Interior Styling 101 | Designer Secrets on Styling Coffee Tables, Console Tables & more!

[@joyannesloan8384]

I've literally watched a billion interior design videos and never once has anyone explained these principles so clearly for the lay person like myself who just loves interior design but has never gone to design school. Thank you very much!!! 🙏

[@ashleychilders]

You are so welcome! I’m so happy you enjoyed the video and found it helpful!! 🥰

[@Loveofdecorating]

Could we just take a moment to appreciate that gorgeous dress???❤❤❤ it’s beautiful and very becoming on you! Would love to know where you purchased it!!! You decorate beautifully and I am hoping to eventually go to design school, but until then, I love learning as much as I can from the pro’s! Love love love to decorate! Dream job would be to be an interior decorator!

My favorite item in your home is your beautiful marmalade tabby cat, seen via reflection at 9:09 , & again at 9:33 . 🌿💐🌿💚🐈💚🌿💐🌿

Very informative video and I like your 4 design principles. One thing I think must be considered when styling tables is how the people who actually live in the space will use them. I’ve seen some styled tables that leave no room to put anything else on the surface, like a drink glass, a reading book or even a phone. I once stayed in a bed & breakfast that had nightstands that left zero space to set ANYTHING. The tables have to function as a useable surface in addition to looking pretty.

I’m a writer, so I have my favorite books. As soon as you removed the jackets from the coffee table books, I sprang into action. Amazingly, the books look clean and elegant as they complete the design of my new room divider. Thank you, from your new subscriber

[@ashleychilders]

I love this! ❤

[@katjohnson4433]

A book purchasing suggestion, if I may. Amazon has the largest collection of used books. In great shape. Love your channel!!

[@giaw7867]

Loving your channel and so glad I found it - One of my new favorite channels! I would just love to see a video on plants and greenery and flowers - how to style those - thank you!

[@ashleychilders]

You are too sweet! We can definitely do that ❤️

[@sarahofer4368]

Such clear instructions and remarkable results. Thanks, Ashley!

[@bluebird8224]

Beautiful !!! I like that you mentioned repetition. I repeat colors, but I haven't thought about repeating shapes. I guess I do it intuitively. Thanks for the hint.! I have so many things I had to sort them by the Month. I also made a checklist of elements to consider with each month's vignettes such as colors and themes. My list includes containers and risers, which you used wonderfully. My list also includes textiles and living things such as people and animals. That makes me stop and think about whether I can find a family photograph or figurine to embellish my vignettes, etc. You have worked magic with metal, which I have started experimenting with, but I didn't collect until I realized the value of it. Thanks for sharing! .

[@ashleychilders]

I love your creative process! I change my vignettes out often as well and it always makes me feel rejuvenated and inspired! Thank you so much for watching and happy styling!

Thanks for the videos and design explanation. We are currently updating the exterior of our home and would love any tips on a timeless design (btw, love your front doors, I have those on my lists of exterior updates).

[@opallewis1366]

Thanks for sharing your tips ❤

[@ashleychilders]

[@pman2916]

Think you need to check your mic because you sounded tinny in this video. Great content👌

[@Creyole]

Is it me? I didn’t have any sound once she started talking about the coffee table until the12:23 mark.🤷🏾‍♀️

[@cathybartell5943]

Did the volume go out for anyone else? Darn it looks so good.

[@bellacottages6106]

Yes for me too, I couldn't hear the video til the very last part, I thought it was just me.

[@Androgynary]

Please make a video on how to decorate awkward corners!

[@ashleychilders]

Noted!

[@Paintandpurses]

I love the rug in this video. Can you link it?

[@ashleychilders]

Thank you!!!! I designed it, it's in my collection. Yes, I'll get it linked!!

[@nancypoteete5856]

Can you share where your dress is from? Loved the video!

[@awandeehome8578]

Love it ❤

[@ashleychilders]

Thank you!

