Having lived in 13 homes over the last 35 years, lighting is always paramount to “finishing” the feel/ambiance of a home. It changed with every home d/t ceiling heights, window and room sizes. Would truly appreciate your style guides for lighting as well as lamp shades. Thank you for sharing your gift!
Yes! Design rules! Your videos are phenomenal- thank you! I honestly, no kidding, lose my breath while viewing the designed spaces you feature. Just gorgeous!
I absolutely love your style and the information you share - I am not a professional designer but love to decorate. I have actually been to High Point several times and it’s where I purchased my curved sofa and many other pieces over 15 years ago and now it’s trending again. There is so much to see and I absolutely love it! You are a very classy lady and I appreciate you sharing!
A gift, this video is, to your followers. An early introduction to design and direction that the world of interior is coursing forward with. Your personal curation of design, is in your expression of your art and craft, with not just interior and architectural design, but the design of lifestyle, and beautiful living. Many thanks, for inspiring the desire to live beautiful and in harmony of the senses.
Thank you for sharing. I have been watching a lot of your videos, the amount of information is incredible, and although I like to look at your classic style, I love that just listening to you can still give me a lot of knowledge.
I love and admire your classic style. I don’t have the ability to replace everything in 5 years. I want my selections to be lasting. I will only incorporate trendy items that can be replaced. Your ability to teach classic design keeps me coming back
I want to know how to place the tv. You mentioned that you like to keep the fireplace as the focal point and not placing the tv on top of the fireplace (which I absolutely agree with). But i always have a hard time to understand where to place the tv, since nowadays our lives revolve around the tv, how do we incorporate that in our design ?
Thanks for sharing the trends you saw at High Point. I would love a video about wall moulding. Spacing, styles, rooms, ceilings…so many factors to consider when considering adding wall moulding. Thanks!
Thanks Miriam! Beautiful decor…love your style and classic designs. I would like to see how you work your magic on smaller limited budget of lets say $15K for a living room traditional design. Keep these videos coming.🥰
This is such great content. Thank you for sharing with us! I would love to see a video on lighting. Particularly, how do you determine how many lumens of general overhead light you need for a space? Do you calculate lumens per square foot? And how do you go about laying out a plan for lighting and spacing it out in a room?
Good day Miss. Manzo. My name is Gerardo . I am so glad I found your channel to be able to learn the designs of homes use today. Thank you for your amazing ideas and designs truly excited to learn what your great designs and skills have to offer. I admire very much classic design and your taste are exceptional 👌
Yes, I thought this was so well done. Yes, to videos about lighting and carpet guidelines. I am a Canadian expat watching you from Asia. I love your style and the fact that you are Canadian!
Would love a focus on lighting especially lamps and lamp shades- the design rules. And types of bulbs to use as it has become confusing. Incorporating lamps into accent table settings and adding decorations to the table tops.
Please do the video about rules and suggestions on lighting, rug sizes, window treatments, etc. I would appreciate your information. I love High Point market. I had the opportunity to go with a designer friend. I had never seen as many men dressed so elegantly in one place. It obviously made a big impression. Glad you had the opportunity to go. I am sure you needed time to rest when you left. Thanks for the heads up. I really like your classic style.
I would like to see a video of your design guidance for reupholstering classic furniture, dos and don’ts with fabrics, colors, patterns, and in certain cases why to do that rather than sell or give the old ones away and buy new chairs.
Hello Miriam, thank you so much for your wonderful and informative video’s. I have only just discovered you and absolutely appreciate your classic, classy and beautiful design ethic! So happy to have found you, I love everything “design” particularly when it is done in such and easy to follow also so beautifully illustrated…. Cinzia - Australia.
I miss those trade shows … used to go to Chicago for the merchandise marts and high point with my sister who is a designer as well , yes lots to take in and process . I also wanted to comment on some of the negative comments below .. I just can’t believe people actually send these …. Your an amazing , classy , informative , and Quintessential designer. Believe me I’ve been exposed to the best in the industry … love from sunny Florida ☀️☀️
Thanks so much Miriam for all your informative videos. Would it be possible for you to make a video about the best way to decorate around a masonry fireplace. Thanks again!
I wonder if you have a video on exterior lighting yet. Which style fits best with particular houses, what size should one go with, how do we acheive different atmospheres in zoned areas outside?
Great insight to the up and coming trends and informative ideas on how to incorporate them into your home in a measured way so that you home can look elevated but will not date too quickly.
Thank you very much, for you tips inspiration ideas . I always love watching you video, you been my inspiration . I learn alot from you into decor perspective . You give me the ideas , how to incorporate , the decor piece I bay , for decor my house. Thank you again Miriam you the best .
Yes,would love to see more details on design tips for lights,carpets,rugs,door Mats,and also transitional home decor with detail guide for choosing furniture,decor peices,bedding,curtains,kitchen and table with cutlery if possible for complete guide of transitional house
Just discovered your channel a few months ago. Love it and appreciate your professional and personal advice. I would love to see home office lightening ideas, especially task and overhead lightening combined.
