[@homefreshalicious]

Great tips as always! Thanks again Kristen! Have a wonderful week!❤

[@MrsKelly-pc3sg]

Kristen I just love what you do!!! So talented! Appreciate all of your tips. My mum is like you. I wish I had that gene 🧬! I’m just not savvy that way. Appreciate your videos thank you!❤

[@shopwithjen]

Love it. Great tips!!! 🎉❤

[@kathyorourke9273]

Thrifting has provided me with much better furniture and decor than I could ever have purchased new. Makes me so happy.

[@mschenandlerbong8539]

Seriously. I'm so glad I learned to thrift furniture. Could never afford what it goes for new.

[@alliejones9864]

Completely agree, I have also bought from Auctions and sold for much more enabling to buy something else I’ve wanted for our home.

[@rickyloftin2968]

Omg the pillowcase hack is genius, that empty flap at the end is my biggest peeve

[@Lyndaragirl78]

I’m really intrigued by the flooring idea of adding more color to that reddish flooring. It looked AMAZING!!! I NEVER would have thought of adding MORE of that same color would have actually worked!!! LOVED IT!!!!! 💕💕💕💕💕.

[@juliemarkham4332]

I really like the idea of a mural wallpaper framed out with trim. Thanks for sharing!

[@ijeomao.4847]

I probably get more quality hacks and information from you than I get from any other home decor KZbinr. Thank you!

[@Androgynary]

Love that you provided unique styling ideas that aren’t just the typical ones that everyone always regurgitates!

[@susanfindell6154]

I LOVE the idea of enhancing something you don’t like to make it seem intentional, genius! 99%of the things in my home are thrifted, I absolutely love to thrift for everything. I have a zero threshold shower, I love it. I feel like a professional 😊

[@annwalker8907]

This was a home run. I appreciate that it’s not the same ideas I’ve heard over and over. Framing peel and stick wall paper is the most genius idea. Thank you❤

[@carriefortner1675]

I love thrifting antique artwork - sometimes it's just the frame and sometimes is the whole thing. Antique paintings are the best find. 🙂

[@blueburytreasurelaurabrown8482]

The pillow case idea is awesome, I was just trying to deal with that same issue in our guest room, this trick will make it look so much better. I really love your idea for adding more of the thing you don’t like…..I just love,love, your ideas and videos. Thank you so much!

[@britneymarsh6320]

Right? Actually never thought of that. Crazy how something so simply can make such a huge difference!

[@johnsscarlette]

Yes, that was a great idea for the pillow covers, wish I had known about this before I sewed mine smaller. My husband was always comparing about the overhang, so I cut them down and sewed them. He is much happier, but now I know to just fold them in!

[@leannwolford5123]

"You just fold it in. Fold in the pillowcase."

[@leahannwhite1111]

@2:40 I *really* LOVE the peel and stick framed wallpaper mural. That's the BEST idea I've seen in a while! ❤

[@roselynecorazoneaquino9467]

I’m moving to Nairobi from New York and I appreciate these tips. The wallpaper trick is great!

[@ijeomao.4847]

Nice!

[@VEE_OKELLO]

Welcome to Nairobi am an interior designer in Nairobi 😊

[@fitbeaut609]

My country 😍😭

[@arlenehansen6026]

Girl I have been watching you for 30 days now . I really love how you use the earthy and minimalistic colors yet make everything look so cozy, welcoming, timeless yet some nice pieces that look like they’ve have some history Boy I could use your help in getting my place whipped together . I have watched many of your videos and gleaning from them. Still harder than it sounds . I am Having a hard time with our small home odd space

[@_zagenta]

Kristen, Please consider doing a video on hw we can modernize old furniture Eg: classic wooden dressing table Giving a new and modern look to classical tiled counter tops and back splash

[@theresarathell4686]

Never have I ever thought to do the envelope pillow,awesome!

[@juberoma2429]

The throw blankets used for cushion covers - what a great idea!!!💕🙂💕

[@sarawakstudio1111]

Frame a wallpaper as an art-piece... that's a good one. Great tips, thanks for sharing 😊

[@Cherrysmith2809]

I liked the idea of leaning in to an element you may not like on its own, but once you tie it in, it looks intentional and high end. Your example was brilliant! ❤

[@lorifisher5568]

I love your videos… So helpful! I thrift a lot, always picking up large canvas and pottery to redesign. Painting pottery with a simple mixture of baking soda and flat paint adds texture, and painting over a canvas is relatively easy and very inexpensive!!!

[@leahannwhite1111]

@8:42 painters tape for wall space placeholders in planning is Awesome, too! 👍💕

[@ayd793]

OMG Kristen...just tried your pillow hack...worked like magic...I'm your fan for life...please keep the videos coming ❤

[@gerrimcgrath6878]

Love when kitties make appearances 😻 I like the way you styled the throws on the chair and couch. I want to do some kind of “styling with my storage bench in the bedroom.

