I just wish as you’re talking about these rooms, that you show those rooms longer while you’re talking about them. It’s hard to get a good look when you only show it for a few seconds at a time. 😊 And more close up on your tablet while you’re drawing on it. But LOVE your content. Thank you so much ! So very helpful 😊
Absolutely. Well, you know, she's teaching, but she doesn't want to give all the techniques up, so she waffles, but she doesn't give... not the first time.
Definitely second this! I had to pause and zoom so many times to get the sense of what she was saying… Rebecca, you could do something like a screen recording of your iPad and then have that dropped in as an overlay in the video at the right times… I’m not explaining that particularly well but hopefully you’ll know what I mean and will either have seen other content creators doing something similar to get an idea!
I would add a comment not about design but about your content creation. It would have been better to put the pictures of the room on full screen as you were talking about them. They were featured so quickly and then shown too small to see as you were holding the iPad.
As much as I adore your design projects Rebecca, I have to say that these videos with people’s homes are my absolute favorite. It helps me understand your design rules, and puts them into practical use right away. Just love it!
You crack me up as probably the only person who routinely rearranges the furniture in a hotel room ...because it bugs you when not correct! You are 100% right and an amazing teacher. I wish I had a fraction of your energy!
@@MarilynDean-i5b that’s great news. Thank you for letting me know my efforts are helping you. That’s exactly why I do what I do. Made my day my friend 😉 RR
I love this but it’s hard to follow along on your small screen and using your finger… maybe zoom into the image and use the pen to point and draw to make it easier to see? Overall love this series, hearing the ideas is a huge help 😊
I really like that you work with and enhance what people already have, and aren't just about promoting the latest trend. So refreshing to see in any media.
Thank you to all of the people who shared photos of their homes! It really helps us understand the design concepts with real life examples. [I have a hunch that the hotel room furniture was placed that way to help the cleaning staff clean around the room. I like how your simple changes made such a difference.]
I wasn’t planning to…but after this episode I rearranged my lounge room furniture 😀 A difficult room to furnish, which I’ve struggled with for years (long / skinny / no symmetry at all / too many doors). Main problem (apart from the symmetry issue) is that it is hard to achieve a conversation area. I had furniture against the wall, everything facing the TV or cabinets on one side. I’m finally happy with my arrangement, and we can still watch TV and face one another to chat. Thank you ❤
My husband and I just watched this episode. We thought ,Let's just see....moved the couch 7 inches to center it infront of the window....You are right! Not even kidding. The entire room feels better!! Thank you for your excellent pointers!!
These are the MOST helpful videos! Most of us don't have a limitless budget to buy gorgeous new pieces, so we're working with what we have. So much of design seems to be placement, so seeing "real" people's homes is incredibly beneficial.
Oh, Rebecca, I just love this series! You are such a brilliant designer and to have you go over these tips is like inviting you into all of our homes. So much priceless information. I look forward to the updated video every week.
Hi Rebecca! Thank you for featuring our home, and for the suggestions. I will take your advice by removing the bulky bookcase from the front entrance and finding two pieces for either side of dining room window. It is a small space, so the pieces would have to be tall and sort of narrow. I did not show the other side of our home which includes the den. It looks pretty fab in my opinion, hence didn’t show. 😊 I will send pics to you when finished! Again, I love you and wish all the best for you and yours ❤
I love to tweak furniture arrangements. Actually ‘adjusted’ the furnishings in a hotel suite once. Nothing major, but a sofa table was crowding the space, so it got moved to a wall, and the sofa moved back 18 inches for breathing space between the coffee table and tv armoire. Much better. YOUR examples are much more enlightening.
YES!!! I am NOT the only person in the world who rearranges hotel furniture (or Vrbo home stays) to create better balance and flow! My husband thinks I’m a psycho but I cannot relax when things are not balanced, or do not make sense to room flow. *siiiigh* I feel vindicated. 😂
Reminds me of when I was staying in a hotel and noticed how awkwardly placed the patio furniture was around the pool, very uninviting. So I rearranged all of the furniture and it looked so much more inviting and comfortable! lol
Your critique of these rooms and advice is great, but I wish you would show a close up to the camera so we really get to see the room, or a mock up of the before and after.
I’m new to your channel and really liking it so far! One suggestion: zoom in closer to your tablet while you’re drawing in your changes. I want to see exactly what you’re doing!
You are the best Rebecca. And God bless my husband for never saying anything about me constantly rearranging and changing things in our home 🤣🤣 because now I have even MORE ideas
It would be really neat to see you design a room from flea market, facebook market stuff. So many of us do it, but we’re not very good at it. YOU WOULD DO IT FABULOUSLY.
