I’m a lighting and automation designer in Australia. So many interior designers and architects forget about the importance of lighting and how it can change your whole home. This was a great video and thanks for highlighting what I think is one of the most important parts of what makes a house a home xx
Thank you for watching and providing your insight Megan! 🙏🏻☺️
Megan that's so true..
I'm remodeling my home and this was so important .
@megan873 im torn between warm lighting n cool white for my closet n kitchen led lighting. What do you think
Have you Facebook channel or CZcams?
Hello, I can provide a lighting scheme
I found your channel today, its the highlight of the day
Thank you so much 😊
😂😂 high “light” 💡 of the day

Que.chica hermosa 💖 😘 😍 💕 ♥ ❤ 💖
What I love about you is your encouragement to not necessarily spend tons on money on brand name decor, but to incorporate things we love, we are passionate about, and are sentimental about or that tell our story. You are so empowering! I feel like if I follow those thoughts I can't go wrong! (unless I hang my curtains/drapery panels too low or match my headboard, nightstands, dresser, & armoir.) :) :) :)
Yes! Right on! I can’t afford to fully furnish my own home with everything high end, but that doesn’t mean the design has to suffer. Design with heart and wake up feeling inspired every day Katie 💗
Wow that’s so kind of you to offer thank you JULIE
Moving home in the next few weeks and your channel came up as a suggestion. I have binged watched not just for your knowledge and experience, but I love your energy. Such a beautiful soul. Much love to you and your lovely new family x
Thank you so much for watching and your kind support Ms Angel! 🙏🏻💗
Ms Angel well said!
This is one of the most helpful videos I’ve ever found on CZcams. I just keep coming back to it! Thanks!
Ooh then you must be at the fun lighting stage of your design Autumn! Hope my tips have helped you 🙏🏻☺️✨
I like how you explain the concept then give ideas and tips, and finally share where your favorite places to shop for these items. My problem is not knowing where and how to shop as interior designers do. Thank you very much!
A lot of designers shop trade only vendors (as I do a majority of the time)... but I wanted to create a channel where I shared my tips for the average homeowner who needs to shop retail and online. There’s so many amazing options on the market now!
j
Love your videos Julie - they are organized, specific and detailed. We're in the process of building a house and amongs other things, I'm in the process of choosing all the lights & ceiling fans (we'll be in the south) so you're my go to for help! Thank you again!
Thank you for watching Laura! Definitely check out the follow up lighting video where I link over 100 fixtures all under $500! 👍🏻
I recently came across your videos, and I absolutely love how you explain and show pictures of everything. You’re awesome!!
Thank you for watching Lupe 🙏🏻☺️
Just got home from a lighting shop. Now I know what I want base from the guide you discussed. Learned a lot, Thnak you Julie 💖💖💖
Awesome Christine! Hope it helps your decision 🙌🏻
This video was super helpful; I'm glad I found it!!!!
Really accurate tying specific type of lighting based on your style. I guess I'm traditional because I do like lights with lampshades and crystal. You are an excellent communicator. Thanks.
Thank you for watching Claudia! I love a traditional/ modern mix myself so I feel you on the shades 👍🏻☺️
@@JulieKhuu , learning a lot from you. Thanks!
Amazing video Julie. I learn so much from you.
Thank you for watching Peachy 🙏🏻☺️
Perfect just what I needed, those proportions details is what I was looking for, very informative, no bs, thank you!
Thank you for watching! 👍☺️
Hi Julie, I absolutely love your channel. It helps me to create that wow factor and falling in love with my home. I live all the way in Jamaica and we Caribbean folks love color but I am more a neutral clean and sophisticated style. Your channel helps me to find all the perfect pieces to complement each other. You are amazing I am hooked. All my friends now watch your channel. Nuff love from Jamaica 🤗😊
Thank you so much for watching and your support Cyron! I live for color, but finding myself toning it down nowadays too 💆🏼♀️☺️
Your videos are so informative and interesting. Thank you so much.
