REALISTIC HOME DECOR VIDEO || STORAGE || BEST PRACTICES || 2024

hi guys and welcome back to my channel if you are new welcome my name is Hannah and on this channel we talk all things home decor home Aesthetics mixing high and low th old and in today's video it is a realistic home decor video so if this is something you are interested in watching just keep on watching all right if you are just clicking on this video I went to my community board to see if this would be a video that you guys would be interested in seeing now what I mean by realistic home decor video is I'm going to be diving deep into showing you how I store my items when they are not in use my home decor textiles stems these have been questions that have been Ono for what seems like years and I've never addressed it here on my channel and so I wanted to do something a little bit different because I think it's really important to share how it is that I store things that I'm not using and hopefully give you guys some better practices or tips and tricks that work for me to implement in your home when it comes to storing these items so in today's video that is what we are doing I'm taking you guys around my home I'm being 100% transparent and a little bit vulnerable as I am going to be sharing you guys the decor that I have in specific areas of my home I just want to just show you guys what works for me in my space and how it is that I store them so hopefully you guys enjoy today's video without further Ado let's go all right so the first place we are starting is in my kitchen I'm going to be sharing you guys where I have all of my candles and what I mean by candles these are going to be the candles that I burn throughout my house on a daily basis I do have a designated cabinet for candles so let's get into it welcome to my cabinet in which I keep all of my candles so you guys will see the bottom shelf are candles that are my everyday candles that I switch up periodically they are half burned more of my decorative candles and then I also did a kit I bought a kit about 2 years ago where I actually made my own candles I bought all of these glass containers I then poured the waxed use some essential oils and then put some really fun dried preserved flowers on the top I have these as a grab and go for gifts so maybe I'm running out the door and I need something for a hostess gift that is all of this stack of candles here now there's also candles that we get as gifts let's be honest you guys I have gotten plenty of candles as gifts that maybe just don't fit my scent maybe it's a smell that is beautiful but it's not something that I would typically burn in my home I will use this area as a way for regifting stuff like that as well so reift candles and also everyday candles moving up these are all candles for seasonal so you guys will see these are all half bured candles from Christmas half bured candles from Fall time so I will you know use these candles for this coming season to use them get their entire use out of and then purchase new ones so we have everyday candles and then candles from Seasons pumpkin Douglas fur that type of stuff that are half bured that will be used for this I will also use this cabinet as a way to house the little dish soaps and stuff that I use for styling my candle so that way everything is organized and it's kind of a One-Stop shop I will also have matches and that type of thing down here as well all right so we are moving on to the first area of my home in which I have most of my decor items this is the sideboard that you guys see in all of my videos this is a destination where I keep a lot of these smaller decor items within my home space so I'm gon to break it up into two sections and show you guys how I have it order starting with the left side of my sideboard this is what this section looks like so I have a variety of coffee table books lowprofile bowls and some accessories down below starting on the left hand side this is where I keep all of the books that I'm not using throughout my home I will have all of them stacked here and upright I will also have all of the covers so sometimes I will remove sleeves off the covers of books sometimes I just like the way the natural book looks sometimes I don't like the imagery on the covers of these so I will keep these here just in case I want to put them back on for any reason so again left hand side is all coffee table books that aren't being used with the sleeves that are being used as well all right second part is bowls these are all low profile bowls and what I have felt that has worked the best when it comes to Decor is to try to stack as many of the same like items Within in one another to help free up space so if you can stack multiple bowls or multiple things within one another I definitely recommend doing that that way it takes up less square footage if you are slim for space when it comes to housing your Decor item this is very challenging to report just so you guys know so there's a lot of stuff that I have that is miscellaneous for example I have pine cones from Christmas I have dried apple slices for fall I have dried artichokes like these kind of miscellaneous items I have in Ziploc bags to not only keep them all contained but then I will have them all together so if I'm looking for a bowl filler for example I know where to go again I use Ziploc bags for all this kind of miscellaneous Bowl filler type items so these will be your best friend last Decor on this Le hand side of my sideboard these are some of my more bowls so you can guys see that I have bowls stacked inside of bowls left- hand side are more bowls these are obviously the big bowls stacked inside of each other and then on the right hand side these are just all of my miscellaneous bagged type items for bll filler right