Sure enough☺️ my home is back in style, never left cozy traditional…And after being married for decades, what I have is Already vintage! Glad to see it being considered again, it’s timeless, Not trendy.😊
The “Little Women” aesthetic would be Civil War poverty where Meg and Jo hid their spoiled gloves and shared a single pair. That’s a far cry from Romance Core. More literature, less Hallmark. 😂
Totally agree (as Little Women is one of my all-time favorite books) but I think what Christina is going for here is just the idea (definitely in the book) where you pay attention to your space and do whatever is within your means to make it beautiful and cheerful (which often meant fresh flowers from the garden). 😊 It’s not my personal aesthetic for my home (I lean more towards mid-century modern and/or Craftsman/Arts and Crafts) but do like to look at it. 😊
I love both the Grandpa Chic and Romance Core trends. I enjoy picking aspects of new trends and incorporating them into the decor of our home. I will be looking at ways to use warm, rich colours, wall paper, and floral fabrics in my decor this year. Fun, informative video!
It's really sad that people showing trends or giving free advice have to give disclaimers telling people to do what they want and love because a few bitter, hormonal sadsacks get on the here and say Don't tell me what to do! I can make my own decisions mom! You know those people have mommy issues. Love the video :)
I love painted white kitchen cupboards. I love light and bright but still soft and cozy. Fun to see new trends though. I enjoy them all even if not my personal vibe!🌸🌸🌸🩷❄️☃️
I painted my kitchen cabinets myself in Nantucket blue last year because I loved it and now I'm seeing that color on cabinets everywhere . I also painted all my walls white. It's amazing how you can transform a space with paint.
I loved the warm Reds that came out for Christmas decor. It truly enhanced my warm red sofa and loveseat. Funny, because red is not a favorite color of mine. I'm so ready to switch up my living room to dark purple walls and apple green sofa. We'll see, as I have to replace a deck come Spring! ❤
My favourite is the natural materials. I love love light wood with white and plants where I can. Would not go for any of the more colourful looks but would totally love a coffee station, hope I can do something this year too
I am in LOVE with the natural trend, especially the wood cabinetry in the kitchen!! I hope to refinish our cabinets, half natural wood, half rich green 💚 I think mixing grandpa chic and romance core would be stunning 😍 Thanks for sharing this with us, its always inspiring to see what's going on in home decor. Happy New Year 💖 🤗
Interesting! ThaT very first picture in the darker room with the leather pie es looked a.lot like a country style. Which I love and always will. Great ideas you gave us thanks
I visited Ringwood Manor in New Jersey. It showcased a Victorian Christmas Each room had a color scheme and all had a huge fireplace and Christmas tree decorated as shown above. I love reading Romance novels,all Eras and I felt transported to that era. Thanks for sharing these trends with us 🥰
Hmm. I haven't bought paint in a year or so, and yes, prices were climbing... but I highly doubt they've gone quite that high here in west-central WI, or at least, that the paints where I shop have. So, NOT saying this to argue or nit-pick, just so others who haven't ever bought pain or haven't in 30 years, don't give up before checking their local home improvement stores ! I once bought a higher-end, paint-store brand from their storefront, partly for the amazing service I'd been hearing about ( as a company and as vrs. big box store, the type of help you can get... not that particular store in my town), and I later felt foolish and regretted it. I mean, unless the worker at Menards wouldn't have been able to do that grey in an 80 % saturation (or whatever the term is), as that part DID work out superbly. Anyway, I'd previously - in former home- gotten/used Pittsburgh paints paint&primer in one, and it was every bit as wonderful to use and covered up a daker, (sponge-painted in 3 colors) living room with only 2 coats. Looked wonderful, got a lot of compliments, loved the "feel" of the paint as I used it, too. Now, they are a little more expensive than Dutch boy, which that same store also carries, and I have used that too and I guess I'd say I noticed I liked the P.P. more, but didn't DIS-like the D.B. . With one exception. Using D.B.'s cabinet paint. Oh, my, goodness ! Awful, awful experience trying to paint our bathroom cabinets. Finally, for some reason ( think my husband knew something, suggested it) went to a local, small towm store specializing in home remodeling type things and tried their brand of paint for that. Much, much better ! But just regular interior paint, whether semi gloss or satin, for walls, I'd had no issue and also loved their "porch and floor" paint for our basement stairs. Great stuff, as of 10 yrs ago. So, my point is that unless doing a trickier paint like for bathroom cabinets/enamels ( thick and tacky and can't work it long, may have to add water to use it at all, but be careful), most cheaper brands of paints are probably good. You can ask for samples. Nowadays many will only sell you a quart for a sample, so ask what their sample size and price is, 1st ! Also find out if they (or you local habitat for humanity re-store) has a "returned paint" shelf. Always full cans, that I know of. Check Craigslist or FB MP too, for ( not necessarily full) cans and paills !
After everyone's spent the last 15 or so years painting their kitchen cabinets, now the wood look is back. Fooled you! Those busy wallpapers give me anxiety! Wall clutter. I detested them in the 60s/70s, and these are awful, too. They give me a headache. I like some of the grandpa chic and natural looks. Calm, comfortable, relaxing, uncluttered.
`Big project for me this year : paint the library in dark blue. Could you make a video of how to choose a rug for a livingroom. I have difficulty to chose one, what are the things to look for etc. Thank you
Grandpa chic is marginally better than the Grandma chic, it is terrible. Wallpaper is a quick way to do something that will quickly become dated, just like the farmhouse trend. Marble and natural materials are forever beautiful. Romance core is for single women only, no man would appreciate living in that.
Yeah, I'll be passing on the majority of these trends, not for me at all. Hopefully they won't last too long. 🤞🏼 My home has very little natural light, so dark colors are out and busy wall paper...um, no. I'm finally changing out some of these to brighter spaces slightly more modern styles.
