Taking requests here for videos in this series! "INTERIOR DESIGN for [XYZ persona]"
For example, so far I've done:
...for hot, sexy bachelors
...for when you're depressed
...for chaotic people
Love doing this series and would love to hear requests that you haven't seen anyone else really address!
Interior design for people scared of risks and obsessed with resale value. This is my dad. I was helping him with paint colours and he didn’t like anything. Too bright, too bland, too dark. I asked what his style was, he said “practical”. Every decision is about cost, practically and resale. All good things but when you don’t take design into consideration it doesn’t end up looking good.
Interior design for non-creatives [I'm more analytical than creative, so some 'rules' would work]
I love this idea! Also this staged home but with something still special, so we don’t feel like we live in a Magazine while selling our home. I know we have to remove the photos of ourselves, our family photos and our quotation mark personal tchotchkes quotation mark But would love to still have something beautiful
Interior design for students with no money and no sense of self
Oh we need one for broke college students - like me!
INTERIOR DESIGN for the wanna-be minimalist : for those who have and love their stuff, but also don’t want to be aware of how much of it they have
We should call that wannabe minimalist style “denialist style”
Ugh YES
@@freudulantlove it
word
THIS
Decorating for introverts! People who enjoy their own company and spend the most time in their homes
AHHH THIS WAS ON MY LIST
Oooh! The video I didn't know I needed!
Ooh I would love this
ESPECIALLY if you're a gamer...🤔😁👍🏻
Interior design for :
- exhausted young parents (with kid's mess)
- couples with different tastes and have to compromise/balance
- people with no taste (cannot tell which goes with what). This could be a whole sub-series like "retro design/ modern design/ boheme design, etc for people with no taste"
I think Paige wassel has a video about mixing couple's different tastes
Seconding couples with very different tastes coming from the maximalist married to a borderline minimalist
Yes please: exhausted parents- can it also touch on how after you have kids you have a mini identity crisis?
@@holosapiens I remember a TV show of couples moving in together and having to blend very different styles. They got to veto a number of items that were VERY important that they got to keep no questions, and a few "would like to keep" items as well, and they could list a few MUST go items for their partners. A designer would then compare the lists to see what could go, and kept all the important items, and usually was able to create a cohesive home.
Why do I fall under all 3 😂😂😂
Caroline, can we have INTERIOR DESIGN FOR RENTERS WITH WHITE WALLS (who can't paint them)? Your home is a lovely example of this, and I've learned so much from your renovations, but I'd love to see your best tips in a video like this one. Thanks for all of your tips along the way! ❤
Yes please THIS 😊
I once heard someone say, "Don't be afraid to paint your walls, because they're never going to give you that deposit back anyway." I think that's wonderful advice, but that's just me; If it's going to freak you out the whole time, then it's not worth it, obviously.
Sometimes I've been surprised to get the deposit back just from painting a coat of kilz over it before leaving, and other times they've simply deducted about what the primer and a couple drop cloths would've cost me.
Don't forget you can also call the landlord and say you'd like to upgrade the hardware/light fixture/whatever and see what they say. Sometimes they'll say okay cool, send me the receipt and you can deduct it from your rent.
Just a couple thoughts. You know your situation best of course.
Yes! Yes! Yes!
Interoir design for indecisive people!!
BAH oh this one gets at the heart of so many people's problems. this could be great
Kinda related, maybe a chapter of this video. Interior design for people who can´t decide on just one style. Just speaking from my own love for variety and wanting to have at the same time a: moroccan/english countryside/call me by your name italian stone house-inspired home. How to decide? How to incorporate those different styles? How weird is it to focus on a different theme in each room? Would appreciate your thoughts!
@@MistyBrillianceyes!!!!!!!
Under the same umbrella: interior design for people with commitment issues! One of the reasons I can't use wallpaper :'(
Yes! When you want to get it done, but there's so many core decisions to make... flooring, large expensive pieces - those foundational components! So many pins... but no decisions made.
Video idea: Interior design or cheat codes for people who hate cleaning (gadgets, what pieces to avoid, your tips, idk). Thank you for this one!
love love! thank u for the recc!
