My biggest problem is that I have a hard time buying individual items that form a nice cohesive look together in the end. I buy items because I like them and the color scheme or design theme matches the look I’m going for, but they end up not looking good together (too different) or are too monotonous. I can’t find a good middle ground where the visual is cohesive rather than cluttery.
@LifeLostSoul4 жыл бұрын
I really think she should make an entire video on this topic alone with lots of visual aids. Because I think she didn't necessarily get into some of the things that can help items go together, when they are individual pieces. Like how a rattan chair could probably fit in any style room but looking for the right shape and style of chair, and then how that chair is styled is really going to effect if it feels minimal or extravagant.
@cmjb61184 жыл бұрын
LifeLostSoul Yes! It’s so hard to understand why you can buy things that feel like they should go together and look good and that you really like, but then you step back to take a look at the big picture, and it just seems like a bunch of things thrown together in a room, versus looking like a “whole”.

I would love to see free/extremely low cost ways to fix these. Many of these “mistakes” are just what people do when they’re starting out and can’t afford new light fixtures or get a good deal on a furniture set/their parents’ old stuff. I am too old for this channel 🤣 and decades beyond those days, but I don’t think people who have matching nightstands with matching lamps should feel like they have to run to ikea and buy something - there are lots of creative ways to punch up what you already have and make it look less matchy starter home. I also think buying second hand is a great way to get stylish pieces that fit all these recommendations - I still have a coffee table I got used in 2004 and I adore it, and it has had to go from my broke studio apartment to mid century styled apartment of neutrals to my lighter and more lively current home via trays, runners, books, and other styling to make it not seem so heavy and dark. (It’s lacquered wood, so I don’t want to paint it.) I have a large white tray on it right now, and I have two other dark rectangular pieces around my open living/dining area to balance it...and everything else is white and clear spring tones bc that’s what complements my coloring. Talked too much here, bye 🤣

I too am "too old for this channel" and totally agree with all of this as it reflects my own experience and that of the majority of most of my friends and family. Tbh I think that this probably made us very creative and our homes 'unique' by default. White or magnolia walls or someone else's hideous wallpaper/carpet were just what you had to work with-and were usually stuck with as a renter. And definitely why I would never choose white paint now. This channel has become very 'samey'- I've already unsubscribed and need to stop watching- the gushing comments on Alexandra being sone kind of 'genius' are really starting to grate. As lovely as she is she isn't reinventing the wheel- humans were decorating their homes even when dinosaurs were clomping about outside. Up-cycling and thrifting are nothing new either. There is absolutely nothing wrong with being an enthusiastic amateur/hobbyist but the fact Alexandra actually calls herself a decor 'expert' is ridiculous. Using 'statement' light shades does not an expert make. A couple of interior designer friends learned about the history and application of design and functionality regarding furniture, textiles, lighting and working with different architectural styles etc, etc during their training. They most definitely wouldn't be working if they failed to meet their client's needs. Most people never engage the services of interior designers anyway as we're perfectly capable of doing it ourselves.

Sometimes even when you turn off the breaker you can have a live wire (especially in older places like mine), and he told me it saved his butt a bunch of times.

Here's another area rug trick. In small spaces, choose a rug not based on the decor in the the room but based on the color of the floor. For example, I decorated a basement family room that had a polished epoxied concrete floor. It was "copper" which really was orange (it was actually beautiful). I needed a fairly small rug for a seating grouping but didn't want to "chop up" the room with that rug, so I ordered a rug that had gradations of orange. It was different than the floor but it didn't stand out in sharp contrast either. This worked well. On the other hand, in a large space where you want to cozy up an expanse, a rug in a contrasting color to the floor can be the ticket to create definition.

That "off-the-wall" tip was great! And the layers tip. I'd love to see a video that goes through the process of moving in and what steps to take FIRST in making things fresh or personal. We're hoping to find our first house soon and I know I want to start making it personal right away. I made the mistake of never really personalizing our apartment because I knew we wouldn't be here for a long but now I'm wishing I did! Especially with your balcony video. It would have been inexpensive and made the apartment so much more of a home. And of course I'm only noticing because we've been in quarantine! But yes, I'd love to see a process video of some sort. Like, "Where to start decorating your space." Is paint first? Should you start with the kitchen or bathroom. Do you make a checklist of things that could be improved like lights or cabinets? Like we've moved in, stuff in boxes, we glance around our new home, where do we start?

I'm probably not your typical subscriber. My hubby and I have owned four homes, three of which we had built. The last, our current home, we were the contractors. We made all the design decisions. My Mom loved to decorate. She always allowed me to do my own thing, so I've always been confident in my choices. I would say I probably have at least two and half times your age in experience decorating. 😀 With all that experience, I can say that your tips are GREAT not only for newbies, but those that have never felt comfortable decorating and aren't sure where to start. The only thing I'd add at this point, as I'm sure you'll do more of these videos, is they should not be afraid to try something new or something that they "think" other's won't like.

I have a hard time not trying to match things. I think I make my best decisions when I really like something (it's special) or a color that pops etc....

I'm very confused by the whole personality side of things when most of the fruniture you makeover with its ordered from online or Ikea :/ why not thrift if you care about personalizing a space?

Just because something is mass produced does not mean it doesn't fit your personality.

@@andreas_adventures if your personality is Ikea and big box supply store you got a poor personality :/ its just the wrong use of the word there is nothing personally special about an Ikea lamp used in everyone's makeover. I like these rooms but lets not pretend this is at all going for anything unique.
