This is the sign my follicular phase needed. Feeling so inspired that I just stood in the corner of my bedroom for fifteen straight minutes and silently stared at everything. My husband is concerned because he knows something's coming. Looking forward to the kitchen version of this and giving my mans an anxiety disorder.
I love how you're talking about an accent color while wearing this bright orange sweater in a neutral space. All of that to say we NEED a lookbook from you. There's so much fun and intention in your wardrobe as well.
@@Caroline_Winkler I always love your outfits! would love to know how you shop for clothes - also i worked in childcare and the painting that you got in a fight over would actually be really good for the baby bc it is high contrast shapes which are easy for young babies to see (this is due to the way their eyes develop)
@@Caroline_Winkler omg yes! I also always look up your instagram when I'm shopping for clothes and I wish you tagged what stores you shop from more often! youre a huge style inspo for me too! I would also love to see how you routinely blow dry your hair and hair care stuff if you feel like sharing! I bought the rose shampoo you mentioned on ig stories one time and it's lovely!
hack for the expensive pillows: go to a store, get nice fabric you like, pick out a nice pillow shape and choose some design accents and either learn sewing or go to a friend who does and ask nicely. I made 3 new pillow cases this week for about 15€ and my apartment is ready for the front cover of architectural digest
That's exactly what I do. I would never buy overpriced things that are expensive for no reason. Are they filled with strands of gold fluff found in Mars, and sewn by blind Belgian nuns?
I was just thinking the same thing - in what world are we reupholstering headboards and not making pillowcases - the literal SIMPLEST sewing project on earth with two rectangles! Not to mention, you could repurpose anything for that fabric, it's so easy to make it unique and special
@@strawberryfrog76 I used a tapestry place mat to cover a pillow in my living room and just love it. I think it may have been fifty cents at a thrift store. I bought a dollar store black kitchen towel for the back. 😊
Thank you for taking us to school today Caroline! Can our next class be about living rooms please? 🙏🏽 Honestly I’ll show up with my notebook to whatever you do next. ✍🏽 📝
Yes yes yes please i am trying to pull a living room design together, we just bought our new sofa (won't turn up for, like, three months but whatever it's fine) and now i need to know what rug to get, should i paint the walls, what about all the other furniture i have will it work, what do i do with the one random corner that is empty on my design plan aaahhhh
So glad to hear this. I like that the video making process forces me to articulate things I might not have had the words ready for previously. Helps me grow too❤
Loving this style of video! Caroline your super power is translating design theory to the layman and opening our eyes to the design lens. I would welcome more of these! Bathroom Inspo, Entryway /small space inspo, kitchen, what about a whole video dedicated to wallpaper, or millwork/trim/moulding! I love seeing design through your eyes. Thank you!
Entryways would be great to get folx out of the rut of the same mini bench + four hooks-type of storage-based design. I’m sure there are many fun ways to make those spaces functional and full of art!
Never mind the "little hat", can we talk about how GORGEOUS your sweater is and how good it looks on you...that color is beautiful and sits well with you gf!
Hey Caroline - sitting in the flat I’ve just moved into by myself as a single twenty something guy surrounded by full packing boxes and work to do. I’ve been anticipating this move for a long time and have been trying to make sure my home will feel comfortable, creative, calming and like mine after having lived in places that have sapped my energy for years. Tonight I was really run down after a difficult few days of work and moving, and wondering where to find the motivation to keep unpacking boxes. Started watching this video and instantly wanted to get back on my feet and keep at it. Few other people in my life really care about this sort of thing but I’m finding an enjoyment in decor and design recently after never really feeling drawn to it before, and just sampling the energy and passion you have for this really reminded me what I’m working towards. Thankyou for that and for the inspo!!