hand side this is definitely more of a miscellaneous cabinet starting with the bottom left these are going to be more bundles so I have like my German status things that aren't stems but more so a bundle this is where I house them is it the best practice no but these are kind of the stems that I grab on a more I guess more frequent basis instead of the ones that are more specialty so again bottom left are bundles this is just random Decor I have some closes in here I have a vase that is a little bit taller that needs more space for storage and then on the right hand side this is place mats coasters and towels for when we do have family dinners here at the dining table to the right hand side oversized large tray again sometimes the items that I have are too big to fit in the other side board that I have which you guys will see here shortly so this is kind of my backup area if that happens so again miss anous cabinet for some other degree one of my most asked questions is how do I store the stems that I'm not using on a daily basis so I'm actually going to be inserting some footage from about two years ago I look incredibly different this is past Hannah because I already have talked about this topic on my channel so I'm just going to be inserting that now for you guys but this is the closet in which I keep all of those extra stems and the best practice in which I use to house them so enjoy this old foot Pur a oversized storage container I have it in a longer version so you can get a shorter one it's more for like wrapping paper they do make those where they're on Wheels so if you want to store underneath the bed that is a great way to do it as well if you're shopping for a box make sure that it is longer to fit the stems that have a longer stem on them so I have it labeled spring and Greenery so I know what I have in that box and then I have one for more of the falltime stems as well I have it stored in our Under the Staircase closet up above now when I store the stems I zip tie them in a bundle that way I have all the stems in one bundle that way I know how many I have and then I will alternate the stems when I'm laying them within the box that way they're not topheavy on one side and that just seems to be the best way that I store my stems on a daily basis they're in a very accessible area I can just take it down I can swap it out again zip tie all of my builds together so that way they are nice and organized but yeah and that is how I store my St welcome to my laundry room this is an area that you guys rarely ever see but I mean there's really nothing to share in here but I am going to be sharing how it is that I store my textiles pillows extra pillows and blankets I'm going to take you guys around the corner to show how it is that I store these items because as we know they are very bulky so let's go all right welcome to my linen closet there's nothing really beautiful about this area but we're going to start with the pillow covers I kind of came up with this system I used a shower curtain rod which you guys will see I'll do some close-ups and then I purchased a bunch of these clipped hangers to help me house some of my pillow covers when I'm not using them so you guys will see I have these little clipped hangers all of the pillow covers that are not currently in use are going to hang on that rod and then obviously I have them organized by color to help me I do need to get more of these hangers because I have an entire stack of covers to the right of this but this helps me keep organized this helps with bulkiness I really don't have a lot of extra pillows what you guys are seeing is what I have as far as extras go and then obviously I can flip these out change out the cover easily so when it comes to purchasing pillows I've almost eliminated that completely I will only buy covers now just for this reason I just don't have enough space to store that many extra pillows so again having a shower curtain rod or something in which you can hang your pillow covers from on a hanger will help with the space aspect all right to the right these are all seasonal pillows so I have Valentine's Day pillows Halloween Christmas these are for my kids bedrooms every single holiday we typically will change out their sheets and kind of throw a really fun decorative seasonal pillow on there so that is this space you guys will see I have some throw blankets these are more lightweight spring summertime blankets kind of organized by color then you obviously have the pillows that are hanging and then the pillows directly underneath that have the inserts in there we have all of our cleaning supplies down below and then I don't know if you guys can see this but these are our bed sheets that I have these really fun organizing uh bands so they have like king queen twin it helps me stay organized for our bed sheets or any of the bedding that I need to have a little bit more you know nicely tucked nicely folded away I'll make sure to do a close-up of those but yeah this is the linen closet this is what works for me and how I've been able to keep things organized up top we have more of the bigger I have like my fur blanket for Christmas some of these thicker type comforters that I'm not using is it perfect no but again this is how I uh keep our linen closet organized welcome to my home office this is the sideboard in which I keep a lot more of my Decor which we are going to dive deep in but while we're here I want to get your guys' opinion on something if you not familiar with this area I used to have two different mirrors lining this sideboard it was really pretty they're actually over here on the ground I have one right there against the window and then I also have one over here against the wall do we like this print here or should I keep it the mirrors I