It's incredibly rare to find a designer who is so down to Earth and offers real world practical advice on designing. Thank you Julie for your design tips!
"If you love it, who care what anyone else thinks." Totally agree! I have a sunshine yellow accent wall in my office that I'm sure isn't everybody's taste, but that's the point! It's not for everybody - it's for me! 🌞
I just recently covered my sofa in a banana yellow. I'm not sure of the colors for the two wing back side chairs. Any suggestions. I thought of black and white stripe or, peacock blue back and a neutral light color for the front.
Julie, I love how you explain interior designing for almost everyone to have a basic understanding of how to decorate their space using their own personal vibe.
I agree. When I began viewing these podcast I didn’t know where to begin with the design of my home. I was ready to chose the paint first…. I was headed for costly mistakes. Thank you Julie for making my home come together in a style and color scheme I really love.
I once read that if everything in your space is something you love then the space will inherently reflect you, you don't need to ask yourself if it goes with the other things in that space, it will all come together as it carries your energy.
Julie, your series is so brilliant! Not only are you inspiring, you really give us confidence to go forward, and I love the wide range of images you use. And of course "Who cares with what anyone else thinks?" ❤
I love how you give options to handle what makes your heart happy in small doses if it’s overwhelming. I really enjoy your vids. Thanks for sharing your creativity!
The most important thing I learned from you was choosing paint color last. We made the mistake of choosing the accent wall color before the decorations and then I was disappointed when NOTHING in the stores matched it.
Thank you! Your videos are authentic, helpful and have sound advice that are often hard to find in RUclips or social media. Crisp and clear without fluff!
Julie, I’m appreciating the knowledge that you are sharing about color wheels and the psychology behind color. my go to colors are wood tones and cream. Your series has helped me understand what I’m trying to do in my house. My style has evolved over many years and finally feel it’s being perfected. 🤩👌 thank you again 🙏🏻
Same but further along! My colors are jewel tones. 1640 sq ft white blank canvas condo! And being an artist during the epidemic I hit the jackpot with time to pull it all together! I am almost finished with major changes almost complete in my new kitchen and family room! Jewel tones used for this entire area: Chinese Red, dark teal, amethyst, black and Chinese Red with crystal knobs, deep purportedly stain on cabinets. Granite is black with beautiful large off white, red, and slight purple! Sounds crazy but it is turning out like a show stopper. It’s what I call my home a jewelry box!
Yes I must agree I’m loving this series! I’m 66 years old, and decorating has never came easy. The best part is yes it’s about creating the space for ourselves not any one else. Your descriptions, explanations are so clear and understandable, thank you! My big decorating mistake was painting dark walls and not having the correct lighting. After we had that house staged to sell last year have I finally started to understand it..…and now I’ve found you💜I am going with white walls now though along with bright, open, calming spaces. Thank you again and can’t wait for the next video!
Super!!! Love the color theory review. Knowing how to put colors together and the impact they have emotionally is key!! Sadly, most people don’t get that. Great educational tool. Thank you Julie!!
Ecstatic to find this channel. Very timely for me. My husband and I are slowly decorating our new home. Just wished i found this channel before we started buying furnitures. I think we still have a chance to make it look better 😍 thank you for a very informative content!!! Binge watching your previous videos.
So valuable right now as I change up my living space at this new exciting stage in my life - as another decade finishes and a new one begins in February 2021 (70) and solo is where it's at for me - I've always been a DIY type and love the change of continually trying something new - your videos are so beneficial and I thoroughly enjoy your beautiful presentation style
Julie!!!! OMG. THIS is the information I’ve needed my whole adult life. I always thought that you select the paint color first. 🙄 it totally makes sense to select it last. Thank you for the brief yet extensive lesson. 🌺🌸🌺
I'm so appreciative of this series. We're currently house shopping and you can bet I will be replaying these videos to help me decorate. I love the psychology of colors. That explains the why of how they affect me. Thank you Julie! P.S. Love the jacket 🙂
I have been relying on Julie's teachings for a while now. I was literally standing in line waiting on paint when I started watching this video. I quickly turned around cause Julie said it should be last...🤣! Hey I'm obedient 🤷🏾♀️!!!
