Hey Reynard - is it possible for me to find that painting/print behind you for my own apartment? Cheers!

I have an empty wall in my entry hall. I've decided to go with an atrium vibe wallpaper mural. It's a bit scarey (and pricey) to go that route, but the wall is simply too empty without something on it, and there is zero room for any other sort of wall art, as guests will sit on an entry hall bench in front of it.

Great video. Thank you !

Hi reynard where is your white table lamp in the background from?

Great video and good information.

Thank you for the great tips! ❤

Great content as always, thanks for all the knowledge in this channel, it's been very helpful when working on an interior design for my new apartment!

LOVE that shower with the LED strip. 😎

I just found you, but I already love your videos. Thank you for such succinct, engaging, and helpful videos!

Great advice we switching from pocket lights to can lights.

Some good helpful tips 👍 n handsome sweater choice today I definitely need to work on the wall art behind my living room couch-but hv zero art skills. So guess I can look around local artists

Good advice about LED lights! Thanks!

Fantastic tips! I've often wondered how the designers make LED strips look so seamless and elegant instead of garish. Also I've been guilty of the "everything in the same neutral" - I'm learning so much!! PS love your beige jumper -- looks beautifully polished on camera! Xo from Canada ❤️

Excellent food for design thought.

bravo...very good video.

All lights should be dimmed. We have exposed style led kitchen pendants. They work really well dimmed and provide sufficient lighting for most tasks

Watching vid now😄

I love your video but don’t understand the disdain for mass produced art. Not many of us have the budget or the inclination to DIY art. I’ve gotten a lot of art from Target and Home Goods. They look pretty good. There are a few I regret. I’ve also gotten art off Etsy. I think if a piece of art work makes you happy, go for it!

I dont think he hate "mass produced art" cuz it cheap, he hate it cuz every house/apartment got the same stuff. And supporting your local artist is better than buying soul less stuff that corpo churning out for pure profit.

Is that limewash on your wall ?

Can you do a video on ceiling fans?

Love your suggestion of incorporating different shades of a color on the paint chip!

Could you please let me know where you got your table lamp behind you? Thank you

Thank you for sharing your experiences. Useful content, I wish you success

I like a good accent wall that's cohesive with the rest of the room & not a jarring contrast. I'm planning on a light to mid-toned (unlike the typical, dark, deep colors) tiki wall for my aquariums & plants that will frame everything together & not stick out like a sore thumb in my otherwise Boho-Japandi house. Framing it with gently carved, mid-toned, wood molding should do it justice & help it match the built-in book cases & provide balance.

That image at 4:00 reminds me so much of that Victorious scene where they drop off a balcony

Thank you so much for saying that about “modernizing” homes. I’m tired of seeing people destroy beautiful old homes and sterilize them into having no personality or warmth to them whatsoever.

I was going stir crazy during lockdown lol. Don’t worry. It didn’t last long but I get roasted for it even four years after the fact. 😂

I love what you do! Thanks for sharing! :) I see that many items can be bought on Temple and webster. I live in Denmark (europe), do you know if they ship to Europe?

I used to not get fun stuff for my house for fear of it going out of fashion too but y'know what... Was boring. So I stopped doing that. Now I'm more happy. Do what you want with your house.

very interesting and factual material 👍

I really appreciate your distinction between the trend itself, and how badly/well it's executed. It changes the thought process from "I like this, but X picture makes it look tacky" to "I like this; how can I use it in a well-planned way?"

Modernising to the 20th century?? So not the century we’re currently in 😂😂

Oops my bad!

Ahh appreciate the tag Reynard! 🥰 It’s been fun experimenting and learning.

That kitchen with not one, not two, but three bulbs with different light temperatures was so infuriating! Lol

Ive always thought accent walls are tacky, never seen one I liked.

Hahaha! I peek my previous home in your cover photo. I’m the guilty party of painting over my door frame. To be fair, it was lockdown and I lost my job. So I was having a bit of fun. Would love to be credited for the photo even if it was poor design haha! Thanks for your input. Definitely learning.

I have a question for you ......why you point out the same design aspects which are dated, not pleasing to the eye, poor quality etc etc. You as an ID should tried not to do what others have done 7 months prior. Being original, daring and unique is a great part of ID.

You answered a question just by the simple phrase of, “You should only be displaying what is functional, sentimental or beautiful to you”. I recently replaced an ottoman with a coffee table. Everything I have is where I want it and I have been debating on whether I should get something to decorate it but deep down wanted it just with nothing. Same with my new end table. 😊😊.. Now I know that unless something with that criteria comes into my life, that is how they remain. ❤❤. Also, there is nothing neutral about my home. I need color. ❤ I have been a subscriber for about a month or so and I just love your channel.

Anyone know which shelving unit behind him is?

You can make it longer and have two magnetic attachment points on the long sleeve and at the bottom of the sleeve have a little bars that stick out and actually block the tripod mount from spinning mechanically instead of just squeeze fit

While I agree on your last point about modernizing homes, a better location is certainly not an "exception" considering there's a whole "location location location" phrase.

Most of these things are just lame choices ignorant people make but destroying period homes THAT is criminal.

For years I didn't buy lamps because it seemed wasteful when we had so many can lights, but I started adding lamps in the last few years and it really makes a huge difference in creating mood and energy in our living space. Glad you touched on this topic

Agree 100% with the LEDs. They already look tacky and childish to begin with but thatns to online personalities every sheep out there wants to jump on the trend and put LEDs everywhere...

I beg your pardon. Not all people use them because they're trending. Some of us plant parents use them for their plants that would burn to a crisp if put too closely to a window or window areas that don't get enough sunlight. I actually don't give 2 toots what anyone "thinks" about it because at the end of the day, I'm the one living there.
