The thing is… You can’t change your entire style every year when something goes out of style- not
realistic. If you like it, you like it… Not trying to keep up with the Jones’.
This is what I say, too…screw a trend, just make sure YOU ❤️ it!!!
Exactly, this is not like changing clothes.
Exactly....
My thoughts exactly! No shade against HOV, but the industry is trying to make sure we continue to spend money.
@@deannamoss1995 Pure, unadulterated TRUTH!!!
Every year design trend folks say that “boho” is out and something else that is EXACTLY like boho is in-“elevated boho,” “modern boho,” “scandiboho”, “nomad”, etc. Just embrace it. Boho is here to stay and there’s a lot more variation, micro trends, and lifestyles encompassed within the boho umbrella than the design world wants to give it credit for.
So true. I’ve redecorated my space from relaxed Mediterranean with what I call ‘zoho’, a zen version of boho. Huge difference, but I love it.
Thank you for this explanation. I was feeling this way too.
@@SeaTurtle515 ooh I would love to see what that looks like!
I've added some boho touches but some of it reminds me of 70's college apartments.
@@TheDiana09v Yes, it would be fun to see what other viewers have done with their spaces.
This is why I don't pay attention to trends and just do what I like.
Amen!! Me tooo! I have a beautiful home, for ME. Its very Italian.
@@lindav1189 Sounds wonderful! I've decided my style is Terre Haute Indiana meets South East Asia. (We inherited pieces from both sides of the family and tried to put them together.)
Amen
You are right,, simple people who live simple house even hiw they are rich its probaly happy and contented in his life,,its 100% they have a peaceful mind
Why are all of us anti-trend people watching this video?
My house is completely out of trend. I love dark woods like walnut and antiqued oak, I like comfortable furniture like rolled arm sofas, traditional designs. I'm a maximalist, art collector and fan of global culture.
It’s really about what you like I would say. YOU have to live there with your things! Sounds like your space is pretty cute to me 🙂
I love rolled arm sofas too. I need to replace one of mine and I'm struggling with picking something out that's more trendy vs that fits in with what we already have.
I’m also a maximalist and I love what I love. Who cares about trends? That’s how people end up walking the street all dressed the same or buying the same stuff for their house. I remember the “ must have a ( random) feature wall” trend 🙄. No disrespect but in this video they are also telling you to drop a trend for another 🤷🏽♀️ Your home is your nest and should be functional, beautiful, comfortable and personal.
As long as your vision is clear and purposeful it will look good.
Maximalist over here too 🤷🏽♀️ I love every bit of my stuff too 💕💕💕
Blond wood is not leaving, from the entire Scandinavia...
Lol 🤣
Yeah, exactly! Hi from Iceland 🇮🇸
👏👏👏 yes!
Never have I ever been a blonde wood fan. It's great in other people's spaces.
I love Serena and Lily’s blond wood furniture
What I agree with is that everyone should do what feels comfortable for them. What ever makes us feel happy to be home is what we should have in our homes.
AMEN!!!
This is your home and surround yourself with what you like and feel good and which give you positive energy..🌞
Sculptural furniture is like the waiting room at the pediatric dentist’s office or the Montessori pre-school.
That's a good point, LOL. I think this is why even though I'm a female, I tend to like the decor and design set-ups more-so over at r/malelivingspace than I do at r/femalelivingspace
Men seem to use more clean cuts, clean lines.
Staying classic in design, I think,you can never lose in investing and making it your own... living in a trendy world, is temporary!
❤
It can be a lot of fun but it can be tiresome too!
@@HouseofValentina 👌🏻
I think finding your true style really dictates everything then trends don’t really phase you at all!! Thanks for another great video!
yes!!
True, then you adapt anything trendy to your natural style
Yes 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
@@katarinawikholm5873 totally! Funnily enough being a minimalist myself I gravitate towards the minimalist design style of Japandi so that works out!!
@@NAZDIK :)
I really want them to dig up the "timeless trends" of past decades and really see if they stood up to the test of design time...
And the opposite...see which trends they predicted would die that actually lasted
Rattan definitely timeless trends
Orange laminate and shag carpet!
That would be wonderful timeless trends
aka: "all things old are new again", or "there is nothing new under the sun"; just follow the $ who have a keen interest in you spending your money to follow their "advice".
I think everyone forgot why we went open concept. When we had a gathering someone got isolated in the kitchen while everyone else enjoyed the party. We took down that wall so everyone could be together and no one got stuck with all of the work because it was so easy to include someone who looked bored in the prep, solving multiple problems at once. We just haven't been able to party lately.
Yeah I think open kitchen/living rooms are here to stay. It’s only other open spaces that might get chopped up.
I like kitchens with like one wall adding some privacy and some open space. I don't know how to explain it, but Imm sure others know what I'm talking about
I think open kitchens/living is here to stay. I don't think the cook wants to go back into seclusion.
We are about to gut and redo our kitchen and the wall separating it from the dining room is coming down 🎉🎉🎉, we are having a peninsula put in so that your guests are not underfoot but you can still socialise with them. Then we just need the pandemic to go away so we can have guests.
