I'm going to use all this tips on my animal crossing cabin

1. Pinterest Mood Boards 2. Curtains and Rugs (+ rule of thirds) 3. Paint and Wallpaper (accent walls + vibes) 4. Furniture (same tones for metals + woods) 5. Decorating! (Focusing on color palettes + natural tones) Don’t mind me I’m taking notes! Maybe this will be helpful for someone else as well! 😂

NETFLIX WHERE ARE YOU!! HE IS THE BEST!!

Yes. Correct. You’re an interior decorator. Interior designers do much more with building codes and architect too. There is a difference. Interior designers go through extensive schooling. People never understand the difference but there is one. I’m an interior designer. Graduated from school for it so I work with contractors and building codes etc. I do floor plans and layouts. And use tech applications like Autocad. That is not taking away of the immense talent you do have. And that’s why I watch you. Keep rocking!

Seriously, Drew. You say you are not an Interior Designer, but these were probably the most well presented, on point, clear suggestions/tips that I have ever heard from a DIYer EVER. You truly know your craft and are really, really good at teaching it. TY! 👏👏👏

Drew: Do you prefer Light, moody, cosy or modern vibes? Me: All of the above :)

My sims house is about to look so good 😂😂

Could you also do more specific videos like “How to decorate shelves” or more tips on the actual layout of furniture in a room? ☺️

“Honestly, I’m not an interior designer.” I almost laughed! Hunny. What do you call all this magic then?!!! ... This came in perfect timing! I’m about to change my bedroom and this info helped SO MUCH!!! Thank you! I love you! You’re my favorite interior designer 😂😘❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️✨✨✨✨✨✨

This is such a comprehensive decorating video. I am adding it to my "DIY" bookmarked files so I can refer back to it. When you are famous, I will be able to say "I knew him when......" I am currently still looking for a new couch, but I have decided that I really want to go to a store and sit on it and pick out the perfect fabric. I have recovered my current high end couch twice, and it lived through raising two boys!

I totally thought you were a professional designer! Of all the pros I watch on here, you’re easily the most informative, approachable, and understandable content creator. You bring insight to average people like me, instead of casually encouraging viewers to go out and purchase $4,000 lamps lol. I love this channel!

I would love to see a video about how to style a room using hand-me-downs and vintage/secondhand items. Most decor videos talk about what you need to go buy which is not only wasteful but also unrealistic for most people. It would be cool to see a list of items to look out for when shopping secondhand, things that are easily customizable to fit your aesthetic, and how to plan a room maybe based around a specific piece of furniture and building off of that vibe? idk maybe just me

Thanks, great information. I have learned before that if you're starting from scratch (e.g. moving into your first real home as a young adult after college or living with your folks) that it's a good idea, after doing the mood board and design inspiration research, to buy your anchor piece(s) for the room FIRST. In the living room, this would probably be the couch or a pair of recliners or two soft chairs w/ ottomans. In the bedroom this would be the bed & headboard. If you're not made out of money, these anchor pieces will probably be your biggest investment and you'll want maximum flexibility when selecting your most expensive item (i.e. not already be locked in to a certain shade of blue by accent walls/curtains/rugs). You may have your heart set on a specific style of chocolate suede couch and then, upon seeing those $5,000 price tags, decide that a sage green floor model with a tiny ding on a back leg on sale for $1,400 is the best choice for now. Once you have your anchor piece(s) then you can design the rest of the room around them: curtains, rugs, lamps, tchotchke, plants, etc. These smaller, less expensive items can be added over time, but the room will already be functional (you'll have someplace to sit and someplace to sleep). If you blow your budget early on, then you might not be able to afford a couch at all. Eeeek. Oh, and measure, measure, measure before you buy.