@@Caroline_Winkler also for people who have pets ! For example, with 2 cats, I don't have to have a rug (because it would get destroyed) but then the rooms always feel too "bare" because there's nothing on the floor connecting the sofa to the coffee table for example
This would be so fun infused with Caroline's unique brand of no-nonsense, practicality, kindness, and humor!
while we're waiting ... I was looking for vids like Caroline's 'you're doing home organization wrong; and I enjoyed the tips in Clutterbug's 'how to fake a clean home' (that's also the only Clutterbug vid I've watched). Very different style and personality to Caroline; but solid suggestions (and a few repeats of Caroline's suggestions from her vid).
Ohhh loveeeee this idea! Yes please!
Interior design for indecisive people! Scared to take chances with design because you are scared you’ll get sick of it quick on a random Tuesday 😂
YES!
I'm 57, empty nester. I decided to embrace minimalism and got rid of things I didn't love anymore. Then I felt depressed by the lack of warmth in my home. Now I am curating vintage pieces that are intentional and make me happy. Facebook marketplace is my new best friend! The main problem is I like too many styles! From true vintage/antiques, to MCM, farm house, boho! How to incorporate all my styles cohesively?
Basically how to style a space/home with multiple styles. 🥴
i love that you just flipped and edited the thumbnail for your bachelors video for this thumbnail when its a video about busy bitches like thats lowkey genius
hahaha from one busy bitch to another. I wrapped editing this at 2am last night and COULD NOT BE BOTHERED to make a new thumbnail. please pray for its success
@@Caroline_Winkleri respect the ingenuity! so efficient! us busy bitches are changing the world with stuff like that!
Oh that's why I thought I'd seen it before.
@@Caroline_Winklerrepetition in thumbnails (especially for a series) can be genius. one might even think it was intentional 😉
That's what I say: something went a little kooky? Too tired to change it? It's a "design feature" 😂
omg I remember having ONE recessed cubby in my childhood home and i was obsessed with it. it felt so permanent and intentional
truly!! i think i never grew out of this childhood love. i love a nook, i love a niche. i just want everything to be protected and cozy
My favorite part of my favorite historic apartment in Denver had a little recessed phone nook?! The beauty and a perfect place for keys?! When my little grey kitty got into it!?!? Perfect.
@@Michelle-js5khthat sounds so lovely ♥️
I love to intentionality of “built in”. It’s meant to be there…specifically there, in that space.
I had two of these growing up and I loved them!
On the paintings being off center: in filmmaking and photography, the rule is that, when you use a grid, your subject belongs in one of the four corners around the innermost square, because that's where the viewer's eye is naturally drawn. Not the center... slightly off kilter. So that's the principle you've got going here :)
Mind blown. Idk why but I am 😂 ty for sharing that!!!
I know you hate boho….BUT it would be super fun to see you take on the challenge of designing a boho space that you actually DO LIKE. I love your taste in everything and I’d be curious to see what parts of that aesthetic you’d end up actually liking
Oh I LOVE THIS IDEA! Very underrated here!
I’ve NEVER seen a designer design something they actually hate while simultaneously trying to force themselves to find things in that category that may actually not repulse them in the end hahah
And with HER dry humor in general, this would be comedic and educational GOLD!
The recessing part had me howling. You are so good. So happy Wayfair saw your value...you are literally their best content and have the best comedic delivery!
you're a dang sweetheart for this. I am loving working with Wayfair, they are by far the most fun and best spirited brand I've ever had the chance to work with
I like to quantify my time as JennaMarbles once did: “I may literally have time for something, but I don’t actually have time for it in my brain”. I can be a busy bitch with all my neuroses firing off at once and I can be equally busy with a physically busy day. Love the video!!
This is my entire life summed up in one sentence!
I remember that girl. Whatever happened to her? Hope they’re still married
Carol, I think we all need a video on interior design and decoration of studio apartments!
Interior design for cool and starving artists' studio apartments.
hack for fringed rugs - I use a long strip of clear packing tape on the underside of the fringe, which really helps keep it in place! even my cat can't mess it up
This should be bumped further up, genius hack!
