    The last few minutes mattered so much to see. I was feeling guilty for wanting to decorate my apartment because it's temporary... You helped me realize that I have the right to invest in pieces that bring me happiness,. I don't want to wait 7 years before I create my own safe space, I'll do it now!

    i totally agree with you! in the first three years of my stay in my apartment , my apartment was dull until i asked some help from my friend to organize my stuff and me adding rug and plants and changing my sofa and it did great on my mental health. waking up happy and going to bed with a smile knowing that something beautiful will greet you in the morning is such a nice feeling. thanks for sharing some great tips!

  • @Jennifer_Lewis_Beach_Living

    Excellent ideas to zhush up a rental. Two tweaks:
    - Be careful with peel and stick wallpaper and the type of wall it is. If the drywall isn’t done well, the peel and stick wallpaper will rip off the paint and drywall, and you’ll have a repair job on your hands.
    - Check with your landlord before painting walls and hanging window treatments. Corporate managed buildings do not allow painting, and they also have requirements on the window treatments that face the outside of the window.

    Omg I love your encouragement. I've been renting for 10 years. But like you said I splurge myself with all the fixtures and furniture I like. I want to be able to come home feeling comfortable and restful. I've been in the same place this 10 years. Our home or apartment is supposed to be our oasis when we come home from a. Hectic day at work. It's a place to rest and feel good😊

    I’m loving all of these interior design videos!
    I would love a video on decorating around wood paneling! Whether it’s painting over fake wood paneling, restraining real wood paneling, or just what colors to use to decorate that aren’t going to clash with the typical orange or sand colored paneling that is so common. How to decorate when the paneling is on the ceiling and what light fixtures to use. How to decorate when it’s on the wall, what things should you hang on it. What type of flooring would look best?
    There’s a home we are looking into that has paneling EVERYWHERE. It’s real wood and hand installed by a great grandfather of ours who built the home. It looks like it’s straight out of a 1950’s knotty pine kitchen ad. They haven’t updated it since 1963. How do you honor the history of a home but update it to make it personalized?

    • @JulieKhuu
      @JulieKhuu  Před 4 lety +1

      Great ideas! Honestly, if it’s not your style I would paint right over it. That’s the more cost effective and inspiring solution vs. purchasing furniture and decor to match it if you don’t LOVE it.

      In your opinion what would be the best way to put up new window treatments? (Least damage) my fiancé is wanting some curtains for his game room for during the day when it’s bright but we don’t want to cause any trouble for our landlord

    • @donnaschindlbeck7457
      @donnaschindlbeck7457 Před rokem

      @@amberpants771 I would contact your landlord and ask what their preference is. They might want them in the wall, wood trim or to use heavy duty command hooks. A lot depends on wall material (drywall or plaster) type of window ( inset or flush) how often they paint and how long you’ve lived there. In addition, if you’ve been stellar tenants (pay on time, quiet, and keep your home clean and tidy) they might spring for window coverings🤞Trust me many landlords will negotiate with very good tenants.

    Its super cheap to buy tupperwear/plastic cups and spray paint for some planters. If you cut them in half and put fake plants in them they are light enough to stick to walls in spots above tvs or windows. Making fake vines look like theyre growing down to cover the tops of windows slightly is an awesome way to layer.

  • @Eman-bx1yb

    I feel that most people have an idea of what they find beautiful. What makes an interior designer or decorator special is their ability to pull things together in a harmonious way to make the client's image of beauty look put together. There are many styles that I do not like, but when that style is put together correctly, I cannot deny that for that particular style.... it was well done. I feel that most regular people have a problem putting together the necessary aspects to pull off the beauty that they want to see in their room/house. Often times we will change one or two things and it will look like a mismatched mess or incomplete project. Do you have any advice for what could be minimally done, but must be done in combo, to actually achieve a look that looks complete? Thank you for your time.

    This is exactly what I needed. My sister and I live together and haven't done a thing to our living space and we need to. We both feel like we have so many ideas, but what should and can we actually do in our space. We also need to do this for our mental health too because looking at old walls with layers of white chipped paint on them and the trim and old cabinetry is depressing. We know the maintenance didn't do much to prepare for us moving. We can paint our walls and various upgrades so that is good for us. I was looking into the peel and stick wall and flooring already and your video just helped us with our decision thank you! What could I do for old cabinetry that we can't paint besides adding new knobs? Would the peel and stick work on the flat side of cabinetry you know the side of the cabinet without the door? I thought that maybe the cloth and cornstarch but that has maybe too much moisture in it. What do you suggest?

    • @JulieKhuu

    Love watching your Feng Shui videos. I am a young at heart retired widow. I sold my country home because it was more than I wanted to maintain. Then I found a cute little 2BR 2BA rental apt with an attached garage in a nice apartment complex. I’ve been here 5 years and still enjoy the apt but think a Feng Shui design pro could help me create a healthier flow with my furnishings. How do I find someone good near me?