I personally like to create the space on SIMS! And then play around with different decorations and furniture. It's like a 3D interactive moodboard!

the best tip I've learned from your past videos is MATCHING METALS!! that can make any furniture goes together nicely!!! thank you

Hey Drew, the rule of thirds also applies to composition. For example, a proposed 'scene' can be divided into thirds/a grid and if the subject is aligned it will create balance and flow. Your content is always so well conceived, can't wait to see what you do with your new place :)

Great tips! What brand of peel and stock wallpaper do you recommend?

Drew you are the “best kind of interior designer” a “NATURAL” you have such a talent and ability it shows in everything you do!! xx

Why are we not at 1M subbies. His channel is amazing ❤️

I love that he's very hands-on, sharing and showing his own work/projects, and they look so nice. I feel lucky that I'm finally here after heaps of others sharing their "professional high-end" tips when they filmed themselves in front of a blank dull space.

“I am not an interior designer “ you literally need to put that on a merch shirt because it’s so NOT true that it’s funny ~ you are one of the most talented designers I watch ~ you’re designs always are Pinterest/magazine worthy ~ you either have an eye for design or you don’t ~ it can’t be learned ~ you can pick up hints and tips and tricks and put something gorgeous together, sure, most of us do that ~ but your designs scream confidence and are timeless yet on trend at the same time, always ~ anyways!!! I just had to comment cuz it made me chuckle when u said that ♥️

i’m here trying to design my minecraft house

After watching your Bretman video, I created a mood board for my new apartment and can I just say, YOU ARE A GOD'S SEND!!!!! It immediately showed the chemistry of all the pieces and art I had picked out, allowing me to see what pieces just did NOT work and what vibe each room would give me. I didn't realize how important it was. Thank you

Lone Fox turned up in my feed yesterday and now I can't stop watching these videos. Love the personality, the self-humor, the DIY energy, and of course, Drew's taste! I'm a different generation (don't ask), and I live on the East Coast, yet I'm learning so much! I particularly appreciated these helpful "how to" tips that gave me insight into the process and a method for taking my own design forward! TY, TY, TY, Drew!

I such at designing space. So I absolutely love the rule of thirds and the bedroom guide: Black metals, same color of wood and so on, easy to follow guide. I work best with clear rules and instructions that I can bend and break as I sew fit. Thank you for sharing g

I feel stressed, I want modern, cozy , light and moody all at the same time and I can’t /:

OMG 5 windows in one room would be my absolute dream...all that natural light to play with would mean absolute win for a dark & moody theme. Not to mention it being the bedroom too. Dark & Moody in a bedroom helps compliment the functionality of it being a room for sleeping, and promotes a healthy circadian rhythm. All you need is a couple soft 2800K bulbs in the ceiling and floor/table lamp in the darker corner of the room. You'll be winning. 💖

I love the idea of using the same metals, I love black metals. Also using all natural elements for decor such as woods, whoops, ceramics, Stone, etc. I’m a huge fan of using real plants but there are some beautiful plants that only survive outdoors so in that case I’d use a Faux plant. I think it just brings so much for life and warmth into your home and really gives it that homey feel❤️ I’m obsessed with your videos! Thank you Lone Fox🙌🏼 All the way from South Africa 🇿🇦

The most helpful tip I learned in architecture is to reference something. Ie if you have an angled wall you can choose an art piece or furniture piece to match or reference the wall. It creates a more cohesive approach to your design.

Yay! Need this video! I'm decorating my room and now I can make sure I'll have a good plan! Thanks so much Drew! Love you! ❤️❤️

Thanks for tips and ideas! My husband and I are getting our first apartment flat and will be doing lots of shopping for furniture soon. I'm in India so the common theme in most homes is very dark painted walls in every room. I prefer lighter shades of color since they make the space feel more open and bright but not too white and sterile. I've helped paint apartments with my dad and he taught me a lot about choosing the right color and always paint the ceiling white.