First time seeing your channel. I like your calm, poised voice. The concept of showing subscribers’ volunteered home pictures for critiquing is very interesting! Perhaps if we could see what you are actually doing on the screen (screen recording) when you mention ‘adding a chair here and adding chair there’, it would be more satisfying than just seeing your hand move over the screen. Will be back! 😉
Great content. Love the information that you shared. Not a fan of the ipad. It was too small to really see what you were talking about. More close up would have been better. Liked the single shots of the rooms. You look great! Keep it up. Your longest running fan....
I like this series. I just wish you had some rendering software & video capture to better show the changes you suggest. Most people do have a hard time imagining a space - hence staging homes for sale - so a render means they have to imagine less.
Love your Informative shows. How about shows for Downsizering Retirees, Elderly seniors or handicapped persons. Open non cluddered floor plans, Ease in ways to still live and function and be in their homes.
Please bring back the print photos and sharpies. You can still keep the Ipad though 😅. Great video, but could not see the photos on the Ipad very clearly. Priceless tips, thank you Rebeca!❤
This video on furniture arrangement was a revelation, offering practical insights and clever tips that completely transformed the layout of my living space, creating a more functional and visually appealing environment. The presenter's expertise and clear visual demonstrations made the entire process a breeze, and I'm thrilled with the results. Many thanks.
Wow! What a great series, love it! I too love the matching furniture opposite each other. So funny that not too long ago many people said that that was the wrong thing to do by having matching pieces. I’ve always been a big fan of symmetry and think that it gives an upscale look. Please keep this series.
Omg, I’m loving 🥰 these episodes!!!! Very INSTRUCTIONAL videos, who would’ve thought that the simplest things, like placement make such a difference! Well done Rebecca, well done 👍 😉
I'm liking this series. It's amazing how the little things make a big impact. I recently got rid of a loveseat in my living room. I don't miss it. I did have it in a "U"shape though. I tore one of the cushions, so it had to go. My apartment is about 560 square feet. The funny thing is over a year ago... my neighbor came over and she asked me if my apartment was bigger than hers, lol. Furniture placement can make a room look bigger.
I have a small space, as well! But, as many have noted, many of the same design rules still apply! I too, live in a small apartment, and am in the process of exchanging a large, heavy bed frame I now have, for a smaller bed frame - with no headboard. ( Even though I like the large bed frame's style, the space would look better when I downsize to a smaller, more modern frame. )
Hi I love this video. But I really wish you could show the rooms full screen instead of on the tablet. It leaves much to be desired visually. Other than that, I learned so much and I hope you do more videos like this.
I love watching these videos Rebecca. After many years of doing so, I really do look at my own home and place things better. I too love Symmetry. I think even sometimes just moving furniture around makes it feel new .even bits from other rooms . Colour coordinated rooms too. I have so many friends I think must be colour blind they buy things they like and not necessarily that go even with their decor. I dont say anything though. I would not dare ….. 😂
Great feedback to the viewers sending pictures. Can't wait to see the updated looks. Loving your shirt Rebecca! You have the best black + white collection on the internet!
This is too much fun and so helpful! Going to take you up on your suggestion, Rebecca and move my furniture to the middle of the room and away from the wall! Will send new pics!! Francesca
Interior designing can be so overwhelming to the point that you can't consider some important things anymore and one way to omit mistakes is being updated with this kinds of tips and recommendations. 💯😉
This was such a helpful video. I wish I could have seen your tablet blown up a little more. Often your hand was blocking the photo when you were showing the changes you suggested. Thanks to everyone who submitted photos.
Hi Rebecca really liked your vidéo and explanation just one thing you often hide the screen of your tablet with your hands or the picture is too far to see cant wait to see your other videos thanks alot
An extraordinary revelation, illuminating the path towards creating irresistibly enchanting spaces. Your wisdom and guidance have bestowed upon us a treasure trove of inspiration, empowering us to wield the magic of design and transform our rooms into captivating abodes. Our heartfelt gratitude for this invaluable gift of knowledge! ❤❤❤
I love Rebecca so much!!! I have a huge corner fireplace with bay windows and low ceilings. My home was built in the 80”s and it is so hard to decorate. I would love it if you would make a video about furniture placement with corner fireplaces.
I learn new design tips from every one of your videos! you have such a cute personality and wonderful talent for decorating. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
Rebecca this was very helpful. Have you ever thought about creating a decorating book. Showing all your works and ideas, especially in your home and at Christmas time. I'm sure its a great deal of work but I would buy it.
