Happy New Year everyone!! 🥳🥂✨ Hope you all had a fun holiday break- now it’s time we reclaim our homes this year and give it the love it deserves 🏡
Tell me, if money wasn’t an issue- what’s the first room in your home you would remodel and why?
The kitchen. It's only about 13'x11.5' (not open). I use it the most of any room. It's on the north side (back side) of the home, which has the back door that opens to the back porch and backyard. I'd like to find a way to extend it all out for more space and open up the back door wall to feel more connected to my backyard bbq area. That is an extravagant dream. LoLoL! 😂
I actually would do an add on to the back of my house. What's in my mind to create would give me an extra bedroom and bathroom plus two offices and a sunroom.
Our main bedroom bath. We purchased our home 16 years ago and it still has the same cheap Lowe’s faucets, lighting and ugly characterless cultured white marble countertops. The shower is that low budget fiberglass. I hate our bathroom. 😢
I would add a small (10'x12') formal dining room onto my home to extend the current dining area. I love formal dining rooms and my home that I just bought this year has an "area."
I would increase the size of my Entertainment Room at the back of the house, that opens on to our back deck. I would love to add a library/reading area to the Room and a round card table for making puzzles, playing cards and chess.
❤️I’m a degreed and experienced designer, and find that most “designer” channels are simply nice decorating tips by people who have decent taste. But YOU my dear are clearly the real deal✨I love your insightful and concise videos. Thank you‼️❤️✨
TYSM 🙏🏻💖 Glad 18+ years in the industry taught me a thing or two 😉
I follow a number of very talented designers and you are the best. Your videos are so informative with critical basic knowledge, but your creativity and sense of fun is off the charts!
Aw thank you so much for your continued support Yakira! Happy new year 🎈🎆
@@JulieKhuuThank you so much! You are totally inspiring and amazing! I have been following your suggestions. Getting rid of a huge coffee table and possibly a big dining table! My space is small (10x12). I have an antique wicker back sofa with a matching arm chair and rocker that I inherited. Spent a lot to have them restored but they’re not even comfortable! Trying to decide whether to recover them with new fabric and chalk paint them or just get rid of them. Completely rearranged my entire living room with a focal wall. It already looks so much better!
Dear Julie, I love your bold decisions while creating a room with texture and depth. Love the glossy style!
Minimalism is very boring to me. Life is short, play around.
You definitely deserve millions of subscribers for all of the knowledge that you have been putting out on your design channe Julie. 😍🥰💯
That’s the plan Michelle! 🙌🏻Thank you for watching and continuing to support the channel! You’re the best!! 💖💕
5 years of Julie Khuu-intel boiled down to a single cable-TV episode. 🙌
Future video suggestion: Inspirations for a large, sunken “den” near foyer adjacent an open-concept great room. I could be more specific. 😉
Haha thanks for stopping by David! 🙌🏻🩷 It did take me an entire year to corral this list. I’ve already started this year’s list, let’s see how long it takes me to come up with 25 secrets that I’m willing to share 🤐😂
This video is like a treasure chest overflowing with designer gems. 25 pro tips, from layering rugs for instant texture (think cozy comfort!) to using unexpected accent colors for a playful pop, will have you transforming your space in no time.
Thank you for watching and weighing in Anna! 🩷
Love the idea of gold-lined shades in the master bedroom!
It’s sooo luxe! Gives off the warmest glow ✨
This was such a surprise! I feel like this has been one of the most unique design videos I've seen. I'm sure I'll be rewatching it a few times! Thank you, Julie!
Thank you for watching Diana, happy new year 🥳💖
@@JulieKhuu Happy New Year to you as well! Thanks for all the great content!
I can spend all day watching your videos, so instructive.
Thank you SO much, I appreciate your feedback and support 🙏🏻💕
You are amazing!!! I'm an architect and when I'm looking for inspiration on interior based projects, your channel is my first stop, Thank you!
Dive into the world of interior design with this video. The host's insights into color palettes, furniture placement and creative decor ideas provide a wealth of inspiration. It's like having a designer mentor guide you through the process of making your home look magazine-worthy.
Thank you for watching Effie, I appreciate the feedback and support 🙏🏻💖
This video spills the beans on 25 decorating secrets used by designers, giving viewers a backstage pass to elevate their home's aesthetic. The straightforward presentation and variety of tips make it easy for anyone to implement these designer tricks and make their space look chic on a budget.