Hi! Thank you for all of the great ideas. I want to try peel and stick wallpaper on one wall in my bathroom. Would you recommend peel and stick in a bathroom that will have some humidity? And if so, do you recommend a certain brand? Thank you!!
Again I’m a neutral home gal -some rustic and farmhouse since I live in the country -and decorate with my quilts and shams and handmade decor seasonally. Thanks for sharing !
the grandpa chic basically looks Ralph Lauren who uses plaid and warm colors. I am not using reds on my walls, never!! terra cotta maybe. I do love wallpaper however....
Great summary, I love darker moodier colours, unfortunately as renters we are restricted as to what colours or wall treatments we can apply. So probably I am a mix of grandpa chic, nature inspired (loooove greens, darker wood tones and plants) and old world european styles. How would you translate this for renters?😊
Ditto on what they said ( and I'm betting that's a typo and it should read "peel and stick wallpaper", just in case anyone doesn't know about that option nowadays). Another idea is wall hanging of textiles with limited hooks - those sticky hook things, the stronger ones, aren't free ! - or holes in the wall, by hanging a wooden dowel ( or any lightweight, sturdy material ) from one hook, by rope looping over, attached to each end of the dowel. Possibly by drilling a hole through, in each end ( near the end, not too close, so end doesn't split) of the dowel so it's very secure. Anyway, by sewing loops onto, or otherwise securing a large piece of fabric to the dowel, you can cover one wall pretty easily and possibly a lot less costly than peel and stick wallpaper ( the one I fell in love with would of added up to too much, for me :( ). You can use anything - look in the linens section of goodwill - or stamp, paint or etc. on a canvass painter's tarp ( ask for floor protection for painting at local home improvement stores, it's there somewhere).
It would be lovely to use these dark paints on a wall ..but here in the uk our rooms and houses are not as big as your rooms so it makes your rooms very dark ..so you can only use soft furnishing to get this look and it still does not look right …it makes your rooms look even smaller 😢
Thirth video about trending this year i see creator’s opinions are different i guess is their personal opinion even names of styles are different only one in common is natural elements and mid wood tones🤷🏻♀️
I soooo wish I was brave enough for red walls. I think a red room in the right, rich shade is beautiful. But, I am not that brave. 😊 I do love a pretty red throw pillow or blanket to give just a little hint of red in the room though.
Lovely, thank you so much for such good ideas. I am somewhere between old Victorian and a sexy goth... in my bedroom with a chiffon canopy on my bed and fluffy ruffle bedspread, lot of velvet... blush and off white colors with a bit of dusty blue... I think I want to bring that soft feminine feel into my living room. I would love a tea station, honey and many teas with beautiful cups. This was fun to watch and again, thank you!!!!
😂 neato -- my dining room i painted darkish red in 2009 came back on trend. i loved seeing the trends! thank you! you've always inspired me to try peel & stick wallpaper--you make those spaces so lovely 💖 love the romance-core, but also wish i had a dreamy grandpa-core "study"/library. again, tfs 😊
I appreciate a darker look however i forsee that a lot of primer is going to be needed in a few years when everyone decides to cover their moody, dark colors.
I recommend that you use the base color of the accent wall paper as the paint color of the room to increase cohesiveness and continuity. It will look more designer and less “I threw some wall paper up on a wall”.
Coffee bar is the best thing ever. I dream of it for so long. I hope we will have our own house the next year so I can make myself my coffee and baverage bar 😍
Of my friend group growing up I was always considered the girlie girl( ballet classes, make-up and heels) just not fussy. I wasn’t afraid to climb trees, ride horses and bikes or just get dirty. So grandma chic/cottage core is not my thing. But I can totally get behind grandpa chic. I love English library style as well. If I lived alone it would be e Dark Academia everywhere. Aubergine, forest green, navy and old gold.
Love Jane Austen, and I even bought my oldest grown daughter a book filled with all Austen's stories that I found at Costco. Authentic historical period pieces like Austen's stories are my favorite. Like movies made of her stories with Emma Thompson and Keira Knightley. I don't like it when classics are rewritten to fit today's narratives, and go against the truth of the time period that the story was written in. I saw an ad for some ridiculous "Woke" show from England, supposedly based on Jane Austen's work, yet not at all based in reality. Or facts. I won't be watching it. Just like I refuse to watch Bridgerton. I prefer more than just accuracy in period costumes. That's all that seems to matter these days. That the clothing of the time period is exactly right. But not about the people wearing them in that time period, in that country the story is about. European history is being rewritten.
HNY Christina! Some nice ideas, I’m more drawn to the natural elements style! I’m having a new tub and vanity installed starting Monday and will be buying tiles similar to what you have, less pattern as I already have that look on the floor, so exciting doing small upgrades around the house!
Sure enough☺️ my home is back in style, never left cozy traditional…And after being married for decades, what I have is Already vintage! Glad to see it being considered again, it’s timeless, Not trendy.😊
I dont do trends as I can't afford to change it out constantly. I do enjoy watching though. ❤
I don't follow trends. I do what I love.
🥳 I did "grandpa chic" without even knowing it😂
The “Little Women” aesthetic would be Civil War poverty where Meg and Jo hid their spoiled gloves and shared a single pair. That’s a far cry from Romance Core. More literature, less Hallmark. 😂
Totally agree (as Little Women is one of my all-time favorite books) but I think what Christina is going for here is just the idea (definitely in the book) where you pay attention to your space and do whatever is within your means to make it beautiful and cheerful (which often meant fresh flowers from the garden). 😊 It’s not my personal aesthetic for my home (I lean more towards mid-century modern and/or Craftsman/Arts and Crafts) but do like to look at it. 😊
@@kristinapreedy7069I’m English and I believe the Arts and Craft style is one of the best styles to come out of England.

