Did you ever considered making a course? I would definitely be interested in that. Your explanations are easy to understand and they feel more rational than others.
Great video. What can I do with my curtains as I have a radiator right below the window. I would like long curtains, but it will block heat.
Can't get past the title. Things like "How to make your house look expensive" and "things that make your house look cheap" and the like…. like yeah, that's what matters, how expensive it looks. Not comfort or looking good, but the oh horror of horrors idea of looking "cheap" to others. What does it even mean? A cheap item can look great and an expensive one can look really bad. An expensive item can also be very uncomfortable.
Here's another thing, IKEA stuff looks unfinished. It probably is. Maybe buying proper furniture would make things not "look cheap".
you are like a pro at this
Love your content
Small changes can make a big difference, turning a design blunder into a stylish and functional space. Watching this content might give us more options that is new and updated suggestion. πβ¨
I only found you recently but I'm really enjoying what you have to say, as well as the calm and compassionate way in which you speak π Thank you! I'm about to downsize from a massive 1-bedroom to a studio apartment that's about a third of the space, and the biggest lesson for me so far is that I should slow down and not rush into buying things or styling my home all at once. I'm going to revisit each of your videos once I'm in the new place to think through all aspects of the space.
Great video – where did you buy your bedside table lamp from? Looks great
Short curtains sometimes are kind of mandatory, my electric heaters are fixed to the wall right below the windows, long curtains are a fire hazard π
Very thoughtful video. Thank you, Reynard!
OMG, please come tell my mom to stop all the matchy matchy madness. If the walls are robin egg blue then ALL of the decor has be the same shade. The cushions, the curtains, the rug, the towels, the bedding…. It's sickening.
Curtains that are long don't work for my home because I have radiators under the window
Well done and thank you.
I can watch your videos all day long and listen to your explanations…
Best wishes
Thank you for this video! I always enjoy listening to your advice. Your videos are very aesthetic, too!
Thank yo so much for posting videos I actually learn and helps me creating a better space as I like, but I have a problem an I hope you can make a video about small shared bedroom that I found super hard to design without looking overwhelming . and thank you .
I cringe when I see dining tables on a rug. All that dropped food, crumbs, and spills!!! Yuk
Can you do a video on βtips on designing/decorating a studio/bachelor apartment β ππΎ
Hey Reynard, where can I find that wall light (around 43 seconds into the video)?
What if I have my bed is placed underneath my window? Should I still follow that curtain rule?
