That’s “our” Canadian gal! 💓🇨🇦💓🇨🇦💓

[@LoveandMisses]

I don't know her personally to make a fully educated decision. She seems to be very nice.

[@MariellaHill]

If anyone deserves her own network show it’s this gifted young lady. 😊

[@ayebalepriscillah5019]

Always straight to the point

[@cindyrumsey3707]

I love that Kristen explains the reasons why you need to follow her design rules!

[@onubia7224]

This is one of my favorite videos by her. I get a lot of compliments on our home because I’ve listened to Kristen’s rules and suggestions.

[@dleblanc6883]

I love your videos. What I like is that no matter if you have a small modest home or a bigger home, your tips are helpful. Thank you.

[@elizabethgoosen3679]

Hi Kristen. Please do a video on bedside lamp sizes vs the bed side table, width and height. These videos are so helpful, thank you ❤

[@jeanettefujikawa]

Wow! A free, 10 minute video that is extremely informative and I will be referring back to many times ❤. Kristen, you covered so much ground and gave wonderful examples. I can’t wait to see the house tour!

[@נעמיבןיער]

Yes ! Like a speedy design course, exelent !

[@srmusa7725]

100% agreed

[@naorindamabini7255]

This was very informative. Hope you can also do an all abt lighting vid. How to place light, how much light a room needs, how to compute for the brightness or lumens, warm/cool/yellow/white. Thank you.

[@comosi519]

I just love watching your videos. This video answered a question I had about rug size v. bed size, so thank you for the helpful information, as always!

[@swetha0585]

Thanks for the round up, will wait for part 2. Hi Kristen , could you also make videos on the below topics for small houses 1. Countertop colours and combinations cabinet materials and colours 2. Staircase designs and materials, how to choose 3. Paint tips for walls, doors and trim.

[@louisetregomorgan4907]

My eldest son recently asked me how high the side dressers should be . I put him onto your videos ❤. This was very helpful, Kristen, much appreciated.

[@KristenMcGowan]

Aw I love that!! Thank you!

[@simplyericaamaro]

Extraordinary video! I found the tip on height of coffee tables and side tables particularly helpful!

[@despinaheyer9023]

this girl gives such positive vibes so positive that im up to buy a new coffee table for my living room haha

[@MariposasSol]

Me too!!! I currently have a round one. Thanks to Kristen, I learned that the round table is not suitable for a 96 long sofa.

[@ambinintsoahasina]

I've watched tons of videos about Interior design but yours never miss. Always super practical and right to the point! Great work!

[@TiaFirl]

This was a total eye-opener for me. The tips were practical and made so much sense-I never realized how simple tweaks like hanging curtains higher or layering rugs could completely transform a room. I'm feeling inspired to give my home a makeover with these newfound design insights!

[@refrigeratortrimkits]

Agreed!!

[@AlyssaHernandez-mv7hy]

I appreciated your emphasis on personal style and creativity. Whether you're a beginner or a seasoned decorator, this video is a must-watch for anyone looking to improve their interior design skills.

[@KeyanuBolt]

Omg I'm blown away🎉 I wish I would have known about the rules and regulations long ago now it's time to fix the mistakes thank you !!!

[@jacquelinecobb9387]

You have helped me so much with the redecoration of my home. Great tips! Thank you, Kristen 🥰

[@sazzlepopz1553]

These measures about coffee and end tables are exactly what I was looking for 😊

[@leepainter5064]

Excellent video, really informative, thank you

[@RonakKhatak]

Yes, those reload bonuses can be a lifesaver, especially when you hit a rough patch. Helps to keep playing without breaking the bank

[@jenniferlynn3537]

Thank you Kristen - this was definitely one of your most utilitarian videos: I took multiple screenshots to save for future reference. Much appreciated!

[@raeleneoros3398]

Thank you for sharing all of these decorating rules to follow! You are always so sweet and kind. I always look forward to your posts! I can't wait to see the Lake House Tour! I am excited! ☺❤

[@idabrophy4590]

You're the very best because you give decorating advice not just doing something and making your house look like it's been staged you give advice and decorating tips and their fantastic

[@andrescastillo07]

You're the best! I've learned so much from you in the last couple of weeks and I have started applying your tips and tricks to my bedroom, and I'm starting to see the differences! Your style is perfect.

[@Ccdurko]

I look forward to these videos every week! I can't wait to see the lake house tour!

[@olla8550]

Thank you so much for all hard work you do on KZbin.Im not designer, and not so talented.but thank to your tips and knowledge.my house look really sophisticated, waem and elegant. Thank you

[@SukadebaDehury]

That’s a great idea! Betting is always more fun with friends around, and those bonuses for referring them seem pretty generous.