Yes. I remember and agree. I hated being "banished" to the kitchen while we had guests over and missing out of adult conversations
Speaking of making decisions that will last you 10, 15, or 20 years, I would LOVE to see y’all discuss universal design.
If you aren’t familiar with it, the idea is that buildings constructed to be easily navigable for people with physical disabilities make them more accessible to all humans.
A few examples: wider doors for people in wheelchairs make it easier for people with strollers to get in the house, no step/wheel-in showers with a seated bench built in make it easier to shave legs, and reach down/pull down cabinets for use by wheelchair users make it easier for children or adults who are short to easily access all cabinet space.
Even if you’re able-bodied, making decisions now about furniture, decor, and structural components that follow universal design will make it easier to age in place.
There are a ton of benefits to designing spaces with universal design, but there are some practical difficulties, too. For example, installing sinks with roll-under space means there’s no storage space below.
I’ve been heavily researching universal design for a home build, and while there’s a lot of information available, there aren’t many updated examples or interior designs to pull from. I really feel like you would kill it if you made a video discussing some of the common elements of universal design and your suggestions on how to make the space both visually pleasing and feel like a home rather than a purely functional house.
I am really interested in this too. Hopefully, they'll pick up the idea and make a video about it.
i was thinking the same thing the other day, as Baby Boomers are still such a large demographic, and as a nurse...some of the thicker, newer wood-look planks are gorgeous AND non-slip AND water-proof, for example, as opposed the cheap and tacky and short-lived. My MIL got shorter as she aged, could no longer reach the coffee mugs...adjustable shelving definitely, pull-down shelves even better.
That sounds so great for pregnant people too.
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
This! The age thing and homes with bedrooms all on the top floor... my husband wants to be on the second story because that's where his room was as a kid... I got pregnant and I get it now with the sheer amount of balance issues and ligament pain I had. Lol, and talking to my MIL telling her I wang the master on the first floor, she's saying she's been thinking about that recently and it's something you don't always think of when you're younger.
It confuses me a lot, shocking trends to avoids but what you've shown was a lot of wonderful and gorgeous items and trends.
The title of this video sucks; it seems like click bait. Doesn't deliver on the "SHOCKING TRENDS".
Exactly
Exactly! Glad others see it as well! Alot of free thinkers on this thread!!
I have always hated open concept living, even when I was a kid but especially once I was an adult who was solely responsible for cleaning up every inch of my own place. I like having friends over for game night without having to clean every inch of my kitchen. I like my furniture to be up against a wall. I like having outlets in places without extension cords all over the place.
never liked 'open' either. gimme rooms.
Completely agree. If one spot is messy…your whole house is messy if it’s open…
Same. Some openess is ok (maybe...ish) like a family room and kitchen if you have a separate living room and dinning room area. But people go overboard....like why is all that open space necessary?
What if a burglar comes? What if u wan to get away? What if u have guests that u don't want to see u?
I love it...and I have walls. Great for kids
Preach it! I now live in a house designed this way, and unless I develop a condition that precludes me from living alone, this is my forever home.
Wicker and Rattan are timeless when done right especially for porches and outdoor spaces, or for items like baskets and storage when used in a controlled fashion. However, Rattan and Wicker EVERYWHERE or as main space or bedroom furniture should be reserved for that vacation cottage in the Caribbean or some other tropical spot.
No wicker ever. How can you clean all those crevices?
Living in the Redwoods I love my wicker rattan :)
@@YSLRD With a soft brush vacuum attachment, just fyi. It's not hard.
I personally love rattan's small scale. For those of us with smaller homes, a piece here or there is easier to fit in.
Growing up in Nigeria and then moving to America, I've never been a fan of the open space concept. We are wall ppl in Nigeria. I live in an apartment now and I don't like that whatever I cook ends up in the living room. It doesn't matter how fantastic it smells, it's cloying. I hope I can build my own house here and not have to buy so I can put up walls. I like the privacy walls provide.
As an American myself, I never like how open some concepts are too. Personally like to do my thing without someone interrupting by making noises when there should have been a wall for privacy. And I'm sad there's no formal dinning space involved in homes these days as I hate looking at the messy dishes eating a few feet away.
@@kate2create738 I don't like that dish thing too 😂😂😂 . If I'm in the dining room, can there not be a sink staring right back at me unless I'm actually sitting at the kitchen island?
Walls are easy to add to an open concept layout.
I agree, open concept private no privacy, and plenty of noise. I think it's nice to have a separate tv room.
We used to find it sad that people had to cook in their living rooms -- that was called an "efficiency" not a mansion . . .not to mention the underground garage noise, the total lack of privacy, etc.
