Yes to rooms. You get more walls and more flexibility on hanging things with abandon, I feel. More builders should start planning nooks and crannies to add interest to the same old same old floorplans.

I wish I had more of this when I was younger/I binge on decorator/designer KZfaq! Yours is probably my favorite right now. Our style is so very similar. All of my houses have had their own charm. You don't have to be rich to decorate it. You got the gift Paige. You are so lucky to be able to work at what you are good at. I feel I missed the boat! I would like my own store some day. Vintage lamps and furniture. Maybe some consignment and some new things in it. Also offer decorating service. That was always my dream. 45 now. I guess I still have time. :) I definitely have more money now that I did crap that I really didn't enjoy for money....smh! I am obsessed with lamps and lighting fixtures. I always have been. I got some really good ones.

i agree that green is a neutral !!! there’s so many shades that can fit any space and i feel like it has this certain timelessness especially when you go with a hunter green or a forest green. it can work with a lot of styles

Found your channel last week and I’ve been bingeing ever since! My partner and I just bought our first house and it’s been beyond fun bringing design loves of mine to life in a space that finally feels evergreen. Ideas for content: 1. Going through pros and cons (in your opinion) of specific design styles. Better yet, you have to pretend to furnish a room with two random styles. 2. More takes on subscribers’ spaces! Want to submit mine to you later this year. 3. You pick from the 3: you show us 3 homes from across the US on Zillow in similar price range and size and say which you’d pick. Go through the inside photos together on camera!

I hear you on the separate rooms issue. I knocked down a few walls when I bought my place, grateful I didn't go completely open plan and have actually put one back up! Def more cosy x

Bonjour, when you talked about closed space like a TV room, i immediately thought about Will & Grace apartment. So my request is a video of your favorite Sitcom interiors. Love your work, bye

You are right on trend Paige. I just saw where all the major U.S. paint manufacturers like Behr, Benjamin Moore, etc have picked mossy green as paint color of the year. Also agree with you on the open spaces as opposed to more rooms. You want to have a quiet area to snuggle up and read or chill out where you can hide from the kids. Impossible to do where the only enclosed spaces are your bedroom and bath. They can always find you. Final note--a home without books is a home without soul.

I bought a 100 year old house in Wisconsin and all the rooms are separated... its wonderful. I like hiding out in a room till my kid finds me. Lol. Also you can do more as far design in my opinion. Our condo was open floor and furniture layouts and painting to design a cohesive space was not easy. IMO

Love hearing what you DO like! Vid requests: - Can you do more videos on prop styling, how you got into it, and take us along on more jobs if you can? - Also would love to see thrifting vlogs/tips and how to build a collection of unique pieces (on a budget). - I’m a big fan of your home tour reviews (specifically the ones you liked, i.e. Kirsten dunst and dakota johnson) - there are lots of home tours outside of the AD ones on KZfaq. Like Vogue Paris has some cool ones called “une fille un style” - How to build the perfect bedroom

I'd love to see specific room design ideas (the kitchen, living area etc.) where a subscriber submits a photo of a room they need help with :) they could outline the function/needs of the room as well.

Good shout on the open plan vs smaller rooms - I LOVE being able to shut the door! Especially so in period properties to keep that cosy, traditional feel (I’m in a Victorian terrace). FYI - there’s a home reno show called “Your Home Made Perfect” on Netflix UK right now which I think you’ll love. Two architects with different styles do over people’s houses in VR. You get to see a lot of modern, open plans vs more practical and traditional in the same space. So cool! I’ve binged it all over the last week lol.

A video on rugs, perhaps? What to consider when getting one, how to judge if it's the right size or workable enough to move from different apts or into a house? Since they tend to be an investment, it would be nice to have an interior designer's opinion on that styling and purchase.

i've been watching ariel for like 8 years and i'm currently obsessed w your vids so to see you mention her was like woah LOL. i know her from booktube so i was not expecting that! loves it

I love little rooms too! I think open concept is nice but I feel like having rooms to decorate individually and to explore is so much cooler than just one big room. Plus with rooms there is more privacy but you can still be with people when you want

She’s done it again, 10/10 with your taste! Recommending some reviews to House and Garden’s KZfaq tours again, there’s some really interesting ones by pattern makers and antiques that speak to incorporating vintage like you mentioned 🙌

I’m such a huge fan of your vibe and videos. You’re taste is exactly right. I was going to send you videos of my place but I’ve been really busy but hopefully I can send you some for the next video of subscribers homes.

