Some of you have asked for the apartment update and the flood story! So if you don't know, there was a burst pipe in the unit above me back in November and my apartment completely flooded and I had to move into this Airbnb. Not great - especially when you run an interior design youtube channel for a living and your home is your set! So all my hardwood floors, casings, baseboards and doors had to be replaced. We've had to change our contractor once and it's been a challenge working with the insurance company, but now we will be moving back into our apartment in the next 2-3 weeks. Oh, and YES, there will be a house tour!
Captions spell it "pompous grass" which makes it sound far more pretentious than it is! Watch out if you have pets, some find it irresistible to chew on.
We installed a black terrazzo-look solid surface as our kitchen countertops way back in 1999. 22 years later & I’m still in love with it & get compliments when people come over. Bonus: it hides all manner of schmutz.
Yes! I think our school had fake terrazzo (or maybe just cheap?) because it didn't look as nice as the pictures in the video. But it does remind me of school lol
It's insanely expensive too, I saw a nate& jeremiah ep where they were adding it into a mcm home and it was like 50k since they're hard to find good applicators 🤯😱
@@nanamiharuka3269 Our window sills are terazzo. The house was built in 1958 and they still look great. The examples in this video were quite dramatic, though, so I can see myself getting tired of them.
“Trends I love” Nick is your supportive friend that says “it’s ok to be basic” and “Trends that need to go” Nick is your tough love friend that says “burn that marshmallow couch” 🤣
When renovating my house I found a beautiful terra cotta terrazzo floor underneath the tile and gross carpet. It’s actually the slab of the house. I’m having it restored and I’m in love!! 🥰
I love the concept of Wabi-Sabi. Aside from the sustainable design benefits, there's a relief of the pressure of having to be perfect and like everyone else.
My middle school had terrazzo floors. It was built in an era when architects thought windows were too distracting, so the classrooms were laid out in a honeycomb pattern with no windows, and every corridor looked the same. Now when I see terrazzo, I only see depression lol.
Lol, same. I grew up in a post-soviet country, so terrazzo = every government building = depression. Except it was real marble, but it was still ugly af.
I was doing a casual real estate search in my area (just curious about what was currently on the market) and I saw this house that looked really great, except for the color. The entire interior seemed to be grey on grey on grey. I felt like I was looking at the most depressing space ever.
I like your strong comment. Our previous houses have had white, warm white, off white, pale beige, light taupe, and a few rooms have occasionally had actual color. Our current house has 12x12 light gray tile floors throughout so we went with a very very pale gray on the walls, also throughout. Our taste is clean, simple contemporary and MCM and there is at least one natural wood furniture piece in every room and very little clutter or dust catching knick knacks. Our art is mostly paintings and prints created by friends and a few vintage pieces. I felt like you and have always been against gray walls but it made sense to use it in this one. What has happened is that the color gray we chose seems to recede from you noticing it and yet it enhances what is in front of it so the art comes forward and the woods seem richer and become stand ins for sculpture. It was the right choice for us.
Would love to see a video about how to incorporate Wabi-Sabi and Japanese simplicity into the boring, cookie cutter homes and apartments so many of us are kind of stuck with here in the Western hemisphere ✌
I love trends you love and trends you hate equally 💛 I’d love to see a video on how to incorporate elements of current trends without going all out so that it quickly becomes dated (for example I love warm neutral, minimal Scandi design but I don’t want to redo my apartment only to have it looking a bit naff in a year’s time!). 😊
I know! Nick starts talking about something and I am saying YES! He has made me fearless. If Nick likes it (or doesn't) my confidence goes way up because I so often feel the same.
@@Nick_Lewis totally agree. Also you gave me a major confidence boost when you did the paint colors of 2021 video. I went out on a limb 4 years ago and painted my dining room very pale pink above the vintage wallpaper lower half (chair rail). Now I'm like what's up people. 😏
I love the shorter videos too! Love your quick wit, that you talk fast and that you don’t take yourself(or designing) sooooooo serious!-all while designing and creating beautiful and functional spaces! Some designers have such over-elevated egos they come across as condescending with a “superior” attitude when talking about design, unable to connect it to what matters most to me-how the design makes me feel! Glad you’re not like that ! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ ⭐️
This is great. I am a fellow interior designer and I would hold my breath every time a client came in to do a kitchen or bathroom remodel to see what they were thinking. I would try to guide them to a little out of their comfort zone.