The more of these I watch, the more I want to see. I really like the ease with which Julie speaks and she has some great thoughts and ideas in her series. Thank you for sharing all your experience with your viewers! Love your shows!
Hello 👋🏼 Julie! MaryAnna here! This video is a stroke of genius! The biggest mistake I ever made was painting an entire nursery orange - we pulled it from the crib bedding. It was actually quite cute, but sometimes overwhelming. I learned that with such a bright, vibrant color - an accent wall or furniture in orange would have been enough. Live and learn 😆🤣😂 I’m still not afraid of color! I’m getting ready to order bright yellow velvet curtains for a Dining Room! The room itself will be Benjamin Moore Ewing Blue. I have a HUGE cow painting that everyone loves when they see it! This room is gonna have flavor 😉
I’m just happy that you all find it worthwhile Robert! If these tips help you in any way, I’ve done a good job. So thankful for your continued support 🙏🏻☺️
Thanks so much Julie. I have just started to use navy blue in pillows in the living room. I have termed it with a floralish fabric in white and navy with lime green accents. Am so pleased with the results with so little effort. Enjoying your videos so much. Thanks for scaling down the music, this one is so relaxing and I can hear you so much better.
Thank you Julie! Best advice...choose paint color last. I’ve been doing it all wrong. I would choose what was “in” rather than what I like & match furnishings to that color, i.e., walls that had brownish/yellowish undertones when I really like cool undertones. No wonder my house never felt like me!
Julie this is a great video! Not only did it lead me to reflect on what I like but also brought out what I don't like, that's equally as important. You gave us great examples. I have always loved red, even as a child. If I had massive rooms I might use it as a paint color but in my small cottage, it's an accent color; I'd like to bring in more. I am not drawn to monochromatic. I think I'll watch the video again. Thank you! Need to select a new couch.
I love how you're so genuine and confident with what you believe in. I'm truly inspired; every video I watch from yourself I learn something new. Thanks a lot. Maybe one day you may talk about grey and chrome, how to combine them from room to room while throwing in colors like purple. I guess I'll be stuck with you until the end of time. thanks
Hi Julie! Love the break down of how colors and the feelings they influence. This video will help so many, including myself not be afraid to use color! I'm working one my living room and back door mud room/entry way next. I want to keep it open, calm, relaxing, yet inviting. Thanks so much!
I am an artist and a psychology professor...I know the effects color can have on mood etc. When I was young when I was a student I lived far north and being a southerner I was cold everywhere all the time. I learned to paint my bedrooms in a pale yellow to keep,me warm,and happy...those cloudy cold days got me down less surrounded by a pale warm yellow. I love ocean colors and traditional English BLUE AND WHITE PORCELAIN so I always combine blue and white with the yellow in my bedroom...and have done in various homes over the decades. I love working with color and enjoy painting canvases to combine the colors of my rooms...I live for color in my home, wardrobe, my art work, my garden.
I am so greatful I have found you .All of you content is so interesting.I am trying to renovate and it's so so hard to make decisions. You make me feel that I'm not alone and you are here to guide me every step of th e way.I wish you were here in Australia.You are amazing,thankyou for doing these for all of us that need you and can't have you x
I've always found colors fascinating and this is such a great video. Personally I don't like to wear a lot of colorful clothes but rather insert color into my shoes and accessories and it seems I apply the same logic to my interior design where all the surfaces and big pieces are pretty neutral and all the color is in the decor items. Works for me.
This presentation was organized in such a way that anyone could comprehend what Julie was sharing with us. In a few months I am going to renovate my 20 year old master bath! For me, the undertaking is daunting. My worst design mistake was choosing a semi checkered pattern tile floor that was whit and beige in our kitchen. I had 3 children, a dog and a cat! What was I thinking! It was too light and I had to mop it almost everyday. A very costly mistake.
