Excellent video .Im loving your channel 🙋♀️tx
I love your channel!! I have picked up a few great ideas from you that has helped me live more comfortably in my very small apartment / studio . I bought an island for my kitchen for more cabinet and counter space. I have bought a brand new black leather sofa with legs for that open space underneath the couch to clean and I love it! I am right now putting up curtains in my bedroom and living room. I work over night so I need blackout curtains and I love everything about it! Dark Lighting, comfort and privacy I can’t say enough about how good this makes me feel! I love it! 😍 I have to purge and clean out my house some more I have pieces of furniture that needs to be thrown out to make space just to breathe and feel spacious. I have my closets I have to purge and make space for myself. I love your videos and keep coming back to learn more! Thank you so very much!
Your Video Was Very Informative, Grateful For Your Advise Thank You
❤
Hi Julie- how about ceilings that are 12ft high but the window is only 3 ft tall and set at a normal height? All the empty space above the window to the ceiling, should curtains be placed that high?
Bong on table @ 1:12
Wow, you just sketched my living room exactly including where my sofa is! 😂
Love it 🤍 thanks Julie 😀
If you really love your recliner, don’t get rid of it! You can make it work if it’s a priority
How are these “hacks”?
More small space content please!
thank you so much for this video. I am anxious to try several ideas from this video. Please do another!
How do you make a large room with high ceilings feel smaller and comfortable?
Sorry, not trading comfort for design. Guest don’t live at my house.
Love your tips. I just moved and trying to have it functional and open. Can I send you a few pictures?
Love all the examples , so helpful for the design challenged like myself😊
All legs of all the furniture need to be on a rug. It always looks wonky otherwise. Your furniture can get damaged too with only two legs on…
Julie I have a set of custom drapes that I brought into my new home but the ceilings are 9 foot ceilings and my old place was 8 foot ceilings. Is it possible to use these draperies and not have them go to the very level of the floor.
The rounding was so helpful! I realized the issues I’m having with the living room is everything is square or rectangles and maybe a bit oversized for the space. The wheels are turning now!
Loved the video! It let me know I am on track already! Helps with my drape selection. Thank you, Juli!
Amazing tips, I feel like a pro. I also love your multi-purpose room. It looks like my livingroom too!🤣
so sick of calling a small space 15 is a small space this is not ..
The tips were simple yet genius! I was amazed at how much bigger and brighter my living room felt after implementing these tricks.
My room is impossible to decorate. Very small and all walls are filled with doors.
❤❤❤❤
I had to laugh when you talked about furniture with legs and needing to clean under them. I prefer furniture with legs SO I can clean under them. Otherwise, I’m constantly pulling/pushing the furniture around to clean under or behind it. Dust bunnies make me crazy😂 I do appreciate that furniture either with legs makes my small space feel larger and more open airy.
Love ur presentation.
And good ideas
Always have desk face door feng shui must for wealth would you agree?
Love your videos. However, today the top you’re wearing is catching my eye. Can you share where you got it?
I have light airy curtains in my living room. and I’m going to buy accent chairs with open arms and legs.
I wish you would talk in centimeters and meters sometimes 🙃
Today they delivered my recliner, lol. I love it…
❤❤❤❤❤
Julie – You do a great job and give us practicle ideas!! TY!!
I just came across with your channel, and I’m loving it!! Thanks for your tips and recommendations!!
Great tips and examples! Re: the lazy boy chairs, I’ve seen them in Tiny homes (on wheels). They looked so large & clunky in their small living rooms. But that’s what they wanted so to each their own! I agree w/ you re: lazyboy chairs – remove them esp if the place is small.
Btw, you look great in that blue top. "Winter" colors really suit you. Autumn – not so much. (just my opinion – didn’t mean to offend)
Anyone here living with a sofa that you KNOW is the wrong size for your living room? 🙋🏼♀️ What’s your biggest challenge when designing your small space?
When will you give country western ideas 💡? Please
I really liked the large rug suggestion ..thank you for the help.
How do you deal with a offset window
I hoped you would make a video like this, it was so helpful. I want to buy new living room furniture, but struggle to figure out size and scale. My home is 1173 sq feet and open concept. I only have three walls in what would be the considered the living room area, the tv wall, picture window that looks out into my front yard, and the entry way wall adjacent to the front door, with my kitchen open to the other side. I want to design the space around the two focal points (tv and picture window). My couch currently sits against the window so I’m staring straight into my kitchen and watching tv from a side view which I hate.
I’d love a small L-shaped sectional that would face both focal points and create defined walkways between the kitchen and entryway, but I’m afraid my small living area will look too crowded, and I’m unsure about height. I think I’m going to have to call in the professionals.
You look super beautiful in this video.i am alittle late to the party ❤😊
so helpful, as always. Right now, the one big thing I could do is change out my big, square coffee table for an oval one that’s smaller in scale.
😊Thank you for this very helpful ideas Julie😊
06:55 bro even made his interior design match with his dog
Do you still help out with layouts of awkward spaces😅
Good advice. Would like more on small spaces/ townhomes please.
great ideas love the black wall
do you have any tips for small appt but a husband with lots of tools and wood stuff?
Thank you miss julie for sharing this video 😍🙏 I have a small living room the middle of window wall and stair wall a rectangular shape 6ft wide. Can you give me an advice, what style of sofa much better in my living room? 🙏 thank you 🥰 and more video to share ☺️ god bless 😍
Hi Julie! I love your content! I am thinking about placing a tall metal and glass book shelf in front of a window. Is this an appropriate thing to do?
