    I currently have every single one of these items in my home now, but I have to admit that sheer curtains are a TOTAL game changer. Which ones can you relate to and which ones can you do without? Lemme know!

      With crown moulding and windows 0.5ft lower than that, where do I hang the sheers? Just below the moulding? Will it look weird when they’re open and you can see the wall/gap above the window to the ceiling? Thanks! Currently have white wood blinds and 2 giant windows in my kitchen and one giant window in my front living room. I want to use this tip but not sure how!

    I bought a silver Ikea mirror turned it on it's side and hung it over the sideboard; it has made such a difference in my dining room. Same with plants and greenery in the home.
    I made the mistake of removing the wall sconces in my living room. I hung up a painting recently, and having sconces would take it to the next level. This will be on my to do list. Also on my to do list are new curtains, so will include sheers with the semi-blackout curtains. Thanks Julie for the advise!

    Hi Julie
    Wow did not know about that sconce trick! I will be trying that one very soon in the dining room! Sheer curtains are a must in my home bc my neighbors are close and I can see the street. I have a nubbed white silk poly blend on traverse rods downstairs and plain white sheers in the bedrooms. But my windows are very layered. First honeycomb shades some blackout some translucent white sheers and valences and lined side panels. In winter the layers help keep the cold out. My husband won’t let me change the curtains bc he likes the way they work. They look nice but sometimes we all want a change. They are traditional looking. I love kiva she is so practical ! And Nick is funny. See you next week! Margaret 🤗👍🏻

    This was a very Interesting and eye opening easy yet effective ideas which will make an impact in our homes making them cosy and inviting. Using a large mirror in the entry way (not facing the door of course) reflects light and is important for that last check before you leave your home. Usually, you see small mirrors used in entry ways, but using a large mirror is a great idea. I love the idea of sheer curtains, but this is hard if you have cats 🐈.

    Thanks Julie! I love using sheer curtains. It lets the light in, but gives you privacy. I am thinking of hanging a mirror. I think that is a great idea! For a fun decor item. If you live in an area that gets a lot of rain... Put a nice stylish umbrella stand near the front door(put some fun colorful umbrellas in there if you are into color). Or next time you are at a antique store... Or even a thrift store... Pick up a piece of vintage art that would go well with your decor. Change out your decor on top of your fireplace mantel. I like to hang a colorful piece of art that people see when they first walk in the door.

    Alas, the hot Texas sun means not only do sheers let in too much heat, but I have to go beyond that and add solar screens to help block that brutal sun.
    But the real reason I can get shears? My young cats would destroy them. What do you recommend for those with cats when you cannot get sheers or other types of fabric curtains (blinds and shutters are the only things they can't shred)?
    I recently have invested in plants (real and faux) because I learned I do feel happier with them around, and the internet helps me keep the living ones alive. 😂
    I plan to get a mirror for the entry, and lamps orv sconces once I decorate my family room. That is held up by the search for couches so we can coordinate everything...
    Great tips, it was really just the sheers that feels impractical for cat owners...

      It really depends on your budget, but I love Ikea for sheers. My fav ones are only $15 for a pair. I have a lighting video to source wall sconces- check it out under “lighting” Swati ☺️

    I love all of these but I have a question about those sheer curtains - I live in an 1860 house in a small city. We have large windows. Running along the floor under every (every!) window is a baseboard hot water heater. I can’t have curtains to the floor bc they would cover the heater. If I stop the curtains a couple inches above the heaters I might as well stop at the window sill. Can I only use blinds or shades? There are a lot of people like me out there. What do you suggest?

    • @JulieKhuu
      @JulieKhuu  Před rokem

      I suggest inset mount / light filtering shades for your condition. That will allow you some privacy while still letting natural daylight in 👍🏻

    Hi. All your content is so inspirational, and you really do stand out amongst the rest!
    So Question, sofa and accent chair vs sectional , which looks better and more versatile? Also I’ve always had light beige furniture with cream walls, from leather to slipcover. I’ve never tired of the color, I find the creamy whites so soothing. But was wondering if a slate gray sofa against white dove walls would give similar affect? Being that I’m on the market for a new one. What are your thoughts?

    • @JulieKhuu
      @JulieKhuu  Před rokem

      No, the gray against white would give you the opposite effect of “soothing” since it’s high contrast. It will feel more modern for sure. Sectionals seat more people since you don’t have a dead corner. It’s really just a preference Camelot 👍🏻

    Hi Julie, thanks again for a great vid. I'm looking out for a large leaning mirror for the bedroom as for dressing yes but also as the bed can't go in the command position as a fixed radiator there in my rental flat so for viewing the door..The sheer curtains look great but I may have to be careful as kerbside and currently have dense nets , which need replacing so I now have options. Cheers again :) * Ahh, just noted that the mirror shouldn't face the door - that's a problem as door to right of bed and mirror was to be in r corner ahead ..in line with the door. Damn.Angle from the l corner I guess :)

    • @JulieKhuu

      I would not recommend curtains or operable drapery for these windows Diana, it’s a fire hazard. Try custom inset shades or pre-fabricated outside mount shades to cover these windows. They’re modern and the options for color and materials are endless!
