I loves how he acknowledge that if it makes happy, go with it. I think that is so respectful and thoughtful. we all come from different path of life and some things that are not the best designs can mean so much to specific people
I appreciate how thoughtful this list is, instead of just naming specific trends. It helps to know the background reasons those trends don't work, like lack of texture or drawing attention to fakeness.
Local art groups often have exhibitions. The work is unique, genuine, and often costs about the same as the mass produced rubbish you see in furniture show rooms. Plus you're supporting a local artist!
This video is so spot on. It makes clear problems that were not always obvious. I am especially pleased you highlighted generic ‘artwork’ and word art. I absolutely hate that and feel it is the epitome of poor taste and a cheap look.
As well as for paint choices, especially west-facing rooms that have a drastic color change throughouth the day. Greige is good there as the greys come out in the morning & the yellows in the afternoon.
Great tips and they were worth repeating. I would love to see you design a room outside of your own aesthetic and comfort zone - working with a client's tastes and likes etc.
I'm definitely open to this. I'm making some changes to the House To Home series and will start opening new submission next week. Hopefully can get some interesting projects to work on.
@@reynardlowell I look forward to that. Joanna Gaines had to do an MCM, and I was sure she would fail, but she did a very good job. Renyard pick a very weird style, one that maybe you don't even like.
@@rockshot100 Sometimes this can backfire. We all have our strengths and weaknesses, and while sometimes doing things outside our comfort zone can stretch our skills, it can also be disastrous. There is a quote (falsely) attributed to Einstein about asking a fish to climb a tree. While Einstein apparently never said it, whoever did had a point: there are some things that are are simply not meant to do. We cannot be all things to all people. That said, I myself try designing outside my comfort zone in a style I'm not particularly fond of, and sometimes the results turn out better than expected. I learn something about a style I wasn't familiar with and I see that style with new eyes (though I may still not prefer it). There are some styles, however, that I dislike and would be awful designing, like Southwest. It's not my thing and I would not be the person to hire to do interior design for such a house.

@@kj3d812 Good point, I have certainly had some disasters. Then again, if for example, you design in a style you hate, sometimes you can pick what you do like and tweak it a lot and come up with some very good work. Reynard is a very solid designer, I think he could handle it. I hate deco and nuveaux styles, for some reason, but I think I could design within the perimeters and maybe even like the result. This is a good way to distance your own biases and design analytically.
I used those curtain videos you made to do all my curtains last month. Really great advice, thanks for putting that together. The rooms like much better now.
Renyard you are the greatest. I can understand EXACTY what you are talking about and WHY. You go further to give great visual examples to make things even crystal clear. I understand the concept and the reasoning. One thing to mention is café curtains are now hated but do a great job if you only need privacy on the bottom half of the window. For the kitchen and eating area they are perfect for me. But no other room (maybe a bathroom would be OK.) No ruffles, lace or patterns other than a stripe. A stripe will add length to the window. Fabric thin but durable like a sheet is best. A very small top valance hung mostly on the wall, only an inch or to over the glass, completes the look. Over the sink my mini blinds get dirty fast, these are MUCH easier to clean. Keep them simple and they will look classic. The thin fabric let more light in than the open mini-blinds.
Café curtains are a classic for an eating area. IMO, Roman shades look terrible and block light even opened. No ruffles, no lace, no pattern I don't believe they will ever look dated. Almost nobody needs privacy on the top of the window.