I love how you break down every picture and help us understand why things work so well in a space. I think this is very helpful, especially when you have a big Pinterest board and need to narrow things down to make decisions.
caroline, you are the only (& i mean, ONLY) youtuber that I will sit thru an ad read for bec you make it actually palatable. it's clear you are consciously choosing which brands you work with (slay) & this probably contributes to the vibe. so thanks for casually queening ethics out here (oh, and bein adorable & lovely as hell all the while) xo
I remember listening to an art critic once saying about the artist using space in his paintings to rest the eye….. you have nailed it with rooms & I never looked at it that way before 🤔 your voices are great 😊 & your explanation as to why the rooms work are great as well 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 thanks sweetie ❤️ hugs from the UK 🇬🇧🔥xxx
Yes to this series! Maybe kitchens next? Choosing cabinet paint color is hard. It is so much work to paint cabinets properly. And everything seems to hinge on that in the kitchen.
Mother of a babe here! The nursery shaming online is REAL lol. Artwork shouldn't be hung on a wall adjacent to a crib, BUT. If you look, it's on a recessed wall about 1 foot away from crib. I think that is totally fine. The parents are also obv into safety given they have a legit-grade monitor hanging above the crib. You were justified in fighting online w/ this stranger ahhaha. Thanks for sharing nursery inspo! For mine, I made my own artwork of a landscape. Super cheap and a creative way to channel my nesting instincts - knowing my son will have artwork I made him forever is so much better than buying a generic nursery print online. Can't wait to see what you do for your little one(s) when the time comes!
Totally, I think it’s absolutely horrific how parents (esp mothers) are shamed or abused on the internet. Makes me very afraid to be an internet person with kids one day. I imagine it would be very hard to handle unkind and unfounded attacks on something so personal and dear😔
@@Caroline_Winkler When you become a mom, everyone offers you unsolicited advice/criticism, but it's nothing we women haven't experienced since childhood! I think you will set good boundaries in the proper time and am sure you'd be super protective of your kids' privacy and your own maternal sanity some day. Just based on how you protect your dating privacy, you've got a good head on your shoulders. You don't owe anyone that side of you if you don't wish to share it! Prayers/love to you!
I follow a bunch of design youtubers who emphatically don't have my kind of style, but I appreciate their eye and how they put things together. Do I like it for myself? No. Do I want it? No. But I can see the skill in the way they put it all together, and it inspires me to try to do (less skilfully, but more me) in my own space)
My love. I wish I could give you the hug you need. I’m sorry I have only flimsy words for your immense pain. Know at least that I mean them, and I see you and my heart is with you
@@Caroline_Winkler Well, you've certainly done just that in the spirit of "Keep your friends close and your [hat] enemies closer!" - like smack on the top of your head 🎩 (😂)!
I have to say that when I see a sofa in front of a bed it makes we wonder if people bump their knees on it from time to time. Great selection of bedroom designs. My mind is getting inspired. Now I need to invite my body to get moving. Enjoyed your comments and suggestions. Thanks Caroline.
I remember when I was 31 emigrating from England to Australia with three kids under 8. Sometimes I used to dream of being on my own when I had moments of feeling overwhelmed with the girls and feeling isolated in a new country. Fast forward 20 years and now i am an empty nester minus an ex hubby and now I am finally living alone. Life is a constant cycle of evolution and learning to be happy in yourself along the way. The low times really ground you and make you a stronger person. As a new subbie, you really are a breath of fresh air and you remind me of myself right now but 51 not 31. Learning to live alone. You’ve made me really enjoy my own personal space. Thank you 😊
Yes!!! Absolutely !!! More of these. Learned so much. I would love the Rumpus Room please - where we lounge, read books, watch TV. How to make decorate it so that the minute the coffee table is filled with books, glasses, boardgames, the room doesnt feel messy/overwhelming.
Agree. The only thing I’d say is carefully think about having 2 tone walls. After living with orangey TnG half way up the yellowy cream walls, I’ve painted the whole room white. This felt like adding 4” to the height. Then I put the curtains just under the crown moulding and that added another foot of height. I now stand taller in here but beforehand the ceiling was closing in on me. Love the voices. When my kids were little and I got sick of my own voice, I started singing the instructions. ❤
I loved seeing your analysis of the layering and texture in these rooms. Especially interesting how removing one high-impact item/color can completely change the room. Thank you for the dog with his stuffy too.
