@Grannynan 2 года назад

I am in my late 60s, and I grew up with the understanding that formal portraits were fine in public spaces, but that photos were better in private spaces. I think we have become more flexible, but I get where Lisa is coming from. Actually, when my parents passed away I discovered a treasure trove of black and white family pictures from the late 1800s and early 1900s. I framed them with black frames and white mats to make a gallery wall in my very modern dining room. People ALWAYS spend time looking at them because they are interesting. If you display pictures intentionally, following good design, it will work.

@LisaHoltDesign 2 года назад

Nancy, couldn't agree more! ESP when you have some vintage imagery of family, that's always an interesting thing to share!

@Kath-Erina 2 года назад

My friends parents have a huge gallery wall in their staircase leading from the main living area upstairs to the bedrooms. The gallery wall shows pictures of the whole family at different stages of their life and pictures from when the kids were baby's (now grwon up) to their first grandkids. And I always loved it as a guest. It's not so much in your face on the living room, but when you are close enough to the family that they would let you upstairs you would quickly pass all their pictures. I sometimes walked extra slow to see all of them. I think this is a great idea to handle it!

@Bellasand45 2 года назад

I like to have a few family photos in my living room and my bedroom. Those are precious memories.

@megalin5150 2 года назад

I can see where she's coming from with the photos. Having like a big main pic of your whole family or a couple of little ones throughout the room is fine, but I work as a nanny for a family that literally has photos of them on every square inch of every wall and it's incredibly overwhelming. I'm talking giant 50-photo collages on every hallway, pics by the kitchen sink, giant canvases, and even a pic in the bathroom. They stare at me while I'm on the toilet and it's super awkward. Keep that shit to a minimum

@diannt9583 2 года назад

Yes, that would be overwhelming. I have two small ones, something like 6 by 10, in the living room. They're not moving.

@Nihilistictendencies1 2 года назад

@lindaann5860 2 года назад

I laughed when I saw the family picture restriction recommendation. While attending an Open House realty tour, I recognized several people in a photo on a credenza. I thought oh that’s Dr. So and So…then I recognized a famous Director of many adventure films. A very interesting home tour. But like most, I agree with live with what you love comments. Mom, Dad and the gang and other loved faces! Love You Lisa!

@mariaboulukos2736 2 года назад

WHY though? Unless someone is selling their house, their choice.

@shayram89 Год назад

I agree! Photos in public spaces are odd. Keep you living room to a minimum with the family photos. This space should be an opportunity to create new memories, not sit and reflect on old ones. If guests are interested in viewing photos from your recent vacation, they will inquire and the moment is sweeter when you share those photos.

@zeljkadobras9885 2 года назад

@LisaHoltDesign 2 года назад

Željka!! When I say "public spaces," I'm talking about the rooms that the guests will be in your home the most!! 😁 You can totally decorate your room ANY way you want, this is just my thoughts on this topic!!!

@kathleen9812 2 года назад

I agree about the photos. Put them in a hallway and make a gallery wall. It makes more sense and looks great. My mom taught me this through her decorating and I've just always done it that way. It's pretty cool too because you can give your kids a history lesson about their ancestors too. 😉 Unless you're the queen of England, don't put a huge picture of yourself and your family above the fireplace. Its tacky and uninspired jmo.

@michellem3879 2 года назад

Am I the only one who doesn’t want family photos in my bedroom? I have some in other areas of my apartment (and they’re public), but my bedroom is a place to relax and at times, my family stresses me out more than anything else in my life. 🤔🤔

@andreakeding7188 2 года назад

I like my family photos in scrapbooks. I feel like all the pictures are watching me. My first house I bought had owl wallpaper. Solid owls, rust and brown foil. Good thing it was our third bathroom. Didn’t use it til the wallpaper was removed!

@hennahannnah 2 года назад

I prefer my family photos on my electronic devices rather than on display in my home. There was a fleeting moment when I wondered if the lack of photos appeared odd to visitors, but I decided I really don’t care what they think about that. My apartment is just under 1000 sq.ft. and I think family photos look cluttered in this space.

