Just found you in the last week and I’m delighted with your videos. They’re content rich with no babbling. Found the one on paint colors and finishes so informative! Great job.

Benjamin Moore has never ever failed me. I love your nail polish example. BM paints look as fresh in year 10 as day 1. Their colors are dynamic, changing with the light throughout the day. BM is worth the price. Applies clean, like butter. Have been majorly let down with Behr. SW is good for exterior. Luv you Julie 💕

So glad I ran across your channel! You are so different from other interior designers. Your knowledge and delivery is refreshing- I’m a fan!

Great video!! I'm no longer in love with my bedroom paint color. Why I ever chose bright yellow is a mystery to me. I chose the color from swatches without researching quality verses price or brand. So after watching this video, I feel much more confident in choosing the right color for our bedroom. Thank You Julie for explaining the differences in paint brands and the quality of the paint based on price.

I just bought a home and I can finally decorate it the way I want!your video was so informative and helpful, I can't tell you how much I appreciate it thank you! I hope my home will look as beautiful as some of the hotels you have designed 🌞

I’m late to the game with this video but WOW it’s extremely helpful. I appreciate how you categorize and organize your content. You also explain what certain “terms” mean which makes interior design less intimidating. You need your own show already! 👏💯

Thank you! This was super helpful! We are mixing ivory/off-white trim, cupboards, and doors (throughout our home) with a new bright white washer and dryer in our laundry room. Our pedestal sink and toilet in the same small room are bisque, and shelving with cupboards above the washer and dryer are ivory-ish. I was stuck with how to pull together the white and off/white with a neutral wall color. Thank you! Since we have both gray and beige in our tile floor, it looks like a light greige from Benjamin Moore will work. Grateful.

THANKS, Julie, your videos informative and not only me loves it. i started fixing my home according to your style and suggestions, my house is having a limited space but so many styles I can do to make it look rich and so elegant, pleasing to the eyes. my friend asked me how did I learn this interior decorating, all I can say is Julie Khuu takes the credit...

Have done my entire Interior of my 1 Bedroom Condo with Sherwin Williams Greys from JK's suggestions at 7:01. I'm always Complimented on the Wonderful look and how Everything Coordinates so Beautifully. I Love her Designs and Ideas !

That’s a great comparison. Cheap nail polish vs higher end polish 👌🏼

You were the first one to talk about the colors and define how they cross over. I’m not a designer but my eye is seems keen on this subject. I love hearing from someone who knows this stuff. Thanks 🙏

I like the comments on the paint sample and the paint came to life in the examples. Loved.

This video is everything ❤️! Especially for a very green inexperienced person trying to design a new space.

Grey is such a chameleon colour depending on lighting and the colour of your furniture/decor/accent wall. We have twilight grey by sherwin Williams in our living room and there’s about 4 different colours it changes to throughout the day.

Ok, I was chuckling. Cleaning walls seems to be a potential issue. That seems to be kids and pets issue only. Adults only don't generally do anything to their walls that would require they me wiped down. Yes, you have extremely organized and very useful videos. I like your matte or eggshell finish suggestion for large rooms.

You are a real pro. Forget KZfaq, you should be on network television.

Love the video and your taste is impeccable. Only suggestion is to keep the color swatches on screen longer just for screenshots! Thank you!

The Marquee line from Behr is excellent.

I, like many others that are now subscribed to your channel, have learned a tremendous amount of great knowledge courtesy of you. Thank you , thank you, thank you. I normally know what I want or looking to achieve in whichever room I am working on. At least I have found it to be the case with exception to my latest project. I have only had to repaint a wall color one time in the past where it didn't turn out to be what I was looking to achieve. My powder room is now my 2nd repaint. Not only have I had t repaint but 4x times now and still not happy. SO again thank you because I believe I found my answer from your great videos.

