It's kind of ridiculous how easily you perfect each space - I try to pause and think about what I would do in each room before you give your feedback, but then every time you just nail it and it seems SO obvious once you explain! LOVE this series, please do more!!!!!
wow this is so kind, thank you! for what it's worth, i do lots of thinking and prep before i film! this is rarely off the cuff. and i LOVE the little game you play - just remember, there are many, many "right" answers! and i bet you have many of them
when she said that it made me realize that I’m actually slowly converting my open concept into a series of nooks, I didn’t even realize it, but I already have three nooks planned. the children yearn for the nooks.
It's true most people like restaurant booths. But I don't! Usually the benches are too far from the table, and often they are too low. I find them uncomfortable to eat at. I'd much rather have a table and chairs.
I like that you take into account everyone’s styles based on the pieces they have. I think the hardest part of interior design is not always doing what you would like best, but what they would like best. Great video!
I feel like i went through a phase when i was really tired of interior design, but i've been having so much fun with it again! i think taking a break helped, and im so glad the *fun* comes through the screen now :)
Loved this episode! If Cole doesn't want to drill things into the brick, he could go with a sculptural floor lamp and a tall(er) potted plant/tree to add height without messing with the brick.
You can get metal brick clips to add wall art onto a brick wall without drilling holes. I know they are available in US because I was searching online and couldn’t get them in South Africa without importing them from the US.
Whatever you've been putting into your tea lately, it's working. I've noticed for some time now, on the podcast and the videos, how much more confident you seem. You have a direction and I'm pretty sure you could run through walls on your way there with how much energy you bring. I, a stranger from far far away, love to see this. Very excited to see your next projects!
wow, this is very meaningful. i am not really sure what to attribute the shift to - but i'm sure having a great therapist, a great audience, great editors who open up my time, and a boyfriend who loves me relentlessly are all making a difference
@@Caroline_Winkler Caroline this makes me tear up, I am so happy for you!! Lets take a moment to appreciate knowing all of the effort you have put into self-care is paying off! I feel like I have been in a phase of putting in effort to self-care and waiting for the pay off. This gives me hope.
For the really brown bedroom one, I also think it'd be nice to add a plant or something on top of the book case. The book case (to me) seems a little short against that tall wall.
@@scasny why did i read this so aggressively? Like, why are we throwing plants against the wall. daymn. But then i re-read it and it all made sense haha
Yeah I was thinking the same. Maybe a hanging plant or putting the small plant on top and a larger plant on the circulair object. And warm light is what I’m missing too (from the nook or from somewhere else).
Love your suggestions for the bedroom! But usually we don't really do comforters in Germany. An extra throw blanket might do. And as you can see, each person gets their own blanket/duvet whatever your local word is. It's fantastic, you can turn yourself into a burrito and your partner doesn't have to get their blanket stolen. Also very handy if the two of you have different levels of warmth. You can still share if you want to. And! You don't need an extra pillow for between your legs, the blanket can do that, too.
Another remark to the bed suggestions. All fair but WHO wants extra pillows? Okay, they might look better, but I even hate it in hotels, they need to be put elsewhere when the beds are being used for sleeping. And beds are made for sleeping! Could be a cultural thing. I’m from Europe as well.
Ich weiß, worum es geht bei Dominion. Hab den Film nie gesehen , weil ich meine Ernährung schon längst umgestellt habe und es keinen Mehrwert hat, mich damit zu quälen. "Klingt super", sagte sie. Hmnaja 😅 Ich hoffe, ihr nehmt die Idee mit dem Regalbrett über der Heizung statt ner Komplettumhausung, das scheint mir ne schlechte Idee aus Energiekostensicht. Liebe Grüße 😊
My daughter is 8 months old, teething for the first time, and has a cold. I started watching your videos a week or two ago - the only time she calms down and stops fussing is when I turn one of your videos on!!
@@Caroline_Winkler thank you ❤️ "Do not let your baby watch Caroline Winkler. You might accidentally imbue her with sharp wit and design sensibility. Her first words will be, mama where is the rug in the living room? I need somewhere cozy to crawl!"
the trouble with curtains over water radiators is the heat can be trapped between the curtain and the window and not warm the room much if the curtains are too long or too close to the radiator. Also, the warmth may not set them on fire but after enough time it can affect the color and integrity of the fabric.
