I just took a photograph of your list
I have ZERO design skill, but karate chopping my pillow, I can handle LOL. THANKS!
I think, you should try to do this for your home:) ruclips.net/video/u63jnZR5eAM/видео.html
😀
Lol 😂😂😂
🤣🤣💪🏽👊🏽
😂😂😂
I feel like I learned so much from just an 11-min video, thank you! :))
Same here!
😁
Me too!
ruclips.net/video/AztF4EicKpQ/видео.html
Me too I should’ve watched one long time ago
Totally just measured my wall art. Not 57" 😬. Got some more prints to add below 😂. Thanks for these tips!
🙊❤️
LOVED today’s video! Im definitely feeling inspired to find ways to incorporate these tips around my home now! Super informative and helpful!
I love Kirstens tips for decorating our homes she allows your mind to connect to colour , texture, organisational skills which you new you had with a little driving lesson.x
Kristen is a down-to-earth practical interior designer who makes the most of what she has to work with, creating beautiful interior spaces to overjoy anyone. Creativity, ingenuity, practicality, and hands-on hard work are her unique hallmarks in this DIY RUclips design space.
Kristen has put together a succinct, well organized summary master-class of interior design accessable to even the most novice of homeowners. So well done.
I agree 100% ❤
The cohesive home tip was exactly what I needed. I’m a new DIYer and I’ve been overwhelmed with matching colors !! Thanks so much.
Love the casual vibe of these videos and inserting lots of examples as you talk :) . We’ll be moving soon so excited to follow through these tips and binge more of your videos!
Thank you for your generous wealth of valuable information! So many self-perported experts on RUclips give little or none. Plus, your videos are professionally top notch. Last but not least, you're absolutely adorable, lovable and easy to watch. Kudos to your adorable parents too!
Thanks for the tips. I'm gonna have to measure all my pictures now to 57"! And you've inspired me to keep the same color palette throughout the house. Keep on with your talent. You're inspiring and informative.
I love how you left the example photos more stationary in this video rather than panning. Like the 57” tip!!!
The 57 inches mid point for art work was really important for me to learn. I never knew this tid-bit of information & cant wait to go in & measure how far off my art is off or on que! Thanks for all the fantastic advice. Can’t wait to see more from you...
I'm a visual merchandiser for a small local store. I really love your videos! I use the tips from them to help me with designing displays. Recently I've been getting compliments from customers even! Thanks for sharing! Great insights!
Can you do a video on decorating an open floor plan. Kitchen, straight to dining , straight to living room. I’m lost! It’s a big box.
Yessss great idea! I need that video!
Same here ❣️
I’ll wait for the video
You literally answered every design question I had in this one video!! Thank you so much, you have amazing talent❤️ please keep these videos coming 👍🏾
I’d LOVE a video on how to incorporate old heirlooms, antiques, or meaningful items that might not look the right style, into a home!! My struggle is I have things that I love but I struggle finding place for them with the look I’m going for, but I see other people incorporate old and new and different styles effortlessly. I have a lot of things that I feel make a house feel childish but I know other people do great and showcasing these things really well (nerdy posters, nerdy figurines, old family clocks, old paintings). Also if you could please please recommend some books on home decor and making a house a home that would a great as I really trust your judgement 💕
i'm struggling with the exact same thing.
i got some amazing quality stuff from my great grandma......that looks sooo dated if i just put it on display as is. i'm just trying to match their color, but it's.... hard
This !
Such a good one-- I love mixing in the old with the new! Like a new, modern frame with matting for a poster, or putting my old clock or lantern on my mantle next to some new items. Love this topic 👏 ❤
One principle I think is really important (that dovetails with Scale) is Visual Weight. Making sure that the furniture and decor you use have appropriate visual weight REALLY helps! Visual weight is a product of factors such as size and color (and even pattern). For instance, bold colors are interpreted by the brain as visually heavier. Knowing this will help you maintain balance among your furniture and objects. A lazy boy is going to look heavier than a traditional chaise. Generally, it’s a good practice to stick to one area of the spectrum (e.g. it’s not recommended to decorate with both a delicately framed chaise and a chunky lazy boy in the same space). : )
57” photo tip is one I definitely didn’t know! Thank you for sharing
I absolutely love learning tricks and tips about decorating! It's my favorite thing. The moment you said 57 inches to the middle of the picture I got up and went to measure!! Yay! I was pleasantly surprised!! Thanks for sharing!
Best overall, concise advice seen in months.
I thought l knew quite a lot of this but your clear uncluttered theory and examples or what to do and what not to do, was fantastic. I can now see what l need to do...l have areas that work but need to be cohesive with all my areas and rooms.