1- design for anxious people: calming environments, space to relax, sentimental items
2- design for ADHD people - similar concept, but an environment that helps you concentrate, relax, and systems that work. Many UA-cam videos similar to this topic already re: systems for ADHD people but I'm more interested in your take from a design perspective
Also center aligned is still css so you can't get away from it 😂 dev here
I second this
Yes! For ADHDers!
Yes!!
I just started learning coding and I had the exact same thought 😂
PLEASE!!!!!!!!
Idea: video for those with paralyzing perfectionism
My walls are mostly blank cuz I’m waiting for the perfect moment and the perfect stuff to put up
I put my paintings on the wall and my husband hangs them for me. I just put them up with not too much thought. One is especially asymmetrical. I'm going to mix mirrors with my art over my husband's dresser!
@princessdaaahlingamor5798 It's why I loved stickers as a kid but would get zero 'use' out of them 😭 I never could decide what to stick such a beautiful little picture onto!
Childhood memory triggered: It was one of my household chores to comb the rug fringe straight. 15:50
😂 Oh my gosh! That's such a great chore for a little kid! Thanks for the idea! I'm going to go make my daughter do that!!! 😂
haven't watched this one yet. just came to say that your advice of velvet hangers virtually changed my life. its ridiculously simple. but i am never ever annoyed about clothes falling down. they just stick to where I put them. I am an easily irritable person, and when the sh*t just falls down all the time i yell and don't pick it up because LIFE IS TOO SHORT. and later its a mess and it annoyes me even more.
one simple thing really saved me lots of rage and frustration. what you do is important. never doubt it.
Dark wood floors are the single worst decision I made when designing my home. They are truly the bane of my existence.
Why?
They show every single speck of dust, dog hair, dirt no matter how often you clean them.@@aallen6016
@@aallen6016 they show dust and hairs really badly
@chloro8306 And dog footprints! F'k! Everywhere, everyday. Makes me crazy.
Is light wood any better? Mine are medium, they look like oak or old pine.
I’m in my nursing program for the next two years and there’s not much more I can do for my tiny apartment…but my Sims are about to have the most gorgeous home in all of Newcrest.
The reason why a little bit off center decor pieces work - It works when it follows the principle of golden ratio/ Fibonacci scale, as long as the other elements are working into the same golden ratio pathway, even slightly is usually fine. It doesn't work in those instances when it's impossible to draw a fibonacci pattern parallel with other elements in the room
Interior design tips just for Caroline! I would love to see interior design tips that you randomly personally experienced.
omg this is wild. haha i really love the title concept. i have to think about WHAT THIS WOULD POSSIBLY MEAN. A+ on the originality for this one
@ anyone who already bought the fringe rug: I actually bought a fringed rug and then literally had a manic moment and sat with hair shears to trim it super short and tbh I loved it so much more than with the fringe bc it just had a cute little fuzzy edged
I love those manic moments. Life is too short to be dissatisfied LOL. also often it takes like five minutes and then I love it after.
I don’t know why I never thought to do that. I hate rug fringes (they catch pet hair, they’re annoying to vacuum, they stain really easily, etc.) and so I rule out any rugs that have them, but that massively cuts back on my rug selection. If I can just trim the fringe, then that makes rug shopping way easier.
The interior design when you are depressed was a great one! I actually do a lot of what you had suggested. Especially when seasons change. Maybe a follow up? Or how to deal with holiday decor when you don't want to do it this year! 😢 I think of the folks who might have recently lost a loved one.
I don’t know if it’s the hair or cardigan but Caroline you are looking absolutely STUNNING!!
These are great. You’re an absolute gem.
How about doing an episode for someone who lives with a (minor) hoarder?
Or how to incorporate heirlooms into your own style when they don’t match?
Or how to pick and choose between keeping heirlooms and not letting your home become an antique store…
I wish I could like this comment more than once, because you just basically described my living situation. I hope she does an episode on this!