Thank you sooooo much. This style of video is such a helpful way to learn design elements. Your comments are great, constructive critiques, and I love it that you choose comments from several countries. My husband and I, both in our eighties, are moving to a one level, open plan apartment with a large living-kitchen area soon. I love designing living spaces, but am feeling this to be a BIG challenge, looking for ways to designate different areas, and to create those desirable nooks we all love.
I love your particular style of design aesthetics. You're so good at bringing all the right details together for each unique situation. I love how surprised I am at which choices solve each conundrum. You are very talented.
As much as I love the look of radiator covers, they make them a lot more inefficient. Radiators rely on air circulation to work, that's why they are usually under windows. Try to keep at least the area above them somewhat open as that's where they give off most of their heat. Maybe instead of a solid board you could use a steel grate like they use for outdoor stairs and paint it a nice color. That should maintain decent air flow and you could still place one or two decorative object on top of it.
17:26 make sure the heater cover can be easily opened up around the middle where that white box is attached, it needs to be read for maintenance or diagnostics sometimes. Been living in a rental for over 10y now and had it happen twice or thrice so far I think :)
Super easy to hang stuff on brick. Drill into the cement grout, not the brick. Use a plastic anchor in the hole. If you ever want it gone, pull out (or push in) the anchor. You can fill the hole with concrete that comes in a tube (like grout.)
YES Dominion, my favorite documentary. I love the tips in here, it's difficult to see these things. I have a triangular room with three areas, can't even find any inspo for that.
The sweater is ADORABLE we love the yellow!!!!!! I once heard a boutique owner say ‘muted colors don’t wash people out. If you think a muted color is washing you out, you need a bolder blush or lip’.
Cheers! The last one is my favorite - you made the impossible, possible! From super heavy and super soulless to light, airy, modern with a nice old center piece.
It’s pretty sure the first one is from Vienna/Austria :) It looks like an often seen small “Vorzimmer“ with a “Gastherme“ on the 😄wall for heating and warm water. 😊
🙈 Please don't hate the messenger: There's a legal requirement to have 50cm clearance in all directions around the Gastherme. Most Viennese take laws as guidelines and ignore the ones that inconvenience them. But if Hannah has a shitty landlord or petty service technicians, she could get in trouble putting the IKEA units around the boiler. In case of a gas fire, the home insurance wouldn't have to cover the damages. I'd personally still do it too, I just want you guys to be able to make informed choices.
The fact that I hit ‘like’ before the video even starts shows how much I adore you ♥️ Caroline, thank you for being my comfort person to watch. PS I miss your vlogs!! Bring em back and let the haters hate
Her vlogs are one of my most favorite things that exist on this planet. People really hate?? Sad. I experience great joy while reliving my youth vicariously through her.
"Look at how stinkin' cute that is!!!" That line has become a part of my life. I do a decorating or design thing and out it comes. Repeatedly!!! ❤ Makes me so happy.
The buffet could also maybe have different drawer pulls that are more delicate and modern- matching that to the mirror edge would make it cohesive and maybe connect it overall to the dining room. Thanks for another great video! Excited to see the Zen Makeover!!
Love this series, perfect length to have with my morning coffee 😊 What the Thomas room still needs in my opinion, I kept thinking it the entire time, is a second plant placed on top of the brown shelves, a drapey one that'll kind of grow down the side - and I think either side would work, but probably better to have the plant facing the big art print. Can't even exactly explain why, but I think it'll frame the corner nicely. 🌿🌱
I like how you talk about designing with restrictions and making things multifunctional. I’m figuring out my office/dining room and I always learn something new here
I submitted a space, but I wish I would’ve added this to my submission: I wanted to tell you that I went through a break up this year and am living on my own for the first time in 4.5 years and honestly, your channel is one thing that got me through it (is getting me through it). I rewatch some of your videos (and podcast episodes) relative to what I’m going through, even still. I still have my down days, but I’m more hopeful now than I’ve been in a long time! ❤
First person could also use the closed shelving parts for the ivar series (because it looks like the shelving they have is from the series) instead of the eket and then paint that. Same vibes imo (Also loooove the series!!)
