      @@Nick_Lewis Found your channel today. Have already watched many of your videos. I'd definitely watch for an hour! Heck, I even looked for you online to see if you sold your design services. You live too far away. Keep making videos!!!! Short and long.

    People who don't love long explanations are just people who don't go to the bottom of things! I don't say they're not good people, they're just different! But here is actually a lot of people who love to understand the "becauses" of the "whys", so stay who you are, the world need more people like you!!

    Since you asked, I prefer a more lengthy production, where you have time to explain the ins and outs of your design perspective whilst inserting various aspects of your personality. This time frame is a little too short to be as informative and enjoyable as your typical videos. That said, thank you for another high quality share. Best wishes and please keep the other’s comin’!

    Do the short and long videos! You and your partner can both be right. I love that your videos get to the point without all the chit chat. They're educational and fun. My wife and I are looking to decorate and we desperately need help. I watch the longer videos when I have time. The shorter ones while eating lunch/cooking/etc. You have been extremely helpful! Lots of the other interior design videos seem to be personal video journals that are too fussy.

  • @anastasia10017
    @anastasia10017 4 роки тому +4

    I like the 2 min video. I also like your videos because you are the only interior designer I see that shows real life problems/solutions. Most designers show fantastic solutions in fantastic $15 million houses with high ceilings, huge windows over looking the ocean and gorgeous parquet floors. But 99% of us live in small cramped apartments and cant afford too much so as beautiful as those homes are, they are only a dream for most of us.

    • @Nick_Lewis
      @Nick_Lewis 4 роки тому +3

      Thanks for that feedback - I'm so glad you noticed because that's what I'm all about! I love the beautiful inspirational stuff too, but what about making design more accessible for the average person? I try to keep it simple, easy and FUN!

    can you do videos on design BASICS? and basic annoying problems ? how high is a chair supposed to be for maximum ergonomic comfort ? what is the perfect height for a counter top ? How deep should a sofa be to be really comfortable ? What is the most practical height for an ottoman -- 17" or 19" ? Why do my windowsills look ok when I move in and in a couple of years, they are cracking etc and what is the problem/solution ? These are basic rules that designers know but I never see them listed anywhere and I have searched for it..

    @wesselvandorst7530 3 роки тому

    I quite like it when the videos are long because you're never just rambling, you're always sharing valuable ideas, suggestions, and examples in a nuanced (!) way in my opinion. In fact, I would quite like to see even more examples when you're explaining a design concept. I would love to see you go through examples and highlight what design principles have been utilized in a design. Maybe that's a concept you could use for videos? It might not be for everyone, but I'm inclined to think there is an audience for it, but what do I know... Great content Nick! Congrats on 100k subscribers!

    @DouceVipere 3 роки тому

    I agree with other comments in here, you give long explanations full of content. It’s not that you are repeating yourself endlessly. It’s an actual class, with details and many of us are really interested in what you have to say. 2 minutes videos are great for certain subjects but in no way a substitute for others. Let the videos be at the length you see fit for the intended explanation. I love your content!

    Thanks for this video! Unlike when I look for a video to help me immediately accomplish something (like install a light or fix a toilet that won't stop running) I never sit down to watch a UA-cam video of this type in a big hurry to just get information and run. I enjoy them and and usually sitting down and relaxing when watching, so to me the super-shortness is not bad but also not necessary; though this was made a year ago so you've probably reached your own conclusion on this by now :)- Love the content whatever the length.

Now then I would love to see a companion longer one on details of how to do what I’m trying to do. So maybe a 2-3 minute one and then links to detailed ones. I like all your content but sometimes when I’m on UA-cam I just want the quick stuff. Then other times I like the long. Having both on your channel (to which I just barely found and subscribed to) will be perfect! This is me being selfish! LOL!

    Since learning of the rule of 3's recently I can't unsee it. So i notice it in videos/film and tv etc. I use 1 or 3. With art and books being a goal of an exception (soon when I get around to it) lol

    I like the idea of some shorter videos, but I enjoy the longer videos so much! Whether you're exploring a subject in depth (like the types of variation of colors), or bringing different cases about one theme (design trends that people are tired of), I really believe that the longer videos are super cool, and the proper format for those contents. Plus, I don't think you repeat yourself, or use unecessary words in the longer videos, I feel your always conveying something, that's another reason I like the longer videos.

    I like long videos because I watch you while doing other things