Oooh YES. I have a family heirloom chaise with the beautiful original 1800s fabric chartreuse jacquard fabric. It doesn’t work anywhere in my 1br apt and I don’t sit on it or allow the pets on it… So it’s always just taking up space wherever I live- but I love it 😢
The stresses of sentimentality
Absolutely! In case she never does this video (but she should!!!), here are my tips. I live with a (minor) hoarder and my design style is Decorating with S@#t. 1) It is all in how you display it. The trick is to make it look intentional. Lean into it. Look at maximal design inspiration -- bookcases stacked and crammed with books and objects. Gallery walls. Group like objects together and make them look like a little collection. Keep all of this s@#t corraled to a single wall, corner or space. Let the rest of the room be as simple as possible. 2) Cool containers are your friend. Leather suitcases, large baskets with hinged lids, those decorative cardboard photoboxes. Stack 'em high! 3) Must have furniture -- really tall narrow dresser with lots of drawers, rolltop desk, trunks as a coffee table and endtables/nightstands, hope chest (it's a bench seat AND a storage container).
OMG you unlocked a core childhood memory of me sitting on the living-room floor of our friends house (three old Scottish sisters who lived together) and I would sit on the floor and de-tangle their rug fringe for hours… it was both satisfying and frustrating cause we would never visit long enough that I could de-tangle the whole thing!
Interior design for crafters would be fantastic! So many of us have… more craft supplies than design in our homes, haha.
I love that so many commenters here want to see design for indecisive people! I'm one of them!
I just can't decide if I want to go vintage or ultra-science-fiction modern. Do I want empty, calm spaces or lots of fluffy, cosy things? Green or blue? Dark and moody or light and happy?
I love everything, so I end up with blarghagag anything spaces I don't like.
Help.
I don't know if you are a mid-century modern fan, but you might be able to achieve this look with that design style! Add in some colored or warm tiles, furniture, and/or art pieces with your fav cozy textures all while having a muted modern look! Maybe some "modern" pieces with warm-toned finishes as well.
@@nicholeiverson I'm not that much into this style, but I understand why you would propose it - it's perfectly in the middle of a modern to vintage scale. Thing is, middle is not what I want, but I can't decide the direction either. You gave me a very good hint though. Looking through pinterest boards of midcentury modern I noticed a lot of natural wood panels, especially on walls and ceilings. While that may look dated (growing up in post soviet part of the Europe I've seen a lot of that), it hits some nostalgia vibes and I think I would feel good in such space. Thanks, you helped me a lot :)
I’m the same. I’m phobic about people’s opinions, and when I am confronted with choices, it’s all about what would so-and-so say?. So I return or dump stuff I do buy, and my house is always half-empty and lugubrious. I don’t invite anyone over ever. About 2 months ago though, I had an epiphany when reading a book about interior decoration with NO PICTURES-it was mostly centered on psychology-and so inspiring! Something clicked and I decided to honor my roots-my family is French and I grew up in the USA speaking French. (Still do.) For some deep, dark, unarticulated reason, I always felt the need to reject this heritage. So that’s where I’m headed now: my own version of French traditional/country, which is nothing like it’s portrayed in matchy/matchy furniture sets. It’s finally all making sense now because I have an integrated view of what I am and want. So, maybe part of the solution for indecisiveness lies in the calm acceptance of one’s roots and personality.
@@ladycactus110 Maybe. It's a nice thought.
Officially giving a stranger’s permission to do a completely different style in every room 💙 also if you need to combine styles, separating the room into architecture vs furniture vs accessories really helps. Lots of people combine traditional architectural features (molding, fireplace mantles, fixtures, flooring can be changed) with more generic modern furniture and then bold choices for art/accessories
One of my chores as a kid was combing the fringe on a few of my parents inherited wool rugs! Laughing at you mentioning it here, I strongly echo Caroline's recommendation to rethink it. Really great video! All these tips are very applicable, creative, and useful!
hahah ok, so i will amend my prior statement. Unless you love untangling fringe OR have free small child labor available to do it for you....you may want to proceed with caution
Woah! This is so wild! I can’t believe I wasn’t the only one. Just posted how it was one of my childhood chores too! 😂
@@slavatoth6617 haha I love that! It's very nice to relate in a very specific way :)
We had to rake the shag carpet 😂
Roomba or any strong vacuum actually will chew those fringes up!!!!
So happy finding you online a year ago. Always speaking to my soul
gonna kiss ya for this one
Would love to see 1. "Interior design for the IG addicts" - a video on curation of accent items and decoration: How little is too little, how much is too much? How and when to swap out something for the new trendy thing? and 2. "Interior design cheat codes for broke folks" - How to hide ugly items in plain sight, e.g. wifi router or that kitchen appliance that you use all the time or the pills that you forget to take if you don't see the package (and no phone reminders aren't working for me xD), when you can't afford the super fancy nicely-designed/packaged expensive alternative.
