We say that in Germany though I would have written it this way "kapische". Its an old word for understand and is a rhetoric question at the end of the sentence 😊
We use this a lot as an Spanish language speaker, In my case I apply this when I want to some body really pay attention to what I say about. God bless you.
Here in Ireland, in a lot of houses, we have the radiators under the windows. Therefore not a good idea to put the bed at the window because it blocks the heat. My bedroom is my favourite room as I've just had it finished with smoked mirrored wardrobes. I love them because not only does the room look bigger but it looks kind of mysterious. For me they were a good choice.
Re: bed in front of window. It may not be a problem if you don't mind living with AC all the time, but if you need to open your windows for ventilation in the summer, that placement of the bed is a really bad idea. Also, many bedrooms are starved for natural light, and the headboard in that location makes that problem even worse.
Also, a lot of times (at least in the places in Europe that I have lived), the radiators are under the windows and you should not put heavy furniture in front of them, so that the warm air can circulate in the room and you do not get mildew too quickly (at least that's said in theory and in my personal experience, it is written sometimes even in the contracts that you should not put heavy furniture in front of radiators).
Regardless the opening, in Europe almost everywhere, the newer windows can tilt open from the top, so it is not a problem to open it with the bed there...of course if you have a radiator under the window you will not put the bad there, she said it as an option...that if you have the space, don't be afraid to put it there because it is not a "design no no". But I agree, in 80% of the homes, the radiator will be somewhere near or under the window, so we can't really use that trick, although in the rooms she did it, I really liked it.
Also, it is hard to close the curtains. In northern latitudes the sun comes up really early in summer, like 3.00 am, and you want to close the light out - or if you have street lights outside.
The bed against a window thing is actually more for point of egress in the case of a fire or other emergency. If you have more than one window, not a problem to have a headboard blocking one. But if you only have only one window, it’s a bad life choice (literally) to block it.
Don't put your bed or big furniture up against a window if you need to access the window for: 1. ventilation if you don't have A/C 2. ventilation if its the only window in the bedroom and you need to "air out" the room 3. in an emergency due to a fire 4. need the natural light 5. if your furniture is made from cheaper material that will ruin/fade in the sunlight
Bed against the window, I think it depends, yes to having a headboard if you're going to do that but if the headboard is high and you only have one window in the room you're blocking a lot of the light coming into the room.
Ok please explain to me why I would want a rug underneath a dining table? I never got that it’s so much harder to clean and rugs carry so much dust so bad for people with allergies that don’t have time to vacuum every day.
My favorite room is my living room that opens up to my glassed in lanai where I have placed my small dining room set with several large plans. The room gets good afternoon light.
My favorite and most versatile pieces of furniture are my modern, black leather swivel recliners. They are not the huge overstuffed type of recliner. They are very sleek and beautiful. But, mostly, they SWIVEL. Therefore, I put them next to the view window so they can be swiveled to take in the view and swiveled back for conversation and TV viewing. SO practical! Makes all living room arrangement so much easier.
My living room/dining room (they are one big room) is my favorite. I got so many good decorating tips from the design sessions, you and your mom! Thanks to you guys I love walking into my house and thinking it’s so pretty.
Reasons I never put a bed against the window... Fire safety. It is the only window and putting it there will not only be dangerous in case of a fire, but also block the light It looks weird when there is no window and I don't want a mirror by my bed
Some great tips, thank you x I’m afraid I don’t have a favourite room in my home, it hasn’t been decorated in many years and a lot of things need replaced so I’ve fell out of love with it and feels more of a burden than a pleasure to live in.
I love your colour scheme. White is a definite. It brings so much light to your home and can make the rooms appear larger. White, light beige and creams mix really well. I have these colours in my home too. You never get bored of these colours. Love your home 💕
The real word is "capisci" which means, "understand"? We don't say it often in Italy because it's not the nicest way to ask somebody. We say "hai capito?". Also, "capisc" without the final "i", isn't even Italian but Neapolitan dialect. That is because, the first generation of Italian immigrants didn't speak Italian but dialects, so this is what you guys learned, a lot of words that are similar to Italian but aren't actually Italian. 😅
Where did you get those beautiful 2leather couches? And bonus: the double rattan nightstand?:) and pillows?!?!? ( I like the simple burnt orange ones with the frayed edges) :) thanks!
