Your short video had more good advise than all the other videos I have watched !! Thank you...
I agree!!
I bought a large white trunk to store my infant niece’s stuff in ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxNuLbiXpLQ-mKH5NlyjrNe88hiCk2N3Cg , as she comes to my house frequently. For now, it’s toys on one side and diapers, wipes, and other baby care items on the other. As she gets older, it will be all toys. I had originally wanted a trunk with a hinged lid, but I was afraid of her smashing or pinching her fingers in it. This will be a much safer option. The lid has great padding in it and it is actually nice to sit on. It feels very sturdy and secure. Looks like it can be wiped clean easily. If it gets abused by her, I won’t be terribly upset because I paid less than $50 for it on Prime Day.
Thank you so much it was a joy to watch you. You really seem to know what you’re doing and you’ve got a lovely energy about you. Feeling inspired ❤
This is amazing advice I would have never considered when looking for a new couch. When I look online at interior photos and how living rooms are set up then all your tips make sense and is very visually pleasing. Will 100% be keeping this in mind whil sofa hunting!!
Great! Glad it was helpful! Good luck!
Wow, this is excellent as a guide, and you have just inspired me to completely rethink my choice of a replacement sofa.
Thank you for blowing my mind😉
Thank you so much! I’m looking for the solution for sofa in small living room and you came up with the answer.
I’ve been through 3 sofas ( donated them ) in my tiny home and this video would have saved a lot of wasted time and trouble. I can’t find something that works for my space this was fantastic advice ! 🤦🏼♀️
We didnt knw this..
Thx olga😄💜
Good counsel on getting sofas with legs, narrower and shorter armrests. Thanks!
Thank you sooo much very helpful !! Now I know exactly what to look for!!
Very helpful as I live I. a 572 square ft. House! Keep em coming!
I just went through this and found that modular sofas that have a square corner are easier to fit in my small space. They usually have low backs and I could get the pieces armless to not waste space. HOWEVER this type ie. cloud sofas, are typically very low so I bought one and am putting legs on it so it’s not super low. Your right on here.
Thank you! You gave me extra good idea - legs for some furniture, to lift them up...we can buy legs and do all by ourselves🏆🤗
Le Courbusier 3-seater: long n lean. It's really a love seat but works as a sofa. The arms are relatively innocuous. A classic. Built like an elegant tank...easy to move.
Not only was this very helpful and timely, you look GORGEEEEEEOUS! :)
Pffff... how very sweet of you to say! Thank you for watching and I'm glad it was helpful!
Thank you very very much. Very helpful indeed. We are confronted with this problem at the moment. Would be great if you would also look at dining tables and chairs ... specially in an open space with open kitchen and living corner. Thank you again
So helpful!! Thanks!
This was so helpful thank you so much.
Great tips! Thank you.

No problem! Thanks for watching!
Wow very practical info and advice. Thank you for helping us who don’t have a mega house.
Love the video, It was very informative.
Can you help me a recliner problem?
My husband bought a recliner sofa and love seat and i feel it makes the room so heavy.
Whats the best way to arrange that type of furniture?
Thank you, that was very useful
Very useful.thank you
This video was very helpful.
Take a tape measure when looking for a sofa. Depth is very important. Some sofas are almost four feet deep; when dealing with a room that's ten feet wide that's huge. I had a camel back sofa that was very narrow but long enough to sleep on if needed.
mary hershelman sofas are *not* almost four feet deep! A deep sofa is typically 40” deep. Typically, 36” is about an average depth.
Thx😄💜
Good idea regarding the tape measure!
Thank you this was just the info I was looking for
Glad I could help! Thanks for watching!
Forget the sofas. I love that shirt!
Thank you! It's one of my faves! :)

