    I wish the comparison photos showed the same space with different decor, rather than 2 different rooms. Hard to compare apples to oranges

    • @SpaceMakerMethod
      @SpaceMakerMethod  4 года назад +231

      I understand that! Unfortunately finding photos to illustrate those points online don’t come with the same rooms shown. Perhaps as this channel grows I’ll be able to make and use my own 💛

      I disagree, I could clearly understand the concept behind each comparison. The pictures were most of all very well chosen and captioned.

      Especially the one comparing a craft room with a bedroom. My craft room is the one place I can fill with everything that is ME. The joy of seeing all the things I love that are filled with memories Spurs my creativity and would make anyone else crazy.

      My personal decor is layered floral/ color/ fancy! My space is b.u.s.y.! Yet.... My friends love to sit and enjoy. They would not decorate this way, yet have great fun in my space! It's just MY style! HOWEVER, i also appreciate good simple clean decor. Which ive enjoyed very much on your channel ❤

    1. Keep items larger than your fist
    2. Less is more: furniture
    3. Keep it clutter free
    4. Closed storage all the way
    5. Less is more: wall space
    6. Place furniture off walls
    7. Place larger ruges under furniture
    9. Let that light shine through
    10. Mirrors are your friend
    11. Choose light wall colors
    12. Pick one favorite: patterns, prints, textures, layers
    13. Embrce empty space
    14. Buy less

    @doctordonnanoble 3 года назад +35

    this is the first interior design video for small spaces I agree with! So many interior designers offer tips that only work ~aesthetically~, but clearly show that the designers live in much bigger spaces. Watching all these small kitchen makeovers where they rip out perfectly fine cabinets (where you can hide your mess) for floating shelves that hold decor makes me want to cry, that's not a practical living space and it's going to look so messy once it's lived in. I'm going to have to check out more of your videos!

    I had a grouping of framed grandkids photos (I have 10 grandkids) in different frames on one of my walls. I was trying to go for an eclectic look but it ended up just really looking cluttered. I took them all down and chose one 8x10 photo of all my grandkids and low and behold my eyes are now more relaxed when looking at my wall. Your tips were very helpful, thank-you.

    Ok this blew my mind! I'm moving into my own space and this helped A LOT!! Here are the notes I made:
    1. Don't buy things smaller than your fist
    2. Avoid filling your space with too much furniture. Buy bulky items, this will create the illusion of your home being bigger
    3. Declutter. Is that item something you love? If not, get rid of it
    4. Put the rest in storage that is closed and not put out on display.
    5. Create more empty space on your walls. The more stuff you have, the smaller your space looks.
    6. Place furniture off of walls (not necessary)
    7. Use larger rugs with solid print or large print
    8. Let liight shine through. Don’t use black out curtains (my tip personally is linen curtains! They look beautiful)
    9. The bigger the mirror, the better. place mirrors that reflect natural light. Both give the illusion of a bigger space.
    10. The lighter, brighter neutrals, the better.
    11. Choose one pattern or one texture. Less is more.
    12. Embrace empty space
    13. Ask yourself, ‘Do I really need this?’ before buying something

    • @SpaceMakerMethod
      @SpaceMakerMethod  3 года назад +2

      Okay your notes are awesome and very well articulated! I hope these different elements help you in your small space. It’s what I always do an it helps me so much.

    • @JamieM470
      @JamieM470 3 года назад

      I think these were all really good & helpful advice. Lots of clutterbugs and dark room dwellers under this video are nitpicking it lol.

  • @Catbooks
    @Catbooks 4 года назад +48

    Love your tips! I'm partial to minimum but chunkier furniture too. A tip for you: you can have blackout curtains that will still work, if you want to. Just get them in white and use a curtain rod that's big enough so you can push the curtains to each side and reveal the entire window. It makes a lot of difference to how big a room looks! And the light is much better too.