I got a vinyl, padded headboard that was stained at the thrift shop. Through Walmart I ordered a vinyl spray paint meant for car interiors. The headboard looks new now and it was an easy, inexpensive fix. I chose Ford Mustang tan. 😊
Yes! Kooky as heck and some not so much inspo pictures, please! It's so helpful that you articulate what's appealing that can translate to another space.
The former tenant that lived in my apartment died, sitting in a chair, fell asleep and never woke up. When I first entered this place I felt someone giving me a hug. More spiritual than physical. I have always felt safe here. The very comfortable chair I'm sitting in belonged to a neighbor that was committed to the state mental hospital. I used to own a rocking chair that belonged to the first person who died if Aids in my city. Just saying.
We had the impressionist Mary Cassat's painting of a little girl at the beach in our girl's room. Thanks for the memory Caroline. Yes, expose your kids to nature and well-done wholesome art and music from babyhood.
When she said 'this is an image I hate', I automatically knew why because I remembered it from past videos LOLOL. This was a great video! You are so freaking hilarious and so good with design, ty for being a design senpai ❤
@@cvtniss I don’t know if you know but the comment you got was from a scammer impersonating Caroline Winkler. The real Caroline Winkler has since reported and deleted the scammer channel’s comments.
I'd love for you to make a video about designing for contemporary/moden open floor plan apartment spaces. I live in a 2bdrm condo with all white walls and minimalist cabinetry, shades, etc.-and I'm torn about conforming to the design aesthetic of the architecture versus going against it to do something more "me". But not sure how to do this successfully. And white boxy bedroom with roller shades is a bit of a struggle!
I LOVED this video Caroline. I think it’s helping me to view inspo differently. I feel like lately I look at a picture and feel like I need to get an exact style/pattern/item that I like, rather than looking at WHY I like it and then applying that in my own way. I would love to see a bathroom inspo video next!!
I PURCHASED a NEW couch to put in front of my bed-- just so my 2 tall dogs would have a place to sleep, but still be close to us. A double bed does not fit 2 adults and 2 big, beautiful dogs. Every day, I wake to see them look over the top of the couch at us, with their sweet brown eyes that say good morning. Dogs are so pure. Those little moments of morning joy are worth my design faux pas! Loved this episode, I got a lot out of it! Thanks.
Watching this from Ukraine before going to bed. You video made my day, Caroline! As always, you are so charming and funny! Love your ideas of layers and unexpected popping of color! I would really like this to be a series and it would be great to see some kookie ideas for the kitchen--it's my favorite space in the whole wide world!!! Please take care! Big bear hug!!!
There are lots of good design videos on styles and trends and basic design rules. Your videos make me see the room as a piece of art- no one else does that for me. I still remember you saying that interior design is a mindfulness practice and I feel that as you talk about these rooms.
Love this for a series! If you did a series like this I'd watch literally any of them but a room that I have a hard time finding inspo on is "foyers" (I call them entryways). Thanks for being you!
What I've learned from you about accent colors is taking me to the next level. I had palettes and layouts down, but everything started to feel samey, too much flow if that makes sense. The little pops that stand out are what I needed.
Thank you for: 1) being you; 2) your great design sense; 3) your great videos; and 4) the sweet video of the dog looking at his stuffy...it made my day! : D
This video has helped me so much today! Over the last few weeks I have come to the realization that I won't be moving from my very small rental condo for the foreseeable future. So I had decided earlier in the week that I will invest in some decor to enhance the 'white box' that I call home. I love that you explain what to look for, how to breakdown what components you love, etc. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
This was awesome. I know what I like but don’t really think about why I like it. I’m going through a major decluttering at the moment and find that a part of this is wanting to change the design of what is on my walls. Would really like to have you do more of these. Living room especially interests me.
