I needed to hear this. Moved into a new house in June and hate how long it's taking to make my house look nice and cohesive. Slow and steady wins the design race...
I think with every video you post, I find inspiration in each one. Not only do I love your ideas, I find that I have also done some things the right way. 😊.
When I am having trouble with tablescapes I find that taking a picture and then moving things around and taking another photo helps me see what is working and what is not. Something about looking at a picture makes it easier to edit and make changes. I love your videos and am grateful for your advice.
I really like the “aha” effect of the styling trick you are talking about. It’s literally the core of the solution. Like the grouping with different shapes and heights , or pairs with similar textures. 👍👍👍 it’s so practical! Also other suggestions are on point too!
I especially liked the " Still Life Styling " tips!! Please include more before and after photos- it really helps to freeze each shot and analyze the differences! Xo from Canada ❤️
I so love your videos, they both encourage and pacify if I feel frustrated with the (lack of) progress in our home. We’ve lived here for a bit over a year and still aren’t quite in the “styling” phase because I want to be intentional with organizational items (they absolutely need to be beautiful by themselves already). Your tips always remind me that my approach is just right for what I want to achieve. 🙏🏻
I love the advice about matching table and chairs by material. I bought a large table in oak and oak veneer from IKEA, and found 8 beautiful vintage solid oak chairs with wool tapestry upholstery in sage green and cream. Everyone admires it and assumes it is a fancy designer set. Bonus - I paid about 12€ a piece for the chairs in the charity shop. This cannot be beat.
Thanks for showing table top styling. It does tend to be a little frustrating. I personally love very close tones but different texture and materials. I find it soothing.
Mister Reynard. Good to see you post. Sometimes I will buy from a thrift store with no returns, usually it looks better than I thought it would, but sometimes it looks terrible. In that case you can always sell it. Think of lone fox "décor drop", he makes a lot of money selling that stuff. Reynard, on your point of varying shapes with a room: bedrooms are always rectilinear boxes, i.e., the bed, the dressers, nobody has a round bed. LOL. All BOXES. "Warehousesque". BUT, if you use round night stands, it makes a world of difference. AND functional when you get up in the middle of the night. They could be half round, oval, and a drawer is nice. This makes a huge difference. If I could fit a chair in there, it would be very rounded as well. Maybe a small round stool? Thank you.
For bedroom I find lamps to be very helpful. It helps break up the boxiness and also functional. But yes, round night stands, or a bench or chair can be helpful too.
You got it right when you first said : don't use the entire colour wheel in your decorating . 😂 Then you said : but you can if you want . Yeah , nahhhhh . I will trust your first advice on that one Reynard . So don't be such a people pleaser . "Oh you can if you want ." No my class won't be using the entire colour wheel in their homes . This is not a 🌈 camp week Reynard . 🤣
Yes, the opposite on the colour wheel is orange, but it doesn't have to be that literal colour. I love cognac. This could be tan leather, rich mid tone wood or bring it in through vases or sculpture. There are colour palette generators, or simply put your colours into an image google search with the key words 'colour palette' and see if anything appeals.
For a coastal, add another different blue like turquoise. For another color, Terra Cotta, you might like. Careful, just a touch at first. A touch of black or chocolate bar color really does "ground" the room.
I bought things second hand and if I changed my mind it didn't cost me much because where I got my items for decorating. Was at a second hand store that would cost me 50 cents to. Maybe $5 an item. So finally after a year, I decided what I really wanted. To trial and error. So if you're change things in your house make sure it will cost you next to nothing until you decide exactly what you want.
My pet peave is kitchen with huge vase of branches and a painting leaning on the counter next to the stove. Insane fire hazard. What kitchen has a giant tipsy vase of flammable messy branches?
The examples for contrast are pretty confusing. The first one at 1:32 looks pretty great but it's shown as if it was bad? The "good" examples around 1:43 look worse IMO
I want to give you an idea home should b like home not like a museum 😂😅❤❤ big is beautiful this video pattern should b small flats like 123456789 bhks not like very big flats so make video like #wise +n income wise

I've been binge watching your videos since morning. Love whatever you've curated together.
I have a scythe with greyed branch as the handle. It’s large, I could not abandon this 150 year old family thing. Memory of hard work of past family.

Loved that before and after picture of the greige living room, with and without 'dressing'.

This is *such* a good idea! I was wondering what annoyed me about our bedroom, it’s the boxiness!
I really needed to hear that intro, it's like you were speaking to me directly. Thank you!
This is by far my favorite video! Thanks once again for the wonderful tips :) ❤
Lighting, lighting, lighting. 💡
Love your jacket! Quality speaks for itself.❤
You are so helpful. You explain it in a clear concise manner.
I really appreciated your still life information
Great video!
All great ideas! Thanks Reynard 👏
Fantastic video. So much detail and inspiration in such a short time 😊
Fab tips!💙💙💙
I love your jacket!
Thank you for your great inspiration!!.👌💯👍✌️
Very good 👍
And lighting!
Could you please give ideas when the flooring is dark shade

🤣
I think he said you don't have to use the entire color wheel in your room but can if you want. Yes, there's a difference.
Whats good contrast that go with blues, white & silver(costal). I feel I need another color!
Depends on the blues, but ochre or burnt umber are always nice.
You can also play with the depth of the colors, if everything is light, some dark colors and reverse
Yes, the opposite on the colour wheel is orange, but it doesn't have to be that literal colour. I love cognac. This could be tan leather, rich mid tone wood or bring it in through vases or sculpture.

I like a warn cozy sage green or moss green. Generally gives blue pallette an earthy finish kinda like literally sea/sky and land
For a coastal, add another different blue like turquoise. For another color, Terra Cotta, you might like. Careful, just a touch at first. A touch of black or chocolate bar color really does "ground" the room.
Any idea what the floor lamp on the right at 0:25 is called?
Evelyn&Zoe Mid-Century Modern 68.5" Tall Brass Floor Lamp
I just screenshotted that part and Google lense searched the lamp. Also modern globe lamp will pull up results that are similar.

the truth is when I buy furniture I care about functions more, I am currently hunting for a pull out seat sofa.
Trying to find a website you recommended for artwork and having trouble remembering the name…
I would love to hire you for a project I have. Would you be interested ?

First
sir can u provide me your home layout
✨🙏✨
My home doesn't look like the professional photos because I'm not into neutrals. 😅
In an attempt to make a home cozy people inadvertently create clutter,chaos,stress. Hard to find that fine line between cozy and cluttered.
