The way you dive into the topic without beating around the bush is extremely respectful of people's time. Thank you for all your hard work and the amazing content. 🙏
Got to say it, your videos give the exact approach to explanation I need. Y2B s stuffed with meaningless movies, stupid eyecandies, exalted and emotional, and one can spend an unreasonable amount of time on them and learn literally nothing. You create VERY valuable content. So big thanks for what you do and how you do mate.
This is just a hidden gem of youtube
Hello Reynard, I noticed that recently you've been focusing on video guides, is there any chance that you'll resume the House to Home series soon or maybe give us a house tour of your own apartment, you've done soooo much and I'd really love to see everything together.
Yes, I mentioned this in my past videos and on a couple of community post. Three House To Home projects coming in the next 3 months!
Next video will be a huge one from a project I've been working on for the past 5 months.
Very helpful - I am realizing I need to focus more on the flooring we have as a starting place.
the thing with "cool" and "warm" colors is not as simple as it sounds. There is a lot more into this topic. There is warm and cool green. And there is warm and cool blue. And then it also depends on the texture and how hard and shiny a material is. A very flat, hard and shiny pink can be also rather cool. While navy (being slightly on the red side) soft pillow with texture will be rather warm. It is always a mixture of different attributes which at the end decides how the room feels.
I think it is much "simpler" with lightning. You really say "cool" or "warm" light.
oh, and there is acoustic! One topic which many designers ignore. The acoustic of a room has a huge impact on how it feels.
ah … and one more: the place you live and the view outside of your window will also have a huge impact. It is for instance common to use more cooler colors at the coast with plenty of sunny days while using warmer colors and heavier materials in a forest cabin. This connection between outside and inside needs to be considered as well. Otherwise your apartment will feel a bit out of space and not like home (because it doesn't fit into the environment).
great comment, we need your own channel!
Thank you so much about this class! As a person who wants to dive a little bit more into interior design (as a hobby) and maybe (hopefully) follow a course in the future, I found this video really inspiring as well as educational! I love your style! I would love more videos like this!
I love this! This is a very helpful video! Please continue to create videos like this and also case study type of videos.
Thank you for this. I would love to see more videos on the 60-30-10 rule with lots of examples. This one was so helpful. You are great at explaining the rules of decorating.
I love colors. Combinations help me put harmonious colors together. Whether that’s in outfits or in home decor.
Your videos are so amazingly calming yet inspiring to get up and decorate, thank you! :)
Awesome, and yes I would LOVE to see more about color!
Such a simple and informative video. I love your video style, and your voice is so calming and soothing. I enjoy binge-watching your content while doing my marking :)
This is huge! I’ve been doing this intuitively, but it’s so great to find correct tools for the color scheme to know for sure
i love this breakdown! I learned a lot, thank you xx
intuitively i designed my current room in monochromatic shades beige, accent of yellows, creams and white. With textures I hav rattan, linen, terracota pots and wooden furniture. For pattern i have gingham on curtains and on my duvet cover ^_^ the rental also came with warm brown carpet. i love it, its a mixture of playful yet cozy cottagecore vibe. there is a lot of plants and generous south facing window too. its sunny and bright. really helps with my mental health.
But im moving in w/ my partner to his place that has grey wooden floors and black furniture, smaller windows, no wonder i find it hard visualising how i can bring my style and harmonise it with his. Your breakdown really helped to show me whats really going on 💗💗
Sounds like a wonderful place you had there!
Always wanted a guide for this!!!!! Thank you!
Thanks so much for video 🙏🏿 and surely want to see you go deeper in the color theory
Thank you for this video. It has given me a better understanding of color and how to apply it at home.
Can you please share more about how to stay within a color scheme, but choose different colors for different bedrooms and rooms of the house?
Yes, please go deeper into color theory. It is so complicated and it would be great to be guided through it by someone knowledgeable, Great video.
Thank you!! it was so clear and helpful! Very very good video I will watch again. 😊
This is the most valuable information I have come across, you have an undersatanding of the subject and communicate it in a very effective way. No drama or acting involved, however very interesting .Thank You !
Excellent video! Thank you for posting this.
This is such a useful video! I love your channel, thank you for high quality content ❤
Love the colour ideas. Would lobe more on combining browns and tans with color-wheel colors
The color breakdown was great! I would love to learn a lot more about apply color to walls and if there are rules for how many walls in a room should have X or Y type of colors. Do I always need to ensure I pair a bold color with a neutral one if I don't want my room to be too dark? That kind of thing.
