#InteriorDesignTips #InteriorDecorating #CustomHome
I realized I live in a home not a hotel, so my cozy colored sheets are staying.❤️❤️❤️
Love it ❤️ Do what works for you!
HoteIs use white sheets because they are easier to beach and keep clean. Thats why
@@JulieKhuu I love these tips, but with some of the realities of being a woman, I prefer darker sheets. Any tips to incorporate darker sheets into designs? My apartment is mostly charcoal and cream, with accents of soft pink. I’m also a grad student, so do you have any cheap easy suggestions for transforming a first apartment?
❤️Love that! Perhaps a hotel cleaning staff coming in every day😉
@@elizabethbushnell8684 i hope one year later my comment will still be useful. Our bedroom walls are darkish grey and there are lots of cream and white accents and some dark wood. I sew a set of bed linen in dark chocolate flax linen and it's just gorgeous. I think it will go perfectly with your palette too. No more stress after a surprise period or spilled tea, just wash it thoroughly and the stains won't show as on the light fabrics. I hate the smell of bleach, so this is my solution.
Your comments are spot on - another insightful post from you! One small suggestion: please use more "typical" home examples. The spaces you've worked on are incredible but very out of touch with the average viewer. It would be much more helpful to see a high-end example and another more simple based on what the average home looks like.
Thank you so much for the feedback Raina! This helps tremendously 💗
I was going to suggest the exact same thing. Those homes are GORGEOUS,, but most of us viewers don't have that grand of a home, so an upgrade on a "normal"..(I hope I'm using the right word) or like she said the "typical" home would be wonderful.
I thought the same. I feel like the real struggle is to use some of thous advises, like grouping sitting areas, when u have a rather small space.
Rajna Kecojevic you’re right...most of us don’t live in huge spaces. 8’ ceilings, 1500-2000 square foot homes are more realistic.
I respectfully disagree because youtube is already chock-full of cheap DIYs. I actually hate when people cheaper the lesson. Truly lux homes take money or REALLY good scavenging/fakes (aka DIYs). I would personally unsub.
Thank you we followed your ideas. We added modern art in most rooms, upgraded all lighting fixtures and hardware. We are currently adding wainscoting and crown molding throughout the house. We already own a luxury house and now it looks as though it’s a million dollar house!! We received so many compliments from the people it matters such as the plumbers, landscapers and even the pizza guy.
Great design can’t go unnoticed Jim! 👏🏻🙌🏻
comments from "the people"? sorry, couldn't myself :)
Oh my gosh thank you so much for mentioning white sheets I went to all white sheet years ago best decision ever there is nothing like crawling into bed on klis crisp clean fresh white cold sheets. Heaven on Earth
Yes agreed!!
Julie, I design interior spaces for family members and friends. And I am watching your channel to brush up my skills because I actually took a job designing spaces for clients! I love the tips you gave to make a space look more expensive. To me, orchids can definitely make a space look more premium and expensive as well. I love and have definitely made some takeaways from your video!
Awesome Alex! Love orchids, they always look high end even in the faux varieties 👍🏻 Thank you for watching!
I looked around my living room and decided the number one thing is to clean it.
And purge 😅 The two most fundamental aspects before design
😂😂😂😂
LOL! Ditto. Clean and declutter.
😂😂😂
🤣🤣🤣 less is more
I just discovered Julie Khuu and she is fab! I've been intensively redecorating my flat since the pandemic started, and I'm almost done. After watching this video, it reinforced the 3 things I am doing withing the next week:
1- Hanging wallpaper on 1 wall in my entrance hall/office, exactly what people see behind me on video calls. Really high ceiling, so I hope I don't fall and break my neck tomorrow.
2- I have a mid-century modern style armchair, second one arriving next week for the balance Julie mentioned
3- I'm ordering all white bed linen
Thank you for all the tips!