Paint makes a huge difference!

In 1993, i was 23 and had just bought a small house, 1200 sq ft. I painted my dining room red and loved it.
My favourite is the natural materials. I love love light wood with white and plants where I can. Would not go for any of the more colourful looks but would totally love a coffee station, hope I can do something this year too
I love the pink and the marble

What is the wall color and woodwork in Trend 7?
Great summary, I love darker moodier colours, unfortunately as renters we are restricted as to what colours or wall treatments we can apply. So probably I am a mix of grandpa chic, nature inspired (loooove greens, darker wood tones and plants) and old world european styles. How would you translate this for renters?😊
Do it with your furnishings, furniture and art. That way you can take it with you if you move.
I'd use the trending colours in textiles, or try some peel and stick products (always testing them on the surface first)!
Ditto on what they said ( and I'm betting that's a typo and it should read "peel and stick wallpaper", just in case anyone doesn't know about that option nowadays). Another idea is wall hanging of textiles with limited hooks - those sticky hook things, the stronger ones, aren't free ! - or holes in the wall, by hanging a wooden dowel ( or any lightweight, sturdy material ) from one hook, by rope looping over, attached to each end of the dowel.

Too busy for me….i would get tired of the busy look….pop of color yes but a flood of it not so much…
I just subscribe! You are First one to say do you! Luv modern style is going out! So boring! Thanks! Enjoy your weekend! 🤗🥰
Perfect time of year to thrift home decor. Over the holidays is a perfect time to purge...and make space for new trends! Cheers from Vancouver Island.
I cannot keep up with the treands. But purging is always a very good thing!
Great video; thank you!
I really love the decorating trend Romancecore.
Idk about "gran'pa" chick lol itd make me feel like I'm living in his house, not mine 😅

Great video! I’m with you on the white kitchen, but I still love seeing the trends even if don’t adopt all of them.😊
Thanks for sharing, Christina ❤
Romance core vs. Cottage core? Lots of overlap. And then there's the Forest core which overlaps cottage core and brings more of the outdoors in.
Yes, lots of overlap!
@thediymommy really enjoyed your video. You sparked a ton of creative inspiration. For the Natural inspiration, I love the book "Down to Earth".
I lide everything but the modern look.
Happy new year! 🎉 I love all your tips! ❤ Thanks for the motivation as I need to re-do my boys rooms! 😊
Grandpa Chic and Romance Core in my house for sure.
Love these ideas.
