Please do a prop styling 101 video for people who know absolutely nothing. We would appreciate it.

[@rachelknopp6460]

yes, in particular for tablescapes!

[@erinknight6561]

Agreed!!

[@gjimjams]

Yes please!!!

[@morgan3llis001]

yes like practical ones for our homes!! no cut up tomatoes out on the counter lol

[@bonnie_rose]

Yes-practical home styling 101, please! Your videos have leveled up everything else about my home, but I still struggle with the styling!

[@jasminegurneau3902]

Thank goodness for any content creators that still make longer videos because I can't do shorts- at least not for interior design type content.

[@catetanenbaum2418]

Totally. Binging shorts makes me feel even grosser than binging KZbin videos haha.

[@valentin4071]

30 minutes is not enough Paige wisdom ❤

[@JillBrewerVideos]

I could watch you for hours, Paige. If you like long form, I’m here for it. Idea: go to some open houses and tell us what you think.

[@LisaApril]

For the first picture with the wood around the windows I would just use Roman shades. For privacy they're great without being very heavy visually.

[@beckykueng3017]

Good Idea !!!

[@global.american]

Love the green walls while keeping the trim wood in your friend's office - gotta keep that craftsman detail!

[@goodyxeroxx]

Agree. Please don't paint that lovely warm wood. I think the olive paint looks great and if they go with that, pull it up onto the ceiling, too. If budget/time/fucks given allow, I'd pull up the carpet and if carpet is necessary, get something like a nice brown-beige with a grid pattern for visual texture and depth.

[@pegm5937]

Yeah, the colour of the wood trim in that room is fire. Don't paint that.

[@beckykueng3017]

I thought the very same thing !!

[@global.american]

@@goodyxeroxx umm yes. thissss

[@danielasalazar5289]

Yes! The wood is beautiful, painting the walls looks very nice and if they have more of a budget I would remove the carpet and install wooden or faux wood floors😅

Hi Paige, in another video you did with Kate you talked about cool frames and ways to frame pictures and art. It would be really interesting if you could make a video on how you would pick a frame (color, size, style) for a given piece of art, etc. I feel many of us have art or posters we would like to frame but are unsure of the best way to do it.

[@Smithurene]

This is exactly what I came on here to ask for!!! - please, I need help framing my art. I have a great shop nearby, but I don’t know how to choose matting and frames that will enhance my art or make it look cool. What is your process for that? This is a dire circumstance- I am 42 and still using sticky tack to put up my frameless art. 😅

[@MicaelaHoo]

Agreed!

[@_wesleyhome_]

Contrary opinion: The Murano glass sconce is lovely and if there is documentation as to which factory produced it, then of course you should buy it. Depending on the factory, it may have long-term value as well. I could see it in a powder room for sure. The Ingo Maurer Lampampe lamp is a currently available (and well-known) design, though if you have access to an original from the 80's then of course it's far more valuable and can go for a couple thousand $US. It's an investment if that's your thing, but it's beautiful either way. It's famous for a reason. I've bought reissues of deco lamps and when they're done well, they're still gorgeous. Definitely a statement piece and you have great taste! ☺ The yellowish Emsa (NOT "Esma" which is what the listing shows) is a vintage piece from the '70's and that's actually a really good price. Buy it.

[@Siss2012]

Yes to everything you said! Actually it is knowledgeable opinion, not contrary!

[@vaderladyl]

Yes I agree as well.@@Siss2012

[@l.m.n.2338]

I like your longer videos. It's nice to watch over a cup of tea Sunday evening. Or like today while folding laundry, haha! I am so into the mood board reviews. I recently made a mood board for my dream interior makeover and it is so helpful. It made me slow down on purchases and be more intentional. I just use Google Slides. The ones you showed were all excellent. I may send mine in the future. I will say the hardest decision for me is bedding. I've been into all white bedding and curtains for a while and am over it. I'm just nervous about committing because I only want to buy high quality and don't want to make a mistake.

[@theophrastuscarnegie6242]

I think adding a touch of red reliably makes your space redder.

[@otterotterotter]

Speaking of bus/train seat fabric, you can buy furniture and pillows and stuff like that with the fabrics from the train and buses around London from the London Transport Museum's shop.