We painted livingroom kitchen hallway and bathroom. We bought Benjamin Moore paint and so glad we did. Had to only do the walls one . The paint covers so well it was beautiful except one small area in the kitchen. Had to go over this area twice because of high traffic place. I recommend this great paint to everyone. You said it was the most expensive but so worth it. My walls havent been painted in a long time. 14 years!! They look better than ever. Paint is so worth the money. Covered a multitude of sins. Use high grade paint if you want the best results.

Excellent video! I loved your presentation, description of the various paint manufacturers, sheen types and their uses. I downsized from a large house to a 2 bedroom condo that has floor to ceiling doors in each room leading to a balcony. I used budget friendly Behr's Studio Clay color, but in their highest end paint in eggshell. I used Benjamin Moore's Coventry Gray in my bedrooms...painting the trim the same color as the walls....I love the colors I selected and how they pare with my furnishings. Again, thank you for the video, I found it to be extremely helpful!

Is funny, I've used all the high end paints but always come back to Behr Marquee. I think they always look amazing. 👍👍

I like that you actually tell us what’s the best to use. Other designers don’t give helpful tips

We just purchased a home and this video help me decide which color in each room.Thank you!

Wow, soooo much valuable information!!!!! It's like taking a class but one I really want to take. Keep up the good work!!!!

Hi Julie, I just recently purchased my new 🏡. I have been watching your videos. They are great;educational and inspiring! I am so excited to use your tips and suggestions on how to decorate. Thank you so much.😘

Man am I glad I found your channel! I am preparing my home for sale and painting the entire interior except for the bathrooms which are a light gray. My realtor said to paint “griege”, and my painter uses Benjamin Moore. I have zero eye for color. Your brand specific tips are on point! Thank you so much!

AGAIN so great, Julie, thank you!! So helpful when it comes to what types of paint and color to go with in each room. Your videos are so educational for those of us who are not in the interior design career. Our walls are currently all white and have been since we bought the house, need a change and uplift. Grateful, thank you.

I just searched for interior design and came across your amazing videos! You are truly gifted! I am embarking on a home remodel and your videos are like a step by step tutorial for me :) Just amazing!

I love your videos. I wish you'd leave the color swatches on the screen longer, so I can read all the comments on them. Thanks for your consideration of doing this in future videos.

I used Benjamin Moore Gray owl in my master bedroom and bathrooms, absolutely love it! Thanks for the info

Just what I was looking for! Very valuable information on paint which is the most important decision you make!

Love your content! I’m going to be a new home owner and I feel so lost. Your videos have really helped point us in the right direction. I wish you had a grid per room of the recommended neutrals and finishes. Paint has been the most daunting for me and now I have to figure out the main furniture pieces based on your advice. I need a cozy greige color for my bedroom that goes well with CoreTec LVT flooring in Iona, I’ve changed my mind 3 times already.

Greige is exactly what I'm looking for!

I painted our entire interior in Crisp Khaki from Sherwin Williams Cashmere. Love the cashmere. Thick and covers in one coat! The color is a perfect backdrop for my AZ home. Warm and changes colors during different times of day! ❤️

I've discovered your Channel yesterday and I'm hooked. Your ideas are awesome! I'm one of these people who have no idea what goes with what so I'm loving your advice. Thank You!

Greige is my favorite color, I love it!! It’s versatile and elegant

Hi Julie! Just found your videos today and I can say I’m addiicted to it already. Very informative since we’re starting to built our own house soon. Thank you for all the tips that you’re giving.🙏

I love Benjamin Moore Aura. It’s a true one coat paint

As a pro painter I would had adjusted some of your advises on the sheens particularly, but still great overall knowledge and useful advises!!! Constantly using most of your sherwin williams picks and some of benjamin moore.

This was very helpful as an intro to understanding how to pick a neutral and seeing samples of what they are with different brands.

I really like your design style. I would love to see some of your inspiration boards! I live in Florida and would like to see how you would do coastal.

Just bought a house (first time homeowner 🙂) and getting started.. paint was first thing on my mind until I watched your video, great videos by the way 😍. Thank god I found you amongst thousands of videos on KZfaq! Wish you had a video for beginners with empty house, color pallets, sofa color, kitchen cabinet colors, etc.