I have way too many openings on the living room, a fireplace and entertainment center and two windows. It’s extremely challenging. It looks awful. I gave up.
I have two walls each with a window and the ac registers underneath. Next available wall's where my closet is set with only 1 available wall space. Its frustrating where to put a Q size bed and still trying find places to a dresser or bookshelf that doesn't block a window or boxes me when getting up in the morning. Windows are also off centered, clearly more space to one side than another.
"Capische" is italian. It means 'understand'. The pure verb form is 'capire' (or 'capito') which means 'to understand'. 'Capisco' - 'I understand'. 'Capisci' - 'You understand'. (That's the one you used in the video. American English equivalent - "Geddit?" or "You with me?") I am unsure how one would correctly say "We understand". Capische?
Need design placement. I can’t find link below?…..I have a12 x 20 room front door middle of the twelve. Open to kitchen last9 feet on left patio door in the other 12 ft wall. The room has hallway door on right as you come into room. It a true run way I detest it! We added a den shape to it When I came home they had already change the layout and poured the cement up against my patio. And took all the light from the living room! 47 yrs. Still not enjoying it. Did you say that there was a design room thingy that we could place stuff? The on3s I’ve tried are hard to configure. And I don’t have $ to pay. One designer came in and told me to sell house and get something different. Yeah thanks. Two dollars for five minutes. Never again.
No TV watching from ur bed it kills ur sleep. I put a small couch and bech in front of my bed. They say ur bedroom should only be for sleep and intimacy, therefore no TV. Since I broke that rule that's how I fixed it.
Since American slang uses the wrong spelling by Italian standards anyway, it probably doesn't matter that it's often misspelled as “capeesh”; but “kapeesh” is really uncool: there's no K in Italian. In formal Italian, capisce is pronounced “cah-PEE-sheh,” but in slangy Italian and English it's “cah-PEESH.
Girl, I looooove those tipps and hacks! Thank you! It really helps me out! And I can't help but comment on the "capisce" question: "Capisce" is Italian. It means "understand". In your case something along the lines of "got it?". It's so American to not have a clue about any other language than English :D :D
“Capish” is from “capisce” and is Italian. Capisce was derived from the other Italian word “capire”, meaning “to understand”, which was further derived from the Latin word “capere” - “to comprehend”.
Omg you where so helpful! Lol I just moved a week ago and all of my furniture from my last apartment is just sitting in the middle of my floor! 🤯 so THANK YOU lol I think I have a plan now
In the Midwest in America we don't put the bed by the window because of lightening. It's a safety thing of sorts. Especially if the window or your bed frame, for example, have metal in them. It could conduct electricity and it puts you at risk of getting struck.
I always have had my bed in front of a window. I’m a bit of a conundrum, in that, I love being bundled up in bed- sweater, blanket, throw, a dog laying on me and a cat- but I hate being hot. It’s December here in rural NC, not crazy cold, so I’ll reach right behind me and just crack the window to let in a little cool air and listen to the wind when suffocated in fabric and critters :). Point being, rules are guidelines… design YOUR space, to fit all YOUR little odd needs, and it’ll be uniquely beautiful and functional.
capisce variants: capiche or less commonly capeesh or capish chiefly US slang / American pseudo-Italian Ref: www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/capisce; From Italian according to another source - sounds like "[do you] copy?" in gay lingo somewhere in this world of ours where they usually add "sh" or "ish to their words.
Capisce (also spelled capische) means "do you get it" or "do you understand," taken from the Italian word "capire," "to understand." Per Mirriam-Webster Dictionary online.
“Capisci” (“kah PEESH ee”) is Italian for “Do you understand?” Many Americans are familiar with the shortened form because they’ve watched “The Godfather” and other movies of that genre.
