Thanks Lesli! I enjoy sharing my knowledge and experiences to help others. Interior design is so much more than finding pretty pieces or regurgitating current trends on social media. I don’t claim to know everything and there are other great trained and highly experienced designers like Rebecca Robeson and Amy Studebaker for example that I enjoy watching in my spare time. Thanks for watching and subscribing. 😀😀😀
Until seeing this video, I hadn’t put up any curtains in my home! Every single one has the accordion fabric shades! Might have to try a set in my living room to see how I like them.
This was very helpful! I like symmetry, but am also aware that one heavy chair on one side of the room could be balanced with two lighter chairs ("airy") on the opposite side. I also appreciate that you identify that you are *trained* in this area; although many things can be left to "personal taste", it's important to note that there are principles to design that are aesthetic, and not just "personal opinion".
Great basics video for someone who is starting out or revamping a space. How about a vid on scale of baseboards, mouldings and door trim? Have to comment, Garrett that your attention to the pace of your videos is one of the many reasons I subscribe. Many other "decorators" speak too fast and appear that they are watching an egg timer and content gets lost in their hurried delivery. You are gifted in the ability to be clear and concise within your allotted time.
Thanks so much for another lovely comment Lisa! I actually don’t have to read off a screen to present in our videos. I’m lucky I just know all this from getting my degree in interior design. I will look into including your suggestions in an upcoming video. 😃😃😃
I agree, Lisa! And what I also love about Garrett's videos is that he goes right to the content instead of rambling about what he is going to talk about. Just does it. So satisfying :)
It would seem several of us think you must have taken a couple classes on how to share what you’ve learned with those of us who only took home economics 30 years ago and only designed one pillow!
This is why you’re my favourite RUclips designer. Please keep making interesting and unique content like this, sometimes small and seemingly obvious things aren’t! My husband and I have been binging your channel as we renovate our historic farmhouse. Thank you ❤️
Thanks so much for your lovely comment and supporting our channel by watching and subscribing! We appreciate you and I’m so glad you are enjoying the videos. Much more to come. 😀😀😀
Thank you for saying all furniture doesn’t have to fit on my rug. I do have about 50% on it but was feeling like a major design failure by not finding a rug big enough. Now I can sleep at night. 😂😘
Thanks for watching and subscribing Aimee! I think you did great and having all the furniture on an area rug would have been a design failure in my opinion. 😀😀😀
Glad I saw this before I went out to buy my first rug. I thought you only needed the furniture to touch onto the rug! 😅. 50% is probably be what I aim for first. Thrilled you explained that the rug doesn’t need to extend the length of a room and by making a grounded space, I’m leaving an intentional walking space. Sorry for all the comments but I’m just so excited!
I felt like I was in my first year of interior design school. You really covered the elements & principles of design in a succinct and clear manner in just 13 minutes--loved it! Keep it coming Garret--love your channel!
Thanks so much Lucy! I’m glad you enjoyed the video. I think you will enjoy today’s video very much. We appreciate your support in watching and subscribing to our channel. 😀😀😀
My big complaint on all those shows on HGTV is that on the reveal, they mostly do nothing to elevate the windows. It mostly looks like they go to Target and grab some shades or curtains with grommets and call it a day. I have even seen them sew up some paint drop cloths to be a budget saver.
Thank you so much! I truly appreciate you saying that. We work hard to make videos that are useful and helpful in a fun manner. Not just fluff or what’s trending on social media that week. I’m so glad you are enjoying the videos! 😀😀😀
You're a great teacher, Garrett, do you know? Thank you so much for this. FINALLY, someone actually *explains* the hanging curtains at the ceiling thing, instead of just dictating it. Bless you for that! Also, love your outfit, in this video - so elegant. The quality of your pullover comes through even in RUclips-grade video.
Thanks so much Donna! I'm glad you are enjoying the channel. Please take a moment to support the channel if you haven't already, and join our very valued subscriber family. :)
You have come such a long way in such a short time. I get so much out of your shows and your shows are getting so much more enlightening everytime I watch.