Would love a video on what happened with the flood in your home and how you’re going to redecorate! We had a fire back in November and you really helped me realize I love the Scandi design style! 🖤 love your videos
When I see slat walls I just see a nightmare. As someone who cleans their own home and has dust allergies, I just see them as dust collectors and very difficult to keep clean.
It's a nightmare even without allergy. I don't want to spend too much time dusting an entire wall ! Imagine : you have to carry a huge ladder and push it every half inch to catch every corner..
haha I totally get that. I think maybe what I didn't get across in this video (because it was less of a tips video) was that a lot of the interesting things with warm neutrals are all the added textures and different tones of beige. So yes it is beige, but I think what sells it for me is all the different tones and textures that make it visually interesting.
Beige is awful when it’s all beige and nothing else. I find it’s great when it’s a backdrop for other colours, though. Cool or warm, rich jewel tones or medium tones, they all give the lure to a beige space. And unlike a deeply coloured wall, you don’t regret it in a few months.
I’m so happy that I stumbled across your channel! I love interior design and any inspiration to decorate and LOVE my home. Thank you and now I have to watch “all” your previous videos. 🤍
The walls of our 1940's house are mamposteria, which means rock that has been mortared together and then a skim coat of concrete, like a "frosting", is applied over it so the walls are smooth. Our architect convinced us to consider removing the skim coat so we chose to do that in the dining room and master bedroom walls. Pow, instant feature walls. The native stone is limestone and you can see small fossil shells in some of the rocks when you look closely. Our ceilings are 11 ft and the stone covers the entire walls. We love it and the walls get a lot of compliments from everyone who's seen them.
What a relief! I particularly love that imperfection is finally being recognized as being potentially beautiful. Bring some individual personality into a home with color and imperfect pieces. Also, I'm really intrigued by the slat walls. I love your videos.
Yes, you do love & hate videos very well. It feels like talking to a knowledgeable friend who is just telling it like it is. This could be a very popular series. I'd watch 'em! Greetings from Berlin.
Thank you so much for all of your videos! My wife and I lost our house in one of the Oregon wild fires in 2020. We are extremely lucky to have found another place, but I have been struggling to be excited and inspired in the new space. Your videos have helped take some of the stress out, inspired me and helped me see this as an opportunity to start fresh with a vision 🥰
Instinctually, I feel that the trending imperfections of the wabi-sabi style is an evolution of the distressed shabby chic that was so popular for so long.
I think I'd like the wabi sabi stuff to a certain degree but like w shabby chic people r probably gonna waaay to overboard to distress things that don't need to be and buy paint chipped barnyard signs
I totally agree with you three. I like the Japanese concept. What I don’t like is buying things pre-damaged then repaired. It’s the same as buying fake weathered furniture or pre-distressed jeans. It never looks authentic. Sort of tasteless actually.
Thanks for another helpful video! Regarding allergies and pampas grass, one trick is to spray the fronds(?) with hairspray. It was actually suggested as a way to make them stay as styled but I think it would work well for allergies.
I do love pampas grass, to me that’s a timeless trend. They’re also sentimental, my Dad used to take me on trail rides as a baby & pick them for me bc I’d reach out for them, always found them to be magical/whimsical, like giant natural paintbrushes 🤷♀️🎨
+1 for warm neutrals. Trends may come and go, but I've always used warm neutrals for the foundation of my home. To me they are like a blanket on cold day: comforting and reassuring.
I live in a home, era ‘63, it has beautiful terrazzo tile in the plant room. Love it, timeless and classic! However, the pampas grass turns me off! Every woman had a ceramic pot of it in their home in the 70’s! Looks disgusting when it collects dust, lol! My mother always said, all styles come back eventually, and she was right! Im only 62 and I’ve lived thru several!! Just hoping the floral print sofa never comes back!!!!
Great ideas! I love your approach to design. I’m working on slowly “designing” my house and finding things I love to bring in and I really appreciate your insight! Yes to more cool new trends!!
I love this video learning about styles I had never heard of. I will still stick with my clean gray and white, but have always added a pop of color in with that. The gray and white is timeless in my opinion but do need options for adding color to what I call my base. Love your videos!!!