[@AMcDub0708]

I was gonna say “just alter/sew the pillow case smaller, but wow!! That hack was SO quick and looks SO GOOD, why waste the time and effort lugging out the sewing machine?!? I love that hack!!

[@SophiaRubrecht]

I'm amazed by the insights shared in this video. It's like having an interior design expert guide you through the process of transforming your space. From maximizing lighting to arranging furniture, these secrets are invaluable for creating a stylish and functional home. Kudos.

[@L_i_o_n_e_s_s]

Kristen, I absolutely love how you seamlessly incorporate sponsorships into your videos 🙂

[@susanbon5014]

You have helped me so much with making my home look and feel beautiful and comfortable. I truly appreciate all the advice, information and tips! Thank you for making your videos 😊

[@paulinebennett6244]

Love your idea on framing wallpaper great idea, I will be doing this

[@_zagenta]

Thx fr all the tips, Kristen! Frm the day I've strted following you, my house is looking so much better. Being a South Asian it's quite difficult to find similar decor pieces, but your tips have come in extremely handy. Love your videos ❤

[@athomewithpearl]

I love all these design tips. I love that you mentioned about “using or work with what you have”. We just bought a house and the entire downstairs has a good quality hardwood floors which is good. The problem is the color. We plan to maybe refinish it someday, but for now I just have to learn to work with it. And thanks for that particular design tip to use similar finish with decors to make it look intentional. I love that ! And I just subscribed to your channel for more!❤

[@debbiepatterson6365]

What a great hack for making your pillowcase fit! Thanks Kristen! 🇨🇦

[@stephaniebarrett8057]

Love your style Kristen! You have inspired me in so many ways! Thank you!

[@DevorahTafus]

I really enjoy your videos so much, especially the designer secrets. I've learned a lot from them. Thank you!

[@TheGfury5]

I love the leaning into a feature idea. I've done it when replacing my carpet. I have many walnut furniture pieces so using an LVP flooring with several hues allowed me to keep the furniture and modernize the space simultaneously. Love your channel and your ideas. I also took your advice about several kinds of lighting.

[@luvtheseguys]

Someday I will have my own home and I want to hire you to decorate it. I just love your style!!❤

[@PaulDustin]

This video on interior design secrets is a lifesaver! I'm no design guru, but these 10 hacks are simple yet brilliant. Tried a couple in my living room, and now it looks like it came out of a home decor magazine. Highly recommend!

[@RobynnWylie]

Thank you for the amazing tips! Definitely useful tips that make an impact. I love thrifting for decor items and it's all about the treasure hunt.

[@carpiediem2]

The "using what you already have if unable to spend to change it" is spot on! When I moved into my current house, the living room was green. At the time, I had minimal money to make changes to the decor and decided it was "liveable" whilst other rooms needed immediate updates. Green has never been my interior colour of choice, but low and behold, green became the trending colour so I was able to accessorise it really well to the point I've added accents to my bedroom and will do to my daughter's room to tie them altogether.

[@janithmathews4195]

Kristen, your home is gorgeous. I love the way you have it decorated and I love your color scheme. What color is the paint in the room where you filmed this video. Also what color is the trim.

[@marie6187]

Hi Kristen thank you for all the tips Amazing! Could you please tell me what paint colours are used in your home ? LOVE!

[@sharkbros.9278]

Hands down, you are my fave home design channel. Bravo!

[@MatthiasBlankenhaus]

I loved the insights from this interior design video. The styling secrets were presented in a way that felt accessible to anyone, and the examples shown were inspiring. I've already used some of these hacks in my own space, and the results are fantastic.

[@nina_6789]

Love your pillowcase hack! Also love your hack #2, I always tried to hide something I dislike instead of adding more of it to make it look intentional. That’s thinking outside of the box!

[@M148G-ys1ku]

My fave is the three for the table setting I love love love it 😍

[@nelvassileva]

Hello Kristen! Can you show us the electric blinds from this video and how we can introduce them to our space? Thank you!

[@wilhelmina8843]

Your outfits from ThredUp are so cute. I thought that about the dress before you showed us all the outfits. That sleeveless, loose turtleneck was adorable! Casual but dressed up.

[@WondersNeverCease]

Happy Sunday Kristen ❤ I love all of these ideas!

[@rachellepoirier3695]

10 seconds in, and I'm already hooked by the pillowcase hack.❤

[@MyFocusVaries]

Thanks for the great tips! I love thrifting. I mostly browse now, since I'm a minimalist, but if I need a new vase or picture frame, the thrift store is my first stop.

[@moniquevieira-huestis8114]

I love thrifting! It’s Amazing what you can find if you don’t mind digging/treasure hunting.

[@lauro.dominici]

It's so relaxing I can't stop watching it!!

[@elizabethwright4784]

❤ everything & your style! White dresses come in handy when wedding planning!💐

[@amz617]

I thrift for literally everything from furniture to clothes, to jewelry! You can find such cool things at the thrift stores!

[@margui6224]

Thank you for the advice, Kristen. Love the idea on how to fit a pillow cover perfectly.

