Welcome to the channel! I'm formally educated with a college degree in interior design. My husband and I started this channel to discuss practical real world interior decorating techniques, and to present a multitude of interior design styles. Our videos explore everything from the ultra luxury to budget friendly designs, and decorating ideas. We want you to have a good time watching our videos, while learning a great deal of useful information. Subscribers are not a commodity to us. They are very respected, and valued members of our channel family!

Garrett, you are the most diplomatic designer out there that still tells the truth. Ty for yet another fabulous video!
Thank you so much! I just try to share what I’ve learned in the past decade or so and importantly from actually getting my college degree in interior design. I appreciate you subscribing and watching!😊😊😊
When our house was first being designed, we liked a lot of different styles. I will always remember something our architect said. “Eclectic is fine, you just want to stop short of hodgepodge.”
I think of this often 😂
You would be an amazing university design professor. Your knowledge, delivery of that knowledge, articulation, and charm would have people filling up your class as soon as it opens 🤩
That’s what needs to happen on UA-cam every time I post a video. To help us grow faster I truly need people to watch preferably in the first hour and at least the same day and of course subscribe. It’s all free versus what I’d charge to do a course.
@@GarrettLeChic So true!
Very interesting, the double rub test is called the martindale test in the Uk and it's done by rotating discs of sandpaper on fabric. I was nodding along with your comments about "Modern" style ,I have noticed that some shapes that are considered "Modern" like tub chairs for instance ,have actually changed very little in over 100 years. Details like colours and fabrics come and go but the skeleton remains. I see the sloping and bowed chair arms that were popular in 20s and 30s club chairs have been making a comeback as features of accent chairs. There's something rather wonderful about knowing that you could take a reupholstered club chair from 1935 and it would sit happily in a contemporary loft space. I suspect i'm rambling here but that's what happens when I watch videos like yours ..lol.
I always think it’s funny that the plain pine furniture I bought in the 90s that I’ve just painted or bleached is now considered vintage! ❤
Yes part 2……reminds me of the great art teacher I had in high school…..unfortunately during my school years she had passed from a car accident …Cathy Darling I think…… she and her partner were great inspirations in the art club… and gave me my creative spirit…. In all types of art….poetry…. Crafts… pottery…. Art appreciation… painting etc….thanks for the walk down memory lane….❤❤❤
😊😊😊🙏🙏🙏
Nice to hear someone remember a good teacher and how she influenced your style and views. 😊🌺
@@donnamclaughlin9215 yes I am in my 60’s…. Back then… teachers were the influencers…. Now I have Garrett … thanks for the nice reply ❤️❤️❤️
Definitely part 2!!! I just learned so much from this video. You are a great teacher. One reason why I love this channel is that it is not just another interior “decorating” channel; you educate us on design as well. You seem to be one of the few who has a design (vs decorating) background and it shows. The other reason I love the channel is for the dogs (I still miss Albert so much 😢)…oh and you too!
Wow, thank you! I understand. There is an actual science to interior design which you learn by going to college for it or at least working for a good period of time with an interior designer or firm. I try speak about subjects like interior decorating and design because that’s what I’m educated in vs say medicine, engineering, etc.
I learned a lot in just one video.
Part two, please..... 😃
Great to hear!
I bookend my eclectic (haha) style with my childhood and my current status. So, it's 70s Bible camp core with a robust dose of old lady with wanderlust.
Super fun video. I'd like to see a video where Garrett shows pics and explains what he thinks was his most creative room/house.
Waiting for part 2 of this great video.
I would love a part 2.
Yes, Part 2 , please!
I always learn something new from you. Double rub. Never heard that one before :-) And I had no idea about the range of the color terms. Been using them wrong for years. Thanks for the education!
Glad to help
Oh Garrett. Thank you for being you. I always learn something from your tutelage; sometimes monumental, othertimes minor. Point is, you are my hero.