I have used Behr paint for many, many years. The quality is excellent. So is Valspar from Lowe's. Don't buy into the idea that you need to buy paints that are twice as expensive but in no way twice as good. I know decorators in my area that are not pompous about these things and they love Behr and Valspar. it glides on the wall and looks fantastic. It is fairly priced and is easy to find. So go for it and save some money by using Behr (from Home Depot) or Valspar (from Lowe's). It will go on great and look great! I do also like Sherwin-Williams paint, but for the money and the great results I get, I most often go with the Behr or Valspar.

I love your videos☺️. These videos are great for learning, super informative especially for people like me who are hopeless with figuring out colors and decor. I honestly wish I could afford to have you do my place. Thank you!

Thank you for this super informative video! My husband and I just bought our first home and are in the middle of reno. We decided on Dunn Edwards for paint but wasn’t sure which grey would work! This has definitely narrowed my search! So happy I found your channel! I’m learning a lot! 🙌🏻❤️

The last thing to deside is the paint. The first to put on is the paint. Julie you make everything so easy to understand! Even I understand now I need A PLAN for the colourscheme. And since Im poor and lazy I always pick the very good paint often high priced so I only have to put two layers on ;)

That is so true that paint is last! LOLOL. My husband and I are going through this now. LOL!!! We tried to start with paint but we started doing other decorating and NOW we know what color walls we want!!!

Hi Julie! Thank you for your great videos. I'm really looking forward to your new topics. We are on new construction home building process and your videos gives me a lot of ideas. Now I'm confused about what color should I get for my flooring. Should I go on darker ones or lighter. Can you make a video about what is the best color of floors for any particular wall color or cabinet color and some furnitures. Thank you!

amazing information including the graphs

I loved this and thank you, Julie, for making such an informative and well presented video, highlighted with examples of your beautiful designs! I plan to watch more of them.

Thank you for supporting the lower cost paints! For those of us on a budget we cannot afford the Farrow and Ball or Maybe even the Benjamin Moore paints. I do use them for smaller rooms or projects because the quality is so good. I have been using the Behr for years now and I can say the quality has gotten much better. I usually use the mid to upper range ones like the Marquee. I get quite good one coat coverage with mid tone colors. And the flats I have used are quite nice. There is a color called Poppyseed Black that I love, and many others. Like the warm and relaxing Warm White Wool. So I have repainted most of my interior in Behr and it is holding up quite well and is very scrubbable. I am an artist so I tend to lean towards more vibrant and warm earthy colors unless it is my studio where I like white walls so the Southern light from my window does not bounce a color off the walls and change the light onto my canvases... I don't tend towards the dark blacks on a large scale as I don't like the cave look. I reserve that for a theater room. I am too much of a light lover. Great tips! Thanks!

Just a dude passing through, living in a house unchanged from the day it was bought. All one kinda gross yellow color, just now starting to get into this whole "interior design" world.. Come hell or high water I'm going to figure this crap out, even if it kills me haha

You are the GOAT! Thanks for breaking it down. Now I feel more confident about selecting paint colors.

Great advice. Lighting dictates color. Always. The reason you pick the color last is that there are 100's of 1000's of paint colors and if you picked your paint first you will have a hard time blending it and matching it with your rugs/upholstery. Also, if you pick bold colored upholstery that color will impact the color you chose for your walls. I once had a client pick very neutral agreeable Gray (SW) with new construction build and then buy a Red sectional. It instantly turned this wonderful wall color Pink toned. So, it is very important to pick out your furniture and rugs curtains then pick out your wall color. When picking finish of paint you have to consider the fact that anything other than flat cannot be then easily touched up.. you have to repaint the entire wall with eggshell/satin etc. I always recommend flat for walls. You can easily touch it up without having to repaint the entire wall. Flat paint also hides a multitude of sins. If the finish on your walls is not perfect, definitely use flat paint.

I wish I would have watched this video last year, I painted my entire home in Behr's aged beige last year, so I'll definitely be repainting some of those areas.