Julie I absolutely love your videos! I just moved into my new home and I having the hardest time with my color scheme and style. I absolutely love the color purple and I want to use it as a paint color. I’m so nervous that it will look to childish or too dark. But after watching your videos I’m no longer afraid to try what I like. Who cares what anyone thinks.
Exactly Charyss 🙌🏻 Try Pinterest to look for similar purple walls so you get an idea of what palette direction to go in for furniture and accessories 👍🏻
Loving this series currently building a house and picking colour schemes. Planning on a pastel blue (glass slipper by Benjamin Moore) for main living area as a cheerful uplift. My husband suggested a cognac loveseat which at first I thought would contrast too much but after watching this I think might be good balance. Love how thought out this video was, Julie you are always full of the best information.
Julie, you are truly inspirational! We'll be moving into our new home soon and can't wait to use some of your tips to style our home. I've just bought 2 large lion heads (Male and female) photographic prints in black and white. They face each other. Both lion heads boast crowns. The prints are mounted in shiny silver frames. These pictures are my inspiration for my open plan living room. Now to decide on the rest of the furniture and furnishings. Thank you for sharing your tips. It is truly appreciated x
The biggest mistake I have made is painting my bedroom in yellow!! At that I was going through a tough time and I was drawn to that colour to make me happy 😜 we had to change it after a while because it was too bright for a room where we want to relax at the end of the day.
Yes its up!😍 I literally couldn't wait all week❤️ Thanks Julie! Your a great help! This video helped heaps! I was stuck with paint/colour glad your video came around just when I needed it!!!!!
Hi Julie - I absolutely love your videos. I am learning so much and it's helping me fix mistakes I made in my interior design choices. Only mistake I can't fix is the fact that I painted my walls first since it was the cheapest to start with. I will slowly choose new furniture pieces to go with the paint colors I fell in love with ❤.
It’s common to paint walls first, but if it’s neutral enough finding the right furniture can be less daunting. Happy shopping Nadege! Thank you for watching 🙏🏻☺️
I have lived in my house for twenty years and raised my two sons in the house which is about 45 years old. As a family- we have put a lot of wear and tear on the house. I am currently updating some critical things like windows, heating system, and roof. Those projects are just getting organized with contractors. I am now looking into refurbishing my kitchen and then the master bathroom. I also need to repaint the entire interior and update most of the flooring/carpeting. There are so many decisions and things to do, and I know it is going to be a process. I also want to get a new couch! Your videos have been very helpful!!!! Thank you!
Thanks for these videos they are awesome I am finally finishing decorating my family room and the other spaces in my home and have done it slowly to make sure I stay true to my style!