This video is phenomenal and desperately needed to show people how simple changes can make a huge impact. I would LOVE to see a video series on how to decorate a bookshelf or built-ins to make the most impact.
You are a phenomenal decorator interior and exterior designer. It's always a pleasure to watch the outcome of your decorating always simply beautiful thanks for sharing with us all.
I have decorating training but it still amazes me that some of these things aren't just common sense. I see soooo many homes with glaring decor mistakes, like art hung WAY too high, that I have to wonder what the heck people were thinking, lol.
Hello Rebecca. Really enjoy watching your videos. Can you do a video on furniture placement in a round or circular living room? How do you achieve symmetry in a space like that?
Thank you for sharing your knowledge. Can you use your pen instead of your finger when pointing to something on your IPad? When you use your finger, your hand is hiding the photo.
I'm enjoying these videos. Thank you so much for sharing your expertise. And, thank you to your viewers who are sharing their photos with you of their home. Looking forward to more videos.
Watching this video was an eye-opening experience, as it expertly highlighted common errors I never realized I was making in arranging my furniture. kudos madam
Love your video it's really speaks to me. When I was in a new home more big I didn't understand why it was so cold... even with color ... I needed more furniture ... all rooms was empty
It's interesting that most people have large homes, and rooms. IMHO, if you're entertaining, especially. business clients, and/ or you have a large, extended family, all that space makes no sense. What people are paying for is to impress their social/ economic circles, but are paying much higher taxes. And putting a lot of stress on themselves. 🏆That said, many of the rooms are very nice. And as some others have noted, I'm glad that they DO have the economic means to be able to buy what they want. Also, whatever means some of us do not have, these videos are extremely educational and all these suggestions are applicable to any home situation, small or large; expensive or humble! I have a very small apartment, and look at many of these small spaces tips in many other channel's videos and gather many very interesting ideas. I'm inspired to change a lot around my small apartment! 💞
Can you keep the room pic up maybe screen on screen so we can see the furniture and where it should be placed? It’s so hard to see your vision from a 9” iPad and afar on your lap.
It was such fun to see you adjust..adapt the rooms to improve them without great expense. Would you do a video on window treatments and what you do, sources? Fun video Rebecca. Thanks!
Rebecca, you are so talented. Please consider using a stylus or your index finger alone to point or draw on the screen. Because your nails are extremely long, you must point/tap with your hand and finger almost horizontal, which takes up much more room on the screen than pointing more vertically with an index finer ending in a medium or short fingernail. Consider also being filmed from the left so that your hand won’t block the photo on the screen quite so much.
Thank you! great suggestions and WHY to do something. Thank you. I always learn so very much from you. Have a great day. Love the hotel example you did. Good job.
I absolutely love all your videos. I've watched your content for years with the makeover Mondays 😂. I would love to see a furniture placement or space planning for smaller rooms ( 15x15 or 10x 10 ft rooms) I find I'm so challenged with smaller rooms, especially when it's a full house. Again thank you for all of this
This my intro video to you! I’m hooked! After watching this, I rearranged living room furniture - at 8 p.m. - on a work night. It looks so much better.
Once again, thank you, Rebecca! So much good information! I'm getting ready to paint my bedroom; something I've never done before. I have a good idea what I want to do in it. I sold the bedroom set I had because it was too big, too much...and it's all your fault!!❤ 😂
I am in that process, too! I love this bed frame I have (a divorce prompted a move) and while I appreciate the large, heavy bed frame i now have, I realize its scale is just too large for the space! I am in the process of choosing a bed frame which does not overwhelm the small bedroom I have. Good luck - and have fun!
If you are not doing the Design Sessions... you should. I'm considered very low income. They are affordable and worth every penny. And I love Rebecca for that. She put my dream within reach. I was chosen to be on my church's decorating committee. I got to pick the carpet and the wall colors. I was terrified to be honest but it turned out terrific. I didn't get paid anything. But my joy is overhearing people say how nice it looks.
Ooh! I love you Rebecca! I stumbled upon this channel and now I'm hooked! Thank you, now I seem to analyze furniture everywhere I go, but first my house. Ciao!
🏅Brilliant Rebecca as always. Finding the right balance and central point of any room makes a huge difference. Can't wait to start my project using your save techniques
Design videos always show spaces that are separated from walkways. But so many of us have small rooms that have a walkway diagonal across it. This is common in apartments and older homes. So the walkway breaks up the room into two triangles, but the windows are always centered on the wall. I can never figure out how to put the furniture in the corners when it just looks out of place not centered to the windows. I’ve lived in over 8 different places that have this same problem! Please do a video on how to place furniture when a walkway goes through a space. And another about how to place furniture if it has to be placed off-center from the windows. Many of us don’t live in huge grand homes with living rooms that are giant squares or rectangles! Especially people in apartments. Furniture shoved up against the wall looks bad but there is often nothing else that seems possible to do.
