty but seriously how did they become a thing?
The books are not spread evenly. I would put more books to the bottom and less on the top to give the bookshelf room to breath.
I think that Darcy should spread out the books on the bookshelf so that several of the shelves aren’t empty. Could face some books out or use knickknacks to pad the space until acquiring more books.

As a book nerd that is around youtube I am pretty sure (like any other book nerd) that Darcy's bookshelves are the billy bookshelves from IKEA haha
They do have nice bookcases at Target, Walmart, Home depot, Lowes too.

Switch the layout around Darcy. Look out the window!! And if you do get a TV use it to hide the AC.
See you Sunday, then Wednesday, etc. etc. This type of video is so good and you crack me up!

on it ;)

13:27 I've been seriously thinking about copying Paige's wine rack + shelves as well 😂 (those wine racks are expensive btw)
they’re stupid expensive and the instructions to install suck but i figure i’ll have em up til i move! so it was worth it.
For the brooklyn apartment she should put an entry console or dresser in the awkward dining area. Once she moves the sofa in the other room there would be plenty of space for a dining area and she could enjoy the natural light from the windows. In the current set up, there’s not enough space for a person to move behind the table if the chairs were actually pulled out and it feels very cramped and dark, not welcoming.
I love when you do these videos! I'm sure it takes more work on your end then maybe some other types of videos but I wish oyu'd do these more often! I just started watching this btw, I'm only like a minute in, lol. Eventually I might submit my home but I have so many family photos up, which I wouldn't want in the video so there's that, lol.
I love your suggestions! They are so good! 😊
If there is one thing I learned from the Big Lebowski, the rug ties the room together.
Love these types of videos!
always look forward to your vids! where are the pillows from that you’re laying against?
I don’t think you ever need a rug under a dining table (re. Darcy’s place).
HAPPY NEW YEAR !!!!!!!!
Love your recommendations as always and also desperately need to know where your green robe is from! I've been searching forever. XN
your hair looks so good!
Hello from Queens, NY! Love this style of video. I would love to see a video focusing specifically on paint color - I am wanting to paint and having a hard time finding a color that is cool (like hip cool not the color tone lol), cozy, but still stylish. Also, rugs!! I know you suggest Etsy but would love to see what you are liking right now. Most of what I am seeing is the ever so popular checker print and it's not the vibe lol.
I'll be closing on my first home (a whopping 900 sqft) this month and hopefully I can get some furniture some day soon so Paige can rate my space, offer suggestions, trash it, etc. I'd love to own at least a few art pieces to hang on the walls, but it's so darn expensive I'll be lucky if I can afford the frames. I'm curious what Paige's thoughts on Murphy beds is-- or pull-out furniture in general 🤔
Great video. Re: last apartment. I think the oval table and chairs should peninsula out from between the windows and the dresser and mirror should go to alcove as a vestibul situation (painting over dresser). Or not.
No one has created a video on how to decorate the modern gray apartments and I would LOVE to see you tackle one in totality. I’m dying and I can’t find any good info online for how to decorate
she has one- its "so you live in a gray box" or something like that lol
@@morgan3llis001 Omg THANK YOU
paige if we sent you like blank floorplans, would you tell us how to arrange furniture? i'd love to see that for apartments im looking at
Love all of this.
I LOVE this video! In the future, do you mind linking the furniture you suggested? I'm so interested in many of your suggestions!
I love these types of videos...yes please do more! Also caught that RHONJ reference lol...lemme find out! LOL 😉
You look so good Paige and the video was great as always ❤
I have definite envy over that robe.
I enjoyed the practicality of this. Way too short. More of this please. 🙏🏾
I'm sorry, but why add a lamp in the already small kitchen? Just for the aesthetics? Wouldn't it be very impractical, especially since you always need counter space in small kitchens?
Agree one hundred percent!
It's a thing. It could be practical if the ceiling is too low for overhead lighting. I've seen lamps in weirder places, like bathroom sinks.
love these videos! do you mind sharing where the candelabra you suggested for the second space is from?? looks like etsy, so if so, what seller?! Thanks :)
obsessed with how you say mirror “meeeer”
ps - please tell me where i can get the wine rack
NVM FOUND IT
Yeeees we need more videos like this please
Do more paint color recommendations!
Another super helpful video!
There’s no tv at my house either, and I’m thinking of foregoing a sofa for a loveseat or a chaise.
That chair and ottoman you used as a replacement idea in first video is exactly what I’m looking for. Where can I find it or one like it?
Love the videos when you interact with subscribers! Can you add the detail for submission on your TH-cam? I don't have Instagram I guess you posted there . Also would love another videos where subscribers sent you stuff they plan to purchase
