Please come back with more videos, we miss you!
Missing you and your fabulous content! Take care.
Yes, please come back loved your content! miss you
Thank you (again)!
In addition to sharing the key errors that we might be making, you’ve gone the extra mile and explained WHY they don’t work.
And no judgement - sometimes a room or a budget or both leave us little choice. It’s so reassuring and realistic to acknowledge that when we can do better, we will.
So, enlightened by your expertise, we know specifically how to address the challenges. I appreciate the charts and measurements, including the various references to scale and proportion.
The nightstand may be the smallest piece of furniture in a bedroom but I have learned from you that it has many roles: bookcase, tabletop for decor and personal essentials, plus a partner to the lighting plan, etc., etc.
It’s impressive that a designer at your professional level would also share how to incorporate humble IKEA products into our homes.
Thank you!
This is one important subject; entering a beautiful bedroom excites the emotion of wanting to stay. Great tips!
How are you? been missing your videos? I hope you are well and hope to see you soon.
I love your videos. You are eloquent, informative and an all around good teacher. You know your craft well and it's easy to follow your advice as it all makes good sense. Thank you for showing your bedroom as an example of what you are teaching. Having said that, I love the paint color on your walls. May I ask what the color is?
One of the most informative videos I've seen! And I've watched years worth!
there's a ton of what not to do videos out there but yours actually provides practical solutions that normal people can implement. Thank you for this...🎉
One of the things I like about Miriam is that she understands that the vast majority of people don't have large spaces and bottomless pockets - and even that some might be poor. The fact that she can be a fantastic designer of high-end homes but still give tips about IKEA hacks, painting thrift-store finds, and properly dealing with frustrating and poorly laid out small rooms is WONDERFUL!
Thank you Miriam! This episode contained a lot of very valuable information. I recently did a bedroom remodel in which, unfortunately, I had to stuff a king size bed. A few of your suggestions were most helpful and I especially appreciate the points that included measurements.
You have an amazing knack for explaining why things look better (or worse) in a room ... I have several problems you discuss - reach in closet and entry door on wall 1, bathroom door on wall 2, a double window on wall 3, and a single window on wall 4 - which leaves little room for any furniture or storage. I opted for a dark wood bedroom set with queen bed with drawers under at the foot board so I could at least store a few bigger things. I have 1 60" high by 42" wide dresser with a TV hung above on wall 2, the 58" high bed against the window on wall 4 with 2 32" matching nightstands, and hung small pendants from the ceiling over the nightstands which have built in charging and floor lighting. I'm at the stage now where I am thinking about what color to paint the room, which has no rugs, a blonde wood floor, and bright white woodwork and trim. I will probably add some trim on the walls to try to balance the windows, with maybe 1 shade darker inside the trim ... I need to think and think about color and details because it does not come naturally for me ;-) I would have liked to get unmatched bedroom furniture but was afraid that it would look too cluttered in a small room (12' x 11'). Anyway, thank you for sharing your expertise!
Very helpful. Thank you!
Thanks for giving credit to content creators out there, I am not one but agree some do a great job and good to see you incorporate high and low in your designs when the budget calls for it. Hope you are feeling better and even under the weather you looked fabulous!
Love your tips! Thanks so much for your informative videos.
Thank you for your valuable information
Thank you for sharing great and useful tips
Extremely helpful thank you so very very much
WOW! thank you for such good information even when you are under the weather! Thank you...... love your style. & grace
Thank you! So many great hints for a beautiful bedroom.
Really good information. Thank you so much.
Being a Canadian living in Toronto I wish you would include Canadian sources for the various products you recommend. In store even better. I like to see and feel feel the quality of what I am buying be it sheets or furniture.
She suggested IKEA . That helps. 👍🏼
❤I like the calm presentation. And the content! Thank you!❤️
Thank you! This was most helpful.
Thank you so much for this video. I have learnt a lot from it. Will be using these tiips.
First of your videos I have watched. Very helpful! Lots of in-depth info on lighting, rugs and misc. I am a new subscriber and fan. Thanks, I look forward to watching more.
