This is by far the best interior design channel I’ve ever come across. The quality of the information is brilliant and consistent. Wish I had have come across his years ago it would have saved me a lot of time and money. One thing I would so love is if there was also metric measurements included.

After being chemically injured in our new home from breathing in so many chemicals from paint, new carpet, etc., my whole life changed. And so did my family’s. So, I’d begin with a paint that will not off gas chemical fumes. In short, We did our current house in ECOS paints which are probably the least toxic on the market. Natura is another brand that is much safer than most conventional paints. I believe you can buy at Benjamin Moore. My painter tries telling his clients they need to buy safe(r) paints and they balk at price. How can you put a price on your health? They do not understand potential negative health effects of using toxic paint. Paint can off gas from months to years. Poor Indoor air quality is a major issue these days according to EPA. I have read nightmare stories of people using toxic paint and getting sick or not being able to go into the room. Don’t risk it, friends. This comes from a chronically ill, chemically injured person.... 11 years now. Everything you bring into your home can either make or break your health. And wallpapers, don’t get me started how toxic this project is ;-) Happy painting everyone, but safety first. Your indoor air quality matters to your family’s health. Trust me.

[@elainelouve]

10 years ago we mostly used relatively safe paints when renovating, but a high gloss one for kitchen cabinets and some furniture. Never again... I'm asthmatic, so I knew to beware, but not well enough (my asthma got worse). These days I'm super careful with paints. Currently I'm fixing some old benches that need to be re-painted. Unfortunately chalk paint doesn't seem to work for furniture, but there's a semi gloss ordinary furniture paint that has the Nordic eco label, which means it must be free of certain toxic chemicals, because that's the label requirements. Also I'm working outside on my parents' yard.

[@johnjohng668]

curvyquill hi there....you might look at the safety data sheet on that product for more info. Be careful. I was also re-injured (nerve damage) from neighbors vented fabric softeners and dryer sheet scented chemicals that entered our unit thru faulty windows. Those products are super toxic unbeknownst to many people who are unsuspecting... so be careful....my friend... :-)

[@patricia7606]

Thank you. Get well soon 😌

[@gotchaz45]

I developed asthma after moving into the home we'd had built. New everything, of course... Had to sell after that first year. Another mistake... we were one of the first homes in our development. As other homes were being built we were inundated with all the building dirt, sawdust, and debris blowing in the air. Never again.

Your presentation is spot on. The way you focus on the light influence & other color influences in the room can not be over stated. Also, a nice quip is "cheap paint isn't good & good paint isn't cheap!" My fall-back line when working w/ customers who are challenging re colors is "now you know why painters drink!" Gets them everytime and allows me to retake the lead in the conversation to help them.

Great talk on paint. Always remember we bought a house years ago and the lady was really into Country, the whole house was painted Navajo white ( which can be kind of a light beige). I couldn't get light to reflect at night to comfortably read, I complained to my wife about it and she likes to paint, so a trip to home Depot and bought a big 5 gallon bucket of white paint, and she painted the whole inside of the house, her Mom helped her. After she had finished it was very noticeable that the previous owners painted the ceilings in Navajo white also, which was why I couldn't reflect light. This was almost 30 years ago, house had those dumb acustic ceilings, and my brother had a neighbor who was a painter he says if we wanted it white it would be simple to spray it, and he offered to do it then if we supplied the paint he wouldn't have to mask anything and sprayed it in about a hour and a half for $75 cash, what a deal, the ceilings stayed like that till 2013.

I had a long, dark closet with no electric light, so I painted it with white high-gloss paint. It was amazing what a difference that paint made in being able to see things in that closet. Another time, my church was doing a renovation and needed to put a dark, narrow staircase into use. My husband and I painted it with high-gloss white paint, and the staircase was absolutely transformed into a bright and welcoming entry. It had a landing, and we painted it a dark color so people would know they'd come to it.

Great series. I’m a graphic designer, illustrator. I’ve also created murals and wall faux finishes for clients. I too, have been a long time fan of Ben Moore, until they reformulated their paints. Even with additives like Flotrol, in general the paint doesn’t flow as it once had. Especially when painting trim. I’ve found that I must dip my brush into water and then the paint, in order to have a smooth brush free finish. One other problem, I recently run into, once a pant can is resealed, if their is any residue paint on the can lip, that can will rust on the edge and at the bottom (even stored indoors in a dry location) and I’ve had to strain and repackage the remaining paint into plastic containers. I’ve learned work around for these issues, but it’s a real hassle.