Thank you for watching with thoughtful feedback Luis! Happy new year 🥳🙏🏻💕
This is decorating gold! I learned so much!
Hey Julie, not only you are an amazing, talented & epic designer, but you're a great speaker,
you simply captivate your audience. 💟Thanks for your videos
Aw Thank you for your kindness and support 🙏🏻💖😊
this has the best designing tips! Thank you. I painted my ceiling greyish blue and white walls because I have lots of windows and I think that's the best decision I have made.
Sounds lovely! I bet that blue feels like you’re looking up at the sky 😍
This video spilled the beans on some incredible designer secrets that completely changed the way I approach decorating. Learning about the strategic use of lighting and how it impacts a space was a game-changer, instantly elevating the look and feel of my home.
I spend the most on lighting when working on custom homes. If you can’t see the gorgeous design, what’s the point?!!😉
The way Julie said "Better" at 14:11 with so much gravitas somehow gave me confidence and boosted my self-esteem 😂
YOU GOT THIS!! 🙌🏻😄
Amazing! My creativity is sparkling, thank you 😁😁😁✨🌻🌳
ID LOVE TO SEE SMALL APARTMENT tips..and also tiny Senior Apts..ps slipper chairs are like posh little thrones for any age❤❤
I have over 10 episodes in a “Small Space Series”- check it out Beth! 💛
Love this, I already had some of these in mind, painting the doors, turning my boring wc glam/dramatic, moulding, huge wall art etc. I just don’t know how to go about these things! Esp as I’m on a budget
Loved that master bedroom redo with the faux beams and the uplighting. Gorgeous!
Thank you B! Check out the full home tour in my Modern Japandi custom home makeover 🤎

This decorating secrets is a must-watch! The tips are so simple yet make a huge difference. I appreciate how the designer breaks down the process, making it accessible for anyone looking to enhance their home decor.
Thank you so much Vera! Happy new year 🎆
This was your most thorough and thoughtful video by FAR! I love you, your design approach, and your ability to translate tips for. real life. Never stop.
Wow, thank you so much for the support and love Nelly 💞
Just watched this video and wow! The tips were so practical and easy to follow. My living room looks like it came straight out of a design magazine now!
That’s so awesome Sean! Let’s move onto the next room 👏🏻🙌🏻🎊
This video is like a master class. You covered so much! I'm amazed that you revealed many actual secrets that most don't ever explain. I also luv your attitude of respecting individual intention. Your pronunciation is so clear despite talking so fast to cover all the material.
I've reviewed quite a few videos, and I must say, your skill, attention to detail, even regarding complicated subjects like kitchen design. It was one of the first videos of yours that I saw. I rarely mess with kitchens, but was doodling a dream house. I remembered I needed a triangle, but couldn't remember the purportions of them. You have a heart for teaching. I really appreciate you. I'm sure these take time to prepare. And you are an active designer too. How do you find time for it all?
Another thing that impressed me was when I wanted to understand Feng Shui better, and your video came up in my search on that subject as well. You did a great job, as usual.
But best of all was after months of being disgusted with ithers butchering the Wabi Sabi and Japandi, you're one of the few who actually get it right. All in all, your my role model.
But here's a secret I need - what search engines do you use that finds chairs based on "liw back" or "high back", or "regency mirror", "Turkish rug", "vegetable dyed wool rug", etc?
And another tip, who were your first dozen clients? How did you get started? What are some of the tools that streamline your job for you? And what vlogging equipment would you recommend on a budget to start? I kive in a tropical jungle, literally, so I'll have to get something shipped but there's so many people here that could use a good designer! And none around. But you give me courage and inspiration to try.
Thank you so much for watching! I run a full service interior design studio ☺️ My fav online resource is Pinterest- always curated images and direct shopping links from detailed search terms like the ones you stated. Do as much pro bono work as you can to build your portfolio, friends and family are the most forgiving especially when they’re getting free services! Lol 😆
Built a new home, and took guidance from several of your videos. Glad to say it's all blending in so beautifully while keeping your suggestions and our South Asian heritage in check.
My tips don’t mean anything when you can’t apply them, love this! Thank you for stopping by with feedback, it’s encouraging 🙏🏻💕✨
@@JulieKhuu I'll tag you in the pictures once the finishing is done and we have moved. Keep up the good work! Love from Lahore, Pakistan
The tips on mixing patterns and textures without creating chaos were so practical and easy to implement. I never realized how much attention to detail designers put into creating a cohesive and visually stunning room until watching this eye-opening video.