Please may we have English subtitles for the Deaf please 😊❤️

Ahh!! So glad you posted... this video couldn’t have come at a better time! During quarantine I decided to paint a accent wall in my room on the whim and now need help designing! Thank you for this!!💗

this was literally a lifesaver for me! i’ve been having such a hard time deciding on what my bedroom should look like with curtains and wood and now it’s all set!! :)

This came at perfect timing I have been designing my room for a while now (I’ve lived here for 2 years 🥴 ) but was so lost as first and now it’s finally coming together . Yet , I felt like I still wasn’t stuck on a cohesive design because as you mentioned , one issue I was having was just pinning a bunch of diff styles . I will now go back and refine . Love all your videos !

The timing of this video is PERFECT! I'm moving tomorrow and have been referencing all your videos for my new apartment! ❤ I've started making a mood board but it's been hard. And I SOO agree on curtains and rugs! It's so hard to choose!

The simplest yet cohesive tutorial I’ve watched so far! I hope I’ll have a space to call my own one day to decorate. Will definitely be taking tips from this. Thanks!

“to create that vibe you have to paint a wall” *cries in rented apartement*

I am so happy that you just moved to a new apartment because of all the amazing content that’ll come our way! you are such a huge inspiration!

As an Architect i dont agree with your design approach but as a human being i love your energy and you as a person . Your videos has have helped this 25yr old who just cried her eyes out cz of her parental issues . Thankyou .

i neeeeeded this! moving into a new place in july and i’m so indecisive because i wanna choose a style/pieces i won’t get tired of but it’s so hard to find things that i really fall in love with

This is the exact video I need you to make, I have PLANNED to re design my room over the summer, and I plan to use lots of you DIYs and crafts 😁😁😁😁

This is perfect. I'm moving in to our house in a few months, my mom is coming home from work abroad and I'm starting my job in our hometown in few months now. Our house was always empty since I started college, so it's a perfect timing your video came up, would really loved to do decorating at our house in the future. Thanks ❤❤❤

Love this!! I need this because I’m trying to re-vamp my space, I’m kinda hopeless when it comes to interior decor so your videos are coming in very handy

Love the positivity here....you are so amazing❣️❣️

This was so inspirational, I had to stop and go make a mood board then come back to the video. Thank you Drew ! We absolutely love you.

This is the best explaination of putting together a room i've ever experienced! The perfect balance of simplified + technical advice! Thank you so much for sharing your process and your spaces.

Any other interior designers here binge watching and pausing to go see if your camera from photography class in ID undergrad has video...no? just me.. lol seriously amazing how he has taken his passion and turned it into his job! Takes so much work, and he has done such a great job!! So inspirational!

I love watching these kinds of videos and especially from you! But I think what I gravitates me is the sweet person you seem to be. Just this beautiful vibe I get from you!

Can’t wait to use all these tips for my dorm room ✨ I think I will be going for a light, cottagecore vibe with some witchy accessories

I was born without a decor / designing gene 🧬😭😭😭😭 big thumbs up for this video.. learned a lot 🥺❤️

This was so helpful! Thank you for sharing! Before the stages that you described I like to start with how the room needs to function, what it is used for, where the walk ways need to be. From there I go to what kind of furniture I need (what kind of storage, table etc) and where it needs to be placed in order for the room to function. And then I go to the steps that you so described, that where so good!

Thank you for this video Drew! This was so helpful! I especially loved your tips on rugs and how to use the rule of thirds. I can't tell you how many hours I've spent debating rugs and still haven't bought one because I haven't been sure which way to go. I'm glad I can come back to this video and I can't wait to use the tips you've given in my spaces! :)

i would literally give you the keys of my house and let you do whatever you want with it

Yes! Much needed advice! Can’t wait to get the rest of my home styled!