Thank you for watching Kathy 🙏🏻☺️
Thanks again Julie. I watched this video for the 2nd time. Now I’m sourcing light fixtures for the whole house and really need to refresh my memory of all these information.
That’s awesome Chloe! Hope you find some great pieces- check out part 2 where I link over 100 of my favorite fixtures 👍🏻☺️
Hello, I can provide a lighting scheme
Omg! Lighting is so important to every room. It makes look there best or worst. I love the Philips hue light bulbs. Working with people who don't want to install dimmers, I always suggest the Philips hue lights. They have amazing features so you don't walk into a dark home because they turn on when you approach your door or before sometimes. Perfect for movie watching, you can have them on a motion sensor so they are low and brighten when you enter a room. great for older people who need a little light. This video has me thinking about all the ways light affects you.
Yes! I love Philips hue bulbs for parties 🎉
A bounty of fabulous ideas... and the resources noted are invaluable!
Thank you for watching! 🙏🏻☺️
Your video really helped me gain lots of great ideas to light up my living room! I'm also inspired... I'll be installing a chandelier in my master bedroom! Thanks for sharing all your helpful tips!
Chandeliers in the bedroom are pure luxury! The last thing you see before you close your eyes will be something fabulous! 🤩
@@JulieKhuu Love that! 😍👍
We just bought a 1940's bungalow that is a total fixer upper. I am SO glad that I found your channel! You have a ton of great information and you deliver it clearly and concisely. I just wish that you lived in Pennsylvania so I could hire you! Thank you for all of your advice!
Thank you Diane! 🙏🏻💗
I don't know how I missed this video, but so grateful I found it!
Thank you for watching Kimberly! There’s a follow up video to this lighting one where I link over 100 of my favorite fixtures under $500 👍🏻
Couldn't get to the end because of that bloody bell, what i did manage to watch was very interesting and informative, it's good that she took the time out to educate us all, let's hope that she can edit this video to get rid of that bloody bell, anyway love and peace to you all in 2024
Yes yes yes this is SO helpful! Thank you!!
Thank you for watching 🙏🏻☺️
hi Julie. I really like your channel! I wanted to know if you can help me. is it possible to mix light fixtures?
A flushed chandelier and in the living room and a small pendant chandelier in the bedroom.
Then in the entry hall light cluster modern pendant light light and in the second hall a semi flush that is similar all in brass fixtures .
The chandeliers are nostalgic reminding me of my childhood home, but if it doesn't match, then I wouldn't want to put it
Love Julie ❤Hairstyle and designing 👌 100%..
Thank you for watching Elizbeth 🙏🏻💕
These tips have helped me so much!! Thank you!!
Thank you for watching Sonya 🙏🏻☺️
An avid fan of ur channel, from ur concept, i learned more about lightings... We constructed a new house in the Phils... luckily my design of lightings is the same as what u have feature. Continue being our inspiration...
Awesome! So glad I can help Uzziel 👍🏻
Thank you! You are amazing.
Thank you for watching Claudine 🙏☺️
I like your ideas tx so much
This video is very timely for me😃 Am currently in the middle of getting (the right) light fixtures for the different rooms in my new home❤
Awesome, hope my tips can help you down the road! 👍🏻
@@JulieKhuu 110%😀 Thanks again🙏🏻
Very informative. Any suggestion for small open concept space..living/dining. Thanks.
That’s coming up next week KK! Stay tuned 🙏🏻☺️
Absolutely love your videos
Thank you for watching and your support Cristina! 🙏🏻☺️
I am new to your channel & loving it! Please take this as constructively as possible - the loud ding that happens throughout this video is extremely annoying & makes it hard to focus on your great content. I’m really impressed by your ability to explain things in simple enough terms for non designers to understand but still with great specificity. I hope your baby is well! 🌞
Thank you Cam! This was one of my earlier videos and it used to not bother me, now I hate that bell lol 😂 We’ve removed it from all subsequent videos, hope you’ll tune in for more design tips! 🙏🏻
Julie Khuu 😁 I was already loving & binge watching your vids & then I saw the one with each of your sweet fur babies memorialized & now I love your sentimentality & personality even more! ❣️
my god, Julie!!! how come you always know what I am looking for??? you are like facebook, always reading my mind. haha. just now I was thinking about floor lamps (to use 2 same or 2 different) in my living room and your video popped up in search results. i am so happy that my favourite designer has got all the solutions to my design dilemmas. thank you so much.