Thanks so much Alice! We appreciate your support. We are working hard to be the best. It takes time. All our views and subscribers are real too and we are proud of that. GarrettLeChic to the 🌛😀😀
Thank you so much! I feel like I just had a interior design class. I am going to try to evaluate my living room with fresh eyes keeping these principles in mind
You continue to educate and clarify in such a refreshing manner, Garrett. Thank you for dispelling the “art hanging rule” for height. I could not agree more with how you need to look at the architecture and consider other factors. I also love how your kids have fur.
Love love love this video! It was so informative, especially the segment on drapery. I love that you really know your stuff and have concrete tips on how to make design and planning work. Also really appreciate the explanation of scale. This was like attending a really good classroom. Love your videos more and more every week! Keep them coming Mr leChic!
Thanks so much for your support Uma! I appreciate you watching and subscribing to our channel. I’m glad you’re enjoying our videos and much more to come. 😊😊😊
Thanks so much for an actual rule on the curtain "fullness!" I knew mine were too thin, but couldn't figure out appropriate measurements to prevent in the future. LoneFox shared a great tip for eyelit curtains to look fuller. Put toilet paper rolls between the hidden sections and they always look full. The only issue is if it's a smaller window, I had to cut them down because when opened, the curtains were taking up 50-70% of the window space and not allowing light in.
What I like about your videos is that the pictures are lovely yet attainable by the average person. I tend to ditch videos of 20 foot ceilings with wall to wall ceiling to floor glass overlooking amazing scenery. These examples do not help me style ordinary rooms with standard windows and 8 to 9 foot ceilings. Your videos do.
Thanks Alicia! I didn’t start the channel till the after the lock downs for Covid, but we are growing quickly and organically. Most channels take several years to get to this point if they ever do, but we are doing everything right and we will be very big one day. 😀😀😀
I'm in the middle of purchasing my first flat and I just save all your videos. I've watched for a few months now, you have so many tips that are actually useful and it's a rare thing to find. I love that most things you say can apply to every design style as well (I think you'll hate my flat as I toe the line between eclectic and tacky loool) . Big love from the UK ❤️
THANK YOU for this!! Especially mentioning hanging artwork higher or in line with architectural features! I also never understood the whole eye line “rule” I would hear from others. In my opinion, I like things that catches me to look up because I feel like we’re always looking down at things-phones, computers, etc. Anything that makes me keep my head up a little bit more automatically makes me feel “lighter” too.
Thank you so much Garrett. This is the most in-depth and informative interior design video I've seen. Your design background and knowledge shines through as well as your personality. This will be on endless repeat for me. Love your channel and I am subscribed!
Love love this video. Love that you're speaking to regular folks who don't know anything about interior design. Just found your channel and am so excited to see all your videos!
I love, love, love your videos! I am going through a big change in my life and i am throwing myself into making everything around me beautiful! The information on interior design you offer is spot on and refreshing! one of my biggest prt peeves is when you walk into a persons home and their wall art , picture frames or what have you, are hung up so high that the room looked bad to put it gently, I have made my own interior decorating mistakes, but now I have your videos to enhance my interior decorating skills Keep up the good work!
I've been watching a lot of interior design principles videos, but this one gave a lot of great extra information and tips I hadn't come across before. Thank you!
The tip about scale and proportions is essential. Something to consider when we try to recreate a space that we see in a picture or a book, lighting is also very important and in my opinion is one of the most difficult to balance the right way. Good video!!
New sub here! So glad I found you bc I feel like I'm hearing the same "trendy" suggestions from the YT design community. I appreciate your formal education with actual design knowledge. I've started following a lot of smaller RUclipsrs whose aesthetic I appreciate bc it's not all the same and isn't trend overload. love u and your channel!
Hey Garrett, I was having a bad day, and seeing your face come up when I opened RUclips today made me feel better ❤️🩹 I just wanted to share a thank you for being here 😘
Yet another great video, Garrett! I learn so much from you and your style of teaching makes this so interesting and practical. Thank you! We are plotting and planning our forever home and watching your videos is so helpful!!
Sharing your professional tips about decorating especially about drapes and artwork is helpful. The guidelines are great to help our homes look more balanced and pleasing. Thanks!