Love your videos. I am UI UX designer and love good design but sometimes don't understand what wrong is with my interior. and you help understand what should be changed to look better
I agree with everything you've said and would like to add a few more tips. - Stick to one kind of wood per room. It doesn't look good, when you mix different kinds of wood, because every kind of wood has it's own colour. - Don't use more than three different kinds of materials for your furniture. If you use glass, wood, stone, metall and plastic in one room it probably will look like a room filled with chaos. - Don't use more than three main colours. Get an idea of the most important furniture for a room and it's colour. Then arrange everything around it. - Don't mix furniture from different decades. It looks terrible, when you mix furniture from the sixtees, eighties and modern furniture. It probably will look like you've got your furniture from a thrift shop or garage sales. I know that very well, because when I was young my place looked excactly like that. 😄
I love all your videos and have been bingeing them since my husband and I just bought our first home that we'll be moving into! I do have one question that remains though, that I haven't been able to find any interior decorators/designers tackle: how do you have a beautiful, clutter-free home when you have collections you want to display that aren't necessarily attractive? My husband and I have several Pokemon plushies each that we enjoy tossing around when we're relaxing in the living room, he has a Star Wars ship collection he'd like to display, and I collect dolls. The colours and shapes of these items obviously don't match anything so using them as decor is tough. We're open to only having a few pieces of display and putting the rest away and just swapping them as time goes on, but how do we not make them look random? Especially in a small space where space for furniture is at a premium!
Depends, but contain them in something that would otherwise fit the room and get lighting on the centerpieces. If you're using LED strips, always diffuse, never use them raw.
Make custom shelves behind glass and arrange them absolutely neatly and equally spaced so each item is placed precisely equidistant in relation to the others. The entire collection can have different colors, like the spines of books, but the absolute military precision of their placement will make them "fade" into the background like a pattern on wallpaper or the spines of books that are all the same size. The collection is out, but so static that it's not distracting and doesn't look like clutter but like a regular pattern. Narrow shelves with glass means they will be kept clean and orderly instead of chaotic or cluttered. A narrow "wall" of shelves behind glass can fit along a hallway wall and not become a focal point of your living area, but more like a gallery wall of pictures.
I once lived in a small flat in which from the moment you walked in you saw three different floorings: wet-shiny beige tile in the entrance, light brown fake wood in the living/sleeping room and terracotta tile in the kitchen. If the bathroom door was open you saw four: pale blue matte tile in the bathroom. It was a tiny flat and four types of flooring all in view the moment you walked in just chopped it up visually and made it seem smaller.
One thing I've never seen addressed are how to hang curtains when you can't use the space between the top of the window and the ceiling. Three of our windows have air conditioning units above them (it's an old house, there's no way to install central air here). As you can imagine, the sun here requires some filtering... I don't like roller blinds, and Roman blinds, which I actually do like, are both significantly more expensive and less practical here than curtains, with the only exception being those Ikea magnet-based polyester Venetian-style blinds, which I don't think are necessarily an improvement over a nice curtain hanged too low, but maybe I'm wrong. Also, for some reason, the people who renovated this place installed all the new windows flush to the wall, so I don't even have the option to use the inner frame for any type of blinds. I would genuinely welcome any ideas.
I'm also guilty of having a stark house - because until this last house, we moved every 2-5 years for job changes. Also, be careful you don't trip over the "texture". Rugs can be a deadly trip hazard. Remnants with sewn edges that lay flat (weighted) are nice for texture.
Reynard has become my fav interior designer. One mantelpiece if challenging enough. But to have lots of mantles and call them open shelves (when I really needed concealed storage in that spot) becomes too much.
Very good and well delivered tips. I found interesting the one about textures, and I think that would be the most difticult one for me to execute. Thrn the next one that seems hsrd to me to get right is light, even if I know about the types, you still need to have a good sense to put it well, so that it gives proper effect. It pretty difficult to imagine. But lets see if im able to come up with something nice for my new apartment. I wont be hiting any interior designer brcause there are few that can do well. Whrnever I look at the demos, I wonder that ready templates from IKEA look better and more cozy.
@@reynardlowell Lined curtains are particularly difficult to make well. There's a whole art and science to making curtains and draperies so that they hang properly and look good on the windows.
3000 calvin is already too cold/white in my opinion, it's better to stick around 2000 and add a few more lamps if needed. I love Philips Hue as you can play with the warmth and brightness.
"Why your home looks cheap" - because it is cheap and a collection of hand-me-downs, whatever was on discount and whatever we still had from previous spaces. --- But in all seriousness; once the funds are replenished and some of the hand-me-downs and other "placeholders" can be replaced there are a few things I noted down. - And I also have a video to point my partner to when he insists on "the big light" the next time. - Textured/interesting pillows on the sofa is something I'll be doing right away though, since we still need some anyway.
Whilst I agree you need complementary flooring where there are different flooring in different rooms, but I disagree with putting the same flooring everywhere. In the UK this isn't very common and is normally a sign that the builder got a good deal on the same material and to me comes across as a bit cheap. It probably looks better in huge open plan layouts but most of our homes here are separate rooms.
Ultimaker printers are the best. A bit on the pricey side, but at least you won't have the filament holder moving around like the one in the Bambu does during printing hahah
Question on your furniture shopping list. I appreciate you mention different countries but how many of the shops are actually from the UK (not shipping g to UK as I would need to pay customs) I worry that it will be most US stores with a couple Uk ones thank you
There's at least 60+ stores based in UK (not all physical, some online only but UK based). Then there's at least 40+ that ships to the UK but also to the US and others, maybe half of that have UK based warehouse (big one like zara home, H&M, and then online based brands like Desenio or Ettitude). So in total I'd say 80-90 stores that ships to the UK without custom.
Completely agree with all of this... particularly the crap art.. It's so unnecessary. Real art isn't an elitist purchase. So many reasonably priced originals and amazing artists out there.. even prints offered by the original artists, Ltd edition.
I disagree on matching furniture sets. Mismatched furniture makes your house look cheap. My couches match as does my coffee table and end tables and I wouldn't have it any other way.
I love your videos. However as do sense they are getting repetitive. I’d like to make a suggestion, how about videos analysing people’s home? Or a video on how you you actually design from concept to completion?
I'm currently planning a content related to analysing people's home. May I ask what you'd like to see there? Regarding the latter, there's a whole catalogue of makeovers where I show glimpse from concept to completion, and also a video on my design process albeit not super in depth ua-cam.com/video/4oMAdZEs1g0/v-deo.html
Love your hints and tips but it does irritate me to get a long sales pitch for a 3D printer, especially when I pay a monthly subscription so that I DON’T get advertising.
I preferred the "cheap look" rooms. Simple, uncluttered, and minimalist. The busy, over designed, and cluttered rooms looked chaotic. I'll stick to my minimalist values.
My tip for a complete cheapasses like me who also doesn't have spare time to curate art: Use AI and word prompts to generate something that fits you theme, palette and aesthetic, then just pay to print it. Not as good as real art. But better than mass produced.
Please, would these you tube decorators stop using the term "cheap"!! Perhaps use a positive term for changes instead of negative. Cheap just sounds so ugly and judgemental.
I frequently see titles of videos that misused the word “expensive”. The videos teach women “How to look expensive.” The correct title should be “How to look wealthy”. Unless a woman charges by the hour she is not striving to “look expensive”. Expensive describes the cost, not a person unless they are for sale by the hour. A plumber in a Rolls Royce can look expensive because they do charge by the hour.
Okay, can you please stop with all the sales stuff? This is the sponsor; I have a video that can show you how; here take my course; here is a free app. Make a separate video about that and just make the video. It sucks when you have to watch a commercial just to watch more commercials.