Nope. Nope. Nope. I LOVE my white oak floors (w/ clear stain) that we put in a few years ago when the trend was ALL dark wood floors. I'm a girl who thrives in "light & bright." To me, the floors are timeless and almost a blank slate that I can take anywhere with decor. We are planning a move and the only thing that I want to take with me is that floor (it is SO beautiful!). It always looks clean and shows the variance of grain in the wood beautifully. The great thing about a quality wood floor, tho, is that you can always have it refinished fairly economically. Love ya, Valentina...but you hit a nerve with me. 😉 LOL! 😊 #MuchRespect #JustHadToStickUp4MyWhiteOakFloors 🤣
Agree BIG time! Also light flooring doesn't show dust the way dark does :)
White is different than blonde. I love the white wood floors. They are timeless. And beautiful.
@@alisade127 Thanks, Alisa! To tell you the truth I wasn't quite sure what V. meant by "blonde." Ours are white oak with a clear finish. They aren't really "pure white" per se, because that would require a white stain (as I understand it). But to "me" they are timeless and beautiful and bright. You are kind to comment. :)
It all depends on your place/room and the windows/light/purpose etc. - you can't have one size fits all. Most importantly as you say it depends on what you like. I love white stained wood floors in some rooms & places; dark in others. Age of the home, location, lifestyle etc. etc. all matter as well. Agree just do what you like, that way you'll be happy with it regardless!
@@karynwith-a-y6686 that is what I was going to say. Lol. Dark hard floors are masochistic. Lol.
I'm finally in a position where I can please myself in how I decorate, and you guys have dissed all of my dreams. I really hope everyone takes your advise so I can grab it all second hand. Cheers from Australia.
I just scored a second hand Stickley sofa ($3000 US) for $125. Perfect pristine condition. Okay it wasn’t white but a color that is perfect.
@@marylhere good job, even though I don't know what it is. Cheers from Australia.
@@judymiller975 Stickley is a company based in upstate NY that is most famous for its Mission Oak (Morris chair)furniture. Their upholstered pieces are very expensive....usually leather. The sofa I got is gasp paprika in color. So far from white. Second hand is always better than what I can truly afford. If there is such a thing as a $125 sofa new it’s garbage.
@@marylhere awe thanks, I will look it up. The colour sounds like earthy tones and a nice splash of colour sounds fine to me. I paint and I love the siennas, ochres and umbers. Cheers
Listen Judy .imoved I Tomy house 22 years ago .idid an interior design course.the best advice iwas given was to decorate your home Asif youand your family are the only ones going to see it.Ie do what you love .! Works for me anyway.💕
They say all of this while standing in front of a fiddle fig and a black wall.
Loving those plants!
haha! yes!
What's with that black wall
😂
Wall looks charcoal grey to me. It’s also a trend!
'Visual fatigue'....I like this, instead of saying something is out.
My visual fatigue is having one piece of furniture too many in 2 of my rooms. No place to put them aside. On top o that, I;m apparently a plant hoarder...oops!
I love this too and will remember to use it rather than I’m fed up with seeing that now etc. I will be using it a lot!
Clever...there’s always a diplomatic way. 👍
Yeah is a good way to say it. And despite all the denial comments around, subway tiles ARE creating visual fatigue
Trends to follow: literally anything that calls to you. If you love it. Get it!!
Astoria...I say, if it makes your heart sing, it is for you. It is like a romantic love, when you feel it you know it! That's the one for me! The art in your home as well as your other furnishings should speak to you in that way! You may change some things but those great loves age well!!
Better subway tile then some trendy tiny tiles that look so bad 3 years later.
Or the glass backsplash that is being ripped out across the country.
Yes! They are freaking horrible to clean too.
Why do we need any kind of tile? I have no tile in my kitchen and just clean with the sponge my walls, just as easy and much better looking.
@@lesfleurs9781 oh that's definitely against the "rules." 😂
I loved the timeless bathrooms that they dissed. And the ones they recommended instead makes me think that they have no idea what they’re talking about. And all of that while they’re standing in a dark room where the walls and the door are the same color, decorated with a fake fig plant 🙄
Watching this whilst looking around at my boho themed, white walled, rattan and blonde wood featured unit...👀😅
So this is why I don’t chase trends
Absolutely. And because trends aren't your personal style, but in essence the 'majority's' style. And when you find your style, and its grounded in a style and palette, and uses elements that are classic, then they'll be a trend once or twice before you're done with them.
👍
Lately I’ve been really appreciating people who mixed furniture styles, woods, and colors/tones well. The worst for leaning into any trend too much is getting too matchy matchy.
I totally get the mustard thing. My Mom always used to say, “Everything in moderation.” And my grandfather would add, “Especially moderation!”
LOL love it! Reminds me of my beloved late husband. Thank you for sharing that.
Fun video 😁. The main take-home- message I get from combining the content of many of your videos together is... "Go for classic style and don't follow trends, mix and mingle cheap and expensive" .. Then your house 1) won't go out of style and 2) you will save loads of money due to not having to renovation and change furniture out every year or to! Which is also good for the environment!
In Europe we love "light woods" (US: blond wood) and there are so many different types... And they are loved in northern Europe because homes have smaller spaces and dark long Winters.. So light woods and white walls give a feeling of more space and light in a small home! But we use colour in accessories.