Awesome! 🙌🏻☺️
I've been watching your videos. So informative. From Quezon City, Philippines.
Thank you for watching Verge 🙏🏻☺️
Really great tips! I'm binge watching all of your videos 😆 can you please advise what type of flush mount lighting is good for coastal style?
Thank you for watching ☺️ Coastal goes great with either a matte black finish or nickel depending on your vibe
New subscriber from Kenya... Loving your Chanel. Looking forward to learning a lot from you. Much love
Thank you for your support Georgina! 🙏🏻
Hey Georgina, tuko pamoja... Love her channel. She is amazing..
Junglalow! That’s the name of the stay I like. Thanks Julie!
Yes! I love Justina Blakeney 😍🌿
Great video!!! 👏🏽👏🏽 thanks
Thank you for watching 🙏🏻☺️
Hi Julie, I follow you religiously, since I am moving to a new space and have learned a lot from your videos! Thank you! P.S that color is fabulous on you!
You’re awesome Aimee! Thank you so much for watching 🙏🏻☺️
Hi Julie! Just found your channel and I love your videos ! Your videos are so well organized and full of great takeaways.
I am looking for a couple of flush mount lighting for the bedroom floor hallway. I really like the two on this video at 2:08 (2 hallway globes) and was wondering where it’s from and what size it is.
Thank you so much for watching Donald! They should be linked in the description box ☺️
Awesome channel. Love the videos and all the information. I’m trying to figure out a new ceiling light for my office/library in my new home. The room is 10x11 feet, and the ceilings are about 10 feet. One wall is going to be floor-to-ceiling book shelves (deciding on a two tone warm and dark wood finish with library ladder). I love that brass/copper color finish for fixtures. Wasn’t sure if I could/should hang the lighting a bit or if it should be a flush so as not to block the book shelves at the top? Any suggestions or recommendations would be much appreciated.
Flush or semi-flush. Your ceilings are taller than average, but you don’t want to visually block the smaller sized space.
Lots of great information! I love that you explained about scaling to the room. I am looking for lighting in my Kitchen (pendant), dining room, and living room which are all in one open space. Should I go with one finish for all of them? Should curtain rods match the finish of the lighting fixtures? Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us!
No, mix and match them Laccie! Check out my video on mixing metals for more tips!
I love this video! It’s so informative. 😍
Thank you for watching Vickie ☺️🙏🏻
Lots of great information
Thank you for watching Sabrina 🙏🏻☺️
Informative video. Would love to see tips on selecting light fixtures in open concept space.
Lots of requests for open concept designs, I’ll add this to my list Debbie! Thank you for the feedback 👍🏻
New subscriber here... I was browsing around for tip of lighting and I came across your chanel.. I actually been watching your chanel a week now and I love all the videos so I finally subscribe just now.
Thank you so much Ellen! Please let me know if there’s any other design vids you’d like to see
Hi Julie thanks for getting back with me. I’m a glam girl and my man is not he is more in dark furnishings or furniture how can I combine that with my style?Thank you.
The shadow is the greatest teacher for how to come to the light!
Follow the light! In design and photography 💡
Thanks Julie!
Thank you for watching Kim! 🙏🏻☺️
Thank you for all your advice in this video. Really helpful! We have a 2 story ceiling living room (17'×15'×20' ft). Should we go for 69" L × 49" W or 56" diam × 35" H? Do you think which one will fill the room better?
It really does depend on what’s going on underneath the chandelier, but if it’s an entire seating group, I would say the larger the better. Hope that helps Danap!