Hi Caroline! I'm a big fan and I actually got my mom into your videos too! She's been really into redesigning her house, clearly inspired by your videos! It's so cool to see her having fun with designing her home instead of stressing about it. Every time I visit her house her style has evolved and there are new and interesting things to see. :) We often talk about "What would Caroline do with [enter interior design problem here]?" Are you planning on doing anymore of those critique/advice interior design videos for viewers' rooms?
By the time I drag myself to bed, the last thing I need is a room that is 'cute as hell'. I want rest, harmony, peace and tranquility. I look for gorgeous sheets, silky duvets, low lighting, somewhere to sit and take off my clothes, shoes, a soft rug to dig my feet in. And velvet pillows. Hahaha. I counted maybe 7 or 8 velvet pillows in these inspo photos. However, point taken, world. Stop going to sleep in unbeautiful spaces. This is your dream time. Make your fantasies come true. Thanks little sweetie for your always interesting viewpoints.
Gosh you are a gift sent from heaven for me right now. We are moving into our own house and we will be free to do whatever. I know I want to go crazy. I am very creative but I have no clue about design. I was scared to go bold what knew I wanted to go bold. I already knew I would like to make the ceiling colorful of our bedroom since it is tiny and only our bed will fit. So it will be a room full of bed and ceiling. From your videos I gather so much knowledge. Thank you! ❤
I like your new lamp and side table. It looks like a more clean/modern look. It gives your more vintage space a fresh feel. I like the pairing with the old and the new!
Whoohooo! Caroline posted! 🎉❤ Hey, i was thinking.. what about when you're really broke and wanna change something but can't afford anything new, is there a way to still change your space? Like, how? Thank you for what you do❤
This is exactly what I needed. About to renovate my home and was stuck on what to do with my bedroom. THANK YOU for this video because now I know exactly what I'm going to do! Would love to see either Kitchen or Living room next!
So interesting! Loved especially when you covered the lamp or changed the colour of the frame. To see it how it changes the space, so inspiring thank you!
Absolutely loved this video. The way you think about design is so intentional and clear. I would have never been able to identify the strengths of each space and what strategies I should apply to my own space without your insight. Your compassion for each person who’s space you show and appreciation for the style they have even if it isn’t your own is absolutely awesome. Please keep producing these. I can’t wait to learn more about interior design than I could ever imagine. Also absolutely love every bed to couch rant and I hope that continues to be a theme too.
Feng Shui consultant apprentice here. There are a couple simple things you can do to purify your bed (and I reckon you have nothing to lose by trying them out!). Firstly, leave a bowl of salt and rice on top of your bed for the day (or overnight if you happen to be out). Toss the salt and rice away afterwards. Secondly, waft burning incense around the bed frame and then walk outside of the apartment with the incense still burning. Once outside, you can extinguish the incense and discard it (don’t bring it back inside). Doing both of these methods will thoroughly cleanse any residual energy from the previous owner.
I really like this video because I feel like my Pinterest board's gotten too insular and doesn't suggest much new stuff so this gives me great new ideas. I also appreciate when you talk about what item makes the design work and show how the image looks with that one feature taken out or changed to a different color. Enlightening!
Your videos always make me want to do things with my life (which is rare with other content consumption which generally leads to more content consumption) so I love you for it. I watch you whenever I feel too in my head and your mannerisms make me feel alive and want to interact with my surroundings
Oh oh! When you do choose to do kitchens, can you include the little dining space that is part of so many kitchens today? I mean how to make that cohesive with the kitchen itself?
Loved this, thanks. Big fan of the random contrast colour. My friends and I use weird voices all the time so just be yourself despite the haters. We will, however, never back a sofa up to a bed. Oh I have had a hard day, I'm exhausted so let me just slip off my shoes and relax by sitting facing backwards to my bed. Heaven forbid I just get on the bloody bed.