Sounds dreamy Bruno! That entry is going to be killer! The higher the ceilings, the greater the impact! 🙌🏻
@Kamal DC Not cool advertising someone else on this channel. I wasn’t thrilled with the video and I struggled with the accent. 🫤
Five stars Julie! So 90% of what you spoke about I've already done in my home out of my own intuition. Then near the end you said get rid of the vinyl blinds. I keep them because I'm concerned about the sun fading my artwork, furniture and rugs. But I recently had my windows replaced with glass that seems to have UV protection. So I pulled the blinds up, pulled the shears and Wallah, it looks great! What I really liked about your video is that you don't waste my time with fluff, you get to the points and give great information. I'm definitely a subscriber now, thanks so much!
Thank you so much for the thoughtful feedback Chris! Yes, windows nowadays come glazed with UVA/UVB filters, but you can also get it tinted right on. Then your last source of defense can come from a solar shade 🙌🏻
Wallpaper, ceiling detail, lamps, gallery pictures, seating zones, molding, huge statement art, white sheets, nickel hardware or black matte, symmetry, window covering layers, & customized.
In a nutshell!
White towels too! Classic, clean, timeless.
Yup! Got those 🙌🏻
No way. Hospital linen. Too institutional.
Exactly! I have all white towels. Easier to clean too!
And bleachable!!! Very spa like.
@@SilentReader2 Oh, what? I always get towels in dark colors. Bleach is SO toxic...if ppl only knew how hazardous it is! Love my coffee-colored sheets ,too. White's too sterile. I hate hotels. Rather be camping when possible...the more glass, the better a place looks...just a huge view of the river or sea, please.. Too much symmetry creeps me out, too. Need big house plants.
Wow! you did what I do now with hotel design. I must say, watching your videos are refreshing. Sometimes you just want to make sure you are doing things right. It is nice to see that I am doing things the way a top interior designer like yourself would. I am sure you know how it is when clients give you that push back because these see things one way. However, they end up loving the final version.
I love it when they push back! Clients know themselves best and it will only make the end product that much better! Thanks for watching CJ 🙏🏻
Thank you. Since we live in a rental home. Top 3 for me is we need to update living room curtains, deciding on artwork/family photos, updating bedroom sheets
Also think about updating the space with items you can take with you once you move. Check out my rental friendly video for inspiration if you need!
Getting rid of roommates help a lot..
😆🙌🏻
Getting rid of sister helps a lot😂
😂😂😂
@@JulieKhuu 🤣
It's a privilege for sure and I'll pay for it coz I can't stand roommates.
Panel molding changes everything! It's also relatively easy to add to your own home afterwards. Great video as always Julie!
I think so too! A little dimension to add to plain walls 👍🏻
1.7 dislikes are the competition 😂. I think this lady is awesome she knows exactly what she is talking about. Her tips have helped my home feel more cozy and less crowded. I never knew I can fix my living room making into a whole new room.
I love that! Thank you for watching and I’m so glad I can help Sixto 🙏🏻☺️
My three things would be ripping out my carpet and installing hard surfaces, putting in taller baseboards, and fresh paint!
Yes those baseboards will pack such a punch! That sounds like a major renovation Christina! 🙌🏻
Julie Khuu I cannot wait🙌🏼Long overdue improvements☺️✨
I love wood floors! Can I offer a suggestion? I moved into a house with blondish wood, and the former owner also put a dark wood in other rooms. The dark wood shows EVERY speck! Just be careful! 🌻
Kathryn oh I know I’m for sure going light. I have dark on a rental we installed while we were living there and I swore I’d never do it again for that very reason. Shows it all!
@@Tinyteacher1111 You are so correct!! I love the look of the dark floors I had installed BUT I am a slave to them. Every piece of lint or dust looks so obvious. I need to dust mop them daily and wash them every few days. I never had this problem with the light oak original hardwood flooring in the older part of the house. So much for trying to update to a more contemporary look. Never again! I actually regret doing it now and it wasn't cheap! I live in a busy neighborhood in a big city so it's hard to keep the dust and dirt out-even from just cars going by, I feel they stir up dirt too and it gets inside.