Love your interior design content! Additional suggestions: 1. Vienna hallway: definitely, paint the wall, add a runner tying the colors together, and hang the mirror. Maybe a small gallery wall opposite the door, on the other side of the suggested sconce. And, if new cabinets are not in the budget, hide them with a folding screen. Another option is a curtain (here me out, Caroline!) in the same color as the wall and hung floor to ceiling on an IKEA ceiling track that wraps around the unit. Bonus: it’ll hide the tank. 2. Nook: if there’s no dedicated office or dining space in the apartment, create an office-dining combo here. Shelves on one wall only can double as sideboard or use low storage as banquette paired with a round table. Alternatively, fill the space with a decadently comfortable hanging daybed or porch swing, floating above a sheepskin rug. Definitely, add sconce lighting and a plant. PS: cute outfit! It reminds me of what we wore to middle-school in the early 80s (yeah, I’m that old; go Gen X!). The mary-janes were those Chinese-style velvet flats and we’d have added scrunched leggings to match the sweater, lol. Your version is much better!
Love this series! So fun to think through these design problems with you Caroline. You're so wise! Love your 'fit too :) Can't wait to see the vid about the zen room makeover!
I just love all the jokes and fun bits you put into the video (wine, clothing, nooks). I must say though, I NEVER choose a booth, since I'm a fatty and I feel very closed in and like I'm not fitting in the nook/booth... but I DO love the visuals of it and the vibes it give when I'm looking at it :D
I love judging spaces too! And nooks. I love nooks!! The fireplace nook in my house became an art gallery. I wish I had more nooks. A window, bookshelves, and cozy pillows is my favorite kind of nook.
Great video! I think I would like the nook with just one bookshelf and the chair facing the window. I don't care if there is a view or not, it's just nice to look outside. A reading nook is perfect for that space though! Love it!
Your outfits are part of the art. When I was studying at art college, one of my lecturers always had the cutest and most creative outfits. Always made my day ❤
Love this series. The extra large bedroom I thought could be an office space too. Same with Cole’s nook. I work from home so having nooks like that would be ideal.
That colour does not wash you out, yellow is hella cute for a sweater. Love your vids, and your podcast " Not for Everyone" If you ever find yourself and or + Justin in Berlin, Germany, and are in need of a free place to stay to explore Berlin for a few weeks, we’d be thrilled to have you over in exchange for some advice on our new apartment! ❤👩🏼🏫🪚⚒
when the video started my first thought was "wow the sweater colour is lovely! ". Personally, I think colors that flatter us is so limiting - it's more joyful to wear what makes us happy. The whole fit is so cute too!
I have been in a TN lately and didn’t realize how much I’d miss the room in the a5!! I love the compact nature of the smaller than a5 sizes for carrying it but I get a bit stifled in the smaller sizes. Plus I am already over halfway thru my TN and I have only set up the yearly spreads, gone thru my October setup, and haven’t finished my November setup even!
I love this! The ideas being shown, resources and many examples. Brother's home looks very clean and peaceful, excellent design. Thank you, aloha, Claire
New to your Channel! Loving it so far. You have a very good simple straightforward aesthetic explanation style that probably resonates with a lot of people who do not find interior design to be in their wheelhouse. One thing I wanted to ease your mind about is that you are not going to start a fire by letting a curtain sit on a radiator certainly not recommended, especially with synthetic fibers as they might melt. But it is not a fire hazard a radiator is a forced hot water heating apparatus that does not ever get hot enough to ignite fabric. This is why people use it to dry their clothes. Something I did often as a kid to warm my clothes up in the morning when it was cold. When covering a radiator with any type of apparatus or Furniture you want to give it space for the heat to escape and not be trapped. But you can set your mind at ease that it is not a fire hazard. Keep up the good work! Love your content
Greetings from Germany. Currently trying to survive the first months with my soon 4 months old baby boy, who is very sweet but also very clingy and a bad sleeper. He only sleeps in a carrier (going to need physio for my back) or on the bed with my breast tucked into his mouth. Therefore cannot move away during his nap times because he always wakes up and then have to deal with a overtired baby. So your videos are keeping me company and sane during these many hours of making my baby nap. Please keep going. You are humankind a large service.
I miss those days. It's rough at the time, but then it's over .. and suddenly your kids are adults, and you wonder where the time went. Please treasure every moment.
