The things I struggle with the most when decorating my home is getting high quality items and the expensive look i want in my home for an affordable price. I also struggle with meshing my 15 million ideas I have in my head and on Pinterest with real life and making a cohesive room.
You could try grabbing a paper and pencil crayons, or get an app (we use Paper for iPad), and draw out the space! I recommend drawing 1 wall at a time, like you’re facing the wall, rather than a floor plan. It really helps with visualization. If you are unsure of placement, I recommend doing a to-scale drawing of your floor plan or wall (depends on what you are struggling placing), and then cutting out to-scale paper drawings of your things. You can move them around as much as you want on paper, swap them out for other ideas, and then try it in real life. I designed the bedrooms in my house using the first method, and designed the seating and table arrangements for my wedding using the second method. Both are so helpful for getting ideas off Pinterest or out of your own mind and make them feel more tangible. And no, you don’t have to be an artist to make this work! Simple, child-like drawings are all that’s necessary to give you an idea and visualization of your space and how to use it! I hope that helps in some way!
Awesome video! Helpful tip, take photos of spaces/shelves that you want to decorate, so that while in the store, you can narrow things down a bit. This is especially helpful for those on a budget. One thing I struggle with is making my apartment look masculine while also feeling inviting without there being hairy lights and flowers everywhere.
Hi Sharrah I struggle with getting the pillows for my sofas, as in texture, colors. I also to this date do not know how to decorate the walls on left & right hand side to my mantle. I absolutely love your tips. thank you!
This was a seriously helpful video. I have been dealing with decorating anxiety and feel insecure on what my style is and scared to buy and embarrassed to return, but this made me feel much more validated! I think my boyfriend gets tired of me constantly changing things around lol. He probably doesn’t care, though
Homegoods return policy: return with receipt within 30 days for return in original payment. Return without receipt will get u a store credit! ( I shop there a lot)
Pillows!! I feel like pillows on a couch or bed can transform the space but I get so overwhelmed with the options and just dont know how to make it look fab.
every one of your videos is so positive and I just love your energy ... so uplifting!!! 💞 you are just one of my favourite people. you inspire me as a small youtuber😘😘
This was so helpful! I struggle with wall decor/placement. I can never decide where to hang my photos or decor. Also with making a room look complete with furniture Arrangements.
We are so much alike Sharrah in a way of practice the decorating and just have fun with it coz me too I always move my decor till I feel inlove with it. You're so inspirational!
Hey Sharrah, watching your videos inspires me to tidy and decorate my flat unfortunately I don't know how and where to start and is mismatch decors and furniture still alright? Thanks for inspiring a lot of people on decorating our home 🥰💕
Most difficult thing is finding things that both my husband and I both love. I’m coastal and love colors and happy stuff. He’s farmhouse and likes functional.
I struggle filling spaces cohesively. Like decor isn’t hard but sometimes I feel like there’s a thin line between too much in an area or way too little
I struggle with pillows, the colors and textures looking well together. Also I like 3 different styles and marrying them together to make it cohesive and flow through the house is a struggle. Thanks! Love your videos! Can’t wait to see where Kinwoven goes this 2020!
Most difficult challenge - There's many! What do you put over a bed? When you move to a new place, what do you do with art pieces that you framed for the old place but now don't have a place/ don't go with the new place? In our old place we had a gallery wall of mixed family pictures - but now those are in a box in the basement bc they don't have a home. If our basement was done, I'd make a family wall. I also am seeking more minimal clean larger scale art, and having a ton of random frames doesn't fit our house now. But when you like home decor, how often do you switch out your styling pieces? You can't just put shelves up everywhere to make a styling moment - there has to be neg space to breathe. When do you switch things out - other than holiday pieces?
Accent lighting! Like on artwork, or shinning up in a corner, in cabinets, or behind TVs. I always think when it is done well it makes a home look so finished and high end but I don’t even know where or how to start!