Omg I've just redone my kitchen - we went with a gorgeous stone slab floor and IKEA everything else and it totally looks custom and special - thank you for validating my choices😂
I've never been more excited to be living through a recession
my thoughts exactly
Interior design for pet people - cute pet decor and how to incorporate good design while including your pets.
Yes, please! Cat trees do not always fit in with decor. There has to be a way to blend in our needs with the needs of our little helpers
As someone with a bachelors degree still renting a room from my parents, I think a really useful topic would be interior design for grown-ups. How to make a room that doesn’t have a teenage bedroom/college dorm vibe. Advice would be much appreciated. Love your channel!
Video I'd love to see:
-interior design for even the ugliest rental kitchens/bathrooms
-interior design if you're handy - or just broke ; )
-interior design that sparks joy
-interior design for millenial grandma's (give me the flowered quilts)
❤
Yes for ugly rentals and broke people design! As someone who is only starting to live alone in questionable apartments that would be so handy
Haha I love the term questionable. Really accurate to some of the spaces you find for rent 😬
Yesss! Dark horrible blah forever “great rooms” with No natural light/ juxtaposed with bright light bedrooms with invading bright light and outside street-level energy. Low income apts in other words. Try to practice gratitude, but interiorly we are wilting and rotting
**Zero** storage space… so overflowing laundry rooms and doorways used for hanging items.. minimalism is the ticket but zero is the energy to purge it all.
Okay! I just bought a flowered quilt and my teen said my room looked like grandma. But I love it, and I don't care 🌺
Love your hair. You’re right, little things can really mess with your mind. The older I get, the more I like light wood. My favorite floors are cork! Easy to keep clean and easy on your feet and legs. But I’m old. I like comfort best.
You taught me a lot today, thanks.
Cork flooring! I worked for a podiatrist and he said floors are made of hard materials and that is too hard on our bodies. Good to know a cork floor is an option.
I have a checkerboard cork in my kitchen/dining room and OH, do I Love it so!
This is an amazing idea!!!
You are so right about the dark countertops! 😂😢
"Sometimes it's just the way you kook out!" Permission to kook out is always appreciated!
I love your videos❤ Suggestion: Interior Design for couples/ opposite design personas. In other words, Interior Design for when you HAVE to collaborate lol
I used to really dislike the photos my roommate wanted to put in our shared living room.
Now I live with my boyfriend who has a pipe collection- I repeat, a pipe collection 😅
I actually laughed out loud when I read about the pipe collection. Girl... 🤣 And that's coming from a girl whose boyfriend has a cable collection! And I don't mean as a functional-I have a cable for every situation collection. No, no, no... It's an exhibition in our living room. So, sending my condolences, as a fellow why-do-i-have-to-live-like-this girl.
Thats called a duplex
@@missSuperAnnie a cable collection, oh my oh my 🤣🫢🫶
Ģreat idea, hope there's a video for that in the pipeline, LOL. Sorry couldn't help myself. 😊
@debralegge8513 I'd love that, we can hope haha 🤞🤞
"INTERIOR DESIGN for Animal Lovers"
Problem's to overcome:
- Hairs or feathers everywhere
- Stinky litterboxes that need changing regularly
- Food station (somehow there is always food on the wall after a meal)
- Clawboards or clawed up furniture
- Bed and Sleep area
- Play area (all the cat and dog toy's, and sometimes even dead birds or mice,
somehow allways accumulate under the livingroom couch...
even if the animal is to big to go under it!)
I love how you aggressively be a good friend that teaches the art of interior ❤
Thank you, God, for Caroline. She truly makes the world a better, brighter place. 🙏🏼❤
She finishes this with “gettin loopy”. As though you already weren’t. The loopiness is my favorite part!
