Use of color is associated with a closed floor plan, so that the color stays "contained" within a definable design space. Since MCM, American homes have been dominated by open floor plans and high pitched ceilings that are hard to meld with a strong use of color, due to the size of the space, the intrusion of the ceiling into the visual space, and the way the design needs to flow through multiple use areas.
This is a really great point. I moved into my home just over a year ago and have gone a little nuts with wallpaper and pattern. I hadn't thought of it, but it's so much easier to do this in my current home (which is like a rabbit's warren of separate rooms) than in previous homes where it was hard to know how to transition spaces when they're all connected and open to each other. I'm British by birth so I come by a love of pattern, wallpaper and some *clutter* honestly since my homes growing up were always this way.
Loss of option, houses are getting smaller, so they whipped off all constructive details to it look seamless, and convinced even the rich to think of this is as a super cool feature.
very insightful, makes so much sense!
my favorite genre of youtube home tours is "gay man buys an english country estate and decorates it like an 80 year old woman on acid" even if it does make me feel claustrophobic lol
If you love English country, you HAVE TO watch some escape to the country episodes. There are many REALISTIC English country homes that real people go to look at. The show has been running for like 15 years and there are lots of episodes on CZcams. It’s my comfort TV. 😊
omg yeeeeeess!!!
Those are so much fun! I love learning about different villages. I feel like we don’t have anything similar in the States.
Omg I mainlined every epiosde of that show so fast in pandemic.
I've been watching that show for years and absolutely LOVE it !! I would love to visit the UK and see those charming villages in person....probably never happen so I just dive in to the show and get my fix there !!
This is my therapy
Sometimes I think the way you can paint walls a really bright colour in the UK is due to the natural light. I’m based in Australia and the daylight here is super bright - much brighter than the UK. It’s hard to describe, but it’s just different, and so sometimes coloured walls here look trashy and loud in a way that the similar colours look warm, inviting and fun. Maybe also about weather, atmosphere and the relationship to the outside surrounds too, as we generally, even in the south of the country, don’t need spaces to feel cosy for much of the year and coloured walls can really contain a space and bring the focus inwards.
Yes you really need to be in Seattle or Portland to get the proper kind of light to make UK paints work, at least the stronger ones. Someone elsewhere going for the look should find a similar shade then go about 2 shades weaker for actual use.
I was thinking that as well. The weather can be quite dreary in those areas so the diffused light both invites fun colours and makes them look lovelier.
This is a really good point. I also find that most paint brands sold at big box stores don’t do subtle/subdued colours well. I don’t think they have the complexity of colour pigments the same way brands like UK brands Farrow and Ball and Edward Bulmer have do. To work around this, I bought a Farrow and Ball fan deck off Amazon and work with my local Porters colour specialist to colour match. She can sometimes take up to 30min working on a colour but they always come out beautifully.
I'm completely with you on the push/pull of beautiful authentic mid century modern homes and cozy warm english country cottage homes. It's like softness, warmth, colorful & layered vs clean lines and curves.
Transitional design
Me too
Same!! So in my bedroom I have more of the soft and cozy English country and my living room leans more Mcm/modern but I mix both as well in both rooms
When I think of a compromise, I think of 1970’s Italian design- something modern and old world cozy with a hint of sexy and moody- am I wrong here?
Victorian fashion was heavily influenced by India.. fabrics, designs, prints and bright colors ofcourse. The home decor i see in some of the uk homes have a lot of style which i can tell has been influenced by India. Curtains, cushions, fabrics. A lot of older homes in India have red oxide flooring and its still very common in southern part of india. Also tv cabinet with closed doors is something what i grew up with. Almost all homes had tvs inside the cabinet either with doors or cute curtains.
Yes I've often thought this about Paige's preferences. There's a step back further in history about block printing etc that reflects UK's colonial history that many people who enjoy traditional design don't appreciate!