Great video! I could definitely use more bookshelf /house accessorizing ideas. Would love to see a "Good, but better" video! Where you accessorize one way, but then show a even better way. My taste is very similar to yours and sometimes I have a hard time bringing in contrast because I like light and neutral. I would never have thought to put a little black teapot on the shelf because I would have thought it didn't look as good as tone-on-tone. When the word "perfect" popped up on your video I realized I really could use some professional decorator ideas! I think I do pretty well for an amateur but maybe not thinking outside the box as much as I could.
Since we have no extra money to spend on re-decorating, I would love to hear tips on how to use what we already have and re-invent their uses and move things around to create a fresh feel in our home
Hardest thing is being kid friendly! But hardest thing you can address is walls. I know plenty of people who overdo walls but I can tend to underdo them!
The most difficult challenge for me is mixing styles because I love so many things; rustic, glam, wood, mirrors, glass decor, bowls -- lots of them, silver, comfortable, abstract art, etc. I want my home to look well put together.
Wonderful tips! I lack confidence with color combinations... I do like cool colors...just not sure what colors to put together and how many different colors to use....
Great video! I struggle with just having too much stuff and can't decide what (or how much) to use. I have collected hand-blown glass for years, I have inherited my Grandfather's paintings, and I used to work in a custom photo lab and have tons of stuff from that. I don't want to have to store what I don't use, but I know if I do, that allows me to change it up whenever I want. I'm just getting tired of having too much and because of that I don't feel like going out and buying new stuff...
what is important for me in my home is to have objets who remember me something and give me smile when i look that , forr me this is luxury to have rare things who can speak to me ^^ and more of all i love plants , i don't have a jungle at all or maximal style , no no , ^_^ my decor is a kind of puzzle of my life haha ^^ and always learn something new grace of rebecca and you on youtube ^_^
Hi Sharrah, I love your videos! I struggle with making my home look cohesive throughout. My taste and what I gravitate to is so varied!! I have to say I would love to decorate my space like your living room. Its cozy and clean while keeping the eye moving throughout your room. By the way, where did you find the pampas grass in your background? Its beautiful. God bless you and your family.
A struggle we have is knowing how to incorporate color into the space. We go for neutrals, but we’d like to add more color to make it feel more warm, interesting and exciting. We don’t want to commit to a color unless we know we’ll love it for a longer period of time! Or maybe we could incorporate it in places where it could be easily changed (blankets for example - but then we’d feel like we need several different sets of matching decor). Your help in choosing and incorporating color would be very appreciated!
I struggle to pick any one style. I like so many different styles. I love colorful boho style but then I also love the light and bright farmhouse. I like industrial and mid century modern. How do I pick just one?!
I need to practice tip 5 a lot more. lol I tend to like things where they are placed and leave them. Just recently I started moving things from other parts of the house to switch around & almost always my immediate reaction is to return it to its original place but I’ve started to just set back and leave it for a few days and see if it grows on me. Change is hard lol 😂
I love mostly all decorating styles, especially farmhouse, and a more beachy spa feeling for the bathroom. However what I STRUGGLE with is sticking to a colour palette. I currently have no particular color palette and think maybe there are too many colours all at once.
Colour!!! I always seem to struggle with "which colour goes with which" or "which colour(s) do I like?" and so on... how great would it be if you could upload a video addressing this problem..!!! Btw I really like your channel, keep up the good work!!!
Is that beige pampass grass at the beginning of you video? Then the large feathers are those ostrich feathers..where did u purchase them...love this video thank you
My biggest struggle right now is picking out rugs that flow nicely together in an open floor plan. So many patterns, colors, and textures to choose from, ah! 🤯
I struggle with lighting...after 2 years in my home I still haven’t found the “right” chandelier for my dining room and the right bathroom vanity. I also struggle with trying to match my darker hardwood floor with my furniture. I like light colored wood pieces but feel like it contrasts too much but the darker wood pieces don’t show up as well. And finally I struggle with what look I ultimately want in my home. I love so many different styles but can’t seem to settle on just one so my home looks like a bunch of mismatched pieces.
