AWKWARD SPACES - Open Concept Layouts (Pro Space Planning Tips!)

AWKWARD SPACES - Open Concept Layouts (Pro Space Planning Tips!)

Welcome back to the awkward space solutions series. I’ve saved the best for last! If you have an open concept floor plan that you find awkward and just can’t figure out, this video is for you!

Your comments came pouring in when it came to designing your open concept floor plan. You
found it awkward to place furniture, to get the flow just right, to figure out wall paint, lighting, colors, flooring, furniture… for some reason an open floor plan paralyzes you in a way that sectioned off homes and interior rooms don’t.

Do you have any awkward spaces you would like for me to address in this series? Comment below!

I just want to say you are the only youtuber that walks us through case studies. Also walks us through a huge list of pictures. I love the visual narrative of your videos. Rather than just the audio overload of someone talking into the camera. I think you are a very thoughtful designer and have a ton of very happy clients :)

Julie, have you ever considered writing a book or a blog with all of these design tips? I found myself constantly taking notes during everyone of your videos. Having you tips in writing would be amazing!

Dear Julie 💜💙💚 amaaazing once again... I am finalizing my space right now, I spent hours and days sitting in my headquarters learning about myself through your videos, knowing my space due your wisdom, reconnecting with my 6th sense. Total of 3 years to have a clarity, but sooo worth it. It was like a masterclass I had studied and now I feel at peace with what I know and therefore have created. Thank you, teacher 💜💙💚 love and abundance to you and your family 🌸

Julie, you’ve hit the nail on the head for me when you said that I could feel “paralyzed” by my open space home. We’ve lived here for four years already and I just can’t figure out how to arrange furniture or what to buy to replace the old furniture. Then there’s the windows, the lanai, the lighting, etc. So much. This was my very first video to see and I was encouraged. I look forward to watching more. Thank you.

These tips are excellent! I have an open plan, and I had always wanted a TV corner. Not until this year, I did what Julie says “Define the areas”. After a lot of thinking I managed to get 4 distinct areas: sitting room (with no TV!), dining area, TV corner and kitchen with an island and bar stools. I am thoroughly enjoying it!

[Eyematter]

Enjoy all the Julie Khuu regardless if they are applicable to me. The cadence of the video from room to room allows me to focus in on objects before you cut to another room. Because you linger longer in the areas you are discussing, i dont have to constantly stop video and go back a few frames to catch that moment again and again. I really appreciate that. I have a very uniquely awkward small open living space that has sat empty for three years because it is that awkward. I am emotionally paralyzed for fear of bringing out the worst in it. I look forward to more problem defying strategies. Thanks a Bunch!

Her visual examples are stunning and really drive the point home

I just purchased an open floor plan home and this video is amazing. I had considered all one color look between the kitchen and living room but now I get that each zone should be unique. I love that. Thank you for a wonderful video with all the visuals to help!

Hello Julie! My daughter has recently moved into her own house. As she asks me for decorating advice I keep your tips and rules in mind. Her place really coming together nicely. Supper modern, open concept, and edgy.
Thank you for your videos 🌹

I love this series. Everyone on my street who has the same floor plan as mine, has no idea how to arrange the furniture in the space. But, I do now that I've watched these episodes. One up on my neighbors. Good thing I like to share.

Looking at this again, as I need some ideas. The condo I'm looking at has a good sized kitchen tucked into a back corner of the great room LR/DR. The original cupboards are painted cream, good hardwood floors from the entry across and into the kitchen. I think the solution is cabinet colour to echo colour used in the main room. Plus filling in the area between the top of the cabinets or doing away with upper cabinets altogether. Thanks Julie - love your videos.

[tessnjokie]

When watching your videos I make sure to do so in my study room with all the recording/note books to take down notes. We don't deserve you Julie, thanks for everything. Love from Kenya!🌹

[LebohangPonoane]

This was the most wonderful series I have ever watched on YouTube. I'm really enjoyed Julie and Thank you 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

[Stellaperez]

This was a wonderful series! I learned so much. Looking forward to what you bring us next! Thank you Julie!!

[GirlBossBeauty]

Absolutely loved this entire series. My new home had almost every issue so it was timely.

Hi Julie I just find your channel and binge -watched every episodes. You are an inspiration. I am an interior designer been working in the field for 8 years, for the past few years I wanted to start my own business but was worry that I will not be able to get clients . Your video appear in my algorithm was a 💡moment, it couldn't have come at a better time. Beautiful work. Love your channel .🙏

[djosephine]

Perfect timing! I’ve been working on this the past few months for my open concept apartment. Wow I love the openness but trying to section off living spaces is hard, all while keeping the design and flow right.

[ZullyMFra]

I loved how you analyzed the different "awkward" spaces -- I got a ton of ideas and understood how to better handle my own open floor plan concept. Thank you so much!!

[sophiestewart]

Lots of new builds have galley style open space living room kitchen areas with formal dining in a completely different room. Would love this aspect to be addressed, especially with corner fireplaces and the entryways cutting through the space. I've never felt so cramped while having so much space. you are stunning and I love your channel. Thank you!!!!