Great advice.
Thank you for watching Tasha 🙏🏻☺️
Love these tips! New subscriber!
Thanks for the support love! Pls let me know what other types of design vids you'd like to see on the channel Mikayla! xx
Hi Julie! Great video with great tips! I have an 18 ft ceiling family room. What kind of lighting should I get for this room? My style is modern/traditional.
Something HUGE! I custom made a 6ft orb chandelier with crystal inside (seen in this video for 17ft ceiling) You need at least 52” D to really make an impact
Hello Juie,
Please tell me if an 8' kitchen ceiling should have pendants? I will have a moveable cart island in the middle, either 12" or 18" wide. Since my kitchen is only 11" 7" wide I could not have a bigger island.
Thank you for all your help through your videos.
Hi Patti, thank you for watching! It’s not necessary with ceilings that low. If the cart was stationary, you may install pendants, but seeing as how you will be moving them at your will- people will bump into the fixtures. Try semi-flush mounts. They give the illusion of pendants, but still hung up pretty close to the ceiling. Hope that helps!
Thanks so much for this!!! Super helpful! I was hoping you could clarify a comment about how light finishes should match from room to room but in the mixed metals video I get the sense that mixing finishes was ok to do.
My situation is I have 21 ft living room where 60 inch round nickel crystal orb chandelier. Next to the living room I have a spiral staircase with black iron rails where I was thinking of a black finish. This would be on the second floor.
Should they both be the same finish?
Any help is greatly appreciated!!!
I like the mix Shah! 👍🏻
Hi Julie! I'm remodeling my kitchen. I'm trying to find 2 pendant fixtures to go above my island, but we have an antique chandelier from my grandmother right next to the kitchen in our dining room. Do you have any tips for making it cohesive?
Hi Julie, I love your channel! Your lighting video was so very helpful. I just purchased a massive chandelier and I don’t know what to with the rest of house. Would love to have your take.
Every room should have its own distinct look, let the furniture be your guide
Thank YOU Julie for teaching us combining Feng Shui in this modern era. It's time to replace the dining room wall canvas picture, this wall is also facing the window across living room. I've learned from your other episodes that it's a great idea to place a mirror on this wall that attract the natural scenery from that window. But I wonder can I put a crystal chandelier with gold trim that may reflect from the mirror? I'm supposed to use the mirror to absorb the best scenery from that window, but having a crystal chandelier above dining table, would it reflect away what I intended to absorb?
Great channel! Love it!!!! Would you please recommend the places that sell cordless floor lamps and wall-mounted fixtures? I am in Canada, but willing to order from the States as well. Thank you so much!
I have another lighting video that links over 100 fixtures for less than $500 Anele! I’m not sure about the cordless floor lamp, but doesn’t hurt to check the variety of vendors I shared
I think you should add a reference to your title like “Size” so when people search for light fixer sizes compare to their ceiling height it will show..! But your Chanel is amazing and I would LOVE for you to dedicate a playlist for Feng shui... when it comes to directions and metal colours and different rooms of house and why not business and commercial location! thank you
Thank you for the feedback! Just changed it 🙌🏻
I love love your channel! What is a recommendation for the type of light 💡? We have super bright ones and I feel like it’s too bright for the space.
Thank you for watching Anagabrielle! Just lower the wattage on your bulbs. I love soft white LED’s myself, warm but not too yellow 👍🏻
I'm LOVING your channel content. I'm a new Subbie catching up. I guess I'm binge watching lol
Thank you so much for the support Tee! 💗
Hi,do you want to try our Therapy Lamp? Our lamp helps brighten up your office space and gives you a boost of energy when you're stuck indoors all day.Helps you relieve work fatigue. We hope your delivery address is UK, I will send you the item for free.
Best thing about being stuck at home, I started doing projects around my condo, so, I discovered Julie Knuu!, By far my favorite designer to follow. I love your style! So when you mention your friends, I feel that we could be friends. 😂☺️ I have a medium size chandelier in my kitchen, that requires six bulbs; I need light but I also want it soft. I also have undercabinet lighting which helps with the amount of light. Do you have any suggestions on which lightbulbs to use?
