THE Worst Decorating Mistake (And How To Easily Fix It!)

[@bfranklin1052]

You are such a wonderful addition to the design space. I love your presentation; so calm and solid. I'm inspired to evaluate my space and change what isn't working as well as it could. Thanks so much!

[@kellyhopterinteriors]

Thanks so much for your kind words! I'm so thrilled you enjoyed the video!

[@TheChristineLindsay]

Really, really helpful and your presentation style is so calming instead of confrontational like so many are. Thank you.

[@kellyhopterinteriors]

thank you so much for such lovely feedback, Christine. Really happy to hear you enjoyed the video.

I’m so glad this video popped up on my page! My partner and I just bought a house so I have been doing a lot of research into creating a lovely space. I have seen many videos online of people suggesting to have matching colours but I haven’t seen anyone emphasize on the importance of incorporating different shades, not just the same colour. Thank you!!

[@kellyhopterinteriors]

So glad you found it helpful, Viktoria. I think you'll love the difference this tactic makes as you decorate.

Incredible taste timeless yet eclectic

[@kellyhopterinteriors]

The best interior design channel I’ve come across! Well-considered, excellent advice illustrated by exquisite, elegant designs. Thank you for taking the time to make and post these videos!

[@janeann3331]

I'm a casual painter, and it's true in artwork: one mixes colors, and you're not “matching” colors; it's nuanced with different shades of color. I never made this association in the area of decorating.

[@kellyhopterinteriors]

So glad this helped make the connection. As an artist, you're already ahead of the game!

[@thistledowntreasures7990]

Just recently discovered your channel. Your advice is all so inspiring and logical. I totally enjoyed the comparison to nature, and it makes so much sense the way you explained it. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us.

[@tslilbearshoppe9870]

I love the way you think and I love the tips because I use them in my home and I already know they work. It makes for a unique home and that is the goal.

[@mehitabel6564]

Aaaah I understand now! I understand why, when designing my clothing as well as my interiors, ALL my inspirations come from landscape images, and from the real landscape outside the window. I find something very satisfying in looking at those things. I even designed an outfit (I am a tailor and seamstress) based on a photo of two chocolate labradors with lolling violet/pinkish tongues. Thank you! That makes so much sense.

[@debif3230]

Thank you Kelly, a real eye opener and game changer. The image of that beautiful landscape at the end was so telling and educational. Outstanding!

[@gardenjoy5223]

Well explained. Will keep this in mind :) Thank you so much.

[@davidjones9146]

Excellent advice! I’m looking forward to more videos from you.

[@tammymcleod9860]

Great advice! I never thought of or seen in videos, colour used this way in decorating. Thank you!

[@kellyhopterinteriors]

So glad you found it helpful, Tammy. I hope you try this tip - it really makes all the difference!

[@JJ33438]

You are right. its so easy to see when you point it out! I have often wondered what is wrong with the flatness created by matchy matchy....wow now I know. thank you for this.

[@ChristieZachary]

Love! Excellent information as usual!

[@kellyhopterinteriors]

Thanks so much, Christie. So glad to see you here as well!

[@ChristieZachary]

@@kellyhopterinteriors thank you!!! You are very welcome!

[@emiliebova]

Made perfect sense.

[@kellyhopterinteriors]

so glad you enjoyed it!

[@EPpMac]

Kelly thank you for this well-explained and considered design video, so helpful and inspiring!!

[@patwilkinson2182]

New to your channel and love this episode

[@kellyhopterinteriors]

So glad to hear it - thank you. And thanks so much for following!

[@cathyraniceto]

Can you please describe in a video how you start from scratch. Colour palette first. Or find your favourite sofa and work from there. Where’s the starting point?

[@kellyhopterinteriors]

That is a great idea Cathy. I'll see if I can put together a video on this.

[@cathyraniceto]

@@kellyhopterinteriors thank you so much.

[@liz2959]

This was very interesting and helpful.

[@DianeMarcus]

Excellent advice! Thank you so much!

[@georgeszurbach444]

How about the use of colours on the walls ? From the examples you have shown the shemes operate similarly, white walls and different stades of à main colour theme for the furniture and accessories lifted by black accents.

[@kellyhopterinteriors]

I would use the same principle - perhaps even more so. Because the walls would be such a prominent hit of colour, I would definitely be careful not to repeat the same shade/tone/tint on other elements to prevent the space from feeling flat.

[@waekeke]

Great video! Where did you get that beautiful lamp from?

[@kellyhopterinteriors]

Thanks so much, so glad you enjoyed it. I've had that lamp for some 10 years, got it from a trade vendor.

[@conniemurphy5439]

I don't understand how to find your Masterclass that you offered in your video.

[@kellyhopterinteriors]

Hello Connie. I included it in the description :-) Here's the link: go.kellyhopterdecor.com/magazine-worthy-spaces-essentials

[@bettenotap4791]

You hit the nail on the head, this is the perfect learning tool for anyone and I love your calm manner. The landscape image and your bands of color on the side is so good. You explained the reasons why each layer of color choice is in the rooms. Well done, I loved this presentation! My mother followed this same theory years ago in her own home on a very tight budget, but we always had comfortable lovely spaces.

[@jannh29]

@conniemurphy6439, thanks for asking - I had trouble with this too.

[@marytorg]

In California and Oregon it is called an easement.

[@kellyhopterinteriors]

how interesting!

[@debrahill2272]

The ultimate goal is cohesiveness..🤔