I need you to decorate my home…I love your Christmas rustic bears, I live in a log home, I like comfy , hubby likes recliner… Focal points? TV which is located next to windows, the fireplace is at the other end of room…uggh..
About the placement of the room rug...not always practical to place the rug in a horizontal orientation. This advice assumes that most, if not all, rooms are wide, which is not always the case. Not many options will be available for a long and narrow bedroom that is 10 feet wide x 19 feet long to anchor the bed. Putting the bed on the widest wall chops the room in half and makes it annoying to walk around the bed (yes...I've tried that already). And no...I'm against placing a bed against a window for egress and safety reasons (esp. since the headboard, in my case, stands nearly 6 feet tall)...not to mention that the headboard will block most of the light from a SW exposure.
Re: bed against the window… I live in earthquake territory, I don’t want the window to break on my bed if I’m sleeping and an earthquake occurs. It’s beautiful, but I always ensure that whatever is above the head of the bed doesn’t have glass or is heavy. Our current piece of art I actually laid down and knocked it onto myself to see if it was too heavy. Definitely a startle factor, but it’s only canvas, so it passed the earthquake test.
I wonder why would you turn your back to the window when you can sit up and look out and see the green and what ever is outside. I can see mooing cows and makes me smile straight away. What a way to start the day. I can also see birds in the trees they make me very happy. Waking up to see beautiful Mother Earth nothing better.🌍🌎🌏🐂🐃🐮🦬🦜🐦🦅🕊🪴🌴🌷🌻🌳
Second most important thing for bedroom is a rug? What? In what universe. Second most important is a wardrobe or some kind of storage space (unless you have a separate walk-in-closet). The designs look beautiful, but are impractical for real life.
Capiche, capeesh, capische, etc Capiche is the standard English spelling of the word, usually followed by a question mark, meaning do you understand? It comes from the Italian capisci. The word occasionally appears in several other spellings, including capeesh and capische, but these are far less common than the standard one.
I, unfortunately, don't have a favorite room. All my furniture is either hand me downs or needs updating since it is now 10+ years old. I am doing a mini make-over to my closet so maybe that will be my favorite room. Right now I'm busy cussing out the light fixture I'm trying to install.
Capiche.. is an American slang for do you understand? I think it was from the Italian communities. My father used to say it. We did live in an Italian community at one point. My father loved to use his limited foreign language knowledge when he was speaking to us kids. He had a few German ones too!! lmao
Oh, my goodness! He's So Handsome! That last picture looks so much like....His grandmother! He has both your and Tyler's feathers, but something about that last picture. Congrats!!!
According to Feng Shui your bed should never be placed under a window. Unfortunately I have no choice but to have my bed slightly under two windows as the space between the windows is smaller than my bed. I do wake up stuffy every day during the winter. My current headboard is slated so I think with a larger headboard I should be able to block any draft.
Okay I'll say it like all the the other capicase is yes in Italian.....I think I might be the 100 person to write it too...also I find it here in Australia the summer months the sun hits the windows bad to the point were it has duscoloured my neutral chair and parts of the curtain...that's my on my concern with that..I have a team headboard and I don't want to damage it...I have even put a blanket at the back of it to protect it too.no luck had to move it back to wall side...ummm
The only concern I can think of about about a headboard going against a window and covering a good bit of it; is in an event that someone is trapped in there room during a fire and the point of entry for a firefighter is through the window. That individual maybe in trouble...Thats the only thing that comes to mind for me.