This was so awesome, I always love your tips 💖 I love-love-love the color purple 💜 all shades, I made the mistake of painting my craft room/office a dark purple 🤦♀️, after a couple of weeks I realized I wasn't using that room at all.....it was hideous & depressing. I still love my purple but now I use accent pieces and pillows. I will never do that again. Blessings 💖
Orange is my favorite color but only use it to decorate for fall - your brake down of the orange palette has inspired me to use your series to create a new bedroom wish/dream board - I always look forward to and enjoy your creative ideas and the thought process of design
Hi Julie I love your information on design and colour. I always have a problem choosing paint colour. I just love colour and it’s so easy to get carried away. The explanation you gave about how to interpret the colour chart was inspirational. Thank you. X
... What a treat this Series is, ...Oh my. I am recentlysubscribed, so I'm catchingup, lol ! I have such a variety of colours ,in my lounge, but the dominant ones are deep red, various shades of greens, very soft " cream- yellow", even a shade of blue ...and these colours were pulled from a piece I purchased, a painted console ( purchased from a friend, I'd admired it from the moment I saw it in her home ) and it set the tone for the rug, pillows, throws and other design elements. The remaining pieces in my lounge are pretty much " neutral ", ( various shades of soft white/ crream/ chiffon, etc) so it makes this particular piece " the star of the show", lol. I chose a very soft subtle yellowish cream colour for the wall it sits against, and the other walls are soft cream. ..so I guess it's ' the focal wall" ... 😉🙂
Thank u so much for your inspiring video..👍🏼..I think the biggest mistake I've made through the years is..following trends..what looks great in someone else's home may not be right for mine..I trust my gut more..and gravitate towards the colors and styles ..that reflect my own personality ..as far as colors go..I look to nature as an inspiration..if a room reads too cool ..I'll add warm wood tones ..such as a live edge table plants etc..if the room reads too dark..I can change the mood of the room with warmer lighting etc..I do love to see .."what's in" I can mix things up...with cool accessories..that I love
Trends are great to test out new styles! The beauty is sometimes trends naturally become a part of our evolving aesthetic. The bad news is sometimes those lines get blurred and we can lose our style testing out so many. Sounds like you’ve got your foundation laid down Samantha, love it 🙌🏻
Love your hair, looks very polished and professional, but I love your hair long too. Long makes you look younger, this cut makes you look mature and glam. Back to the color palettes!
I’ve been nonstop watching your videos! So soothing and I learn a lot! Hoping to see a video focused on black and white styles and how to make it classy or cozy! :)
Like your videos so much. Even though I am into the topic for nearly two years now, even now I am learning so many new things and perspectives about the "basics". Thank you and keep going.
Julie, I'm REALLY loving this series. I've been waiting patiently for this one. QUESTION: What do you do if you can't choose your wall color? Bought a previously owned house in excellent condition. But the livingroom main area is two stories. Its painted, including the ceiling, in a warm cafe au latte color which I like but the wooden floors are a similar color (2005 vibes) AND my leather furniture is also very similar color. It covers all of the common areas of the home. I like it but it's a bit too much for me now. I didn't choose the color but have to work with it bc it'll be too expensive right now to paint it . I love colors like greens and blues and some orange but really need something more calming. Sorry for the long post. Thanks
Since you have such a monochromatic space I would say try using accessories and wall art to draw interest. Source cool artwork, scour your local TJ Max and Marshals for interesting flower pots and use those to add a few plants in order to add that pop of green.
You can layer color first with area rugs to define space and help give your floors/ sofas some definition. Then add more texture and color with curtains and drapery panels to help define the walls and windows. Have fun with accents, but if the walls read “warm”, cooler colors like blues and greens may fight it. Try muted shades like sage and powder blues for a calming effect Claude!
Love how you said, look at your wardrobe and decorate to what speaks to you, in so many words. It's funny but true, I love glamour but in my world, not many are that way. For instance my husband and his family. Everybody does constant casual no matter what. I think of the old tv show, Green Acres. :0
I moved into an apartment without having any furniture. Although it's amazing having a blank space, it's also sooo overwhelming. I just don't know where to start :/ Looking for inspiration on pinterest I in fact chose one of your examples: the room with the matte black wall built-in. Love it. One of the only things I know is that I like dark colors and want my home to feel cozy and special, but not too designed. Going to watch more of your videos...
Beautiful examples...I liked it so much I watched it a second time with the sound off to focus just on the color combinations. Your videos are superb for teaching decorating...wish I had had them when I was young..I had to learn whatever I know slowy over time from decorating books, art books and classes and trial and error...
You are definitely right about yellow. Our home had all mustard yellow walls when we moved in with medium toned hardwood floors… “Matchy Matchy”. We decided to tone down the wood by painting the walls a medium gray (Benjamin Moore - Whale Grey).
Julie (I love so many things about you and your videos but I had to say) I simply LOVE that b&w jacket/sweater. It's sooooooo cute and looks great on you!!!