I absolutely LOVE the recess piece. ANYTHING built in is my favorite and I think it immediately makes the home feel more cozy and more inviting because “omg the house has a built in wardrobe I don’t need to worry abt buying an armoire. It’s so cute”
I get a feeling that I’m “nestling” when I put things off center…. I find that when I do it I’m either nestling it into a corner (like your picture in the bathroom) or nestling objects together into a little vignette. Also, I never knew another person who shares the same manic energy for recessed/built-in shelves as me. It’s naturally occurring design!! 🫨
oo i love this concept. the art of NESTLING! that's a whole design kink on it's own
@@Caroline_Winkler”nestle some shit” - Caroline, one day probably
@@Cheesyenchilady 😂
I never get tired of your fun interior design content. But I’m not loving the fuzzy mic that you have to hold. Your hands are so much a part of your expressiveness- both of ‘em!
I appreciate your calling being in your kitchen a “visit”
Interior design that has personality and style, but won't make your partner break up with you
hahaha not sure i have answers for this one 🫣
I needed this video! Busy homeschooling mom of 6, but I still want my house to look classy. ❤️ You are so right about all the recessed things. My house was built in the 1940's, and has this adorable recessed bookcase in the living room, and that is easily one of the best features of the house--I get so many compliments on it. Love your videos, Caroline!
The recessed cubbies got me rolling😂. My old townhouse had these up two flights of stairs. I placed red roses in them for every party. Guest felt valued and celebrated. ❤️
I DO want my home to excite and delight me, dang it! Thank you!
i knew it
Oh good. I was hoping she wasn't talking to me when she said that!
Sister, that bang is GIVING!!!
You are so hilarious! From a way too busy gal, needing to watch some fun vids with practical home (everything) advice. You’re my new fave, thanks!
I love the new hair cut!! It's such a subtle change, but it makes your eyes POP! 😊
Never knew I needed the word “bespoke” in the cartooniest Ohio voice ever but thank you.
Also- great cheat codes I’m so sick of hearing about my damn rug sizes and hiding chords as ground breaking design tips.
HAHA, yes!!
The part about recessing just made me think of my parents' living room, with its beautiful recessed bookshelves . That room is the epitome of cozy. And this is now bringing up a bunch of sweet memories of that old farmhouse- thanks!
The recess rant was gold. Great tips.
the lipstick and cardigan colors are so good on you in this video!
Having a black stove also collects a lot of visual dust daily! As soon as I clean it, it looks dirty hours later.
Video Rec: interior design for the (region of the country) transplant. Or, you could just do a deep dive into regional design, etc. How it varies. I grew up in Cincinnati and fell in love with the East Coast (currently living in Baltimore), but sometimes it’s jarring to go back to the midwest and see what’s preferred there. Thanks for the laughs & tips! :)
Can we get some appreciation for the fancy hair 💕✨
Brilliant video! Thank you, Caroline! It's funny how I love your design videos despite the fact I am living in an airbnb perpetually moving (Europe/Mexico/US - and also I am from DC, so your videos are like "home-sick excursions back home") . I guess these videos are my medicine to help cope with lack of control over the space I live in. But of course it's your personality that is my go to always no matter the topic of a video.
When you talk about changing floors to what pleases you, I relate. My floors are one color on the 1st floor, and on the 2nd floor are all bright colors. I made my house to my liking downstairs it's for family visits and daily living. Upstairs, it's for fun colors kids pick their room colors and decor. It my house, if I liked it it's all it matters. You can tell a family lives there, but everything has a home too. Am so lazy some days and busy other day's it's a valance we all need😅. Love your videos, make me feel understood, and seen. You are original, and we all lover honest experiences that make us relate so much. Thank you for all your time and effort to make this channel work.
the absolute best attitude to have about design in your home :) i adore this, thank you
“Casserole of entertainment” that’s a great way to describe the Wayfair Channel. Love it.
Always appreciate your content as you are quirky and smart no matter the topic but today you hit it outta the park! I work as a housekeeper, have raised 4 kids and had pets and all your advice was spot-on!
absolutely agree on the bathroom/kitchen floor commentary.
I read this at first as "Busty B*tches" and I was like, "Okay, an interesting choice." 😂
hahahah adding it to the video recc list
Congratulations on your Wayfair videos that are doing *great* on their channel. You are the real talk interior queen and I love it
Yes to this new series! Kitchen next?
