Hey Everyone! I'm excited to announce that enrolment for my upcoming course will begin end of this month. You can join the waitlist here to receive an early bird discount - rlowell.com/waitlist My goal from this course is to allow you to confidently decorate your home in a way that speaks to your personal style and how you live - all within the constraints of your budget. I’m also planning to include a community feature, so you can ask questions and help each other out during your home decorating journey. Those who are already in the waitlist: I'll be sharing more information on what you can expect in the course (and perhaps some sneak peek - a free class or two) in the upcoming week.
Fantastic video Reynard! My designer is always talking about adding “texture” to my rooms. She’s been doing it for years and I have loved her results. But this video really explains why and lays out the principles beautifully. Thanks for sharing!
I am a huge proponent of going with low gloss or even matt when it comes to painting trims windows and doors it changes your whole room in subtle ways with the right wall colours
This could be useful when buying decorative stuff! I always see those objects that are not that appealing and that I would never buy because its too simple, too generic or doesn't seem to fit in my house, but then I see it in picture in a well decorated environment and it look stunning
Hi Reynard. I've just discovered your channel and your videos are a great inspiration, thank you! We are slowly doing up a house that had some 'interesting' previous design and DIY elements (fake beams, artex ceilings, woodchip wallpaper, varnished tongue and groove pine on walls....peak UK 1970s!) I really like how your explanations of the principles of good design can be applied to different styles and your explanations are very clear. Thank you! 😊😊
How would you incorporate texture in the bathroom without making it look off or boring? With visual textures? The other ones don’t seem hygienic to me.
Textiles! All the various towels, bath mats, etc. Accessories go a long way too - things like soap dispensers, trays, etc. If there is natural light, an easy to care plant is always welcome.
I have a rattan shelf unit that's got doors on the bottom (for storing toilet paper, a first aid kit or hygiene products that you don't want out), a shelf for rolled towels, a shelf for flat baskets that I keep cosmetic things in (like makeup pads, ointment jars, etc. Stuff I don't use several times a day) and a top shelf that's about waist high where I keep my zippered bags with cosmetics stuff that I use daily. I rent and the last three places I've lived in had zero storage in one (not even a hook for a robe or towel), a wall-mounted lighted mirrored cabinet about 4 inches deep (no place for anything bulky or towels) and currently a very shallow cabinet under the sink where I keep cleaning supplies. The lightweight rattan shelf unit is small enough to fit in the bathroom easily and provides a surprising amount of tidy storage. It has a warm, natural look and of course a lot of texture. It's easy to clean with the vacuum or taking it outside on a hot day and spraying it with the hose and leaving it in the hot sun to dry thoroughly. You can have hygienic visual texture by putting things like cotton balls or bath salts with large crystals or even a collection of shells or smooth stones into clear glass or acrylic jars. Frosted glass can add privacy and give a sense of visual texture to an otherwise glossy, shiny window, especially if you are thoughtful about the shapes that are frosted. Spider plants really like a moist atmosphere without harsh sunlight. They can add texture and bring nature in.

You simply pick the best themes for your videos! I like that you bring in the basics. "What is texture" is very well explained, I think. Thanks again!
Hello! I've only recently discovered your channel and had zero knowledge about interior design prior. Your videos have been super helpful, thank you!
Thank you for the videos! Your video is really good for the beginners like me as I don't know where to start when it comes to house decorations.

Thanks so much for the tips!
if you could come up with designs for bedrooms for those in ADHD/Neurodivergent people will be great.
Yes please!
Use texture tiles eg rigato style. Also, textured wall finishes eg microcement. This will smooth out and soften the look