DANG I HAVE NEVER WATCHED A BETTER VIDEO EVER. THESE TIPS ARE ACTUALLY GOOD.
Thank you so much for watching 🙏🏻
Hi
I'm now decorating my new house and I love it ! I love the tips. I had my couch custom made and used my antique dining table and console table that i inherited from my Mom . Its old , and classy makes my home expensive. Now i'll do the wallpaper tip . Moulding really is a good one it elevates the look of the house.
Moulding doesn’t have to go everywhere either to make an impact Zenaida! Focus on one room to make the statement 🙌🏻
I just discovered you Julie! So glad I did, you are a ray of sunshine, especially during this time!
Thank you so much for the support! 💗
A very interesting video with a lot of good ideas. That wallpapered bathroom was especially yummy. However, here is another thought concerning white sheets. My theory is that sheets, like clothing, should be flattering to the person whose head is on the pillow. If white makes you look wan and ill, it is better to choose a color that suits your skin tone. I personally love my russet sheets!
Yes, do what you love! Don’t listen to what I have to say, it’s a matter of personal preference 😊
do some people look ill when they stand near a white wall? 😯
Focusing on taste and unique statements makes a home exude warmth and elegance. Another way to describe the word expensive, is dynamic, tasteful, unique, warmth and elegant. Great ideas.
Exactly 🙌🏻 Thank you for watching 🙏🏻☺️
WoW , the best video that describes the word “expensive-home”
White sheets always!! Also, I think a home design is never complete without large house plants/trees
Yes! I live in a wild jungalow so I’m with ya on plants 🌿
Julie Khuu I’m in the market for faux indoor trees. Any online suggestions for nice and affordable.
Kara not everyone like large plants and trees in a home
Kara White sheets are boring. I love very soft colored sheets that relax me.
@@JulieKhuu tg
Oh my gosh, my home was built last July and I bought a spec model. In the townhome I rented, there were blinds which I hated. I had rented all my adult life so decided against blinds. When you talked about blinds I felt that in my spirit. Since I still need to have the basement finished, I am slowly making changes. I have white panels in my bedroom and it is amazing what effect it has on natural light. I also decided to go with white sheets because i do what my bedroom to have that hotel feel while being cozy. I have a sofa table with seating for three which I love along with a big comfy chair, and 2 smaller chairs facing the comfy chair .Plans for the future is back splash for the kitchen, coffee table and decorating my office.
You’re well on your way to your dream space Felicia! Every thought counts 👍🏻
I hang my mortgage payment right on the wall so everyone can see it.
Hahah then there’s no denying it 😂
Priceless !!!! All you need now is a very sleek box with the word DONATIONS on it PERFECT!!!!😉👍 Heinrich
😂😂😂😂😂 my mortgage is $650 so that doesn’t work for me
I almost spit my food out when I read this 😂 right there with ya
😂😂😂
I’m so glad wallpaper is back. Nothing makes a room look elegant more than a beautiful grass cloth. Instant elegance. We are buying a small condo on the beach for a get away. Traveling is going to be a nightmare. I’d love if you’d do a coastal hotel style for a small condo.
I’m sad wallpaper went out of style and got such a bad rap back then! There are SO many beautiful options on the market now, the possibilities are endless 😍 I Design so many coastal glam spaces for my beach clients, would love to share a video with my tips! Thanks for the feedback Monique!
@@JulieKhuu Please do. I live in a beach town and want to wallpaper my half bath. But it's so narrow I'm afraid wallpaper will make it feel more clostraphobic than it already does. The ceiling is ten feet high which makes it even worse. What can I do to get an elegant, beachy feel? Because I hate even being in that half-bath, I trek all the way upstairs to use the bathroom. Please help.
Painting my living area would probably be the most economical improvement I could make and change the ceiling from white to a hint of colour. I also would like to buy two accent chairs and toss my lay-Z-boy chairs. Thanks for the tips!
