Hey Kiva, told my partner that you were in favor of painting the bathroom ceiling navy and thought caves were great. He laughed. But he agreed to painting the ceiling and I bought the paint today.
This year is my year to have my style I've forgone for many years chasing the "in" style. Don't care anymore if everyone hates it as long as I love it. Give me my pastels, velvet drapes, flowers galore, vintage art galleries, old family photo's and dare I say it wallpaper! Gasp lol doing one wall in both my living room and bedroom. Granny chic is my vibe as the saying goes and pink!!. Finally happy and want to shop!! dreaded it for years buying what I never liked. How silly. Follow your loves ladies and gents. Found your videos recently and your energy, humor is fantastic. Keep making them!!
My sister-in-law hung a beautiful little oil painting at eye level when you were sitting on the throne in her tiny powder room decades ago!! Gotta love it!
Love your sense of humor! We moved into a house that featured many trend relics of the past including bright turquoise millwork, sponge painting and various outdated wallpapers. Six coats of primer and paint were required to kill that turquoise. I still have flashbacks, as we lacked the funds to hire a team of painters, so if you decide on color-drenching, start saving your money for when the color goes out of style, or be prepared for weeks of labor.
I also loved the last one regarding mixing styles in different areas! I love MCM and Craftsman/Arts and Crafts and Scandinavian… it’s hard to pick and not always easy to blend them in one space but fun to be able to express them in different areas. 😊
YESSSS. Everyone was saying MCM was out, but MCM will never die. I may be leaning more toward maximalist decor nowadays, but my furniture preferences will be MCM forever.
This made me giggle! Decorated bathroom, check. Minimal window treatments, check, good mattress, indeed! Also predicting: fewer rugs! Reason: 2 cats, 2 dogs, and no time to fuss about the upkeep! And at 62, I want to enjoy my house after all the years of curating it. Love your channel Kiva!
I can’t wait for each of your videos. You show us what is trending but you do it with humor and such a great personality that I don’t since as much when you tell me my style is out of style again 😂
Kiva you’re very funny 😂😂😂 I couldn’t stop laughing when you said about the minimalistic style 😂😂😂 one chair used for everything 😂😂 I just love your videos ❤❤ 🥰🥰🥰
This video is your BEST so far! The updates for the bathrooms really hit home for me! And your pics of black and white LR just clinched my color scheme for 2024! 🎉😊😅. Great Job!
This video is spot on! Love it! The return of the sectional = Huge yes 👏🏻 functional but performance fabric. Mixing design styles in different areas/rooms is a great design tip. It’s what makes our homes unique. Your videos are always packed with great design advice and product links. Thanks for all you do.
I love the last one, a mix of styles! My bed room is straight French providential. I need my bed room straight white, no color, because color in the bed room stresses me out for some reason. The rest of my house is more modern traditional/frence with an art deco flare.
*Color Drenching* . I am so on board with this. After 9 years in my home, my primary bedroom is getting a much needed make-over. I am color drenching the walls in Behr Leather Work, accent wall over the headboard in Sherwin Williams Naval. I want a dark and moody bedroom. My Pinterest Board was filled with lots of Ralph Lauren inspo. I was able to source lighting and nightstands on FB Marketplace, Homegoods and Amazon for bedding and window treatments. I have am asymmetrical situation on my headboard wall with a window involved. I added vinyl privacy window cling with a coordinating pattern to my sheets and swaged one panel. I used three panels on the other window to fill the space.
I love mixing design styles. I have different living (contemporary) and dining room (rustic ). It gives me a different mood as I enter each space because it is an open concept I sense a separation of the space without walls.
I want a designed bathroom but the ones we have is so small, just the min required size in our country so water could get in 70% of it. Maybe I can decorate the door and around the mirror at most.
Kiva! You are so funny. I watched this video twice and still laughed over and over again. Reading the shampoo bottle was your best yet lol! And yet your are so informative! Keep up the good work! ❤❤❤
Bathroom Decor, no, not sea shells and dead starfish. a Carved Stone piece on the shower niche, metal art for the wall, think,can it get wet? we had antique Miao silver necklaces with undersea motifs for a while, now we have carved stone owls on the shelf behind the sink And always a luxuriously scented candle. mmmm Spa Bath
Why not decorating the bathroom!?....till the paint comes off ;-)))....this were my thoughts as I saw the oilpaintings hanging in the small bathroom.....:D