Girl i needed this ! I struggle with paint color or should I say, should I add an accent wall. Then what things I can add and put together for a cohesive wall. Ok ... I’m a mess ... I need help 😜😱😊
I run a daycare so I am looking for ideas on what to put on my console table that is also safe for kids just in case you get one that touches :) its on an open flr plan and a tall wall no second flr above this side of the room
We're about to buy our first house and these videos have been super helpful! I've always lived in apartments for short amounts of time and never really felt like we could nest, or even make holes in the walls, so it's all very exciting and SUPER overwhelming. What're your thoughts on some of those design websites like modsy?
My husband and I moved into our first place and the rooms I struggled with most were my bedroom and bathroom. It’s been a month since we moved in and my bathroom is still not the way I want it, it is very bare. The finishing touch to our bedroom was a new comforter and a gallery wall of our wedding. Also, Pinterest was my best friend in creating a house to home for my hubby and I. 😊
I'm from Texas and you do kind of sound like you're from Texas! My biggest struggle is COLOR. My fiance decorates without really thinking about color which is clashy, and I just don't know how to put colors together in a way that is not clashy but still interesting! I would love a video on this or maybe some templates! I would also like tips on incorporating old furniture and decor that isn't necessarily your current style.
Hi Sharra love your ideas had helped me a lot in remodeling my house! I see all your videos old and new... I was wondering your dog breed he is so cute!! ... thanks and congrats!!
My "greatest challenge" is a bit unusual. I'm generally a confident decorator, but I've take on decorating my son's first house. He's a bachelor who has worked very very hard to pay off student loans and pull together a down payment, so I want to create a really beautiful masculine space for him. The pickle is that he lives in a remote community waaay up north, and I have to work on Pinterest to create mood boards, collaborate with the one local store, pay outrageous delivery fees, and manage the project without actually having seen it with my own eyes. The actual placement of things will happen with my son walking around the house with his laptop, and us designing together. We have learned to do everything through skype and facetime. I don't think you can necessarily help, just have a good laugh with me over the different challenges even the most confident decorator can face! :D
I really struggle with where to put family photos. We have an open concept home and very little wall space. Also I prefer clean surfaces. As a result, I only have a few photos in my bedroom on my dressers.
My challenge is living in a small space and not really liking "decor pieces" so I'm always looking for items that I'm going to use, but are also cute! Identifying my style is another hard thing! Especially when not having a large income so we can't do much in the way of changing the bigger items (furniture etc) so we're stuck with the style of those items!
I'm currently finding difficulty selecting lamps for my rooms. I don't have a confident sense of the height, width, style (including shade) so it elevates the look and function of the space. I've spent a lot of time looking at design pictures, lighting websites and spending what seems like hours in lighting departments in stores. I know it depends on style and design but what should I look for to buy a "good" lamp?
I struggle with rugs, because I'm in an apartment with all ugly brown carpet. Of course the kitchen, bathroom, and huge pantry is no problem, because no carpet. Also, Love what you said about never being finished decorating. That's me. I'm always moving things around. It makes my home feel fresh and new, by just moving even something simple to another spot. ❤️ ...say y'all all you want. I'm from Alabama and it's ok with me! Lol
Most difficult thing for me is large furniture pieces like I will have everything else ready to go rugs colors decor then I'm like what kind of bookshelf couch wondering if I should change color of furniture too match theme or if the piece is just wrong all together lol
With styles always changing sometimes I feel like things aren't cohesive but I love new items I see at Home Goods or Marshall's. It's an ever present struggle.
Most difficult is picking drapery etc. Also, I have followed your mom for a long time. I remembered when you went off to college. But, I did not know you have your own platform yet I have subscribed for a while. I just did not put the both facts together. Great job . Continue the legacy.
I once heard a designer only collect the things you really love and your home must reflect you. These are the things that I live by while decorating the home.
