- That would make me less mad about traffic.
Welcome, Bobby. - Thank, thank you.
- Thanks so much for being here.
Bobby is the interior designer extraordinaire
on Netflix hit show Queer Eye.
Today, we have some audience questions
on how to make their spaces better.
- Thanks for sending these in, guys.
I won't be too harsh.
- Hello, my name is Abby.
I am in my craft room right now.
- I would love help making my craft room
feel more creative and inspiring.
What I would recommend is paint something cool on the wall.
If you're not a good painter, do a geometric.
You know, squares, circles, triangles,
those are always very easy.
Doing cool, bright colors,
I think that would definitely make it feel more inspiring
and more of a creative space. - I like that!
- Hi, guys.
My name's Rebecca.
- This random room in our house
has a fabulous view of our backyard,
but nothing we do with it sticks.
Now it's just extra space for our new baby stuff.
It also opens up to our backyard where we let the dog out.
So, bedroom is not the best option.
If it has space for the outdoors,
definitely make it a space
where you can appreciate the view of the outdoors.
Put a nice little sofa or chair,
make it a little reading room maybe.
- Add a little bar cart. - Yeah, definitely
for a nice little martini in the afternoon and a good read.
- My husband and I just moved into our own place
and it's a basement.
- And I would like some tips on making it feel more homey,
less 70s, and not feel as dark.
I actually like the room.
I think it looks groovy,
but if you're wanting it to not feel so dark,
I would paint the walls white.
It will really open up the space.
Maybe keep the bar there, though,
so that way it adds a little bit of depth to it.
As Johnathan would say, meow!
- Hi, friends, I'm Natalie,
and my interior design question
is about maximizing the space I have in my kitchen
slash dining area that's all kind of one thing.
I would probably do mounted cabinets up on the upper walls
so that way you can still sit at the dining table,
but you have upper storage.
It'll actually make the room feel larger
'cause it'll draw your eye up.
- I live in a university residence.
All of our rooms look like ugly jail cells.
- Looking for ways to brighten my room
and make it feel like home.
My advice in dorms is removable wallpaper
because most dorms I know won't let you paint.
It's a good way to give it some personality,
make it feel more like home
without getting in trouble with the school.
- I wanna maximize my space
so I can have friends come over and visit.
- The problem is it's a micro-efficiency
measuring under 150 square feet, tiny.
- You can always have friends over, though.
- I would move the desk over a little more towards the bed
and it will double as a desk and a night stand,
and then under that window,
I would do a storage bench with a cushion on top.
And that way it adds storage in your small place,
but it also makes for basically a sofa over in the corner.
- I love that.
- My name is Bailey.
Thank you so much for taking the time
to listen to my sad decorating woes.
- I have always been bad at decorating
or knowing anything about how to make a house or a home.
The only thing I refuse to take down is my Irish flag,
but please, for the love of all that is holy, please help.
I would actually hang the flag over the bed,
kind of make it as a headboard.
Get some bedding that coordinates with the flag.
If you're gonna go for it, go for it.
Make it a theme. - Go full Irish.
- A good old Irish theme.
- Yeah, I feel like every time I get new bedding,
it makes me just feel happier and refreshed.
- Bedding is something you should splurge on.
You wanna wake up feelin' happy.
You wanna go to bed feeling happy.
Spend a little extra money on good bedding.
Don't be fooled by the whole thread count thing,
it's not real. - Really?
- It's an American marketing ploy.
(gasps) - If it feels good, it's good.
If it doesn't feel nice,
no matter how many thread count or how expensive it is,
it's not nice.
- So, that's it.
Thank you so much
for stopping by. - Of course, no, it was fun.