Hello, I'm a new subscriber and in the process of getting my own home so will definitely be using your tips. Was never really a creative person so decorating and knowing what colors go well together is my weakness. I try watching house tours to see what layout, style, colors, etc really catch my eyes and go with something similar.
It's incredibly rare to find a designer who is so down to Earth and offers real world practical advice on designing. Thank you Julie for your design tips!
Aw thank you so much for watching Moni! I appreciate the support and feedback 🙏🏻
Julie-this series is a master class in interior design! Thank you!!!
Thank you so much for watching Sigrid! So glad you’re enjoying it 🙏🏻
"If you love it, who care what anyone else thinks." Totally agree! I have a sunshine yellow accent wall in my office that I'm sure isn't everybody's taste, but that's the point! It's not for everybody - it's for me! 🌞
I’m sure it’s a burst of bright, beautiful energy for you Nick! 💛
I just recently covered my sofa in a banana yellow. I'm not sure of the colors for the two wing back side chairs. Any suggestions. I thought of black and white stripe or, peacock blue back and a neutral light color for the front.
👏👏👏👏
Exactly! I want visitors to feel comfortable in my home but I’m the one who needs to love it the most. It’s my place, it’s my temple! 🙌🏽
Hey Nick!

Thank you for watching Melanie! Always go with your gut and you’ll get it right every time 🙌🏻
The most important thing I learned from you was choosing paint color last. We made the mistake of choosing the accent wall color before the decorations and then I was disappointed when NOTHING in the stores matched it.
Now that you see how easy paint is to match, always leave it for last 🙌🏻
This was like a 6 month course compressed into 15 minutes. Thanks a ton!

Personally I don't like to wear a lot of colorful clothes but rather insert color into my shoes and accessories and it seems I apply the same logic to my interior design where all the surfaces and big pieces are pretty neutral and all the color is in the decor items. Works for me.
I love how you have mastered your game Jonna. Brilliant 🙌🏻
The way you made it clear and easy is just amazing thank a million
Thank you for watching Moore! So glad it made sense 👍🏻☺️
This was a very useful video, I’m enjoying a peacock blue sofa a big investment piece based on your series. Thanks for the vote of confidence
Sounds incredible 💙😍
These videos are so helpful! I am moving and these tips are amazing for figuring out how to set up our new space!
Awesome, thank you for watching Melissa! ☺️
This presentation was organized in such a way that anyone could comprehend what Julie was sharing with us. In a few months I am going to renovate my 20 year old master bath! For me, the undertaking is daunting. My worst design mistake was choosing a semi checkered pattern tile floor that was whit and beige in our kitchen. I had 3 children, a dog and a cat! What was I thinking! It was too light and I had to mop it almost everyday. A very costly mistake.
Thank you for watching Martha! Love the look of light floors, but yes, you see everything 🙈
Thanks Julie ! Well done . Love your series .
Thank you so much for watching Teri ☺️
Wow this is the best video I've watched for redecorating my home! Thank you so much. This is perfect !.
Thank you for watching Ranee! 🙏🏻☺️

Thank you for watching Guzel! 🙏🏻☺️
Julie I absolutely love your videos! I just moved into my new home and I having the hardest time with my color scheme and style. I absolutely love the color purple and I want to use it as a paint color. I’m so nervous that it will look to childish or too dark. But after watching your videos I’m no longer afraid to try what I like. Who cares what anyone thinks.
Exactly Charyss 🙌🏻 Try Pinterest to look for similar purple walls so you get an idea of what palette direction to go in for furniture and accessories 👍🏻
Thank you, have learned so much with your great advice.
Awesome Elvie, thank you for watching 😊
Loving this series currently building a house and picking colour schemes. Planning on a pastel blue (glass slipper by Benjamin Moore) for main living area as a cheerful uplift. My husband suggested a cognac loveseat which at first I thought would contrast too much but after watching this I think might be good balance.