Kommt mir bekannt vor. Ich empfehle wärmstens, das Kind nach 10-15 Minuten umzulagern. Dann ist der beste Moment dafür, dann schläft es am tiefsten. Die ersten paar Male wird es dabei aufwachen, und irgendwann gewöhnt es sich daran und dann hast du RUHE! Lief bei uns auch so. Und falls du kannst, hol dir Unterstützung von Familie und Freunden... Diese erste Phase war für mich furchtbar anstrengend, für dich vielleicht auch. Viel Erfolg ❤
As always, I learned a lot. I love the rug you got for your bro. Can't wait to see that full reveal. I love how you show us how to make each room feel cohesive. I loved the idea of extending the radiator with a book shelf / headboard. Brilliant!!
First of all congrats on how much your channel has grown! Finally someone has spoken on how awful using a curtain to hide stuff is😊 agree with loving a nook! Can you show more boho ideas, please😊
Loved this!!! My favorite thing is when you photoshop items in and I can see the improvement so clearly. You're the best, Caroline! I don't watch many RUclipsrs... but you yes!
I paused this video a month ago after checking out the Ikea custom furniture. It shipped, I built it, and my living room is finally looks like someone lives here! Great suggestion
If you didn't want to spend the money on the cabinets,in the first space, you could put up a roller shade. that drops down from the ceiling to the floor, in rattan or something like that. And that beat bag nook would be great place for a wall of plants. Lots of light.
Great video! Loved that there were no buy solutions, diy solutions, strategic planning and/or purchasing. And these were tricky/unique issues and spaces. Well done.
I just found your video today! I love this! How many hour long daytime talk shows have I watched just to get one 2 minute segment like your’s. This is golden!!
At the 25:00 mark, or so, even before you started describing what sort of mirror you'd hang there, I immediately thought of that gorgeous Ikea Lindbyn mirror, specifically the oval/racetrack shaped one. Which is much bigger, and has a much narrower frame and has curves. I can't believe I actually got something 'right' in this whole thing! I'm learning...! :D
I like that you can buy doors for Billy bookcases. Then, you've got covered shelving for a narrower space. I would put baskets and boxes on the shelves. The great thing is you can have shelves of different heights for items of different heights.
Caroline! You're amazing! I can't tell if I'm more impressed by your design skills or your photoshop skills, haha!! I appreciate how much research goes into each one of these, just perfection ✨️
Hahaha I LOVED your argument about the nook, because YES!! My ex for some reason had some deep hatred towards small, cosy nooks, and thats when i realised i was dating actually dating an evil crazy person, cus like, WHO DOESN'T LOVE A NOOK!!!
I feel like I always learn so much from these little videos, never what I'm expecting to learn so it's not easily referenced but it's like slow drip learning. Thanks Caroline!
I LOVE this type of video! It’s so helpful and fun. This series is like the rug to relate interior design principles to the subscribers 😋. Also I really enjoy your excitement over your outfits and sharing them 😊.
True. Unless the walls are special (like the building is historical and so is the wallpaper or something of the sort). In most cases you can paint the walls but you will have to restore them to their original colour when you move out. Check your contract for a clause regarding those walls.
Your outfit is super adorable. As are you! You throw together outfits that are as stylish, cohesive & fabulous as your room/space edits. I love this video series and it jumps through the screen just how much you love doing them. I'm retired and watch a F-ton of RUclips. So saying you're my favorite channel is really saying something. I love all your videos and it ALWAYS brightens my day when I see a new one pop up. I'm forever wishing you that next ugly RUclips plaque. 😄

Exactly! The last one was probably my favorite. So true about having larger items on a dresser, etc. Can't believe the difference it makes!
Right? Between this and the redecorating rooms for $0 series... *chef's kiss* Caroline is filling the flop hole most designtubers are leaving lately!
Wish Carolyn could do two or three of these videos per week! Love to see everyone’s design conundrums and how easily and artfully Carolyn solves them.

@@sarahihm5020 The solution No. 1 - give it a rug!

Tip for open wine leftover’s : freeze in ice cube trays for cooking. Now on to the video, yay!
wow where do you get such genuis
@@Caroline_Winkler I dug around the shabby memory dust bin and came up with Bon Appetit YT vids, before their DEI issues were exposed.
Or make some sangria ❤
Such a good idea! Drinking the wine with that purpose was very familiar to me 😂 I'll freeze it next time.
