Very, very helpful Kiva! Would love a bedroom version of this too, please. Thank you so much for helping us learn the ropes. :). take care.

Who needs Feng shui? When you have Kiva! Such small design fixes with large beautiful outcome !👏👏👏

[@mummyisis]

Please do a bedroom version! I'm struggling with my furniture and art work placement and would love some inspiration!

[@KivaBrent]

I’m on it!!

[@franjones5312]

I love how practical Kiva's advice is. Nothing outlandish or unaffordable. Some suggestions don't cost anything at all, such as re-orienting rugs, and removing excess pillows. So simple! Would love to see a bedroom version.

[@KivaBrent]

Aw thank you!! I’m working on the bedroom now :)

[@jenniferclyde8911]

The only problem with knowing these things is now you’ll see them everywhere 😂😂 especially the height of art 🙈 Would love to see a bedroom version, and also the color theory video, did I miss the link? I may have lol

[@marilyn6905]

Had to mention....LOVE your GREEN LAMP!

[@marymidwestill5697]

Kiva, your videos are so useful! Love your energy & your ability to present tons of info by moving right along, while also elaborating as you go, with examples, verbal & pictorial, to clarify the concepts you share with us. ("Aha, I get it!" I regularly exclaim to myself. What wonderfully approachable advice!!!)

[@carolepeck3829]

As I watched your post I was pleased with what I have done correctly and what I might rethink.

[@KatieB33]

This is the best information I’ve ever received and now I can see exactly why some things look great in my home and others are just not quite right. It makes perfect sense when you know! Thank you. Yes a bedroom one please. I only found out recently why my bedside tables were never right, that it needs to be level with the top of your mattress or within a few centimetres. So I bought some off marketplace that are completely different to my bed frame but it looks great!

[@rbrame62]

Would love a bedroom version. Thanks Kiva ❤

[@NYouTubeFan4ever123]

Yes Kiva please do a Bedroom version of this video & Thank you for sharing!!

[@joansmit5782]

Thank you…as an artist, this concept of eye-level is SO important! I once lost a commission because I recommended the client move another piece they had already hung…absolutely on the height opening and ON the side opening of the bathroom door…because the husband was taller than normal. WTH. Wasn’t sad to lose that one!

[@bella61567]

Of course we want a bedroom version! ;)

[@dinalarocca5974]

BEDROOM VERSION - yes, please! Thank you for all the helpful tips 😊

[@KivaBrent]

On it!! Thanks for watching :)

[@lisadawson2652]

Team bedroom version 👌🏾

[@girassoiseacucenas]

Thanks for the support useful video! Practical concern though: if art is at eye level, small kids can easily reach it, and do unspeakable things to it. Which is why we hang large paintings higher at home.

[@rnvideo4332]

Thank you, Kiva! Your video helped me to finally understand the difference between scale and proportion! I had a designer look at my living room, and she said that the scale and proportion were off. I asked her to explain what she meant and how I could fix it, and she only wanted to sell me furniture :(.

[@KivaBrent]

Oh no! I’m so sorry that you had that experience.

Fantastic information. I look forward to the bedroom version. Full disclosure, the tv in the bedroom is the same size as the one in the living room 👀

[@hareemixx]

i'm taking my sweet time designing my space since i'm learning so much from your videos. Thank you so much!

[@paula9661]

I contemplated the idea of the coffe table. I want the space between my tv and couch for following yoga videos or dancing. I dont want to be having to move a table back and fort all the time. A table will be more in the way than helpful. So, I decided not to have any tables. I have a nice tray I put in the sofa for drinks and good as needed. I wonder if there any idea of how to make the space function while leaving that space open

[@apples_and_orchards3205]

Hey Kiva, Love your vids girl and Ty so much for always thinking of us ppl who have a very slim budget to put it kindly lol. I was wondering if you could do a video on how to get Arron Paul’s Idaho cabin Look for less that is if that’s even possible lol . But I’m sure if anyone can tell us how it would be you ! His cabin Is one of my all time favorite homes ❤ @DIY with KB Also there’s a home called “Wolf Creek lodge” that designer Anne Marie Barton helped with and it’s scrumptious! If I could have a dream home, it would be the mix of those two homes. I can’t even imagine both of these homes or just vacation homes for people. 😮

[@jeannereich8690]

This is timely. I am looking for a living room rug to anchor my couch and coffee table.

[@KivaBrent]

Yay!! Where are you looking for your rug?

[@floridaregisteredagent9488]

​@KivaBrent Me too, I'm shopping for a livingroom rug everywhere online for a month: Walmart, Wayfair, Amazon, Home Goods. My color scheme is like yours - cream, black and gold. Nothing speaks to me. 😢

[@amymiller9339]

Fantastic tips, thank you so much Kiva!

[@KivaBrent]

Thanks for watching, Amy!! 💕

[@hikarisyami]

I have a question because I have heard the advice about not purchasing rugs that are too small for your spacr before and often. It totally makes sense but I've been left wondering, under what circumstances would someone actually use a smaller rug to begin with? Like who are they making these itty-bitty rugs for because they seem kind of pointless. And I mean regular wool rugs not specialty ones like a bathmat or welcome mat. It would be interesting to see someone mock up a design that incorporates small rugs properly because....sometimes that's all I can afford 😂. Anyway, I loved this video as always, @Kiva!