So I see a lot of comments about struggling to be cohesive but I have the exact opposite problem. I tend to go way too hardcore with my theme. How do you stay cohesive without looking matchy-matchy?
I struggle with two styles I love, mid century modern and French (something similar to how restoration hardware use to be before they went modern) how do I incorporate those two styles that seem so very different but I love so very much?
Ohhhhh I’m all over the place and struggling with my design style. I love modern, Scandinavian, classy traditional, I’m all over the place. I like light and airy but that also depends on the house as you know, but I also love those deep rich velvety colors, I love Spanish styles and mid century I’m all over the place and my husband is just as interested in design 🙌🏻😆
I'm good with choosing furniture, rugs, for me its decor! wall decor and little things to place on the kitchen counter, or the shelves or choosing a "theme" for the bathroom hahaha
Help ! My struggle is in a home that was built in the 70's and trying to do decor and upgrade to todays style of living and decor ! AND wanted to know how do you store decor that you buy but dont want out till later...so you can change out whenever your want ????
Something I'm struggling with right now is how to mesh my interior design taste with my boyfriend's so that we're both happy in a space. Also how to mix finishes of furniture pieces like in a bedroom - wood headboard, wood dressers in a similar tone but then what to do for nightstands so it looks cohesive but doesn't weigh down the room more.
I got some curtain lights like yours. I love them! I draped them over the crutain rod, but I can't really open the curtains all the way. How are your attached?
My struggle with my home is the same as my struggle with fashion, I don’t like neutrals. I want everything bright, bold and colorful. The more color or print -the more I like it. So now I need it all to work together. My home is a Technicolor mid century modern splash. But I like it.
Great video as always:) I have a really long (2m) shallow shelf above the tv, like a mantle. I strugle with that all the time... except for christmas, xmas decor hide it all 😅
Very good! I'm loving your videos! Already recommended your videos to my closest friends! :) I'm Portuguese and currently living in Milan in a small rental apartment. We are looking for other as this one has been already sold. It's hard to find something nice that we can afford. The rents in Milan are completely insane and they ask a lot for houses full of old forniture and a ugly floor. I'm watching your videos to get inspired for the mission I'll have ahead! Hug! 😘
My top 2 challenges: 1. rugs! they are so expensive and I'm scared to make a decision and regret it. 2. Gallery wall! I have sooooo many pinterest ideas and I'm not sure how to commit to some prints without spending a fortune.
The things I struggle with the most when decorating my home is getting high quality items and the expensive look i want in my home for an affordable price. I also struggle with meshing my 15 million ideas I have in my head and on Pinterest with real life and making a cohesive room.

One thing I struggle with is making my apartment look masculine while also feeling inviting without there being hairy lights and flowers everywhere.
Most difficult challenge: filling open spaces without overcrowding the room or leaving it too bare
Making everything I have cohesive, without throwing out things with memories!
This ❤️
So much this!
My biggest struggle when decorating is my husband! I love him but he has terrible taste. If I let him, he would sticker everything in our house.
Savanna C. Same!
@Savanna C. lmbo!!!!!
Same!
Hi Sharrah I struggle with getting the pillows for my sofas, as in texture, colors. I also to this date do not know how to decorate the walls on left & right hand side to my mantle. I absolutely love your tips. thank you!
Color! I always wonder how to incorporate great color into spaces.
This was a seriously helpful video. I have been dealing with decorating anxiety and feel insecure on what my style is and scared to buy and embarrassed to return, but this made me feel much more validated!

We are so much alike Sharrah in a way of practice the decorating and just have fun with it coz me too I always move my decor till I feel inlove with it. You're so inspirational!
Hey Sharrah, watching your videos inspires me to tidy and decorate my flat unfortunately I don't know how and where to start and is mismatch decors and furniture still alright? Thanks for inspiring a lot of people on decorating our home 🥰💕
Lifepaholic start with what u see first. Slowly replace pieces bit by bit - in the colours and textures that make u feel cozy
Most difficult thing is finding things that both my husband and I both love. I’m coastal and love colors and happy stuff. He’s farmhouse and likes functional.