I like you Hair color, and that's not a compliment I give out often. Nice hair!

Excellent information. Please leave the swatch information a little longer. 😊

Yes Julie.. Whatever you say ..😍

Thank you for all the information! So helpful

All of your videos are amazing! Choosing Paint color is so hard because you don't know how it is going to turn out! Do you have recommendation for greenish-gray (Benjamin Carter gray looks nice , but still not sure) color that would work well for somewhat dark family den? It will have tan color leather mid century style sofa. I want the family room to have dark color painting or accent color wall with dark color. But I am afraid the room would be too dark. Any advice? TIA!!

This was very informative! Thank you! There was so much good information! I just recently painted a bedroom in gray owl and it’s beautiful. I like the satin finish !

I tested 3 bright whites - one each from Benj. Moore, Sherwin Williams, and Behr. I chose Behr's Ultra White -- It's so beautiful! The only problem is that it takes several coats to get a true saturation so that you don't "see through" it, as it were. But it's brighter than the other colors and is gorgeous no matter the time of day or night. I'm doing all of the public areas in it as well as 2 bedrooms and 2 baths. It's also the color for all of the woodwork, so there's continuity throughout the house. Ahhhh! There's nothing like a color you love to make 2020's sheltering in place a really welcoming refuge.

Thank you Julie for this great content. You lady have mad skills. I can't stop watching your videos. Instead of going into debt purchasing a new home. I have decided with your help to renovate the one I own. I never thought about the paint sheens I would have just bought flat paint. Also, I am thinking I can get the Benjamin Moore swatches and have Home Depot make samples with Behr paint. Love the Classic Grey, and Revere Pewter with Decorators White trim. Can't wait to try samples on the wall. Thanks again for sharing your knowledge.

Julie what I find troubling is figuring out how to design and paint my home because of vaulted ceilings. My ceilings range from 16 to 20 ft tall. Any advice? Maybe you can create an entire video. Thanks.

paint chips don’t mean diddly only painting the wall works gray owl is the best 👍

Loved this video. We are buying a new home and will probably be painting a couple of rooms prior to moving in, so I loved seeing your fav’s and the colors. Keep these video’s coming Juli!

Julie you are the best designer I really like the way you explain each and every detail thanks so much

Thank you, I just discovered your channel and love it! This information on paint is so helpful. I am a mosaic artist and we are renovating our small 700 sq.ft. home. Can you do a video on how to successfully use jewel tone colors on walls in small open spaces. Teal, rust, green? Or are these best for accent colors? I would like to showcase our artwork as well.

Loved this video, but you didn’t touch on the ceilings. We are moving into a home next month and my husband wants all the ceilings painted while there isnt any furniture. We lean more to the warmer tone furniture and flooring. Any suggestions would be helpful. Thank you

Best video on paints!!

Oh Dear Xcellent info When u Windup..its like.. Oh its over... Just adore u nd ur videos...😀😍😍😍💃👍👏👏👏

I generally like watching your videos and I gained some knowledge from this one as well. However, may I make one suggestion... The reason I watched your video is so that I could learn more about some of these paint colors. When you actually got to the paint colors you quickly brushed through them so that I had to go back several times and pause it so that I could study, review the different colors and everything you wrote on them. My suggestion would be to hold that frame a little longer when there are multiple things for your viewers to read. I recognize this is an older video and maybe you can’t do much with it at this point, but for future reference it would be helpful for you to pause on the colors and talk a little bit about each one that you introduce. Just a suggestion.

Would like to be able to look at it a little longer without just speeding through.

Nobody probably noticed but I love your make up here! ☺️💗💕💓💞

Thank you Ms. Khuu. Really good video! Good info and not a lot of unnecessary blather! Good info on paint brands, neutral color choices, and sheens. Very professional and good useful information.