I find, as a northern European, many American homes (if I generalize) are either 1) depressing with their dark brown furniture and obsession with beige and browns, or 2) look visually cluttered eg in fake farmhouse style with the obsession of putting signs up and labels on everything (eg Ray Dunn) or 3) they lack personally (as you said) due to the other extreme.. White on white on white...which looks sterile.
So I guess what influences our perception of what is good or bad is just "what we are used to"!?.. And we should just do what makes us feel "at home and happy" in our own space!
Literally who is saying loungewear is out? Anyone I know hasn't even worn a bra in over 6 months lol
I’m going on 18 months of boob freedom!!!!!!
Death of lounge wear? That sounds like clothing companies trying to get rid if a lifestyle and get us to shop more.
Could anyone tell me where the black nightstand with the brass base is from?
Its so practical for people who work from home, i hope they don't let it die
I’m going more towards lounge wear. Wore my yoga pants out to run errands for the first time in December. Luved it. I would always change into jeans before but not anymore. I just need to find yoga pants with pockets and I’ll be all set.
Bingo!
I've been viewing a number of your videos in the last few days - and finally you mention the true issue with trends or styles or ...whatever. That the industry and commerce cram them down our consumer throats. Familiarity breeds contempt in this case. The best style is the style you've cultivated/curated for yourself - and are willing to adapt or evolve as the times change. Thanks for reinforcing the point.
I’d like to add everything grey. Grey is a perfectly fine color but when we were house shopping so many of the newly remodeled homes had grey floors, grey walls, grey cabinets grey furniture- too much grey!
I hate it! Grey everything is not the move
We have very, but it's offset with pops of color. Our floors are warm and it's a good balance. When we were shopping, it was everything was white! Too much white! People need to find balance and color!
The worst is gray LVP
Too much grey, or too much white, are stale and boring to me! Gah! Make it stop!
It’s like living in a black and white photo! No. No. No!
I tried to go with an open and airy living room style. I was saving all kinds of images on Pinterest and realized I'm not a open and airy person. I was a darker tones and cozy textures person. I love looking at the coastal homes but I can't live in them. I think you just need to gravitate to the things you love
Love the video ❤
Well said.
Good comment. I'm really drawn towards that old Hollywood regency glam look, but to live in it everyday would be awful to me. My home style is quite the opposite; Scandi and basic. I realized when I vacation I want to stay in glitzy spaces.
I love the idea of making the decor a little more formal/tailored. And I’ve never been a fan of open concept to the point where when someone comes over, they can see every part of your house from the front door. I like a little separation between rooms.
I think timeless design is about balance. When our friends were knocking their walls down, we kept ours. Saying that, if you have young children, you may want an open concept kitchen/dining/family room. Just make sure there are plenty of private spaces, like a sitting room, or a library. Flexible partitions and pocket doors allow the space to be divided when you don't all want to be together.
Agree. There's there's times when you don't want to be together. Or you don't want to hear each other's noise. Or someone's learning how to cook and I boiled something over in the whole house ends up smelling because you can't shut things off. Can't shut off the kitchen or the den. Why you open up the windows to the kitchen that used to have a door
I agree. I owned a 1927 home with walls, a midcentury where they actually started the open trend, and now a new home with an open concept... but my solution was MORE ROOMS. 😂😂😂 My house is bigger and I have rooms everywhere else
And the noise of the whole main floor open concept ..when you add company is so loud !
We opened up our home or our young family and I admit now, I go and sit in the hallway or my bedroom to get some space now haha now the kids are older I don’t have to see them every second of the day, although it was great at the time
I’m so glad to be past the need to stay on trend; with furniture; clothes, hairstyles, etc.
Now, my home, my clothes and my hair are truly me. And ironically get so many more compliments.
I’m condo hunting and it’s depressing how many beautiful pre-war buildings have had all of the charm (and all of the walls) ripped out of them. I don’t want to sit in my living room and look at my kitchen sink; I want defined spaces.
I hate walking in the front door and seeing the kitchen sink.
I blame those house renovation reality shows...
@@CinthyaBB I agree. Every single family on House Hunters wanted “open space this open space that”
Walls are going to be a booming industry!
AMEN!!!
Please Show more of the fresh, wall paint colors, functional accent pieces, window dressings etc., that we can ease into (before and after pics) of REAL living rooms… not just glam Pinterest decor. Many of us can’t throw out all our furniture at once to instantly update our decor. Budget limitations for everyday families. Thx
As an avid traveler I can feel the Nomad style in my soul! Love incorporating my travels in my home
Na blond wood is life. Never letting go. 😂😂😂
I agree. Would not paint my room black either.
Open concept going away? Yessss! Privacy, please!
LOL! I need my "away" time too!
I am totally re-doing my whole house. I love It its warm, inviting and classy but if someone else hates it that's ok too...they do not pay my mortgage, if very critical then they are not a true friend and can leave. It is MY palace !👸🏡
True. Your palace and your sanctuary.