[@tickledpink6684]

All excellent and love your energy. One thing I would add is, if you have the luxury of long term, wait through the seasons. I remodeled my daughter's room top to bottom. It took 2 months, every night after work, while she slept on the couch. Halfway through the project, the beautiful sage green she had chosen started looking like split pea soup...just awful. After several days I realized the light coming through her dormer had changed as we moved from winter to spring and the big tree outside had leafed out adding another layer. I repainted in the same color family, but went several shades lighter and ended up where it had started in appearance. I have NOT made that mistake again LOL

I’ve had so many cheap paint disasters, including one where each roller stripe has to completely dry before next, it pulled off the wet paint in the previous stripe. For the last 35 years, it’s been Benjamin Moore every time. Quality is so important, especially when doing white trim, cheaper paints needs so many coats (even on properly primed surfaces), that they end up costing more, anyway. Even their cheapest formula is superior to other paints, and I usually get the middle grade, which covers in one coat. They also still have oil-based enamel, which is all I use on trim and moldings, latex paint doesn’t level well so gives a streaky, not smooth finish, and doesn’t dry hard, it stays soft and sticky, terrible for windows and doors.

Hey Jackie… I know, Paint is one of those super complex subjects… I’m so glad you enjoyed it!🥰🥰

[@nicolasmith1460]

Fabulous that you share your knowledge with us. It’s all simple logical steps to take .... that we wouldn’t have thought of!

[@lf9341]

I love the enthusiasm!

[@tulipthorn]

Aaw. Congratulations , Lisa! 🥳 Well done and happy anniversary. You’ve done a lot in a year; added so much value to my design journey. Thanks so much for sharing your light, knowledge, personality and enthusiasm. Thank you.

[@LisaHoltDesign]

Thank you so much for your kind comment! I really appreciate it! 🤩 I'm SO happy to know that I've helped! Thank you for being a part of my channel!🌟🥳

[@charisma-hornum-fries]

I can’t find those paints in Denmark but I can say that I have found black satin a magic ‘color’ in small spaces. Especially because the ceiling seems never ending and more exclusive than any other color. Thanks for the tips. They are great 👍

[@IconicDecoInteriors]

LOVED ALL THIS INFO! THANK YOU🥰🤗

[@celiathirlwall3329]

Excellent information Lisa!! Thank you so much!!

[@cherylewaneebele8331]

This is excellent! I am in the midst of painting my son's bedroom. I also intend to correct a matte finish black wall (Adjacent to the stand alone bath tub) in my bathroom. I am glad to know my choice of finish this time around could potentially be the right one! Your expertise will go a long way in successfully accomplishing these project and move on to the next room...

[@lizmilligan6177]

So helpful thank you Never understood why some paints with more expensive and now you’ve made it feel like it’s worth the investment if the colour might change on the wall.

[@jaduvalify]

I love these videos because every single strategy I need to bring out the best look for my place is thoroughly covered. This video about selecting the right paints is pure gold! I'm so happy to have found this channel! I can use the information offered in every one of these videos!

[@LisaHoltDesign]

Jaduvalify!!! Makes me so happy that you find these tips SUPER useful!!! 👏🏼 Welcome to the channel!! 🥰 Thank you so much for subscribing and joining our fun community!! 😘💖

[@AzzyWazzy0405]

So thankful I found you Lisa! Your energy is amazing (Oo!) You make interior design accessible. I worked in the hotel industry for some time (and stayed in a lot of hotels myself) and have always admired the expertise required to do up these small spaces. Waiting for my new apartment to be constructed and am very keen to use dark green in my bedroom and it feels super risky!!! This video gives me a systematic way to test the colours, so thankful!

[@utubeunclaire]

Love how you suggest paints in the UK and other countries. I hate it when you watch a video and then can’t get anything in your country. Thank you. Am definitely subscribing to your channel now.

[@LisaHoltDesign]

Claire!!! Welcome to the channel party!!!! 🤩💙 I'm so glad you found us! 🥰 I always try to include my UK friends with the resources I list! I'm always looking for more good UK sources, so if you have any favorites let me know!! 🙌🏻Thank you for this super sweet comment, and hope you're having a fabulous Wednesday! 💕

[@furkankurtuluss]

5000k “It’s great if you are in a surgery room” hahaha Another amazing video Lisa!!

[@HollyFurgason]

I got the feeling that if any us tried to use light like that and she knew, she'd show up at our door with the right bulbs in her purse and change them all out!

[@LisaHoltDesign]

Oh my God the hair on the back of my neck would stand up and I would head straight over!🤣🤣🤣💡💡

[@LisaHoltDesign]

Thanks so much Furkan! I can get a little intense around Lighting lol😂🥰

[@moeobrien8013]

Love the deep dive series! Thank you for answering the questions I didn’t know how to articulate!

[@DarrenbyDesign]

This deep dive series was amazing!