Can you make a video/series of affordable ways to color to your space without breaking the bank? I feel like I buy so many neutrals because I want my space to feel cohesive without spending too much but it comes across as too bland, cold, and visually uninteresting to me
❤I like your predictions…. I have been working on my style for the last 6 months….. binge watching now for ideas lol…I am right on trend…. The only thing I am still working on is pillow selection…. I have a standard apartment size sofa…. And I find the larger pillows make the sofa look even smaller… I use less pillows than before…. It seems 18x18 works best….i only stack one side… the loveseat only one pillow a lumbar… am I design blind? Thanks for sharing 😊
I'm not so concerned(these days) with trying to make my space look or feel "lux" or "expensive", and my overall taste and design aesthetic is in a transition at the moment(to what I'm not sure yet....probably SUPER modern or even futuristic) but I do have a WILDLY inappropriate sense of humor and I do believe in decorating the bathroom, and also tend to have a case of potty shyness......so next bathroom redesign is getting a gallery wall of an eclectic mix of portraits(to include animal portraits) facing the "throne" and a basket of porn and "home and gardens" mags next to the throne, lol. See....like I said, a wildly unhinged sense of humor
Every other points you made was good except for the 1st one... "NO WALLPAPERS AND NO PAINTING IN THE BATHROOOMM"... those are the worst thing to capture moisture in the wall and damage it from inside... and bathroom is equal to 24/7 moisture... painting will ruined if you hang them and wallpaper will trap moisture inside, resulting wall damage/chiping
I grew up with mixed century modern. And I didn’t like it then. And I still don’t. My husband loves it. But he’ll never live with it as long as I’m around. I would love a sectional. But my living room is small. So I doubt I’ll ever have one. Maybe if I move to a bigger house. But I like my small house, because it’s easy to keep clean. I also want a new mattress. So I’m going to try to talk him into one. Our mattress is old, I remember buying it. But it was a long while ago. And we need a new bed frame. I’m not going for the adjustable one. Just one that won’t kill my dogs if they go under our bed. I know the mattress in the guest room is newer than ours. So I’m going with that first to convince him.
I thought MCM was dying just like it died in the 60s and 70s. I am surprised to hear that since there are so many cheap MCM knock offs. That is exactly what happened 50-60 years ago so cheap knock offs=death of a trend
As good as it can look, if you put wallpaper in your bathroom, I’m gonna personally come to your house, turn your shower all the way up, and leave it running with the door closed for 30 minutes.
Please not more MCM! Of course there were some gorgeous designs in that era. I completely agree with that. But a lot of the designs I see now just look like all the older relatives' homes looked when I was a kid and it's boring to me. Also, my first student apartment with my parents' hand-me-down living room. It was great. I loved having actual furniture and it did its job well, but I am not looking to return there nearly three decades later. It's too soon for some of us older folks, dammit!
I accidentally am on trend for 2024! Hahah also I have a kivik sort of sectional and we took some sections apart and joined them with custom diy timber tables so that the couch is broken up with places to put mugs etc when in use. It's brilliant
Wallpaper in the bathroom where you bathe / shower doesn't make sense to me. The steam / humidity is the enemy even with ventilation. The wallpaper will peel off and discolour over time. Bathrooms need to be practical with storage solutions. I enjoy colour - each bedroom has a feature wall: deep cherry red, deep blue, dark velvet green and honey yellow. I wouldn't colour drench because by 2026 it will be 'dated'. Paint is expensive and for rooms to look elegant, it needs a professional painter to apply. MCM has always been popular. It may have slightly decreased this year but always in the top 5 styles. A more enthusiastic version of Scandi. Sectionals have been 'in' since 2015 in various forms. The sofa is a runner up.
Really, people forget to decorate the guest bathroom? I have always decorated first the areas that guests will see. So, besides the living room, kitchen, I’ve always decorated the guest bathroom and a guest bedroom. Heck, I even decorate front stoop for seasonal so the first thing they see hopefully puts a smile on her face.
Please, anything but MCM! I grew up in the 60s/70s when that's all there was - everywhere. It may have been "functional" but, IMO, the most boring, plain, drab-looking furnishings ever produced. There. I said it.
Hey Kiva, told my partner that you were in favor of painting the bathroom ceiling navy and thought caves were great. He laughed. But he agreed to painting the ceiling and I bought the paint today.
YAY!!! I’m so invested.
I need to see results!!❤

