      @@AboutBritney Design styles are used as a formal way to communicate a particular composition of interiors or architecture and its based in reference to cultural movements in the world of art, design and architecture. Aestetics are more like subcultures within a particular design style. Dark Academia is not an interior design style, it is a sub category of traditional design.

    Please please please do Spanish revival style (more Spanish than generic Mediterranean). It’s my favorite and I don’t see a lot of influencers who showcase it. I love the beautiful woods, ceramics, terracotta, iron, ugh so beautiful.

    I love that you failed in the bedroom makeover. Not because you failed duh. But because you were so honest about it and thats how your channel came up to me. You should do a “things not to do” or “mistakes to avoid” when doing a room makeover video.
    The “i dont have another diy in me” really resonated with me, its honestly so much work!
    Looking forward to your actual makeover♥️

    I would say my style now is Southern traditional. Similar to traditional in the comfy, cozy sense, but with a lighter color palette that reflects the warmer climate in the South. I can appreciate the draw to organic modern and Scandi with its calming effect, but for me personally it comes across as...dull. I'm all for a neutral base, but I need color as well so it doesn't become boring. Really enjoying your videos! Arlene

    I don't want to pick a typical design style. They are too theme-y for my taste. I don't want a designer home because I don't find them homey or inviting. My design style can be summed up as "me." You would probably call my personal style "collected."

    • @katie7748

      Depending on your personal style, it might simply be boho, shabby chic, or some other already well-established style, as many styles incorporate the "collected" aspect.
      That said, if you really don't want to pigeonhole yourself with a label, then don't 😊

    Hi Becca! I really appreciate that you don't repeat the same cliche topics as other UA-camrs. That's why I'm hoping you could do a sensible video on lighting design. While we all know the basic rules, many people, including myself, still struggle to create stunning lighting that serves all functions at home.
    The challenge I'm facing is how to balance a classic style with sufficient, functional lighting that adapts to changes in daylight, without relying on ceiling fixtures, which I dislike.
    In my first apartment, I've experimented with RGBW LED strips on open shelving between my kitchen and living room, which looks fabulous and is programmed to adjust throughout the day. I also use RGBW bulbs in the bedroom for a sunrise effect, along with blackout curtains, so I can wake up at desired time, same for all year round.
    I went with classic ceiling lighting in the offices and the living room, and it turned out awful, made the rooms look shorter; in the living room the bulbs had to be decorative so it's just one bright tone (it's useful, like twice a year).. In the office despite having 3 hue bulbs it's still not enough lighting. In the living room, for the bright light usually I use strong LEDs for my curtains, it's enough for 99% time. There's additional lighting and the shelves so that's mostly used in the evenings.
    So, I'm struggling to create strong, evenly distributed lighting that isn't creepy or mismatched with a classic aesthetic. I've thought about it so many times and went through so many standard possibilities.... Recessed lights, in particular, look awful and don't fit with classical styles, which is another challenge. I tried to come up with something with LED stripes that would be hidden somehow, but that's not easy to find affordable RGBWs that would be bright enough. I even considered molding that can hide a strip, that would illuminate a white ceiling... This is especially difficult in rooms like the bathroom, where dark walls make it even harder. While I use a Philips Hue flush mount in one bathroom, which is functional and adaptable to different times of day, it's far from aesthetically pleasing. With LED strips, to get the strong light and at the same time atmospheric light, I guess you'd have to use 2 strips alternatively, or buy a lot of them and hide them behind some kind of diffuser. I was even thinking if there are stretched ceilings that could diffuse the light and just make a "bright ceiling" effect, looking like a normal matte ceiling during the day but this might come out very cheap looking. Same as my brilliant idea to use recessed lights but DIY them to resemble 4-legged stars haha Still researching the reflected lights (on the ceiling, or in the mirrors).
    Could you offer some advice or create content around achieving strong, stylish lighting that works for various needs and classical styles? Do you have any creative ideas how to tackle that, or know anyone else who'd talk about this? I'm looking for lighting solutions that maximize elasticity in their use, like I mentioned switching between bright and evening lights. And how to get the perfect lighting for makeup that doesn't look like crap in a vintage home. I've always decorated my spaces similarly to what you'd call dark academia, not that rich, a bit simpler, but same foundation. You're totally right that scattered dimmed lighting works, but it works for aesthetics... not for all lifestyle cases:D
    Thank you!

    By the way, I don't think a lot of people have dark homes. Personally I don't know anyone, except for myself. People were TERRIFIED when I was describing what I did. They'd visit me for the first time with their jaws dropped and saying "I could never....". But then usually while coming out, they'd say it's very soothing , cozy and they feel really relaxed 😉And usually men say "I'd love to have it this way in my home but my wife would never let me" LOL. I thought mostly girls were the Harry Potter / gothic fandom.
    I find more AI-generated inspirations on pinterest than in real life, besides people who have the courage to go all dark probably get a little bit more interested in the interior design, so they'd share. I'm still looking for more brick-color living rooms in my style... I have to make collages and photomanipulations :D

Simple lines, minimal decor but not minimalist because it's too boring and depressing. My living room has some blue in the curtains, rug, art and throw pillows.