I appreciate that!😊😊😊
Garrett, what are the odds you would entertain a special request video? I've scoured your vast video school room, but I have not found a solution to a dilemma I am currently troubling with. Could you please, would you please, please be my neighbor and possibly address this decor conundrum? Dressing a window with elaborate and opulent layered drapery consisting of shears and velvet embellished victorian drapes, finished valance, and let's not forget the tassel tiebacks mounted bilatterly for that swag effect. Now all of that over an unsightly window air conditioning unit that simply is an eyesore. Sadly, the unit is a necessary evil in this story. I cannot find a way to conceal the damn thing without an overly conspicuous buldge ruining my envisioned effect. I'm quite sure I am not the only person that is a student of your's that has not in the past or in the future, or perhaps currently faced or facing a simular ordeal. I am confident in the belief that you will have the solution to this tedious and troublesome decor personal hell I'm facing. Spoiler alert: Not as simple as just installing deeper brackets-oh no. @@GarrettLeChic
@@sabrinasmith6589 Thanks so much! I know I’ve touched upon that subject in general terms in previous videos, but not as a whole video. To be fair and honest as always, I probably won’t make a whole video about that subject. Sometimes I just have to see these spaces and discuss them directly. You might want to consider booking a virtual consultation with me at intro.co/garrettlechic
I can respect that. In the event that you find yourself sitting in your elegant dining room, pondering a subject matter for the students in my remedial window dressing class, just drop me line and let me know so I don't miss it. You are simply the best. @@GarrettLeChic
What about a free standing three panel screen?
I LOVE IT when you give us education. ❤ I didn't really appreciate the difference between modern and contemporary until you explained it. That's for sharing your knowledge!❤
You are so welcome!
Part 2, please.
Love your explanation of eclectic! When I explain myself I’ll often use that term. But you explained that I have a root base that ties into everything!🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻 Thank you so much 🙏🏻
It’s not a hodgepodge. It’s been carefully planned with many hours of OCD !
I learned the hard way from my mother. Don’t sit on the silk chair.
I’ve got so many awesome tips from you, Have a wonderful day 🐣
Thank you! You too!
An incredibly informative video. I especially hope some other UA-camrs see it and learn the difference between vintage and antique.😉
Thanks for the lesson on tints, tones, etc as well. ❤️
Glad you enjoyed it!
Hello 👋🏽
I didn't know about the double rub. I'll start paying attention to that.
I did not know that either. Isn't he just a marvelous teacher?
@Garrett LeChic, halfway into this video, & must say, "Thank you bunches!"💐🙏💐
I can already tell that this primer overview is all going to be super-helpful, & one that I will refer back to from time to time!🙂
Many thanks to you, dear Garrett, for your excellent teachings.
🙏🌿💐🌿🥰💚😘🌿💐🌿🙏
You are so welcome!
Won't lie, I was sitting here waiting to see if Garrett was going to troll us with an April Fool's video, but I was delighted to find that this was legit. As usual, excellent and insightful. I'm in for part two if you're interested in making one!
The video came out yesterday so it couldn’t be an April fools joke lol. I’m glad you enjoyed.
Part 2 please
Loved this video! Thank you for teaching us basic terminology for design, especially color terminology! I have recently moved away from synthetic products to organic and protein based fabrics and also appreciate your pro/con comments on the use of those materials. I really enjoy learning from you and await your part 2! Happy Easter!
Glad it was helpful! Happy Easter.
Would love a full video on color!
Hi GARRETT! You are just so good! Incredibly informative. Really smart video. Thank you so much for taking the time and for NEVER being condescending. Much appreciated! Ty
You are so welcome!
I love to watch your videos. They teach me a lot of useful tips❤ PS You are handsome as always❤❤❤
Glad you are enjoying! Thanks so much.
Waiting for part 2 !
This is the most informative video I’ve ever seen anywhere on interior design. Part two please!
Thanks so much! Glad you enjoyed it.
Oh Garrett, I’ve said it before and I say again, you are the most educating and informative interior designer on the internet. I’ve learned so much from you and have been inspired by you over the last couple of years. I’ve always wondered what the difference between the terms modern and
contemporary was ! Now I know ! Thank you for your inspiring and informative videos !
Wow, thank you! I just need to do better in conveying how important it is for my subscribers to put their notifications on and watch the videos as they come out which helps the channel grow.
PART 2, PRETTY PLEASE!!! ❤
Helpful as usual. Particularly useful was your description of fabric/fiber types and their pros and cons. Really looking forward to part 2.
