For my dull box, I get a lot of inspiration from Korean interior design which I would describe as cozy/effortless maximalism but still pretty oriented to white walls and modern finishes. I appreciate that this design style pays attention to the details and respects the scale of the small modern condo. So much furniture in the west is extra large. I have a hard time finding the smaller sized pieces that will really fit into my place.

Hi Paige. I can't tell you how glad i am i found your youtube channel. I was always very into interior design but since i follow your advice, i FINALLY (after 4 years of trying) like how my place looks. This year i made the mistake to invest in 6 posters from desenio because i thought: well it's fine if i just don't buy boring ones everyone has in their home. I payed 100€ which is very much for me because i am a poor student. But i began hating them just 2 months into having them. Same with almost everything i bought, i was redecorating every 2-3 months because i never actually liked something and didn't know why because i've put sooo much time and effort in choosing the right stuff. The problem was i bought cheap looking stuff, i even thrifted sooo much just cheap mass produced stuff. I just bought whatever i thought fit the right aesthetic but not what i actually like and means something to me. Watching your videos really trained my eye. I am finally free from my old bad habits and stopped buying stuff i actually didn't want! I got rid of my posters and painted myself and nothing looks cheap or instagrammy anymore. You wouldn't believe how thankful i am

I recommended to a couple renting out a unit that instead of grey, which can be too cool and depressing, they consider painting an apartment white or off white and LETTING THE TENANTS PAINT. Imagine that!

Hope to see more content like this on top of the other great stuff you're putting out.

@Timmakesmusic

Some of my furniture is IKEA, largely because I can't afford to replace it. I don't know what Paige would recommend, but there are things you can do, depending on your style and which kind of IKEA furniture you have. My style leans towards English country/Arts and Crafts/Art Nouveau. The IKEA pieces I have are mostly from their 'Hemnes' range and have a good amount of real wood. For my bookcases, I painted them in a warm white. I also removed the plasticy looking fibreboard backs and replaced them with some cheap pine beadboard cladding strips which I stained in a warm oak colour. They hold some of my books as well as vintage items from family or local junk shops. I've also got a large chest of drawers which I repainted in a warm ochre chalk paint. I replaced the knobs with some white patterned ceramic ones. The top of the unit was solid pine so I sanded it down to remove the finish and expose the wood grain before painting it with a clear varnish. I actually sold some of my other IKEA items online and put the money towards some thrifted vintage pieces which I mix in with my remaining IKEA items. If it suits your style, the brush strokes and imperfections in the paint finish take off that 'mass produced' edge that a lot of IKEA products have. Painting or replacing any fake-looking particle board makes a huge difference, as does swapping out the generic IKEA hardware. There are other things you can do too, depending on your style, the pieces you have and the DIY tools and skills you have. I've seen people do interesting things with fluting, woven rattan and funky coloured paints.

Regarding making smaller spaces- my new house has a big long livingroom 13 x 24’ with a fireplace centered on the long wall. I split it into 3 sections- the center section by the fireplace has an 8 x 10 rug a big couch at right angle to the fireplace wall, coffee table, two chairs facing the couch. So that is the conversation area in the center. Behind the couch, against the end wall is a gate-leg table and two chairs, and some shelves containing board games, against the long wall. So that is a board games area (big enough for extra chairs around the table if needed). Behind the chairs that face the couch is a large hutch with radio/CD player. Also a reading chair, low marble table, and a bookcase. A library chair/ladder which can be moved to other areas as needed. So that is the reading nook. The area next to the long wall opposite the fireplace is open- no furniture, to allow passage between the 3 areas and also between the entrances in and out of the room.