I love the fact that you are so humble...you name Macenna as well as Alexandra Gater...I already follow them, but it's awesome that you always name people in the similar work. Kudos to your spirit dude. ❤️

***************Not at all trying to diminish Drew's talent***************** I love coming to your channel and seeing the really beautiful spaces you create and your thought processes. I'm a junior majoring in Interior Design and I wish people wouldn't use the term "design" when they're "decorating". Designing a space isn't just picking out furniture and paint, there is so much more knowledge and creative talent that goes into being a designer and all I ask is for ALL decorators to not diminish our years of education and (my future experience) in the field just by adding the word "design" to your "tips and tricks" videos and blog posts when you're doing a room makeover/ redecorating a space, not that redecorating is at all the issue but it isn't designing. There are so many different aspects to the Interior Design field that I haven't even explored for myself whether it's Restaurant, Hospitality, Healthcare, Commercial or Education design, and there are more than that besides Residential. Although I know residential is the most accessible to people and it pertains to them and everyday life, but my whole point is to hopefully educate **everyone and Drew** in the sense of not going in the same direction as every other decorator who has taken advantage and used the "design" name to get somewhere and not teach people the differences between them. I just hope when I get into the field I could be apart of those who want to make a change because it hurts when I see these "design tips on how to style your bed" **not that Drew has** Anyway, appreciate you Drew and I can't wait to see how far you go!

I noticed you still haven’t decided what to with the window behind you. Have you thought of shutters? I thought that would make a nice statement. The semi circle above can be left without covering and you won’t lose the impact of it. Just an idea. Can’t wait to see you decorate this new apartment. I love your style.

I’m looking to be a spacial / interior designer in the future and had a similar process in rearranging my room. I feel like your advice is spot on, especially for someone who says they’re not in the profession!

What's nice is that it's not only an informative video but fun also. Thank you Drew for this, love ya!

I love to see you really trying to teach as much of your knowlegde as possible to us 😍💪

Omg I’m moving soon and I get to design my own room including repainting and new carpets and I was struggling a little bit thank you drew 😁❤️

Also, how you teach or talk throughout the video is concise and very easy to digest. Thank you so much for creating this video!💕

I can't wait to watch you decorate this beautiful and amazing apartment!!

This video was fantastic. I felt like you gave enough detail of each tip to be useful, and included clear examples, without going into it so much as to be overwhelming. Another thing that really freed me up to acquire thrifty furniture is that fabric can be painted with chalk paint! So I only had to find things in good enough (or repairable with my limited skills) condition in a style I like, but the color doesn't matter so much. I've ended up with a bohemian living room, but if I decide to put in the effort I can switch up the style to more "moody" (what I like to call grounded :-) ) just by painting the rug and/or chairs.

For curtains, I think it depends on where you live. If people can see into your home, then you need blackout or curtain material that you can't see through. Love the 3 color suggestion though.

This is honestly so helpful and to the point. I have this giant room outside my bedroom that I've sort of turned into a lounge and relaxation area and for months I couldn't find a way to start decorating it. It's a plain white-walled black-tiled room and of late it just sort of stresses me out because I couldn't find a way to give it some identity and make it cozy. I haven't realised how important it is to co-ordinate tones because i've been mixing and matching with my furniture too much! definitely following your steps!! Please can you do a video on which walls to highlight and play down in different types of rooms, especially for rooms that are long and narrow, or small and camped for example :)

I needed this! Thank you Drew for being so transparent and helpful❤️🥺

I love how aesthetic everything is. Aesthetic outfit, aesthetic background, aesthetic thumbnail

*I absolutely love this!* You are 100% an interior designer! Always look forward to your amazing videos! You motivate me to keep going on here! Thanks again, love! 🥰

Great idea for a video Drew! You ARE an interior decorator and the suggestions are so helpful!!!Obviously you don’t have to label yourself anything you don’t want to, but not having a degree or getting paid to decorate other people’s spaces isn’t necessary to call yourself that! You have some SERIOUS skills!!! You do AMAZING work!!!

This came just in time! I might be getting my own apartment (moving my mom in so I can take care of her) and it’s such an awkward shape, I’m finding it hard to figure out a living, dining room and kitchen layout 😭 thankful for your videos!!!🧡🧡🧡💜💜💜

I'm with you honey for Pinterest. Love it.