recently bought this beautiful Appaloosa picture when I was on vacation in Arizona and I just think it's so pretty but I'm kind of on the fence if I want it here or if I should change it so let me know Down Below in the comments another thing for realistic video here is my home printer a lot of you guys are like where's all of your like office stuff we keep it up here that way it's not advertised down blow in my husband's this is Bluetooth so we can really print from anywhere in the house and it's going to be fed up here so that way you guys can see that a realistic office does have printers it does have you know other items it has cords you guys can see my cords down here by my desk I have cords hanging off the back of it for editing purposes but here is my home office now let's show you guys the decor within this side okay welcome to the first side of my sideboard here welcome to Hannah date Decor so up top I have all of my primitive type pieces so I have it organized by wood for the most part this is paper mé so kind of more of my vintagey type items I will have within this first shelf bottom shelf these are going to be all of my extra vases smaller vases obviously taller ones are a little bit more of a hit Miss but honestly for the most part my taller vases and vessels are always being used I have plenty of space for them to go their areas it's these smaller vases that I need to have a spot to go welcome to the last portion of my home decor so on the top shelf these are going to be candlestick holders snuffers you guys can see I have my little match Clos collection over here miscellaneous beads that I have in bowls so I'm not only utilizing the decor within other Decor elements for housing purposes obviously stacking things on top of other things so I just try to utilize as much space as I can when it comes to having these type items on the bottom I have these are you know random prints that I have that I place in and out of picture frames I also have glass from an easel there and then these are just kind of random decorative items like spheres change my vintage Bells I have all of the kind of wood smaller items here to the right which I will do some close-ups of again I try to keep things as organized as possible and try to have it where I know exactly where to go if I'm looking for a specific item but I honestly did a huge deep clean this this last couple months during the springtime to just get rid of things I'm not utilizing a lot of decor items from Target and those kind of big box brand items and I'm really trying to be a little bit more intentional when it comes to my Decor only buying things that I really love buying things that maybe are a little bit more unique maybe they are a higher price point but you're not seeing them all over again that's when that whole intentional purchasing comes into play and I've been really happy with the decor that I do have for those of you who are wanting to sell your it items I definitely recommend either Facebook Marketplace or offer up when it comes to giving Decor a second chance at life allowing someone else to enjoy it if maybe that time with you has come to an end all right another question that I get more frequently than not is how do I store the pillows when we are sleeping where do they go but I do want to be transparent the bedroom this bed making it is 100% on me my husband if he could have his way he'd have two pillows on there and be completely fine but this is something that brings me Joy I know a lot of people think maybe too many pills is excessive but I enjoy it I love having a really polished look when it comes to my bedroom I make my bed almost every single day because it brings me joy it is a great way for me to start my day off feeling organized feeling like the house is clean beds are made that is just something that I do so I do not expect anything from my husband when it comes to the pillows whatsoever but to answer you guys' question when we are ready to sleep all we do is we take off off our pillows and we put them on the side of our nightstand so you guys will see I have this extra little space here on the side of my nightstand I'll simply just have them stacked on the side of the bed like that all right and the last topic we're going to discuss for this realistic video is how do I have my rug on top of my carpet and it does not shift now what I'm going to tell you does it work absolutely do I recommend it absolutely not so learn from my mistakes I have my rug attached to my carpet with rug tape and now that rug tape is now embedded into my carpet this rug literally does not move anywhere it does not Bunch it does not wrinkle it does not shift at all which is amazing but it is now embedded into my carpet I'm going to definitely do a b-roll so you guys can see what I'm talking about the only reason why I am not bummed or upset about this is because this carpet we've had for about 5 years eventually it is going to need to be replaced but when we do replace that carpet we are going to be putting in hardwood floors for this bedroom we're going to be getting rid of the carpet entirely so I'm not that upset about it again does it work yes do I recommend it absolutely not but use it at your own risk if you want to uh attempt it like me and have that rug not shift if you are on carpet go for it but I'm letting you know it's definitely going to stick all right you guys and that is it for today's video I hope you enjoyed the change of pace here on my channel hopefully you know showing how I store my items gives you a little bit of insight on ways to maybe store your own home decor items that aren't being in use for your own space and so hopefully you guys enjoy but until the next video I love you guys so much thank you for being here I'll see you guys then peace