❤
Two seconds in and had to comment about the outfit. Hair and sweater are impeccable. IMPECCABLE!
wow i could kiss u. stay a couple more minutes, and i eventually start screaming about the outfit myself. glad we tag teamed this one
It's also exciting to see you make these as you can tell through the screen how much you adore these types of videos!

@@ayelaii yep, some kind of narrow shelf on top of the other shelves that could just be for pictures! If it had a lip you could do a lot with it

No fire hazard when the radiators are centrally heated with water ❤ perfect for drying things on!
the trouble with curtains over water radiators is the heat can be trapped between the curtain and the window and not warm the room much if the curtains are too long or too close to the radiator. Also, the warmth may not set them on fire but after enough time it can affect the color and integrity of the fabric.
@ginnyjorgensen9748 yes, all those things are probably true 💚

The radiator/bookshelf idea for Morgane...GENIUS!!!
I love all this advice, AND that you relayed Morgane's request to watch Dominion!! What a hero. You're the best, and that sweater is cute on you.
Yes! Appreciated that boost for sure!
So obsessed with these, it's super helpful the way you explain the changes you would make and helps me visualize in my own space! Keep em coming

Especially in Europe where heating costs quite a lot you don't want to cover a radiator, so true!
I'd add that whoever ends up sleeping on that side of the bed is going to roast anytime the heater kicks in
17:26 make sure the heater cover can be easily opened up around the middle where that white box is attached, it needs to be read for maintenance or diagnostics sometimes. Been living in a rental for over 10y now and had it happen twice or thrice so far I think :)

I submitted a space, but I wish I would’ve added this to my submission: I wanted to tell you that I went through a break up this year and am living on my own for the first time in 4.5 years and honestly, your channel is one thing that got me through it (is getting me through it). I rewatch some of your videos (and podcast episodes) relative to what I’m going through, even still. I still have my down days, but I’m more hopeful now than I’ve been in a long time! ❤
Aww sending you happier vibes through the internet. I get it. The only way out is through, and you will get there. 💜
@@jillianjiggs84 ❤️❤️❤️
Your videos make me feel calm and cosy while getting inspired. Love this combination.
so sweet. thank you
Your content is killing it lately, Caroline. Love it! Keep up the great work and pls keep showing us your outfits!!
bah thank you!
First person could also use the closed shelving parts for the ivar series (because it looks like the shelving they have is from the series) instead of the eket and then paint that. Same vibes imo
(Also loooove the series!!)
Such a good idea. And bonus: The Ivar is way easier to paint as it is untreated wood.
Ivar is so expensive though
Love your interior design content! Additional suggestions:
1. Vienna hallway: definitely, paint the wall, add a runner tying the colors together, and hang the mirror. Maybe a small gallery wall opposite the door, on the other side of the suggested sconce. And, if new cabinets are not in the budget, hide them with a folding screen. Another option is a curtain (here me out, Caroline!) in the same color as the wall and hung floor to ceiling on an IKEA ceiling track that wraps around the unit. Bonus: it’ll hide the tank.
2. Nook: if there’s no dedicated office or dining space in the apartment, create an office-dining combo here. Shelves on one wall only can double as sideboard or use low storage as banquette paired with a round table. Alternatively, fill the space with a decadently comfortable hanging daybed or porch swing, floating above a sheepskin rug. Definitely, add sconce lighting and a plant.
PS: cute outfit! It reminds me of what we wore to middle-school in the early 80s (yeah, I’m that old; go Gen X!). The mary-janes were those Chinese-style velvet flats and we’d have added scrunched leggings to match the sweater, lol. Your version is much better!
Love this series! So fun to think through these design problems with you Caroline. You're so wise! Love your 'fit too :) Can't wait to see the vid about the zen room makeover!
I just love all the jokes and fun bits you put into the video (wine, clothing, nooks). I must say though, I NEVER choose a booth, since I'm a fatty and I feel very closed in and like I'm not fitting in the nook/booth... but I DO love the visuals of it and the vibes it give when I'm looking at it :D
I love judging spaces too! And nooks. I love nooks!! The fireplace nook in my house became an art gallery. I wish I had more nooks. A window, bookshelves, and cozy pillows is my favorite kind of nook.
Ugh, that fair isle sweater you wear in the clips with Luke is so beautiful and it fits so well with you!