I absolutely love Indian design and block print and yes - due to the way India was colonised, so many of India’s designs and patterns have been stolen and claimed to be English country when it’s actually from Jaipur or other parts of Rajasthan. British decor is actually rooted in Indian design
@@starryeyed777 absolutely! Block printing has been used in India at least from 12th century and the method is 2000 years old. People who have been to India and visited palaces in Rajasthan like you mentioned or any other palaces can surely see where all the English interior design style comes from. Also, wood is something people are obsessed now in all the countries but in India its never been like a trend. It's been a way of life, all the furnitures are made up of rosewood, teak, acacia, ebony and sheesham since 14th century.
@@natashatrilokekar2435yup and no one talks about it because no one wants to know the truth or interested in actually knowing the history. It's sad.
This is why I would describe the style of some of these English houses as „British Empire Style“. The guy at 11:00 showing of his collection of „exotic things“, the Chinese porcelain and obligatory 'mysterious African masks' in these houses, I mean, c'mon... xD
Robert Kime was King Charles interior designer- he died a couple of years ago and everything you see in this video has been sold at auction.
I got his rug. ❤️ Beautiful man and home. I miss him already. 💔
Yeah Robert Kime is a legend.
@@Print229 I was able to successfully bid on one of the paintings. The rugs were amazing but quickly climbed the stratosphere of prices, which I was expecting.
I'm obsessed by looking through his auction catalogue and photo shoots
@@barbaraneves2802 I bought the auction catalog as well! And his book of course.
I love British maximalist style of design but to do it properly you need years and years of gathering treasures and bargain antique shopping to layer into your decor and travel enhances this way of decorating.
A very famous British interior designer in his 80’s (can’t remember name) said that if you gather all the furniture and decor pieces you love and adore your decor will be always be cohesive and beautiful. We don’t have to be concerned that things match together and that the colors meld together perfectly they will mesh together to become a timeless and a statement of true style.
Could it have beet 'David Hicks'?
Exactly. And tbf most of these people are upper class, have inherited 33% of their amazing treasures, found 33% on their extensive travels to Marocco or India and were gifted the other 33% by their fabulous, wealthy friends 😅 not attainable for most.
They can curate because they're secure. The average Joe with that much stuff would simply be labeled a haorder.
I appreciate British maximalism from afar , though.
@@nadjak3410 Excellent point! Yes, if you aren‘t descended from Old Money and don‘t move in posh circles, your „collecting“ can quickly descend into mere hoarding. After all, there’s a considerable difference between high class connections and genteel travel on one end and mere Ebay on the other. I‘ve been wrestling with this for years.
Would love to see a Mexico City video. Number one city on my wishlist to visit. The architecture/trees/parks/etc look amazing. Please go!
Paige! Those “picture bars” or areas for hanging pictures from the crown molding are important in very old homes! In old houses tte walls were plaster, not drywall. If you had put in a nail, it would have cracked the plaster. Voila! Picture rails. 🤪🤪💕💕
AH! This makes sense now. I love them!
@@wasselpa as well as protecting the plaster, if your home is listed, there are many things you're not allowed to do, like put nails in walls that are hundreds of years old, so using picture rails is very often the compromise.
idea: if you’re really into those curtains under the sink but don’t think you’ll ever incorporate them into your own home, you should design some as a future WAS product !
I would be sooo here for that and would gladly pay a hefty shipping fee to the UK ❤
I know exactly what you mean about loving both types of design - and it’s fun trying to balance mid century furniture with traditional textiles. My style concept for my home is “Bag End but if Bilbo had been a college student in the 70s”
Ahahaha I love that way of describing it 😂
Was about to do some chores, but everything else is on pause until I finish hanging out with Miss Wassel.
dear god I've seen all of these. have I reached the end of interiors youtube?
there must be more!!
i have some that I can share with you :) czcams.com/play/PL5ihK1VSPcG_hD-PuQxPpTSIAn8a8JEOS.html&si=vFwgMMP4asLynI4W.
Did you see the one with Rebecca Vizard on Homeworthy? It's SO GOOD!
