You get home from work and put your feet up on your favorite navy blue couch and pick up a book from a side table you purchased just last weekend from a store you'd always admired. The cream curtains framing your living room windows make you feel comforted, and the side table makes you smile.
Our homes offer us a lot more than we realise — a sanctuary, a space to be our real selves, and a haven in which we can make lasting memories with the people we love. They also have an impact on our state of mind, moods, and productivity, according to Mondoro. With the pandemic, our living spaces changed to include work nooks that lived in quiet balance with the rest of our homes. Spending time decorating your home — whether it's with the color of your walls, lighting, furniture, or layout — is an investment into your identity, per The Turquoise Home.
In her book "The Perfectly Imperfect Home: How to Decorate and Live Well," author Deborah Needleman explains, "The point of decorating, as far as I can tell, is to create the background for the best life you can have" (via Fresh Scents). If this describes you, and the thought of decorating your home thrills you, you're going to want to make sure you're following these YouTube channels for design inspiration.
For a touch of modern to transform the traditional, follow Studio McGee
With a desire to make aspirational home decorating projects more accessible to people, husband and wife duo Syd and Shea McGee have garnered a lot of followers for their YouTube channel Studio McGee since they launched in 2014. By sharing inspiration from their own home makeovers, featuring home tours, and offering glimpses into how they blend modern elements into their more traditional projects as a design studio, the McGees have found a way to become memorable in the interior decorating space of YouTube, per Nook And Find.
The channel was born because of the great response Shea got when she documented the remodel of their own home on instagram, per Studio McGee. Now, they even have their own Netflix show titled "Dream Home Makeover."
