- I think finding the balance between function and style can be really challenging but I also think living in a space that is beautiful and actually makes your life easier is the best part about design. When we're designing our homes for ourselves we should consider how we really live in our space so that we can pull this off. I hope this video gets you thinking more about this in your design process. Thanks for watching and I'll see you in the next one!
So many gems of wisdom in here, love it 😊
Just started watching this channel and as a TH-cam interior design junkie, I am really enjoying your fresh and unique takes. 😊 I only wish you gave more examples because I'm so visual. But otherwise really enjoying the content. X❤️
Aww thank you! I’m hoping to eventually do more examples once I can start working with real life examples that people send in cause I’m the same way with visuals (:
Your living room example really resonated with me. I always wanted a traditional layout with a coffee table, but realistically, living in a small studio apartment, it just wasn’t serving me and partner’s lifestyle. Realistically, we spend most of our time using that space to eat food while we watch TV. A small coffee table just didn’t make sense. So instead, I opted to use a round vintage drop leaf table that acts more like a kitchen/bistro table. It’s way more functional for us now, plus there’s a unique charm about having an actual table in front of your couch!
Yess love this!!
Love the video! As someone who has to have everything visible otherwise they forget things exist, this approach to design really resonates with me. Some see it as clutter but for me it’s very practical. I also appreciate a maximalist aesthetic so it pairs well
Interesting, I also have the same 'out of sight out of mind' mentality, but for me it works in the opposite way - if I'm surrounded by a bunch of things and clutter, I can't focus or relax. Having many things around overwhelms me, so I have a minimal approach to interior design.
I still incorporate color though, and my things are curated, with a mix of contemporary and vintage. Minimalism doesn't have to be boring and lifeless. But most of my things are both functional and decorative (e.g. lamps, books, trays). So I guess I'm more into functionalism than minimalism? For me this approach works well to balance function and style. Instead of buying a decorative sculpture, I get a cool looking table lamp. Though art on the walls is a must haha
I really like the topics covered in this video and look forward to the next one! Thank you for your insight!
Interesting take on interior design in a saturated TH-cam. I recently removed the coffee table and a couple of chairs to make space for more functional movement in my living space. Check out the home of biomechanist Katy Bowman, whose whole house is designed to encourage the use of as many human joints as possible.
I really like your videos! I hope you keep doing them and improving. Love from Spain!
Definitely focusing on function for your lifestyle rather than following trends can begin to feel authentic to you and not copy and paste approach which can get boring and uninspiring. Love your take 🔥
Absolutely!! 💕