[@MrPAULONEAL]

30 minutes is a good run time for a video.

[@Rosa.NataliLi]

Thank you so much for your help Paige! I bought the sofa with a metal frame for 200€ :)

[@wasselpa]

such a good find!

[@Frook52]

Does the sofa convert to a bed?

[@Rosa.NataliLi]

@@wasselpaThanks! Maybe one of my best finds😊

[@Rosa.NataliLi]

@@Frook52sadly no :(

[@theodoragalanis8893]

hi! great find! where is this sofa from?

[@BETH..._...]

Your suggestion for blinds for the wood trimmed windows was excellent ... that wood trim is absolutely beautiful! 😍

[@JaniceKirchoff-yz6bs]

Unsure about pop of red in each room but I do have a pop of orange in each room and a red cabinet in the hallway. Love the long video.

[@cowalarmclock]

I got a Ruggable rug from the Iris Apfel range - definitely not a traditional style, but I was really taken with the designs. Don't see myself getting bored of it any time soon. And being thin enough to stick in the washing machine is great, because a toddler peed on it within 24h of delivery.

[@Heyu7her3]

Oh WOW! 😮 Didn't know about this collection. Thanks for the suggestion!

[@berlinorama]

I have an incontinent older dog and my Ruggable runners are godsends!

[@anniedesignsstuff]

Love the long videos! You should definitely do more of these submissions as well as the mood board video idea!

[@Liz-nx3xl]

Have you ever watched the KZbin channel Never Too Small? It might be a fun video to have you review a few of the apartments. Also I love the old tiles in the bathrooms! Good advice to keep/save them.

[@ShenanK]

Your love for mustard yellow is the perfect foil for my love of green. Every time you choose or suggest yellow I am giggling because I never would but it's comforting that you know what you like and stick with it. Every time you hate something green I am swooning at it, so I giggle at myself. Keep loving what you love!

[@RubyVee14]

Your friend's office woodwork looks heavy because of the contrast with the light walls and the light visual weight of the desk. I'd paint the walls a color that compliments the wood (think earthy warm muted tone like adobe or clay) and then get a desk that has the same visual weight as the closet doors. I'd also add a decorative rug or some type of patterned element to the room to tie together the wood and wall color. A book shelf across from the closet will also balance the room.

[@charlicoca123]

You should do a list of all the pink interior design pieces/trends that you actually like for Valentine’s Day lol

[@lilamarcenaro8971]

ahhhh Paige i sent you that bathroom picture as an inspo pic and it’s NOT my bathroom 😭 but very glad to know you like the tile!!!!!

[@wasselpa]

hahahaha oopsies! I was like damn this bathroom is NICE

[@jenniferclyde8911]

I like the longer content, like you said it’s what I come to KZbin for. All the social media companies are trying to be TikTok right now and it’s stupid. I also love all the videos where you give real people advice on items/mood boards/fabric/etc And unsolicited suggestions but parts of this video really made me want videos on a) lampshades and the shapes/styles/pairing them with bases/whatever you want to say about lamps, and b) cabinets to put tvs in! I REALLY want a cabinet to put my tv in, BUT new ones are either hideous or a million dollars, good vintage is also a million dollars (in my immediate area anyway, maybe my next vacation is searching for a tv cabinet lol) halp 😭

[@Sirmics25]

21:40 Keep the wood trim!! I would suggest new carpet with a pattern of some sort. Anderson Tufftex has some really great options. The pattern “Imagination” is brand new and so pretty. Make the room feel like an office, not a bedroom. Also, maybe a new light fixture?

[@furnitureenjoyer]

I would love to see a WAS x tulip light fixture you always pick great fabrics!

[@emilybitting8090]

Marie could maybe add a cool rug OVER the bland carpet?