Respect to you. Thank you. 😘
I feel like my mind just expanded! I have always been frustrated with my lack decorating skills, despite my high level of interest.
I am looking around at my home now and it’s like you highlighted exactly what needs to be changed! I can do this. TY!!!!
I like all of the decor info. My livingroom, dining room and kitchen have the same color palate as well as my bedroom. The guest room has a different color palate. So I guess I am doing something right.
Really love that you show pictures of not only what looks great and cohesive, but pictures that are showing examples of things that don’t look put together correctly. So many videos I’ve seen only show what is correct and stylish. Thank you for such a well done video. New subscriber!
ruclips.net/video/AztF4EicKpQ/видео.html
I only wish they were labeled as such because I know nothing about design and sometimes can’t tell the difference.
Those jars, I'm already looking on Amazon, that's a wonderful idea.
Kristen, thank you so much for this video! After so many years of mismatching (pretty much everything), you just showed me what adjustments I need to make. I look forward to watching your other videos!
This is literally so helpful for me right now because I’m finally getting my own room and I need to know how to decorate it! 😫😫 LIFE SAVER!
This is such an amazing video! I wish I had found it when I was teaching art. You explain most of the principles of design in such a practical way!
I've been looking for this type of video for a long time. I'm going to have to watch this again. Very tasteful.
I love this video!! So inspiring. I looked for "interior design" on RUclips because I realized while writing to my friend that I really like this kind of stuff. Now that I've watched it, I'm even more interested than a few minutes ago! I am excited right now because I think I can become more intentional when decorating my home and now have some ideas I never thought of, like how I place pillows!
Love the grouping in 3's, it really works!
I do the placement of 3 decor items and it is like
Magic for spaces as well as much of the other tips you gave. Was just reaffirming that these tips make a difference. Over the years shopping high end furniture stores has helped to realize color And placement are key and going for a cohesive look. Finally to younger women take charge of your home environment don’t be bullied by a guy but do Keep comfort in mind.✨✨
Great tips! I’ve always followed the tip about placing art at eye level. I love all the pictures you put in your videos, it really helps me see exactly what you’re talking about.
I already use many of these ideas, but it was nice to hear my design process be confirmed by a designer. I especially like to use the groups of three! Thanks!
Thank you so much Kristen. Your video has helped me looked at decorating differently; we’re just bought a new home moving soon . Thanks 😊
I feel like I'm the only person that thinks the chopped pillows look so stupid. 🤦🏽♀️
I'm with you. I don't like the chopped pillows.It seems I've heard that chopping pillows is OUT!
@@alohaleslie9407 I hope so! It looks so dated and just so weird. Pillows are supposed to look soft and fluffy and chopping them makes them look sharp and dense.
@@imjustdoingmybest6236 When pillows are chopped, it doesn't invite me to sink in and sigh. Awwww, how comfy. Nope, it makes me think that the person who chopped wants everything to look perfect. DO NOT TOUCH. How inviting is that???
@@alohaleslie9407 yes exactly!
No, even before she mentioned it, I was wondering why the pillows looked weird. Just my personal preference.
Amazing!!!! This was the only video I needed to watch rather than watching style ideas for hours and still feeling lost and overwhelmed with decorating. Thank you!!!! 🥰🥰🥰❤❤❤
look forward to these videos every week 🥰 thank you so much Kristen💕 stay safe !!
I love that your videos are clear and concise and don't go on for too long. I learn a lot from you! Thank you.
Hi, Kristen! Thank you for these styling tips! We like the tip of "groups of three" and I try to use this technique when decorating my living room.
Yes!🤗✨
My favorite thing about the groups of 3 was the use of the word "groups". I have heard this a long time but in my head it was previously "items". Groups makes a big difference.
I’d like to see your tips on adding natural elements to my home.
Wow! I watch a lot of interior design videos and that was super informative and quick! You speak very fast yet clear. Seriously, you managed to talk about a lot of important things in 11 minutes + examples. Quality video.
Great tips! To add on, I've found that adding a circular mirror above any small piece of furniture (nightstand, dresser, entryway table, short bookshelf) helps "finish" the space!
I’m always sad when I see cute decorated coffee tables because my huge dog would take that all down with one tail swipe lol 😪 thank you for all your tips!
Same have a labrador that clears coffee tables with his tail.
That is sad.
You don't want a coffee table decorated, trust me, you'd have to remove the decoration to make room for whatever plate or cup you want to place on the table and in time you would avoid using that coffee table at all.