[@lisaalpert8900]

Love the paint suggestions!!!! Painted our house for sale (which we ended up canceling in the end - good thing) but now, I have a house with colors that all need refinishing....its just daunting to decide where to springboard from, as I find myself wanting to just redo everything new and fresh instead of the same ole thing....where to start to bring a cohesiveness to the house? now I know why folks hire interior decorators!!

[@13yorkdukes]

I'm in the process of buying a first home and this is all such great advice!

[@LisaHoltDesign]

So glad you enjoyed it and thanks for being a part of the channel!

[@ninae.lavelanet-lewnau143]

Love this Lisa! Thank you!!

[@tonyawilhour3284]

LOVING THIS CHANNEL!!!

[@mjlvnv]

This was great knowledge. You explained everything so well and I learned things I didn’t know. I feel so much more confident in painting my house. I really want to try to go outside my comfort zone and also try some cool wainscoting and molding wall features. I love your videos, they are so educational

[@LisaHoltDesign]

I am so happy I could educate you more about painting and even getting out of your comfort zone Melissa!!! 👏🏼🤗 Love to try new things out!!! If you end up going through with it, definitely let me know how it ended up!!! 😍 I love hearing what you guys are up to!!! Thank you so much for the sweet comment and for the support on the channel, it means more than you'll know!! 💖😘😘🙌🏼

[@whitneehoopes2541]

you are such a great teacher! you are straight to the point but also so fun and interesting. thanks so much!

[@LisaHoltDesign]

Hi Whitnee! Thanks so much for watching the channel!

[@mrsp5713]

Here I am a year later…but learned exactly where to begin. Been in our spec home (new to us 😊) for almost 3 years with matte flat light gray walls all over and I’ve been sooo scared to begin the painting process. But I guess it’s now or never. 😨😬 Thank you for these great tips. You’re so great at teaching these things to us novices.

[@Mr_Kenneth]

THIS GIRL IS A FLIPPING GENIUS 😍 THANK YOU ! X

[@jancross4817]

Not ready to paint my house yet - still under construction - but trying to get ahead of the decor game so your videos are really helpful. Great tips.

This couldn’t be more timely for me. I am planning a whole house paint job, including woodwork. I will definitely be using your rule of three’s. Also, I really like these in depth videos.

[@LisaHoltDesign]

Hi Victoria! How exciting! Make sure you take photos and send the before and after shots to [e-mail] so we can share with the rest of the club! Thanks for the support!

[@sonjaschaat3261]

Love the deep dives. Your tips are sound. Thanks so much.

[@andreatober9074]

Just love your programs. They are helping me so much

[@wmfang2219]

Happy anniversary! Congratulations! I hope one day you would sequence (or repurpose) some of your lessons/videos in a way that amateurs could learn and practice the basic process of interior design according to a road map consisting of prioritized video links to your archive. You are a great teacher and you are creating more than just-in-time contents.

[@LisaHoltDesign]

Yes... WM!! That’s exactly what I’m doing right now! I’m creating the DesignClub and you can get on my email list at www.lisaholtdesign.com and that way I will be updating you guys as to the progress of the channel! 🙂

[@inesloop]

You are one of the first youtubers I know who lists some options for people who live overseas (a European in London UK, here!). That shows a lot of consideration for your viewers across the world and it means a lot. Wonderful video as well. Thank you Lisa!

[@TBoucher375]

I just need more of your energy in my life right now. Buying a house at the moment and ready to dive into your channel even more!

[@LisaHoltDesign]

Yay!!!! Yes, more caffeine please 😂 please keep on watching 🙂 good luck with your new house and if you haven’t already done so, go to www.lisaholtdesign.com to sign up and get on my email list for the new design club

[@KHRN2014]

LOVE this deep-dive series! Thank you so much!! Subscribed! 💕

[@jennifercgraf5304]

Love it. I went no pigment white... because of the color of the film on the windows, the shadows in the house, etc.... one painter said he never did that before (I don't quite understand the purpose of that statement but I told him it's good to try new things.) Anyway - I LOVE the way the house looks. It looks bright and warm, because all the natural shadows and tint from the windows already lessen the value. Thank you!!!

[@nmj2411]

Lisa thank you for sharing! I love your videos! I always feel that I’m in class! What type of bulbs and what wattage do you recommend for interiors? I always feel like this is a problem for me. I don’t like the light to yellow.

[@HEVYNNandBO]

I learned so much from this video. I love the deep diving that you do as well as the linked items you provide. Keep making videos in this format - they're life savers!

[@LisaHoltDesign]

Thank you so much! Well, you are a lifesaver by writing such lovely comments and it helps me keep making the best videos possible for you guys! Thank you for so much for watching and subscribing 🙂🙂😘🙏🏻

[@anoceanofideas]

Nothing better than filling in the gaps and finding the missing links for projects! Thank you Lisa, I LOVE these in depth series. I feel so empowered and knowledgable thanks to you! Please keep 'em coming our way. You rock! :)

[@LisaHoltDesign]

Yay!! I'm SO happy to know I'm able to help! Thank you for joining the channel! Stay tuned for more fun videos!