Been putting art in my bathroom for years ! I do appreciate your videos and your lovely humour ! 😊. Lots of good advice. Thank you
Yay!!! I’m so glad! What’s your favorite style of art in a bathroom?
@@KivaBrent oil paintings in Barocco vintage frames
No matter how often I see MCM in regards to design, I always think "Man Crush Monday" first 😂😂😂
Omg I love that 😂
My sister-in-law hung a beautiful little oil painting at eye level when you were sitting on the throne in her tiny powder room decades ago!! Gotta love it!

This is a great point!!!! I appreciate you sharing your experience with this!
Doing a medium to dark grey primer layer(s) first, before the end colour is attempted is better than white at neutralizing bright or shocking colours!

You are so witty! It makes your videos so unique!

I love the way Kiva pronounces the word "curtain". It always makes me giggle and super happy.
How do you know if a couch/sofa is made with performance fabric? What materials would I look for?
I’ve only found you recently, but I really get happy when I see you’ve posted a new video. You may be my new fav!! Robin
Can we talk about the top you're wearing in the thumbnail tho!!! Woooot 🤩
I just found it at H&M a couple weeks ago!!

Kiva I just Love your videos & your updates on all things HOME! I'm not really sure about the color drenching.
Love in your channel. I'm totally going to put art in my bathrooms!
I’ve had my nectar for over 5 years and it’s as comfortable as day one. They really are amazing.
LOVE THIS!

Uniquely expensive? Haha

You’re adorable and I really enjoy your videos. I always learn or like something new. 😀

Same. I do have walls but I still like the different feeling it brings when I walk into each room.
@@nuthinbutlove It gives a home that lived in vibe!
@@calawa8500 yeeesssssss!
I just painted and redecorated my daughter's bathroom in a dark gray/navy color trim, ceiling and all! It looks so cool!
Love sectionals and mid-century modern design.
Love color drenching. Not sure if I’m ready for it. I went back to the sectional and it is frumpy and I could not care less. It’s so comfortable
I loved this video! I think it’s different than the other 2024 trend videos I’ve been seeing and I appreciate that.
Thankyou that last bit I was scared of going anything other than modern in different rooms and now i'm ging for it❤
I want a designed bathroom but the ones we have is so small, just the min required size in our country so water could get in 70% of it. Maybe I can decorate the door and around the mirror at most.
You could do vinyl decals!!
A beautful wall paint can help
Love and agree with everything in this video! ( with the exception of the Nectar Mattress) hate it😂
I love all of these ideas, especially kicking up the bathroom! You are absolutely right that we spend ALOT of time there!😂🚽🧻🛁
Thank you!! 💕💕
Kiva, do you have any videos on paint colors? I’m helping my ex husband decorate his house, and I’m hitting a wall.
🎉 first time I’m way ahead of this trend. My bathroom and bedroom are on point ❤ (and that took me a couple of years to perfect lol) 🎉 yay!
I just love this video. Beautiful presentation. Amazing insights . I'm going to replay it now
Aw thank you!!! I’m so glad you enjoyed it! :)
Didnt even know about the different designs for different rooms! I just did it bc i wanted to try new things 😂😂
Great video, new subbie!
Thank you ❤️ What is that arrangement behind you? I love that
I love roman shades and sectionals. ❤
Kiva! You are so funny. I watched this video twice and still laughed over and over again. Reading the shampoo bottle was your best yet lol! And yet your are so informative! Keep up the good work! ❤❤❤
Another guide to consider and the effect can be felt until next year. 🥰🥰
Have had a Nectar for years and I love it.
Sectional! YESsssssssssss!
I have had art, plants and decor for years in the bathroom
You cry in there 😂 I feel you are calling me out 😂. My bathroom is decorated so it’s pretty when I have a good cry! Very therapeutic
Can you do a video on flower arrangements ❤❤

Does it matter what type of sheets you use on the Nectar mattress to prevent sweating? Also, how does it hold up for overweight people?

Kiva, do you like Nectar better than Casper? I almost bought a Nectar.
I always wonder how do you return a mattress in the box it came in since it was shipped to you with all the air removed?
Is the mattress good for plus size people for longterm?
Keva B, were you aware HEB Pantry has a Home decor
Kiva, what mattress is in your master?
Love to hear what you think about the Grandpa Chic interior design style that’s suppose to be hot in 2024.
Miss Kiva tell us about that lovely shirt. Where did you find it?
Another comment mentioned it and she said she purchased it at H & M just a few weeks ago

Exactly!!
I love MCM but the entire house doesn’t have to be MCM. Mix it with other styles. Maybe the sofa is more traditional and the table is more MCM.
Whoa!! What's the rush? Sorry, but I found you hard to follow because you speak so quickly.
Nectar has fiberglass 😅 No Ty .
When „Vintage“ means furniture from when you born…
Hate the mid century modern legs.