Great video and I totally agree about the hanging artwork. I’m always focusing on the lines and how the eye travels. Thank you for sharing your experience and knowledge.
Thank you for your knowledgeable insights! I have been struggling on how to tie all my things together and you pointed out some important points with scale and lines. I finally get it! Appreciate you sharing!
I subscribed and have been binge watching your videos, and omg they are eye-opening and brilliant. THANK YOU for giving us the key elements of interior design in this video. These foundational points will make a huge difference in our spaces. I'm buying a small, old home in France and cannot wait to apply what I'm learning from you!
Thanks so much! We appreciate you watching and subscribing. Please remember there are over 50 videos already on our channel for you to enjoy plus much more to come including today. 🎃🎃🎃
Thank you! Love hearing these basics. When I was working with interior designers, making their custom drapery panels, they always seemed to either want 1.5 widths or 2 widths per panel, to frame the window.
Thanks Sharon! We appreciate your support. It’s a good rule of thumb unless you have really tall ceilings which I’ve dealt with a great deal. I’ve even heard up to 3 times opined. It all depends on the dimensions of the space. 😀😀😀
I live in a classic tract house and my ceilings are 8 ft. When went to hang my new rods I realized that I needed 90-92 inch curtains and they are standard 94-96 inches. I am not in the position to hem my jeans much less 8 panels of curtains, so I relented and put them in the place for the standard 84 inch panel.
Thank you for this video! So I know next to nothing about home design/decoration but I'm learning now and I'm glad I found your video to watch first to get into it! My long term goal is to invest into tiny home airbnbs. I want to do this for many reasons but my first reason is if you keep thinking about something and it brings you excitement, stick with it! I went on 😂 but again, thank you! You made it really easy to understand. If you want to suggest another video of yours thats for beginners, I'm open to it!
You are so welcome! Please take a moment to support the channel and become a subscriber. I think you will find that all my videos are done in a way that anyone could understand and learn from regardless of their level experience with interior design. I post videos every Thursday at 1pm Pacific Time and Sundays at 10am Pacific Time. Additionally, I also recommend as you have time to go to our channel page and watch all the past videos. They are a wealth of helpful information. Lastly, I have a virtual interior decorating consultation service where you can book consultations with me if you need assistance with specific spaces or have decorating issues you would like my assistance with. Booking can be made at intro.co/garrettlechic The available consultation times you see are already in your time zone as long as you have the VPN on your phone or computer off when visiting the booking site. Thanks for your support Erika!🤗🤗🤗
Your videos get better and better! I am really starting to trust you. :) If you can, I would appreciate a video discussing how to balance dark walls and create drama and magic. I love dark walls!
Hello 👋 great video, I just shared this video with my stepson who just moved into a new apartment and was asking me about how he should decorate and style his home he is starting fresh so this video is perfect for him to get started. As always you never disappoint.
Your videos are always interesting and informative. Your illustrations speak volumes and underscore the point you're making. I always learn something, like the stacking depth of draperies and WHY one example looks right and another doesn't. This channel provides practical knowledge and useful tools to mere mortals who aspire to a higher esthetic than we could attain without some sage advice from a friendly professional. Thanks.
Hi Garrett thanks for sharing your expertise I am learning a lot. I know it is a little early, but wondering if you could do a video on non traditional Christmas decor ie no Santa’s, red & green, farm house, or Dollar Tree crafts. Thanks.
Thanks for watching and subscribing Marilyn! We discussing now what we might do for the Christmas holiday season so I honestly can’t give you a concrete answer yet. 😀😀😀
ty so much this video is really sweet and educating! i took architecture major and had interior career for 8 years and this taught me so much, thankyou
@@GarrettLeChic aww thank u! quickly subscribed and i would checkout on your class soon, i'd like to discover more interior videos to boost my personal career! cheers from indonesia xx
Am a new subscriber of your channel and I really love all the tutorials especially on the draperies and wall art.😊I’m impressed . I learned a lot. Looking forward for more!
