If you do a console with a top that's the same size as the tank, it won't look like you just plopped the tank onto a table and said, "Good enough." You can also build niches, or half walls to put the tanks on, so they seem less random. Sizing the tanks so that they're a feature rather than an afterthought is a good idea too. Like, if you're going to have an aquarium, it should be roughly the same size as, or larger than, a television that you would use in the same room. Dinky tanks, like the ones you see lining the walls of pet stores are always ugly. If you're going to do it, make it a feature.

Our deck isn't huge, but I wanted a rug to define the sitting area, so picked up the west elm outdoor rug you mentioned in a previous video as it's close to the stain colour of the wood.

I vent w eggshell blue velvet draperies in my bedroom bc soft blue-green is that room’s accent to cream->sand + varm oak, and I needed something to block the Nordic summer sun (which rises at 4am 😬). The rest of the time they’re just a vertical dab of soft colour, no other window treatment. I went for a similar solution in my small, fairly dark dining room - white on white cotton print drapes that can be pulled out for privacy - like when away from home - and strictly neutral strips of fake frosted glass. There is still light through, no privacy issue, no feel of bulk and the pure frosted look adds to the scandi (somewhat) strictness of my home. No other treatments, and the dining room has a full glass wall to the private atrium/courtyard.

Condo apartments are getting smaller and smaller, but furniture manufacturers are slow to follow the trend. I lived for years with a loveseat while dreaming of a couch I could stretch out on. I recently found a Canadian manufacturer that now makes a condo sized sofa, which is about midway between a two and three seater sofa, but having only one choice is limiting, although they do offer some options in firmness and leg and arm style, and fabric, of course. I still live without a coffee table though since I can’t find one narrow enough (about 12 in.) to fit the space. A sofa table, but coffee table height would be perfect ... I need a skill saw.

Awww MJ yay!!! 👏🏻🤩 I love sharing these tips and tricks with you guys...Saturday AM design brunch is the highlight of my week!! 💙😘 Thank you SO much for this sweet comment, and thanks for tuning in and supporting my channel! 💚🥰

I took down custom panels from our music room and my office, which are adjacent to each other, divided by the foyer. I took them down to have them dry cleaned. Now I'm thinking of not rehanging them!

Thanks Lisa for sharing the magic formula when hanging art. Now need the magic formula for how much wider than a table lamp at its widest a shade looks best at. Loved your small spaces tips, rugs and all.

Thanks, Lisa as always! Use of vertical space up to the top of the wall ---where wall edge meets the ceiling edge -----always makes the space look larger-----example ------bookcases ----the trick is to have well curated objects on the shelves so it is not a clutter receptical.

I’ve learned from both your videos on small space tips. I agreed with all your tips and will be following closely as I start to do up my new 2+1 study room condo which I just collected my keys. Thanks Lisa! 👏❤️😊👍🙏

Your videos are my number one inspiration! I think I did well in my 45 sqmeters when it comes to vertical space, furniture, window decorations and definitely with lighting! I opted for a round carpet in my living room since it’s not possible for me to clearly separate lounging and dining space, so to avoid „floating coffee table” effect, I chose that. I have white wall panels on one navy wall in my bedroom but it was so beautiful I could not resist 🤷🏻‍♀️ But everything else in the room is either white or light gold, so that little navy accent is just adding the character I think :) But I think I’ll add a mirror somewhere in that room - that will definitely make this 9 square meters room bigger!

Ooooh Kat - I think you're 100% nailing it!!! 🤩🤩 This space sounds absolutely AMAZING...way to go!!! 💚👏🏻 I DEFINITELY think adding a mirror will just be the cherry on top - good luck, and let me know how it goes!!! 😘😘💕

The custom Levolor Aluminum mini blinds we had put in our first house that are in off white matching the walls are still in good working condition. The ones on the sliding doors did have to be restrung. But you can still order parts for them. We have a wall of Windows and it is a pretty clean look with complete light and privacy control. It was a huge compromise between my husband and myself and I am glad we went with the Levolors. Husband wanted these crazy insulated mechanical roller shades that came down like a blanket wall over the windows that allowed no light control or privacy control. Up or down and no style. We had cats so curtains are impossible as they would scratch and climb them.

Love the mirrors, thanks for the tips girl!! 🥰❤️🌸🌼⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

We had to make two tiny bedrooms into one, because it would only fit a double bed, crammed against the wall. Even after a serious hack injury, my ex made me crawl across the bed to get in it, while he used the open side. Everyone warned “you’ll lower the resale value!”, but it was just unlivable, we couldn’t even get one dresser in the room, and the old Victorian closet wasn’t deep enough for hangers, they just used hooks.

Love your videos! ❤️ I’m going to school for interior design and I wish you taught a course!

I’m in Australia, and the very light window treatments would make rooms even more sauna like, specially for those of use without aircon. However I do love the way they look.

You are are good and teaching, not only the facts, but why!! Many thanks.

I'm watching this because I have a 12ft ceiling and a tiny floor space in my lounge area! Great vids!

Awesome and thank you! I moved to this small space with tons of potential and I'm working on fixing almost every single item you mentioned (except for rugs, I have big rugs). It has been a process. Your tips come very timely.