The really big headboards like the one shown in at around 8:35 are kind of neat in that they act like a rug does on the floor for defining a space. Like, "Hello, this is the nighttime space where we sleep but also have places to put our books or phones as we hunker down for the night, and this giant headboard is showing you where that space is." It's basically acting as a vertical rug.
I felt very targeted, cuz I have thousands of pinterest pics saved but don't really know how or what to put it in my rooms anyways 😅 This was very inspiring, I hope you make it in to a series 🎉
Don’t be self conscious about all your kooky voices! I love them so much; they remind me so exactly of me and one of my closest friends 🫶🏼😆 we both have always done weird voices here and there and we seem to bring it out in each other too. it’s so endearing and entertaining listening to you, and those weird noise moments help you make your point, or express your thought better, I’d say 🙌🏼✨
OK, this might be one of my faves so far: chill, but fascinating and I felt like I was learning a bunch. PLUS . . . "natural light might be what's keeping me from ending it all". Exactly. Also, just for the record, I enjoy the voices. The Voices have some pretty good ideas.😉 And finally, speaking of an accent color that makes the scene pop, the cute red sweater highlights your lovely gray-green eyes that I had never noticed after watching ALL your videos. Nice tough. Bravo! Do it again. How about home office inspo? Dang! my office is just a bin of work.
Yaaaayyy! ❤ Please do a series! I'd love an episode about studio apartments. You're so inspiring in everything you say and do! ❤ Definitely my favourite RUclips person ever!
Love the suggestion about liking or following stuff outside your comfort zone to keep your feed from turning into an echo chamber. I am totally doing that!
Kitchen please. With as many little voices as you can muster, I love them. Delightful video as always and I’m currently working on my bedroom so THANK YOU Caroline (I also cried laughing “they can sit on the floor”)

So glad to hear this. I like that the video making process forces me to articulate things I might not have had the words ready for previously. Helps me grow too❤
Agree! If I hear hear one more person talk about rug size and, curtain hanging I'm going to flip!

Hey Caroline - sitting in the flat I’ve just moved into by myself as a single twenty something guy surrounded by full packing boxes and work to do. I’ve been anticipating this move for a long time and have been trying to make sure my home will feel comfortable, creative, calming and like mine after having lived in places that have sapped my energy for years.

Aw I’m so glad!! Do something kooky ❤
@@Caroline_Winkler I'll see what comes to fruition!
I loved seeing your analysis of the layering and texture in these rooms. Especially interesting how removing one high-impact item/color can completely change the room. Thank you for the dog with his stuffy too.
I don't understand why this content makes me so happy... relaxed 😌
My favorite thing to hear. That’s how I aim to make my content bc that’s how I’d want to feel too ❤️
As Paige Wassel would say, I think we all got a “design high” from watching your video Caroline 😂. Gracias!
I got a vinyl, padded headboard that was stained at the thrift shop. Through Walmart I ordered a vinyl spray paint meant for car interiors. The headboard looks new now and it was an easy, inexpensive fix. I chose Ford Mustang tan. 😊
Wonderful how you coordinated your pendant with your black background "hat". It really connects you to the wall. 🙂
Ty for appreciating
I noticed that too.
Love the voices, love the digressions, love the real talk. (And obv love the expertise).🎉🎉
I have mismatched side tables and I never would have thought to put table cloths over them, but that's 100% a really neat way to make them match!
My favorite Saturday mornings are when you drop a new video. Thanks so much for making my day. My Saturday is now much more inspired. 💚
Yes! Kooky as heck and some not so much inspo pictures, please! It's so helpful that you articulate what's appealing that can translate to another space.
The former tenant that lived in my apartment died, sitting in a chair, fell asleep and never woke up. When I first entered this place I felt someone giving me a hug. More spiritual than physical. I have always felt safe here. The very comfortable chair I'm sitting in belonged to a neighbor that was committed to the state mental hospital. I used to own a rocking chair that belonged to the first person who died if Aids in my city. Just saying.
