I make my bed perfectly every morning too, because it makes people think I'm a serial killer, so no one ever asks me to baby-sit their kids.

Great video DD, I'm looking forward to your colour video! I'll need to do some thinking on layered lighting . . . my actual bedroom is in an attic space tucked under the slope of the roof, quite small and cosy and yes, I'm also one of those freaks who has to make his bed every morning, just something about getting into a nicely made bed at the end of a day feels so lux to me compared to crawling into a tangled pit of sheets and blankets . . .

@Coromi1 7 месяцев назад

A German test magazine reviewed mattrasses and favored a medium or rather low priced one. They also recommend a rigid slatted frame underneath - the cheap solution. I use that mattress, it is fine. Don't let ads and influencers scare you into believing that a bed must be expensive for healthy, comfy sleep.

@davidbarnes1113 8 месяцев назад

I have a jr one bedroom with a very small 12x12 room. I can only put the bed under the larger of my two windows. I didn’t want it directly under the window, but honestly it only works there. I just had to have drapery panels, but couldn’t raise them all the way to the ceiling because there’s a soffit above the window (hate it) . Yes, my room is as you say dark and moody. My dominate color is deep chocolate brown, but I contrast it with grays and white. I did make sure the headboard did not exceed the window sill.

@kitty_s23456 5 месяцев назад

Having a painting or open shelves above the bed is bad feng shui. Aside from the energy/ chi part, I'm paranoid that the painting or stuff on the shelves will fall on me if there's an earthquake. (I live in an earthquake prone area.)

Great video. Would love to know more about the 60-30-10. I am starting to redo my primary bedroom in our condo. I have had a darker colour for a long time but I am wanting to create a different look. Trim is decorators white and I am doing the walls in Coventry Grey (sorry I know it is grey). Fabric headboard panels in black. Black nightstands. No dresser as all clothes are going to be in the re done closets. An accent chair. White duvet. I am looking at wall scones and some other type of accent lighting. I have always wanted a bedroom in these tones which to me is relaxing and quiet.

@walterfoyt5985 8 месяцев назад

I’m also one of those weirdos that makes his bed everyday and am not a serial killer either. 🤣I loved your video but there are a few things I would add. With respect to art, it should be something that is very sensual and relaxing. Not something the disturbs your sleep. Also there are certain thing that don’t belong in a bedroom. The first one is a TV. I know a lot of people are going to disagree but a bedroom is for two purposes, one of the is sleeping and the other is not watching TV. I would also add workout equipment and a work area, they both can disrupt sleep. I live in a condo in the city on the 15th floor, which has great views but the windows don’t open so I like your idea of getting an air purifier. I just need to find one that is not overly bulky and distorted the aesthetics of the room

@mrphoenixgrey 8 месяцев назад

I couldn’t agree with you more! I am very much against the TV in the bedroom. It throws off the entire dynamic

@evianeyousef 8 месяцев назад

Hello, and thank you for today’s video, but explain for me why it is a divided question when it comes to having faux plants for some interior designers, while for me it’s fine having it if it looks well made and quite real, like orchids, I own 2 of them. And trust me they look more real than the real Stuff 😊

@syruscloud7277 8 месяцев назад

thats more of an authenticity thing.plants are living organisms and replacing them with plastic gives some people the ick. same goes for things like fake books on shelves or eating off of plastic plates. removing the very essence and purpose of something just for astethic can come across as shallow and tacky. of course you can do it for some nice pictures but designers will probably roll their eyes. having said that. i also cant always keep my plants alive and honestly don´t have the patience to look after them. a good alternative are dried flowers imo.

@kitty_s23456 5 месяцев назад

A designer who practices feng shui said that plants shouldn't be in the bedroom, because they have too much active energy (they're alive) and the bedroom should be restful. If you opt for fake plants or flowers, she recommended those made of silk.

What’s your take and advise on the bed placement headboard right in front of the windows I’m not sure I like this idea but I might not have a choice

@kitty_s23456 5 месяцев назад

Hi. If you believe or practice feng shui, having the head of the bed below a window is a no-no. However, if you don't have a choice, the solution is to have a solid headboard and to close the drapes or blinds.

Wheww -- who knew there was so much to think about with bedrooms. i might have missed it, but did you happen to say anything about the proper height of a nightstand? i'm pretty sure mine isn't quite right, but it is what it is. i'm also never quite sure about the proper height for the lamp, which is going to stay living on the nightstand. Great comprehensive info, as always, DD 🙂

@mrphoenixgrey 8 месяцев назад

Thank you for watching! The height of the nightstand is typically relative to the height of the bed/bedframe/mattress. I recommend having the nightstand at least the height of the top of the mattress :)

Ok, there is someone I suspect to be a serial killer and he does not make his bed nicely. It's actually done stupidly. He uses a gel mattress pad as the bottom sheet, and has only one misshapen pillow on a queen size bed. It's thrown on one side. The sheet isn't pulled up equally across the surface breadth of the bed. So you're off the hook.

Omg stop with the whole lie that you cannot use your overhead light in your bedroom or your living room. We do this all day long in a dining room. A kitchen a foyer. And let me tell you if I'm going to purchase a Sean Levin light fixture you can damn well make sure that I will be turning that light on for eternity so you can see my light fixture. So people yes use your overhead lighting. It gives you a greater circumference. If you're in the living room, use the overhead lighting if you're working on a project. If you're doing puzzles, the overhead lighting is there for a reason.