Watch Libby Callaways hometour if you are a maximalist. Also Troye Sivians hometour is amazing and jamies jungle hometour by Summer Rayne Oakes
Been loving Japanese, Scandi, Mexican style homes. Really cool incorporation of colour. I love looking at AD Mexico - so many bright colours!
Omg what a good idea! I hadn't even thought of that.
I love tiny houses, so Im obsessed with the Never Too Small channel, (my faves are Thomas Fournier's Parisian apartment, Jacobo Valentí's Barcelona home and all the episodes in Japan)!!!
You are not going to elaborate on the tomato themed birthday? I would recommend the Alexandra Tolstoy home tour on House and Garden and Rajiv Surendra's NYC apartment on Handmade Home. Thanks for all you do!
I live in Mexico City (been here for 20 years). I don't have specific Airbnb reco but happy to check anyone that you want to share and provide restaurant reco. Also, come in April, there are many Jacarandas and they bloom in April. Also, while the weather is good year around (70 to 80s) the most sunny weather is March to May.
You need to watch House & Home’s midcentury home in Canada (2 years ago). The video is called “Colorful home makeover, Midcentury meets maximalist”. They have lots of art pieces w/great personal stories
I think you would love Krakow in Poland. It is tourist trap, but what is interesting... They have lots of bars, coffee bars, restaurants and every place is verry diferent and designed even themed. I was so inspired and amazed there. And cool airbnbs.
I love you paige! I've never left you a comment but i adore your videos. Bored of vloggers and people pretending to be perfect and i just love the way your channel is so focused on the home and interiors and having a chat basically. It really makes me feel good to watch your videos! Plus, i love the little advert type thing you snuck in there about what you expect from a future spouse 😂 love, from the south of France
Ahhhh I lo0ve these. Some of my favorites, not mentioned: Alison Lloyd’s Hackney on 'The Modern House' channel, Will Fischer and Charlotte Freemantle on 'House and Garden', Captain Kelly's Cottage on 'The Local Project'... for anyone who wants to go down more of a rabbit hole, lol
I think you would enjoy Beata Heuman's home on the Swedish countryside! It's on The Sunday Times Style channel
I love that tour so much. Her daughters’ room especially… truly perfect.
+1 on this! Everything about her house prior to her current house was amazing! Her orangeri was so beautiful and fun. Also her parents house in sweden is 👌
I smoke pot sometimes too Paige, interior design potheads unite!
I've watched Robert Kime many times just because he was so cool, unique, laid back and fun. He was definitely one of a kind. He had a beautiful eye but most importantly, the wisdom to not take any of it seriously.
Moved into a 1920’s apartment a week ago and ran into the living room while watching this and I definitely have the molding for picture rails & hangers. Stoked.
I love watching these sort of videos where you bring other homes to take a peek in
“all artists are depressed or mentally ill” *immediately cuts to sponsorship*
😂
LMFAO
Just glad it wasn’t better help lol
Please share the artists spelling of her name I need to find that video 🤲🏿😭😭
Homeworthy profiled designer Elizabeth Law's California home. I appreciated how committed she was to keeping the house original to it's time period (100+ year old Spanish style).
Absolutely loved everything about her home.
You HAVE to watch this one from the modern house: "Architecture Fan Buys House She's Dreamed Of For 50 Years". Really inspired me a lot
It was great hanging out with you and listening to your inputs on home design/decor! Im definitely more into the more mid-century modern type home, but i live in Paris which is fun because i get to mix modern pieces into an old apartment with chevron parquet and all over molding. Best of both worlds for me.
The plastic tomatoes are luscious.
The Modern House's sister site, Inigo, has become my new favourite. I also love Never Too Small (architects giving tours of small homes they designed in Spain, Tokyo, Buenos Aires, Melbourne etc), and My Scandinavian Home sometimes features really cool homes in Finland, Norway, Denmark and Tasmania weirdly...
