I passed interior designer course in 2021 but I designed my small flat in 2017, and i realised that I did everything correct - everything you said in this video! Watching your and other designers videos, buying interior design books helped me with decorating/redecorating my space with fresh and modern things. It makes me happy to see that without second renovation, just with adding and changing decor, my flat became from colorful ikea based, to a calming cozy minimalistic space with having more "me" in it . Thank you for an inspiration and really high quality videos. I remember and miss your redesigning videos of small flats they were so aesthetic!😊I know that every year a home can change, so it would be lovely to see your home tour😊Wish you success in your life!

Traditional Japanese furniture is low bc they used to sit on the floor. Most of the design features are set to eye level height and easily reached while sitting. Including the light switches.

This is the best interior design channel after searching the YouTube for a few weeks. The principle and information is well scripted. The presentation slides are high quality photographs / videos.

This is brilliant! I've been struggling with my small apartment, and using vertical space is such a game-changer I never really considered. Thanks for the practical tips!

As I have always lived in older smaller homes I have followed so many of these precepts! One more design technique that seems to go in and out of fashion yet works with the guidelines you've presented is "accent walls". Bold(er) color or wall paper on one wall to draw the eye, liven the space, present the color palette without an overload of color, repeats, and darkening of the room - especially when it's the far wall from the doorway you'd be seeing it from while the windows in that far wall are still bouncing light on lighter colored walls. I know that your aesthetic is more neutral and serene, but I still like color without the chaos. Thanks for a great video!

The most important part is of course not to hoard clutter in the space 😊

I feel like this content should treated like a mass-distributed pamphlet handed out (and helping) so many people. The world would be better for it. Haha. Start sharing ppl.

I would love if you had advice on what to do with a front door that leads directly in the main room. How to create a separate space to put on boots in snowy winter, for example, but without closing up the space entirely. Thank you!