Hi Garrett! I just love ❤️ this video, I always learn so much from you! Thank you so much 😊 for helping me understand how I need to decorate or redecorate my home! Much love 💕 from Puerto Rico 🇵🇷
Hello Lynn! Thanks so much for watching and subscribing! I would love to collaborate with Naomi Campbell someday on interior design styles of Kenya. I saw a program of her home there. We appreciate you taking the time to comment. 😊😊😊
Simple things to apply, great impact! I was smiling at your explanation about the stacking depth of curtains. I wish my hubby heard this when we were getting custom drapes. It was so hard to convince him but he could have agreed right away if it was you explaining ☺️
Beautiful dark wood floors can be very beautiful and are often found in some of the finest homes in the world. Everyone in interior design has an opinion, but all that matters if you like it because it's your home. Thanks for supporting out channel by subscribing! :)
Garrett, Thank you. You are amazing! I love how you know your stuff! I love your ideas! One idea I would like to explore is how not to be like everyone else when designing your home. I wouldn't anyway, but I feel like there is something to creating a beautiful space with your unique style and how it can still be comfortable and usable. What tips can you give us to design a space we ourselves will love.
Thanks so much Kimberly for your lovely comment! I agree. I always try to encourage my subscribers to create a design and decor style that reflects their personality and makes them happy. That’s why I don’t push my own design style or just regurgitate what’s trending on social media, and we create videos about various styles and aspects of the craft I love to share which I learned getting my degree in interior design. I don’t encourage people to jump on trends, but to take inspiration from them, magazines, things you learn on the channel and take your time to determine what will make you happy in your home. Your request is a central theme of the channel. I definitely would suggest going to the channel as you can and watching all the many videos we have on the channel. 😀😀😀 Here is a link to a video about creating your own design style I posted last year: 5 Easy Ways To Get Your Own Design Style ruclips.net/video/bGG6RpbDwOQ/видео.html
I don’t know much ...but I do know how much I have learnt from your instructive and sensible videos. Thank you very much indeed. 🙏Actually... a little longer video will be even better ! 🤓😍😉
Thanks Betty! We appreciate your support in watching and subscribing to our channel. I try to give as much information as possible. Longer videos don’t seem to be popular with viewers probably because people have less time since the COVID lockdowns have pretty much ended for now. 😀😀😀
Stacking depth is the width from left to right of your curtains when you have them drawn and bunched at each end of your curtain rod. The minimum stacking depth in my opinion would be 1 inch per every foot of ceiling height. So if you have 9 foot ceilings that would be 9 inches in stacking depth. Hope that helps!😀😀😀
Oh thank god! I was starting to go into withdrawal without a new video! LOL. Love, love, love the cable knit sweater but where do you live that it's cool enough it + a collared shirt? LOL Way too warm for that in Chicago still. I wish whoever designed/built my house understood the importance of lighting. There is literally no built- in lighting in our living room. I have a floor lamp for now but it's not enough. Hoping to add some can lights eventually.
We live on the west coast and plus our home is kept pretty cold as we like. I’m so glad you are enjoying the videos. I think you’ll really like the one coming out Thursday. 😀😀😀
This video is right on time. I did the curtains and now I have a ton of art in my dining room trying to figure out how to finish off this room. I need tips before I shoot my next video. I'm taking notes 😅
@@GarrettLeChic Your channel will reach 100K before 2022. You have a very intelligent approach to interior decorating, providing tips on how to fix issues, not merely pointing them out and criticising them. You're also very charming and well dressed. Best of luck to you 👍
Yes! Finally someone giving practical advice for hanging art when you live in a house and not a museum.
😀😀😀
With so many RUclips decorators, it's so refreshing to find one who is actually trained and knows what works and what doesn't. Thank you, Garrett!
Thanks Lesli! I enjoy sharing my knowledge and experiences to help others. Interior design is so much more than finding pretty pieces or regurgitating current trends on social media. I don’t claim to know everything and there are other great trained and highly experienced designers like Rebecca Robeson and Amy Studebaker for example that I enjoy watching in my spare time. Thanks for watching and subscribing. 😀😀😀
Until seeing this video, I hadn’t put up any curtains in my home! Every single one has the accordion fabric shades! Might have to try a set in my living room to see how I like them.