Okay this makes me feel slightly better, we’re renovating a 1970s rental and have shifted some walls but aren’t able to go full open plan and I was livid initially. Now I find it cozy and a has a bit more interest than standard modern homes

This comment section feels so nice and cozy 🥰 i wish all you girlies best of luck in your interior design journey

Totally agree that green is a neutral! I’ve just painted our kitchen in Garden and living room in Invisible Green by Little Greene. I love it so much! 😍😍😍 I live in an Edwardian house in England and I love mixing traditional English style with pops of mid century. So a bit of the opposite 🤣. Love your channel, it’s so nice to watch someone that doesn’t cover everything in boucle! X

This has slowly become my favorite channel!!! I'm so excited to see Chicago centric content for once. I'd love any more Chicago related videos, Instagram seller recs, or trash talking other TV interior shows 😭 ❤️

As someone who grew up and lives in a house with an open floor plan, GIVE ME WALLS!! Especially with the pandemic and my whole family at home all the time, there’s very little privacy and my bedroom is the only place I have for down time. Open floor plans are great for entertaining, but honestly not worth it in the long run, I need my space haha

A video idea I’d like to see is college decor. Like how to make a cheap renters space cozy and relaxing on a budget… I’m from the twin cities so it is very refreshing watching a fellow Midwest girl. Keep doing what you’re doing

Request: Please do a video on Offices. Like for someone who wants a cool vibe, but let's be real...if you have a desktop computer and an office chair I feel like the room is already doomed. Beside thrifting an office desk do you have any tips on how to make your office not look so damn generic?? So many of us are not in a dorm anymore, not taking clients in some sort of seating area, I just want a computer room that feels like it's a person's HOME not their plasticky cord filled workplace.

Here for you & the goo!

I also really love green. In 2009, I painted my great room in a soft greyish warm green, and it still looks pretty current. It absolutely is a neutral backdrop, and I love to incorporate splashes of neon yellow and orange in my space, mainly in the form of glass, ceramic, and enameled metal objects. I also use black, white, and wood tones in my space, to keep it from looking too much like Veg-All.

Totally agree about rooms!!! You can do some fun things in each area instead of trying to keep the same vibe in the open concept.

Yes yes yes to rooms! I also do not like the fully open space, specially when it's a big house with those high ceilings, it does not feel cozy to me. I think open concept is great if you have a small apartment cause it will save more space and can be more practical but other than that, it seems pretty boring in most houses. Living in Europe, you find such beautiful houses with rooms full of character, charm and little details and I love that most european countries preserve and value that and won't change the structure to fit the modern trends.

Love the idea of pops of neon and traditional pieces to give more character and dimension to a space!

I love Paige so much that now I’m making Pinterest boards keeping in mind what she would like or approve of lmao

Would love to see videos on where you get your inspiration from, how you got into prop styling/interior styling, and a day in the life of a prop stylist! I’m trying to pivot my career to interior design from something completely unrelated and would love to see and hear more about your journey :)

I have literally been obsessed with your channel ever since I found it and I binged all your videos! I love love love your style and it has made me appreciate character, charm and imperfections in design so much more. My decor inspo Pinterest board has so clearly shifted styles almost overnight! I love when you make videos of designs/decor you like-I'd love to see where you get all the beautiful photos you put in. Maybe a Pinterest board for each video? Or more ways to incorporate designs/decor you like (kind of like a do this not that series?). I'm also really interested in seeing how you would decorate a place where the main build/architecture doesn't match? I keep thinking it would be difficult to decorate a super modern build apartment in a more eclectic/mid-century. I also love seeing your prop styling vlog style videos! Excited to see what you make in 2022 :))

paige I just discovered your channel and I just wanted to say that for the moment your videos are the most entertaining content that there is on KZfaq right now. I feel like with all the videos that I watched I've learned a lot of things about home decore and design. I just love it !!!

+1 to rooms - after living in a loft I realized how much I had underappreciated the coziness and design opportunities you get with having distinct spaces. plus rooms mean MORE CORNERS

I love a good vintage lamp. I have a really cool vintage vase-shaped woven basket lamp I found at a flea market that’s probably from the 70’s and I love it to death. The traditional shape combined with the texture of the basket weave just makes me happy. And it only set me back $20.

