i love that most of these decor fixes are "communication". as someone who has always been very type-A with strong opinions, ive actually found that slowing down, hearing my partner out, and trying out his ideas that i might have initially thought 'no' to actually has been great. i chose him for a reason, and his ideas almost always win me over or work out really well. its also nice because he feels included and is happy, it took one decision off my list, and in the end it actually makes me happier ive found. anyway, whats the worst that could happen? we try a thing out and we dont like it, so we adjust it. thats how i as an individual figure out what i like, so why not extend that to us as a team? hopefully this made sense or resonates with someone out there :)
I can't believe it took me so long to find your channel. I love your topics, but most especially, the amount of snark in your commentary. It is just enough to have fun but never disrespectful. Well done!
I love your channel. Me and my husband rarely have any arguments when it comes to design, and your "How to display books" is probably a lot of the reason why 🤣I have a really narrow definition of clutter and prefer to not have any belongings visible apart from furniture (I know), but my s.o. loves displaying books and trinkets from travels around the world. We settled on putting away trinkets because it makes dusting a nightmare, but displaying his 1000 books in an organized way really helped decorating a way we were both happy with. Also, another ting we did that really helped was giving each other veto on certain things. For instance, I like pretty much all colors, so I said that if we can have a very tidy living room, you can choose any colour on the wall that you like. That worked out really well for us!
One thing that has helped us when decorating or chosing pieces for the home is to be sensitive to when some items are important to the other one. If that piece speak particularly much to my partner then it is important for me as well, even though I might have chosen differently if that was solely my decision. It is all about give and take but if one notice that something makes the partner particularly happy, it makes me happy also. If that happens to be an odd piece of furniture or decore it just makes the home more personal to us. If the piece is something you find ugly, just give it a cute or silly nickname and then it is easier to put on a smile when looking at it. And in time you will get used to it or even love it.
Posh, just wanted to take the time to thank you for the vid. I am an architect and you would think I could could do interiors, but no. I had a whole house to do, and you helped me out tons. Thanks. I understand what you are saying and your reasoning. BTW. I imagine you directed the vid, it was great, especially the acting. If the blond guy is your husband, he does look Scandinavian, I liked the acting because it was so natural, a bit of humor, but not over the top. Always great examples as well.
Another thing to consider is that most people have a couple (or more) design styles they really like, if you can find a style that both of them like, while it might not be either one's top choice, it can make the whole process so much easier to select the mutually agreeable design style, even if it's 3rd favorite style on both of their list.
A good idea we came up with when I kept having to put my office design purchase on hold was opening a spending allowance bank account. You can still use your shared account for main purchases or things under a certain amount. Things that require a personal splurge you use the personal account for. And you just put a certain amount in it every paycheck so that you’re not effecting any essential finances.
My husband and I thankfully agreed we are content with a more minimal british colonial design that ties in a scandi natural neutral undertone and lots of wood and plants. It's fitting as he is of Bangladeshi heritage and I'm of British heritage. So it's a nod to both our places of decent. Love your videos ! Thank you for all the amazing content your provide.
I had no idea you and pontypants were together! I watched a lot of his videos about a year or two back when I was doing game development and now I'm watching yours to make my place look nicer. Thank you both, love your channels
You are so right on the money - parden the pun - with all your advice. Great entertaining video too!!! I really got a kick out of it!! 😂 I've been fortunate for the most part, as my significant other never cared about how I decorated our home, as long as he got his "man cave" he was able to do whatever he wanted with. And actually, he always loves what I do with decorating in the home, and I'm impressed with how he has his "man cave.'👌
hahhahah i love this video. my husband doesn't know anything about decor so what ever style i say i want , he agrees because he knows its going to be beautiful. also i like to thrift but also like new stuffs, it saves us some coins.
Well these tips work only when both parties actually want to agree on something. My husband says NO to everything. He has no style and doesn't care about anything fancy. We agree on anything else in life, but when it comes to decorating our house, the only tip I can apply from your video is to sacrifice!! Anyway, at least I know I am not alone in this.
Reminding me of that old show Designing For The Sexes woth Michael Payne. Designer helped couples come together do a little compromise and get something they both loved.
Wow! First time watching a video that makes sense or is overlooked when home designing. These are all great points. Myself and hubby aren't there yet but I'm always asking him what colours or furniture he likes, which has surprised me because I had other ideas of what I thought he liked. Me thinking he would want his favourite colour, pale blue, instead in likes apricot😲 lol
I’m literally LOLing at this video because every impersonation you do is me and my husband. We just bought our home and really had to learn how to do this together! My husband is all about what is functional and I’m all about design!