Love how thought out this video was, Julie you are always full of the best information.
Thank you so much for watching Ellen! Sometimes all you need is an inspiration image to help make your decision 🙌🏻
Julie, you are truly inspirational! We'll be moving into our new home soon and can't wait to use some of your tips to style our home. I've just bought 2 large lion heads (Male and female) photographic prints in black and white. They face each other. Both lion heads boast crowns. The prints are mounted in shiny silver frames. These pictures are my inspiration for my open plan living room. Now to decide on the rest of the furniture and furnishings. Thank you for sharing your tips. It is truly appreciated x
Sounds majestic Ruth! The perfect statement art pieces to pull your room looks 👍🏻
I love your channel and how you break it down . I am loving this hair style on you
Thank you so much love! 😘
Hello Julie your series gives me ideas how to be happy with house arrangements. Keep inspiring people. Thank you
Awesome! So happy I can help, thank you for watching Jose Maria! 🙏🏻☺️
My fiancee and I just bought our first home and your videos have been an inspiration to me. These videos couldn't have came at a better time. ❤
Congratulations on the new home Bailey! Let the planning begin 🙌🏻🎉
The biggest mistake I have made is painting my bedroom in yellow!! At that I was going through a tough time and I was drawn to that colour to make me happy 😜 we had to change it after a while because it was too bright for a room where we want to relax at the end of the day.
Tints and tones make all the difference in the world! 😆💛
Yes its up!😍 I literally couldn't wait all week❤️ Thanks Julie! Your a great help! This video helped heaps! I was stuck with paint/colour glad your video came around just when I needed it!!!!!
Yay! Glad you found some useful tips Sum! 🙌🏻
Very insightful and I've learned how to utilize color palettes🤗🤗🤗🤗. I'm so excited as I embark in home renovations..
Awesome!! Thank you for watching Gena! 🙌🏻☺️
Really enjoying this series Julie.
Thank you so much for watching Lilian! 🙏🏻☺️
Love the tip: choose paint color last! Never heard that one before. How did I miss it??
Hi Julie - I absolutely love your videos. I am learning so much and it's helping me fix mistakes I made in my interior design choices. Only mistake I can't fix is the fact that I painted my walls first since it was the cheapest to start with. I will slowly choose new furniture pieces to go with the paint colors I fell in love with ❤.
It’s common to paint walls first, but if it’s neutral enough finding the right furniture can be less daunting. Happy shopping Nadege! Thank you for watching 🙏🏻☺️
Thanks for all the tips Julie much appreciated. 💖👋🇿🇦
Thank you so much for watching Lorraine! ☺️
Thank you for all this great information. I’m so enjoying your design sessions. I look forward to your posts.
Thank you so much for watching Cindy! 😊
I have lived in my house for twenty years and raised my two sons in the house which is about 45 years old. As a family- we have put a lot of wear and tear on the house. I am currently updating some critical things like windows, heating system, and roof. Those projects are just getting organized with contractors. I am now looking into refurbishing my kitchen and then the master bathroom. I also need to repaint the entire interior and update most of the flooring/carpeting. There are so many decisions and things to do, and I know it is going to be a process. I also want to get a new couch! Your videos have been very helpful!!!! Thank you!
Remember that it’s not a race to the finish line Frances, design should reflect your current needs first and your aesthetic second. You got this 🙌🏻☺️
Fifth video in and I love it! So helpful in helping people define what’s right for them as opposed to a cookie cutter method. Love your style too
Thank you for watching Joy! I appreciate you stopping by with feedback 🙏🏻☺️
Thanks for these videos they are awesome I am finally finishing decorating my family room and the other spaces in my home and have done it slowly to make sure I stay true to my style!
That’s the best way to do it Sunie! You’ll see your style evolve when you’re down to the last room 🙌🏻😍
This was so awesome, I always love your tips 💖
I love-love-love the color purple 💜 all shades, I made the mistake of painting my craft room/office a dark purple 🤦♀️, after a couple of weeks I realized I wasn't using that room at all.....it was hideous & depressing.