I know those Lay-Z boys are super comfy, but there are more stylish options out there 👍🏻
WOW! I am blessed to have found your channel. I started upgraded my home and look forward to seeing more posts on your channel.
#2 add wallpaper .
I love when you said “the power of wallpaper”,i surely do this in my house hopefully🙏
Thank u Ms.Julie for all the tips.I am your #1 fan now❤️🌹
God bless u.🙏
Thank you for watching Sarah! Wallpaper makes such a visual impact that you don’t get with paint 🙌🏻
Hi Julie, 3 things i can do to upgrade my home :
- more artwork (i love odd pieces, but my wife is simple/classic)
- create a bar area for all of our entertaining
- upgrade my kitchen (new floors, back splash, paint, and cabinets. throw the whole kitchen away lol)
Start with the kitchen first! It will have the most major impact and you can start enjoying it now Britt!
Hi julie, I just adore your style! You are so optimistic and humble in the best possible way. You inspire me every time!😊
Aw thank you so much for watching and the support Sonia 🙏🏻💕
Hi
Hey
Hello Julie!! My hubby and I just purchased our first home. The three things I plan to work on is: wallpaper, kitchen knobs, and wainscoting.
All 3 will add the visual interest you need to make a plain space feel WOW 🙌🏻
Nice tips on the white sheets. I think this is my home work for the week to observe step by step what you have indicated to attempt to put it action. Since we are still under stay at home mandate in Toronto.
Great time to focus on our home. You do a great job making everything simple.
Keep up the great work by pursuing topics that are versatile and current.
Thank you so much! Let me know if you have any ideas for future videos you’d like to see Mwadi!
Ive been doing things like this all pandemic. I got rid of all the tones in my room and have been decorating with all white with pops of terra cotta, which I’ve been diying with. I repainted my mirror white and then added a terracotta border. I had a black stool and painted it terra cotta and using it as a plant stand next to my mirror. On the opposite side, i found this cute chic African basket with lots of colors, but also having my terra cotta in it to relate. I then added a palm to the inside of the basket, using the basket to add texture. Had an old white ikea vase, taped it up and repainted it. The lip of the vase chipped but with the touches i added to the vase, it looks expensive as if i bought it like that. Anyways, thats just a few. I’ve also been going plant crazy and adding plants everywhere. Fresh lively plants always make a space look more lux.
Greenery has a way of brightening up our homes! Love how your space is developing, sounds fabulous 😍
Change out sheets, spray paint white knobs in kitchen, add window treatments
Thanks for the ideas!!!
The knobs can be done in one afternoon Kelly 🙌🏻
Julie Khuu ok I painted the knobs and changed out sheets already! Now strategizing for the window coverings... I def have vinyl hanging 😂 the bed looks SO much better!!!!!
I have been wanting to update my home but had no clue where to begin and on a teacher friendly budget but I am glad I came across your page. These are all great ideas however can you give us more examples on a more "average" home to make it look more like a custom home. Looking forward to more ideas on making my home look custom and luxurious. 💕
Yes, I’m working on small space/ rentals/ and average home inspo Elizabeth. Thanks for watching!
I would suggest a video of improvements that renters can make. Almost all of your suggestions would break the lease agreement for a renter. Not to be contrary, it just feels really restrictive trying to design a space you are renting.
Got it! A lot of comments about renter-friendly upgrades so I’ll be working on a future video now! Thank you for the feedback Denee!
Denee McKim she probably not talking about rented accommodation for private tenants. Just paint everything of white or antique white.. and add your colour with bits .
Yes! I'd appreciate this too. I'm looking around at my rental house wondering what I can do without getting in trouble...!!
@@JulieKhuu I really want that video! I'm a renter!
You can diy “wallpaper” with wall stencils
Recently my husband and I went to a hotel just to get away and relax and we always sleep so well. I decided to hit Amazon I bought beautiful white sheets, new pillows and a thick mattress pad along with a fluffy soft duvet! I went so far as to order adorable lights with the USB ports so no more ugly cords running from a power strip. We love it! I’m doing hard wood floors, wallpaper and new window treatments next. All said and done it’ll still be cheaper than a 3 night luxury hotel stay and we now sleep so well at home!