Totally agree: wonderful to listen to expert advice!!! 💖
That's exactly what I felt!
This was very helpful! I like symmetry, but am also aware that one heavy chair on one side of the room could be balanced with two lighter chairs ("airy") on the opposite side.
I also appreciate that you identify that you are *trained* in this area; although many things can be left to "personal taste", it's important to note that there are principles to design that are aesthetic, and not just "personal opinion".
Thanks for your great comment Rosetta! We appreciate your support of the channel.
😀😀😃
Great basics video for someone who is starting out or revamping a space. How about a vid on scale of baseboards, mouldings and door trim?
Have to comment, Garrett that your attention to the pace of your videos is one of the many reasons I subscribe.

🤣🤣🤣
You are probably the first designer I have listened to that I can actually understand. You make things so relatable.

Thanks Gina and thank you for watching and subscribing!😀😀😀
I am so glad that I have found your channel! Your content is always so detailed, interesting and enjoyable 😊

Wow! This discussion of scale really opened my eyes!
Finally! Practical advice with rationale I can follow. Thanks, Garrett...I am looking forward to more videos.
Thanks so much! We appreciate you watching and subscribing. Please remember there are over 50 videos already on our channel for you to enjoy plus much more to come including today. 🎃🎃🎃
Well laid out video! Great theory expressed in a very accessible way.
Thanks Jo! I’m glad you enjoyed the video. We appreciate you watching and subscribing to our channel. 😀😀😀
Thank you! Love hearing these basics. When I was working with interior designers, making their custom drapery panels, they always seemed to either want 1.5 widths or 2 widths per panel, to frame the window.
Thanks Sharon! We appreciate your support. It’s a good rule of thumb unless you have really tall ceilings which I’ve dealt with a great deal. I’ve even heard up to 3 times opined. It all depends on the dimensions of the space.
😀😀😀
I live in a classic tract house and my ceilings are 8 ft. When went to hang my new rods I realized that I needed 90-92 inch curtains and they are standard 94-96 inches. I am not in the position to hem my jeans much less 8 panels of curtains, so I relented and put them in the place for the standard 84 inch panel.
Thank you for this video! So I know next to nothing about home design/decoration but I'm learning now and I'm glad I found your video to watch first to get into it! My long term goal is to invest into tiny home airbnbs. I want to do this for many reasons but my first reason is if you keep thinking about something and it brings you excitement, stick with it!
I went on 😂 but again, thank you! You made it really easy to understand. If you want to suggest another video of yours thats for beginners, I'm open to it!

Your videos get better and better! I am really starting to trust you. :) If you can, I would appreciate a video discussing how to balance dark walls and create drama and magic. I love dark walls!
Thanks Miriam! I’m glad you are enjoying our videos and I’m happy sharing what I learned getting my degree in interior design.
😀😀😀
The information you share is fabulous so thank you.
Hello 👋 great video, I just shared this video with my stepson who just moved into a new apartment and was asking me about how he should decorate and style his home he is starting fresh so this video is perfect for him to get started. As always you never disappoint.
Thanks so much! We appreciate you sharing our channel with others. That’s a great compliment and means a lot. 😀😀😀
Always interesting and knowledgeable.
Thanks Amy! We appreciate your support. You are a great subscriber.
I really liked how you explain the reason for anything that is a must!
Thanks so much! I’m glad you are enjoying. 😊😊😊
Your videos are always interesting and informative. Your illustrations speak volumes and underscore the point you're making. I always learn something, like the stacking depth of draperies and WHY one example looks right and another doesn't. This channel provides practical knowledge and useful tools to mere mortals who aspire to a higher esthetic than we could attain without some sage advice from a friendly professional. Thanks.
😀😀😀
Hi Garrett thanks for sharing your expertise I am learning a lot. I know it is a little early, but wondering if you could do a video on non traditional Christmas decor ie no Santa’s, red & green, farm house, or Dollar Tree crafts. Thanks.
Thanks for watching and subscribing Marilyn! We discussing now what we might do for the Christmas holiday season so I honestly can’t give you a concrete answer yet.