I have a small square living room and the balcony sliding door is in a corner. I’m so lost. If you live in a bad neighborhood don’t put your Bed buy a window because if somebody starts shooting you can get shot in the head. Also, if you live in the area where there are bears, don’t put your head board at the window because the bank to break the window and grab your drag you out. You also cannot see someone walking outside your window creeping around.That’s all I got lol
The word you murdered is an italian verb --> Capisci == you understand. In italian you read all the letters. Ca-pi-sci. About the bed placement, having a full mirrored wardrobe, i enter in my room and see the whole thing in the mirrors first while looking at the wardrobe
The issue is it’s a fire hazard. If there’s a fire the firemen will have a hard time moving furniture to get u out.(u would be surprised about how many ppl sleep thru a fire alarm and it’s the neighbors who call emergency)
My bedroom has the sun hitting it directly, when the bed was in front covering the window some it got so hot that the blinds burned and melted ! We were so lucky we smelled it and caught it quickly because that would have been super scary!!
You never disappoint. Take as much time as you need off..... Enjoy your beautiful son 💙 😊 Capiche means Do you understand? It's slang. I think it's Italian.
Ok what rugs do you put under a table with 3 young kids? I have always wanted one but I am waiting tell the kids are older. If there is a way to have one with three young kids let me know your tips and tricks or do I have to wait? Thanks! :)
Actually, it is NOT Italian, it is only meant to sound Italian. According to the Cambridge dictionary online "Capiche is used to ask if someone understand, in a way that is intended to sound Italian, or to sound threatening: 'I'm not in the Mafia. Never was. Capiche?" It's been used in so many American films that everyone thinks it's actually Italian. Nope. Made up for the movies.
@@TheBeethovenrox1770 I read full-time as a living. AND you did not answer my question. I am quoting a dictionary. How do you know if it is incorrect? When I went to an online Italian dictionary, I couldn't find "capiche" in the Italian dictionary. Am I spelling it wrong? Is it a slang expression that has escaped the dictionary? I'm really curious, now.
Capeesh/Capisce: Italian slang for “you understand” or “yes I got it”
Except in Italian we never use the present indicative: capisci, but the past participle: CAPITO?
It's American pseudo-Italian slang
We say that in Germany though I would have written it this way "kapische". Its an old word for understand and is a rhetoric question at the end of the sentence 😊
We use this a lot as an Spanish language speaker, In my case I apply this when I want to some body really pay attention to what I say about. God bless you.
Capisci'? Is italian slang, means: do you understand?
The answer is "capito!"

My bedroom has 3 windows luckily!
Capiche: Italian for “understand.”
Have you ever read Scary Stories?!? you DON'T put the bed by the window....
My favorite room is my bedroom. It's my little sanctuary 💗
The bed against a window thing is actually more for point of egress in the case of a fire or other emergency. If you have more than one window, not a problem to have a headboard blocking one. But if you only have only one window, it’s a bad life choice (literally) to block it.
All true! I also just want clear access to open the window 🤷🏻♀️
Its also a Feng Shui design basic not to place your head against a window.
I totally agree..
Blocking the window is a fire / emergency thing but also: you cannot open it fully to properly ventilate the room and might get
mites!
Some rooms are so small there is no option
@@family-peace-love yeah thats true of course
Don't put your bed or big furniture up against a window if you need to access the window for:
1. ventilation if you don't have A/C
2. ventilation if its the only window in the bedroom and you need to "air out" the room
3. in an emergency due to a fire
4. need the natural light
5. if your furniture is made from cheaper material that will ruin/fade in the sunlight
and if you have the window open, dirt will come in and what ever is under it will get dirty.
Bed closing off windows is bad Feng Shui. The Chi (good energy) needs to flow. Plus its a safety hazard.
What if the room is too small but needs to fit a bed ? No other choice
It’s too bad architects in the 1950s (when my home was built) didn’t consider feng shui when designing homes.
Yes… I’m convinced now… My bed is going against the window! Done! Thank you♥️🙏🏽🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Bed against the window, I think it depends, yes to having a headboard if you're going to do that but if the headboard is high and you only have one window in the room you're blocking a lot of the light coming into the room.
Ok please explain to me why I would want a rug underneath a dining table? I never got that it’s so much harder to clean and rugs carry so much dust so bad for people with allergies that don’t have time to vacuum every day.
Especially with kids. That would be a nightmare
Omg 😆 It’s Italian. It means “do you understand”.
He is adorable ! Congrats !