Interior Design for ADHD folks in a 350 s.f. studio, i.e., organization and micro-factories/assembly-lines for hobbies, musical instrument practicing, things like balancing your checkbook, ALL of which can and must be easily set-up and stored away to prevent visual overwhelmedness). Looking forward to it. I've really been enjoying your Iconic Objects videos on Wayfair's YT channel! Too fun!
I have a BUNCH of recessed walls in my small apartment and I must say it makes decorating so easy and FUN!
My family and I have just moved into an RV full time and to a new state. Busy is an understatement lol. At this point trying to stay sane. It’s been an adjustment but I would love Caroline to help me decorate this thing to make it feel more like home ❤ all your videos are amazing. Thank you for your presence on the internet. Such a breath of fresh air.
... and my high top older van interior. . .it literally looks like a hoarders rolling dumpster. 😢
I appreciate your keen sense of design and the consistent tidiness of your home. I believe creating a video showcasing your cleaning routine would be both enjoyable and informative! 😉
You are SO right about dark counter top! Avoid at ALL costs ! ALL costs!
You crack me up ❤ keep up the humor and tell it like it is !!!
Listening to Caroline explain dark counters vs. light counters in a home is giving Ian Malcolm explaing Chaos Theory so hard😂
I honestly love your interior design videos! They add so much value and are so fun to watch
I've been looking forward to watching this all day, and it's amazing!!!! I'm definitely going to employ the asymetrical art tip!
Your videos always feel like a lovely catch up with a treasured friend. I've loved this series, great advice mingled with comedic genius. My suggestion for another episode in the series is 'Interior Design for Indecisive People'... I'm a HUGE over thinker which leads to indecision and chronic procrastination resulting in rooms that are basically blank canvases. So any tips on how to create the scheme for a room would be very much appreciated.
"Uncles to text!" 😂
this was my favorite part of the video. i always wonder if someone else will pick the same part. thank u for seeing me.
@@Caroline_Winkler Ha ha --- that was a classic Caroline moment; live for those!!! 😉😅🤣‼️
Thank you, Caroline--I am here for the interior design tips!
I lost it at the recessing. Your videos give me life, thank you so much for making them.
about de recessed shelf or cabinet : it reminds me of the japanese "tokonoma", which is an alcove in the house where the family displays art, caligraphy or flower arrangement. I never though about having a recess in my own place, that's an idea!
I would love a video about cool furniture / homeware shops that are NOT thrifting / vintage shopping.
Ughh totally agree with the fringed rug
Okay, I am renovating a home and I was just thinking about the recessed cubbies rather than having to buy shelves and such....yessss! I'm so excited you mentioned it!
How about design or organization for the perfectionist? Love you, Caroline!❤
Love this vid!!! So original!! You are killing it at away fair. I love learning about random things.. the pink flamingo has been everywhere so it’s cool to see it origin!
Video Ideas:
Interior Design for the Cultured ( like if you like African, Indian, Japanese etc. design) without looking kitschy or corny when it’s NOT your culture
Interior Design for the neurotic
Interior Design for the overall girlie who wants a man’s man to feel comfortable in the same space
going through the time-consuming pitfalls was like a checklist of my current apartment and it explains so much :')
Also your bangs/shirt/everything looks amazing! Love you queen ♡
I looove the fringe!
The British say fringe instead of bangs… I wonder if you mean bangs… I love her bangs and i must say she has great bone structure!
yeah, fringe = bangs :-)@@ih4630
Good Morning, Busy 🐝 - 😂 !!! What a nice surprise to see a video from you unexpectedly - it's going to be a better day now!!! 🥰
dah i hope you love it!
@@Caroline_Winkler I did love this video + the cheat sheets / short cuts; with you & your inimitable personality + style front and center! So happy you are working with Wayfair - what an amazing partnership ... You're rockin' it Miss B (🐝)!!! 🥰
"Unhinged Fringe" and "Knottiest" rug made me laugh out loud because my mind processed It as "Unhinged and Naughty rugs" ... how dare the naughty rugs be so unhinged, making me comb them 3 times a day!
You can’t hide your sparkle girl! Rock it! ✨
Freaking love these tips!!
How about how to design and decorate when you overthink and overanalyse every decision 😬