I love a good kitchen and like to dream over Plain English and especially their sister site, British Standard which features real homes rather than showroom inspo. There's this mustard yellow kitchen that I always look at. I don't want it for myself I just love knowing it exists.
are the latter two youtube channels? becasue My Scandinavian Home on youtube has only one very short video, and plain english has nothing on design ... perhaps you are talking Instagram or websites? Modern House, Inigo, and NeverTooSmall are all great, I agree 🙂
Same with the mustard yellow English kitchen... The one that lives in my head rent free has this dark soapstone worktop
suggestion: paint your bathroom a color that makes people's skin look radiant.
rabbit holes on pot are such a creative option🐦🌴🌾🌴🌾🌾🐦
Hi Paige
I'm from Ecuador
Love your personality . You should follow Life by Lufe. He is from Brazil and visits houses with different decors.He also has two or three books. Lots of colour and brazilian crafts.
Yes, it is fun watching these and listening to you talk.
Yes, Paige. I love this type of content from you.
Chinoiserie is something that suits both traditional (eg The Royal Pavilion, Brighton, England) and mid century (eg Bert Cooper’s office in Mad Men) interior styles.
Just re-watched Frida with Selma Hayak and I totally fell in love with her family home and her and Diego's houses which are now a museum.
I love this type of video. Much more relaxed like listening to a friend talk 😊
Your videos are always so inspirational. After every video I walk through my house and look at differently. Sometime I am inspired to change a picture or move a piece of furniture and just that small change makes the space so much better. Sometimes I don't change anything, but just appreciate what I have and how the space makes me feel centered and calm and happy. Your amazing eye, your ability to see the beauty in a space, even when it isn't your style, truly is a gift and I appreciate you sharing it with the world!
we love to hear you talk, that's why we're here.
The woman who lives in an artist loft/studio, the Ganni one, and the MCM one are my favorites! I also love English cottage style but in smaller doses than the more maximalist ones featured. I think the Ganni & artist loft ones do a good job of marrying English style (pattern, color) with more modern designs.
Yes this is what i love. I love your CZcams episodes like these so much.❤
i feel like a curtain on a laundry room sink/counter is a great way to make that styling work with multiple different general design aesthetics!
I enjoyed this format! Thanks for posting
Love the home tours your observations are always interesting!
Yes, love this type of video, so much inspo. Have fun on your date Paige and if he can cook, garden and manage finances, ask him if his Dad is single for me 😂
Love you, girl! Excited for Waaaaacko!
I mean you might already be familiar with this but Nowness has this great series called In Residence and they have really great homes. Also Homeworthy is a little hit or miss for me but some of my fav house tours are on there (I’d recommend Michelle Nussbaumer’s home)
should have read before I posted - recommending the same things. Never Too Small is also full of inspiration for those of us who live in much smaller places
I love Homeworthy... I think many of the people who weren't watching it from the beginning go too hard about it having both DIY & professionally designed spaces, but it's been that way since she first started touring other people's homes.
LOVE nowness
Rebecca Vizard's Homeworthy tour is good, she's a textile designer is Louisiana
czcams.com/video/vh-okSF9s6Q/video.htmlsi=J3SN4NLRLLjtrmhA
I've watched the Nowness home tours over and over and over again.
Love the lil tangents and stories u include in ur videos
I love to hear you talk. You’re so funny and fun to watch .
I like to hear you talk. I especially love the speed you're talking at - not too slow and not too many pauses. Love it!
omg! It is so insane that i almost watched all of these home tours!!!! and i also love them so much !!!!!
This is the most helpful video! I can’t wait to watch all these home tours and comb them for inspiration!
Some of my favorite videos are the home tours from Bella Freud, Sophie Ashby, Gert Voorjans, Francesco Risso, Zoe Zimmer, Frank Portelli’s Granddaughter’s Apartment from EverHouse
Love this series idea!
Love your commentary videos! I’m def on the more mid century side but I think a home without a mix of every era/style is just missing out on depth and interest! Love this, so fun ❤
I love the Schumacher ones.
I’m with you, I love so many things that I would not put in my home but I can admire and appreciate😊
This was fun to watch, and also gave me some new home tours to look up!