[@DevorahTafus]

Kristin, what do you do with gifts people give you, that don't quite go with your decor? Do you try to use them anyway, or do you get rid of them immediately?

[@MyFocusVaries]

I follow the advice of the Minimal Mom on this. Your obligation ends after you have graciously thanked the gift giver. After that, the item is yours to do with what you choose, including passing it on to someone who will love and use it. (The gift giver can just assume the item is in use in an unseen part of your house, if they even think of it afterwards.)

[@hopenfaith5744]

Hi Kristen 👋 thank you for these designer styling tips! These were great! Can you please do one on kitchen and bedroom? These tips are really going to help me! Love watching you ❤

[@theunspoken743]

Would love advice on how to style different wood tones in a home such as light oak with dark woods. As well as how to style large dinning tables :)

[@missrachelrue]

Looove the pillow case hack

[@Intellect3544]

Could you please do a video on how to go about with peel and stick mural wallpaper? Is it easy to remove without damaging the wall? I have a wall that needed to be cover. Thanks Kristen ❤

[@pennylaughlin1757]

Loved the video ….but that white Boho dress is 🔥💥❤️‍🔥

[@alisonsmith7162]

Jave our son's 21st soon, so getting all my drink dispensers, divided trays, drink trays etc from thrift stores (op shops here in Australia).

[@asayy2450]

Love the creativity with the throw blanket placements. I just put mine across the foot of the bed but will try these now

[@Mehrinfarooq]

Hi Kristen! Love all of your ideas - I especially love the paint color that’s in your back drop - can you share which one it is

[@pamelaruhaak182]

I just love watching your videos! I've already made some changes in my home using your ideas😊

[@angellestone9160]

Thrifting is such a fun and economical way to style a space. I am excited to try your large art work idea as I have a big wall to fill.

[@captivapbc]

I thrift home decor, clothes and furniture! Thrifting is my JAM Love it! . I do like to shop well on a small budget. Now, my space and outfits do not look like yours but I try. Lol. You make it look so easy. You give wonderful inspiration and my space has definitely leveled up with the help of my fav you tubers sharing there knowledge. 😉☺️. Thank you!

[@debrahayes3778]

As always, well done, Kristen. Really like the idea of mural wallpaper trimmed out and sight lines from one room to another created with lamp placement. Your ideas are so fresh compared to the repetitive stuff on some other channels. Many thanks! ❤

[@NoseyFloridaGirl]

That second tip is a game changer! Great video!

[@anaserraz]

Great tips. I’ve loved previously love items since I was a child. Love estate sales and thrift shops long before it was so trendy!

[@arule2share888]

I love the mural wallpaper idea. I have very textured walls, so while adhering wallpaper directly to the wall may not work, using a panel to create the same look might do the trick. Thank you for the tip!

[@barbedor]

Thanks for your precious advises. You’re always so nice and generous 🌺

[@csmith4484]

Thanks for the decor items, always love your videos. And love your outfits you got! SO cute!!

[@RomiNa-wo6mu]

Awesome! You always havea tip that others don't, and is new

[@joannchaloux5169]

I think the continuous flooring would make my master bathroom looks so much bigger. When we get around to removing the garden tub and replacing it with a walk-in shower, I would like to do the flooring truck you suggested.

[@ritasmith481]

Thanks dear for these ideas which are really helpful in decorating a house. I love the pillow hack very much.

[@rosi9944]

Thank you Kristen for sharing all the decoration tips like a pro. I wish I can find all the fabulous clothes that you find on thred up 😍. I will definitely will look at your favorites, wish me luck finding something nice for this fall in my size 😉

[@lisamedeiros7581]

Love your viedos! Love the pillow case idea, all these ideas are great! I like thriting everything, manly things around the house

[@lenadali248]

Hey Kristin. I gave you thumb up always. I watched many videos when I started my house and trust me, totally changed many ideas and adopt somehow your vision of doing things. The house is fabulous and everybody asked who is the designer. Thanks you so much. A person loves his job always makes a difference in people’s life.

[@christinekeleher3578]

Such a great idea to bring more. I would have never thought of that.

[@elviemendoza3753]

It's one of my favorite videos. I'm in the process of having a home built, so I'm saving this one to use. Thanks always show a few examples of what you're talking about. Can't wait to see your next video.

[@norafl2821]

Kristen! I loved, loved 💗 this video, now I know what to do with an empty wall that has a high ceiling! Thanks 😊

[@grisespino5342]

Thrift vases, pottery and art. Loved all 3 of your outfits. Never thought of going with the flow and adding more of a feature I can't change as a renter🤔

[@TheSushmaHomeSellingTeam]

The effectivity of these tips will be manifested when applied. Can't wait to try them soon. 😍😍

[@melaniemiles8734]

Thanks for the wall paper idea as mural 😊

[@smokeynspike]

I ❤ the idea of the wallpaper as framed art! I'm off to find some for above my couch after being frustrated for years as I have not found exactly what I wanted for 11:46 the long space there. Thanks!

[@lolasalesmoore236]
