Thank you very much. Greetings from germany. My last problem is solved. Friends always ask who furnished your apartment? I answer: "Lisa Holt". The world is a village. All the best to you from my heart!
ah ah ah...dear Ms Lisa, you are such one and unique of a kind !! Fastforwarding your voice for info matters....is SO funny (and not bothering us with the details), thank you so much! (for your lovely humour!!! ;) We just moved in a studio...after living in a 4-bedroom house!! (OMG! we did! and we love it...) Therefore, your video and advice are SO PRECIOUS! (mirror! huge art work! shelf above a door, same colour palet for a rug.....so guuuuud! :) I took good notes....a million times: thank you Ms Lisa!!! helene :))
Yay Helen! I'm so glad you found this helpful, I have four more additional small space videos on my channel. You could check out as well. Thanks so much for being a subscriber!
That’s some really cool ideas to even use for like my house I have 7-8 rooms that make up my home none of them are large. It’s an older home so they weren’t made to have big bedrooms, so I have problems with the scale of what furniture is today and the size of my rooms they begin to feel crowded and cluttered, so these were some really good ideas that I could implement! The fact that you just solidified the fact of my one color walls floors ceilings well I’m already doing that because for me it made my room look bigger so I’m glad I’m doing something right lol! Thanks Lisa for always giving us tips and tricks!
Your content is always so great. I have learned so much from you and have been able to decorate my son’s apartment so that it is functional and attractive. He loves it. He purchased a few high quality furniture pieces, large art, nice lamps. Colorful and cozy. Couldn’t have done it without listening to Lisa! Thank you.
You are right about monochromatic making space seem larger. I just moved into a 2 bed, 1 bath 964 sq. ft. condo. I love color and have antiques. I have dark laminate floors and popcorn ceiling. I'm not painting the walls to match dark laminate or popcorn. I chose an off white blue in eggshell that picks up blue greys in my rose and green antique couch and chairs. I did paint doors and trim same color in semi-gloss. Love it! I will live with my living room looking smaller, with too much furniture and maximalist decor. You have to go with what you love. Also the sliding glass door in the living room facing the green space beyond opens it somewhat. Everyone who has come in seems genuinely wowed. Follow your passion, folks.
I totally agree with you I live in a 500 ft² apartment and I have big antiques and a big couch the thing is you can put big furniture in a place the thing is don't put too much of it so smaller furniture can make small spaces look even smaller and I do not choose to live in a white Box either
I can see one small problem with an area rug that too closely matches the floor color. As one gets older, and one's vision gets worse, it gets harder to distinguish between the rug and the floor. And the rug can become a trip hazard.
Yes! Thanks for validating the area rug / floor idea. I avoid area rugs if at all possible, or use a color that closely matches the floor. Family keeps trying to push rugs on me 🤮
Area rugs that match the floor? Brilliant! I had never thought of that before seeing your video. I have two fairly small guest rooms that will be remodeled soon, and I really wanted rugs in there for comfort and warmth. I have already bought the flooring, so now I can shop for the right rugs! Thank you!
That is awesome! IF you'e doing that kind of remodeling, are you already part of the Dezignclub? It's packed with great insider info to help you save money and get your questions answered and ultimately, get spaces that you love! Check it out…www.dezignclub.com
A great big thank you. You confirmed some of the decisions that I have made. I am working with a long very narrow living space. Will be painting everything white, and will use a 120 inch sofa, and an accent chair. I will skip the rug. Creating a 4 x 5 textured art canvas. Before purchasing the furniture I will map it out with painters tape on the floor.This channel is very helpful, and you are a design genius!
Once again you never fail in your wonderful way of teaching people how to represent their home or apartment and sometimes one doesn’t even need to spend a lot of money ❤❤thank you for your service 👏
@@LisaHoltDesign your advice is brilliant. I made the error of using metro tiles in small bathroom with grey grout but corrected this to the 24"x24" for both en-suites and wetroom and it looks much better. The issue with the smaller tiles is you're guaranteed to get slither cuts somewhere! I'll send some pics to you? Keep up the good work, I'm a fan in every sense. Dan x
I’m so exited to see your new video. Thank you. Lisa, I miss you so much. I’ve been watching your old videos repeatedly. I also like your Q&A and special guest appearance content.
Love the rug advice! Thank you Lisa for this video, I live in London UK and what are tiny rooms in US here are just normal size so always struggle to visualise on the examples given...but this one is just perfect!
Lisa- I enjoy you so much!! Your creativity, energy, and warmth all all conveyed in such a wonderful professional way… truly to be admired and yes thank you! Truly appreciated!
