It's hard to see photos when you put two or three together on the same slide. One photo per slide is much easier to see. Excellent tips! Thank you.

Ashley, these are all good reminders. My two favorites are to use big pieces of art instead of multiple smaller ones and to decorate my small central hallway more completely. I have a small chest of drawers I think I'm going to move there just under a wall niche that already showcases a beautiful painting I have. Thank you! Your videos are so informative. and useful.

Thank you! I love the sconce idea instead of floor lamps. I was soon to buy 2 accent chairs and 2 floor lamps and now I’m rethinking 🙂 Although, I’ll have to commit to where to place the sconces and the floor lamps may have made me feel more comfortable that I could move them around

Perfect timing! I just moved into a small townhouse only two weeks ago, and so far I’m on track. I just commissioned an artist to work on a large piece for my living room and one for my bedroom. I’m on the hunt for the perfect area rugs for both rooms as well, and decided to go large. I also love the idea of having dual purpose furniture. I’ll be looking for a steamer trunk that might serve as both a coffee table and storage space. Not to mention serve as an attractive conversation piece as well. Thank you for such a great video. ❤️

I tried the steamer trunk and didn't like it because it wasn't raised off the floor. You need space for your feet to slide under. Hitting that hard surface over and over is no fun.

Thank you Ashley! Create visual space. Bounce lights (mirrors, reflective finishes). Highlight vertical space (ceiling-reaching shelves, full-height artwork, vertical tiles). Create continuity (monotone colours, storage spaces/appliances behind walls, wall mounting for clearing the floor, space symmetry). Save space (cozy dining table, sliding doors).

Nn rugs under the bed. Only 4 pillows on bed. Lose the throws on the sofa, store them in a otterman. Curtains they have to go, use shades or wooden coverings. Let's start changing things...

Even worse when you have mobility issues and you have to scoot around these awful things. Sorry but bench seating also looks to me like a glorified picnic bench. Only do it if you NEVER intend to use it. Or it's just for the kids.