[@srebatireddy2213]

Absolutely, the cashback saved me last week. It’s a good feeling to get something back after a loss

[@debraenston4164]

Brilliant! I feel we all watch your videos and are amazed at what you teach us. These rules make our homes "flow" and feel thought about. Not easy for someone who loves antiques/thrift shop furniture but now I have the key tools to see which pieces will fit in our home. Thanks so much. Kind regards from England!

[@lauriehardie3308]

Whenever I’m feeling uninspired I watch some of your videos and it gets me going! I love your ideas and advice!

[@barbb.7028]

Yes!! This video is definitely one that I saved for now but also future use. Thanks.

[@KellyAlbright-tg9kz]

This is excellent decorating advice - I've watched scads of videos about size / placement of furniture and rugs, but never so specific in terms of measurements which makes it SO much easier. Great job!

[@briankachor566]

Im looking forward to Kristen get her back desk ready for spring and summer happy gardening 😄

[@dash1dash2]

4:50 I'd challenge that. I have very complex trim and just did everything in the same eggshell color and it looks fantastic. No need to have different sheens or colors.

[@kimsenn5024]

Great informative video. I wish I knew these before I furnished and decorated my home. It would have made things much easier.

[@Garfield5034]

Very informative tips. I never though about coffee table rules. Thank you.

[@ozmaile7938]

Great tips. They seem obvious for professionals but for all those out there that think they are designers or don't need designers these basics are spot on

[@brendatomlinson]

8:21 I love the double rug look with jute on the bottom. It’s what I would call casual chic.

[@KristenMcGowan]

Absolutely! I love the look as well!

[@razamughal9095]

But the colour is not nice, I am looking for a ivory colour

[@brendatomlinson]

@@razamughal9095 I love the colors of the rugs together!

[@gailbissell3910]

Great tips ! I always new my bed side tables didn’t look right but I couldn’t work out why, now I do. The top of the bed side tables are a good 2 to 3 inches lower that the mattress which also makes it awkward to reach for items. Thank you

[@taniagiancioppi3996]

Thank you so much for sharing your wisdom. I am currently on the hunt for my first home and need to buy all my furniture except the bedroom, and this will help me when choosing. Can't wait to design my home.

[@अंतरालकटोय्ले]

Have you looked at the reload bonuses They seem perfect for keeping the game going after the initial play

[@caudillcottage]

[@michelelee5339]

I think you've solved an issue I was having with rugs. Ty

[@carolyngrotaers4454]

A fabulous video, Kristen. I was going to suggest to others to save this video if you are not an interior designer. 😊

[@rociodupont8864]

Thank you! This video was very informative, one of the best I have ever watched. I need all the help I can get!

[@nanetteomeara609]

[@philipppiier17]

[@tanjacavlovic8053]

UUUU... I looove the drawing schemes, everything makes sense now. It is for saving for future designs. Thank you so much. ❤

[@arshzxc-short]

I'm thinking of using it to bet on the cricket matches. There's a big game coming up, and that extra bonus could really come in handy

[@KacanHatole]

That sounds like a good plan. I spread my bonus across a few casino games, tried a bit of roulette and blackjack

[@JacquelineB-bc8lm]

I came across video and it was incredibly insightful! It breaks down key principles in interior design in a clear and engaging manner, making it easy to understand for beginners like me. I appreciated learning about the importance of balance, scale, and focal points in creating a cohesive space.

[@TheSushmaHomeSellingTeam]

These are helpful tips as we craft spaces that reflects our individuality and flair. Thank you! 😉

[@Fiftynine414]

Excellent information for me - I’m beginning a remodel of my living room. This helps a lot.

[@CocoloverCC]

Thank you Kristen! My house checks everything on your list in this video, which makes me super happy! Thank you for the information!

[@marthadewey1267]

What a great video - I had instinctively figured out what height I needed for my coffee table ( we are tall, so our sofa seat height is 20") but the length left me wondering....3/5th's perfect!

[@sudipmonbal5679]

Haan yaar 4RA ke welcome bonus ne toh pehli baar me hi maza de diya tha, bohot badiya

[@nadirmachadogoncalves7066]

Great videos, thank you! I descovered them today and I have watched lots of them. So nice and useful! Please, would you make a video about tradicional classic decor style with a bit of contemporary style decor?

[@PartyCrewCoolPAD]

I also have a prehistoric punctuation for my interior design ✌️

[@gardenjoy5223]

9: 02 Note to self: really like the look of that hall way. The paneling doesn't get too high. The walls are slightly lighter than the trims etc. Even like the pattern of the wood on the floor, which shows either way which way to go :)

[@zinahaddow4784]