[@chicgal3]

I loved those rugs at I believe 17:27, mark (would love to know where they’re from?) *Your friends Office IMO could use some type of lightweight rug even though she has what look like a rug flooring in her office, just to break it up, & define the desk/Main work Area. Wish we could see more of it & I think some type of semi sheer burlap or bamboo blinds would look really nice and filter some of the light when she needs it to work and look at her computer screen. A large Plants 🪴 🪴 in in the corners & small ones hanging from the windows🎍 would bring some life & color into the space and energy And why not some nice artwork to look at you always say to hang some thing on the window or in a different space. Maybe something she loves or aspires to that she could kind of glance out at when she’s on a conference call or something. Hope you see this.😊

[@jaclynelise2966]

If you are looking for washable rugs, HIGHLY recommend Revival. Not the thin ruggable ones. Very soft and cozy!

[@heidi1000]

I love Ruggable Rugs! We have them all over our home. We have a little senior dog that has accidents often and it has really saved us money. Just pop them in the washing machine and dry them on low - and they come out looking brand new! Definitely recommend them if you have pets.

[@jinayadixon8022]

Thank you so much Paige for approving the coffee table I’ve been unsure about (last one). Adding to cart as we speak!

[@Frook52]

Get yourself a little space heater!

[@blueoystercolt97]

I have the same bathroom tile as 16:28. I’ve been wanting to re-do it, but it’s encouraging to hear you think it’s nice, Paige! I think I just need to spruce it up by re-grouting

[@bobbimurray7664]

Those pleated lampshades are just dust traps...

[@JanieE.]

I had a ruggable rug in my living room and I hated it - the pattern and color were nice, but it was so thin and felt cheap. Because it was so thin, it was hard to get it to lay flat as well, it would get wrinkled up very easily. It was also impossible to wash at home because it was too big.

[@Heyu7her3]

They offer different thicknesses now

[@ashboheme]

For Marie’s office, I would paint the walls green and keep the dark trim. I have dark wooden trim in my bedroom and painted the walls a sage green last year. Feels like I’m in a forest, I love it!

[@jnic2649]

Marie’s office. ONG pls don’t paint the wood. It’s such a rich warm color. If feel like she needs it with the gray carpet. New desk and curtain set up is what she needs way more than painting trim.

[@margearita2355]

Thank you for being an advocate for vintage tile. It is so difficult to find! Nothing is as much of a time stamp as tile trends.

[@andreataveras4358]

Please do a video on office spaces/cubicles!! My cube is so sad and grey I need suggestions so bad.

[@tepafish]

You do so many great videos, but these are my favorite, for some reason. Also ruggable: mid in terms of quality and design, but 100% valuable if you have a high traffic home w/ babies, dogs, etc. etc.

[@JeanneHaegele]

For your friend Marie, I like the green walls and don't think she should paint the wood trim. I think she needs to put an area rug down over part of the current rug to add some interest and color to the room. Floor is otherwise kinda boring.

[@reneesmith695]

I love art on the ground…it’s fun to switch things around as the mood hits you.❤

[@Dozzzzy]

I agreed with everything except the metal framed couch 😭 Looked so cold and uncomfy

[@keg2140]

Please Paige, I need a video on good overhead lighting

[@graceschoffman5038]

for the person who was considering the pink lighting, i actually love it!! reminder this is just Paige's opinion :)

[@wasselpa]

I will basically say no to anything pink lol

[@Siss2012]

Me too! Such a dreamy art deco piece! Get it, it is stunning!

[@Shannon_710]

The unsittable stool looks like a toilet to me.

[@lulubelle65]

I would take that white bookcase and paint it a dark color-green or navy-and then wallpaper the insides.

[@jennyinouterspace]

Instant click as soon as I’m notified you posted a vid 🤣🤣

[@emilykath5267]

Love the long form videos talking through design ideas! Definitely would love to see one with moodboards 🙂 For your friend Marie's office, I would say don't paint the baseboards. I think natural wood grounds the space and the tone of the wood in this office is pretty nice. I would say paint the walls either the color shown in the video or a slightly warmer green. And then put an area rug to cover most of the grey carpet for more color and texture. However, I'm not sure if the desk, chair, and treadmill would sink into the rug too much and look weird. But I think there has to be something on the floor to lighten up the space.

[@neuralsodar]

For Marie’s office- the wood trim and doors with the green looks beautiful. I vote don’t paint the trim.

