Lisa I love your design work. I am doing an addition to my home and working on blueprints now. I have recently married and my husband and I. have very different tastes... and I am trying to marry mine ( and my English and French antiques and art that is both contemporary and traditional) with his early American came across the prairies on a covered wagon aesthetic 😊 I am struggling with window placement for the addition and furniture placement of many of my things in the new additiono to NOT make the home feel disjointed. Can you help?
I made to scale furniture and floor plans before moving to a new house so I knew which furniture would even fit when I downsized - saved me a lot of hassle and moving furniture I couldn’t keep
This was very interesting and useful. One of my concerns, in life in general, is the removal of beauty from everything. From art, decor, architecture and even the post modern philosophy. Things are becoming soulless and the soul is vital.
I know nothing about home decorating. Ours is a collection of old handed-down mixed with whatever we found at flea markets and yard sales. Our tiny bungalow, built in 1947, has been collecting tchotchkes for 30 years. We are finally paring-down! I appreciate your education and wisdom. I don't want our kids to have to go through what we did!😢😢
Home decorating is simply a matter of contrasting colors, shapes, fabrics, materials (woods, metals, stones), and lighting. You could mix a new piece or two with what you already have. Love the fact you are pairing down. Decluttering was a game changer for me. 😊
All good information, but the video started out on track with the design mistakes, but then switched to talking about contemporary design, using most, if not all, of the "Home Decor Ideas That'll BLOW Your Mind!" video from 8 months ago. I just happened to watch that video a few days ago. Not sure if the editor accidentally picked up that footage or if it was purposeful. I would have liked to learn more about the design mistakes and how to fix them.
Thank you for sharing valuable and essential information on interior design for small spaces! It would be great to see more videos geared towards small spaces!
Have just moved from a big beach side contemporary Australian home to a big city apartment. So great to start again- my focus is a really good size terrace, looking at my greenery. Glad I'm on the right track, not having too much furniture or focal points. Thanks Lisa!
I made a little furniture pieces to scale with Legos. It was kind of fun. Moved things around all over the place. I loved Legos as a kid. But I’m old, Legos back then were blocks and that was it. None of the fancy things they have now. But I like the good old-fashioned Legos.
Great advice. I’m nearing completion on a renovated home in southern Italy. Many ex-pats choose to go with floor and wall tiles of bold Amalfi style colors and design. I get it, but I went with neutral tones and lines. My design choice is more eclectic, choosing to incorporate items I have collected over the years. I have rustic Italian antiques and decorative items to balance out the mix. I restored 200 year old ceiling beams juxtaposed against neutral floor tiles rather than marble. My move in date is September! 😂😮 , now early December. Piano, piano. I appreciate the opportunity to receive your professional advice. Ciao, ciao.
Hi Lisa, was there a mistake with the editing? It started as design mistakes and then finished with your design styles from awhile back. Would love to see more of the design mistakes .
Your content is always interesting and informative. I look forward to your videos. I made a design mistake by not measuring the path from the delivery vehicle into my room. The sofa fit in the living space, but we could not get it past a turn. That was a rookie mistake and only has to happen once…. Also, measure door openings.
Love it. Lisa, can you please do a video on classy photography artwork? Not where to buy it but what comes across as classy. Many art videos show a lot of abstract brushstrokes and just mention photography. So much on gallery walls is more about the hanging arrangement and frame style. I do my own Photoshop pics and discovered that even with random gallery walls, thought can be put into arranging B&Ws in value across the space or needing more negative space within the picture if you have a large number of pics in the gallery wall. The angles and perspectives of buildings in separate photos don’t often work together so they may need a little skewing to work together. I’ve had to crop photos a lot to get the best out of pics but I used to think what’s in the photo had to stay in it. I take out any tech, cars and people to make timeless pics and adjust the value levels, especially lowering the mid range to create a vintage feel. I also look at changing the colours before going to B&W so the tones look better. A lot of greens and blue tones don’t look great in B&W. The undertones in B&Ws can vary so I make sure they’re as close as possible and don’t print the big prints until I’ve compared them on a 8”x12” or whatever the ratio is. I also have a list of all my frame and mat sizes so when I go to manipulate a new photo it’ll be the right size to print and I’ll do variations on each photo e.g. a watercolour, B&W, sepia, landscape and portrait so I can change move the pic around the house and update it to feel fresh. I also work on the print in several sizes and ratios to fit several frames.❤
So I have a really great video on understanding how to compose a gallery wall that would help you… It’s how to consider the content of an image against other images and how to line it up so it all works up in the space. Take a look for that video and see if that doesn’t help you out a little bit because you’re thinking along the same Lines as I’m talking about in the video.🙌🏼👍🏻
Love your content, but did I miss something? You started with general design mistakes-too many little framed pictures, then everything was about contemporary design only. Also, when/where do you recommend using small framed artwork?
The artwork photos are good examples of what looks good; there’s only one with truly tiny frames which don’t work. The ONE big frame looks more modern. I liked almost all the others, especially good for maximalists who don’t like a modern look.
Yes, I found out years ago that the light bulbs change the wall colors. My walls were cool pale blue. Incandescent light bulbs turned them muddy green! I switched out all the bulbs with cool daylight bulbs and my rooms were beautiful crystal blue again.
I'm a fan of bauhaus Design for over 40 years. If I won the lottery, there would be a barcelona chair in my home for sure!!!!!😅 Greetings from Germany 😊