As always, great information Miriam. Thank you. I pray that you are feeling better soon!
That’s my hope too. Hope to see your new video soon Miriam.
Very nice video. I love a soft light and lofty bedroom.
Love all your videos. I hope you will make more soon. I’m moving to our small new home and I have been hooked on your videos.
Outstanding video! Very helpful as I redecorate my bedroom. Thank you!

Thank you for taking the time to explain the correct way for designing your bedroom excellent information!♥️
Feel better soon. Excellent tips
Thank you! Great information
Great info. Very helpfull
Excellent videos! Thank you for the tips!
My first view ofif your channel showed me things I could immediately use. Some I am limited with but to get the basic premise one can manipulate around the shortcoming. Thank you fir your thoughtful reasoning.
Soooo good. Thanks!
Love your bed! I have a similar one picked out from Ballard Design. Hope you feel better. You always look beautiful!
Good morning Miriam, another quality talk.
Always such great information and a pleasure to watch!
👌🏻
I usually don't like what decorators do, especially in high-end magazines, but I love the visuals you showed of your bedrooms and your advice. Can you recommend a mattress and box spring for the elderly with pain problems? Husband is 6'1" 216lbs. I cannot find a mattress and box spring that doesn't have a lot of negative reviews. I know you have to try the mattress but what do you have? And if you recommend the frame that adjusts to different positions. And we wanted to buy a big down comforter. One great tip was to get a comforter a size larger. So a king for out queen bed. And pillows. Your pillows look amazing and they are so hard to find. Pillows for sleeping and decorating. Thank you so much! Kind regards, Kathy
Very good tips!
Lovely useful tips! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🌹🤍
Amazing as always! Going to drapery’s video now ❤
Your headboard is gorgeous! Great video.
Hi Miriam, I hope you are well and enjoying the summer! Will you be uploading new content in the future? I hope so! I love your channel and feel it is the only one like it on TH-cam! I always feel well informed after watching your channel!
Thank you for the great tips 😁
Your videos have helped me create a beautiful home (newly built). So much so that it will be featured in a magazine and all thanks to you.
Would love to see it
thank you
Thank you for such a useful con tent! Where can I find those cheat sheets about lighting etc. that you’re showing on your video?
Miriam...You are the BEST on the internet. PERIOD!
You stated that if your panels are stationary it should be a panel and a half, if memory serves me.
What are you considering a panel and a half? Does the wall width that it is covering matter?
Is it the width of the wall space to be covered by 1.5 to 2 times that measurement?
Please share your expertise.
With Great Appreciation
Hi, a panel and a half refers to the width of the fabric, which is generally 54 inches per panel. the larger the window and wall the larger your drapery should be. Panel and a half should be the minimum width being used
Hi Miriam, I will love recommendations on kitchen sinks
Love, Love this video, will definitely check out that site for lux sheets, I have a small bedroom, have a queen size bed & can't fit nightstands on either side, so I'm getting a full size bed, only a few inches down, but every bit helps, I absolutely love your style!
Good info
Great video, where did you buy your headboard, I love it
Great information! I have a desk and need some sort of area rug for a rolling chair on hardwoods. Any advice on dimensions for that rug as far as how many inches from the desk?
Love your videos❤ could you one about how to choose a rug: colour and size please ?
Check out our other videos where we talk about Rug sizes
All great points and suggestions. I ordered the Brook Linen bundle, and they have an incredible sale right now. I really needed a white duvet cover for my white comforter and an extra set of sheets are always a good idea. I'm hoping the quality is nice, I'm a bit picky with my bedding. Thank you for sharing this site.❤
I am thoroughly enjoying sleeping in the sheets and I too am extremely picky
I'm completely re-doing my master bedroom 4 years after losing my precious husband. There is fresh paint and a new floor, but I've been putting off buying the furniture. It has been difficult to make decisions, especially with furniture, but I know how I want it to look... classy, bright, feminine and cozy. Unfortunately, I find it difficult to get comfortable lying in bed to read, watch t.v. or be on the laptop, so I know that I want a pretty chaise lounge to stretch out on. I already have a blonde armoire with doors to hide the t.v. if I want to. I wish I had you to help me!