[@irmafigueroa2229]

Id like to know. If I have a classic wood square coffee table can I put a more modern side table? The room is more modern but since my coffee table is traditional style and wedding gift I cant get rid of it. It is gorgeous.😊

[@ashleychilders]

Absolutely!!! I love mixing styles. I’d recommend using a modern shape with contrasting material to the coffee table. Like marble or iron! Or if you go with a wood side table do a finish that’s different from the coffee table. 🤎🤎

[@rociocarrionrabanal1121]

I would like to know where did you buy your dress. It is so beautiful

[@susierivera5234]

Couldn't hear anything😢 look like such great ideas. Thanks for sharing 😘

[@tanimasingh941]

i loved your interior designing style so bright and airy and timeless. where is this dress from?

[@ashleychilders]

Thank you! It is Tory Burch

[@GlamQueenDIY]

the style is beautiful, but once you started to talk about the table your sound went out. and I would of loved to heard your tips

[@yb2026]

Do you have tips on how to style a table with a family photo-frame collection?

[@marytaweel5631]

Can you please tell me about the carpet? I love it. ❤️

[@ashleychilders]

It is from my collection! Our website will be live soon so I will keep you all posted!

[@shoshanachavab]

I just have to comment. I thing ruins the display more than books without their beautiful covers. I love books and have an double glass coffee table and my beautiful albums and coffee table books are under all with their own covers. On top I have stacks of books I want to read with plants on top of them. At different levels. To each his own. My room is gorgeous and everyone remarks on it and of my habit of reading which is very evident but still tastefully done.

[@Bomberboybrad]

Are those lamps/lights powered? It always seems messy to have a functional cord.

[@ashleychilders]

Yes, they are. I always try to tuck the cords and hide them as best I can!

[@loreneaustin5304]

What happened to the sound @:48 to 12:26?

[@carmenfigueroa7620]

Check the sound

[@shirleybuchan13]

Hi the sound quality is so low I can barely hear you. But the music is very loud 🔊

[@dawstu1]

Glass coffee tables are nice but only in videos and pictures. Used to have one and unless you use it as a book display and never to have a cup of coffee or a snack, it will have scratches and will get dusty on a daily basis.

[@ashleychilders]

I put my coffee mug on that table every day. Thanks for watching!

[@mahaalzaim8029]

Hi, can't hear your voice after ' Saturday ', till almost the end of the side table 😢 missed this one!

[@dianes529]

I had trouble hearing the video 😌

[@debbieciampoli4624]

Couldn’t hear your video, something happened to the audio!😢

[@nicoletarus7243]

no sound ...

[@jovannisoza]

Trying uding head phones

[@patroberts1111]

No sound after intro.

[@lorrainedash3045]

No sound on this video?

[@Clauds71]

🤍

[@apsallprosales4734]

Audio cut out.

[@sjeffers6165]

No sound ?

[@debbieadams3433]

No sound, I wished the video had sound so that everyone could hear. This needs to be a do-over. Please consider.

[@ashleychilders]

Something happened to our mic, you have to watch it without headphones. Ugh, so sorry!

[@kathyphillips1018]

Starts out with sound, then stops.😞

[@aliman6447]

She is very pretty and creative, with good taste.. But....I wish she would take a breath while talking.....she talks continuously, without a single pause.....it is quite nerve shattering !! PLEASE

[@kathleengreen3411]

Can't hear!!!!😳

[@vonniechannel2818]

You were silent during your video until the end.

[@carolnoriega7435]

You have a problema witth your video. After à while, you sound very low and cut. Otherwise, thank you for your videos

[@ifeanyijosephjonathan2389]

From 55 seconds into the video, it lost the voice recording... Making only squeaky sounds

[@taylorlondon2248]

Something is wrong with the microphone

[@MissPurplePotato]

This room has too much going on. The style is not cohesive and is very confusing. Too many items grouped together (side table especially), too many different styles just tossed in together. A tiny short table on one side and a tall table on the other side of that odd chair is not good design. Sorry this room is not well thought out.

[@lisahoerr9713]

Don’t agree with you lady!

[@MissPurplePotato]

@@lisahoerr9713 oh well woman!

[@peeweenpatch]

Over styled and stuffy. Looks a bit pretentious in that it’s not practical to have so many decorative items that leave no room for even a coffee cup and a real book that one actually reads. Yea I know you said you read yours…
