Love this Checklist! It’s an excellent reference. Thank you for posting!

When I changed my bathroom floor, I chose what I liked for the space. As it turned out, it was a different material than the other floors that were visible from the bathroom but it was the same colour. I was amazed how much more spacious that part of my home felt when doors were left open. It is now "on my radar" for when I am ready to change the kitchen floor.

Hotels… yes! I’ve used them for lighting inspiration especially. They always have the best sconces and soft lighting 🙂 I always tell people who are moving to stage their home like a hotel. Hotels understand how to make you feel comfortable yet also make it inviting for everyone.

👏🏻 love it Reynard! Can you do a video on 3d floorplan software we can use to create home designs?

@reynardlowell Ай бұрын

Interesting, looks like this is quite popular based on the likes. Don't think I'll make a software tutorial, but I'll look into a video on planning or laying out a space which includes some software recommendations? Btw SketchUp is probably what I'd recommend for people doing renovations.

I have a huge square window above my kitchen sink. Mini-blinds worked ok, but got dirty easy. Designers HATE café curtains today. I only needed privacy on the bottom 1/3 of the window, but liked nothing on the window. I used a thin cotton sheet to make a café curtain (just a white and blue 1/2" stripe), so closed it lets a lot of light in, but can't see through it. The 2" wall above the window is just really a ruffle type valance. I arched this "valance" so on the sides it is longer than the middle, this makes the window look longer than it is wide. This has a casual look, not modern. I can see the clouds and the neighbors can not see the junk in the sink. I kept the mini-blinds bottom slats closed, but this lets in so much more light even closed, and much easier to clean. Despite what they say, café curtains look fine in a kitchen or eating area, but never a living room. BTW, I took the doors off under the sink and put a curtain of that fabric there, so I have it floor to ceiling. This doesn't look country just casual/classic. Hope this helps somebody.

An addition to my home has a lower ceiling than in the original house. I was advised to paint the ceiling and walls the same colour. I painted the built in cabinetry the same colour, too. It has made a small and pokey space feel bigger. Fewer items on display helps, too!

@rockshot100 Ай бұрын

OK Reynard. I get that first point. In a small space, sticking to One color looks less cluttered because all the different elements don't compete with each other, the sameness looks less cluttered. Clutter is enclosing. This is like if I open food pantry and all the things in there are screaming for attention individually, it will look chaotic. If everything in there were all one color, it wouldn't look so junky, it would look like less stuff is in there. Got it, lesson learned. Instead of throwing out concepts or rules, you explain WHY and the rationale of the concept. Thanks again.

I like the tile idea - horizontal vs vertical. I never thought of that.

The depth of the cabinets and drawers is what we considered and lower the height. Shallow and shorter.

I’ll have to check out your video on furniture for small spaces but I’m pretty sure they are super expensive. The furniture piece itself but even more expensive if multifunctional.

Those rectangular, Japanese tiles are just ugly & make your place look cheap, no matter what. I haven't seen one attractive photo yet on pinterest that features them. They waste too much grout & are a pain in the ass to keep clean. Lighter colors are the way to go. Use offwhites to add a touch of color that works well with the direction your place faces. Dark colors look terrible because you have to deal with the glaring light coming in that's migraine-inducing when everything else is dark. (Darks work well in regions that don't get a lot of strong sunlight throughout the year.)