Once you start to dissect a well-designed room you’re inspired by, you will notice there’s so many layers and details to the design. I hope my channel opens your mind to different and exciting styles you may not have ever thought of before Ruby 🤗✨
Just love you Julie. You help me soooo much. TY ✌🏼
Happy new year! I love the idea of cleaning and organizing at the first of the year vs spring. I usually deep clean and organize in the spring, mostly because of the "spring cleaning" rituals my family practiced. But winter makes more sense to me now, and I'm usually overwhelmed in the spring with outdoor landscaping and decor. Do you have any outdoor or spring time rituals? Or outdoor decor for decks or patios? I'm planning to do something with my deck this spring. I have plants, hopefully they'll survive the winter, fingers crossed. 😊
I have an entire outdoor design playlist, check it out for more inspiration! Thank you so much for watching and commenting 🙏🏻☺️💕
Great info. I would remodel my living room. It's basically the garage that still has the sloped floor. We bought it from someone who built a fireplace in the not-quite-converted room. It was to be our starter home and we've been in it for 30 years and have lots of great memories in that garage! Lol
I love that! 😄 Finally converted my garage into a dedicated design studio after 8 years of living here. It’s never too late to reclaim our spaces Greenie 🙌🏻
I love your content Julie! I just found your site and the detail you provide on styling is so useful. You Rock! Could you share where you purchased the multi globe light fixture in your powder room? Thank you so much. The art work you hung in your powder room is stunning. Im so excited!
Thank you Janet! It’s from Lamps Plus, I linked the actual fixture in the guest bathroom renovation video ☺️
Unfortunately the furniture shown won't work for most downsizing seniors. Love to see some ideas for us !
Do let me know what your challenges are Debra! I’d love to address this in a future video 🙏🏻☺️
Fantastic advice! I especially loved the last one. So many people try to make their homes exactly match a beautiful picture they like and forget to make the room a part of their “home”. Each room should tell others a little bit about yourself. Place that out of place item that is all about you and that stiff room becomes a part of YOUR home. Great advice for all of us. Thank you!
Use inspiration images to help guide your design, but the best spaces are the ones we truly personalize Glenda 🙌🏻☺️💖 thank you for watching!
I love all of the visuals that you show as you talk through the points!
I know y’all need visuals to understand the concepts- helps immensely when we’re trying to figure out our own spaces 🤗
You’re the best, by the way. Grateful for all that you share!
Thank you for watching! Happy new year 🤗🥂✨
Once again Julie you hit it out of the park! I am always so inspired by your ideas, tricks and tips. Amazing ❤
Thanks so much Cindy! Happy New Year 🎊🎆
I love, love, love, color drenching!
Gimme more color in 2024!!! 🙌🏻🥳
One of my favorite videos of yours. Such great information!
Wow, thank you Crystal, I appreciate the support 🤗💕
I don't know where to start. Most of your secrets are new ideas for me. I plan to implement them when I start updating my home within the next few months. I have a lot of planning to do and will refer to this video. Thank you so much!!
Start with my dream space series! A step-by-step planning guide when you’re ready to invest in your space 🤗

Thank you so much for watching Joshua! 🙏🏻
I learned a lot .Thank you
Thank you for watching 💕
Thank you for so much information! I am particularly excited because I have solved a molding dilemma, which has been troubling me. I live in a basement apartment where the door opens right into the living space. My style was once defined as “country contemporary”, which I find fitting! I lean more modern, and have since become more cottage than country. I have what I consider tall ceilings for the first time ever, at nine feet. I really wanted wall molding, but it all seemed too “cottagey” to me. Today I had my “That’s it!” moment. In the applied molding section of the video, the very first image is what I want! Just simple great big boxes. The walls in my space are all broken up by doors, openings, windows, a weird floor to ceiling niche, (maybe for a “future” fireplace chimney?? It was a once a single family dwelling.), a jut out niche; so it is already divided into boxes. I’m excited! Thank you for sharing your knowledge,Julie. And kudos to your staff for all the support they provide in helping all of your videos to be so visually appealing
Yay, awesome Jeanne Marie! Once you’re ready to take the plunge, look for more “board & batten” inspiration- that might help you devise a strategy for the molding “boxes” 🙌🏻
Julie happy new year 🎉
I wish you and your family an amazing 2024
Thanks for your content always a privilege to watch you talking about design
Ahh that amazing bedroom from your previous project just my style
I love the idea of low pictures and frame
🥰🥰🥰🥰thank you so much ❤❤❤
Happy new year Flavia! Thank you for all the good vibes always 🥳🥂💫💕
Thank you , 😍I wish one day you can help me design my house! Happy New year to you and your family!