Sounds dreamy!! Love those lamps with the built-in USB ports, so efficient and less clutter 🙌🏻
So happy you mentioned that wallpaper is ok. Love that look at times. I bought wallpaper not too long ago and I haven't put it up yet. Some friends of mine said things like, "wallpaper in the bathroom?" Now, because of you, I feel as though I have the go-ahead. :)
Yes! Wallpaper in the bathroom is my fav place to make an impact 🙌🏻
I really enjoy the wall paper in ny bathroom
@@lauranavar7180 😊 groovy
Hey
Thank you for taking the time to enrich my life with your professional design ideas.
Thank you for watching Jacqueline 😊
I bought my very first home in October and watch your videos for inspiration. The 3 things I can do to upgrade: 1. Remove heinous vinyl blinds and replace with curtains; 2) Create a cute seating area in the "formal dining room" space; 3) A nice statement wall piece over my fireplace.
Thank you for watching and congratulations on the new home Judy! A window treatment upgrade will help elevate the entire space! I have a video detailing your options now in my playlist if you haven’t seen it ☺️
My biggest problem is I do not have a decorator's eye. It is overwhelming, and then frustrating trying to have things look really nice when I don't know how. Now, I just now I have to make myself happy in the space I have with what I have to work with. It will never look like what you do. I wish I could just hire you and give you a great budget to work with, you really are so talented.
Thank you so much for watching! I just dropped a new video on how to create your dream space using my design process. Hope you’ll check it out for some inspiration 🙏🏻
10 ways to make your house look more expensive.
Me: Buy expensive items 🤣
Lol that’s one way, I have 10 others for you 🙌🏻
Hey
My three things while in my master bedroom: Install a large art piece, a chandelier (and recessed lighting possibly - we have cathedral ceilings in here) and possibly spray paint my door handles, which would match my matte black IKEA curtain rods. I’d love your input!
All statement making ideas! 🙌🏻 You can also blow up personal photography in lieu of artwork. I did that for my one bare wall in the bedroom and I love how it carries such beautiful memories as well
Julie Khuu such a good idea. Adding a real personal touch in the bedroom. Thanks for alll these great ideas!
Just found your channel and I'm so glad I did! ☺️ I love how you've formatted the videos in digestible chunks. We just finished sheetrocking our living room and we are ready to put primer on the walls. I've been wanting to do something on the ceiling, like bamboo wood, but I thought it might be too much because we have regular 8' ceilings, and on top of that, I love herringbone patterns! 😍 I'm not sure if it'll be too busy, but I love seamless solid floors with no grout or grooves for easy cleaning, so maybe that would offset the busy ceiling? 🤷🏽♀️ Or, maybe I can reverse it, and put a wood ceiling with no pattern, but the have a herringbone pattern on the floor? I'm having a bit of a challenge making everything cohesive, but after watching your video, I'm sure I want to dress up our ceiling now, since it creates a sense of luxury! So, my three things are ceiling, something on the walls, and definitely getting rid of all plastic on my windows. 😅 Thank you so very much for the advice!💜
Ceilings are the fifth wall so treat it with care and attention Sandra. I love the idea of wood paneled herringbone- but your instincts are correct. The more of a statement you make up top, the more simplified the rest of the space should be to really let the ceiling shine. You got this 🙌🏻
I love designing homes, very interesting and helped me to upscale into a better .version
We may not all have these huge spaces to work with, but design is all about the aspirations! 🤩
This was great! thank you! OK, my three 1) do an accent wallpaper wall in the living room 2) crown molding 3) swap out my peaceful pale aqua sheets for plain white. We rent so I can totally do the sheets! as for the wallpaper and molding that will wait just a little while for when we move - which we are moving toward now. I am so happy I found you, you have wonderful tips!