😀😀😀

Thanks you so much Garret, really informational 👍👍 subscribed
Awesome, thank you! Welcome to the channel.
Simple things to apply, great impact! I was smiling at your explanation about the stacking depth of curtains. I wish my hubby heard this when we were getting custom drapes. It was so hard to convince him but he could have agreed right away if it was you explaining ☺️
Thanks for watching and subscribing! I’m glad you enjoyed the video. 😀😀😀
Much appreciate your tips and knowledge.
Thanks for supporting our channel!

My pleasure! Thanks for watching and subscribing Melanie. We appreciate you. :)
Thank you! I've heard the eye height my entire life - you are awesome :)
I’ve been told dark wood floors are dated… I have them and LOVE them in my century home-and, it’s original, not laminate.
Beautiful dark wood floors can be very beautiful and are often found in some of the finest homes in the world. Everyone in interior design has an opinion, but all that matters if you like it because it's your home. Thanks for supporting out channel by subscribing! :)
Thanks for the great advice and educating on hanging art work. I’d love to see a video on creating gallery walls.
Great tips, thank you.
Garrett, Thank you. You are amazing! I love how you know your stuff! I love your ideas! One idea I would like to explore is how not to be like everyone else when designing your home. I wouldn't anyway, but I feel like there is something to creating a beautiful space with your unique style and how it can still be comfortable and usable. What tips can you give us to design a space we ourselves will love.
Thanks so much Kimberly for your lovely comment! I agree. I always try to encourage my subscribers to create a design and decor style that reflects their personality and makes them happy. That’s why I don’t push my own design style or just regurgitate what’s trending on social media, and we create videos about various styles and aspects of the craft I love to share which I learned getting my degree in interior design. I don’t encourage people to jump on trends, but to take inspiration from them, magazines, things you learn on the channel and take your time to determine what will make you happy in your home. Your request is a central theme of the channel. I definitely would suggest going to the channel as you can and watching all the many videos we have on the channel. 😀😀😀
Here is a link to a video about creating your own design style I posted last year: 5 Easy Ways To Get Your Own Design Style

@@GarrettLeChic Thanks Garret, I appreciate your time!
@@mermaidswhimsy8601 Thanks so much!🙏😊
I don’t know much ...but I do know how much I have learnt from your instructive and sensible videos. Thank you very much indeed. 🙏Actually... a little longer video will be even better ! 🤓😍😉
Thanks Betty! We appreciate your support in watching and subscribing to our channel. I try to give as much information as possible. Longer videos don’t seem to be popular with viewers probably because people have less time since the COVID lockdowns have pretty much ended for now. 😀😀😀
These are the explanations I have been looking for! Thank you!

Fantastic video! You are an excellent teacher!

This is the first time I didn't understand what you were talking about. Can you do an in depth explanation of stacking depth please?
Stacking depth is the width from left to right of your curtains when you have them drawn and bunched at each end of your curtain rod. The minimum stacking depth in my opinion would be 1 inch per every foot of ceiling height. So if you have 9 foot ceilings that would be 9 inches in stacking depth. Hope that helps!😀😀😀
@@GarrettLeChic That does help quite a bit, thank you!!!
Oh thank god! I was starting to go into withdrawal without a new video! LOL. Love, love, love the cable knit sweater but where do you live that it's cool enough it + a collared shirt? LOL Way too warm for that in Chicago still. I wish whoever designed/built my house understood the importance of lighting. There is literally no built- in lighting in our living room. I have a floor lamp for now but it's not enough. Hoping to add some can lights eventually.
We live on the west coast and plus our home is kept pretty cold as we like. I’m so glad you are enjoying the videos. I think you’ll really like the one coming out Thursday. 😀😀😀
Brilliant 👏 👏 👏
Thanks Salma and thanks so much for watching and subscribing!😀😀😀
This video is right on time. I did the curtains and now I have a ton of art in my dining room trying to figure out how to finish off this room. I need tips before I shoot my next video. I'm taking notes 😅
Love your channel ❤ Just discovered and subscribed.
Welcome to the channel! It's great having you as part of our subscriber family. :)