Great video! I think I would like the nook with just one bookshelf and the chair facing the window. I don't care if there is a view or not, it's just nice to look outside. A reading nook is perfect for that space though! Love it!
Designer tips are favourite videos. Thanks!
Your outfits are part of the art. When I was studying at art college, one of my lecturers always had the cutest and most creative outfits. Always made my day ❤
I just got inspired watching this video and rearranged my living room. Looks so much better now! Thanks Jesus!
Love this series. The extra large bedroom I thought could be an office space too. Same with Cole’s nook. I work from home so having nooks like that would be ideal.
That colour does not wash you out, yellow is hella cute for a sweater. Love your vids, and your podcast " Not for Everyone" If you ever find yourself and or + Justin in Berlin, Germany, and are in need of a free place to stay to explore Berlin for a few weeks, we’d be thrilled to have you over in exchange for some advice on our new apartment! ❤👩🏼🏫🪚⚒
when the video started my first thought was "wow the sweater colour is lovely! ". Personally, I think colors that flatter us is so limiting - it's more joyful to wear what makes us happy. The whole fit is so cute too!
Always love how you work with what people already have
You are SO good at this Caroline! You absolutely perfected each of those spaces. Woww
I vote make this a series...never stop please. This is deeply helpful!
You are so right on multiple levels! As I watch these (“in the series!”), I look around my space and apply your concepts… ❤
Can’t wait to see Luke’s room, love that couch! ❤
I have been in a TN lately and didn’t realize how much I’d miss the room in the a5!! I love the compact nature of the smaller than a5 sizes for carrying it but I get a bit stifled in the smaller sizes. Plus I am already over halfway thru my TN and I have only set up the yearly spreads, gone thru my October setup, and haven’t finished my November setup even!
In love with this new series of videos! I would love to see what the people did after the great advice!
Yes. Follow ups would be fun!
I love this! The ideas being shown, resources and many examples. Brother's home looks very clean and peaceful, excellent design. Thank you, aloha, Claire
Loved the radiator cover/headboard solution 👌🏻😘
New to your Channel! Loving it so far. You have a very good simple straightforward aesthetic explanation style that probably resonates with a lot of people who do not find interior design to be in their wheelhouse. One thing I wanted to ease your mind about is that you are not going to start a fire by letting a curtain sit on a radiator certainly not recommended, especially with synthetic fibers as they might melt. But it is not a fire hazard a radiator is a forced hot water heating apparatus that does not ever get hot enough to ignite fabric. This is why people use it to dry their clothes. Something I did often as a kid to warm my clothes up in the morning when it was cold. When covering a radiator with any type of apparatus or Furniture you want to give it space for the heat to escape and not be trapped. But you can set your mind at ease that it is not a fire hazard. Keep up the good work! Love your content
Greetings from Germany. Currently trying to survive the first months with my soon 4 months old baby boy, who is very sweet but also very clingy and a bad sleeper. He only sleeps in a carrier (going to need physio for my back) or on the bed with my breast tucked into his mouth. Therefore cannot move away during his nap times because he always wakes up and then have to deal with a overtired baby. So your videos are keeping me company and sane during these many hours of making my baby nap. Please keep going. You are humankind a large service.
I miss those days. It's rough at the time, but then it's over .. and suddenly your kids are adults, and you wonder where the time went.
Please treasure every moment.
Kommt mir bekannt vor. Ich empfehle wärmstens, das Kind nach 10-15 Minuten umzulagern. Dann ist der beste Moment dafür, dann schläft es am tiefsten. Die ersten paar Male wird es dabei aufwachen, und irgendwann gewöhnt es sich daran und dann hast du RUHE! Lief bei uns auch so. Und falls du kannst, hol dir Unterstützung von Familie und Freunden... Diese erste Phase war für mich furchtbar anstrengend, für dich vielleicht auch. Viel Erfolg ❤
As always, I learned a lot. I love the rug you got for your bro. Can't wait to see that full reveal. I love how you show us how to make each room feel cohesive. I loved the idea of extending the radiator with a book shelf / headboard. Brilliant!!
First of all congrats on how much your channel has grown! Finally someone has spoken on how awful using a curtain to hide stuff is😊 agree with loving a nook! Can you show more boho ideas, please😊
Yes please, to more of this format! Simple yet superb changes!