I learn something every time I watch your channel.Enjoy watching for all of your design trips. I’m very much a transitional/traditional style as well. Would you mind sharing your warm grey paint color in this video? I have ‘agreeable grey’ by SW thru most of my home with dark floors and currently needing to repaint a couple of rooms. Trying to see if yours is any lighter… Thank you.
I have two curved wooden chairs from 20years ago and still love them. They have wooden arms and structure but the seat and inner back are a kind of closely woven cane and the outside backs are veneered wood.
Thank you💐what about dark wooden furniture…. What colours could be used. I am a fan of your great classic style…., it’s different 💐Many thanks for this video.
People are likely to regret those heavily veined marbles unless they buy extremely high-quality marble and use them sparingly. I remember those heavily veined marble surfaces from decades earlier, and most were eventually removed because they appeared so very dated. A few exceptions, of course, but most appeared extremely dated after a while. I've seen so many in Paris apartments that are just timeless no matter how heavily veined they are. I rarely encounter that in other cities, outside of Paris, London, and Manhattan. Also, you need a truly gorgeous, complimentary hardwood floor to warm that marble up, otherwise, it can feel like an echo chamber or, if the marble is white/light grey, an ice palace. The wise thing to do with trends is to incorporate small items you can inexpensively replace, and even then to use them very sparingly. Boucle is not to be used if you have cats, dogs, or children. Boucle can painfully rip out your cat's claws and your dog's nails just from them stepping on it. Boucle will catch on the setting of your diamond rings, tennis bracelets, necklace clasps (i.e. if you lie down on a boucle sofa), bracelets, and even on the metal brads of your jeans. I learned this, the hard way, when I purchased an adorable boucle blazer back in the early aughts. I wore that chic blazer twice, and I've hung on to it as a *reminder* to never buy boucle again. By the way, I'm single, no children and no pets. I still found it incredibly high maintenance. Even when I would go to hug a friend, sometimes their earrings, bracelets, or rings would snag on my adorably chic boucle blazer. To this day, I still love to occasionally take that boucle blazer out of the armoire and look at how chic and cute it is, but I do not wear it. It would be great to take photos in, or if you're antisocial and don't like people and prefer to isolate, but it's really impractical no matter how fabulous it may seem. The design industry certainly knows how to incorporate a trend that people will grow tired of quickly, so they can abruptly do an about-face come fall/spring and sell them something else. I much prefer timeless fabrics that you can live on and live in. If you don't believe me, go buy yourself a chic little boucle blazer and wear it out to dinner with your family or friends, and be sure to give them all big heartfelt hugs. See how many of their watches, bracelets, necklaces and earrings get snagged on that boucle. With any luck, they'll all be wearing slick jade and no metals, and no one with get snagged up.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge and information. I would like a video on appropriate lighting especially about light levels. What luminous intensity do you need where? By the way, the fireplace trends are great. & Happy Easter...
I absolutely love your design insights and advice. I watched your video on window treatments and applied what I learned from you. I would love to share my pictures with you!
Soo interesting Thank you., I’ve heard a few designers say Grey is OUT.. Including too much Marble in a Kitchen or Bathroom! Warmer Grey is still a win?? Are BASKETS in all their shapes, Still in Fashion? Thank you Kindly?
Thanks for watching yes warm grey in small doses is definitely still in mixed with beige as for too much marble, that is a trend in my opinion that is just beginning. As for baskets, it really depends on the style you’re trying to achieve as well as the style of the basket itself.
@@miriammanzointeriors Aaah. Thank you so kindly… ! I’m a Classic Girl, But also Shabby Chic. I like the Swedish/ French influence. In the middle to less Clutter. Only Like OLDE Baskets… Jenny From Johannesburg. South Africa… 🇿🇦🐘🦓🐆🦒🦁🙏🏻🌸
Hi thanks for watching her it’s almost impossible for me to recommend a Greige colour as there are other factors that would need to be known such as the colour of your flooring and the quality of light coming in
I've noticed that women of a certain age and gals that work with horses get these enormous ''Man-Hands'' we have a local weather girl, very lovely, with big Man-Hands. Camera Angles, putting things closer to the camera makes them look even bigger, wrapped around the knees ie my mom and grandma's didn't have Man-Hands.
Thank you great video, I have question should a TV be place in a luxury living room or should it be place in another area in the home, I wanted to make my living classy and not see that black TV on the wall for in a table, what are your thoughts ?
Hi thanks for watching I would definitely place it in another room if possible, if not I would consider getting the “frame TV” so that it could be made to look like Artwork in the room
@@miriammanzointeriors Thank you so much I will truly find another room for the TV, I'm new to your channel and love your Interior Designs of luxury and classic work, you are so talented. Thank you for teaching me and all of us the right way of designing our homes.
