5 INTERIOR DESIGN MISTAKES everyone makes !

[@cosmicpolitan]

I had never heard of self adjusting light bulbs until today. What a great invention! I really like your mirror trick, too - to use a mirror to reflect light and shadow shapes on the wall.

[@tyxeri48]

The worst is a bookcase without books, full of decorative items. It's so common, that I believe that it is a trend. Also, a bookcase with colors arranged books or a bookcase with books with their back to the wall makes me uncomfortable.

[@chickenleg002]

The color thing ACTUALLY makes sense to me! I used to work at a book store and at least twice a week someone came in looking for a book of a certain color that they had seen "about 2 weeks ago". (Also 90% of the time it was the color blue.) So while subject or author take precedent for most of us, color is the most salient characteristic for some.

[@tulipsarevil4211]

Agree with gradients and contrast. My ex had a love for red, and the red curtain just stressed me out 😂

[@carolravie]

I own "Memoirs of a Geisha: Portrait of the Film", which is the book I will take with me wherever I move. So beautiful and significant to me. Plus, it was a bargain. A very special find.

[@paulinebrandt6767]

Interesting video. Soft graduated neutrals are great but I don't think you can lose with high contrast black and white photography- especially if beautifully framed! Love these videos:)

[@dominiquetheeasyminimalist]

I have the whole collection of a local writer Michel Tremblay. His books followed me wherever I moved, and I read them over and over again through the years 😊

[@cassyg.3207]

all what you say is my cup of tea 😉👍🍀

[@elisabetheriksson7787]

I love buying myself flowers and placing them in vases. The place where I buy them have a 3 for 2 offer always, so you can mix and match different flowers/leaves etc. I always make sure to get something different each time I buy them. This way I create change buy every 3-4 weeks changing the flowers in my vases 💐

We also bring our simple trimmings in and put them in any container.

[@jutka12]

Interestingly on contrast, I read somewhere once that of you have more subdued features with little contrast, that high contrast outfits are too stark on you. If you have high contrast features, like pale skin, dark hair and eyes, then high contrast works for you. I am quite low contrast and my home is decorated the same way. I prefer warm tones in my home.

[@darlenekawa7246]

I agree about most high contrast. Black and white (cream) might be my exception. Love your perspective on all home decor. So happy I stumbled upon your channel!

[@tdog3753]

the mirror idea is GENIUS

[@winterburden]

I'm going to hang a photo of a beige wall up on a grey wall! 🙆‍♀️

[@mirimari4536]

Your videos are just so freaking beautiful. Thanks!

[@Ms.MD7]

I haven't watch minimalist content but am starting to again because I've moved to a new home and wanted to be reminded of to slow the accumulation that comes with wanting furnish the place. I almost didn't recognized you and I realized you have brows now, they look great on you.

[@veronicaelenaholley9969]

I regret to this day buying a white light LED study lamp. Talk about stress inducing!

[@mizpah1993]

I love neutrals (our house is white, grey, brown inside and out). But I remember staying at a hotel in Oxfordshire and I loved the mid-dark heritage colours too. Not high contrast, but dark greys, natural woods floors, charcoal trims and furnishings, warmed up by lighting with filament bulbs. I normally have issues sleeping in hotels but I found it surprisingly cocooning and restful. It’s just an aesthetic that has stayed with me and something I want to do to a room for our next house move 🤞💫

[@mrs.marken4609]

As a Canadian I’ll try to not be offended by your opinion about red and white… 😂

[@LotusesGalaxyOcean]

This seems like a visual interior design like color melted hair. This video was very helpful for me to discern why I liked dark jewel tones almost swirling together. It is because it makes a visually harmonious rich sea of color without the high contrast moments. As someone who needs an environment that balances between stimulating and soothing it works quite well. Statement items might not stand out in that sort of design.

[@pelipequi1493]

I totally agree with you on using low contrast colors. If I were to have colored walls, I would use a deep beige, grey, green, or blue, but nothing too drastic. For now, it's white walls and lots of artwork.

[@citydoll22]

I agree with the books. A friend of mine has a new house, she is very proud of her interior styling and I must say it looks like a interior magazine...no soul or anything personal...in my opinion...