Yes, one little move can change the energy in an instant 🙌🏻
@@JulieKhuu I am really enjoying your videos and watch one into the next. so grateful for you! :)
I find myself often taking inspiration for home decor from hotels, as I work in digital marketing for hotel clients for a major travel technology firm. Very impressed by the list of hotels you’ve worked with. I hope to be buying my first home this/next year so I will definitely be binge watching your channel!
I’m trained in hospitality so I have an affinity for that chic, tailored hotel vibe 😍 Thank you for watching Grace! 🙏🏻
I love those lamps!! I think I could put Some textured wallpaper behind my 65 inch TV mounted and the credenza!
Yes! That will add visual interest to your space 👍🏻
Awesome! And thank you for getting to the point and not adding a lot of nonsense.
Trying to keep these videos short and sweet 🙌🏻
Hey
I just found your channel and am binge-watching! Your suggestions are for every budget - $5 sheers...who doesn’t love that?
Thank you Donna! Totally doable no matter what your budget 🙌🏻
I like the tip on painting the knobs in my kitchen.
I like white or silver colour. I love wall paper too, but only as a focal wall. Lighting too yes, gives a cosy and lux look n feel.
Wallpaper makes everything look so luxurious 😍
I like the thought of hanging the drapes three inches from the ceiling- I’ve been wanting to do that since I bought this condo. Spray painting hardware matte black sounds hot too....
Both easy fixes you can do now 🙌🏻
I love all your videos! Sometime you will mention "buy well cry once." Where would you suggest to spend/splurge vs save on furniture/ home decor?
I have a video coming up on this topic Adrienne! Splurge on anything custom/handmade, save on anything you don’t touch every day
This is the first time I have felt more empowered to raise my design game with ease. This the first time I have listened to your commentary
Awesome!! Interior design is all about personalizing your space to suit YOUR needs! You can do it! 🙌🏻
Thank you for these videos. I am learning so much. I am moving into my dream retirement home soon and you have inspired me to get rid of alot of old crap we have been hanging onto for 20+ years. I want my new home to be elegant yet comfortable and welcoming. One problem I am going to have to deal with is the ACRES of kitchen cabinets that have no pulls/handles and are not easy to open. I think adding handles and pulls for all these drawers and cabinets will look too busy.
They make slim modern handles that are installed on the backside of the drawers and cabinets with just a sliver revealed as the pull. Or if the cabinets are all wood, you can get wood knobs and have them painted to match so they totally disappear Elaine 👍🏻
Julie, with this video, you are inspiring me to redecorate my whole house!
Awesome 👏🏻 Start with the room you use the most and let the momentum help you finish the whole house
Switchplates! We have a brand new custom home, and I’m in the process of upgrading all the switchplates from crappy white plastic to things like wrought iron, slate, & distressed wood. What a difference it makes!
This small, bold move will make all the difference in the world! You see and touch it every day 🙌🏻
Hey
Your input is helping make the most of “Staying Home”. Thank you!
It really is the perfect time to plan your dream space. Stay safe! 💗
Awesome tips! Hmmm I should change my colored sheets to white sheets, consider my ceiling as part of my color scheme(it’s white), and I could add texture to my walls. .. I am glad I found your RUclips channel! 😊
You got it 🙌🏻 Thank you so much for watching!
Bought white sheets and comforter... white towels cost the same as colored. I love the results... feels more calm and enjoyable being in my own home... great suggestions
Love that! Aesthetics definitely affects our mood Laura 🙌🏻☺️
I think I need to move out of my current house to get the look i want 😂 I love the tips you gave and hope to achieve some sort of high end look here until I am able to move to a bigger place!
You can at least take notes for now and dream up how it will all come together Sunnie! 😍
Thanks Julie! I’m an Interior Design student here in 🌞 Florida! I love watching your videos!!
Awesome! I miss trade school! It's really the hardest you're ever going to work imo, lol.