Kudos on living a truly livable style. Homes should be fun and comfortable, not stuffy and boring. You and your home (and the Goo) are not boring. I predict that by the end of the year, you will be one of the only interior decor channels adding, not losing viewership.

I love rooms. Obviously big rooms are great so you can have many vignettes of spaces, larger lighting fixtures, big pieces of art. But small little cozy rooms that have special, defined uses and the ability to try a ton of different colors and prints and feels, I love. That's my dream, whenever I buy a house that has more than like, five rooms and a single hallway lol

YES! More rooms are totally the thing. The kitchen-livingroom area should be open but not everything. I'm seeing 1 bedroom apartments bigger than my 3 bedroom place that is phenomenally well organized. I'll send you a video, even though everything is messy I'm sure youðll appreciate that I'm keeping a lot of original and not-so-original things that came with it.

We just painted our house exterior Garden Path and we love it. Our master bedroom is also painted BM Ming Jade- trim and all.

I'm into layering. Layering rugs, layering window treatments. Layering table cloths, towels in the bathroom. I hung a frame on the wall, just sort of to get it off the floor and then decided to put a hydrangea in the middle of it creating a three D picture. And yes, I like three D wall decor, also sconces. Uplighting, putting a little light on the floor to illuminate an area with a plant etc. Plants of course. ceilings that are not white. Yes, large art and books are great.

have you seen Ugliest House in America on hgtv? I would LOVE to see your reaction to the renovation they do in the last episode! 😅

OK OK wait I haven't even finished watching this video yet and this is the first one I've seen of yours but I can already tell I will love them all I just want to SCREAM because I've been wanting a channel like yours for a while, all interior design on KZfaq (and everywhere else really) is like either DIY or middle-aged women. no offence to any of them, but I am so happy to see someone my age talk about interior design (NOT architecture, everyone's usually into architecture!) with the same passion and in the same manner as some might talk about art or fashion. we need more young interior designers! aaaahh i love this so much thank youuu

Some mid-century homes, when done by the right architect, have interesting open floor plans with curves and twists and turns that don’t have the boring, wide-open shotgun affect that a lot of builders and contractors are incorporating today.

Would love to see your reaction to Vanessa Hudgens’ house tour on AD! It’s actually pretty cool and she has a lot of pieces with a story/history to them so it was interesting to watch

Request: please do a home review of a home from the KZfaq Channel called “House & Garden”. There’s some really unique homes I think you would elements from. Love your channel & your take on interior design. It’s a breath of fresh air. Far too many homes look to much alike.

i have been dying to see you do a ranking of interior design styles … especially including brutalism, kitsch, the godforsaken shabby chic, etc.. i think it would be such a fun video!!

Yes to rooms! Similarly, I love a nice hallway and entry space. That was one of the things I liked most about the place I landed in.

Could you please make a video where you just talk about couches/sofas and what to buy, how to look at the color, material, width length, how to put them in your house, how to style it etc. And then you can do this with beds, closets, lamps etc!!!! thank you :)

Your timing of videos is always perfect. Always mixing it up with reviews, stuff you hate, stuff you like, tours etc. Love it! Thank you Paige!! Your chanel is just going to keep growing

I very much enjoy your takes on design- both the good and bad. I have been really interested in mixing design styles and trying to figure out how to do that in our new home so that it has a personal and eclectic vibe, but still cohesive. I can't be the only one and would love an advice video! I also love the room reviews so please keep them coming.

Absolutely love your taste and opinions! Always so spot on

Hey Paige, I love watching your videos, you have inspired me so much… I also really enjoyed your style video and since I always notice your jewelry in videos I‘d love to hear more about it!