[@chrisj891]

I found your channel a few weeks ago and I must say I absolutely love it! Your enthusiasm is amazing and you don't make it about yourself like many other youtubers do! After reading the comments I think a video where people can send pictures of their homes and you comment on them would be a lot of fun. I want to see how all these wonderful people are living and how they've implemented your tips and tricks into their homes. Greetings from Germany and thank you for bringing me so much joy!

[@LisaHoltDesign]

Hey Chis! Actually I’m starting the DesignClub where I’ll be doing exactly that every week in a LIVE webinars along with a ton other stuff so go to www.LisaHoltdesign.com to get onto my email list... you will LOVE 💕 it! It will start in Jan 2021!

[@_luv2_402]

I like you:D You come across as someone who enjoys your work and genuinely wants to help people. You are so very right about not making decisions from little paint samples. I learned that the hard way. When picking paint colors later, I had a spreadsheet with my notes about the appearance of various paints at various times of day, as well as how they looked next to applicable fixed elements, so I think your rule of 3 is definitely good advice. Some may think it's excessive, but if done, there is greater confidence the selected colors are the right ones, and as you said, mistakes are expensive! Rather than painting walls, though, I painted three to four 24"x24" thin, smooth boards, without wood grain (from Home Depot). The main colors would be on one side of the boards, and the accent colors would be on the back sides of the boards, all with one inch of true white painted borders. What I liked about the boards: - They could be moved around the room and/or the entire home - The extra large sample size was really helpful visually, especially allowing me to step farther back to see - The white borders made it easier to see the impact of the paint and its undertone without being influenced by existing wall colors - They could be reused/repainted and could handle two coats of paint without any curling or rippling as paper sometimes can - They could be held right next to flooring, cabinets, countertops, furniture, etc. - They could be taken to stores to check against something that wasn't in the home yet and could even be used to help select accessories One big tip is to hold the paint boards vertically, since that's the way paint is seen on walls. Don't lay paint boards down flat on floors or counters, for example. Small samples of paints and these boards cost several dollars each, but it's well worth it to avoid a costly mistake. If I had known about the option to have the paint store do a brush out or draw down, I might have gone that direction. Thanks for posting your video!

[@eiyela]

I really appreciate your international recommendations. I only know one of the companies in my area, but I do know it's a really good one. Thank you!

[@bev.sarkonak5646]

Your spirit is awesome! Educational and right to the point, thank you for helping us!

[@taunyawren8020]

I feel like you are my fairy godmother, thank you! I can’t wait for a white & or neutral series. I also love really dark colors! I have trouble with the other stuff mid ranges. It would also be nice to see flows of colors, and sheens in rooms.

[@emiliaolson642]

I’m a professional painter and color consultant and your advice is great! I’ll send my clients to this video. It provides an excellent overview of the color selection process.

[@LisaHoltDesign]

Emilia!!!! 🙌🏻 I am SO glad to hear this - I tried to do the topic justice!!! 🌟 There is so much to know about paint - it can definitely be intimidating! 💖😂 Thank you SO much for your stamp of approval, and thank you for this sweet comment! Hope you're having a fabulous week!!! 💚🤩

[@marypatlevitt823]

Lisa, I simply love your enthusiasm and generosity in shafting your knowledge

[@GiddingsMcCann]

Really appreciate this series. I used BM once, was disappointed. I use almost always SW. Their Cashmere line is very lovely and easy to work with.

[@lisapfeiffer2266]

I love this series! I am a newbie to your channel. I suffered from paint paralysis for 10 years. Luckily my final colour chocies turned out wonderful, but with you on board, decorating is going to be fantastic. I just know my lighting problems are going to be solved. Can't wait!

[@LisaHoltDesign]

Lisa!!! Paint paralysis!!! 😱💕 Congrats on your full recovery!!! 😂💙 I'm SO glad I can help you out a bit with your project - sounds like you have it 100% under control! 🙌🏻 Thank you so much for this sweet comment, and thanks for watching! 🥰

[@amybee40]

I thought I was the only one with paint paralysis! Lived for 10 years with horrible "sell the house quick" cold white walls... Now they are creamy and golden sand and celery...

[@cathylehman7538]

I am not a professional decorator but I will not use any other paint brands but Benjamin Moore. I am adamant and forever devoted.

[@LisaHoltDesign]

LOVE this Cathy!! 💖 Why switch up a great thing! 😂👍🏻

[@clairekurdelak2913]

Just found your channel! Watching a bunch of videos in a row. Love your energy, -and so happy about the shift happening in color etc towards warmth and earth tones!