My heart goes out to you on the flood... been there, done that. Sprinkler in the condo above me was accidentally broken and rained filthy water down by the gallon. The only upshot was great insurance and a total refresh - new walls and paint, new ceilings, new floors and carpets. I sympathise regarding the contractors but the bad taste leaves once you have lived in your new home for awhile. Good luck and enjoy your "new" home.
I totally agree with you viewpoint on terrazzo. I'm so over "colored" concrete and ceramic tile in public areas. Most of the interesting buildings I grew up around had these types of floors and some still to this day have style that is timeless.
I'm so excited I'm on trend for once! I just finished buying up an 8 place set of Mexican Blue Glass in tall, short, Martini, and Brandy glasses which I love. I have always loved this glassware ever since I was a little girl because each cup is completely unique and special. None of them are the exact same shape or exactly the same thickness or even the same exact shade of blue around the top rim because they're all handmade in Mexico and none of them are uniform but they are amazing and fun to look at and I love that the imperfections of housewares is in style.
Thanks for the terrazzo tip. I need to redo a bathroom and remove the old 70s tile and outdated wall paper. The terrazzo you were showing really would brighten up the space much more than a solid tile we were looking at.
Thank You so much! We have been looking for a long term outside stairs solution for months, and couldn't agree on anything. Finally, because of your video, we have chosen Terrazzo deesign. You reminded us about this long forgotten style. Lots of love from Serbia!
I love the look of vertical slat walls BUT all I can think when I see them is how much dust must be collecting in those slats and those would be a huge pain to clean! I’m 100% with you on all of the other trends though. Terrazzo is GORGEOUS
Your videos are so informative and useful during my kitchen renovation. I am so overwhelmed, don't want to select something overdone or going out. Your videos are greatly helping me to narrow down what I do like, not just what everyone else is doing. I love your video style as well. Thank you.
Thank you for being one of the only design folks to comment about pampas grass/dried florals not being great for allergy sufferers/asthma and contributing to poor air quality (not NIAD approved!!)--- sincerely your friendly lung biologist 😘👌 same for heavy woven textiles that you can't EVER clean 🤦♀️
I have a large woven basket, filled with reeds. I have several large pampas grass plants in my yard, so a couple of years ago, I cut some of the frilly-fronds off and sprayed them with hair-spray to keep them from deteriorating or spreading fuzzy 'fall-off', and placed them in with the reeds. The effect is much more interesting, and I don't have to worry about allergies.
Yes! Hairspray is the way to go for pampa and other shedding dry plants, a neighbor tought me that like 40 years ago, when it was also a "trend" , like macramé, cane, rattan, etc. So the 70´s are back!!!! :)
@@carolinacarsolio5476 It - and they - still work, unlike so much of '70s interior decor. It's not shag carpets, avocado green/burnt orange furniture and/or kitchen appliances, or badly paneled walls. :)
Our house in Sri Lanka back in the 80s had terrazo flooring, first time I am hearing someone mention this as an option. Terrazo is easy to maintain and looks great!
Those Japandi pictures in your video!!! 😍😍😍 I need to find a way to wrap my head around embracing imperfections. It would make my existence so much more enjoyable. Lol. Thanks for another great video! Great topic! 👍
Love the Japanese reference to design here, I have long admired the philosophy Kintsugi ie filling a broken piece of pottery with gold & regarding it as being more beautiful for having been broken. It is such a metaphor for life, and actually now reflecting upon it - is accurate for my RUclips, which is all about skincare❣️ Had not thought about that until now, so thank you for that.
*Totally down for embracing imperfection* ! I love going to thrift stores and Facebook Marketplace to find vintage pieces that are unique, and they usually have a tinge of patina on them, which makes me love them more!
I like the warm neutrals cozy but still have brought in a bit of museum vibe by adding sculpture vase, marble, and art ... Through pandemic I miss going to museums
I'm slowly getting better at keeping a plant alive. Got one as a housewarming/Christmas gift and it's still alive! Maybe I'll bring in another but I didn't get the point of having plants until I got one. They really do give some life to a space.
As one who "suffers" a bit from perfectionism, I love the trend of embracing the beauty of imperfect items/decor. A "lived in" looking space is WAY more inviting than one that looks like a museum. I just need to keep reminding myself of that! GREAT video and I look forward to your next one!