My husband and I are building our first home, so I found this video extremely helpful! My biggest challenge is making everything cohesive. I found the wall decor rule to be the most helpful because in the past places we have rented, we had paintings too high up or not high enough :/ the decorating in groups of 3 is my favorite tip & I’ll definitely be applying that to the new home 🤍 thank you for sharing!
Much fun with your new home! Watch that part about groups of 3 again and see, that it is not everywhere, for then it looks very superficial. See that picture with the book shelves? Some are in groups of 3, but there are also 2 balanced ones (another tip) and even 1 bigger item down below. Thus it stays inviting for the eyes to watch and not weirdly staged.
@@gardenjoy5223 thank you for the tips! ☺️
36 year old dad here. My place is done up MCM. I appreciate the concise delivery and staying on topic.
Symmetry is my favorite tip. Thank you for all the great tips Kristen!! ⭐️❤️👍🏻🌸🌼
Perfect timing for these tips. I’m about to finally decorate my dining room walls with some pictures so the 57” eye level tip is one I’ll def try. Thx!!
These tips are really amazing.. Especially the tip about hanging art pieces.. 😘
OMG! Thanks so much, i"m decorating my house at this moment end i have seen so many videos on youtube and this is the first time someone mention this. THANKS
Great ideas I love pillows, they really add that comfortable feeling I am home. When you are using candles get the led candles. They are much cleaner.
Wow, this video is exactly what I was looking for: advices and examples at the same time. Thank you! 👌🏻
I used some of her principles in arranging my plants- enjoy
Girrrrl, I needed this video in my life lol! Totally saving to refer to as I decorate, THANK YOU!!
🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
I don't know anybody but you who is so enthousiastic and motivated about their work/hobby . I like that about you and your videos. Keep on going❤️🇳🇱 (greetings from The Netherlands)
Im moving really soon and I’m so excited to add more decor to our home. I struggle with layering things and making it look cohesive. Thanks for the tips!
This is just one person‘s opinion but I do NOT like the “karate-chop” look on pillows. I’ve raised my children and have grandchildren, and it looks like they were either playing on my bed or messing around on my couch (when I see a karate-chop pillow), and I wanna walk over and fluff it back up.🤷🏻♀️🙀
•••
I don’t 100% dislike it but I just think it looks unkept and Messy!! But other than that; I love your ideas and I have learned a lot from them so thank you for all the fresh ideas...👻👻 Take care, stay healthy and be well 🧡🎃🤍👻🧡
I fluff then chop.
I don't like it either. Looks like little cats.
I agree
I just think it doesn't look good at all
Agree
3:38 57" is way too low for most people. We all aren't 5'2". 62" - 65" is more appropriate in my opinion
These are great tips! I bought a couch recently and was stuck on what kind of pillows to get, great work Kristen!
Thanks so much for sharing! Believe me, I need all the advice I can get. My home is definitely not cohesive so I will definitely take your tips when I start revamping my house again.
Thank you for this!
How do you recommend styling a wall over a couch with a cathedral ceiling? The 57” guideline doesn’t quite fit, although the bottom row of my arrangement is close to 57”. I took my arrangement much higher because of my ceiling.
Apryl Burtchin I was wondering the same...it’s really hard to try to make things look good with tall ceilings and is not very common to find decorative ideas that help
All of these tips are excellent advice!
Super helpful! My favorite tips were the wall decor placement, working with colors to create cohesion, and my favorite of all time the karate chop pillow. Using it for sure! ;)
great video!! my first floor color scheme is cohesive and consistent, traditional/Tuscan style. used neutral colors in bedrooms, bathrooms and office but still traditional, all upstairs. vibrant fun colors in movie/playroom. works very well 💗💗
It is so difficult for me to decorate because I don't like having stuff just because. Everything has to have a purpose...
Same here
Same!!! Like why have books and beads and a vase with puffy wheat on a shelf when the shelf doesn't even serve a purpose in the first place....
My house is empty with only necessary furniture, looking at just the space brings me joy lol
Although I do think that maybe I think this way because I'm bad at decorating and designing for a space as a whole. Like I can bang out a shelf or a desk or a wall and make it look good but for an entire room to look conducive or house to look cohesive is really overwhelming so I think I just like to keep it to a minimalist look and have everything have a purpose so it makes the most sense for my brain
@@rochelledickson2536 Same, after watching tons of decoration videos, I decided to keep the minimalist look. Now I watch that kind of videos haha
We have very tall walls in our new home, 12’. Does the 57” rule still apply?