Thank you so much! Happy new year! 🥳🎊💖
Thanks Julie ❤ I really appreciate how hard you work to make these videos so great. And I really really appreciate how, even when I write a despairing comment about a feng shui design dilemma, you don’t ignore it and worry about it harshing the mellow of your comment thread, but just respond with positive upbeat suggestions 🤗🤗🤗 That’s the sign of a true genius and good person. Your enthusiasm is infectious 🤩 Wishing you, your family and business the ultimate joy and success in 2024 🍾🥂
Thank you so much Honey! I’m here to help, always 🤗 Feng Shui can be challenging in unfavorable conditions, but remember that there’s a “cure” for everything! 🙌🏻✨
💗thank you!
Thank you for watching JG 🙏🏻☺️
Thank you - in movies, novelas with beautiful homes, they have a window showing outside landscape but I think it’s a beautiful banner or for me, a picture/ painting of some landscape to give u an open lush look. You are so efficient and classy.
I just picked up a huge landscape art piece that’s sitting in my bedroom now. I look at that piece more than I look outside to my garden it’s so fabulous Lina! 😍 You’re onto something 🙌🏻🩷
@@JulieKhuu would love to see it- thanks
You are one of my favorites Julie ! I loved this video but I usually do love all of your videos! Thank you for sharing your knowledge. You daughters are adorable! ❤
Thank you so much Julie! They’re growing up too dang fast! 🥹🫶🏻
Awww Julie! How DO you do it? Once again this video is chock FULL of great practical advice- thank you! I’m a budding interior designer as a new career and you inspire me soooo much! Happy New Year!
Thank you so much for watching! Happy new year!!🎆
Loved this video
Thank you for watching, happy new year! 🎊🥳
Great video!👍❤️
Thank you for watching 🤗
Really informative and fun video! Thanks Julie 😎
Glad you enjoyed it Cherie! Happy new year 🥳🎊
Happy New Year!@@JulieKhuu
Lovvvvveeeee all this deliciousness Julie!!!! Great video!!! I’ve never considered high gloss interior doors!!! Watching your channel and others has propelled me to take up an Interior Decorator course and start doing what I love for fun (Keeping my surgery job of course), but would love to decorate model homes and just have fun and be creative. You’re one of the more talented, creative, and inspiring designers on YT!!!
Fun is the name of the game Jo!! 🙌🏻 Decorating as a side hustle will definitely balance out the super meticulous skilled day job 🏥 it’s not that far off 😂
@@JulieKhuu Omg!!! You're absolutely right they're not that far off!!!! 🤣🤣🤣
Very nice ideas!!!
Thank you Nina, happy new year! 🎆🎊😊
Excellent video. 👍🏼
Thank you so much for watching 🙏🏻💕
Happy New Year to you and your family too! As always I enjoyed your video! Excellent content! I love the idea of painting the interior doors high gloss black and the walls, ceilings and base boards all the same color. When doing this,what color should the door jam and trim be? Thank you for sharing. 😊
Door jamb and trim can match the baseboards if you want the door to stand out. If not, I would paint the casing/trim same color as the door to add girth
Always wondered how to fit in a power chair ( game of throne chair for eg ) ...and still maintain visual continuity and harmony
You don’t. This becomes a statement chair and should be hailed for all its glory 🙇🏻♀️🌟
Great!!
Thank you for watching Mavis ✨💕
You give me hope
You got this love! I’m here if you need help 🤗💕
I accidentally did what Julie recommended and purchased my living room rug first for my color palette. Yay! (can't take credit for it - it just worked that way)
That is awesome! You’ve been manifesting a clear design strategy all along! 🙌🏻😄
thank you!!!
Thank you for watching 🙏🏻☺️
Juliee, yoU have such a great feng shui assistant, same with your feng shui for your outfits and presentation. I was wondering where do you shop too? Lots of love xoxxoxkxk