I order the rug once I know the sizes and arrangement of the furniture first.
Capisci is Italian, and it means “do you understand?” Lol
Thanks for all of your great content!
When I wake up I love look to my window, look to sky. Sometimes can be in bed half day 😂So,my bed never stay next to the window.
My favorite room is my living room that opens up to my glassed in lanai where I have placed my small dining room set with several large plans. The room gets good afternoon light.
Lanai - makes me think of beautiful Florida nights ✨🌴
My favorite and most versatile pieces of furniture are my modern, black leather swivel recliners. They are not the huge overstuffed type of recliner. They are very sleek and beautiful.

My living room/dining room (they are one big room) is my favorite. I got so many good decorating tips from the design sessions, you and your mom! Thanks to you guys I love walking into my house and thinking it’s so pretty.
Again I am so happy for you and your family, thank you for the tips, I'm due in three weeks, so I changed the layout in the bedroom with the crib.
Yay congratulations!!!! He’s so adorable 😍
Your son is beautiful 🌸
Reasons I never put a bed against the window...
Fire safety.
It is the only window and putting it there will not only be dangerous in case of a fire, but also block the light
It looks weird when there is no window and I don't want a mirror by my bed
Italian capisce, third person singular present tense of capire “to understand”
Some great tips, thank you x
I’m afraid I don’t have a favourite room in my home, it hasn’t been decorated in many years and a lot of things need replaced so I’ve fell out of love with it and feels more of a burden than a pleasure to live in.
Couldn't of come at a more perfect time💖I always learn from you💖my favorite room is my bedroom,it's cozy comfortable 💖
Favorite Tip: “Consider the foot rubs!” 😄
Also, you are getting closer to 1 million subscribers, exciting! 😍
by the way You Look Fantastic. Your skin and hair look friggin amazing. :)
"Capisce" is Italian, for "understand?" In Spanish, it would be "comprende?" In French, it's "comprendre?" lol
Thanks I need this advice! My room layout is already difficult before I added furniture
I love your colour scheme. White is a definite. It brings so much light to your home and can make the rooms appear larger. White, light beige and creams mix really well. I have these colours in my home too. You never get bored of these colours. Love your home 💕

Great options!! I’ve always loved the couches and chairs across from each other because it seems to be a timeless layout! ❤️
My favorite room is our bedroom. YES in love w yr bed!
CAPEESH is an Italian word meaning understand! I’m actually FBI(full blooded Italian) & I use this word on a daily...
Oh my god... if you don't know italian, please, speak english... thanks. "Capisch", "Capiche", "Capisc' "... lascia perdere... davvero... ;-)
Where did you get those beautiful 2leather couches? And bonus: the double rattan nightstand?:) and pillows?!?!? ( I like the simple burnt orange ones with the frayed edges) :) thanks!

Please advise on small bedroom that has wardrobes/built ins. Layout etc

I wonder why would you turn your back to the window when you can sit up and look out and see the green and what ever is outside. I can see mooing cows and makes me smile straight away.

Oh, my goodness! He's So Handsome! That last picture looks so much like....His grandmother! He has both your and Tyler's feathers, but something about that last picture. Congrats!!!
The Kitchen is my favorite followed by the Man Cave.
According to Feng Shui your bed should never be placed under a window. Unfortunately I have no choice but to have my bed slightly under two windows as the space between the windows is smaller than my bed. I do wake up stuffy every day during the winter. My current headboard is slated so I think with a larger headboard I should be able to block any draft.
Hi, really enjoy watching your videos, could you maybe make a video on balcony makeover ideas?
Caprich means “do you understand?” In Italian...comes from word caper “understand” originated from the Latin word capire.
Okay I'll say it like all the the other capicase is yes in Italian.....I think I might be the 100 person to write it too...also I find it here in Australia the summer months the sun hits the windows bad to the point were it has duscoloured my neutral chair and parts of the curtain...that's my on my concern with that..I have a team headboard and I don't want to damage it...I have even put a blanket at the back of it to protect it too.no luck had to move it back to wall side...ummm
how in the world do you decorate family room when flanked on each side of the fireplace is a window and on the other side is a fireplace???