Subway tile isn’t a “trend”. It’s been a basic since the 1930’s
They said that, it’s been around for a long time. But what they are implying is that it becomed a trend because everyone is using it now
It's fine. Just keep it and it will come back. I have some oak cabinets from the 90s that have come back.
It is a simple , clean, classic. Its what you do around it.
I think someone should explore the idea of what photographs well vs what lives well.
Honestly that's a big part of how I make decisions now. What will last, what will hide dirt, etc.
I love this idea!!!
Some things are pinterest worthy but aren't practical for day to day.
I love what you've said today. My house is a little open plan. Kitchen and dining one space, with a separate living room. I love white, but have never managed the all white theme. I have one cream sofa and that's it. I love my home more now after your chat today, so thank you!!
Yes, give me walls! I’ve been complaining about open concept for years, and to all of my friends’ confusion, insisted on choosing an apartment where I couldn’t see my bedroom from my living room. I love a hallwallway and a pass through kitchen.
I'm currently open planning my house here in England. Walls are good, but at the same time I enjoy extra light and that roomy feel. It's easier for my wife and I to decorate an open plan house (already got the furniture).
Glad to hear that my distaste for open floor plans and all white rooms will finally be trendy. Will be moving to a 1925 condo with a separate galley kitchen and butler's pantry. Love it!
You guys are adorable! And I love this video. My 28 year old neighbor is a bit condescending about kitchens need to be white and following trends. I have gorgeous quarter sawn oak cabinets that were installed 14 years ago when we built our house. I will be thrilled to have them another 10 years easily! I’ll probably switch out my backsplash but I love my cabinets.
Love the idea of Nomadic style. Pieces have stories and encourage expanding horizons.
I don't follow trends, but when you're grounded in your style, trends will follow you. lol. ... so I have a closed, tv room, which is where i keep all my travel things, stick with campaign furniture etc, and can keep the palette a little more woody and warm then the rest of my house
@@rachelsavard851 that sounds fabulous.
We used to call it Global style.
This video was so helpful! I’m currently trying to make big decisions for our home that I want to love for a long time. Our new build will have mid tone brown floors (we didn’t get to choose) and I was so sad about not getting the light wood floors and watching this makes me feel so much better. 5 years ago I would’ve wanted gray tone floors, so I know things change a ton.
Enjoy listening to your perspective on trends, gives me something to think about when making decisions of my own, thank you 🇨🇦
FINALLY SOMEONE SAID IT!! The light wood is everywhere! Everyone has it and is doing it, I think it's beautiful but definitely not for me! I think it is important for interior designers to say just because a certain trend is "in" does not mean you need to do it or you need to like it. Always remember it is YOUR home and YOU need to love it. Love you Valentina, thanks for being so genuine!
I'm a fan of black wood and accent pieces. Grey walls white cabinets with black knobs. I love contrast. A few little bits of color here and there but nothing that blows your eyes out.
Karina Herrera...And at the same time, it's just as vital that because someone says "it's out" doesnt mean that you have to ditch it, if you loved it and still do. We need to not be so fickle. Especially when these are not things like saying "oh my skinny jeans are out, I guess I'll go to wide leg."..or whatever. We're talking walls, floors, entire houses, kitchens, the whole enchilada! No small change. People need to stop being so manipulated. We have become "controlled" by these unknown controllers. It's really sad and scary how insecure some people are in their personal choices. Just my opinion. Its hard not to see it everyday though!
Subway tile is a trend? It's been a thing for over 100 years. And messing with it is going to make it date faster.
TBH I really don't understand this video. You're basically naming timeless designs, calling them outdated, and then proposing replacing them with currently trendy things that'll go out of date in 2 years.
This comment is very true!
Exactly what I’m getting from this 😂
I agree. I’ve lived in homes (rented) ranging from 1890s to now (on my third home built 2021) and I just don’t see this ever leaving because it never was a “trend.”
Right! And boho is a lifestyle. There are so many “trends” inside boho. Add a textured subway to your kitchen and splash something when cooking. You will want it down quick
So agree!
One trend I'd love to see die is gray everything. We've been house hunting and I find it most frustrating to see every remodel done in gray: floor, walls, cabinets. Yuck!
Yesss!!
Gray is for dead flesh, prison walls and people who live a black and white life. It’s a ghastly fad. I choose to live my life in full color.
@@k.stacey7389 Great comment.
Well if you're house hunting then the paint is a very easy fix. Hopefully you've been just imagining it without the gray paint!
@@WarmongerYT Sure have. All the gray is gone in our new home.
We just bought a home and everyone has asked us if we’re going to do many of these trends. For example, painting out all of the dark wood surfaces white, tearing down all of the walls, creating a huge bathroom, etc. and we’re actually not doing any of them because we feel it will erase all of the character of the home that we have really fallen in love with. I think we have found a balance between classic and trendy that comes from a really authentic place. Our home isn’t ‘Instagram ready’ and we really love it. We’re doing what we like and I think that’s important.