@77Tadams 2 года назад

I don't like staring at photos anywhere in my space. I leave the photos in albums and on my electronic devices to share with people if they are curious. I have the photos in my phone and it makes a great display.

@melissarichard8920 2 года назад

But think about your guests, do you want your family to stress them out too. I say burn it all and just copy a magazine photo so you don’t choose the wrong “personal” style. The best “personal” style is whatever decorators tell you to do. Never think for yourself.

@emwhit1330 2 года назад

I agree. I think personal photos shouldn’t be cluttered or everywhere but I like seeing people family pictures and they certainly have never made me feel uncomfortable. I think some people clutter a bunch of personal photos but if they aren’t cluttered then I think family photos makes a space more personal and makes it feel like a home not a hotel. And it’s not a “public space” a living room is still personal.

@lucybraun8969 2 года назад

I agree with Lisa on this one. My living room is more about displaying cool art. Family photos of people unknown to visitors don't make the room feel inviting to guests the way that art does that they can comment on. If you don't have guests over, family photos are okay, but I like my living room to be about entertaining, and I save family photos for my office space where a glance at a familiar face is more to my liking when I take a work break.

Lisa, I watch your channel religiously and love your advice. One of the things that stood out in this video was that most of the examples of “do this” rooms had furniture against the walls or windows and that seems contrary to your first “don’t” which was not to put furniture against the walls. What am I missing?

@tinawalker5335 2 года назад

@ChristopherJohnsonArtist 2 года назад

Hi Lisa, I admit that I felt a little left out in this video as the tips seemed to be for large homes. Such as don't put living room furniture against the walls. I'm sure if someone has a small living room at least one chair or sofa will end up against a wall. The no family photos only makes sense IF you have a separate family room aka the living room is really your parlor which isn't the case for many homes and even then it seems a little exaggerated. I doubt people would mind seeing a small photo or two say 4x5 or smaller in a frame along with other items like on a shelf or side table. I'd just try to avoid making the photos a focal point. As for the fireplace... well my house won't have one. My parents do and it is over their fireplace as there are shelves on both sides. They normally watch tv from the kitchen or dining table which is a little higher up. I am going to instead have counter height storage built into that wall to mirror the height of the kitchen peninsula opposite it so my TV will still be a little higher that sitting eye height. This is important for me since my house will be very small and I don't want to store everything in the kitchen cabinets!

“Stop putting your furniture against the wall” and them you show a photo (sectional) that’s all against the wall. Why? Because sometimes against the wall really works best for living.

@aprilf7606 2 года назад

I noticed this too. I have a long narrow living room with entrances on both ends, and if I put my furniture in the middle, it would completely block the natural traffic pattern. It seems like the "no furniture against the wall" rule would apply more to large rooms.

I’ve also found taking a video of a space and looking at it on screen can help identify any areas that could be better styled or designed. Thanks for all the tips, I managed to check all off the list as already something I already do, but it did help validate my design logic 😆 I can understand that some people will not appreciate the point about personal photos. I think that they could be displayed as works of art or in beautiful frames as a design statement, but too many in a prominent place might be a bit overwhelming. I personally have all mine in our hallway as a gallery wall and in bedrooms, but wouldn’t be at all offended to walk into a home with personal photos in a living space.

Great tips as always Lisa!!!!! I agree with family photos in more private spaces. I read this many years ago, considered the pros and cons and decided it was the way to go. We have black and white professional photos of our sons-I believe the style was called baby body parts, and they are in our bedroom hung in a gallery wall style. Absolutely love it and so timeless too. We have our extended family photos and our sons senior and personality graduation photos in black frames with white mat boards hung in the main hallway. The colorful photos are made cohesive by the unifying matboards and frames. I also have a few favorites pictures of our parents and grandparents wedding days framed in my home office. - This is a funny little thing I've noticed about having photos in the hallway...Many times someone has gone to use the guest bathroom in the hallway and emerged with a comment to the rest of the group about how great the photos are in the hall etc. Having the family photos to peruse in the hall is nice for people. So if they happened to go MIA in the bathroom for a bit, they were simply held up enjoying all the photos down the hall! Or just have some fantastical art !!! smiley face

I have a gallery wall of family photos going up my open staircase and into the upstairs hallway. I also have two living rooms on the 1st floor. The family room where we have the television has no family photos. However the sitting room has no TV......a piano instead. Above the piano is a gallery wall of more family photos. People rave about our family photos. Taken professionally in a less posey way... put in black and white.... framed with matting looks like art. I saved the wedding photos for our bedroom and instead opted to keep our wedding album in the sitting room in case folks ask about our wedding photos. I also keep a pretty box of family pictures from years ago for visiting family to delve into when we're chatting about the old days.

