[@katiebeantown7355]

I feel like my mind just expanded! I have always been frustrated with my lack decorating skills, despite my high level of interest. I am looking around at my home now and it’s like you highlighted exactly what needs to be changed! I can do this. TY!!!!

[@elwood393]

One principle I think is really important (that dovetails with Scale) is Visual Weight. Making sure that the furniture and decor you use have appropriate visual weight REALLY helps! Visual weight is a product of factors such as size and color (and even pattern). For instance, bold colors are interpreted by the brain as visually heavier. Knowing this will help you maintain balance among your furniture and objects. A lazy boy is going to look heavier than a traditional chaise. Generally, it’s a good practice to stick to one area of the spectrum (e.g. it’s not recommended to decorate with both a delicately framed chaise and a chunky lazy boy in the same space). : )

[@valeriearagon2019]

I tried your idea and rearranged my room. Now I have to patch picture hanging holes, rehang pictures and get a bigger rug. I’m so close to perfection. And I had so much fun! But my husband is cursing you. Hahaha. I am not following your tips to be stylish but because the room just is so much I believe the room is now much more comfortable and inviting. I am following your tips. It makes the space more comfortable and it took me one evening to do it. I think we will get a bigger rug because once I see your tips everything is so obvious. It makes really great sense and your pictures are also really awesome. I feel like I see everyone’s space now differently. Thanks a ton!

[@dorisdepinar21]

I absolutely love learning tricks and tips about decorating! It's my favorite thing. The moment you said 57 inches to the middle of the picture I got up and went to measure!! Yay! I was pleasantly surprised!! Thanks for sharing!

[@shoiley005]

Great tips! To add on, I've found that adding a circular mirror above any small piece of furniture (nightstand, dresser, entryway table, short bookshelf) helps "finish" the space!

[@aprilsecondchapter]

Thanks for the tips. I'm gonna have to measure all my pictures now to 57"! And you've inspired me to keep the same color palette throughout the house. Keep on with your talent. You're inspiring and informative.

[@imjustdoingmybest6236]

@@alohaleslie9407 I hope so! It looks so dated and just so weird. Pillows are supposed to look soft and fluffy and chopping them makes them look sharp and dense.

[@LadyLoriBeautyOver50]

This is just one person‘s opinion but I do NOT like the “karate-chop” look on pillows. I’ve raised my children and have grandchildren, and it looks like they were either playing on my bed or messing around on my couch (when I see a karate-chop pillow), and I wanna walk over and fluff it back up.🤷🏻‍♀️🙀 ••• I don’t 100% dislike it but I just think it looks unkept and Messy!! But other than that; I love your ideas and I have learned a lot from them so thank you for all the fresh ideas...👻👻 Take care, stay healthy and be well 🧡🎃🤍👻🧡

[@Kaththee]

I fluff then chop.

[@gabyrocha9418]

I don't like it either. Looks like little cats.

I love the karate chopped look on pillows. Makes them look full cozy and stylish. Loved the design ideas. I want to try some in my home....💃💃💃

[@aprylburtchin5178]

Thank you for this! How do you recommend styling a wall over a couch with a cathedral ceiling? The 57” guideline doesn’t quite fit, although the bottom row of my arrangement is close to 57”. I took my arrangement much higher because of my ceiling.

[@MilenaR6]

Apryl Burtchin I was wondering the same...it’s really hard to try to make things look good with tall ceilings and is not very common to find decorative ideas that help

Love your videos! I had a quite cohesive pallette in my home while decorating when it was newer. After the first 10 to 12 years then more gray and white schemes were trending and I tried to incorporate some of this, but it was not working well. I can not afford to change entire decor and am now making small changes in keeping with my original richer fall color pallette and going a bit more with nuetrals and greens with a touch of rust. This seems to be trending now with some of the paint companies. Seems the trends are cycling back to what I originally had!