Hi
you are right, I still have the "plastic vertical blinds from the 80's, bare painted walls, and cornice balances." thanks
One room at a time Chit, you got this 🙌🏻
Hey
hi Julie, I love everything ! can you make a video for tiny apartments and houses? people aren't buying big houses anymore. trend is going small. would be nice to go chick in tiny too. tx.
I have a small space video in the playlist now ☺️
OM Goodness do I REALLY enjoy your vlogs. Your style is very classic and elegant. You are top notch. You include something for all of us subscribers. Not all of us currently live in nor can afford an "expensive" million dollar or more home but still want a luxurious and well designed space. Thank you for mentioning the Ikea brand Teresia sheer curtains. I am ordering some today. Will you please tell us which inexpensive pair of drapes to add in front of them? Much appreciated. Thank you.🌹
Thank you so much Barbara! You really can’t go wrong with Ikea drapery. Stick to solid colors and the ones with lining or blackout.
@@JulieKhuu Thank you.
I agree on wallpaper, would love splurge on wallpaper for my tiny half bath and possibly changing all of the hardware and even doorknobs around the house 🤔
I love wall to wall wallpaper in powder rooms and small areas, makes such a HUGE impact! 🙌🏻
The blue sofa and the golden lamps . Mind blowing Julie 👏🏻
I would like to see a video about what modern flooring is available for kitchens and baths.
I have a flooring video coming up Vinnie! Stay tuned
Wallpaper over and around the bed, white pillow covers to complement pastel sheets, two (matching or not) chairs for relaxing -- possibly with a small table to create a reading nook.
That reading nook sounds fab Roderic 😍
@@JulieKhuu Yes, I am preparing to become a court reporter and need a place to relax and read for pleasure.
I love the frames behind you. can you make a quick tutorial on how to arrange photo frames on a wall so it doesn't look too crowded or too mismatched?
I have a gallery wall video- check it out for tips!
Great tips. Kindda laughed about the “one night stand..” I know u meant “nightstand” though.. LOL 😂
😂 thanks for watching and your attention to detail! Lol
She meant it. She was talking about symmetry and said 2 nightstands is better than 1 nightstand. Now get your mind out of the gutter,🤣🤣🤣🤣
I've noticed it also...i just ignore it. I know you mean a different thing. LOL
@@delbienoel HAHA
Thank You, for the great starter tips.
Lighting, wallpaper and comfortable furniture in the living room!
Lighting will change the entire vibe of your space Rupinder! 🙌🏻
Thank for your good advice. Live houseplants do wonders for my home. When I remove them for special fertilizing or watering, the room looks oddly bare. I especially like big plants or a display of several small plants and textures featured on a tray. Also, live plants help to clean the interior air. The only problem is that many plants need to be by a window, and they reject where I want to place them because of lack of light. So, I figure them out. Nothing looks prettier than a beautiful, live plant.
Agreed! Just made a brand new video about styling the home with indoor plants Linda! Check it out if you haven’t already 🙌🏻🌿
I know this is an old post, but my suggestion is to use single 'grow' bulbs - helps the plant and highlights it at the same time. I put them in those hinged lamps so I can move it closer or further way from the plant.
I always hang my curtains as high as possible. I have only 8' ceilings and it really makes ceilings look higher and has a high end look to it.
Awesome! Makes such a huge difference to open up the space as well Tammy!
@@JulieKhuu julie is such a soft name. Pretty. What does it mean to YOU
After watching this, I realized I have an innate eye for interior design😊. I have applied most of Julie’s tips in my house, especially in the kitchen, 3 years ago
Awesome Ley! 🙌🏻 Thank you for watching
First time here & must say (this totally non-related comment) your hair is so cute!
Thank you so much! 😊
Her style period is fly!!!!
Loved these ideas. Thank you for the IKEA curtain idea.