[@ramunez.8163]

Usually I am watching the videos while I’m having breakfast, so longer videos are great. Have time to eat and enjoy my morning coffee 😊

[@CheerUp2]

My boyfriend got the green ikea arm chair and it is low, but it is perfect and sooooo comfy

[@waterloobicycleworks]

Omg, I had to pause the video because I was laughing so hard at the spill and “am I good?!” moment! 😆 thank you!

[@freeworldradio6]

The moment sofa's are soooo perfect

[@hereforit2347]

I totally agree. A TV in a really nice cabinet or armoire is the best idea. If you’re lucky enough to have an actual den, TV room, movie room, or family room that is separate and apart from the living room, put the gigantic TV in there on full display, up front and center and put smaller TVs that you can hide or obscure in your other rooms. 📺

[@helloterra34]

I'm very excited to see your table linen line ☺

[@peztopher7297]

It's going to rain more this week! (I'm in So Cal, too.) Get a small space heater and/or a fan for your little office. Have them pointing close to you. I can get by without AC most of the day with a small fan a couple feet from me. And wear cozy clothes for the cold. I used to heat one room in an old house with the space heater. This is not a long video at all, to me. You could even go 45 minutes, depending on the subject.

[@alexisrosario2622]

I love longer videos because I watch these on my Fridays after 16-hour shifts with a joint and munchies. So... TY😢

[@kellybelk2874]

I really enjoyed this video to see so many different things people are finding. Do more of these. I really like hearing your opinions on the items and the websites. You had a lot to add to each submission. And I like the long form videos. Signed up for the newsletter now bc of this video 😊 Hope this feedback helps!

[@user-pf6ve1jx6p]

TV on an easel can look fabulous🦊 Style is subjective (shade is never subtle…if you know you know).

[@JKLOLgirl101]

You should do a live version of this on youtube so the viewers can chime in real time and chat about the pieces! Maybe even have live submissions too.

[@Siansonea]

I think the windows at 2:44 should have wide-slat wood blinds on each window, in a wood finish that is as close a match as possible to the window sashes and trim wood tone. That would almost give the look of custom wood louvered shutters, which is really nice in a heritage home. The 'couch skin' should be E. Definitely E. The office at 22:16-Don't paint the wood trim, paint the walls. I nice green is always a good choice. Art on the ground: As a rule, I wouldn't. But every rule has an instance where it could/should be broken.

[@Modnyy]

The office space- the green works. Ultimately I think it’s the computers and desk throwing the room off. I don’t know rest of room but she should get a wooden desk turn it to face the door in the middle of the room - command position. Then maybe add a cool rug under it, and some art pieces on the walls, and nicer curtains

[@DweDhako]

I love artwork on the ground! Especially with a low sofa like the togo.

[@CL-rh8ti]

[@andreacleghorn479]

Not a fan about blinds, but how about a roller shade covered with for each window? I'm thinking maybe a William Morris type fabric.

[@vaderladyl]

Yes something more elegant than blinds will do the window frame justice.

[@ads1175]

Hi Paige! Here's an idea for your next trip: places that Ben & Erin Napier has renovated. I believe they've upgraded some small towns across the US with some help from their friends from HGTV (sorry I forgot the show's name) and I think it would be cool if you pay a visit to those towns.

[@eevandersonn]

Wasselpa video was needed more than usual this week

[@drekfletch]

For the sofa skin, B. E is close, but it's the wrong kind of blurry to work with the sharp lines around the room (tiles and cabinets, spherical lamp with stripes, inset window.) It's blurry which could be a nice contrast, but it's blurry in one direction and a stripe in another direction, so it can't make up it's mind.

[@AutumnLucas75]

30 min is great - love the mood board idea!

[@johannawurschlop4457]

I think the massive window frames need some more stuff (art/pictures) around them, prefferably including some darker (wood) colours to balance them out a bit and make them less overpowering

[@Monique-rn9lg]

Girl.... put an electric heater in your office. My art studio was converted from my garage and yeah, it would get very cold but the heater does the trick. Also got a window-fitted air conditioner. Makes all the difference here in L.A. I hope your friend does not paint the wood. I've got original old-school wood-pained windows that I love. Husband wants to tear them out, enlarge the dining room and put in French doors. He's modern/minimal..... I'm House & Garden with an abundance of art. How we are still married is a mystery.
