Decor Items No One Should Live Without

[@nailguncrouch1017]

Can't live without books, I have antique ones for decorating, and beloved ones for reading.

[@susanfreeman6350]

I’m not even a dog person, but I love the way you cuddle your “babies.” I have to agree with another commenter that you pretty much have the perfect KZbin recipe: humor, knowledge, relatability, and you’re impossibly cute to top it off.

[@GarrettLeChic]

Wow, thank you Susan!

[@avonleap.edwards7458]

He just seems to be a good person with a kind heart. You can see how loving he is with his puppies. I also find him smart, logical, classy and funny. I like that he actually studied home decor, and you can tell he knows his stuff.

[@emilyomara2533]

Garrett I love how you incorporate budget and environmentally friendly tips into your design advice without making it all about just that. Haven’t found anyone else who can pull that off quite like you!

[@GarrettLeChic]

Thanks so much! I guess we are all unique in our own way, and I just try to provide as much information in a fun and non-judgmental way to help people.

[@elizabethrichards2085]

Albert is definitely the reason that I subscribed immediately subscribed, when I first found your channel, Garrett. I liked your obviously decorating expertise, but in that first video I viewed, Albert dropped by, and your care for your darling little "special friend" made it obvious that you were a truly caring individual, and that sealed the deal.

[@GarrettLeChic]

Welcome to the channel Elizabeth! It's great to have you as part of our very valued subscriber family! We feel it is an honor and a privilege to have Albert as a part of our family. He's an inspiration and a hero. We love him so much, and his brothers do too. They respect him. :)

"Save the things you love and enjoy, even if they´re not the most trendy or popular thing." Thank you for this very good advice! I definitely can't live without my antique brass fixtures and opal glass shades...these are so out of style I can't even remember the last time they were trendy. I LOVE opal glass, these lights are so beautiful!

[@GarrettLeChic]

You're so welcome!

[@ophilianecr]

Oh yes! Opal glass is very pretty! Brass is not ever going to be out of use in home fixtures, i think. But things seem to be more clean and streamlined than the ornate fixtures and hardware of previous decades. Besides, quality never goes out of style, and having authentic heirlooms is more special than up to date decor. By all means enjoy your unique, lovely opal glass! 💜

[@michelleo.685]

Can't live without baskets, they're the best catch-all to keep my home tidy.

[@shawndory1859]

Because of this channel I have never loved my home more. It is totally my style but elevated!

[@GarrettLeChic]

Wow, thank you!

[@slowcrochet]

Antiques and family heirlooms are most of what I grew up around. With the passing of a generation, I inherited a lot, so the tradition continues. Not every piece is kept "just because" it belonged to someone, but the sense of connection coupled with quality and curation is what makes home for me. I wouldn't want it any other way.

[@shelleyjacobs2563]

One of my must-have Essentials are battery operated lights and candles. My house lights up like a Christmas tree around 4 every evening. And in the spring when the electricity goes out in the storms I'm the only one that has lights. And I love antique books

[@wisteria808]

Blue and white. Classic and eternally beautiful!

[@GarrettLeChic]

Agreed! :)

[@cs4849]

Loved this! I’m a lamp person, too. And yes to real, unpainted wood furniture! I think the decor I can’t live without is things from travels. When I look around and see the woven box I brought back from Italy or the wall hanging from Argentina or the carved wooden animals from Tanzania or even the photos of Iceland and Ireland in the bathroom, I get to relive some of the best moments of my life.

[@GarrettLeChic]

Love that!

[@theweatherisaokay4964]

Love when you bring Albert sometimes on your video, such a calm and lovely one.

[@isabelledoumeng6144]

Traditional Rugs (Persian mostly), green plants, vintage mirrors, lamps (I'm obsessed with lamps), artwork, blue and white china (hehe), white bed linen, oversized blankets, silverware, brass ware and orchids. I have one orchid which is 22 years old. I am so in love with it. Ohh and books. Lots of them.

[@dawnhall5318]

Thank you!! Thank you for saying family pictures are ok. I think you are the only one that has said that.

[@GarrettLeChic]

No problem 😊

[@stevearnold8467]

I'm in total agreement on wood furniture. Have to have it and don't want it painted. Also, I can't live without all my books. There are books in every room of my home.

[@debramason7237]

Thanks Garret! My husband likes to charge his phone in the bathroom. Years ago, he started tucking his phone charger in a decorative vase I kept on the counter. We hate clutter, and I thought this was ingenious. It not only looks better, but we don't have to worry about wires getting in the way. I also love drawers in side tables to tuck all of my essentials. In the bedroom, I keep my hand cream, lip balm, ,etc... In the living room next to my comfy chair, I do the same, but also keep some office supplies: pens, pencils, a pair of scissors, and even a box cutter. I like opening my Amazon packages there, lol.

[@cdhughes303]

I really loved this one. I think it’s because you hit on a few things I struggle with. Family pics is one. I have no family pics in my living room but in the surrounding rooms and I think because I don’t see many family pics in KZbinrs’ home. And also I have more artificial plants than real ones. I moved to Las Vegas recently and my plants die here. I’m still trying to figure this out. Keep doing you. I love it.