When we rent a house at the beach,my daughter and I like to talk about furniture placement! Sometimes we move it too😉 My daughter is a interior designer too😀
Love, love these videos and thanks to a few years of watching every tv show about decoration, a huge collection of magazines and about a 1000 hours of renos in my homes and my friends homes I almost( in every picture )could see the "issue", not like you of course but these years with my passion for decor have helped...your home is amazing and I am so happy you are back after that terrible storm, looking forward next week and next video, stay safe.
Thanks for your videos ! Everything you show us looks like real life for me 😁 not just to rich people. Thanks because with your help we can have a beautiful and balance decor in our houses 😄 too 🥰😉
Totally agree on ALL suggestions! (yes, interior designer for over 20 yrs). My personal fave, of course, was your own "single-chair layout" on the diagonal. Luv! ;) Am thinking that us from your own home. BRAVO, encor!! Ciao...
I just wish as you’re talking about these rooms, that you show those rooms longer while you’re talking about them. It’s hard to get a good look when you only show it for a few seconds at a time. 😊
And more close up on your tablet while you’re drawing on it. But LOVE your content. Thank you so much ! So very helpful 😊
Yeah, this
Absolutely. Well, you know, she's teaching, but she doesn't want to give all the techniques up, so she waffles, but she doesn't give... not the first time.

Love that you use actual home photos to illustrate how to correct our mistakes to which we can all relate. Thanks.
Love your channel. You are helping me to finish what I have going in the right direction.
@@MarilynDean-i5b that’s great news. Thank you for letting me know my efforts are helping you. That’s exactly why I do what I do.
Made my day my friend 😉 RR
I love this but it’s hard to follow along on your small screen and using your finger… maybe zoom into the image and use the pen to point and draw to make it easier to see? Overall love this series, hearing the ideas is a huge help 😊
I agree. Her ideas deserve to be the focus otherwise it becomes what not to do. Positive vs negative approach.
Love your posts rebecca 💕
Would be great to see you display these pics on a big screen so we can see it better 😊
Love your inspirational work, but was hard to see the new arrangements on your pad.
Or even the original rooms. So it made the teaching pretty useless, since you had no idea what she was waffling on about.
Loved this. Please do more but can you work on showing the pictures longer and closer up? Thanks!
I really like that you work with and enhance what people already have, and aren't just about promoting the latest trend. So refreshing to see in any media.

I love when you look at viewers’ homes and offer constructive criticism. That’s what we’re here for - to learn.
I love this Rebecca! Many thanks for all who shared their spaces to get your professional opinion on what to do to make their spaces look amazing!

You don't have to buy new if you can find used or gently used at local shops.
@@camis.1347 I've never been able to find anything worthwhile in that regard. I have the worst luck!
Such a wonderful way of showing all of us what we can do to make our rooms more attractive. Thank you to everyone who sent in pictures!

Where you purchase items from makes no difference to the guidelines for design.... buy things you love, arrange them to enhance your space...
She did a collab with the Design on a Dime channel and did something just like that 😊! You should check it out.

So appreciate these topics! Small changes usually with no to little cost are so helpful and help us not feel so design challenged!

I love your videos. This one made me desperate to see some of the images closer so I could get the idea.
Large area rugs define an area as well and give it a “base”. These ideas are wonderful!!!!! I am now studying my rooms….

What people are paying for is to impress their social/ economic circles, but are paying much higher taxes. And putting a lot of stress on themselves.
🏆That said, many of the rooms are very nice. And as some others have noted, I'm glad that they DO have the economic means to be able to buy what they want.
Also, whatever means some of us do not have, these videos are extremely educational and all these suggestions are applicable to any home situation, small or large; expensive or humble!
I have a very small apartment, and look at many of these small spaces tips in many other channel's videos and gather many very interesting ideas. I'm inspired to change a lot around my small apartment! 💞
I’m glad that you tell people what they can do on your video.
Can you keep the room pic up maybe screen on screen so we can see the furniture and where it should be placed? It’s so hard to see your vision from a 9” iPad and afar on your lap.
It was such fun to see you adjust..adapt the rooms to improve them without great expense. Would you do a video on window treatments and what you do, sources? Fun video Rebecca. Thanks!
I just found you. Made some great notes, I'm redoing my whole house.
Thank you for the tips/tricks!!!