  • @claraschuster855
    @claraschuster855 4 года назад +100

    What I found is, that if you have a really small space, sometimes it's also helpful not to work against it, but with it. Especially with the wall colours. If a room is really small, and you paint the walls dark, you can create a very cozy space which feels secure and warm. Also, darker walls can create really beautiful light accents when light falls on them, beautiful light-dark contrasts.

    • @SpaceMakerMethod
      @SpaceMakerMethod  4 года назад +10

      Absolutely! Every space is so different and it's usually better to go with the flow than against it! Dark rooms can be SUPER COZY!

    • @Poppies__
      @Poppies__ 2 года назад +6

      I disagree, yes dark walls can make your room feel cozy and warm, but if you compare the SAME EXACT room with a bright white wall vs dark wall, the white wall will definitely look bigger, it for sure will add more light and open up your space if you have a small room

    100% agree. Recycle, donate! I actually began purging years ago and i am still working on it. Clothes are done, a whole lot of possessions were donated. I'm going through our basement now and one bathroom closet. You just don't know how great it feels. Your spirit and your home will feel lighter, I promise!

    *EDIT* 1) I want to give you a brief history of this video for you before you comment 🥰When I posted this video a couple months ago, I had just hit 1k subscribers and made this video for my small audience. When I first put the video out, it didn’t have any images and as soon as I posted it someone sent me a kind, critique of the video that it would be better if I could include images to explain the ideas. So I immediately took the video down and started searching for images to explain my point. This was all done rapidly so I could repost the video that same night. That said, yes some of the photos are not perfect AND the rooms are very different when compared. I hope I can improve this and have more resources to pull from as this channel grows, but right now I don’t. I’m just using what I’ve got available and in the time frame I have available. While the images may not perfectly display the point, the principles are still the same and WILL help make your small space look bigger.
    2) This video is from awhile back and it was brought to my attention when this originally posted that the music was too loud. I’m sorry, I’m human and mistakes happens. It was changed going forward with new videos.

    There were instances where I disagreed with these tips, but I realized it was just because of personal decor taste and not because she’s wrong, since this video isn’t about decor style per se, it’s about creating the illusion of space.
    I do wish more of the examples were in equal sized small spaces. I understand that they are just meant to be examples of what she’s describing but when the images aren’t of actual small spaces it’s hard to make a good comparison on how it effects the feel of space in a small room compared to the example of what not to do.

    Interesting tips - I hadn't heard of most of these, thank you! Always love new ideas for my small condo! I'd love to add one that I've found helpful: having some plate glass furniture rather than opaque wood. My small dining table, TV unit, coffee table, and end table all have a substantial amount of thick plate glass. Glass allows my eye to see through the furniture, creating the illusion of more space. :)

    Interesting and helpful content thank you. Background noise (muzak) creates acoustic clutter. It may be what ‘everyone does’ but it detracts from the essential - useful content.

    First time viewer. Can I suggest: lose the music-aghhh😳The title/thumbnail made me think you were going to make changes to your tiny apt that only a bed fit. It worked in that I was bored & curious BUT the tips are actually SO MUCH MORE USEFUL & even decorating/design oriented whih was unexpected given the thumbnail. I found them helpful & I’m a huge design enthusiast so I know most of this kind of thing. Great job & love the editing w/lots of examples; very helpful 👍🏼❤️

    • @SpaceMakerMethod
      @SpaceMakerMethod  4 года назад +14

      Thanks for the constructive criticism! This is actually an old video that the RUclips algorithm is just now picking up... I did get the music advice in the beginning and have since made that adjustment in the other videos. And thank you for the thumbnail and title advice. I will take that into consideration next time, but will keep it as it is for now because the golden rule for YT always is... if something is working and getting views, whatever you do... don’t change it 🤣 something is working now so we’ll just let it be and make changes going forward!

    I like cute stuff and patterns so not buying random things I don't need is the hardest part lol. You're spot on with the closed storage though. Having everything out just emphasizes how much there is and you have to make sure every shelf looks nice or its just a mess