I struggle filling spaces cohesively. Like decor isn’t hard but sometimes I feel like there’s a thin line between too much in an area or way too little
I just knew you and Rebecca was somehow connected!! It’s crazy how the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree both of you are great designers!
I highly recommend the design sessions. I have learned a lot and I am just getting started.
Great video! I struggle with incorporating family photos onto the walls of our long wide entryway and living room, in hope it’ll be cohesive.
Color pallets that work together!
I struggle with pillows, the colors and textures looking well together. Also I like 3 different styles and marrying them together to make it cohesive and flow through the house is a struggle. Thanks! Love your videos! Can’t wait to see where Kinwoven goes this 2020!
Rugs for any room. Colors, size rules under furniture etc. Thanks for all of your content!!!!
Hardest thing is knowing when is enough and when to stop.
Thank you for this, I struggle decorating my living room space
Your Dolly impression was GREAT!

I don’t know how to stay on a theme of make things cohesive 😝

Blending styles . I love farm house, industrial, touches of glam and traditional
Brilliant advice, but I truly struggle with furniture sizing in a room & choosing the correct curtains.
Greetings from South Africa
Hardest thing is being kid friendly! But hardest thing you can address is walls. I know plenty of people who overdo walls but I can tend to underdo them!
I understand exactly how you felt. Without our wonderful decorator, our new home would have been a total fail.

Hi! I struggle with furniture placement in open floor plans and making minimalism look warm and inviting.
My goodness. The bain of my existence is picking wall color! I can never seem to get it right
Colour!!! I always seem to struggle with "which colour goes with which" or "which colour(s) do I like?" and so on... how great would it be if you could upload a video addressing this problem..!!! Btw I really like your channel, keep up the good work!!!
Husband and I have totally opposite design preferences. It causes a lot of tension in our lives, because he is very particular-and so am I!
This very is SOOO helpful, thanks! Also, loving you and your Mom's IG stories 🥰
Is that beige pampass grass at the beginning of you video?
Then the large feathers are those ostrich feathers..where did u purchase them...love this video thank you
My biggest struggle right now is picking out rugs that flow nicely together in an open floor plan. So many patterns, colors, and textures to choose from, ah! 🤯
I struggle with lighting...after 2 years in my home I still haven’t found the “right” chandelier for my dining room and the right bathroom vanity. I also struggle with trying to match my darker hardwood floor with my furniture. I like light colored wood pieces but feel like it contrasts too much but the darker wood pieces don’t show up as well.

Girl i needed this ! I struggle with paint color or should I say, should I add an accent wall. Then what things I can add and put together for a cohesive wall. Ok ... I’m a mess ... I need help 😜😱😊

Hi Sharra love your ideas had helped me a lot in remodeling my house! I see all your videos old and new... I was wondering your dog breed he is so cute!! ... thanks and congrats!!
My "greatest challenge" is a bit unusual. I'm generally a confident decorator, but I've take on decorating my son's first house. He's a bachelor who has worked very very hard to pay off student loans and pull together a down payment, so I want to create a really beautiful masculine space for him. The pickle is that he lives in a remote community waaay up north, and I have to work on Pinterest to create mood boards, collaborate with the one local store, pay outrageous delivery fees, and manage the project without actually having seen it with my own eyes. The actual placement of things will happen with my son walking around the house with his laptop, and us designing together. We have learned to do everything through skype and facetime.

I really struggle with where to put family photos. We have an open concept home and very little wall space. Also I prefer clean surfaces. As a result, I only have a few photos in my bedroom on my dressers.
Same here! I really like clean surfaces. I've bought picture frames, and in a week I remove them. Ha!
My challenge is living in a small space and not really liking "decor pieces" so I'm always looking for items that I'm going to use, but are also cute!
Identifying my style is another hard thing! Especially when not having a large income so we can't do much in the way of changing the bigger items (furniture etc) so we're stuck with the style of those items!