Thanks Nick. Great videos. If possible please show more of these warm neutrals and how we can mix and match the colours. I'm so used to seeing cool neutrals that I don't know where to begin with warm colors. Much love from South Africa.
Went to Target today--they have some very cute and chic terrazzo stuff in their outdoor section--planters, trays, etc. I saw black w flecks of white and orange and white w flecks of blue and green.
Nick has become one of my fave you tubers. loved this video. Love the japandi trends and the warm neutrals. I also love bringing in some vintage in decore- something old - something new to balance everything out
We recently renovated a home. Time and money constraints led us to white walls, white trim, white painted floors, white cabinets. (We did all the work ourselves.) But first let me say, I used slightly different whites on the various surfaces and various sheens, so it doesn't look sterile. With our furnishing in place (I do French/Gustavian style), we got tons of compliments on our home during the holiday open house we held. IMHO, white is a classic. You truly can't tell what decade it is. It's not trendy...and we're quite happy with that.
Yesss I love all of these trends!! Especielly terazzo - I just need to find the perfect way to incorporate it into my home! Keep up the good work Nick 🖤

So happy for you guys that you can move back in soon! Flooding is awful. Love seeing your videos on Saturdays!
What an awful
Thing to go through. I hope you get to go home soon!
Thank you for talking quickly and not having ridiculously long intros like so many content creators!!
Yes!!! I always check the time stamp and some creators go on for 5 minutes before they get to content!
I was just thinking the same!
He's great!
I hate long intros too. we dont need them 😁
Agree!!!
Im here for the pampas and slat walls!!!!
yasss it feels so 70s 80s but with a modern twist
Nobody asked, hehe ;)

Yessss love countertops that hide schmutz so when folks come over unannounced you're not running to scrub your counters 😜 #reallife
Kitchen FLOORS, dot it out into a solid color scheme, for continuity in joining to other surfaces. Sweet!
My childhood home had it as flooring. Great for messy little kids who wanted to spill and colour on everything 😅😂
It's timeless because it's cool 😎😍
Our floors were terrazo back in the 90's I would always think it was the most gorgeous flooring we ever had
Terrazzo always reminds me of public buildings. My old school had acres of it.
Yes! I think our school had fake terrazzo (or maybe just cheap?) because it didn't look as nice as the pictures in the video. But it does remind me of school lol
It's insanely expensive too, I saw a nate& jeremiah ep where they were adding it into a mcm home and it was like 50k since they're hard to find good applicators 🤯😱
Yeah I feel like it would age terribly, so maybe furniture/decor pieces would be better so they're easy to swap out when it gets tired
The floor of the Denver airport is terrazzo. I loved it.

I love this... it is so true!
When renovating my house I found a beautiful terra cotta terrazzo floor underneath the tile and gross carpet. It’s actually the slab of the house. I’m having it restored and I’m in love!! 🥰
What a lucky find!
How does the restoration process work? 2 of our bathrooms have very poorly upkept terrazzo floors, and I've just been looking at them in disdain.
@@lindsayfindley6962 By sanding, polishing, and varnishing like a parquet flooring. If chipped it could be filled with epoxy fillers.
I love the concept of Wabi-Sabi. Aside from the sustainable design benefits, there's a relief of the pressure of having to be perfect and like everyone else.
Same here! I'd definitely recommend this great video on Japanese pottery makers ruclips.net/video/r9uNWxBpJuE/видео.html

“If you enjoy it then you put it in your home. Who cares what anybody else thinks.” 👏🏻👏🏻 I agree with all your Trend Picks. They are all beautiful!
Yes to warm neutrals!! Lord, get rid of every shade of gray!!! It’s so cold and just mimics the times we live in with pandemic.
Agree... out with the gray and in with warm neutrals
I was doing a casual real estate search in my area (just curious about what was currently on the market) and I saw this house that looked really great, except for the color. The entire interior seemed to be grey on grey on grey. I felt like I was looking at the most depressing space ever.