Inexpensive and functional 🙌🏻
Kimberly Woods I got so much resistance for buying them and suggesting we hang them in our house. IKEA changes the designs a lot but I used the sheers she mentioned. You would never have known the entire master cost $30 to furnish. You’re going for the look not the price. U can mimic anything . And yes I did get an apology 😉
LIVINGROOM 1. I can wallpaper the area over my fireplace because it slants back, and maybe include the adjacent sofa wall 2. I can use layer lighting (currently recess lighting being installed. 3. I can put one chair on each side of the entrance wall to add symmetry. Great video, thank you (you tube)
Great move with the recessed lighting. That way you can layer additional table lamps and wall sconces to add ambiance to your space. 😍 Thank you for watching Charmaine!
Great tips! I would change out my curtains, lighting and mirrors in the bathrooms. I love Mandarin Oriental in Boston. I had the pleasure of staying there for a few nights 🤩
Thanks so much for watching Shernett! Window treatments can really transform the entire space!
I had to laugh as my husband and I are closing on a new build home next week; with blinds and boring white walls. I am inspired to do several new things to the walls now. Thanks for the inspiration.
Blank slate!! Excited for you! 😄
Hey
White sheets and towels, 2 bedside tables, black matte handles. 💕
Love symmetry for pure elegance 👍🏻
I love this chick!! Man...she's right on the money!! So chic too.
Aw Shanon! ☺️ Thank you so much for watching, you’re the best!
Hi
You have a GORGEOUS Home!! 😍👌🏻
Thank you so much 😊
*Grear tips! I agree about plastic blinds and white sheets and almost eveything you mentioned!👍🏻👍🏻*
Not for everyone, but hope you got some good tips Gigi! ☺️
Hey
I loved this video, thank you so much for sharing this amazing peice of art..
Thank you for watching ☺️
I found your channel last week and I love your content, babe. Keep it!
You’re the best Donna, thank you!!
I love your comment about wallpaper. I splurged on a beautiful white mother of pearl backsplash but went simple on my countertops with white boat paint to save money LOL. I spray painted all hinges and knobs chrome finish because they were very pricey for the amount i needed. My husband bought 2 lights from goodwill for $5 rewired them, spray painted chrome finish, and i added crystals for a beautiful chandelier in my kitchen and bathroom. I added brick wallpaper to one wall in my bathroom and painted the other wall white. It is beautiful! I bought 2 tall cheap walmart mirrors made them into a medicine cabinet that open like French doors. Ytube is my go to place for great ideas!
You are THE professional DIYer Tamara! Could’ve easily used your tips to make this video 🙌🏻😉
I’m preparing my home to sell and your favorite neutral colors helped me pick new paint colors. Now I’m tempted to spray paint all the hardware black!
Awesome Dee 🙌🏻 black hardware will look striking against white cabs
Jennifer Lane thanks for the tip!
Love your tips! Tell us how to accessorize the living room n dining table. Art places that won’t brake the bank.
Yes, more shoppable links and resources coming up! Thanks so much for the feedback 🙌🏻
Such an inspirational video. Gosh, I think I will start with my curtains. I have oak faux blinds. Changing hardware next. I am a senior on a budget. I own my own home. I love all your idea's. Can you make a video how to change up rooms, with ones on a strict budget?
Yes, lots of requests for budget makeovers. Thanks for the feedback Maryanne!
Hey
I also, devoted one whole wall to my hat collection. The entire wall acts like an art installation with maybe 35 wide brim hats. And i love changing the colors out to go with the space.
Dope!! Love this type of installation where you can show off your collection while adding texture to the space 🙌🏻
I would like to see a video on how to give your bedroom a luxury look.
Thanks for the suggestion Valarie! I’ll add it to the queue 🙏🏻
We just built a new house in 2019. I would love to add wall paper and Wainscoting to the study. We need to work on the bedding for sure. New duvets and more white sheets! Pillows!
Awesome congratulations Victoria!! Let the detailing begin 🙌🏻😍
I need new blinds, new lighting and I want to add moulding! ☺️
Basically I need to throw the entire house away and start over 😩
Lol that’s drastic! Think of different ways you can upscale and repurpose what you already have
Queen Isla 🤣 I needed to laugh because these 4 walls are driving me nuts 🥜🥜🥜
