If all my subscribers could just refer 10 friends, colleagues or family to become subscribers that would be huge. It's free and the larger the channel gets the more great content and surprises we can produce, and as the channel gets larger we have amazing plans to share with everyone. :)

Colour! Although I love the rustic, natural style that incorporates vintage elements, I see so many spaces that lack colour. So I’m glad you mentioned 3 different colours in three ways, and even gladder that I have it already without having been intentional about it! Blue/green (curtains, dining chairs and art/cushions); yellow (couch, rug, art); and pink (throw, rug and art) 😁

Awesome to have these principals laid out instead of randomly fiddling around and sometimes hitting by accident!

🌟 Woot! Going to be sharing this video with my Mom. She needs to see that part about scale BADLY. My sister and I have told her about that until we finally gave up and said "whatever "! A full size dining set and full size hutch is not suitable for a little kitchen area! Can't even pull a chair out to sit without hitting the hutch that holds nothing ever used. 🙄 Maybe since you're a professional, she will see the light. Also hopefully she will be charmed enough to become a regular viewer too! 😅

This really is one of the best interior design videos I've watched. You so clearly and concisely explained these different design rules. A lot of times we can appreciate all these individual pieces in a room, but then not understand why it still looked cheap or badly designed. This was a really great video. More videos like this would be awesome! Maybe getting into it a little deeper. Addressing other rules or techniques. Thank you. I loved it!

I really appreciated this video. I never heard of the 60-40 rule, and yet it's obvious when I look at a space. I probably will hire someone when we redecorate our family room. Having someone to bounce ideas off of and receive advice is a cost saving move. I've made mistakes, and have had to live with them. I'd rather not do that again!

Excellent core elements, many new principles, to me. This was so useful to know!

I just love when people add art to a space. When it's not there, something personal seems to be lacking.

Thank you for using examples that reflect what a lot of people have to work with. I hate when designers use extremely expensive interiors to make their point. It only serves to distance great interior space planning from the common Joe. This has to be one of the BEST videos on making the most of what we can afford to create spaces that are beautiful and functional.

Another amazingly helpful video. Than you, Garrett. I think that every home space needs comfort and practicality, which are linked. You alluded to this when you pointed out the coffee table floating between and inaccessible to two sets of furniture. If a space is not comfortable we will not use it, no matter how beautiful or on trend it is. If it is not practical it will annoy us every time we have to rearrange things to accommodate how we actually use the space. One of your real talents, Garrett, is your instinctive balance of form and function.

Subscribed. After a year or so of lurking (constantly) and binge-watching (every now and then), would be really rude not to. I think there is a niche for more in-depth interior design content and you are the only person on you tube I know who responds to this demand. Most of us are beyond the basic 'rug-too-small/curtains-hung-up-too-low' advise (though we all make these mistakes and knowing things theoretically does not translate into doing them right all the time). I would really appreciate videos that exhaustively 'study' a subject matter: be it a single design principle, a piece of work of a chosen designer or some interior design industry standards and secrets. All of which you are already covering, but it would be great if we could be going yet one step deeper. Thank you so much!!!

Threes, color use, 60/40. I can't wait to go upstairs and evaluate my rooms 🧐

I agree. Love that ceiling lamp, and table lamp.

I never thought about applying the golden ratio to design!! The golden ratio comes from the Fibonacci ratios. Most models faces have perfect fib ratios and nature has them everywhere…so .618 is 61.80%, the FLOOR space, this is SO COOL and makes total sense!!! I used them a lot in Stock Trading..so funny how everything is so connected 😊

I’m sure everyone has a favorite anchor piece they want to start with ( or maybe not!), but you start with your color palette first, then bring in a rug, or do you start with large upholstered pieces first, then go to smaller furniture pieces like end tables, then the rug?

I will be moving into my Welsh Farmhouse at the end of the month and I am getting very excited at seeing my ideas come together. I have held back from buying certain items until I can see everything where imagine it to go, like my living room rug… I don’t want to go too small but I don’t want it to drown the space either. I’d love to see a Goldilocks addition … too little, too much, just right and how to apply that, like the 60-40 rule. xx
