HAPPY SUNDAY EVERYONE!☀️ If you are trying to make your small space look & feel bigger, I hope this video gives you some practical ideas to transform your space! Would you apply any of these ideas to your home?
I have a coffee table with a glass section and it’s SUCH a pain to clean! So an all glass or acrylic table is NOT appealing to me! It would require constant maintenance to keep clean
Transparent furniture is one of the best ways to showcase your pet’s nose prints, dust and fingerprints. Also, acrylic chairs will eventually develop fissures and cracks. I weigh 107 lbs and my chairs were starting to crack in less than two weeks. Food for thought.
I leave in a 1,200 sq ft house and you helped me a lot with your tips every time. I felt relieved that I can improve the look of my house with changes I can make without spending a lot since I am retired and on a fixed income. Thank you so much , you have helped me even with your previous videos more than you ever know. More power to you and take care
@@claudiakarl7888 That's very interesting to me as I'm curious about housing and home trends in other countries. In US it's considered a rather small size home. I have a home that's 1400 sq feet and have 3 teenage sons, myself and partner (plus a daughter who lives there only part of the time). While there's enough bedrooms for everyone, it often feels crowded but I don't know whether it actually is or not. We previously lived in a 2200 sq foot home and it was way more comfortable. People often comment that my home is very small and I always just assumed it was but maybe not in everyone else's eyes lol.
I couldn't agree more that translucent furniture makers your space look bigger, but the down side is they require constant cleaning as finger prints seem to appear without being touched. Thanks for sharing!
I recently implemented floor to ceiling and wall to wall curtains in the same colour as our walls and it looked amazing. Our bedroom looks huge and so luxe. Now I need to look at large wall art for our living room. I’m a little worried about finding the right piece with a neutral aesthetic but I’m up for a challenge.
Hi Debbie: consider taking Picture with your smart phone . go to office depot and have large print made. have them mount or go to Goon Will store or Salvation army store . you can fine picture a frame and paint it. have fun. Ron
Took your tip on curtains. I had this beautiful classic Bombay curtains. French blue color. Bought rod and clips on Amazon, and installed it 6" from the fame of the window. My bedroom looks amazing! \
Kristen, so much of what you suggest for small spaces is spot on! I took the backing off my bookshelves and purchased a large rattan chair with slats so the wall behind them could be seen. This really helped to give my living room a larger look. Can't wait to implement the pocket door for my laundry/powder room! I wish the original builder had thought to do this.....
Hi Kristen.. I’ve subscribed and I have to tell you, you are one of my favorites. You have clear, clever and beautiful ideas, decor and just great taste. I love you and your family especially your interaction with your boyfriend. I can’t wait to see how your lake house and new office space turn out. Love love love you and what you do. ❤️❤️❤️❤️
1. Match the colour of the curtains to the wall color 2. Implement pocket doors or barn doors (any kind of sliding door) 3. Transparent furniture. 4. Lighting (atleast 3 lights). 5. Large scale flooring. 6. Large scale patterned rugs. 7. Large wall art or paintings. 8. Vertical storage
I need to use large art pieces or alternatives such as gallery walls! I do appreciate that you focus on decorating, and organizing. All your suggestions are so reasonable.
I am always looking forward to seeing your videos, the thing about your videos that you always have new tips, very useful and functional skills. Thanks Kristen. We need to see a spring decor.
Great video, Kristen! Thank you so much for structuring the content so well, and for showing examples. The first tips I will implement are matching the colour of the curtains to the wall colour, then hanging them very high, and also buying 2 pairs of panels in order to cover the space between the sides of each window and the wall. Have a wonderful week! Can´t wait for your next posting 😊❣
I absolutely love the sliding door idea. We just recently built a new home and I regret not adding doors to our bonus room that I will use as an office. But this idea is the perfect solution and even better than the french door option! Thank you for your content!
Thank you for all this tips, I live in a small space and this really helps me. I also apply less is more to lessen the clutter. I'm a fan from Philippines who loves to share my ordinary life too.
One of the best decorating videos I’ve watched on UA-cam! It’s chalk full of super ideas that can be implemented in a small, medium or large home. Thank you Kristen!
I ABSOLUTELY LOVED LOVED LOVED ALL OF THE CONTENT IN THIS VIDEO!! I have a "small space" home and all of these tips were so inspiring to me. Thank you for sharing!!
These were really unique tips!! That’s one of the things I love about your channel, you bring a fresh perspective even to popular topics! It’s not just regurgitating the same stuff other UA-camrs say. 👏🏼 Love the video! I live in a 500 sq foot apartment so this was definitely relevant to me! :)
Your content is amazing - what you dish out is literally goal - the most helpful content I have ever encountered! Thank you for sharing with us laypeople your design secrets!
Ive been watching you a couple years now. You are amazing. I have a question. I havent seen anything about a gallery wall. Im sure I have just missed it. I have downsized to a smaller house with a living room, dining room combo. Could I do a photo/art wall along the whole length? would that be too crowded? I dont know how to start and end a wall that doesnt end lol. If that makes sense? A comment or links would be great. Thank you
Love love all the content, I have put to practice your advise about installing curtains a bit higher and wider than the window and it looks great, also the same color of the wall. I always get compliments. Thanks !
HAPPY SUNDAY EVERYONE!☀️ If you are trying to make your small space look & feel bigger, I hope this video gives you some practical ideas to transform your space! Would you apply any of these ideas to your home?

Great
The problem with see-through (acrylic or glass) furniture is that you will constantly have to clean it in order for it to look good.
I have a coffee table with a glass section and it’s SUCH a pain to clean! So an all glass or acrylic table is NOT appealing to me! It would require constant maintenance to keep clean
Black furniture also.
especially if you have furry pets! Our glossy black piano shows everything, too!
Emty space in shelves
Cutain colors
Pocket doors
Transparent furniture
Lightining
Big tiles floor
Big wall art
Big rugs
Vertical hangers or shelves
Great tips, Kristen! The “too much stuff on the console” tip is one I give to friends and family so often. My eye does not enjoy chaos. 🤣

The fact that you give us all this advice for free, you are a step above the rest 🙏💕

That’s actually a normal size for a family home with kids in Germany. It wouldn’t be considered small.

Thank you for your comments on large wall art and gallery walls. It makes sense!
Thank you, Kristen for a well-timed video! I wish more creators talked about small spaces.

You could always try DIYing decor that’ll be cheaper, custom & match your personal aesthetic 👍🏻💯🙃

Kristen all that I can say is THANK YOU! You are a great help for me!😊😊
I never thought about the curtain tip of having them match the wall color. Great idea. Thank you
Definitely going to try the bigger wall art ideas. Thank u.
Took your tip on curtains. I had this beautiful classic Bombay curtains. French blue color. Bought rod and clips on Amazon, and installed it 6" from the fame of the window. My bedroom looks amazing!

I did same. Doubled up on curtains and hung out and up in my small rooms. The difference was amazing. Get many compliments.
I’m going to try the curtain and wall color idea. It looks so elegant.
Me too. Thanks for this tip
All such great tips, thanks for sharing Kristen 🤗 really like your idea of clearing the floor space to make it feel more open!
Pocket doors are great!

Bigger rugs, that it so easy, and a genius trick. Wall mount the desk; I'm doing that. And negative space, I get that now. Thank you.
Excellent tips. And definitely larger tiles for flooring. Even if you have a large home.
Excellent video - I have learned so much. Just about to refurbish my small house so everything you say is useful. Thanks
Thanks for the topic of lighting, you posted about backup lights. Am loving the new lighting options. Recharge as in use.
