      I agree with this. My living room looked like a picture in a magazine. So many compliments. The furniture was high end but uncomfortable after an hour or so. After several years I realized we needed to change it. The furniture we had held up very well and showed little wear and tear. But I was determined. A local store was going out of business so we
      went " just to look" (😉).
      We bought a large sectional . It's been a year and has endured much use but still looks new. We miss the pretty room but this suits our family much better.

    All good tips. I'm old and I have a lot of stuff. Plus my husband and I are both artists. So what to do with an overabundance of stuff we've created and collected? My solution is to change up the art and decor each season. This has really worked for us. This allows the art and decor to have some room to breath and shine. We gain a whole new appreciation of each piece. If you see the same stuff all the time you become blind to it. This way we don't have a cluttered space and we can still enjoy our treasures. ❤

    I’ve had all white dishes and casserole dishes, tureens, ramekins forever, lol. I love them! Not only because they look nice, but because I love to cook. I want the focus to be on the food, its mix of colors and texture, not on the dishes with designs on them, which to me, distract and obscure the presentation of the food. Just my humble opinion and preference 😊

    I definitely agree with the no cupholders for furniture. I know that things look cleaner to have all white, matching, or glass for your dishes; however, unless you are planning on renting your home, I really like to have mismatched mugs. When I travel, I usually pick up a souvenir mug, and just using it in the morning gives me a feeling of nostalgia for that place I have visited. Great ideas.

      Patterned and colored plates are fine, but they just don’t look elegant or upscale, which is what this video is about. They look funky and “eclectic,” as you said. The reason upscale restaurants, hotels, and cooking shows typically use all-white dinnerware is that it keeps the focus on the food being served on them. Museum walls and frame mattings are white to keep the focus on the art itself - same principle.

      You might try quartering the items and cycling them throughout the year. I have a lot of stuff I love but even the best things can lose luster if they’re up all year round or if things are crowded. You may find you can honor the items even more when you purposefully redesign your home with them for a season each year.

      I also have white sheers with the grommets in my living room and they elevate my space. I don’t have anything against curtains without them (in fact, I have some without the grommets framing my bathtub and they look equally as nice) I just don’t feel the need to replace the panels I have because they look just fine . I like the way they hang and imo the still look luxurious. So I think it’s a personal preference as well. For me it just came down to the lengths that I needed and what was both available and cost effective at the time.

    I’ve slept in a double bed with a king size blanket and it was NOT comfortable. It was too much blanket and pulled down on my body all night because it was too much weight on me and dragged on the floor a lot. I think a double bed should have a queen size blanket at the most.

I also admit that I no longer strive to achieve a designer look --the goal is to create warm, clean & tidy so that we & any guests may feel at ease & welcome in our home.

    We have grommet curtains in our dining area. We specifically chose grommet as opposed to custom because we wanted the space to feel more contemporary and not too formal.

I love a mounted tv over a beautiful fireplace mantle.. they even have tvs now that look like mirrors until you turn them on. I rarely use the tv, but when I do I set a YT scenescape/wallpaper for ambiance/art. Another way to class up your bathroom is to use 2 long curtains on your shower.. gives it that luxurious spa vibe.

I have always decorated over the years with color, often very strong colors like hunter green, burgundy, and plum. You are right on target when you noted it was best to work in lighter shades of those strong colors, or using other complementary colors. That creates an attractive flow and balance. Just using one, bold color as an accent and nothing else is too harsh; it lacks sophistication. 😂

      @@Prieze868 Yes, and how much fabric there is. Grommet-style curtains tend to have big waves and less of them, so they tend to look sparse...like if you pulled them closed, there wouldn't be enough fabric to cover the window...or they would be stretched out flat so it would look like you hung a sheet over the window lol.
      That's the ones I've seen in people's homes. More of a decoration than an actual functional curtain.
      I think if they're done right--with plenty of fabric, they can look lovely, but your average person doesn't seem to do that.

      I agree. Grommets with the right curtain rod adds interest. It took me a long time to try them. Once I did I love them. I do tend to buy more than needed because I love the fullness of any curtain.

    I think not having a tv in the corner of a room might be difficult for a lot of UK homes! 😁 I don't do any of the other stuff & it's good to reiterate the need for having different tones of a colour, or palette - much more pleasing than one colour repeated as an accent x

    I agree with NO GROMMETS. Unfortunately I've trouble finding ready made curtains, without them, available on a budget, and they are usually only 84" which about 5 inches too short. Suggestions as to where to shop for curtains?

      Can you lower your curtain brackets and put up a complimentary valance, hung at the correct height and long enough to cover the top of the curtains?

    My quick fix for the curtains with grommets is to hang them upside down, so the curtain rod goes through it. It looks much better already. I still need to trim off the grommets and re-hem them, but for now the grommets are acting as weights, and helping them hang very nicely. Eventually I need to replace them because they are not hung high enough, but thanks for the suggestion!

    I hung curtains with grommets in 2014, and they looked nice for that point in time. Now I have no curtains/drapes in any of my windows. My bedrooms and bathrooms have Hunter Douglas pleated shades. My windows are trimmed in very nice millwork framing, so it looks complete.

    Great video!! I will put many of the gems that you have dropped to good use. You are spot on with the grommet curtains. They look stock and stiff. They do come in great colors and designs but they don't curve like non-grommet curtains do and I can't stand them circles. I also agree with the overload of using one color too much. Pairing and having fluidity in your color scheme will give you an elegant look.

    I've been purchasing Dowan products for years and have several of their bowls. My favorite is the ribbed bowls (2/pk) but i don't think i've purchased anything from them that i don't love. Their white dishes are all consistent in color and are neutral. There's no OBVIOUS blue, yellow, or gray undertones...more like a creamy white. Think BM Simply White which has a very very slight undertone of yellow but reads white. Hope this description helps.