Love these all 2 ❤
Love this you do all the research and post for us. Would like to see more of this. Loads of ideas. Inspirations. Enjoyed my coffee with you this morning. Thank you for the visit. Peace!
Yes, I like you talking through the tours! It’s fun because I watched many of these tours too but have no feedback. My friends are not into design as much so it’s nice to hear you go at it with your opinions.
obsessed with these kinds of hang out vids btw !!
Love this type of video! More of this please 😊
Yes, this is great!!!
I had that bright warm yellow in my college bathroom and it was so wonderful. The room was very janky and cold feeling but once I painted it yellow I loved spending time int here and having candles lit was so cozy.
Yes! I love this type of video, feels like old school Paige, keep em coming :)
Have fun in Waco! Hope it’s warm enough!
Love this video! ❤
Love this kind of videos❤️
This was lots of fun paige
Loved this talk
Here for tomatoes in the background 🍅
You picked all my favorite homes💫
I’m very inspired by all the interiors of the English countryside homes too. The colors, patterns, curated objects, and thoughtfulness are what appeal to me most. Funny and I thought I was a minimalist!
Everhouse is a great channel for home tours.
Doing this you really find out what you’re really drawn to in decor. It’s almost visceral, you just react to what you truly like, which sometimes can surprise you.
I love these videos, please eep this series going , love from France ;)
Yes I really love to hear you talk that much ❤ great video
idk but it's really cool to see you sort of embrace the older/traditional styles of these designers' homes (marked by more "clutter" and feminine touches) bc that has always been my style; meanwhile i'm fine-tuning my own decor to sort of incorporate the more modern, cleaner touches that i see you regularly use in your home(s)
I can’t wait to see what you think of Waco! Love your videos and perspective about style and design!
Love watching house tours with you.
YES! OK here are my fave home tours: Rita Konig, Sophie Ashby, Gabby Deeming (all from H&G UK too), Jodie Hazelwood (Sunday Times), Christina Nielson (Homeworthy), Alvyn Wade (can't remember where, there are multiple tours of his NYC apartment on CZcams). Also, I LOVE Barrie Benson's home tour (I think that one is Schumacher which is another great CZcams channel for home tours). Paige, can you do a video teaching people how to prop style in their own home? P.S. Good luck on your Hinge date!
The tours were fun!! I love the picture rail idea.
Love those picture rails.
Love this video!
loving a raspy paige hangout
All those pops of light blue I’m seeing are so cool
You have to watch Skye McAlpine's Venice apartment tour. It's on House and Garden and might be my favorite home tour ever. The kitchen (and the rest of the house) is to die for. And I'm with you on not being able to decide between mid century and cozy english. I think my taste is just rich British person 😂
You pick amazing spaces to showcase & critique. Better than most other design CZcamsrs. ❤
The Amanda Brooks Home is my all time favorite favorite cottage! I loooove that house.
You're so pretty Paige! also thank you for turning me onto the House and Garden home tours, wow what a game changer
These sorts of video k-holes are so comforting and inspiring. You mentioned how it’s a good way of finding talented people - after I watched the Brooks Christmas video too many times, CZcams told me to switch over to Skye MacAlpine’s Venetian Christmas flat, and it is a delight for the eyes. Her homeworthy tour of her London house is also delicious and made me buy some pieces from her tableware line, Tavola. Very much in the Brooks/Hall English eccentric style.
The picture hanging bars were installed in old homes to protect the plaster in the walls. That was also the original purpose of chair rail and wainscoting.
ahhhhh this video gives the same vibe as your old oooold ones did, i missed it sm!!!
The English cottagy style is not my vibe, but my God, the last house, the MCM one, was stunning, I would give my right arm to live there! Please, do some more modernist houses Paige!
PS: loved your tomatoes!
These videos are fun. I like them.
You have picked out ALL my favorite videos and put them in one place.
this was so much funnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn🍒
This is nice! I like this style of video