Thank you for such useful content. I love the wall color in your bedroom. What is it?
I have the same question.
Good video
Would love information on your bed. It’s beautiful
Hi, thanks for watching. I’ve had this bed for many many years and originally bought it as a hand carved piece from Italy. I know there are a few companies that still carry this look. I believe Ballard designs as well as eloquence are two of the companies that still sell them.
Love all your videos! I have been watching you for a long time - you’re the best, by far. We are currently in the process of building a custom home in NC, really early in the process. The plan is pretty much ready (finally) and we are trying now to source the limestone and brick for the exterior. Our samples of Texas Limestone were awful! So much yellow; just hideous. I want the lighter and various tones (soft white/ivory, various shades of gray (nothing dark), an occasional cream tone is ok, too, but having difficulty finding anything except those yellow and white variations. 😫 Do you have any ideas where I might find some help with this? Or, do you happen to know the type of limestone I would seek out (from my description)? I would appreciate your input immensely. I am almost 70 yrs young and want this home to be my last and best home. Thanks so much, Miriam.
Love your video. What is the shade of the paint in your bedroom?
Front gate is where l found the bed very similar
For all who have asked the paint color on her walls, I found her reply from 1 year ago; It’s Benjamin Moore HC 172 revere pewter
If you paint your interior walls Ivory is okay to have white trimming?
Hi miriam, hope you are well. Missing to see you post new videos. I alway open your page to see whether you have posted new videos. You are an inspirational to many . We miss you...
You have great information! This is the first video of yours that I have seen. I did watch to the end, however, I must say that I was quite distracted by the pauses in your speech pattern. At times it sounded more robotic and less conversational. Will check out more on your channel. 👍🏼
Miriam, what is the darker color of paint on your bedroom walls? Absolutely love....
Hi thanks for watching It’s Benjamin Moore HC 172 revere pewter
Miriam...praying you are well. It has been a while since you posted a video and I have missed all your great tips for decorating. Please send us all a message so we know you are ok. Thanks!
Hi, thank you so much for reaching out and for your support. Unfortunately, my mother’s dementia has progressed and she now requires constant care, so I am making that a priority at the moment.
@@miriammanzointeriorsYour viewers will be here. Caring for your mother is what matters most. Thank you for sharing your expertise with us. As a teacher on a budget, with champagne taste, I watch all of your videos with pen in hand. Sending my best to you and your mother.
Thank you so much for this reply for each to see. I know we have all been concerned. Sending prayers to you and your mother daily. Your viewers love you! Blessings for you both ~
It seems that this all needs to begin with the architect designing a properly sized room with windows, closets & doors appropriately placed. If they know of these rules why create such small rooms in the first place? My bedroom is much larger than my childhood bedroom & still cannot have 36" on either side of the bed no matter where I place it. No wonder why I'm always frustrated with any place I've lived. I must have an inner sense of space that my budget just doesn't allow, lol.
Miriam,
I love your cream color bed set, can you tell me where I can purchase? Thank you
No, thanks for watching. This bed is custom, but you can look to Ballard designs and eloquence for similar beds
I love your bed. Do you have a source for it? Thank you.
Hi, thanks for watching. Try Ballard designs, eEloquence and someone has said Front Gate.
Miriam, I hope you are ok! I've missed seeing you here on TH-cam. 💛
The *1 mistake is when sharing your bed with somebody else😂😂
What color paints are on your bedroom walls and trim?
I designed my new bedroom with two large runners down the sides of my bed rather than a huge area rug under the entire bed. I feel that it's such a waste of money to invest in a huge rug when you can't see 70% of it! Another huge reason is, I suffer from allergies and need to be able to have a relatively dust-free environment and vacuuming a rug UNDER my bed as I'm getting older is not an option. The runners are long and wide enough to go from my bedside dressers to the end of my bed and put under the leg of my bed at the end. It's PERFECT and so much more cost-effective as a bonus. I can clean them easily and they are easy to replace if I want to go with a different style.