I spend about 20 minutes a day showering and doing my hair. I visit my bathroom for, uh, necessary business. That's it. Now, I can see putting some money into changing out tile or fixtures that are stained, grotty, rusted, or chipped, as well as paint and window coverings. Beyond that, though, my money is desperately needed elsewhere. Like a vacation to a place that is no where near a tub. Because in the tub, my family can still get to me to tell me something is spilled or smoking or bleeding. So why bother?
Yes yes yes!! I’m so tired of farmhouse everything. This past year has made me realize I’m sticking with timeless style that never goes out of style. Richly layered English style is where I’m going and you wouldn’t believe what you can find at antique stores and flea markets. Tapestries, rich woods, chesterfield sofas, wing back chairs, oriental rugs and gold frames have found their way into my home and I couldn’t be happier with a lot more formality in it! Silver plate, table linens, chinoiserie and all the things!!
Great list, have to admit I'm not a fan of most of what was on this list in a design perspective. The issue with trends is that it can be limiting for various reasons, it's why it's nice to just do trends with less expensive things that can be switched and not have it be a part of a more expensive renovation project. Can't wait for minimalism to go though, it's one thing to not want clutter, but another thing that there is nothing to make anyone want to return to a space void of any personality.
Finally someone who agrees about minimalism. So stark and cold feeling
Nomadic, thank you omg I have been looking for this term. It's totally my style and I have been having so much trouble defining it.
I would always describe it as a neutral base with room for personality and nature.
That sounds beautiful!
@@HouseofValentina Thanks you! There is a big charcoal black wall with teak furniture and some gold and matt black accents sprinkled about. Mustard yellow armchair which looks amazing with the gold and the teak, Some black and white Aztec prints and ofcourse pets and plants :)
I also love your style, it's a bit more luxurious than my peasant ways but its gorgeous and really suits both of you. Sophisticated in an inviting fun kinda way!
Thank you!!! 🙌🏻 I totally avoided the whole gray trend and my husband will be thrilled to hear that “subway tile” is leaving the building. lol Mustard???? 😂😂😂
I've loved blonde wood for so long that I actually struggled to find furniture with it until recently and followed a lot of Australian design accounts because it's been big over there for a while. I use it all throughout my home but I do it because I love the brightness it brings and not because it's a trend. I'm really happy it's a trend right now though because I can finally easily find what I'm looking for. I also live right beside a beach so it's just the vibe 😊 I also love some rattan but it's certainly easy to go overboard. But the natural materials just feel great in a home. Our styles are very different to be fair though, I lean more into Scandinavian Coastal meets Transitional. I guess as long as you're not doing it for the trend who cares though lol! I'm laughing because 80% of this video came for my personal style I've developed over the years LOL but I still love videos like this. I like to hear all sides of it! And it just confirms that I still love it, trend or no trend!
Get it while you can!
I agree completely with your trends to be cautious with. I feel we just get tired of seeing the same things over and over. Thank you so much for this video.
My favorite is dark wood floor with a subtle hint of gray in it and a subtle hint of mahogany. I do love herringbone wood floors kind of reminds me of Parisian apartment. This could either be ultra modern or very traditional or very casual.
I completely agree with everything. Thank you for giving me the confidence to go with my gut on these decisions!
All things in moderation is applicable to every aspect of life. 🤷🏻♀️I agree with everything you and Jack say! ✨✨✨✨✨
I am so glad that open concept is on the way out! I love having a separate kitchen, dining room (now home office!), and living room! It has been an ongoing battle with my husband, who wants the open concept!
I have concerns about my kitchen being totally open. All the mess shows at all times. I love a formal dining room.
I have always loved open house concept
I would love to be able to keep my giant beast dogs out of the kitchen. I have come to accept that a good portion of hair in food is because there is dog hair on my sleeves and clothes...still lol they shake off in my kitchen!
I love the comfort, coziness and tranquility afforded by smaller, distinct, deliberate and defined spaces. Open floor plans always remind of a cafeteria, gymnasium or multipurpose room. No character, no charm and nothing special.
Hi Valentina & Jack, Great video! I can totally live without these styles! I am glad you have the guts to say it out loud 😂 Love you guys!
My husband and I have 6 children, and while I appreciate having sight lines to keep an eye on the toddler, I would never want things to be super open. It's too loud, it's hard to have private conversations or a bit of quiet to read or whatever. However I also prefer the idea of a formal living/parlor room that I can keep clean and nice and not have pressure to keep the great room/keep room pristine all the time. Under no circumstance do I want to see the kitchen from the front door.
Omg as an avoider of trends…spot on. Thank you. I feel so validated 😆
Enjoyed this! Happy Memorial Day. Love you both 💓 I believe yall are spot on.
I love all the photos as examples in this video. Good job.
Yes! I think it's important to be aware of what trends are passing through so you don't mistake them for honestly good design, which should always be more balanced and more personal than what you see in photos trying to sell you the latest thing.
Love your common sense approach to this! You are giving lots of "food for thought" as you mentioned, while encouraging people to stay true to themselves and their individual taste! Just found this channel and have loved it 😍 !!