I like your strong comment. Our previous houses have had white, warm white, off white, pale beige, light taupe, and a few rooms have occasionally had actual color. Our current house has 12x12 light gray tile floors throughout so we went with a very very pale gray on the walls, also throughout. Our taste is clean, simple contemporary and MCM and there is at least one natural wood furniture piece in every room and very little clutter or dust catching knick knacks. Our art is mostly paintings and prints created by friends and a few vintage pieces. I felt like you and have always been against gray walls but it made sense to use it in this one. What has happened is that the color gray we chose seems to recede from you noticing it and yet it enhances what is in front of it so the art comes forward and the woods seem richer and become stand ins for sculpture. It was the right choice for us.
Grey reminds me of the pan rooms that I spent so much time in during early nursing days
@Jjjj Llll Yes the room where we did all the yucky stuff....always grey
I'm watching with captions and imagining what 'pompous grasses' would be like to live with 😄
Pampas lol
Insufferable, no doubt.

“Warm neutral” is a brilliant rebrand of beige, but I am completely unconvinced. Beige by any other name is still ... beige.
But without a cool rebrand name, the grey tone people will never be swayed to cross over.

Same in italy. So granma house. Childhood trauma
I totally agree with you viewpoint on terrazzo. I'm so over "colored" concrete and ceramic tile in public areas. Most of the interesting buildings I grew up around had these types of floors and some still to this day have style that is timeless.
My apartment building is from the 60's and has lots of terrazzo furnishings in the common areas, but without overdoing it. I LOVE IT.
I'm so excited I'm on trend for once! I just finished buying up an 8 place set of Mexican Blue Glass in tall, short, Martini, and Brandy glasses which I love. I have always loved this glassware ever since I was a little girl because each cup is completely unique and special. None of them are the exact same shape or exactly the same thickness or even the same exact shade of blue around the top rim because they're all handmade in Mexico and none of them are uniform but they are amazing and fun to look at and I love that the imperfections of housewares is in style.
Big fan of wabi-sabi in my DIYs
Thanks for the terrazzo tip. I need to redo a bathroom and remove the old 70s tile and outdated wall paper. The terrazzo you were showing really would brighten up the space much more than a solid tile we were looking at.
“People will call you basic, but who cares ...” I spit my tea out of my mouth hahaha
Loving warm cozy earth tones. 💖✨
Thank You so much! We have been looking for a long term outside stairs solution for months, and couldn't agree on anything. Finally, because of your video, we have chosen Terrazzo deesign. You reminded us about this long forgotten style.
Lots of love from Serbia!
TY I am 65 years old and I LOVE terrazzo too.
I loved that vertical wall separating the space. I'm done with open concept.
I love the look of vertical slat walls BUT all I can think when I see them is how much dust must be collecting in those slats and those would be a huge pain to clean!
I’m 100% with you on all of the other trends though. Terrazzo is GORGEOUS
Yeah that is a concern for sure - with any textured wall.
Your videos are so informative and useful during my kitchen renovation. I am so overwhelmed, don't want to select something overdone or going out. Your videos are greatly helping me to narrow down what I do like, not just what everyone else is doing. I love your video style as well. Thank you.
Another great video! Can’t wait to see you back at your place and getting to actually show us your style and things you love!
I am ready to go! 2 weeks apparently!
I love the pampas and other dried things in wedding bouquets too
Thank you for being one of the only design folks to comment about pampas grass/dried florals not being great for allergy sufferers/asthma and contributing to poor air quality (not NIAD approved!!)--- sincerely your friendly lung biologist 😘👌 same for heavy woven textiles that you can't EVER clean 🤦♀️
Watching your videos makes me happy. Thank you ☀️
I have a large woven basket, filled with reeds. I have several large pampas grass plants in my yard, so a couple of years ago, I cut some of the frilly-fronds off and sprayed them with hair-spray to keep them from deteriorating or spreading fuzzy 'fall-off', and placed them in with the reeds. The effect is much more interesting, and I don't have to worry about allergies.
Yes! Hairspray is the way to go for pampa and other shedding dry plants, a neighbor tought me that like 40 years ago, when it was also a "trend" , like macramé, cane, rattan, etc. So the 70´s are back!!!! :)
@@carolinacarsolio5476 It - and they - still work, unlike so much of '70s interior decor. It's not shag carpets, avocado green/burnt orange furniture and/or kitchen appliances, or badly paneled walls. :)
Our house in Sri Lanka back in the 80s had terrazo flooring, first time I am hearing someone mention this as an option. Terrazo is easy to maintain and looks great!