I love this new style of videos. Helps those of us who are decoratively challenged. Lol. Thanks much.🎉🎉❤
Loved this!!! My favorite thing is when you photoshop items in and I can see the improvement so clearly. You're the best, Caroline! I don't watch many RUclipsrs... but you yes!
This was absolutely delightful and I can’t wait for more in this series!! ❤
I paused this video a month ago after checking out the Ikea custom furniture. It shipped, I built it, and my living room is finally looks like someone lives here! Great suggestion
Amazing how I was just binging your channel and here you come, blessing us with a new upload ✨
Very sound advice. I especially liked what you suggested for the room with the 2 windows and the off radiator! I also love this format!
If you didn't want to spend the money on the cabinets,in the first space, you could put up a roller shade. that drops down from the ceiling to the floor, in rattan or something like that. And that beat bag nook would be great place for a wall of plants. Lots of light.
Great video! Loved that there were no buy solutions, diy solutions, strategic planning and/or purchasing. And these were tricky/unique issues and spaces. Well done.
Well that certainly gives new meaning to the “3 birds 1 stone” saying 😅. Loved this video. Cheers!
I agree!! I could watch you do this for days!! 🫵You are so fun and such a great teacher honey!!🧑🏼🎨🧑🏼🎨🧑🏼🎨
I'm delighted to see Luke again. 😊❤
I just found your video today! I love this! How many hour long daytime talk shows have I watched just to get one 2 minute segment like your’s. This is golden!!
At the 25:00 mark, or so, even before you started describing what sort of mirror you'd hang there, I immediately thought of that gorgeous Ikea Lindbyn mirror, specifically the oval/racetrack shaped one. Which is much bigger, and has a much narrower frame and has curves.
I can't believe I actually got something 'right' in this whole thing! I'm learning...! :D
Everything about you and your channel is just so wonderful. Thank you.
Great advise! Even greater with the visualisation!
You're sooo good at this!! Keep doing and keep enjoying!
You are really, really, really good at this. Yes, more room diagnoses, please :)
I like that you can buy doors for Billy bookcases. Then, you've got covered shelving for a narrower space. I would put baskets and boxes on the shelves. The great thing is you can have shelves of different heights for items of different heights.
you and your brother are SO funny together 😭
I love how you make such a big difference in the room by moving things around and adding something simple.
Caroline! You're amazing! I can't tell if I'm more impressed by your design skills or your photoshop skills, haha!!
I appreciate how much research goes into each one of these, just perfection ✨️
had to watch the "let my guard down" replay several times to get the laughing-until-tears-are-flowing laughter out of my system. That cracked me up
Hahaha I LOVED your argument about the nook, because YES!! My ex for some reason had some deep hatred towards small, cosy nooks, and thats when i realised i was dating actually dating an evil crazy person, cus like, WHO DOESN'T LOVE A NOOK!!!
I feel like I always learn so much from these little videos, never what I'm expecting to learn so it's not easily referenced but it's like slow drip learning. Thanks Caroline!
A Caroline video: the perfect period pain remedy until my meds kick in ❤
Girl I got my heating pad ready
This is my favorite format. You have a way of sharing that is easy to understand. I will take many ideas away and use them in my own conundrums.
Absolutely love the small hallway redo
I LOVE this type of video! It’s so helpful and fun. This series is like the rug to relate interior design principles to the subscribers 😋. Also I really enjoy your excitement over your outfits and sharing them 😊.
would you consider making a video on different types of home (craftsman, colonial, etc.) love your vids! thanks!
I'm so glad you're making this a series! I love these videos. They are so helpful and inspiring :) Thank you!
Dear Morgane, usually you can paint the walls, you just need to paint them white again before moving out. Many loves from Mainz
True. Unless the walls are special (like the building is historical and so is the wallpaper or something of the sort). In most cases you can paint the walls but you will have to restore them to their original colour when you move out. Check your contract for a clause regarding those walls.
Your outfit is super adorable. As are you! You throw together outfits that are as stylish, cohesive & fabulous as your room/space edits. I love this video series and it jumps through the screen just how much you love doing them. I'm retired and watch a F-ton of RUclips. So saying you're my favorite channel is really saying something. I love all your videos and it ALWAYS brightens my day when I see a new one pop up. I'm forever wishing you that next ugly RUclips plaque. 😄
