>> Tati: YOU EVER ALL BEEN
WATCHING ME WORKING FROM HOME
FOR MONTHS NOW, AND NO DOUBT
HAVE CHECKED OUT THE ITEMS
BEHIND ME HERE ON MY SHELF.
SO EVERYBODY WHO IS VIDEO
CONFERENCING, FRIENDS AND
FAMILY, HAVE PROBABLY DONE THE
SAME THING.
YOU TSZUJ UP YOUR BACKGROUND TO
MAKE IT INTERESTING.
AND JON JORDAN HAS RECEIVED A
LOT OF QUESTIONS ASKING HOW TO
CREATE A CREATIVE SETUP ON THEIR
SHELVES.
HOW ARE YOU?
>> I’M GOOD, HOW ARE YOU.
>> Tati: YOUR BACKGROUND IS
LOOKING FABULOUS.
AND YOU ORGANIZE IT INTO FOUR
THEMES.
FIRST CONSIDER COLOR IN NEW
WAYS.
>> AND THIS IS SOMETHING YOU
UNDERSTAND BECAUSE I CAN SEE
THAT YOU EMBRACE COLOR IN YOUR
BACKGROUND, AND IT’S REALLY
IMPORTANT BECAUSE IF YOU ARE IN
A MEETING, YOU KNOW, LIKE ON
ZOOM, YOU DON’T WANNA BE JUST
SORT OF A NEUTRAL FACE WITH A
NEUTRAL BACKGROUND, YOU WANT TO STAND OUT.
STAND OUT.
SO COLOR IS IMPORTANT.
AND YOU CAN GROUP IT ACCORDING
TO BOOKS.
I LOVE TO PUT, YOU KNOW, THE SAME COLOR BOOK TOGETHER.
SAME COLOR BOOK TOGETHER.
YOU KNOW, IT LOOKS VERY EDITED
THAT WAY.
BUT IT’S ALSO A GREAT WAY TO
JUST GET COLOR INTO A ROOM
WITHOUT HAVING TO COMMIT TO
BUYING AN ORANGE SOFA.
>> Tati: RIGHT.
[LAUGHTER]
>> THAT MIGHT GET A LITTLE OLD.
>> Tati: IT’S TEMPTING WHEN YOU
SEE THE BIG POP OF COLOR OR
SOMETHING, BUT IT’S A BIG
COMMITMENT TO MAKE, SO THAT’S
RIGHT REALLY SMART.
LET’S TALK ABOUT HOW YOU SUGGEST
GROUPING DIFFERENT AND SIMILAR
ITEMS TOGETHER.
EXPLAIN THAT. >> RIGHT OVER HERE, YOU CAN SEE
>> RIGHT OVER HERE, YOU CAN SEE
THAT THIS IS JUST MY LITTLE
COLLECTION OF, AS JASON WAS
TALKING ABOUT RESALE,
CANDLEHOLDERS.
AND THEY ARE LIKE A DOLLAR OR
SOMETHING.
BUT WHEN YOU PUT THEM TOGETHER,
IT REALLY DOES LOOK KIND OF
ELEVATED AS WELL AS EDITED.
ANOTHER THING HERE, JUST SORT OF
GROUP WOODEN OBJECTS.
THERE’S A VASE HERE AND ANOTHER
CANDLE HOLDER.
BEHIND THERE, THAT’S A KNIFE
HOLDER AND I THINK IT LOOKS LIKE
COOL MODERN ART.
SO YOU HAVE TO THINK OUT OF THE
BOX.
>> Tati: YOU CAN TURN ALMOST
ANYTHING INTO A STATEMENT PIECE
IF YOU THINK OUTSIDE OF THE BOX.
ARE YOU SAYING THAT A DESIGNER
TRICK IS TO ALSO MAKE CHAOS LOOK
COLLABORATIVE.
WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY THAT?
>> SO, LOTS OF PEOPLE’S SHELVES
ARE THE THINGS THAT YOU NEED.
BUT I PUT THINGS THAT I NEED SO
THAT IT DOESN’T LOOK MESSY IN
BOXES.
THERE’S A WINE BOX HERE, AND MY
SHINOLA WATCH BOX, AND I PUT
THINGS IN THERE SO THAT THE
THINGS THAT I DO NEED LIKE IF
IT’S A ROLL OF TAPE OR A MAGIC
MARKER OR WHATEVER, IT GIVES YOU
OBJECTS THAT ARE FUNCTIONAL.
>> Tati: HMM... SO YOU HAVE
EVERYTHING YOU NEED BUT IT’S
NEATLY TUCKED AWAY.
>> RIGHT, IN THE WINE BOX, YOU
CAN PUT THE WINE IN THERE IF YOU
NEED IT READILY ACCESSIBLE.
>> Tati: HAVE YOU BEEN OVER
HERE?
I’M JUST KIDDING.
[LAUGHTER]
AND YOU LIKE LAYERING ART AND
PHOTOS.
CAN YOU SHOW US SOME EXAMPLES OF
THAT.
>> PEOPLE THINK YOU HAVE A PIECE
OF ART AND YOU PUT IT ON A WALL.
BUT YOU CAN PUT IT ON A SHELF.
THIS IS AN EXAMPLE HERE.
TAKE A SMALLER PIECE OF ART AND
YOU CAN TUCK IT INTO A SHELF.
WHAT IT WILL DO, ESPECIALLY IF
THERE’S SORT OF -- IF IT’S DARK
AND THERE ARE SHADOWS, IT WILL
HIGHLIGHT OBJECTS THAT YOU PUT
IN FRONT OF IT.
YOU CAN DO EVERYTHING FROM LIKE,
YOU KNOW, A PHOTO.
MY SON AARON TOOK THAT.
AND ANOTHER GREAT SOURCE OF ART
IS OLD CALENDARS.
THIS IS JUST COOL PATTERN AFTER
COOL PATTERN.
AND YOU CAN FIND -- YOU CAN MAKE
ART OUT OF ANYTHING.
THAT’S A GREETING CARD.
SO YOU NEED TO LITERALLY THINK
OUT OF THE BOX AND TAKE THAT
CREATIVITY FROM THE BOX TO YOUR
SHELF.
>> Tati: I LOVE IT.
JON, THANK YOU SO MUCH.
I’VE GOT SOME FAUX POTTED
FLOWERS OVER HERE, I EVEN HAVE A
CACTUS.
CAPTAIN KILL THIS.
>> I LIKE ALL THE ART.
YOU’VE COMPOSED NOT ONLY
YOURSELF BUT YOUR BACKGROUND
VERY WELL.
A-PLUS.
>> Tati: THANK YOU, THANK YOU.
I HAVE ARRIVED PEOPLE.
I’VE GOT THE JON JORDAN SEAL OF
APPROVAL.
THANK YOU SO MUCH, JON.
>> THANKS, TATI.
>> Tati: AND YOU CAN GET MORE OF
JON’S GREAT IDEAS ON HIS
STYLEWISE CHANNEL ON YOUTUBE
FROM SKIN CARE TO HAIR CARE,
MAKEUP ADVICE AND MORE.
IT’S ALL THERE.