Don’t forget to consider function. And don’t feel obligated to decorate as soon as you move in somewhere. Live in it, see what you love, what you hate, what works and what could be improved. It also gives you time to accumulate things with meaning and have a curated look instead of a department store copycat.

I’ve been binging all of your videos as I just graduated and am about to make a cross-country move!! This couldn’t have come at a better time tysm!!

You’re great, Drew! And so is Alexandra Gater! I follow both of you each time you post. Keep up the good work! I can’t wait to see what you and Marie do with that fantastic new apartment!

step 1: have money to do so I already failed at that one

I’m so ashamed. I’ve been watching Drew’s videos for nearly a year now and only realized I wasn’t subscribed 🙊🙀

YOU ARE MY NEW FAVORITE KZfaqR!!! Just came upon you videos a few days ago and I love everyhting, you are so real and honest about the videos you make. You've found your passion and you are working hard!! love it!!!

Me, who doesn't own a house: I'll definitely come back when i do tho 😔👍

Can you also walk us through, or let us watch your design process for the new house!?

I love the way he explains things, everything sounds very simple when he express it, that's talent talking

You have helped me so much. We are buying a house next year and I had no idea how I wanted my home to feel. Now I know....LIGHT AND AIRY. This video was soooo helpful.

Drew, thank you! Rule of 3 opened my eyes to see what is really "missing". It puts everything nicely together, I will try to apply this in my apartment.

I’ve never seen rule of thirds being applied this way but it’s very interesting!

Drew, you are so awesome. You inspire me to make my room look less ugly. I love watching your channel for your personality too! You’re a great youtuber!

This is a good intro into watching you decorate your and Maria ‘s new home . Have fun !

you need merch that just says "COHESIVE"

Thank you Drew. This was very informative and always a joy to have you post vids xx

This video is absolutely amazing ?? Like you covered all of the most important topics, explained them in a very concise and comprehensible way and everything looked so professional! I love it so much!!

can you make a video about designing walls? I'm always so overwhelmed by designing the walls in my room. I'm worried about making the walls too cluttered or if they look too bare. and also ideas of how to design walls above a bed. thanks!!

I'll add a tip from the interior design world: Don't do an accent wall just for the sake of bringing a color in or making a statement in and of itself. If you are doing an accent wall, you should be thinking "WHAT am I accenting?" You should be using the color to accent something beautiful on or by the wall. You might want to accent a beautiful piece of artwork, or a stunning mirror. Maybe you're putting a fabulous cabinet (with gorgeous table-top pieces and maybe a beautiful lamp) next to the wall. That's great, but please don't paint an accent wall and then just put up hooks where the kids hang their coats and backpacks, or a sad poster you bought at Walmart to fill up space. Think of an accent wall like a frame around something you love and then, by all means, accent away!

THANK YOU FOR THIS DREW! me and my family have recently moved houses and my mum has given me the decor job so this is going to be so useful! keep up the amazingggg job!

IM LITERALLY SCREAMING! I NEEDED THIS SOOO BADLY!

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!!!! This was wonderful and so helpful! You're awesome Drew! Can't wait to see how your new places looks once you get started with the decor!

This guy needs a show! I could watch him all day!

OMG I've been watching videos with this topic all day and wished you had made one! THANK YOU !!!

Yes! A Lone Fox video to brighten up our day 🎉

I was going through so much confusion about how should I startup my rooom decor....but literally when I tried Pinterest board tip ...it really lessened my whole burden and now I have started the plan and before that I have also subscribed your channel💫

no disrespect and you said it yourself, but he’s merely decorating NOT designing. Interior designers do soooo much more than just decorating. Please consider doing some research. Interior designers deal with structural, electrical, mechanical, work with contractors, produce construction drawings, abide by (and must know) building code and SO MUCH MORE. So while drew is hella talented and decorates beautifully, he’s not an interior designer!