Please do not talk about "Paint & Primer in one" that is something the Behr paint started and then the other marketing divisions of the other companies jumped on board. If you read the TDS sheets on such paints, they all say for best results use a primer or works over previously painted surfaces. From a chemist standpoint, it's either one or the other, a primer is not a finish coat and a coating designed to be a finish coat cannot be a primer. Do yourself a favor, always recommend a primer and topcoat, especially when in new construction.

Why spend the money on paint when we want to change it often.. I'm confused ! The simple way to change a room is paint Color, No paint quality

So educational! Again, premium content. Thank so you much! I love DIY channels but I love having your professional eye and experience that really makes a difference.

This is super helpful. I'm in the process of remodeling my master bath and kitchen and have been so overwhelmed with paint choices. Thank you 🙏

Maybe next time spend more time showing the colors instead of yourself talking.

I can enjoy neutrals, in other people’s homes. I couldn’t live with them though. I am more Laurence Llewelyn Bowen. 😊 I discovered your channel just yesterday and it is truly wonderfully informative. Can I say how I love your hair!

Great information. I took pictures with my phone of the colors I liked and the chart at the end. That was most helpful. Thank you.

I love your video! excellent charts that were so helpful!!!

The bulk of my interior is painted Tony Taupe (7038) from Sherwin Williams. I have a lot of natural light in the house and this color looks great. I've had it up for about 15 years and I still love it. It may look dark, but it's not too dark in my space.

So appreciate your helpful videos. In process of whole House Remodel - to a Old World Mediterranean Style with Earth Tones. (Yes I'm odd bird) Cabinets - Ginger with Coffee Highlight. French Oak Flooring in darker Coffee Tone that gives contrast to cabinets. Taj Mahal Quartzite used in countertops - also in Shower Surrounds etc. (Earth Tone with Travertine in Accent Tile) Oil Rubbed Bronze Faucets etc. Fireplace being remodeled to look more Old World with Rod Iron Screen - also picking up the Rod Iron in Ceiling Chandeliers. (Not heavy rod iron - just a light touch to get the Med. look) All materials have been picked out & I was getting close to choosing Wall/Trim Paint color. Watched this video plus your video on what Paint color vs Wood Color --- but I'm still a little confused. With Exception of bedrooms, my house is filled with a lot of light. South & East facing walls have floor to ceiling windows--- Large Skylights in Bathrooms. I have high vaulted ceilings. I love contrast. Wanting to keep my home feeling warm, comforting, serene & relaxing. I will be using Benjamin Moore paint. Do you have a recommendation for color choice?

Very informative. Have been binge watching your videos .

This video was great definitely helpful I’m definitely about to subscribe we’re just moving into our house and we need to paint everything got a lot of great ideas from you thank you

Great video! I appreciate the advice. I used Behr to paint at my old house. I like a lot of their shades. Thank you for sharing!

This is THE PERFECT video for a makeover! Hope u can continue with practical videos like this, maybe...''How to decide the layout of your space" cause i literally have no idea where to leave the couch hahahah.

Thank You. This was SO helpful!!

Thank you so much for this video. I am new to interior painting and this gives me a lot of insight.

Great video on choosing paints. I love your decorating. You are very talented. Thank you.

Wonderful information! I've always wondered what sheen should be used where. In the past I went with what was pleasing to my eye, yikes! I just learned a lot from this video. Thank you!

Thank you... very helpful in picking out a warm neutral. Love the Geige...

I have the most beautiful paint in my room. It is a Sherwin Williams Muted Violet with tons of white in the room. One wall is entirely white shutters. I wish it had a light in the ceiling so I could put a crystal chandelier in it.

I'm watching this in 2021, the first day of the New Year. So Happy New Year and hoping that you and the toddler are fairing well in the start of this new decade.

Love your videos! Great info!!

Wow! I have to write all these down ; I’m planning to paint my bathroom , kitchen, and family room while still in quarantine! Thank you for your expert advice! I was thinking to use Benjamin Moore paint for bathroom and kitchen . I painted my bathroom vanity with Benjamin Moore Chelsea ( gray) and I love it!

Thanks for the videos. They are so refreshing to listen to - interesting while condensed with concise but relevent content.