@@reynardlowell Have you tried branches, or something like a pussy willow? Dried eucalyptus also looks good. I agree fake plants never look good.
@@rockshot100or crochet flowers.
Love your hints and tips but it does irritate me to get a long sales pitch for a 3D printer, especially when I pay a monthly subscription so that I DON’T get advertising.
The ads that UA-cam puts into videos is different than a sponsored video.
Let him get a sponsor plus it’s not that long.
Who can afford a 3d printer anyway?
Sponsorships pay the bills. Let the man eat
You can just fast forward a bit when he mentions the sponsorship.
You mentioned twice that not everything has to be a “hero piece”. What is a hero piece?
I preferred the "cheap look" rooms. Simple, uncluttered, and minimalist. The busy, over designed, and cluttered rooms looked chaotic. I'll stick to my minimalist values.

We TAAALKED about the boob light.
Reynard, aren’t you an architect not interior designer? How about architecture topics
3D printed built-ins 🤔

In 8 years, all these tips will be the new cheap.
My tip for a complete cheapasses like me who also doesn't have spare time to curate art: Use AI and word prompts to generate something that fits you theme, palette and aesthetic, then just pay to print it.
Not as good as real art. But better than mass produced.
Don’t be cheap.

It’s fine if your home looks cheap ( regular ) but you have Zero debs!!

Now do something realistic. For people with kids
You’re F’d for the next 15 years at least 😂 and you know it! I’m out the other end now and still cleaning up the mess!
I don’t care if my house looks cheap, I am cheap. And I also won’t be dying on the Walmart floor when i’m employed there at 80 years old.
Your very long promo section made me stop watching your video. Pls cut it shorter next time as it’s quite annoying
Bad lighting also makes people look ugly.
Hey, what’s wrong with boob lights? 😁

That painting and that fake bonsai make your setup look really cheap
What a gratuitously unkind, and cheap remark. What's really bothering you?
Please, would these you tube decorators stop using the term "cheap"!! Perhaps use a positive term for changes instead of negative. Cheap just sounds so ugly and judgemental.
F this. You all keep forcing people to Chavez-DeRemer trends and then you change them. It’s a freaking scam
Using the word “cheap” expresses and even normalizes rudeness in this context.
I frequently see titles of videos that misused the word “expensive”. The videos teach women “How to look expensive.” The correct title should be “How to look wealthy”. Unless a woman charges by the hour she is not striving to “look expensive”. Expensive describes the cost, not a person unless they are for sale by the hour. A plumber in a Rolls Royce can look expensive because they do charge by the hour.
Anyone else getting AI vibes from this? Something about the lighting on the face is giving uncanny valley 😅Great content, regardless!
Okay, can you please stop with all the sales stuff? This is the sponsor; I have a video that can show you how; here take my course; here is a free app. Make a separate video about that and just make the video. It sucks when you have to watch a commercial just to watch more commercials.
Do you work for free? Any idea what it would cost to get this type of advice? lol ….. everyone wants everything for free
What's wrong with generating income??? After all this channel is not a charity.
