Psychology of Design: 13 Tips for a Relaxing Home (Architect-Approved)

[@daynacase8528]

How do you NOT have your own TV show. The psychology of decor, absolutely fascinating!

[@asayy2450]

As a visual learner I appreciate all the images and texts. Also i love your sense of humour! Please let the cat in

[@baixu]

He is in and curled up next to me 😺

[@ColSmith-r9d]

The angel of design has spoken the words of our creator. I've binged on all her videos, I never been able to get my head around this stuff until I found this channel. I've shared it with most of chic friends, they are very impressed with Baixu, she's just so like raspberry and macadamia nut Vanilla ice-cream, those jumpers are so mummy. I would of thought she would of made a celeb, but she comes across as honest and that's not acceptable in media land.

[@HINTEX-z8v]

Wow, I couldn’t agree more!

[@carlpichette]

I don't understand how you don't have at least a million subscribers. The way you explain things and the visuals you use are top notch. Even your voice itself is soothing!

[@baixu]

Thank you! I am trying hard to get more subscriber, every video gets me a little closer 😁🤞

[@breanaintlekofer6804]

I was thinking the same exact thing! So glad I found her/this channel!

[@user-qp6lj6gu7s]

@@baixu I love your videos and your knowledge, but I almost missed out on it despite having your channel recommended several times so I thought I'd share why: thumbnails are good, but not exactly my own style, this is not something you should change because you can never please/intrigue everyone with just one visual. I think your titles have gotten better over time, adding things like "(Psychology of Design & Architect-Approved)" really shows what you're about and what makes you unique among everything else competing for attention, I might even go as far as put it first in the title because I can't be the only one that skim past longer titles? This brings me to the third thing, your channel name, it doesn't show what you're about either, thinking about my own behaviour I've realised that if someone only has a name but no credentials or descriptions, I am less likely to click and the thumbnail-game has to be really strong and unique to compensate. So for example: thumbnail - same, title - psychology of design: 13 tips for a relaxing home, and channel name - baixu architect I know this is unsolicited advice, only n=1 and I also see the irony of me having no credentials for running a youtube channel yet commenting on showing credentials, but I really like your work and wish more people could have the opportunity to learn from it and maybe this helps a in some way 🤷

[@baixu]

@user-qp6lj6gu7s thank you for the ideas! Constructive feedback and ideas are always so welcome!!🙏 I’ve implemented the changes to the video titles, i hope they make people click on the videos a bit more :) please keep sharing any feedback you have, really appreciate it ☺️

[@izamalczykjewelry]

I really appreciate the effort you put into the visual illustration of your content - it makes watching your videos such a pleasurable experience. Sending lot of love from Poland :)

Great videos

[@VivaLibertad1981]

J'aime tes conseils et surtout regarder tes vidéos d'excellente qualité de production 🎉 Votre voix est aussi le secret de la réussite de vos vidéos design ❤ 👏

[@babyjinspire]

I loved this video so much! And your humor is just the perfect touch to making this video enjoyable. Glad to hear no cats were harmed 😂

[@baixu]

Thank you so much!!

[@kimesch9698]

One of the best videos I’ve seen about home decorating anywhere. Thank you!

[@Lokiss2]

Lady I found you today, and I muat say I adore your videos ❤ thank you for posting them 🙏

[@as5000]

The best decor video I’ve seen. Comparison between images makes understanding better. Everything you said is so true. Your voice is clear and soothing. Brilliant video 👍👍

[@zenbrandon]

I cannot wait to dig into this! My small apartment always feels so cluttered and hectic, so I'm definitely going to be applying what I learn here to my own space.

[@graceevans9895]

I honestly adore you and your videos so much, they make me feel overjoyed but also relaxed, comfortable and inspired. That last section of the video where you talked about your cat was so adorable! thank you for everything you do

[@nonawolf7495]

Wonderful videos - we love you Baixu!

[@sleuththewild]

This is a nice, calming, and relaxing presentation! I love the original ideas from this channel.

[@lcm6675]

Love the way you cut through the noise in the design space and dig deep into science and psychology to explain why. Well done and looking forward to more videos like this!

[@baixu]

Thank you! I try my best 😁

[@Violethue15]

This was helpful and your presentation was calming. Thank you.

[@dancingrl7350]

Hi Baixu, I just wanted to tell you how much I appreciate your science-based approach to design. Much of this is what I learned in design school, only a little different in areas, because of the difference in focus. I love getting the architect's take on it! Thank you for sharing it.

[@mrs.lessofamess9418]

What a fantastic video on all levels! Makes so much sense! Thank you! Subscribed! ❤

[@DidemSev]

I really appreciate the creativity and effort in your videos. Such valuable insights - thank you for sharing! Looking forward to more content like this!

[@baixu]

My pleasure!

[@nazneenismail]

That was very informative! Liked and subscribed now going to watch your previous videos 😊

[@baixu]

Thanks and welcome!!🤗

[@marjojohannasutinen406]

I've been following your channel for a while and it's really delightful that you seem to have something original to say in each video! My favorite point in this one was the art with open views, instead of closed ones. Thanks and keep up the good work!

[@wellnessgirl2806]

So helpful and informative, you are a natural educator, I relish your uploads and would love to hear you talk through tours of acclaimed interiors highlighting the design principles.