@ Learned the hard way, lol! Finally after 30 years have a house with a dining room scaled to the dining table and chairs that I bought three decades ago! ❤️
Ahhhh contemporary ❤ I love all movement and stages of it. The forefathers of contemporary design to me were like the fairy godfathers of incredible taste
I bought a sofa too quickly. It fits in the space just fine I had measured. But I hate that thing. But it cost me so much money and I don’t want to just get rid of it. But one of these days I probably will. Sell it for a major loss on craigslist or something. but there’s not a lot of choice in my town and everything was so huge that I was just thrilled to find something that would actually fit in my little living room. So it was kind of an impulse spy.
my living room is too small not to have the love seat against the wall / one corner is wired for the TV and there are 2 walls , one has a cutout for the window
Nice work here Lisa! Lots of great information for renovators. I wish I had you in 2016 when o started demo Reno of a kitchen and two bathrooms. It would have been nice to have a person not on the contractors or architects side. As for decor I visited the coooer Hewitt museum in nyc with my children for a school project. I really appreciate William morris wallpaper and Tiffany lamps and patterns on rugs and upholstery. Not so much curtains though. I had clay tiles made for my stove backsplash a four seasons theme. It makes me think everytime I look at it while slaving over my concoctions. I had clay tiles designed for the master bath to echo a dogwood tree outside the window. They are grey black and white. No colors. And a medallion for the ceiling light in the shower also designed by a clay artist. I have no regrets and I don’t care about what anyone else thinks. I like it I look at it. Make it your joy!
Ok, a couple of things. Not all of us know how to do that paper scale thingy. Teach us. I could Google I guess but i'm lazy and would rather hear it from you. Second, I have looked until my eyes have bled, Okay not literally. I am trying to find out how to balance tall items in a small house. I have a hutch. I have a secretary and I have a quite tall electric fireplace in a nine hundred plus square place. I love all of these items , but it feels a bit cluttered. Does that mean I have to let go of something or can it be arranged differently. Fireplace is in the living room, and the hutch and secretary are in the dining room. I have a large couch and 2 wingback chairs in LR too. Help me!
If it helps, usually when doing your scale layout the starting point is one square on the graph paper equals one foot in real life. You can adjust that ratio as it suits you. I have a similar issue with several tall wood bookcases with ornamental trim. What’s worked best for my limited space is to only have one of these tall, heavy elements per wall and balance it with something of similar mass in the space opposite it (another bookcase, a tall plant, tall lamp that directs light upwards, a large artwork, an architectural element). Because my pieces are dark wood and the walls are midnight blue, they tend to recede and disappear instead of feeling as noticeable as they did against lighter walls. Good luck.
@cleverkittn Thank you! Yours sounds a lot like my issues. My living room and dining room are one open space. As you enter my front door, you see a tall electric fireplace against the right wall,, and tv to the left on a console. My couch seperates the living dining area. I have a very large hutch in the dining rm on the right wall. I would down 0:03 size this but it belonged to my grandfather's sister. And then of course I have a rectangular table in the dining room. So here's the problem if you come back To the front door And looking straight ahead to the living room and dining room All the way to the back wall.There's a sliding glass door And that's behind the dininng table, To the left of the doors is a large tall secretary. And I Absolutely.Love it.I bought it at an auction. But it is the thing that I don't think there's anything to balance that off of there's already too much big furniture in the living room. The wall that would be totally adjacent to the secretary back in the living room.Where you come in the front door I have mostly windows. There's a very small space where I do have a shelf that is a little tall. I have two wing back chairs in the living room , a large couch And a large coffee table. I love the. Coffee table it has a backgammon board carved into it. I'm not in love with my couch.So I guess I could go smaller with that. My whole house is almost a thousand square feet. I've seen some pinterest Photos where they have the secretary in the living room But again I think I have way too much big furniture in there already. I think probably something would need to go.I'm just not sure how to decide other than the couch I love everything. Thank you for the suggestions. My furniture is also brown dark.I may try to paint the wall to blend it.
One huge art piece is fine if that suits your esthetic, but groupings might be the vibe for someone else and can feel more cozy and less like a museum or 'model home' you are marketing. Lighting - complete agreement on that point. Unless the rooms are huge with 10'+ ceilings and foot traffic can accommodate it - furniture away from the walls rarely works in medium to large size normal living rooms. This video feels recycled and 2 topics patched together. .
#3 Paint. So true. Even the talented Timothy Corrigan painted one room 3 different times just to get the right yellow, so he could pay homage to Nancy Lancaster’s iconic yellow room. I don’t have his budget or his talent, but he is so inspiring. It’s at the 10:30 mark ua-cam.com/video/HoVSaxiidOk/v-deo.htmlsi=ld04jEMLfwuie_pU and he could easily have edited out his “paint confession”.
I can precisely say where and why the jamming the furniture against the wall start. Its because of psychology, no one like when someone is walking behind you. Specially when you try to relax, this same go for having a window behind you. Also if you dont have to put it against the wall then the room is probably too big. Then its often because some rooms were made with specific use in mind or even the whole place. So its lack departing walls or the rooms are not to living code, like office spaces. The examples you give i have nothing against and understand the reasoning. But in most time you basically wasting space, brining no benefit that the room is bigger and have to heat up more volume. Its basically how designers work around architects fuck up.
The ridiculous "don't put furniture against walls" rule only works for huge American McMansions etc. Most people in the world live in smaller spaces where there isn't room for that.

