I totally dislike the chopped pillows!🤪 I like fluffy soft pillows instead. I like COLOR, too..both of which aren’t ‘popular’ right now..guess I am a rogue decorator, heehee!

1. Styling Cushions in groups of three, varying sizes, colour, and textures
2. Styling in groups of three, triangle/diagonal rule, scale, texture, colour
3. Wall Décor: hang mid-point of wall art 56-58 inches from floor
4. Scale and type of pattern: stick to 2 and one prime and the other accents
5. Balance and Symmetry

I love how you left the example photos more stationary in this video rather than panning. Like the 57” tip!!!

I do the placement of 3 decor items and it is like
Magic for spaces as well as much of the other tips you gave. Was just reaffirming that these tips make a difference. Over the years shopping high end furniture stores has helped to realize color And placement are key and going for a cohesive look. Finally to younger women take charge of your home environment don’t be bullied by a guy but do Keep comfort in mind.✨✨

The 57 inches mid point for art work was really important for me to learn. I never knew this tid-bit of information & cant wait to go in & measure how far off my art is off or on que! Thanks for all the fantastic advice. Can’t wait to see more from you...

[natsmcmon]

Totally just measured my wall art. Not 57" 😬. Got some more prints to add below 😂. Thanks for these tips!

[kitasworld]

The cohesive home tip was exactly what I needed. I’m a new DIYer and I’ve been overwhelmed with matching colors !! Thanks so much.

36 year old dad here. My place is done up MCM. I appreciate the concise delivery and staying on topic.

LOVED today’s video! Im definitely feeling inspired to find ways to incorporate these tips around my home now! Super informative and helpful!

[aprilsecondchapter]

Thanks for the tips. I'm gonna have to measure all my pictures now to 57"! And you've inspired me to keep the same color palette throughout the house. Keep on with your talent. You're inspiring and informative.

[katiebeantown]

I feel like my mind just expanded! I have always been frustrated with my lack decorating skills, despite my high level of interest.
I am looking around at my home now and it’s like you highlighted exactly what needs to be changed! I can do this. TY!!!!

[chuckweigand]

Kristen, thank you so much for this video! After so many years of mismatching (pretty much everything), you just showed me what adjustments I need to make. I look forward to watching your other videos!

[elwood]

One principle I think is really important (that dovetails with Scale) is Visual Weight. Making sure that the furniture and decor you use have appropriate visual weight REALLY helps! Visual weight is a product of factors such as size and color (and even pattern). For instance, bold colors are interpreted by the brain as visually heavier. Knowing this will help you maintain balance among your furniture and objects. A lazy boy is going to look heavier than a traditional chaise. Generally, it’s a good practice to stick to one area of the spectrum (e.g. it’s not recommended to decorate with both a delicately framed chaise and a chunky lazy boy in the same space). : )

I absolutely love learning tricks and tips about decorating! It's my favorite thing. The moment you said 57 inches to the middle of the picture I got up and went to measure!! Yay! I was pleasantly surprised!! Thanks for sharing!
