    Not having a plan is very crucial, not just in interior designing but in life itself. ✨✨

    Great video Reynard !
    Suggestion for upcoming videos - could you perhaps give us tips and tricks for designing a space that is child friendly? I assume a lot of parents who watch your videos, including myself, would like to implement or emulate your designs but often hold back due to being mindful of young kids.

    Can you give tips on how to style a home that is easy to clean and maintain? I’m dealing with genetic depression that started when I was 15 and it’s sooo difficult to find the right balance between bare bone minimal and nicely styled space… I want to do something for my home so it looks nice, but I can’t do something that is difficult for clean up cause I already have enough in that department lol

    Thank you for helping us plan a room or home. Very helpful.
    For those of us who use inches and feet, instead of metric, would you please give a reference for us. For example, in a previous video you showed inches/feet in reference to how much space is ideal to walk around a bed.
    Your videos are the most informational that I’ve located on CZcams. Please consider writing a book.

    • @reynardlowell
      @reynardlowell  Před 6 měsíci +2

      Yeah I usually put the metric conversion in the video, but this time I didn't bcs the number are supposed to just be representative not a guidance like it usually is.

  • @Kris7245
    @Kris7245 Před 6 měsíci

    I just discovered your channel! I’d love to see a video on how you can plan the layouts for rooms that have walkways diagonally across the room (which is common in small apartments or older homes), or if the windows and doorways in spaces aren’t centered. (Example I need to place a dining room table but if it’s centered in front of the window it blocks the pathway across the room, but if I place it in the corner I don’t know how to balance the offset from the window, this is a common issue in many homes and apartments I’ve lived in over the years!). Secondly, how do you decide what height furniture to go with? (Example: for living room focal wall how to choose between a low tv stand, a mid size like a sideboard height, or taller bookcases. Then how to work in all the upholstered pieces and side pieces so the heights don’t look too hodgepodge and wacky?) I run into these two problems the most because I can’t decide how to balance a room with layout limitations, or to balance the wall space visually with the right heights. I love how your advice is always so adaptable to different styles so would love your input! Thanks!

    Hi Reynard, recently found your channel. Loving it! May I ask where and how you get your linen sheer curtains? and how to install them? We have recently moved into a a place with large windows and big walls.

    I’m renovating my bathroom, already installed white floor tiles and my plan is to make all white washroom (floor,wall tiles,vanity,comode,)with golden fittings & accessories, is this a good idea ? Any good tip to change something?

  • @Shinnosuki
    @Shinnosuki Před 6 měsíci

    Can you provide insights for large and even high end stereos? This is my issue and my starting point and no idea how to blend it in as the main focal point. These systems easily takes an entire wall and even 1/4 of the entire room with sound acoustics in mind as well so you can imagine the challenge.

    HI, do you have any tips on where to buy a good quality leather sofa, my current sofa from voyager of 8 years has sagged badly in the seating as in very uncomfortable? I have been looking at Stressless Stella or IMG Narvik ranges, hard to tell what is quality these days.

    I love your CZcams channel fantastic ideas but I find the background music distracting I feel I hear the music first and find it hard to hear you is it possible not to have it, it is really off putting thanks

    • @barbarapaige
      @barbarapaige Před 6 měsíci

      Hi Karen, I agree about the music, although his is better than most - too many Y-tubers have music that is too distracting and often so loud you can't hear the presenter well. Why do they think the music works? If the content is good, as in Reynard's videos, they don't need music; we're here for the advice.