This was very interesting and useful. One of my concerns, in life in general, is the removal of beauty from everything. From art, decor, architecture and even the post modern philosophy. Things are becoming soulless and the soul is vital.
I agree. It’s important to bring soulfulness into our homes.

I noticed that too. Recognized the “old video” tacked onto the new video. Disappointing. (And seems a little desperate.)😢
I hear ya! I'll make sure to keep it straight next time.
The lighting recommendation is a great tip. I’m definitely going to use it!
Lisa Holt is simply fantastic! We always learn so much from her tips and tricks. This is a must-see channel.
Aw, thank you so much for the kind words! 🙏 I'm so glad you find my channel helpful.

You're most welcome! Thanks for watching.
What A fab lesson/ inspiration! Thanks!❤
You're very welcome! I'm so glad you found it helpful!
Thanks for the great advice. You made so many valid points. You have also sent me down a rabbit hole, researching Bauhaus.
I love learning about different design styles!
Have just moved from a big beach side contemporary Australian home to a big city apartment. So great to start again- my focus is a really good size terrace, looking at my greenery. Glad I'm on the right track, not having too much furniture or focal points. Thanks Lisa!

No oil paintings, engravings, lithography?
Loving the longer video. More More More. You are fantastic. Adore your content.

Whoo! thanks you!
Great advice.
Thank you, Lisa 🎉🎉

I watched 3x and thought I was going crazy 😂
Thought it was just me.
Just watched and was also confused by the switch
Lisa doesn't answer questions on here.
Love your videos so much.
Neck issues in our family and need the support of the sofa against the wall. Suggestions on how to help this?
where can you find really nice floral slip covers
The artwork photos are good examples of what looks good; there’s only one with truly tiny frames which don’t work.
The ONE big frame looks more modern. I liked almost all the others, especially good for maximalists who don’t like a modern look.

Yes, I found out years ago that the light bulbs change the wall colors. My walls were cool pale blue. Incandescent light bulbs turned them muddy green! I switched out all the bulbs with cool daylight bulbs and my rooms were beautiful crystal blue again.
I know! Lighting is such a big deal, and the type of bulb you use can have a HUGE impact on the color of the walls.

Good choice! Me too!❤️
Can you put peeling stick tile in a bathtub or at the bottom of the shower
Great video!!
I'm so happy you found it helpful!
Thank you for sharing this video
You're very welcome! I'm glad you found it helpful.
Good informative video!
Measure, measure, measure. Do a cardboard cutout if you need to.
Absolutely, you’re right!
@ Learned the hard way, lol! Finally after 30 years have a house with a dining room scaled to the dining table and chairs that I bought three decades ago! ❤️
Is this a re-release of previous video/s?!
It’s a reprised classic double feature
I love this video!
Where did you get those gorgeous glasses (your specs)??!!!
Caddis! THanks~!
Wondering how can we know what is our type if style for our home?
Am grateful for the Bauhaus movement.
Question … if you want to do a wallpaper mural in an office, does it have to be over a beadboard bottom or can the mural be floor to ceiling?
Florida ceiling is fine. Just pay attention to your baseboard.

7:06 Design style evolution [KEEP]
But the topic was not contemporary design.
One huge art piece is fine if that suits your esthetic, but groupings might be the vibe for someone else and can feel more cozy and less like a museum or 'model home' you are marketing. Lighting - complete agreement on that point. Unless the rooms are huge with 10'+ ceilings and foot traffic can accommodate it - furniture away from the walls rarely works in medium to large size normal living rooms.
This video feels recycled and 2 topics patched together.

#3 Paint. So true.
Even the talented Timothy Corrigan painted one room 3 different times just to get the right yellow, so he could pay homage to Nancy Lancaster’s iconic yellow room.
I don’t have his budget or his talent, but he is so inspiring.
It’s at the 10:30 mark

Lisa always starts out with great advice, but she always defaults to her same style.