Hi
I was just wondering where you’ve been l love your style and I miss seeing your designs
I hope all is well with you

Hello. Thank you for reaching out. Unfortunately my mother’s dimension has progressed so I’m taking time to help with her care and deal with her affairs.
Good morning
I really miss you , I really love your style, elegant clean, fresh, simple, pretty ,all wrapped up together to make it look just right,.
So sorry to hear about your mother. I have been a caretaker myself, and I know so many people who are now taking care of their family members so I understand.
I look forward to the day you resume your channel
Would you ever recommend a rug on top of a carpet? Thank you!
Hi, thanks for watching. I personally don’t love the look of a rug on top of a carpet but if you really do not love your carpet, this is a great way to get the look ur dreaming of
@@miriammanzointeriors Thank you, Miriam!
I do like our carpet somewhat, but it tends to look flat, without texture, like the layering techniques I often see with rugs.
And I’ve heard from various other designers that it’s a no no to put a rug on top of carpet, but because
I value your opinion, and your unique perspective, I thought; well I’ll ask.
Since I’ve made some of my own design mistakes choosing carpet color, and type, and Im not exactly loving it, I was hoping for a different perspective, I guess.
Brooklinen sheets…❤
I have beautiful hardwood floors with runners on either side of my king size bed instead of area carpet….. would you suggest this as an alternative
Hi thanks for watching. I’m not a fan of this but yes, it is an alternative.
@@miriammanzointeriors why aren’t you a fan of runners instead o area carpet on sides of huge area carpets that are are almost all under bed collecting dust especially if allergic to dust mites
I wish I could find the perfect lightbulb for the bedroom! I have a drawer full… you said to use at least 3000 K. Could you give a brand? Thank you!
Hi, thanks for watching. The problem may not be the bulb but the quantity of bulbs. One of the biggest mistakes that people make is to have a light fixture with only one bulb for a bedroom. I’m my opinion, a bedroom should have a minimum of 200 watts
@@miriammanzointeriors: I have two large crystal table lamps on each side table flanking the queen size bed. There’s also a fan above the bed, but we don’t often use the light feature. Thank you for your input!
Hello, what is the colour on the walls of your bedroom?
I would like to know also
I just saw another video and she said it was ben Moore Hc 172 Revere Pewter
Looks similar to ammonite f&b
Just an off-topic comment...I notice two pairs of eyeglasses! That's so me. I have pairs all over the house. lol
So it is really having money to spend? Money for a thicker mattress, expensive sheets, and above all a bigger room. My home has those eleven by eleven foot bedrooms and yes the queen size beds are a little large for the rooms but we sleep so good not being crowded in a full bed. For a truly lux feel I wouldn't have built in closets if I built another home. I would have large moveable wardrobes built so I wouldn't be stuck in only way to arrange my bedrooms. With a door on one wall a large closet door one another wall and a window on the third wall in each bedroom there is only one place to place the bed. Thankfully over the years I have been able to get double pillow top mattress in each bed room. I found a way to get double use from night stands. I had the top drawer cut off the chest of drawers and put the top back on . I have a short three drawer chest on each side of the bed to double as a place for folding clothes and a night stand. Perfect for my use.
Why have you stopped your videos.?
IS Miriam Ok.? She said she was under the weather in this video. I hope your ok if you're reading this
We miss you!!
I get these, but breaking the rules can look more interesting.
I like your advice but you’re so depressing
What makes you say that?
Your statement is like your last name.
The lady has style, I like every thing she says and does! Don't be so critical! Should she be doing cartwheels for you? Grow up. You sound like a teenager. Miriam us feeling under the weather! Where is your empathy? I am writing from Australia. It is 2.31 in the morning and I cannot stop watching her fabulous show, Show some gratitude or remain quiet!
@@debrasmith984 gosh I couldn’t agree with you more 🤣 you nailed it!!!!!!
But, you watched her video? Why don’t you just look for something more ‘you’ (maybe some of those crazy cartoon-like videos about Harry and Meghan. You could be best friends with them… 😂