I thought I had learned about a new decorating style, so I looked it up. It turns out "compromise" is not s decorating style. But it seemed like a good idea so I did it; I will decorate and my partner will pay for it. Win win!
Love the video! So happy to find out what to focus on when the time will come to move in with the SO. Would it be possible to have a video on how to decorate neo-classical as well?
My experience is this: Him: Let's spend 80% on a giant t.v. then we can decorate the living room around it. WalMart has sofa with cup holders. Me:. Kill me NOW! I'm divorced, btw...lol
I like folk, Maximalism and contemporary silhouettes and all he knows is that he is a minimalist likes the color green and plants (me too). I basically can do whatever I want as long as it doesn’t get too cluttery or overwhelming for him. But I also had furniture going into the relationship while he did not. It will interesting to see what happens if we get a house together down the line… hopefully I can handle it being an interior designer and all.
We just operated on the concept that we would find something we both liked eventually. Keep going until you do (sometimes for quite some time...) because if there is a winner and a loser, then there is no winner :) Some really great points in this video. You seem to offer a unique perspective in a forum where there is so much sameness!!
After watching this video i am Just more thankful that i am in charge of the style in our home 😂😂😂 i have decoratdd both maskulin and feminin. I have taken his intrest in considiration. I have decoratdd mostly natural. And i have hung some art pieces of hos favorite artist. 😊 We do agree ON budget.
I'm glad our priorities are different: my husband wants comfort, where I want a Scandinavian style. We just needed to find the intersect. The wishbone chair is not comfortable enough for him, but the cushy queen Ann chair is too traditional for me. So we settled for the white skirted chair from IKEA which is comfortable enough for him and Scandinavian enough for me.
Haven’t seen you talk about garages at all can you pls drive into house to make that space nicer? and I don’t see anyone talk about tech or smart home decor info if you have it pls
Stuck for over a year on bathroom color. Living with patches everywhere and a color we both don't like! Hoping he goes out of town so I can just paint it and...surprise...him 😁
When merging 2 residences into one - what worked for me was to keep the better quality furniture piece and the scale of furniture in relation to the room. Just be aware if you break up, one of you will be buying larger share of replacements...(lol....as in my case)
Eh, I've been feeling like I'm in a middle of a battle since we bought our dream home. We agree about the budget, but our sense of style is drastically different. I love warm minimalism, organic modern, midcentury modern, japandi. I want the space to feel cozy and earthy. I chose most of my dream furniture few years ago before we had our place and would love to stick to my choices, mostly some interior design classics created by Scandinavian designers in the 40s, 50s etc. My partner absolutely hates them. He says everything I like is 'grandma style'. He's not able to describe his own style, but he tends to like random crazy things he sees online. 'This lamp looks like an octopus. I want it.' Sometimes we visit designer's ateliers and he chooses the craziest most expensive thing in the store that doesn't even make sense for our space, such as our door handles for 270 usd/piece... But some of his ideas are interesting, for example he found out about fossil wood wash basins that we're getting for our bathroom. Fortunately usually both of us are willing to compromise, but not without a fight.
Decorating with a partner is very difficult, imho. Particularly when one needs more time to think about the purchase and the other is ready to buy right now. Very helpful video. Wish I'd seen it 30 years ago. ;-)
I have an idea: pick a partner who does not care about the décor. That way you can get everything you want, no arguments, and no compromising is necessary.
The number one thing that's getting me through designing and decorating our new home is that after hearing a few of his opinions and ideas, I told my husband that he cannot have any opinions whatsoever in this one area of our life! hahahahahahahahahahaha =P
I recently worked on decorating the entire apartment for my bf and myself. We're both very strong-minded individuals, however I'm the creative/stylish one, and he's very... pragmatic (that's a nicer way of saying "his taste levels are questionable"). He had a problem with imaging how all the pieces would come together in the end, especially since we bought 95% of furniture online. This trick helped me: Find a piece of furniture that you want to buy and you think it will work for your space. But DON'T show it to your partner yet. Instead, find few more options that you know your partner will hate much more than the initial pick you got. Once they discard all the other options, what's left is the piece you originally chose. And you can let them take the credit for choosing it. I was lucky in the way that my bf really liked some stuff I personally love and could work with (warm woods, mid-century, metals etc.) so this mind game trick was easy. In the end we ended up with an apartment that we both enjoy and love. Sometimes our partners just don't know what they like, or they have harder time verbalising it since they don't have that natural gift for the aesthetic and design/decor. If that's the case, show them a bunch of photos of homes and spaces, let them choose which one they like the most and then ask them to elaborate why they like it. Use those key words they used to describe their feelings to "sell" your pitch to them (for example "warm", "cozy", "sleek", "practical"). If you use the same vocabulary the chances are it will resonate more with them.
