[@BalanceRhythm]

Hi Everyone! I hope you enjoyed this video on five things we should avoid to create more harmony in your interior design. I'd love to hear your thougths on these ideas! ❤Liz

I added texture in the bedroom by (simply) using linen bedding. It contrasts nicely with the smooth finishing of the furniture.

[@BalanceRhythm]

Yes! This is a great move and linen has such a natural look and feel. ~Liz

One of the rare videos that shows interior design in motion. Out of all the youtube designers I've checked out, your video has the highest percentage of creating rather than close-ups of the designer narrating a list of dos & dont's. Thank you!

Hi Cheryl! It's my pleasure. Thanks so much for watching and letting me know you like the format! ~Liz

Agree

[@MaryPatLevitt]

Great examples of not going too matchy-matchy.

I really love how relaxing it is to see your videos, hear your voice explaining everything shown in short words and with just the perfect amount of gentle music. Thank you so much. It really helps understanding those principles and your tipps how to achieve what is desired. ❤

This is one I will watch several times over. Thank you so much!!! My eyes tend to glaze over when design principles are discussed but your photos really helped me to “get it”.

Nice. One of more original assemblage. You have grouped decorating points that many others have not. Will be looking forward to more.

I always add touches of black to a room, really pulls it together 👍🏼

[@BalanceRhythm]

Hi Kathryn! Yes, it really does. I love black accents. ~Liz

Hi Lydia! Thanks so much. Sometimes it's hard to pinpoint what it is when something just feels off. I'm glad you found it helpful! ~Liz

[@janicesztabnik5471]

Love how you explain and instruct, super helpful. Do you offer design consults? Thanks!

[@BalanceRhythm]

Hi Janice! Thank you so much! I'm so happy it's helpful to you. I don't currently have a formal process for doing remote consults. If you have a question that I can answer fairly easily, you can ask it here in the comments. If it's a more involved process, send me a message (address in the About tab) and we can work something out for a remote consult. ~Liz

[@kimmacquarrie2726]

Thank you I will use these suggestions .

Hi Kim! It's my pleasure. Let me know how it goes. ~Liz

"Balance and Rhythm" is the hardest thing to accomplish, especially in a very small room. This is a great video, but I still need more help with this. How about creating a video showing a space that is unbalanced, then adding elements to that same space, showing how you would balance it out? I think this would help me learn to see the unbalance, (sometimes you know it's off but don't know why) then see exactly how you would bring it into balance. Your house is beautiful and you probably have some spaces you could use to demonstrate this.

[@BalanceRhythm]

Thanks for the great video suggestion! ~Liz

[@homeandgardendiy6363]

I would also greatly appreciate a video like Life Soul Centered suggested. Really enjoyed this video, too! New sub. 🙂

[@texasstardust6010]

....Yes, I agree.... there's not enough attention paid to small spaces, or how to actually " remedy the issue "....too many of these Channels show huge rooms, expertly styled rather than the Real Life of a majority of people......which is why I don't " Subscribe " .......

[@karennolen3105]

Love your content & advice! If you have small windows and a high ceiling is there a distance that is “too high” to hang curtains? If windows are 7 ‘ tall but celling height 11’? That’s leaves a lot of blank wall that is draped in between ceiling & window.

[@BalanceRhythm]

Thank you! I'm so happy you're enjoying the content. Hanging curtains high is a great trick for making your windows appear taller too. Go high by hanging them about 6" from the ceiling. If the blank wall space bothers you, you can add a shade behind the curtains hung at the same height to give even more of an illusion of height.

Hello and thank you for the video. Can you please tell me where the black, round nesting coffee tables can be found? They are seen at the 3:38 mark in your texture section? Thank you

[@BalanceRhythm]

Hi there! It's my pleasure. Thanks so much for watching. The image you're referring to is a stock image so I don't know the manufacturer of that particular table but I did find a similar one at Crate&Barrel. It's just one table that comes in only one size though. Here's the name and the link: Tom Charcoal Three-Legged Coffee Table by Leanne Ford rstyle.me/+KGbH3ZHy0ZlqjlaCBcT1Jg. If I can find the exact one I'll let you know. ~Liz

Thank you very much for your reply. I really appreciate it.

What is the music? I like the bass!

[@BalanceRhythm]

That piece is called Night Shifts by Jones Meadow, available on Epidemic Sound.

[@mariahmione4563]

Would a large piece of art balance against an oversized (family size) bed? I’m trying to think of what would balance such a large piece of furniture

[@BalanceRhythm]

Hi Mariah! Do you mean a piece of artwork hung over the bed? If so, you could do a piece or several pieces that are about 2/3 to 3/4 the width of the bed. This brand has an example of how that could work: taylorandwells.com/the-family-bed/. Just make sure it's safe to hang art there i.e., are you in an earthquake area or do you have little ones that like to use the bed as a trampoline? Depending on how much additional space you have you can also balance with a substantial furniture piece, a tree or some large artwork elsewhere in the room. ~Liz

Great advice and nice examples. One small critique: you sound like you are reading from a script. A little more conversational tone would make this piece perfect.

[@BalanceRhythm]

I'm glad you liked the content. Thanks for the tip on delivery. I'll work on that! ~Liz

[@ny3683syr]

Your videos are nice, but move a bit too quickly for me. I need more time for my eyes to wander around the images while relating the concepts as you're discussing them.

[@BalanceRhythm]

Thanks so much for letting me know. I’ll review the pacing to see if I can slow things down a bit. ~Liz