Your point about that deep red lamp is well taken. I love layering stuff in front of stuff.👍🏻
We had the impressionist Mary Cassat's painting of a little girl at the beach in our girl's room.
Thanks for the memory Caroline.
Yes, expose your kids to nature and well-done wholesome art and music from babyhood.
When she said 'this is an image I hate', I automatically knew why because I remembered it from past videos LOLOL. This was a great video! You are so freaking hilarious and so good with design, ty for being a design senpai ❤
@@cvtniss I don’t know if you know but the comment you got was from a scammer impersonating Caroline Winkler. The real Caroline Winkler has since reported and deleted the scammer channel’s comments.
@@charlottefletcher thank you!!! I thought the name was weird but I can’t tell on YT 😔😔
I'd love for you to make a video about designing for contemporary/moden open floor plan apartment spaces. I live in a 2bdrm condo with all white walls and minimalist cabinetry, shades, etc.-and I'm torn about conforming to the design aesthetic of the architecture versus going against it to do something more "me". But not sure how to do this successfully. And white boxy bedroom with roller shades is a bit of a struggle!
I LOVED this video Caroline. I think it’s helping me to view inspo differently. I feel like lately I look at a picture and feel like I need to get an exact style/pattern/item that I like, rather than looking at WHY I like it and then applying that in my own way. I would love to see a bathroom inspo video next!!
Also I absolutely live for the silly voices.
I PURCHASED a NEW couch to put in front of my bed-- just so my 2 tall dogs would have a place to sleep, but still be close to us. A double bed does not fit 2 adults and 2 big, beautiful dogs. Every day, I wake to see them look over the top of the couch at us, with their sweet brown eyes that say good morning. Dogs are so pure. Those little moments of morning joy are worth my design faux pas! Loved this episode, I got a lot out of it! Thanks.
Perfect example of how nothing applies to everyone and the most important thing is what makes you happy and works for you!
Watching this from Ukraine before going to bed. You video made my day, Caroline! As always, you are so charming and funny! Love your ideas of layers and unexpected popping of color! I would really like this to be a series and it would be great to see some kookie ideas for the kitchen--it's my favorite space in the whole wide world!!! Please take care! Big bear hug!!!
There are lots of good design videos on styles and trends and basic design rules. Your videos make me see the room as a piece of art- no one else does that for me. I still remember you saying that interior design is a mindfulness practice and I feel that as you talk about these rooms.
Wow. A piece of feedback I truly love and treasure. Thank you ❤️
Loving this... yes, more please. Kitchens would be fun. Thank you Caroline!
Love this for a series! If you did a series like this I'd watch literally any of them but a room that I have a hard time finding inspo on is "foyers" (I call them entryways). Thanks for being you!
Please do a series! As I've been mulling over bedside lamps, this was super helpful!
Your recent “design for indecisive people” plus now this video??? Chefs kiss. It’s like these videos were made just for me!!!! Thank you!
Yay, please do a series, next a kitchen one would be great. Thanks ❤
What I've learned from you about accent colors is taking me to the next level. I had palettes and layouts down, but everything started to feel samey, too much flow if that makes sense. The little pops that stand out are what I needed.
Thank you for: 1) being you; 2) your great design sense; 3) your great videos; and 4) the sweet video of the dog looking at his stuffy...it made my day! : D
He is our hero today
It’s Teddy from A Guy and a Golden.
Loved the dog… you can add random stuff like that anytime!
This video has helped me so much today! Over the last few weeks I have come to the realization that I won't be moving from my very small rental condo for the foreseeable future. So I had decided earlier in the week that I will invest in some decor to enhance the 'white box' that I call home. I love that you explain what to look for, how to breakdown what components you love, etc. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Yes! Please make this a series!
