The reason we Scandinavian people like it white or at least light is because it is so dark ouside. In december it is only 3 hours of light a Day. 😊 But we dont make it steril. We like real wood pieces, we love teksture 😊 and we dont have giant houses or apartments. So we have to have fewer things, but purposeful things. Things that Will be used, but we still want them to look Nice in the space. 😊 And we love to decorate

I agree with all of this. I hate symmetry but only when it’s overdone. I also really like contrast versus tone on tone. When you talk about scale- I actually recently got some lamps for my night stands that are technically “too tall”, but I love them! They are unexpected and it actually looks really good.

@MonicaB666 2 года назад

I love your take on "rules". I'm a bit tired of the typical rules (rug too small, etc..). I think we have to be aware of those, to understand the overall picture, and make informed decisions on what works for you. You transmit that in all your content and I love it. When people come in my front door and comment suprised on my black entry, I smile and think of you ;) thanks for being such an inspiration Hugs from Prague 🥰

I agree rooms need space for the eye to rest. Most of us will like a space with less color or pattern. I could not bring myself to call a designer back because they never asked what colors we like…. That is key to finding what resonates with each of us…. Hugs Valentina! Keep these videos coming!

Years ago I took my BORING fireplace column and added moulding and painted it super dark smoky gray and auuuggghhh I have never been so obsessed with something! A couple years back when we went to sell our house, our realtor was so into it. She said DONT CHANGE THE COLOR OF THE FIREPLACE, I was so proud. We are currently waiting to build a house (!!) and we are getting a full two story tall fully black wood clad fireplace wall- I truly can’t wait because I’m going to scream every time I look at it haha!

And with all that you were talking about matches all I have done, let me tell you is being a journey, but I love it. And when you were talking is like a had you with me all along.

Regarding the person who goes overboard with pattern, what about the gal that maybe doesn’t take it far enough in fear of over-doing it? I think this is where my spaces fall a bit flat.

We are currently remodeling but one thing we had so wrong was scale. We had these super comfortable chaise lounges and while they were comfortable they were way too big and it was difficult to move around. Now we are switching up and moving them up in our loft and adding a seat and ottoman so it can be a cozy couch bed and moving the TV there are well. We have measured it out and I think it will be better. Plus getting new covers for everything so it matches and in velvet.

I noticed that people who like tight very formal OR people who are not sure about balance use symmetry in decorating, its safe, cant go wrong but then end up really wanting that relaxed classical interest that is tricky to achieve unless your trained. You should do a video on showing people how to create asymmetrical symmetry and different vignettes like the 3, 5 rule, using foundation items and how to build on them, how to make the eye move around the room and how to achieve asymmetrical interest. Many already know how to do this, but still so many dont. I think you could make a great video on that with all you know.
