Thanks Lesli! I enjoy sharing my knowledge and experiences to help others. Interior design is so much more than finding pretty pieces or regurgitating current trends on social media. I don’t claim to know everything and there are other great trained and highly experienced designers like Rebecca Robeson and Amy Studebaker for example that I enjoy watching in my spare time. Thanks for watching and subscribing. 😀😀😀

This was very helpful! I like symmetry, but am also aware that one heavy chair on one side of the room could be balanced with two lighter chairs ("airy") on the opposite side. I also appreciate that you identify that you are *trained* in this area; although many things can be left to "personal taste", it's important to note that there are principles to design that are aesthetic, and not just "personal opinion".

Great basics video for someone who is starting out or revamping a space. How about a vid on scale of baseboards, mouldings and door trim? Have to comment, Garrett that your attention to the pace of your videos is one of the many reasons I subscribe. Many other "decorators" speak too fast and appear that they are watching an egg timer and content gets lost in their hurried delivery. You are gifted in the ability to be clear and concise within your allotted time.

Glad I saw this before I went out to buy my first rug. I thought you only needed the furniture to touch onto the rug! 😅. 50% is probably be what I aim for first. Thrilled you explained that the rug doesn’t need to extend the length of a room and by making a grounded space, I’m leaving an intentional walking space. Sorry for all the comments but I’m just so excited!

My big complaint on all those shows on HGTV is that on the reveal, they mostly do nothing to elevate the windows. It mostly looks like they go to Target and grab some shades or curtains with grommets and call it a day. I have even seen them sew up some paint drop cloths to be a budget saver.

THANK YOU for this!! Especially mentioning hanging artwork higher or in line with architectural features! I also never understood the whole eye line “rule” I would hear from others. In my opinion, I like things that catches me to look up because I feel like we’re always looking down at things-phones, computers, etc. Anything that makes me keep my head up a little bit more automatically makes me feel “lighter” too.

Thanks so much for an actual rule on the curtain "fullness!" I knew mine were too thin, but couldn't figure out appropriate measurements to prevent in the future. LoneFox shared a great tip for eyelit curtains to look fuller. Put toilet paper rolls between the hidden sections and they always look full. The only issue is if it's a smaller window, I had to cut them down because when opened, the curtains were taking up 50-70% of the window space and not allowing light in.

This is so helpful thank you garrett ❤️❤️❤️