I still love my purple but now I use accent pieces and pillows. I will never do that again. Blessings 💖
Yes! You’ll still get the feel that way without full on committing! 🙌🏻
Love your dream space series, such an inspiration for a design student like myself. Thanks. Regards from Sydney, Australia.
Thank you for watching Jessica! Hope you got some good tips ☺️👍🏻
Orange is my favorite color but only use it to decorate for fall - your brake down of the orange palette has inspired me to use your series to create a new bedroom wish/dream board - I always look forward to and enjoy your creative ideas and the thought process of design
Thank you so much Sue! If you love the color, there’s so many ways to work it year round ☺️
Hi Julie I love your information on design and colour. I always have a problem choosing paint colour. I just love colour and it’s so easy to get carried away. The explanation you gave about how to interpret the colour chart was inspirational. Thank you. X
Awesome, so glad I can help. Check out my video on paint colors, I have a new one up on the channel now to match wood tones 👍🏻
Thank you Ms Julie👍, your videos are very informative. Like them very much👍
Thank you for watching 🙏🏻☺️
Julie is so khuul!! I love your vids. Thanks for all the tips and great content. 👍👍👍👍
Thank you so much for watching Seb! 🙏🏻☺️
Really appreciate this video. So helpful & educational.
Thank you for watching Natalie! 🙏🏻💕
... What a treat this Series is, ...Oh my. I am recentlysubscribed, so I'm catchingup, lol !
I have such a variety of colours ,in my lounge, but the dominant ones are deep red, various shades of greens, very soft " cream- yellow", even a shade of blue ...and these colours were pulled from a piece I purchased, a painted console ( purchased from a friend, I'd admired it from the moment I saw it in her home ) and it set the tone for the rug, pillows, throws and other design elements. The remaining pieces in my lounge are pretty much " neutral ", ( various shades of soft white/ crream/ chiffon, etc) so it makes this particular piece " the star of the show", lol. I chose a very soft subtle yellowish cream colour for the wall it sits against, and the other walls are soft cream. ..so I guess it's ' the focal wall" ... 😉🙂
Sounds fabulous! Everything coordinates when you start with an inspired piece Texas 👍🏻☺️
Thank u so much for your inspiring video..👍🏼..I think the biggest mistake I've made through the years is..following trends..what looks great in someone else's home may not be right for mine..I trust my gut more..and gravitate towards the colors and styles ..that reflect my own personality ..as far as colors go..I look to nature as an inspiration..if a room reads too cool ..I'll add warm wood tones ..such as a live edge table
plants etc..if the room reads too dark..I can change the mood of the room with warmer lighting etc..I do love to see .."what's in" I can mix things up...with cool accessories..that I love
Trends are great to test out new styles! The beauty is sometimes trends naturally become a part of our evolving aesthetic. The bad news is sometimes those lines get blurred and we can lose our style testing out so many. Sounds like you’ve got your foundation laid down Samantha, love it 🙌🏻
This was the BEST!!!! I feel equipped to select my colors. Thank you!!
Awesome! So glad you found some inspiration Victoria 🙌🏻
Love your hair, looks very polished and professional, but I love your hair long too. Long makes you look younger, this cut makes you look mature and glam.
Back to the color palettes!
Thank you for watching and commenting Elizabeth! I’m constantly trying new looks ☺️
I’ve been nonstop watching your videos! So soothing and I learn a lot! Hoping to see a video focused on black and white styles and how to make it classy or cozy! :)
Thank you for watching Louise! Check out decorating with black 🖤
Hi Khuu, I love your design tips. After I subscribed to your channel, I almost watched your every video. Love you ❤️
You’re awesome 🙌🏻 Thank you so much for your support Tutun!
Like your videos so much. Even though I am into the topic for nearly two years now, even now I am learning so many new things and perspectives about the "basics". Thank you and keep going.