I struggle with rugs, because I'm in an apartment with all ugly brown carpet. Of course the kitchen, bathroom, and huge pantry is no problem, because no carpet. Also, Love what you said about never being finished decorating. That's me. I'm always moving things around. It makes my home feel fresh and new, by just moving even something simple to another spot. ❤️ ...say y'all all you want. I'm from Alabama and it's ok with me! Lol
I just have a hard time with decorating my log cabin and I struggle mostly with :
The layout, Lighting, space, decor, making it look updated.
Most difficult thing for me is large furniture pieces like I will have everything else ready to go rugs colors decor then I'm like what kind of bookshelf couch wondering if I should change color of furniture too match theme or if the piece is just wrong all together lol
With styles always changing sometimes I feel like things aren't cohesive but I love new items I see at Home Goods or Marshall's. It's an ever present struggle.
Most difficult is picking drapery etc.
Also, I have followed your mom for a long time. I remembered when you went off to college. But, I did not know you have your own platform yet I have subscribed for a while. I just did not put the both facts together. Great job . Continue the legacy.
Artwork! How much? What size? Where?
I once heard a designer only collect the things you really love and your home must reflect you. These are the things that I live by while decorating the home.
Kid friendly accessorizing. I have 6 kids in a 150 sq meter appartment. Everything has to be durable and useful. I am really yearning for more beauty.
So I see a lot of comments about struggling to be cohesive but I have the exact opposite problem. I tend to go way too hardcore with my theme. How do you stay cohesive without looking matchy-matchy?
I love this channel so much. Big fan. 💖
Do you paint your walls ? Like an accent wall? Or do you not do it because you rent ? I need help !
I struggle with two styles I love, mid century modern and French (something similar to how restoration hardware use to be before they went modern) how do I incorporate those two styles that seem so very different but I love so very much?
Ohhhhh I’m all over the place and struggling with my design style. I love modern, Scandinavian, classy traditional, I’m all over the place. I like light and airy but that also depends on the house as you know, but I also love those deep rich velvety colors, I love Spanish styles and mid century I’m all over the place and my husband is just as interested in design 🙌🏻😆
I'm good with choosing furniture, rugs, for me its decor! wall decor and little things to place on the kitchen counter, or the shelves or choosing a "theme" for the bathroom hahaha
Decorating in my budget!
Help ! My struggle is in a home that was built in the 70's and trying to do decor and upgrade to todays style of living and decor ! AND wanted to know how do you store decor that you buy but dont want out till later...so you can change out whenever your want ????
Something I'm struggling with right now is how to mesh my interior design taste with my boyfriend's so that we're both happy in a space. Also how to mix finishes of furniture pieces like in a bedroom - wood headboard, wood dressers in a similar tone but then what to do for nightstands so it looks cohesive but doesn't weigh down the room more.
I got some curtain lights like yours. I love them! I draped them over the crutain rod, but I can't really open the curtains all the way. How are your attached?
My struggle with my home is the same as my struggle with fashion, I don’t like neutrals. I want everything bright, bold and colorful. The more color or print -the more I like it. So now I need it all to work together.
My home is a Technicolor mid century modern splash. But I like it.
Great video as always:) I have a really long (2m) shallow shelf above the tv, like a mantle. I strugle with that all the time... except for christmas, xmas decor hide it all 😅
Very good! I'm loving your videos! Already recommended your videos to my closest friends! :) I'm Portuguese and currently living in Milan in a small rental apartment. We are looking for other as this one has been already sold. It's hard to find something nice that we can afford. The rents in Milan are completely insane and they ask a lot for houses full of old forniture and a ugly floor. I'm watching your videos to get inspired for the mission I'll have ahead! Hug! 😘
My top 2 challenges: 1. rugs! they are so expensive and I'm scared to make a decision and regret it. 2. Gallery wall! I have sooooo many pinterest ideas and I'm not sure how to commit to some prints without spending a fortune.
