Don’t buy art from homesense…. It’s still mass produced. Buy art from your local artist or try making it yourself!
‘Boob lights’ aren’t a thing in the UK – they actually look vintage and stylish. 🤔
I do and I am getting rid of them
I just moved my bed haha so much better!!
All of the twinkle lights and tapestries actually looked amazing.
Yooh there are so old, getting rid of them
I love adding lighting with small little white lights – it’s still cool to me.
I detest nipple lights. I do not have any in my home bc I took them all out!
About shoes…most house layouts are so bad, that you have this to y slim corridor next to the door and can’t afford even 10 cm deep IKEA shoes cabinet. Never can understand why people keep buying such houses?
I look around my space, and realize most everything I have tells a story. It’s been cobbled together over the years into a collection that just WORKS. Much of it was given to me by loved ones, and much of it is handmade. I have many quality pieces from second- hand stores, but most of it was free. Lots of light, color, and healthy, happy plants round out my cozy home. Visitors seem very comfortable. It’s uniquely me, and, to me, this makes it good design.
A tapestry could be framed in any material and colour to add richness to your decor. Great tips for everyone.
What if your bedroom is small? Can I put dresser in another room ?
Thanks from İstanbul Türkiye
Can you share some links to your favorite boob light replacement options?
Boob lights. Definitely changing those out as well as the ugly granny lights on my ceiling fan!
Hi Kristen! just subscribed and loving your videos. Today I learned I have boob lights! oh no! they are going this weekend!
No boob lights here! 😂
I have those lights in my hallways uggh
10 reasons interior designers give “bougie” elitist advice…..just saying!! People do what the hell you want it’s your home.
HAPPY SUNDAY EVERYONE! Are you making any of these design mistakes in your home?! 🙋🏼♀️ I know I have!!

FURNITURE AWAY from the WALLS is the best tip you gave. Very few decorators do this. Thank you. I’ve even seen a queen bed planted in the centre of a bedroom. The head board served as a backside aginst the dresser, which in turn created a dressing area. It was closest to the window so it got good light. And the bed area remained a bit darker. VERY Cool! Personally ALL of my one-room home is decorated / divided up by having all the furnishings are away from the walls and centered down the room’s length. You can see lots of wall-to-floor, making the place feel larger and airier. It has flow.
I’ve been binging on your videos since 2021 started, they are amazingly satisfying
LOL!!! At the moon lights….yes, my hubby and I are new home owners and these lights are everywhere! We are slowly changing them out to more modern pieces from Arhaus.
Will be replacing our boob lights lol! Thank you~I’ve never been too crazy about them!
I don’t have the boob lights as I was able to pick out all of ,y own lights.
Boob lights are from the 2010s. They are supposed ro be reminiscent of the 1920’s. I love boob lights bc i am going for a craftsman look.
Keep the bedroom sets together! Living room is a different story, mix and match
Yessss no more tapestries 2022!!!!
Nope!! made a black steel pipe light fixture made home is 1st built 1924
Absolutely no boob lights in my home!
I got that kind of light!
Does the tile in the entry way have to match the tile on the fireplace hearth?
I DO NOT have boob lights in my home and couldn’t be happier about it😁
what about 2nd hand. Not buying new is the way to go to mitigate climate change. we in the west are very big consumers and we should encourage reuse.
The cord thing…ugh. Thanks for the reminder. I tend to forget they’re there.
For art I love to blow up my children’s drawings and have them framed.
💜
I love the advice and great ideas for my Florida home ?? Blues n greys and it was a model home so I’m trying to redo some of it ! Thank you and love your decorating professional ideas AWESOME 👏🏼 LOVE
Mixmatched isn’t even a word 🙄
Can I hire you to design my house
She knows her stuff!
I like your ideas! Small rugs are my mistakes…..
Rug on a rug… Yeah, no! Yuck.
Hi Kristen !! I think your channel is geared for newer to mid new homes. Not that it is bad ! as I said before my home 1924 getting total industrial make over. with real hardwood floors. keep up the good tips.
lol we call them boob lights too!
Great tips, I subbed❤️
I was with her until the last part… lights can be very tasteful in a home done the right way! But great tips tho!
How do I make my home look like it’s filled with food and water and other essential items that will be a lot more important than this once the economy crashes and neighbors are attacking each other and the army is in the streets
thank you so much. I learned a lot from this video. my house is almost done and waiting to get fully furnished. I’ll apply your tips once the interior design start to process.
What about renter friendly can lighting changes ?