This was awesome. I know what I like but don’t really think about why I like it. I’m going through a major decluttering at the moment and find that a part of this is wanting to change the design of what is on my walls.
Would really like to have you do more of these. Living room especially interests me.
I would love to see kitchen content - but specifically kitchens in places with no formal dining room!
Hi Caroline! I'm a big fan and I actually got my mom into your videos too! She's been really into redesigning her house, clearly inspired by your videos! It's so cool to see her having fun with designing her home instead of stressing about it. Every time I visit her house her style has evolved and there are new and interesting things to see. :)
We often talk about "What would Caroline do with [enter interior design problem here]?"
Are you planning on doing anymore of those critique/advice interior design videos for viewers' rooms?
By the time I drag myself to bed, the last thing I need is a room that is 'cute as hell'. I want rest, harmony, peace and tranquility. I look for gorgeous sheets, silky duvets, low lighting, somewhere to sit and take off my clothes, shoes, a soft rug to dig my feet in.
And velvet pillows.
Hahaha. I counted maybe 7 or 8 velvet pillows in these inspo photos. However, point taken, world. Stop going to sleep in unbeautiful spaces. This is your dream time. Make your fantasies come true. Thanks little sweetie for your always interesting viewpoints.
Gosh you are a gift sent from heaven for me right now. We are moving into our own house and we will be free to do whatever. I know I want to go crazy. I am very creative but I have no clue about design. I was scared to go bold what knew I wanted to go bold. I already knew I would like to make the ceiling colorful of our bedroom since it is tiny and only our bed will fit. So it will be a room full of bed and ceiling. From your videos I gather so much knowledge. Thank you! ❤
I love your silly voices, it's part of your charm
god bless you for the "takeaway" bubbles!!!!! I wish they would appear for me everywhere all the time
4:35 Dying!!! "It also keeps me from wanting to End it All!!!" Super Funny...😂 love this style of video!
I like your new lamp and side table. It looks like a more clean/modern look. It gives your more vintage space a fresh feel. I like the pairing with the old and the new!
Whoohooo! Caroline posted! 🎉❤
Hey, i was thinking.. what about when you're really broke and wanna change something but can't afford anything new, is there a way to still change your space? Like, how?
Thank you for what you do❤
Oh totally - could be a great video idea!❤
I like to move accessories, furniture, art from room to room & it helps change the space for free.
This is exactly what I needed. About to renovate my home and was stuck on what to do with my bedroom. THANK YOU for this video because now I know exactly what I'm going to do! Would love to see either Kitchen or Living room next!
I love your energy and your take on Interior design, I find it inspiring and I learn something new from you every time, thanks 🙂
Makes my day, I’m so glad
I just put a tablecloth over my side table and it has made me feel so much better about it!
So interesting! Loved especially when you covered the lamp or changed the colour of the frame. To see it how it changes the space, so inspiring thank you!
Absolutely loved this video. The way you think about design is so intentional and clear. I would have never been able to identify the strengths of each space and what strategies I should apply to my own space without your insight. Your compassion for each person who’s space you show and appreciation for the style they have even if it isn’t your own is absolutely awesome. Please keep producing these. I can’t wait to learn more about interior design than I could ever imagine.
Also absolutely love every bed to couch rant and I hope that continues to be a theme too.
Love this! Can the next episode be about bathrooms... and how to pick a design that is personal but also stand the test of time?
I d love to see more vlogs you can do absolutely anything i would watch it no matter what you can just drive and talk 😂😂❤❤
Thanks. My rental bedroom really needs some love & this is the kick in the butt I needed to start planning 🎉
Ok why is this so timely for me
Feng Shui consultant apprentice here. There are a couple simple things you can do to purify your bed (and I reckon you have nothing to lose by trying them out!). Firstly, leave a bowl of salt and rice on top of your bed for the day (or overnight if you happen to be out). Toss the salt and rice away afterwards. Secondly, waft burning incense around the bed frame and then walk outside of the apartment with the incense still burning. Once outside, you can extinguish the incense and discard it (don’t bring it back inside). Doing both of these methods will thoroughly cleanse any residual energy from the previous owner.