I think so, and you may need to find larger pieces of artwork that can fill more of the space. I think back to a part of the video that mentioned finding balance in the room. The pieces of art work will need to balance the walls to the rest of the room. I hope I made sense.
Yes because as she said, that's the eye level.
Best design tips ever. Thank you. I love the tip on decorating in a group of three.
Thanks for the advice! I will be decorating our new home soon so these tips will really help! Love your videos, thanks for the inspiration xx 😊
"Karate chop your pillow" yes, that's my energy 😂
Is the Karate chop not over and done with ? Truly don’t know any more ?
Yep. A big no no these days. I guess it’s a debatable habit or a matter of taste.
That's just what I needed. Studied some design in my 3d visualization course, some of concepts repeat (so your video is also a review of what we studied), but I also learned so much more. Thank you, Kirsten, for sharing these valuable tips with us. They will really help in my design project of my own new apartment)
I truly enjoyed this video. I watch a lot of decorating videos and think this was one of the best I have seen. It was informative, to the point, and had excellent examples. Thank you!
Thank you!!! I’m decorating my studio apartment and ur tips come in handy
I totally dislike the chopped pillows!🤪 I like fluffy soft pillows instead. I like COLOR, too..both of which aren’t ‘popular’ right now..guess I am a rogue decorator, heehee!
I cringe so hard when I see karate chopped pillows
This was absolutely amazing, and so helpful! Thank you so much! 💜
Love these tips! We recently moved and I've been slowly decorating our home, the tips are very helpful! Thanks:)
SUPER helpful! Especially tips about the pillows and rule of 3. Thank you!!❤
I love being in Tennessee. I love bringing in the mountains and just the feel of being outdoors in TN. My house is all about being outdoors. I got these curtains for the living room with mountains on them and a lake that’s my color pallet. It’s sprinkled though out the house.
Omg i re-did my room closet with high-lites of Black! Did the floor, window & door frames. Llloooovvvveee it!! I never thought i wud fall in love with black paint but it makes the space so magical! So magical, i high-lited my banister & working on painting some more door frames. It really lets the other colors stand out! 💖
Great advice. Will definitely apply styling in groups of three and as soon as you mentioned wall decor at 57”, I got up & measured. Thanks
Thank you so much for your easy decorating tips. Now things make much more sense and I realize what I have been doing wrong, or not knowing what to do about everything you talked about.
Great video! Clear and descriptive. I love all the photo examples of what you were talking about.
You are an excellent teacher. I have watched hundreds of videos on decorating and none have explained things so easily.
Awesome tips!
Fave tip- 57" for hanging art
Kristen I look forward to your videos every week! You are fabulous! I would love to ya e you style my home! Your amazing! Your Tennessee friend and fan
ALL of these were SO good!!! Thank you!! 💛
This woman has totally saved my life.. THANK YOU 💕
You managed to sum up so much info in just 11 minutes. Thanks a lot for this vid, I feel so much more motivated to style my house now!!
Wow this video is so inspiring!! After I watched this, I looked at several decor pics I really liked and they were using most of the tips!!
Oh my goodness I think this was the best decorating advice I have ever heard all in one place. Thank you thank you so much!!
Totally agree in every single one of them. And yes the most common is to decorate in different fases without a cohesive idea behind.
Sara Nena DIY
You did really good with this video. Explain everything clearly. Thanks 👍
Can’t wait for the bedroom makeover. Learning so much
Excellent video with great tips! Love the 57” rule 😍
Hey there Kristen. Bless from NJ
I just bought a house. Then I started to look for home makeover videos and interior design-related resources. Then I found you!!
I really like your content and your beautiful smile! I've always been interested in interior design but I chose graphic design instead throughout my school year and career.
Your videos help me understand how to decorate a home much better. Thank you for sharing your insight and videos!
💛💛💛🙋♀🙋♀🙋♀
Such a USEFUL video! Thank you so much! Look forward to seeing more design tips, it's very interesting and inspiring! 💓
Possibly my favourite video of yours. Keep them coming 🙏🙏🙏
Favorite living room ideas that are full of design inspiration.
I tried your idea and rearranged my room. Now I have to patch picture hanging holes, rehang pictures and get a bigger rug. I’m so close to perfection. And I had so much fun! But my husband is cursing you. Hahaha. I am not following your tips to be stylish but because the room just is so much I believe the room is now much more comfortable and inviting. I am following your tips. It makes the space more comfortable and it took me one evening to do it. I think we will get a bigger rug because once I see your tips everything is so obvious. It makes really great sense and your pictures are also really awesome. I feel like I see everyone’s space now differently. Thanks a ton!