I like boho but it feels so cluttered and artificial. I’m Swedish and lean towards a Scandinavian w flavours of our folklore, some boho textiles & greenery. So Nomadic may be a better term than Scandiboho.
I had never heard of scandiboho ,,, exactly just what is this ??.
Another trend to follow me thinks
@@ellaredseals2694 I made it up, or borrowed the term from the interior decorating lingo. Less maximalist boho or the minimalist Scandi temperad by colour, even more greenery and some quirky items?
*Blonde Wood and Rattan* . Thank you for addressing this. I had blonde wood in the early 90's. I just can't even consider it again. I love the look and vibe of medium warm wood tones. I agree the rattan is being over-done. The Thrift Stores will be full of it in a few years.
Agree! Besides, rattan and wicker age in a terrible way, splintering and fraying everywhere; worse if you have pets like cats, rattan and jute won't survive intact! On the blonde wood though, i think the reason i don't like it is that it makes me think of cheap, unsanded, unstained pine and wood for crafts.
@@ophilianecr Me too!!! I dislike blonde wood for the same reason. Glad I’m not alone. 😊
I also love that you shared with us the difference between Boho and Nomadic. I design cushion ranges with that boho/nomadic feel. This info makes me more confident in explaining my Cushion designs. 😊
I just put Wide plank sea cliff “blond” flooring in. Love it. I live in Las Vegas and changed out 3” oak orange or golden oak flooring for French Oak wide planks in Seacliff. Couldn’t be happier.
Hey Tracy..can you recommend a good place to buy flooring in Vegas?
I’ve been looking at a lot of interior design videos because really want to understand my own style and what it is I like and dislike, what works and doesn’t in design. I agree with pretty much all that was said here. So many things are just overplayed, over hyped, and EVERYONE has the same thing going.
I love these videos and so excited about how my house will turn out in the end!
Vee and Jack what i love is that you both aren't afraid to tell the truth❤
1. Hyper minimalism - i totally agree with you guys. I honestly believe that people use this aesthetic cause they cant pinpoint their actual design style and just copy pinterest and dont use it for inspo and take elements from it and inject their own personality.
2. Sculptural furniture does not look functional and cosy. Looks super uncomfortable and a space feels contrived especially if it is overdone.
3. Wicker and Rattan trend - you said it all Vee. It is not timeless at all.
4. Open plan homes - agreed from the first time you mentioned it. In South Africa new build homes are all open plan and i have never loved it. So i decided to buy an older home and just refurbished the kitchen and bathroom because older homes in South Africa arent open plan.
Love the content ❤
I don’t disagree often, but in the South wicker is timeless. Antique and well loved pieces sell at a premium. It is open, airy and cool breezes flow through. Iron is hot to the touch and holds heat. Cushions are a must though on any out door furniture, for comfort. Wood furniture is the exception. Adirondack chairs do stay cool with open slats. However, they still need cushions and annual painting. Not everyone is comfortable in them.
Red entry way, gold hallway, orange glow living room (use a bright yellow base coat and glaze orange over it), gold textured dining room... yup, bold, warm colors in my house in our main areas and we love it. Haven't gotten to doing the kitchen how I want it yet since we just recently bought this house. Dark purple ceilings and turquoise walls in the bedroom. Total r and r in the bedroom. Have fun with your house and make it to reflect you.
Good advice. It is so easy to get caught up in trends.
I enjoy your channel and love to watch you 2 together. You guys always put a smile on my face. I think it’s good that your brought up these styling trends, but, there will always be people who prefer a much more laid back home atmosphere or love natural materials, such as rattan and wicker, those who are not minimalists nor are they maximalists, and so on. The biggest point I take from this video, is yes, of course, embrace what you love and what you want to reflect in your home, but moderation in most things is a good guideline and think about how much you are spending in trends that you may grow tired of eventually. Large, expensive pieces should be timeless and also adaptable to different trends as time goes on. Thanks for bringing this to our attention and helping us to think through our decor choices. PS: I love all your ‘lists’!
Hello Valentina I love your channel and think you are so lovely and funny . I tune in with complete joy ☺️
I like trend videos because they give us different perspective. Ultimately, we decorate with what makes us happy. Thank you.
YAY for some closed off/defined spaces!! While I love my kitchen/dining area being open and connected, I've never loved the open concept where someone walks in your door and can see your whole life--your dirty dishes you haven't gotten to yet, your husband's laptop and keys he set on the kitchen table after work, etc. I LOVE that I have an entryway with a small sitting room off my front door where I can greet and invite people in without feeling self-conscious of them seeing my daily life "stuff" happening! 👍
I like the fun you and Jack have while you give us sound guidance. I love the look and lightness of basket weave lighting, however my first thoughts on design usually revolve around “is this light, piece of furniture, rug, etc., going to attract dust or be difficult to dust or clean?” We live in a low-humidity, relatively arid climate. Unless houses are hermetically sealed, there will be dust. Lots of nooks and crannies in furniture and lighting make dusting and cleaning a pain in the tush. Simple, clean design makes cleaning easier!