Always LED if you can, it’s the more energy efficient choice. Get both soft white and daylight bulbs and test them both before committing to the 6 Kareen!
Great info
Glad it was helpful! 🙏☺️
Thanks julie.
Thank you for watching ☺️
Hi Julie, I just found your channel and already love it! Thanks for sharing all this great information! I would like to know what type of light fixture you would suggest for my formal dining room that has a vaulted ceiling with 3 skylights in it, on one side of the room the ceiling is 8 ft, on the other side it is 13 ft tall. If I want to hang a fixture in the center of the room - above the table, it would hang from a vaulted ceiling, since the ceiling reaches the tallest point off center - I’m hoping I am explaining myself correctly... does it make sense for a chandelier to hang off of a vaulted ceiling (where it is still tilted)? I would love to hear your opinion, thanks!
Yes, center the fixture above the table to define the space below it. Doesn’t matter if it’s hanging from a vaulted portion or the highest beam. The dining room below will dictate where that fixture goes.
Love love love your channel ... Can you give me example of Mediterranean/modern lighting???
Check out the follow up video to this one where I list over 100 fixtures all under $500 Teresa!
Loved it!!! All the brands you gave were very useful. The circle+sphere shaped one is from which brand pls ? the one on your website
That one was custom made for my client SK ☺️
Your awesomeness thanks
Just found your channel today looking for layout ideas and I've been binge watching ever since! For 8 foot ceilings throughout the home, should all the lighting be flush mounting for each room/area?
Just subscribed, thanks!
Thank you for watching! Not if the fixture is situated above a table. Then you can drop it lower since it won’t move.
Hi there, great video! I’m looking for a ceiling light for a 600 sq ft condo with 8 ft ceilings. All other lights in the condo are basic dome shaped but i’m looking for a nice statement centre piece. Any suggestions for a budget of $200? Thanks!
I have another lighting video right after this one where I share all my favorite pieces including vendors linked in the description box Allison! Check it out
I love all these tips!!! Thank you so much! Do you know where I can find the island pendant lights you featured at 1:38? Thank you!
Thank you for watching Kristina! They're sold out but I found an almost identical version here: bit.ly/39YCI5H

Hi Julie I am a fan of yours. I would like to ask you about my square cove ceiling in my dining/kitchen(25meters small diningroom/kitchen). Is it necessary to put my hanging rectangular shaped ceiling light in the middle?
Not necessary, but would be a beautiful feature to highlight the architectural cove 👍🏻
Thanks for a wonderful video. Very specific question. My living room has 8’ ceiling heights. I plan on hanging a fixture above a large ottoman that is between a couch and fireplace. Do you think a flush-mount is still appropriate in this scenario?
Sure, if you need the extra lighting and don’t walk under it 👍🏻
I love ceiling fans for my living room. Tall 20 foot ceiling. Do u have any recommendations?
Good afternoon Julie, i love all your videos. They so helpful 🙏🏿 I have a new house, I am trying to make it look sophisticated and classic. For the lights I like crystal chandeliers for my home, can I mix that with Tefany drops down light for my kitchen? Your opinion will help me greatly. Thank you 🙏🏿
The styles are a bit mixed, crystals a little more glam and Tiffany pendants traditional. If you love the look, go for it Claudette!
She is great at what she does.
Thank you for watching 🙏🏻☺️
Thank you for your advice! You made me feel so much better about a recent purchase for my foyer lighting. I splurged, but I know that i will love it! It hasn't arrived yet, so I am having a bit of anxiety regarding if I chose the right size or not. I think that it will be okay though. My ceiling is 23ft from floor, rounded reverse staircase with 2nd story window. Staircase walls roughly 18ft diameter, but it opens to a platform at the top, so it's not all completely walled-in.. The lighting fixture is a 42" diameter sphere made of crystals (handmade Etsy). It's so pretty and sparkly! i really wanted a light and airy feel for my statement piece and overall vibe for the house. I am guessing that I should center it to the upstairs window, right? Thank you!