Thanks for watching!
Hi Designchickee. I absolutely love the tips in this video. I am transforming my hallway into a tiny living room..the space for a large seating is 50 × 17..and cannot seem to find a sofa that fits that dimension. Can u offer any ideas or do u have any videos with tips?. Much thanks
Very informative.
Can you design a 3.9m by 3.5 m living room space? As an example. Thanks
OMG your touch and talent is right up my alley. I need someone to guide me as I update my house. The impetus was a bedroom fire in May of this year. Need so much input. Where are you located?
Loved the presentation and information.
Glad you liked it! Thanks for watching and commenting!
Very helpful
Can you recommend lighting design for small space, low ceiling?
I need help on a furniture layout. My living room is a weird shape and I’m not sure how to set things up.
Well, it's difficult to avoid buying small sofas/furniture, if you only have 1,7 m available for it (the space in the living room where it will be placed, and no, I can't put it elsewhere). Or maybe you want a small sofa, because of cost/placement/design and so on, a small sofa only looks weird if the room is big, if you have a small room, it will be similar to the rest of the objects in the room, but I'll remember the advice about the legs, I plan to change them, it will also add some height.
Thank you :)
Our room has walls comprised of a large picture window, a fireplace, the front door and an archway to a different room. I don`t want to cover the fireplace or have the seating area face away from the window. I chose to form a small gouping in the center of the room defined by a carpet, two chairs and a loveseat (with legs). My intent was to avoid a cramped feeling by having space to navigate around the area. How would having a sofa rather than a loveseat improve things? Enjoyed your video.
Please Give me some idea regarding the layout of small livingroom with multiple door.
Thank you 😊
You're welcome 😊
Me watching this having bought a huge sectional sofa and huge tv for my little living room 😂.
How do you like it so far
What about the picture u showed last week about a video coming soon on and asked to guess what’s it about ???
I need recommendations on where to purchase the furniture! I’m in a 776 sq ft apartment/condo and I’m so depressed because I can’t seem to find the right furniture that will fit and that looks good. I’m seeming a sleeper sofa so if I have guests they will have a place to sleep. Any suggestions are appreciated.
Very usefull
Glad you think so! Thanks for watching.
Any tip for a office space ?
Thank you

Love your videos! Could you do one on how to do a picture wall?
Thank you! Try this video... ua-cam.com/video/xZBderDYM7k/v-deo.html
Omg. You look like Fran Drescher😌
Thanks for the tips! :)
I have a dilemma though between getting a sofa with legs, or getting one with storage. Sofas with storage tend to look bulky (very short or no legs). I have a small living room so maximizing storage spaces is important for me, but making the room feel bigger (with low profile sofas) is equally important. Can you advise?
Look into King living Jasper type couches
A very informative video video. Thank you! When you have a sofa on legs and put some boxes or baskets underneath it since small spaces require extra storage solutions, would you say that the "lightness effect" would be eradicated?
No, not necessarily. But hopefully the boxes aren't so obvious! :)
You all prolly dont care at all but does anybody know of a trick to log back into an instagram account..?
I was dumb lost the login password. I would love any help you can offer me.
@Edgar Randy Instablaster :)
@Drake Stetson Thanks for your reply. I found the site thru google and I'm trying it out now.
Seems to take a while so I will reply here later with my results.
@Drake Stetson It did the trick and I finally got access to my account again. I'm so happy:D

So no chesterfield sofa for a 195 square feet room ?
Hello there, love your vlogs. I have a tiling question, 😊
Yes? What's your question?
Hi, thanks for responding. I found a solution. Keep up the good work
Can I send you a pic of a stone I bought so you can help me identify on instagram
Great tips! I completely agree.
Small suggestion for your videos: put your camera higher and/our your chin down. You head looks so tilted backwards... Somehow it distracts a bit.
Current dilemma. I want to use hardwood in our custom build home. However I want to use porcelain “wood like” material in the kitchen, mudroom, and bathrooms. Seems to be difficult to match these 2 materials. Any tips you can offer? I am tempted to just drop the idea of going hardwood. only stick to porcelain plank flooring.
Small bedroom ideas
Chair & a half good for you... plus a cat
No sofa design could be seen clearly on the screen its blocked by the captions of the description spoken....
You can turn captions off temporarily... I don't have control over how large the captions are as they are auto-generated by UA-cam. Thanks for watching.
Not suitable for big heavy men. Those skinny legs will snap in a couple of days.
Thank you 😊
You're welcome 😊