Thanks again for the awesome video
Thank you for your time and this video!
I’m in the middle of trying to get my place to feel more warm.
The place I'm renting has white walls, but the floor is like ceramic tiles in yellow/cream which limits my options too much.
With the help of this, I can try to incorporate some of this into trying to get the house more inviting.
Would love to see more of color palette and pairings :D cheers!
Ceramic floor tiles are deadly. My grand daughter slipped on the tiled floor (in her parents home) and the sound of her head hitting the tiles was absolutely sickening thankfully she was not too badly hurt.
This was so well made and explained
Thank you for this video. It really helped my design process.
Wow, this was extremely helpful! Thank you!
Just found your channel. Only two videos in so far, but I’m enjoying what I’m seeing. Thanks for sharing your knowledge
Thank you. Great video! It helped me a lot ❤️
This is really cool! I was looking for something like that!
this is insanely educational and easy to understand~!! 👏
🙌thank you for sharing this knowledge.😌
i am now looking at my own apartment to make some changes based on this video on color because i know there is some room for improvement 😅
Very helpful thank you!
Great video!! This was extremely helpful!! Thanks
You are the MVP!!!! Thank you very much!
Hey Reynard, I love your content!! Please consider making a video about choosing a wall color and choosing a color for your ceiling (nobody ever talks about this!) Thanks 😊❤
This was really helpfull! Thankyou
Very informative! Thank you so much 😊
Very informative. I like the way you teach.
More colour theory would be great ! 😁
Canva Color Wheel - thanks for the tip, it is very helpful.
Wow, simply amazing
Got to a learn a lot, thank you🙏
So helpful! Thank you!
The best teacher)
Thanks, very comprehensive!
I love your videos. Thank you ☺️ Our home ist a bit boring. The floor ist oak, the furniture is teak wood brown leather and white walls. I love wood because of its surface the warm shine and temparature if you touch it. Our last flat had high walls, here we feel like the walls were to narrow. So we choosed white walls. I have to change a lot. My favorit colors are cold like green and blue, I will look for a warmer tone.
Very clear guide
very useful and interesting video, thanks!
I actually felt like i got what i searched in the search box. Thank you.
thank u so much i learned so much in this vid
Thanks for sharing I definately use the 60 30 10 rule with my white grey and teals/blues but it's not trendy these days I see more earthy tones I just feel the colours I have chosen open up my studio more
Thank you 🖤
Great tips.
🎉🎉🎉Good choice🎉🎉
Excellent! Could you create a video about color cohesion throughout a house?
good presentation 👍
Amazing
Ive been looking at videos some just annoying. I prefer yours - nice voice to the point. I learned just by watching one of your videos. Thank u.
Glad I could help!
Also you can look at the wave method of building color palette
Thanks Reynard, this video has been very helpful. I recently downsized only kept 1/4 of what was, the new place is comfortable, but it lacks something, I can’t quite name what’s missing. Can you suggest a few pointers??!! Thanks ahead from USA
Thank you for the vidéo. I really like colors. All of them but can get overwhelmed. I want completely different mood for each room. Bright warm and a bit maximalist in my living room, but more neutral n peaceful not too excitung in m'y room as i have trouble with sleep. For my dining room i would like a more moody earthy with a pinch of formal. But still causal and warm. My entry i just want terracotta. This color just make me feel good. Si the challenge is to make all of those idea cohesive. I love colors but i also dont want to look messy
Hey Reynard will you please make a video dedicated to which white paint is right for someone looking to follow your specific style to the T. Please, I dont want to buy paint before I hear your thoughts
I love all white linen with a couple of colourful pillows. I have lovely pine wood furniture, would like to paint the bedroom all white but afraid it will look like a hospital room.
Hey Reynard. I really like your videos. They have good content to understand. Thank you so much for them!!
I was hoping of you could make some video on undertone and how to understand the same. It would be great if that can be interactive.
Also if you know any sites or a tool which helps in understanding undertones, will really appreciate if you can share.
Thanks and more power to you fornall your lovely videos.
Cheers, Neha
Hey, thanks for this video and your tips.