I think about dust all the time when making decisions too!! You'll never see wicker or rattan in my home bc of that. I love smooth, easy to clean items.
Yes!!!!! It’s all fine and dandy unless you’re the one who has to clean it.
I agree with finding your style first then trends can be integrated into your genre to be keep your space current and fresh. In Australia open plan is the most popular because of our climate and access to front and back patios with multiple functionalities. Agree with the rest of your content. Love your channel!!
You guys are so cute!
Love this. I own two homes, one a darling Victorian in a small town, the other a cute pine cabin in the woods. Both charming in their own regard. Your content is so helpful to add elements where I can update the look, while maintaining their charm, and not breaking the bank account.
Excellent comment about liking mustard but not wanting a bowl of it. You clarified the whole thing in one sentence. Brilliant.
I'm surprised you did not mention the Sputnik light fixtures...SO TIREd of them....the sticks with balls ( lights) on the end.
I feel like this would be ok in the long run if your entire home vibe is very mid century. But if it’s just a random light… yeah maybe not
lol when we moved into our house that was built in the 60s during the 90s they had several of those light fixtures throughout the house. We should have kept them- we would have been on trend.
Lmaoooooo ur killing me smalls! I just bought one 🤣🤣🤣
I agree! I hate uncovered light bulbs, it must have a shade to cover it or it will hurt my eyes
Great video. Would love to see a part 2 video abt big investments if remodeling w/contractors. Outside paint colors, floors (wood color & size), cabinets, light fixtures, faucets, etc. Redoing something to only fear that in 5 yrs its out of style. Want a classic look that will last. Its beautiful to visit an old hotel/restaurant that is timeless.
How do u achieve that style for your home?
That’s a great question!
I totally agree! I am from the south. I’m in my 59’s. Currently renovating a house built in 2000. I’m not tearing up anything. All of it is functional. Just replacing things worn out, and painting. Thankfully here, most of us are only concerned with being comfortable. Or at least I am. I love all the advice. It’s very helpful when making decisions with all the different options on the market now.🧚🏼
Everyone knows trends go in and out so I think it is definitely important to keep your mind focused on not the same old same old thing all the time. I think your video is refreshing it keeps me looking out for what's coming up and it also helps me to incorporate a little of it in my home. I never go full on a specific style instead I do a little bit of this and that until I find one I like so I definitely appreciate hearing what you have to say keep up the great work. God bless!
I’m a semi open concept type of person. I don’t want to walk into a big room with 2 hallways leading to bedrooms and bathrooms however I also don’t feel like walking through a closed off space like you see with older homes built pre say 1950.
I agree about the minimalist overdo..I have heard from several blogs...."I am no minimalist" it can take the soul out of the home to remove stuff you love
It photographs well. Not great for actually living in.
I became a subscriber because I was looking for a video on how to style a coffee table and I just want to say I think you two are adorable. This video really helped me because my husband and I have spectacularly gorgeous art deco furniture. And I have toyed with the idea of getting a more comfortable couch and he of course put his foot down saying I spent thousands of dollars on that and we’re not going to get rid of it. Andyou two helped me to realize the beauty of hanging onto the furniture we love and how timeless it is. I’m not sure I worded that correctly but the bottom line is you helped me and I thank you
I love your take on monochromatic rooms. I was planning on going all grey/cream/white
I love my open space in my kitchen because I cook a lot and have a big family and enjoy our time together and I don’t do trends I just buy what I like 😂
As a creative I love colour way too much to ever want white walls or an all white room, as temptingly lovely as those spaces may look in decor magazines. My home is filled with jewel colours and classics like navy, cream, greys and greens. I'm leaning towards more muted, calm wall colours these days than when I was younger. Boho is always beautiful in my book for that creative and free spirited feel, as well as items that look hand crafted and unique. I agree with your comments on nomad style too, as I love incorporating treasured items from my travels into my home which keep the memories of special trips alive. Personally I've never been a fan of subway tile. Wicker will always feature here in South Africa, although I agree that furniture pieces date easily. I adore wood in it's many beautiful tones and have an eclectic mix, though oak is my favourite. I buy only what I love for my home, and years afterwards I sill love my purchases. I allow myself to go with trends in smaller decor items like cushions which can easliy be updated, but only if I truly love the look. Thanks for your wonderful videos, I love your channel and I love that you're as obsessed with home decor and design as I am x
Karen...You have a wonderful grasp on your own personal design aesthetic! And that balance in mixing woods, and the occasional painted piece, is hard for some to achieve but what makes an interior interesting in my book. Same with styles. I adore the mix, it brings character and life to a space, it becomes a home!
I just stumbled upon you guys and have to say you both are so great. Thank you for keeping your posts real and down to earth. Also, I really appreciate how clean you keep your conversations and never swear. Awesome and refreshing.
I agree with your ideas. Most design decisions I make do have to last 10-15 years. I love to hear your trend forecasts.