Dear Paige ! Your channel is such a relief 🎉 I would love to hear more videos about your whole process when interior space designing, how do you think of a space, what do you do first, how do you trust yourself with the first draft etc... I liked a lot to see the entire Sofa process, and also the rug process, and I guess you cannot escape the stress of making mistakes. 😂 I definitely feel the same 'high' when it comes to furnish or have decoration flashes for a space. Also do you visit a lot of museum/artist's houses etc ? Could you talk about architecture designers you do like ? I would also very much like to have your opinion on my appartment, but I shy off to send you a video as ALL and EVERY subscibers appartment you are reviewing are already pretty neat. I live in my grandmother appartment and it's completely outdated, but still have a nice potential. Let me know if you would like to have a look of the most outdated flat you've ever seen. ;)

So excited for another vid! A question i would love to know is how you are environmentally friendly with home decor? You’ve mentioned quite a lot how you thrift to be less wasteful ect which is really cool and just wanted to know if there are specific materials you avoid or any other tips you have!! Thank you so much for the entertaining vids!!!

i also love separate rooms ! maybe it’s the panini making us not want others in our sight lines all the time. and despite living at home in a a 1 br loft that doesn’t have full walls, a friend built me a custom rolling bed frame that makes my bed look like a built in nook that was always meant to be there

Your perspective and insights in interior design has opened up new ideas for me. I’ve started drifting away from what’s “trendy” and now want to decorate my current apartment and future home to something more long lasting with TASTE. Love watching these videos cause it helps draw even more inspiration for what I want in the future !!

I've really enjoyed seeing English charm as well, probably from watching a ton of House & Garden videos. And my parents' house is over 130 years old, so it's got hella rooms and is very cozy. Can't ever have secrets in open concept homes 😆

I discovered your channel recently and was immediately smitten and so so entertained. The info you share is super helpful. I now love Wednesdays and Sundays. Thank you Paige!

Your style is absolutely amazing. As a teen who will soon be going off to college, it is nice to know a lot of this stuff before I get a place of my own. I've watched every single one of your videos and have found your content so refreshing. Favorite channel right now by far!

Love your style. Pet peeve is covering books with white or neutral paper to 'make them blend' , or turning them backwards . makes me scream everytime. So thank you for actually liking books.❤️❤️

I've been really gravitating towards the English traditional style too. I just bought a cozy little home and my mind keeps going there for inspo. But I love that your decor tastes are such an eclectic collection of styles and not just one or two seemingly compatible styles. I often don't know what to do with a space because multiple styles appeal to me but you make it seem possible to blend all of these inspirations.

Genuinely love this list! Some things like the second hand lamps are definitely good tips that fit in seemlessly with what I like in home decor. Also 100% agree with you on the room thing. Open plan is fun for entertaining but I'd llike to be able to hide my dishes and have some privacy.

Loves the video and totally agree that books are awesome as decor ✨ also would love to see a video about lighting 💖

I would greatly appreciate a video on how to incorporate family picture or pictures of friends into decor without it looking out of place? I’ve struggled with this for years!

I'd love to hear your thoughts on the whole maximalism grandmillennia style. I've always had this mix of modern and vintage/antique style and I'm completely intrigued by this "new" style.

I agree about the floor plan!! I would love for you to share how to display collections in different ways… for example I collect copper and milk glass.

I just love your channel! I loved seeing everything you love!

I love that I've been following your channel for a year now. I love your "hate it videos" as well as the "do this not that" stuff. Oh heck, I like your channel overall. I would love you take on mixing styles. I'm very much am Industrial person, with a serious appreciation for old English. I have a crazy love of kitschy styles like Baroque as well. We're looking at buying a place this year & I'd love your take on how to meld opposing styles, if it can be done. Thanks Paige.

I LOVE your style! I love this video, I learn so much from you, thankful for you sharing!

I had exactly the same thought about books this morning, so obviously, you're right about it.

you and ariel being friends blows my mind... i adore you both!

Dead on as usual. All classics! I’m about to make a giant piece of art (biggest canvas they sell!) for above my fireplace. I love it when I’m on trend because it’s what I love already!

Ah, the mere mention of vintage lamps takes me back to that classic Ikea ad from 20 years ago where a woman puts her old Ikea lamp out on the curb next to the trash, and it sits there alone and forlorn, in the dark pouring rain, while we see her sitting in her apartment enjoying the light from her new lamp. Then a Swedish guy comes along, stares at the camera, and says, "Many of you feel bad for this lamp. That is because you crazy. It has no feelings, and the new one is much better."

I love that Garden Path Green, thanks for sharing.

My favorite color is green also and I am constantly drawn to it shopping thrifting or estate sailing.