I really like this video because I feel like my Pinterest board's gotten too insular and doesn't suggest much new stuff so this gives me great new ideas. I also appreciate when you talk about what item makes the design work and show how the image looks with that one feature taken out or changed to a different color. Enlightening!
I LOVE LOVE LOVE " stuff behind stuff" especially behind lamps and also layering stuff on a mantel.
Please make this into a series. I loved the inspirations and your comments!
Hello and congratulations to you!!! 🎉 You are the best!!! Thank you sweet Caroline!❤
The sweetest ❤
Your videos always make me want to do things with my life (which is rare with other content consumption which generally leads to more content consumption) so I love you for it. I watch you whenever I feel too in my head and your mannerisms make me feel alive and want to interact with my surroundings
I relate to voices. Don’t change lol. My whole family does that kind of thing depending on the mood
🌈 I’d love most to see living rooms next!
Oh oh! When you do choose to do kitchens, can you include the little dining space that is part of so many kitchens today? I mean how to make that cohesive with the kitchen itself?
Please never stop the voices. You're the sweetest kook and I love it.
Loved this, thanks. Big fan of the random contrast colour. My friends and I use weird voices all the time so just be yourself despite the haters. We will, however, never back a sofa up to a bed. Oh I have had a hard day, I'm exhausted so let me just slip off my shoes and relax by sitting facing backwards to my bed. Heaven forbid I just get on the bloody bed.
but seriously...natural light keeps me SANE. Thank you for your videos!
Just in time! My bedroom is my next project. This was so helpful ❤
The really big headboards like the one shown in at around 8:35 are kind of neat in that they act like a rug does on the floor for defining a space. Like, "Hello, this is the nighttime space where we sleep but also have places to put our books or phones as we hunker down for the night, and this giant headboard is showing you where that space is." It's basically acting as a vertical rug.
I felt very targeted, cuz I have thousands of pinterest pics saved but don't really know how or what to put it in my rooms anyways 😅 This was very inspiring, I hope you make it in to a series 🎉
Don’t be self conscious about all your kooky voices! I love them so much; they remind me so exactly of me and one of my closest friends 🫶🏼😆 we both have always done weird voices here and there and we seem to bring it out in each other too. it’s so endearing and entertaining listening to you, and those weird noise moments help you make your point, or express your thought better, I’d say 🙌🏼✨
OK, this might be one of my faves so far: chill, but fascinating and I felt like I was learning a bunch. PLUS . . . "natural light might be what's keeping me from ending it all". Exactly.
Also, just for the record, I enjoy the voices. The Voices have some pretty good ideas.😉 And finally, speaking of an accent color that makes the scene pop, the cute red sweater highlights your lovely gray-green eyes that I had never noticed after watching ALL your videos. Nice tough. Bravo! Do it again. How about home office inspo? Dang! my office is just a bin of work.
Please make this a series!! I wanna see a kitchen vid next. I'm painting & rearranging my house rn & love the inspo. Thanks Caroline!
Great video. Please do a series for every major room in a house.
Yaaaayyy! ❤
Please do a series! I'd love an episode about studio apartments.
You're so inspiring in everything you say and do! ❤
Definitely my favourite RUclips person ever!
Love this video! Thank you! I feel like I’m always seeing the same 5 boho bedrooms on Pinterest
Love the suggestion about liking or following stuff outside your comfort zone to keep your feed from turning into an echo chamber. I am totally doing that!
Kitchen please. With as many little voices as you can muster, I love them. Delightful video as always and I’m currently working on my bedroom so THANK YOU Caroline (I also cried laughing “they can sit on the floor”)
Kitchen and voices coming your way 🙌
Yes. I love hearing you talk through what you like and what feels “tense”, etc. The photos with and then without an object are helpful. Thanks.