So glad I saw this before building our very small house later this year. Great ideas that I haven't heard anyone else mention. 👍 Will be subscribing for sure!😄
Love, love this video. I have a bungalow in Florida a block from the water and this content was excellent! Btw~ you are missing an E in envelope. Great channel!
Perfect timing. About to move into a 1480 sq. ft., 3 bdrm. custom home, having downsized from one three times as big. Totally new dimensions and style. Thanks for the tips, especially about the rug.
i love your energy lisa!!! im excited to renovate my 1 bed condo (768 sq feet). it has high ceilings... and some decent windows out to a decent size patio. can't wait to figure it out!!! maybe the dezign club will help. :-)
We live in a 1939 small house of 1000sqft with 8 ft ceilings. I have paint d all the walls, ceiling, trim and kitchen & bath cabinets the same color- it has really opened it up. Our old dark oak and walnut furniture pops against the SW Alabaster- I also added natural color linen curtains with matchstick blinds (due to cost of curtains I have “dummy” panels that don’t close all the way so the blinds help with light control) but I fail with the area rugs on our medium pecan stained wood floors- they have color and movement more on the new “vintage” style. I don’t have a lot of art or pictures on our walls or lots of tchotchkes but more curated things through our 40 years of marriage- we are not collectors, maximalists or even minimalists- we just keep everything simple with a few things we love not what’s trendy- except for plants- we love live greenery so several plants in each room and our outside garden is coming along very well. What Lisa is recommending is perfect for small spaces because it works for us and people are surprised how large our rooms look though the largest is our 15x16 entry/living room (the 2 bedrooms are 11x13 and 11x14, the bath is 5x7, the eat in kitchen is 11x14).
@@LisaHoltDesign I have been following you forever and you had mentioned this a few years ago and I repainted every where in our house back then! You rock!
I moved from a 3500 sft suburban house to a city with a view 1600sqft apt - I am still struggling with area rugs for over the light cream wool carpet to deal with children and red wine. I want light colored rugs but can I get away with a pattern? A big pattern? How similar in color does it have to be? Your photos were light but not exact same carpet. So far your advice has been priceless
Great video thank you. We live in a small house and when you walk in the door you can see into the bedrooms. Do you suggest making your envelope all the same colour in all the rooms.
Lisa, thank you for your channel, very useful tips. I need your help: I live in a 800sq ft unit, top floor (37th floor)with lots of light exposure facing west, I want to block the heat without blocking the view. The kitchen counter is black with veins, dark wood floors and the doors and baseboards are white, should I do vinyl shutters? What color? Thank you Lisa❤
Great video: lots of good informations with plenty of visuals delivered with plenty of humour and positive energy. This is going to be very helpful to organize and redecorate my small living room. Thank you from France : )
Q- cluster of hats vs. gallery wall: Do the hats work, because they are all the same or is it the spacing? I have several paintings that are like 16*20/ 11*14, could it work if they are all super close together? They are gallery wrapped, but distinct pieces (not abstract or triptych).
@@LisaHoltDesign - Thank you, Lisa. I used to work in a frame shop, and learned a lot from the various designers using our business to help them design/decorate their customers' homes. One thing I learned is that framing & matting a number of pieces with the same color values & materials (e.g. black & white family photos from the 40's all matted with white and framed with thin pale gray frames) could create a cohesive visual unit if hung closely & precisely, e.g. three by three to create a single visual unit out of nine antique photos. This also works with smaller canvases created for the purpose (e.g. all painted the same general shades of layered blues with various cloud formations on them.) This works while you're saving up for that enormous artwork by your favorite artist that is six feet tall and framed in a gilt frame from the late 1800's -- available at auction for thousands. Ulp.
PERSONALITY PLUS!! Lisa is so fun. I love it when her mouth goes one way and her words say something else - it makes me laugh to see how quickly her brain catches the error and makes the switch to save the sentence!!
Thanks. My space has light flooring for kitchen, hallway and bathroom. Trying to figure out how to marry them all with the dark “wood” vinyl everywhere else.
I sure could use your help with the new house we're building. It's on the side of a ridge, in the woods. We have inherited some antique accessories that my parents brought back from Europe in the '60's. I'm trying to figure out how to use them in a more modern looking house. What do I do with an antique spinning wheel? Cottage in the woods with blond woods, off white walls and dark bronze window frames, blended with a bit of old world - does this sound completely crazy?

NOW YOU MUST ADDRESS why folks in suburbia often have small dogs and city dwellers, big ones!
The dogs, lol, so true. Massive dogs in tiny homes…I don’t get it.
That’s a brilliant idea about looking for houseboat/ RV furniture. Thanks for the suggestion!