Awesome Kevin, thank you for stopping by! 🙏🏻
Julie, I'm REALLY loving this series. I've been waiting patiently for this one. QUESTION: What do you do if you can't choose your wall color? Bought a previously owned house in excellent condition. But the livingroom main area is two stories. Its painted, including the ceiling, in a warm cafe au latte color which I like but the wooden floors are a similar color (2005 vibes) AND my leather furniture is also very similar color. It covers all of the common areas of the home. I like it but it's a bit too much for me now. I didn't choose the color but have to work with it bc it'll be too expensive right now to paint it . I love colors like greens and blues and some orange but really need something more calming. Sorry for the long post. Thanks
Since you have such a monochromatic space I would say try using accessories and wall art to draw interest. Source cool artwork, scour your local TJ Max and Marshals for interesting flower pots and use those to add a few plants in order to add that pop of green.
Great ideas 🙌🏻
You can layer color first with area rugs to define space and help give your floors/ sofas some definition. Then add more texture and color with curtains and drapery panels to help define the walls and windows. Have fun with accents, but if the walls read “warm”, cooler colors like blues and greens may fight it. Try muted shades like sage and powder blues for a calming effect Claude!
Love how you said, look at your wardrobe and decorate to what speaks to you, in so many words. It's funny but true, I love glamour but in my world, not many are that way. For instance my husband and his family. Everybody does constant casual no matter what. I think of the old tv show, Green Acres. :0
Hahah you do YOU!! 🙌🏻 I’m the same, way more extra than most of my friends and family, but I don’t let their casual nature rub off on me
I absolutely love your channel! I’m new & obsessed! By far the best content! I love the dining room table set @1:40 time stamp.
Thank you for watching and the support Shanyta 🙏🏻☺️
This is the video I've been looking for a long time. Thank you
Thank you so much for watching Adriana ☺️
Thanks for the series, please keep it up! I'm enjoying the episodes. :)
Thank you for watching 🙏🏻
I moved into an apartment without having any furniture. Although it's amazing having a blank space, it's also sooo overwhelming. I just don't know where to start :/
Looking for inspiration on pinterest I in fact chose one of your examples: the room with the matte black wall built-in. Love it. One of the only things I know is that I like dark colors and want my home to feel cozy and special, but not too designed.
Going to watch more of your videos...
Beautiful examples...I liked it so much I watched it a second time with the sound off to focus just on the color combinations. Your videos are superb for teaching decorating...wish I had had them when I was young..I had to learn whatever I know slowy over time from decorating books, art books and classes and trial and error...
Aw you’re the best Sybil! Thank you for watching and providing your insight 🙏🏻☺️
This is a great channel. I love your content and can’t wait to see the measure space/scale furniture episode coming up!
Can’t wait to share! Thank you for watching Elisa 🙏🏻☺️
Love it at usual with you channel, thank you!!!!❤
Thank you so much for watching Liset! ☺️
I love it!! Exactly what I need
Awesome Ingrid! 🙌🏻💕
You are definitely right about yellow. Our home had all mustard yellow walls when we moved in with medium toned hardwood floors… “Matchy Matchy”. We decided to tone down the wood by painting the walls a medium gray (Benjamin Moore - Whale Grey).
The cool gray will definitely tone down brassy hues Barry 👍🏻
Julie (I love so many things about you and your videos but I had to say) I simply LOVE that b&w jacket/sweater. It's sooooooo cute and looks great on you!!!
Thank you for watching Unmuzzled! It’s old from Anthropologie ☺️
Hello, I'm a new subscriber and in the process of getting my own home so will definitely be using your tips. Was never really a creative person so decorating and knowing what colors go well together is my weakness. I try watching house tours to see what layout, style, colors, etc really catch my eyes and go with something similar.
Yes, always save your inspiration looks to come up with a design plan Roxanne! It will help you stay focused 👍🏻