PS - miss the pups
Glad it was helpful!🐕🐕🪽
Wow! I didn’t know what some of these design terms were. Thanks for educating me! Now I will pay attention when hunting design items and I will know these terms. Awaiting part 2!
I just learned that I may have a combination of eclectic and modern taste.
Nope…I’ve never heard of the “double rub”. Learned something new and useful today, as always. Thank you Garrett
You bet!
Yes, part 2 please.
😊 Happy Easter, Garrett!
Thank-you for another wonderful, informative video. Looking forward to what's coming next!❤
Thank you! You too! Glad you enjoyed.
This was so timely as I was researching on what interior design courses I can take. After buying my first home recently, I want to learn lot and explore. Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
This was super educational! I have to confess to not putting a lot of thought into types of fibers and materials in the way you presented it. I also didn’t know the difference between vintage and antique, I will be using that one as a fun conversation starter 🤓 Thank you Garrett!
Glad it was helpful!
Please have a part two. Always enjoy your videos.
Thanks!
Yes, a part 2 would be helpful, thank you.
Very interesting and informative - as always - Thank you for the tips! Much love from Utah!
You are so welcome!
This video was helpful to me. Part review with some new concepts. I would welcome a Part 2. Thanks.
Glad it was helpful!
Such a fantastic summary. Thanks, Garrett!
Glad you liked it!
Thanks for the decor language education.
God bless.
It's my pleasure
I want Garrett as my professor if i ever take a real class on design. I love all these details. Thank you, Garrett!
You are so welcome!
My style is what I call "Victorian Witch", quite close to the style seen at Hogwarts.
This sounds moody and fabulous.
Another great, informative video, Mr. LeChic. Thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it
LOVE to Garrette LeChic, best designer in the Universe!!!! xxxx
That’s so kind. Thank you very much!
@@GarrettLeChic I mean it too. You're so relatable and real. I would choose you over any designer any day because I know that you're honest and only want the best for your clients. Nobody could want more than that.
PART 2 PLEASE
Happy Easter! Love the tips
Thank you! You too!
Wow! What a wealth of knowledge delivered perfectly! Thank you! 🙏
Great explanation of terminology. Thanks!
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you Professor LeChic👍
Thanks for this video, Garrett - I think it's my all-time favorite on your channel! ❤❤❤
Wow, thank you!
Dear Garrett, Wow and Thank you! I never heard of double rub or truly understand the color differences. You are an amazing teacher. Your understanding and love of design is valuable.
Thank you for sharing much info with us. So so appreciated. ❤
You are so welcome! Glad you are enjoying and I appreciate your support.
Thank you for your education.
My pleasure!
I find that many people that call themselves eclectic, just buy stuff they like with no cohesion and its just one hot mess. So yeah i tend to think eclectic is negative because not many get it right
Oh, my! I’m going to have to watch and rewatch this video! I need to learn these terms! Thank you, Garrett!
Glad it was helpful!
I thought I knew everything about color but I didn't know about tones. Thank you!
You are so welcome! Please support the channel by subscribing if you haven’t already. I appreciate it.
Very educational and entertaining, Garrett. So helpful and I'd love a Part 2, please xx
Thanks so much! Glad you enjoyed. Please take a moment to support the channel by subscribing if you haven’t already. 😊😊😊
Busy taking notes as I decorate my new home. Thank you Sir. Love from South Africa.
Thanks so much! Please take a moment to support the channel by subscribing if you haven’t already. 😊😊😊
Amazing video as always! I'm curious if you have any webpage that could help learning about the lesser known antique styles like Chippendale, Sheraton, Biedermeier, etc.?
Thanks so much! Glad you enjoyed. Actually they are very well known and well documented. I would recommend doing research online using the names as search terms.
I'm popping the top of our 1960s family ranch house to add a second floor. Any suggestions on the style I should lean into?
Wow, extremely informative. Yes to part 2.
Thank so much!
Great video and explanation
Glad you liked it!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Love you and your channel💛
Yay! Thanks so much.
Thank you so much for this! I really appreciate you teaching us all of these details like rub count, how synthetic fibers are made, etc. I learned a lot.
You are so welcome!
Enjoyed this!