[@rebeccaalves4796]

Hi Jenny! If you would like to, I think it would be great if you would do a video about what to see when visiting London, from your perspective and generally your favourite places, not just those for tourists :))

[@Bonjour_Lisa]

Ooo this video series is my favourite! Great book on the wish list: “Simple matters” ✨

[@JennyMustard]

hahah yay thank you lovely !

[@lanalace3470]

I have the same edition of The Bell Jar 🖤

[@vechnovoblakach9642]

I love your videos on interior design and the visuals are beautiful!

[@calvinma1468]

Watching your videos just makes me want to be a better person and live a fuller life.

[@maryanabardina6348]

Wow! I wasn’t realizing this before that I also do not like strong contrast. Now that I know it I will stop fighting it and decorate our apartment accordingly

[@heatherinparis]

Hi Jenny.....I've got to go back and rewatch this video! I missed most of it because I was so obsessed/distracted by the gorgeous garment you were wearing. Is it a dress? Is it a shirt? If it IS a shirt what were you wearing it with? Can you post a youtube short of a full length view of you in it? I'd love to see the whole garment.

[@helin983]

I was thinking the exact same thing, it's gorgeous

[@rosabutcher5092]

It’s a dress; she wears it in some other ‘outfit’ videos if you want to see the whole thing 😊

[@JennyMustard]

haha thank you love ! it's a dress from ganni, but like one or two years ago...... :*

[@ITcanB]

Color is so powerful and mood lifting ,I think color will make a come back soon.❤

[@kb0224]

I totally understand and appreciate the apprehension toward strong contrast - it can seem jarring if you want a calming space. For myself, I really love bold contrast (pink/green, ochre/deep blue) because it is really stimulating and pleasing to me. However, I'd be lying if I didn't see the benefit and comfort in a monochromatic or gradient palette. Great video!!

[@sweetheartcarebear5534]

I keep a shelf with my favorite books in my living room. I like browns and greens with a touch of purple.

[@dalereid4199]

Sliding scale is better even if you use colour. I have high contrast in my home office / 2nd bedroom for the energy but generally speaking I prefer cohesion whether neutral or colourful. My current fave is painted woodwork for a pop of colour in a neutral room. I love that

[@patriciavasquez573]

Love your Dress. The E Tower! No you speak well about spaces.

[@Cityheart221]

I like your videos, but I don't mind contrasts and I love books. I only keep the ones I read more than once.

[@libbyneves5457]

Could you talk about how to create a space with a large black tv over a fireplace? We are building a barn structure to provide guest bedrooms, a three car garage with an office space and bar seating; kitchen, living and art space facing a lake. In other words very casual. I want a quiet interior in favor of the woods and lake views. What to do about that tv over the fireplace? No hearth, mantel is optional. The color scheme is coming off a dark cherry cabinet we already have, so a slightly reddish brown will be the deepest color repeated in the flooring and maybe the lower kitchen cabinets. A column of black from the hearth to the ceiling seems stark and too attention getting. I would appreciate an idea. Thanks so much.

[@duchessedeberne3909]

I love your home and house videos!

[@laurietautkasstuart1130]

Love, love, love your outfit! Are you wearing a blouse or dress? Fantastic tips too!

[@croitoriafaraformule]

I like a blend of bright joyfull red anc a pure white to ballance

I have a Wordcloud set of the entire works of Jane Austen, and I love it so much I want to keep it forever and hand it down to my children in my will. :)

I'm not a fan of harsh contrast either.

[@chiararizzo5249]

I agree with every point, great video!

[@amandawoodrum7345]

Oof I’ve definitely made some of these mistakes. I’ve been so bored and uncomfortable in my house recently. I know part of it is that I’ve been inside so much over the pandemic, but also because I’m so tired of my unthoughtful design. Time to make a few conservative upgrades!

[@TheEmEmBee]

I've been admiring the daybed in your videos! Where's it from?

[@cd2659]

Cold white light bulbs are the worst. They can all go as far as I'm concerned.

[@astrid.kt.]

Omg im early, i was watching your videos and studying and i just saw a new video