Why is that? You're in a HOME, not an office, store, hospital, or government center. Why would personal photos in someone's home "weird you out"?

@lucybraun8969 2 года назад

Me, too. Not in the space meant for entertaining. For me, if family photos are all a homeowner has to entertain guests, the guests won't be staying long! Display a cool art piece you found on some exotic adventure, and you've got me wanting to hear the tales of your adventures.

Our tv HAS to be above the fireplace. The room is small and weird. It only has 3 sides a fireplace wall, huge slider, open to kitchen and one usable wall. I can’t block the fireplace w a sofa. I’m happy with it up high. It is what it is. Who cares.

Our living space is open concept, it came with built-ins on both sides of the fireplace, so we had no choice but to put theTV right above it. We just had it installed as close to the mantle as possible, it is not too high, not too bad.

@erikabraga100 2 года назад

I completely get that, same as “never put your furniture against the wall”. Sometimes the space is so small that you literally can NOT do this as the walls are to close and if you try not to put against the wall you can only fit 2 chairs, but you have a family of 4 !?!?! So I say the tips are AMAZINNNNNNNNG AND GREAT but not doable for everyone

@cathylehman7538 2 года назад

Since my house is MCM, I have 9 windows and a marble mosaic fireplace. I mounted my big screen on a swivel mount in the corner between two windows diagonally. I created a space for it. Tv is rather tucked away until I want to use it.

@lucybraun8969 2 года назад

All by myself, I mounted my tv on a wall that is adjacent to the fireplace wall. What an undertaking! If you choose to wall mount a tv, I highly recommend enlisting help. Those brackets are heavy to hold while you drill.

@lucybraun8969 2 года назад

I absolutely disagree with you. You’re home is not a public space, it’s your sanctuary. You don’t have to please anyone but yourself. The people who come to your home are family and friends. If friends feel uncomfortable about your family photos, well that’s their issue; and maybe then they shouldn’t come over.

@kristinamarshall6386 2 года назад

Okay I too am struggling with a couple points from this video. I'm moving my family of six into a very small apartment for the next couple of years, so we will have to put our couch along the wall, and we won't have any spaces but two bedrooms for photos (granted I don't have tons because kids grow so fast I can't keep up!), But I do know what she means. I've been in homes where there appeared to be almost a shrine to each child, and or pet in the living room. It can feel awkward after a while. All of that being true, I have also been to homes, my husband's great grandmother's for example where I found every photo enchanting and captivating. They went back almost 100 years! This is Lisa's professional opinion, of course you can take it or leave it. I'm glad she shared it here!

Generally agree with you, Lisa, but I have to throw the flag on the personal photos in public spaces. They are often conversation starters.

I love your videos but I disagree with the TV being over the fireplace. It made all the difference in the world for our living room. And the hardware is adjustable so can move it out, left, right, down up and it is been a good move for us. I personally don’t like two focal spots. One the fireplace the other the TV with another piece of furniture since entertainment centers are out…

@be5952 2 года назад

It is tricky because many houses (even big ones) have no other practical place to _put_ a big TV. It also has to do with: 1) How high your fireplace mantel is, and 2) How far away from the TV you're sitting when you're watching (i.e. the further away you sit, the higher the TV can be without you getting neck strain).

@LMA-yt5zj 2 года назад

Thank you for the photo tip I wish more people would share this one. I've heard this tip from others actually and moved my gallery wall from the entry to my office. They also said to save the family galleries for cozy spaces but their reason was for privacy. In my case anyone who came to my front door knew exactly who and how many lived in my home. Now I have a mirror in the entry (duh 😂) while the family gallery is tucked safely out of view in a space meant only for true guest.

@loriwald9532 2 года назад