Rebecca, you are so talented. Please consider using a stylus or your index finger alone to point or draw on the screen. Because your nails are extremely long, you must point/tap with your hand and finger almost horizontal, which takes up much more room on the screen than pointing more vertically with an index finer ending in a medium or short fingernail.
Consider also being filmed from the left so that your hand won’t block the photo on the screen quite so much.
I meant to type “finger,” not “finer.”
Some of those homes are getting a twofer, rug advice and furniture! Reminds me of fix it Fridays
Grace of your video I've saved money by no need buy furniture but just by moving them. Thanks
Thank you! great suggestions and WHY to do something. Thank you. I always learn so very much from you. Have a great day. Love the hotel example you did. Good job.
I would love for Ms. Becky to put her "Back" into it, Lol! She's one of the Best in the Biz!
This was so helpful. Thank you. My rooms are small, but I think I can try the tips you gave us.
I absolutely love all your videos. I've watched your content for years with the makeover Mondays 😂.
I would love to see a furniture placement or space planning for smaller rooms ( 15x15 or 10x 10 ft rooms) I find I'm so challenged with smaller rooms, especially when it's a full house.
Again thank you for all of this
This my intro video to you! I’m hooked! After watching this, I rearranged living room furniture - at 8 p.m. - on a work night. It looks so much better.
Once again, thank you, Rebecca! So much good information! I'm getting ready to paint my bedroom; something I've never done before. I have a good idea what I want to do in it. I sold the bedroom set I had because it was too big, too much...and it's all your fault!!❤ 😂
I am in that process, too! I love this bed frame I have (a divorce prompted a move) and while I appreciate the large, heavy bed frame i now have, I realize its scale is just too large for the space! I am in the process of choosing a bed frame which does not overwhelm the small bedroom I have.
Good luck - and have fun!
I wish I could afford you to design my home 😢
If you are not doing the Design Sessions... you should. I'm considered very low income. They are affordable and worth every penny. And I love Rebecca for that.
She put my dream within reach.
I was chosen to be on my church's decorating committee. I got to pick the carpet and the wall colors. I was terrified to be honest but it turned out terrific. I didn't get paid anything. But my joy is overhearing people say how nice it looks.
Me tooooo 😢😢😢
Don't we all 😢
Same here 😢
@@marysmith861 what an amazing honor. Thank you for sharing.
It was amazing to see how just a little tweaking completely changed the hotel room at the end
Would be cool if you are able to show your ipad on your big screen for better viewing. Love your designs.
Ooh! I love you Rebecca! I stumbled upon this channel and now I'm hooked! Thank you, now I seem to analyze furniture everywhere I go, but first my house. Ciao!
Awesome explanations using existing rooms. I love it! Thank you for making this video!!
🏅Brilliant Rebecca as always. Finding the right balance and central point of any room makes a huge difference.
Can't wait to start my project using your save techniques
I love these videos!!!! You teach us so much how to love our homes and enjoy them more!!!!
Design videos always show spaces that are separated from walkways. But so many of us have small rooms that have a walkway diagonal across it. This is common in apartments and older homes. So the walkway breaks up the room into two triangles, but the windows are always centered on the wall. I can never figure out how to put the furniture in the corners when it just looks out of place not centered to the windows. I’ve lived in over 8 different places that have this same problem! Please do a video on how to place furniture when a walkway goes through a space. And another about how to place furniture if it has to be placed off-center from the windows. Many of us don’t live in huge grand homes with living rooms that are giant squares or rectangles! Especially people in apartments. Furniture shoved up against the wall looks bad but there is often nothing else that seems possible to do.
I have been waiting for these type of videos like you used to do !!! Love it!!
When we rent a house at the beach,my daughter and I like to talk about furniture placement! Sometimes we move it too😉 My daughter is a interior designer too😀
Love, love these videos and thanks to a few years of watching every tv show about decoration, a huge collection of magazines and about a 1000 hours of renos in my homes and my friends homes I almost( in every picture )could see the "issue", not like you of course but these years with my passion for decor have helped...your home is amazing and I am so happy you are back after that terrible storm, looking forward next week and next video, stay safe.
You are very generous with your time and knowledge.
Love your design concepts! So glad we got to see you for a moment without your glasses. You have beautiful eyes!
Thanks for your videos ! Everything you show us looks like real life for me 😁 not just to rich people. Thanks because with your help we can have a beautiful and balance decor in our houses 😄 too 🥰😉
Totally agree on ALL suggestions! (yes, interior designer for over 20 yrs).
My personal fave, of course, was your own "single-chair layout" on the diagonal. Luv! ;)
Am thinking that us from your own home.
BRAVO, encor!! Ciao...