You really do have the coolest lamps. I’ve not had great luck with that but then again haven’t been as intentional about thrifting lamps. Will have to add that to my list.🙌🏽

I'm so happy I found your channel! I've been learning SO much😍😍

even though i live with my parents in an old room/house filled with toys + figures and hand me down ikea stuff, i’ve been binging these videos lately lmao. it’s fun to imagine what i could to with my own bigger space, these videos are a great way to do that! my parents like a coastal, blue + white style, but i’m totally gonna deck out my future place in green and brown ;-) i am considering getting a vintage shade or something for my ceiling light though, the current fabric shade gets dust quick and isn’t flattering for my ceiling rose ^_^’ it’s just weird trying to find one that’s old enough so it doesn’t look too out of place. the book decor idea is really great! i might suggest it to my mum :-)c

Trust your style and the others will jump in and rent your place, just because is different and out of the ordinary. You are amazing and you'll be surprised how many people will want to enjoy your style and enjoy your place.

a vid for how to mix styles! i love both the mid century/english styles and i feel at odds with how to satisfy both in one space (but LOVE that bedroom with the chartreuse throw from this vid)

Love love love this style!

I feel like I only ever comment about The Goo. I do love your content. I agreed with everything you said this week. But, what I really wanted to say is that every time The Goo pops up, it brings me joy. When The Goo was wearing the little green coat, I actually squealed. I am WAY too old to squeal about anything, but I couldn’t help it.

I had to learn to love green. Being an obstreperous child, and green being my stepmother’s favorite color (with orange), I hated and avoided it for years. I don’t recall when that began to change, but by my 30s I had a fantasy of creating a cocoon of a dark green room, full of great old stuff, a big wing chair, and books. I finally created that in my late 40s (Thanks, Glidden “Grape Leaves”) and it’s my favorite room in the house... a house full of rooms... small rooms.. large(ish) rooms... full of books and vintage lamps and large art. Still hate orange.

Please make a video on lighting/what lighting fixtures you like!! Lamps, floor lamps, ceiling light, etc.

LOVED this!!!

Love the channel binged all your videos in a like 2 days while working. Keep up the great work! I dont know if you've ever heard of Glassette but all of their stuff is amazing and very much your style I think.

Can you do a favorite Chicago spots video? I just moved here and would love some tips for where to pick up fun, meaningful Knick knacks. Or just spaces/interiors you go to to get inspiration here!

LOVE your channel. I’d love to see you do like an apartment basics for people who have never lived on their own. I know everyone’s budgets will be vastly different. But I’d love to know your thoughts on like how you would generally put together a studio/one bedroom apartment

Congrats on the wayfair sponser thats kinda fun!

I have that exact alabaster lamp. I also have two smaller vanity lamps. They were my mom’s from the late fifties early sixties.

Paige, your hilarious but yes I want to hear what ya love and makes you happy! 👍🏻❤️ thank you for making this vid

Throws are another good way to add color. I just can’t afford the ones I love. But they are a good solution to bringing color into the home. I enjoy your critiques.

I’m obsessed with your videos I’ve been binge watching 😂 also, I love your style and your bracelets. Could you tell us where you get your jewelry from?

watching a new paige wassel video on my laptop and scrolling through pinterest on my phone, my favorite pastime

Recently came across your channel & I bloody love it! Thanks for your fab videos. Can you do a video on ideas for renters to spruce up their homes?

Building my dream home rn after years and years of obsessing of home decor. My husband is always asking me what i DO like. And it’s so hard to verbalize. So from now on, i’ll just send him this video for reference.

Don’t mess with the Goo!😀loved this vid! Keep cranking it out, I’m here for it!❤️

Paige, you should check out Parisians vibe “At home in Paris with art Gallery owner Fanny Saulay” I’d love to know what you think about that interior! Also, please make your videos longer or post more, I’d be happy with either or. You’re very entertaining and my favorite youtuber at the moment!

My fav color is green every green dark or light or bright …..it’s always been my favorite it’s the color of plants trees 🌳 and earth ….I love GREEN and i too add it all over and can’t help it. This year I am into the darker Kaki dark green. Anyway love all ur ideas and as always keep it going girl u rock!

The kitchen at 9:27 is so so good. I absolutely agree that vintage lamps are the way to go. I do not own any that aren't vintage. I might have a lamp buying problem too. Lighting is key to a good room.

Paige, thank you for doing “what I like” video. Helps me decorate my 1950 new house. Green is my favorite color too. Btw, where did you get those gorgeous twisted gold hoops, please?
