I realized I live in a home not a hotel, so my cozy colored sheets are staying.❤️❤️❤️

[buzzbear]

I looked around my living room and decided the number one thing is to clean it.

Your comments are spot on - another insightful post from you! One small suggestion: please use more "typical" home examples. The spaces you've worked on are incredible but very out of touch with the average viewer. It would be much more helpful to see a high-end example and another more simple based on what the average home looks like.

1.7 dislikes are the competition 😂. I think this lady is awesome she knows exactly what she is talking about. Her tips have helped my home feel more cozy and less crowded. I never knew I can fix my living room making into a whole new room.

My three things would be ripping out my carpet and installing hard surfaces, putting in taller baseboards, and fresh paint!

Thank you we followed your ideas. We added modern art in most rooms, upgraded all lighting fixtures and hardware. We are currently adding wainscoting and crown molding throughout the house. We already own a luxury house and now it looks as though it’s a million dollar house!! We received so many compliments from the people it matters such as the plumbers, landscapers and even the pizza guy.

Julie, I design interior spaces for family members and friends. And I am watching your channel to brush up my skills because I actually took a job designing spaces for clients! I love the tips you gave to make a space look more expensive. To me, orchids can definitely make a space look more premium and expensive as well. I love and have definitely made some takeaways from your video!

Wallpaper, ceiling detail, lamps, gallery pictures, seating zones, molding, huge statement art, white sheets, nickel hardware or black matte, symmetry, window covering layers, & customized.

Panel molding changes everything! It's also relatively easy to add to your own home afterwards. Great video as always Julie!

[boyroyboy]

White towels too! Classic, clean, timeless.

[sydney]

DANG I HAVE NEVER WATCHED A BETTER VIDEO EVER. THESE TIPS ARE ACTUALLY GOOD.

Basically I need to throw the entire house away and start over 😩

I hang my mortgage payment right on the wall so everyone can see it.

I just discovered Julie Khuu and she is fab! I've been intensively redecorating my flat since the pandemic started, and I'm almost done. After watching this video, it reinforced the 3 things I am doing withing the next week:
1- Hanging wallpaper on 1 wall in my entrance hall/office, exactly what people see behind me on video calls. Really high ceiling, so I hope I don't fall and break my neck tomorrow.
2- I have a mid-century modern style armchair, second one arriving next week for the balance Julie mentioned
3- I'm ordering all white bed linen
Thank you for all the tips!

[hazelstream.]

I just discovered you Julie! So glad I did, you are a ray of sunshine, especially during this time!

[kara]

White sheets always!! Also, I think a home design is never complete without large house plants/trees

[overcomer]

Oh my gosh thank you so much for mentioning white sheets I went to all white sheet years ago best decision ever there is nothing like crawling into bed on klis crisp clean fresh white cold sheets. Heaven on Earth

[smriti]

WoW, the best video that describes the word “expensive-home”

[chrismartin]

Five stars Julie! So 90% of what you spoke about I've already done in my home out of my own intuition. Then near the end you said get rid of the vinyl blinds. I keep them because I'm concerned about the sun fading my artwork, furniture and rugs. But I recently had my windows replaced with glass that seems to have UV protection. So I pulled the blinds up, pulled the shears and Wallah, it looks great! What I really liked about your video is that you don't waste my time with fluff, you get to the points and give great information. I'm definitely a subscriber now, thanks so much!

Hi julie, I just adore your style! You are so optimistic and humble in the best possible way. You inspire me every time!😊