I am obsessed with your videos. I’ve watched all of them multiple times and I’m totally ok with that.
I LOVE terrazzo!!!! Hope it never goes out of style!!
Those Japandi pictures in your video!!! 😍😍😍 I need to find a way to wrap my head around embracing imperfections. It would make my existence so much more enjoyable. Lol.
Thanks for another great video! Great topic! 👍
Right!?! I love it so much!
I love your attitude about using what we each like in our homes! That's REAL and also kind. 😘
Also, I'm so excited about warm neutrals.
I love the terrazzo - the slat walls - I wish there were applications for these in my house - I just enjoy your videos
Nick,Can you please do a video on mixing styles to make your space look good and not a hot mess!🤔
Love the Japanese reference to design here, I have long admired the philosophy Kintsugi ie filling a broken piece of pottery with gold & regarding it as being more beautiful for having been broken. It is such a metaphor for life, and actually now reflecting upon it - is accurate for my RUclips, which is all about skincare❣️ Had not thought about that until now, so thank you for that.
Always loved terrazo, terrazo floors with glass, so much promise
*Totally down for embracing imperfection* ! I love going to thrift stores and Facebook Marketplace to find vintage pieces that are unique, and they usually have a tinge of patina on them, which makes me love them more!
There is a huge difference between a gorgeous patina and broken china on your coffee table !
I like the warm neutrals cozy but still have brought in a bit of museum vibe by adding sculpture vase, marble, and art ... Through pandemic I miss going to museums
I was about to go to bed but now I MUST watch your new video!
Yes! Great video!!! Love the neutrals and pampas grass
I love imperfections! They can be the most interesting thing about an object. It is often very artistic and unique and lends an impression of age.
I'm slowly getting better at keeping a plant alive. Got one as a housewarming/Christmas gift and it's still alive! Maybe I'll bring in another but I didn't get the point of having plants until I got one. They really do give some life to a space.
As one who "suffers" a bit from perfectionism, I love the trend of embracing the beauty of imperfect items/decor. A "lived in" looking space is WAY more inviting than one that looks like a museum. I just need to keep reminding myself of that! GREAT video and I look forward to your next one!
Thanks Nick. Great videos. If possible please show more of these warm neutrals and how we can mix and match the colours. I'm so used to seeing cool neutrals that I don't know where to begin with warm colors. Much love from South Africa.
Went to Target today--they have some very cute and chic terrazzo stuff in their outdoor section--planters, trays, etc. I saw black w flecks of white and orange and white w flecks of blue and green.
realistic view on trends in general. Love the idea of a 'trends I love" series. Great Video, thanks for sharing.
Nick has become one of my fave you tubers. loved this video. Love the japandi trends and the warm neutrals. I also love bringing in some vintage in decore- something old - something new to balance everything out
Nick, this was a GREAT video. I would love more of them on trends - both ones you love and don’t love. 👍🏼😍
We recently renovated a home. Time and money constraints led us to white walls, white trim, white painted floors, white cabinets. (We did all the work ourselves.) But first let me say, I used slightly different whites on the various surfaces and various sheens, so it doesn't look sterile. With our furnishing in place (I do French/Gustavian style), we got tons of compliments on our home during the holiday open house we held. IMHO, white is a classic. You truly can't tell what decade it is. It's not trendy...and we're quite happy with that.
Thanks for all you tips! I am loving your channel. More, more, more.
Love them all!!! 💗
I love terrazzo too. It's so pretty!
Yes to more videos of trends you love! You have great content on this channel.
Loved this video. A whole playlist? Yes please!
You ticked all the boxes on my favorites list. Love this!
I love this! Although I enjoy a good "I hate list" a list of what someone loves is refreshing.🥰
Yes on the vertical slats!
I really love the way you present your ideas
Yesss I love all of these trends!! Especielly terazzo - I just need to find the perfect way to incorporate it into my home! Keep up the good work Nick 🖤
can't agree more with you, Nick. 5/5 my favourite trends too.
I have 1950s paneling that I thought was wallpaper at first because it’s small, tight vertical lines. I love it!
Oh I watched the project talk about that spin studio on House of Bohn! It looks so good!
I love terrazzo!! So glad you mentioned it :)