Center it to the space below, if that aligns with the second story window, awesome 👍🏻
Thanks for the post. Very helpful.
We got a living room with 19 x 25 and roof at 10ft. Looking for some chandler/Flush mount to the ceiling which brightens the whole room. Can you please suggest
Check out my follow up lighting video Vinay- I link over 100 fixtures all under $500! Thank you for watching 🙏🏻☺️
What kind of light fixtures do you recommend for a small bathroom and small bar table separator between kitchen and living room with 8 ft ceiling. Greatly appreciate your feedback.
Small bathroom- a linear vanity wall sconce. Small bar table- a flush mount ceiling fixture since the ceiling is so low Darion
Hi Julie, as always, I Loved it! In more humid Texas, there's a tendency to have fan lighting. What's your thoughts on how to manage that especially in Living, dining and master bedroom. Believe on those summer nights a ceiling fan is a god sent without going crazy on AC!. Please help. Also when purchasing for a brand new home, which room do you start with?
I’d layer with wall sconces in rooms with ceiling fans for ambient lighting. Start with the room you use the most, typically the common areas if you entertain often.
Hi Julie. What style of chandelier should I pick for rustic mountain home?
Something with iron would be fabulous Jody 👍🏻
Hi Julie, I loved your video. Can you help source me a light, for a living room 16 by 18 with 22-foot ceilings? One wall is filled with ornate ornamental plaster but I like the farmhouse look.
The larger the better- 5-6ft wide if you can. Check any of the vendors I linked in the description box of my other lighting video. Filter by size and you should hopefully have a few options to choose from 👍🏻
Hi Julie! Just found your channel and I am completely inspired! Your videos are so well organized and full of great takeaways.
I am looking for a sizable lighting option for my 2 story/20 foot ceiling foyer over the staircase. I was really ga-ga over the one in this video at 4:23 (crystal inside a globe) and was wondering where it’s from and what size it is. Also, are there any rules on how long it should be as well since you only mentioned diameter?
Any minimum distance necessary between one chandelier and another (ie. one over kitchen dining table and one over kitchen island in same room)
and does your island have to be a minimum size to allow for a chandelier or pendant(s)?
Thank you so much! Looking forward to watching more of you 😊
Hi Tara, I custom made that massive chandelier overseas. It’s 72” in diameter for 21’ ceiling height. It’s an open space so it could handle that size. No rules on island/ dining table lighting, I think as long as they coordinate- whether style or finish, you’re all good. And lastly no minimum size of island for pendant, just scale it proportionately and you should be fine 👍🏻 Thank you for watching!
Thank you for justifying my crazy art nouveau chandelier in my 12' high entry. My mother told me it was too bold, but it felt just right to me. Smaller and less attention grabbing would have look under sized and neglected, so thanks for confirming my impression. ^__^
If it feels right for you- that’s ALL that matters Marianne! It’s your home, it should inspire you daily 😍
Hi Julie, I loved this video. I loved into a brand new house 2 years ago w/ builder grade lighting. I've wanted to change it since day 1 and add beautiful light fixtures plus canned/recessed lighting as each area is "under lit." How can I send you pics of my areas where you can make suggestions?
Hi Dora, I am offering E-design/ virtual consultations while we are in quarantine. You may email me for more details if you’re interested ☺️ Email is in description box
Too good video
Looking for a light fixture to fit our traditional/farmhouse/cozy gray walls and camel color furniture, foyer. it's 8 feet...also want something that matches or goes well with it to put in the large dining area and over the 6 foot island. Thanks!
Julie how would you recommend sizing light fixtures for a vaulted ceiling with exposed wood beams? Should the height I use to scale the fixture be the tallest point?
Use the height where the fixture would be located. If in the center of the room, use that height. Not the highest point nor lowest point.