😊😊😊
Hello 👋 wow I learn so much from you. Thank you great information, great video 😊
You are so welcome
Great video Garrett. I feel like I just took a design basics class.
Glad it was helpful!
Good Morning and Happy Easter dear Garrett♥️
Thank you for such a wonderful intro design class:)
It transported me to my Image Consultant lecture days😍
Every vlog has something new to offer, and for me every vlog is educative. The double rub was quiet a new term I have heard of and never thought so before buying any fabric.
Usually I am lover of everything organic, so linen, cottons, silk attracts me. Very thoughtful and nice of you to always remind everyone our role and responsibilities towards planet.
Thank you so much and have a wonderful Easter break🥰🤗
Thanks so much! Glad you enjoyed. I just want to continue to stress to everyone there is important science behind interior design and that it’s not just about picking pretty pieces, diy or design style commentary. Have a great week!😊
@@GarrettLeChic so true, thank you🤗
Boy, that was a mouth full ~ makes sense Thanx for the info ~ helps me a lot ~ you are great! Bon in EKA CA USA
Glad it was helpful!
Love watching you is so much fun and educational. Thank you! Happy Easter. ❤
Same to you! Glad you enjoyed.
Yes! Part 2. Great video!
Yay! Thank you!
This was a GREAT one!!! I'm going to watch it again later and make some notes. Especially on paint. I love to paint (oil) and your explanations will help me when mixing oil paint and as well as my walls.
Glad you enjoyed it!
I love you share your amazing knowledge.
Thanks for your supporting the channel by subscribing and watching.
AMAZING video Garrett! Thanks for the excellent info … as always 😀
Glad you enjoyed it!
Very informative video Garrett. Love it
Thanks 👍
The tip on scale (and chair height) was very helpful. Thank you!
You're so welcome!
Wonderful tutorial!
Thank you!
Very helpful, Garrett. Thank you!
My pleasure!

That was a very interesting and enjoyable video, thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it
Very informative. Thank you
Glad it was helpful!
Going to rewratch with my notebook! Excellent material expertly delivered. Cannot wait to start on my LeChic process of redoing our home. Food for thought and points to have ready to discuss when I "meet" with you!
Wonderful!
Gorgeous photography here.
Many thanks!
Brilliant part 1. Looking forward to part 2 and beyond. I particularly enjoyed your explanation on modern design. I’m like you, I just love well designed and made items. Art deco is my favourite but don’t really like pottery/ceramics from that era. I also think art nouveau is gorgeous. I’ve always just thought I was confused and lacked cohesion and style.
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks so much.
So my style would be mid century traditional farmhouse. 😅
Garrett, this is a loaded question but what warm white goes well with a contemporary home with blacked framed Marvin windows and lots of glass?
I’d have to see the space and discuss lighting conditions etc. before I gave specific opinions. Every situation is different. I’m glad to assist and certainly welcome you to book a virtual consultation at intro.co/garrettlechic 😊
When buying furniture and choosing the fabric if I ask what the double rub is will most store have that information?
Hopefully. Depends on what stores you are dealing with.
Part two please
Perhaps, I’m not pleased with amount of views for part 1.
@@GarrettLeChic oh I’m sorry . I thought a lot of people liked it Lynn 🌻🌞
@@user-je2lp2iz7e No problem at all. I would have thought so to, but sometimes as a creator you make mistakes on what people want to see and as allot of time and work goes into my videos and we don’t just post junk, I have to consider viewer response to videos.
My eyes!! My eyes!!! That etagere with the dangling stereo wires at 8:41?!?!?!? I can't un-see it.
How do you find out how many double rubs of fabric has?
Its typically listed alongside the fabric composition, if you are looking at a furniture piece you may have to ask.
It's my Birthday!
Happy Birthday!🎂🎂🎂
@@GarrettLeChic Thank you, Garrett....
I'm a little slow so you completely lost me on the modern versus contemporary etc. But since I don't like the styles anyway I guess I don't care.
Excellent - thank you Garrett! I love learning about interior design and now I'm better informed on terminology. And I just love how passionate you are about this topic! ☀️🦩🌴❤️😊☺️🥰❤️🥰
Glad it was helpful!