I remember (I may be killed for saying this) when men did not care about decor. And that was natural. My first boyfriend had some furniture from his previous house that he brought to ours, but to him sofa+TV and bed were the priorities, everything else was my territory and if I could afford a new couch, he wouldn't care. As long as he had a couch to watch tv. My father is the same. Couch+Tv and Bed. My mother does the rest. Later I had a boyfriend who did not let me hang a picture or bring anything of my own. "It's our house, I want you to feel like home (just don't bring your things)". And now that's the norm. Finally I'm free from all that. Being single, in my own house. So good not to have a discussion about everything. When I (rarely) go to IKEA and see those couples choosing and fighting, or she measuring everything while he thinks "I want my caveman". Uf.
I was wondering... Is there an easy way to budget for decorating/furnishing your house? - I imagine trying to budget room for room might break it down a little more too... I feel like budgeting would most definitely help but I am very much empowered by my sense of excitement over something significant. Say like, I find something that will be the *perfect* accent for a room or finding the *perfect* dining chair... if I see it as perfect, I would almost justify getting it despite the big price (and that's AFTER trying to look for other things that may be just as good.)
Time. If you have enough time (and willpower hahah), you can find nearly all the pieces you like or something similar for a lower price. I remember my aunt rummaging through 80% of house decor stores, shops and garage sales to get the exact things she wanted. She saved tons of money and has a great home rn but yeah, she did spend lo-o-ots of time on finding everything
Thanks for the video! What about when your significant other just doesn't care? I struggle with including things he likes and careful to not have spaces that feel to girly, but half the time I can't get him to engage in interior design ideas :/
I guess I’m lucky. With my husband if I get the nose wrinkle, I just have to make things a little clearer. If I get a resounding NO, there’s no hope and it’s time to find something else.
My fiancé and I are getting married in 3 months and he already owns a home. When he first proposed I began completely re doing his whole house. It looked like a frat house. It started with declutter and ended up with us painting and getting new furniture. It’s getting expensive and he’s getting stressed. It’s very important to me so we just do smaller projects now and are gonna Save for bigger things later. At least I know my way around a paint brush and have been slowly painting the house. At least he isn’t picky about the style just the money spending
In Asian culture home design is a woman thing. Men do not have a say on most of the things except for maybe game room or their own office. We discuss on budget but never style.
Think it's a byproduct of traditionalism. As a housewife myself, my husband leaves the house decorating to me since I am always at home and he wants me to be comfortable. :)
@@nohomo4774 That’s very nice of him. I find most men don’t care about interior design. My husband said as long as he has a computer, roof over his head and a bed he can sleep he is good 😂. I can’t stand when my partner argue with me over home design because I’m very picky. And I want my house to look/feel the way I like.
ah nice video but it doesn’t really help me. My partner just puts his foot down and refuses to give any insight into his choices. My way or the highway. sigh. (he’s got some nice traits but my inner creative feels oppressed )
Holy my husband won't give his lazy boy recliner chair "marshmallow chair ohh we fought a lot just what couch to buy so I let him have it but its stays in the basement 😂 for choice at the main living. Now he wont care anymore what design I like.
I'm going to settle this for you Ponty - Viv's right.

Nick throwning down.. its like a crossover of my favorite design youtubers.

Thank God 🙏 I am single 😊 I can do whatever I want without any argument or compromise 😁
I try to show my husband examples of the design styles I like. Usually he says something like, "It's so impersonal." 🤦♀️

Think it's a byproduct of traditionalism. As a housewife myself, my husband leaves the house decorating to me since I am always at home and he wants me to be comfortable. :)
@@nohomo4774 That’s very nice of him. I find most men don’t care about interior design. My husband said as long as he has a computer, roof over his head and a bed he can sleep he is good 😂. I can’t stand when my partner argue with me over home design because I’m very picky. And I want my house to look/feel the way I like.
Is that an East Asian thing? As I haven't heard of that being a thing in a quite a few parts of Asia
@@qytj1182 China. At least where I grew up
You’re a great cauncler
ah nice video but it doesn’t really help me. My partner just puts his foot down and refuses to give any insight into his choices. My way or the highway. sigh. (he’s got some nice traits but my inner creative feels oppressed )
Holy my husband won't give his lazy boy recliner chair "marshmallow chair ohh we fought a lot just what couch to buy so I let him have it but its stays in the basement 😂 for choice at the main living. Now he wont care anymore what design I like.
Another way is to find a partner who doesn’t care about design or money and lives all decisions to you.
lazyboy lol!!!
The guy was right, $1,000.
your partner is right. you should apologize and make him a cake.