I just found your Chanel and have binge watched your videos the last two days! They are so helpful. I’m so glad you did this particular video! I’m wanting to dress up my transitional breakfast nook. It has a 10’ ceiling. I want the RH Foucault orb crystal chandelier but it only comes in 21 and 32 inch. Do you think I can get away with the 32?
If there’s a view, go smaller so you don’t block it 👍🏻
Julie Khuu thanks Julie!! Not much of a view besides a large framed art on the wall in the breakfast nook. It’s a typical open concept with the family room and kitchen nearby.
Good morning hope things are well hope you’re staying safe thank you for all your great videos just had another question so the electricians are doing a lot of wiring in the new house and they are replacing all the old recessed lighting in the kitchen with new wait for LED recessed lighting on dimmers and smart switches but I have to replace the pendant lights over the island and the kitchen sink one I am having difficulties finding something that matches looking for gold or brass and crystal typically does the island pendant light and the light over the sink have to Match exactly and if so where is the best place to buy a matching set do not mind paying a little more to get the best looking fixtures that go well with each other I checked out Lowe’s and Home Depot haven’t had that much luck on a matching combo set I purchased a couple chandeliers from Macy’s and pier one imports but I did not realize I had to have a matching one for the kitchen sink One last question is it better to have a chandelier over the island independently or is there much difference which would be more recommended looking for a luxurious field to the kitchen there will be chandeliers in the living room and dining room and a few other places in the home so any recommendations would be greatly appreciated as always I hope you have a wonderful and blessed day your advice has helped my house becoming a beautiful home so far
Hi Thomas, I would do a recessed light over the sink and pendants over the island. Check out the follow up video to this one where I link over 100 of my favorite fixtures all under $500. I also link my favorite online vendors to help your search 👍🏻
Hi Julie, when you have a wall sconce very close to a hallway light, is it best to keep in the same light fixture collection or as long as it maintains the same style (same finish, shape, crystal) it's best to mix and match collection to keep things interesting? Thanks for the feedback
Mix and match always Anne! You direct what you want the viewer to see 👍🏻☺️
Love the video as always so wondering I have a living room with high ceilings just purchased a home there is a ceiling fan in the living room I would like to change it out for a chandelier and I would like to change a lot of the outdated fixtures for nice chandeliers gold or brass with crystals where is the best place to shop for those Home Depot and Lowe’s were limited on options at least at the store any helpful recommendations or options would be greatly appreciated definitely want though luxury more expensive chandeliers want to feel like I’m walking into trump Taj Mahal LOL thank you so much wishing you and your family a happy new year
Check out my other lighting video Thomas. I link over 100 different fixtures all under $500 👍🏻
Thank you!
Thank you for watching! 🙏🏻☺️
@@JulieKhuu do you have a video on industrial urban interior design? It would be great to see it through your sight.
I like your idea
Thank you for watching 🙏🏻☺️
I have a small area for dining room and living room together, where should I place a chandelier? thanks
Hi Julie, how do you pick lighting on in an open concept home where the dining room kitchen and living room are all open? Do I match my pendant lighting over my island with my light over the dining room table? I’m definitely going to check out your link on places to find great lighting. Thank you for the wonderful video!
Define each space with its own fixture Michelle
Thanks for the helpful video. I have a 20 foot ceiling where I plan to hang a cluster of three large Sputnik chandeliers. How far down should I hang the largest? From ceiling to the floor of the second level is about 9 feet. There are large windows that span the ceiling to the floor.
Keep it high to make the space seem lofty Dena. I’d say 12-14’ from the finished floor
Hello! Loved the video. I have a two story great room with lots of natural light but not sure which type of chandelier to go for. The raindrop chandeliers look nice but not sure if that might be too much..
It’s never too much 😉
@@JulieKhuuThanks 😅 this is what I'm going for.. www.amazon.com/dp/B07PCRRHGT/?coliid=IV99AMWKTJAV1&colid=1UVAEKAW6P1K0&psc=1