I use color tools such as "dopely colors" and "adobe color" for all my color needs. what do you think about using these kinds of tools?
excellent
Terrific
Thanks for this comprehensive video! I have a small space and was gifted a lovely, large painting that can be seen throughout. It is very colorful, with red poppies, bright blue sky and many shades of green/yellow foliage. I also have bamboo floors which have yellowed with age. When I did the Canva color scheme you suggested, I hated every color, except a deep gray. The others were a salmon, a mint green and a mid-toned blue. What do?
You can do it manually too, like dragging a square or circle in keynote/canva/powerpoint, and then use the color picker on a specific spot of the image to choose the color. Rinse and repeat until you have yourself a group of colour.
? How can I figure out what the undertone of my wood flooring is?
Your videos are so helpful, thank you very much! I am a new subscriber & I’m stumped about decorating my studio space.
If you and or anyone anyone in this community can offer suggestions, that would be wonderful. Thank you so much 🙃
Step 4
Can we choose a palette and apply the chosen ones with the variants tons?
I'm asking because I have a turquoise blue scheme, with coral, and now I want to add another blue tone, without altering the palette. It's ok?
Things to consider What's your favorite color? why not start there? Choose colors that make you and your guests look attractive. Much of how you decorate depends on what you are able to buy. If I were doing a whole room from scratch, I would select the big pieces first, being careful to buy pieces that are comfortable to use, safe to get in and out of, that will stay clean (no white couches), and will wear well. Once you have the good couch, the good rug, the right bed, you can use the color wheel to decorate the rest of the room.
But what if the colors and textures of the right couch, rug and bed don’t match with each other or with the wall/floor colors from the start?
Thank you for the info. I find it difficult to follow without visuals😢. Please when you make future videos, describe the color palette choice and explanation of what you chose. For all us visual learners out there
At 8:47, that piece of artwork, where is it from? Thank you great video
Bro suggest a new video on grey colour and lamps for a small closed room
What colors go well with grey
Great tips! What make is your cardigan? :P
What about black and white? How do you use them?
Where do you get the color pallete tabs
❤🌼
How accurate is canva when it generates the color result from the image I uploaded?
And what about textures? How do I combine colours and textures into a cohesive space?
How is this great advice free?!?? Thank you
First!!!
⭐ gold star for you. congrats
Nice🧡! Your videos should be seen by more watchers. Can I repost your channel without changing anything on the clean platform named Ganjing World? Thank you!

Although this looks like an excellent tutorial on how to be an interior designer when it comes to colors, as an architect, I still don't get it, even after watching it four times and having a license in architecture. So many patterns and so few practical examples are simply confusing. E.g., why do I need to put some ,,dominant'' color on walls? Why can't I put it on a ceiling? Or choose furniture with it? I am not a psychic who can read people's minds. This looks the same as when I am back in college; everyone teaches you elements, and no one is interested in teaching you how to connect everything in a coherent unity.
Totally relate with this frustration. I know this is an old comment but maybe I can give a bit of insight having been on both sides as a student and instructor for illustration and design. Absolutely frustrating learning A through Z but not always knowing how ABC leads to D and eventually EFG but design/creativity is such a broad area you'll always find examples that work with and against things we've learned. Part of it is experience and the other part is exposure.
Knowing patterns and spotting them will eventually help you connect things in a way that works for your tastes. If we took your dominant color example, you could absolutely put a green color on a wall, ceiling, a main furniture piece. A green will work in many rooms as a wall color or furniture choice but very few rooms will work with it as a ceiling. If you google 'room with green ceiling' you'll see some examples. However if you compare it to the results searching 'room with green wall' you'll notice it's a lot less. I wouldn't tell my students "If you have a green ceiling, you should use yellow as accent colors in the rest of the room" because you will find examples of every other color being used as well depending on where you look.
I'm currently trying to fit a color scheme into my new apartment. I wanted to go for a very light and warm neutral theme with yellowy green accents but because the floors are dark and cooler tone, I'm leaning towards more of a blueish green instead to not contrast against the floors as much. I came to this conclusion not because I knew all these rules but because I've seen great examples of those rules working to my tastes with the blueish green and much less working in the other direction with yellowy green.
A very different experience compared to another profession like pharmaceuticals or accounting. There are rules that have to be followed and things that always connect elements because if ABC and D are not done correctly HIJK down the line don't make sense. Maybe not the best example but hope that helps!
It's hard...🥲