[@baixu]

Thank you! And that’s a great suggestion, which I will keep in mind for future content 😊

[@Valalalala]

Coco can move in with me, I have lots of treats! (And soon I’ll have a calm space thanks to these tips)

[@GIB_H]

As you shared images with maximalist interiors stating it was “overstimulating” I couldnt help but think how much more I prefer these very interiors. 😊 The aesthetic of interior design is indeed subjective and should always be, in my opinion, an art form. Unfortunately, many designers/influencers provide rules to interior spaces and make living spaces very…sterile and impersonal. This is not a criticism but an observation…I would love to see more emphasis on developing creativity and embracing the art of interiors instead of the trends/rules of interior design. Good video although I may respectfully disagree on some (very few) points raised.

[@lauraty3583]

Love your content, would love to hear your analysis or thoughts on great and important interior designs books ❤

[@user-qp6lj6gu7s]

5:53 Is it possible for you to make a video on how to decorate for those of us who love high visual complexity but still have it be inviting to guests and practical for everyday life? Or maybe a video going more in depth about the scale from very low to very high complexity, how to know where a room or a piece falls on it, or your own need? I clicked on this video because I do want a relaxing home, and all tips are great, but turns out that the example of high complexity is my calm, and the example of medium complexity is the type of thing that has me climbing the walls for stimulation 😅

[@liamporter1137]

Another great video. Thanks for sharing.

[@izziegirl6871]

Light hearted and spot on! Love it all.❤

[@rodrigomachado1276]

Congratulations Baixu. I am really into creating warm and cozy environments and I still think the way you explain things is so simple and natural that things started to make sense. Before it was quite difficult to understand the why of some feelings when in a place but now it is becoming more and more clear. Thank you very much for your dedication and knowledge ❤

[@baixu]

I’m so glad to hear this! That’s exactly what I want my videos to achieve 🥹 for us to understand why design makes us feel a certain way!

[@junboklee4532]

Very helpful in an easy manner.

[@growwithkare]

the music and editing and your voice just makes this so wonderful to watch

[@davidbreit3904]

Incredible video. Nature is beauty.

[@ShadowDatsas]

Wow this channel is the best interior design advice I've seen so far! Your examples are much better, and more plentiful, and demonstrate the principle much more clearly than other alternative channels which often show pictures with small differences or that do not elucidate their point. Thanks! I've subscribed to learn more!

[@fourgrans]

Seriously, this is such good content. I really appreciate it. Subscribed liked commented, and all that stuff

I recently just moved into my first solo apartment and I had to leave my cat at my parents house 😿 so I’m sitting here in my half finished living room watching your video and the intro was so resonant!!! I appreciate you and your knowledge so much !

[@jullssaad1621]

Strangely, on my daughter’s ad free account you showed up and thank God because you’re amazing! on my account full of interior design shows you never showed up in my feed. USA subscriber

Hi, Baixu! Brazil here! 🇧🇷 I’m in love with your channel! You are so sweet and funny. I laughed a lot when you put your cat out of the house. I feel the same here 😂 All your videos are amazing, easy understanding and are helping me a lot with my home! Haha Thank you very much ❤

[@christinaheagy4602]

Thank you. Very informative.

[@HINTEX-z8v]

[@adolfogonzalez3051]

I spent a lot of time teaching myself everything I could about lighting for our new build and I got rid of most of the downlights everywhere. I have pendants and wall sconces and ceiling mounted and recessed lights that are mainly indirectly lighting areas. In aus it's really hard to find GU10 globes under 2700k colour. I found 2700k to be the absolute upper limit to what I feel is relaxing. They also need to be of high CRI!. I would love to find globes in 2400k or lower and will try the IKEA ones that we have available in Australia. Oh I forgot --- my point is that lighting is probably the most important element in creating a cosy environment in your home

[@jm821]

Love your videos! Keep it up

Since we're talking about senses, smell is really important as well! Besides having a clean and odorless home, it's nice to have some air fresheners, fabric perfumes and etc

Absolutely! Smell plays such a huge role in creating a welcoming and comfortable atmosphere at home.

[@l.5832]

When I get home I remove my hearing aids. I hear nothing without them. Instant calm! 😆 Also, before swapping out those light bulbs to warm yellow tones, notice your paint colours. If the room is in a calming pale blue and you turn on a yellow light, you will have mud walls. When I painted my room a beautiful pale blue I also changed my bulbs to a cooler white. I am south facing so lots of natural light and it does not make the place 'feel cold'. You need bulb colours that enhance/preserve the wall colours. If you are a person who jumped on the beige craze, then the yellow bulbs are fine.

[@MsSjaakvaak]

I've had just that. I share a patio with my neighbors in the back of my house. Their outside plastering was repainted with RAL 9010 instead of the previous 9001 that was also old pale and worn. Now my living room looks like a hospital when the sun reflects in my neighbours faced. Never thought that would have such a big effect. I solved it by installing warm coloured net curtains

​@@baixuThank you for responding. As an animal advocate, and with so much human disregard towards animals, I had to inquire. To me, having a happy, healthy, well cared for animal/friend in your home spreads peace and tranquility. It is true nature in your home. (I have 4 resued cats). Watching your videos and your style of delivery, has taught me so much. Straight to the point with reasonings, diagrams and photos showing illustrating the differences. Thank you again !