[@GarrettLeChic]

Thanks so much! I'm glad you enjoyed the video. Much more to come. :)

Albert throwing some serious shade

[@altitudeiseverything3163]

*Plants.* I begin each day checking them for watering needs and new growth while enjoying my morning cup of coffee. It puts me in a calm and positive frame of mind for facing the day ahead. A room without a plant (or more!) feels sterile and lifeless to me. Also: books, family photos, a comfy chair, and my mineral/fossil/gemstone collection (corralled into a display case, though some have “escaped” 😉).

[@GarrettLeChic]

Sounds great! Everyone should have something that is particularly relaxing for them which starts their day, and things in their home that bring joy and comfort.

Thank you for addressing the need to include our furry children into our decor. In honor of Albert, I think it is worth mentioning...a blind dog will use rugs to help navigate their way around a room. I once put down rug runners to lead my dog to his bed.💓 Also, with a blind dog, furniture should not be moved around, lest they bump into it. Hugs and kisses for my fav...Albert! 💘

Hello Garrett! I found you not too long ago but I have to say, you speak to my heart. I've never known or seen anyone like you who enjoys and loves what you love nearly in the same way I do. It has made me feel so relieved and low-key validated that we seem to enjoy many of the same things when it comes to interior design. It's also SUCH a breath of fresh air to see an interior designer who knows what they're talking about that doesn't just follow trends but follows their passion and style. You inspire me tremendously and I'm currently looking to rent my very first apartment, and whenever I wonder "what should I get for x?" I watch your videos to get inspired. I LOVE blue and white porcelain as I think it makes a space look so chic and sophisticated. So happy to have found your channel and please please please keep up the excellent work!

Hi Garrett! I am so happy I found your channel! I love mahogany furniture. I love woods, dark woods. I also love dark paint and white trim. My favorite wall color is a rich dark gray which many design experts say is out. I have been painting my house gray since the 1980's and I have always loved it. I have tried painting other colors but I always go back to dark gray. My home is a mix of nice furnishings and some matchy matchy and cheap stuff that needs to go. I need to "finish" decorating my home and feel comfortable in it. I have been stuck in a design rut for a while, I searched many channels before I found yours. You are the first interior designer I have come across that says "You do you!" and means it! You have inspired me to move forward and finish my home! Thank You for being you!

Thank you for always making me laugh. And for showing off those beautiful superstar dogs of yours! ❤️ My "can't live without" is green. Especially vintage green glazed earthenware, green glazed ceramics, and green glass. I painted my apartment a soft grey-green, my bedding and some of my upholstery is green, etc. It's easier to mix different greens than other colours. And it's just a very peaceful, calming colour, like bringing nature inside my home.

But taupe couch, white pretty much everything!.....I love that look, but like you said ....some blue in with the white (the island, special pottery, pillows, here and there, just a bit ) and yes, a few plants up high so my cats cant get them!...Sounds like I'm doing it right from what you said. And as you were saying, my lifestyle includes my 2 cats (white!)....and all their stuff. I can't wait. (wood tables and floors). Loving it, and can't wait! Love your vids:)

Hi Garrett not really a decor piece but a pet thing. We took one of our full bathrooms and turned it into a powder room with a dog wash. We love it! No more leaning over the bathtub to wash our dogs. They are now waist height and it’s so much easier. As a result, we don’t put off dog baths until we just can’t stand to be around them anymore.

Fantastic video, Garret! You hit on so many great points, such as it being ok to have family photos on display, and not caring about trends if you want to incorporate items you love that are not currently "trendy". I would say that two things I can't live without in my home are beautiful, cozy throws, and greenery! I'm also currently enamored by vintage art and frames and look for it every time I go thrifting. I recently ordered some canvas prints of vintage art images I purchased from Etsy and I love how they turned out! Btw, thank you so much for the link to the oversized comforter, we have a king bed and this is exactly what I've been needing!

I moved in w/my dad & stepmom when I was 14 years old. Thus began my love affair with “blue & whites”, old books, and amber glass. Mom had me wrap and ship the amber glass to myself during one of my last visits before she passed away (she lived in the northwest and I live in the northeast).

Another décor item I can't live without, and this will make me sound vain, are mirrors.

Im working on it though, I’m trying. Love your videos you always have the best advice and no two videos are ever alike.

I love your blue rug. Blue is my favorite color and YOU are my favorite decorator. I just you lived close enough to help me with my home. I love your little fur babies, too.

I absolutely must have 1 or 2 accent items in a room that are black, like maybe a throw pillow or a black lamp base with a pretty white silk shade; nothing large. Maybe knobs on a dresser or a picture frame, you get the idea. I just think black in a room is very elegant, but only in small sizes!

Omg, I cannot believe this channel! ❤ I am soooo tired of this trend or that trend and being told how dated this or that makes my home!!! I know what I like and what my hubby likes and I don't give a rats behind about trends!!! Hubby & I both love mahagany traditional furniture. I have found some neat pieces on offerup that complimented the furniture that we already had. Garrett, I'm so glad I found this channel! 😁

I bought blue willow China 15 yrs ago because I like it. Then I bought the pink willow china because I like it. They matched nothing in my home. But now my home is slowly changing to the things that make me happy. Sapphire blue is my fav ( September girl) and my home reflects it without going over the top. Thanks for your family photos comments. It makes our family home reflect our family. Enjoyed this video so much!!!

I have four lamps in my living room that are set up in a way that all I do is flip a switch and All the light comes on. So simple and instant ambience.

I’m with you Garrett! I love multiple depths of lighting in a space 🥰. Everything else can look “pretty” with the right lighting. Haha

[@GarrettLeChic]

Love that!