The only concern I can think of about about a headboard going against a window and covering a good bit of it; is in an event that someone is trapped in there room during a fire and the point of entry for a firefighter is through the window. That individual maybe in trouble...Thats the only thing that comes to mind for me.
I have a small square living room and the balcony sliding door is in a corner. I’m so lost.
If you live in a bad neighborhood don’t put your Bed buy a window because if somebody starts shooting you can get shot in the head. Also, if you live in the area where there are bears, don’t put your head board at the window because the bank to break the window and grab your drag you out. You also cannot see someone walking outside your window creeping around.That’s all I got lol
The word you murdered is an italian verb --> Capisci == you understand.
In italian you read all the letters. Ca-pi-sci.
About the bed placement, having a full mirrored wardrobe, i enter in my room and see the whole thing in the mirrors first while looking at the wardrobe
The issue is it’s a fire hazard. If there’s a fire the firemen will have a hard time moving furniture to get u out.(u would be surprised about how many ppl sleep thru a fire alarm and it’s the neighbors who call emergency)
My bedroom has the sun hitting it directly, when the bed was in front covering the window some it got so hot that the blinds burned and melted ! We were so lucky we smelled it and caught it quickly because that would have been super scary!!
You never disappoint. Take as much time as you need off..... Enjoy your beautiful son 💙 😊
Capiche means Do you understand? It's slang. I think it's Italian.
Congratulations 🧸🎉
My favorite room is my sewing room
Hi, you are funny, capiche is from the word capito / Italian meaning understand. kind regards
And they suggest not putting beds next to a window for Californian's or those near earthquakes. Sometimes windows shatter in earthquakes.
“Capisce” (also spelled “capeesh” or “kapeesh") is Italian for “understand”.
Capisce? You understand?
Capeech = you understand? In Italian. Also, the headboard against the window is a no no for feng shui because chi while you sleep.
Hey Sharjah - in case no one put this out there, capiche is of Italian origin & means, “Do you understand?” FYI
Ok what rugs do you put under a table with 3 young kids? I have always wanted one but I am waiting tell the kids are older. If there is a way to have one with three young kids let me know your tips and tricks or do I have to wait? Thanks! :)
Maybe People don't like to put beds near Windows because tvs are in front of the bed and the light might be an issue durind the day 🤣...
I feel the chi or flow in my bedroom is not working! Watching to see if I can figure out a better way to rearrange bedroom furniture.
My bedroom is my favorite I want my living room to be all my furniture don’t match 🙄🙄🙄
DO you have an app that can be used to place furniture in a room? Or what do you recommend? Or just graphic paper and furntiture template?
One nice thing Sharrah has lived in several different homes and is able to share different design ideas from these homes.
Actually, it is NOT Italian, it is only meant to sound Italian. According to the Cambridge dictionary online "Capiche is used to ask if someone understand, in a way that is intended to sound Italian, or to sound threatening: 'I'm not in the Mafia. Never was. Capiche?" It's been used in so many American films that everyone thinks it's actually Italian. Nope. Made up for the movies.
Incorrect.
@@TheBeethovenrox1770 You speak Italian? I am merely quoting a reputable dictionary, after all. My Italian is limited to food terms. Please elaborate.
Please read more. 😁
@@TheBeethovenrox1770 I read full-time as a living. AND you did not answer my question. I am quoting a dictionary. How do you know if it is incorrect? When I went to an online Italian dictionary, I couldn't find "capiche" in the Italian dictionary. Am I spelling it wrong? Is it a slang expression that has escaped the dictionary? I'm really curious, now.
Your ego aside, it is of original Latin and you can easily find that. Have a great day!
capisci is Italian and means 'do you understand?', we have the subject implicit
Capisci in italian means "do you understand? " Capish i think Is kind of a joke , a way ti say capisci like It s another language...
