- Love me or hate me, hopefully we can agree that these designs just simply aren't PRACTICAL! Sometimes we have to say goodbye to our deepest, wildest design dreams and welcome in things that make our lives easier, not harder. Today we're talking about the never-ending list of extremely impractical design trends that just refuse to quit!

I used to think sliding barn door style doors were cool, but if used for bathrooms or bedrooms they don’t really provide the necessary sound proofing and privacy necessary
When I see a chandelier above a tub I always think of it falling into the water- electrocution. They don't look stylish but dangerous.
Isn’t a chandelier above the tub against code because or risk of electrocution should it fall?
@@fatmama24No. It’s against code if it’s too close to the tub or if it’s a tub with a shower. If your ceiling is high enough that you (or, rather, whatever code defines as a person) can’t touch the chandelier when standing in the tub, it’s fair game.
Through an oversight (I assume), sconces are permitted.
Hence his final destination joke.
When was the last time any hanging ceiling fixture actually fell down?? LOL.
@@Person-mh6xqor stayed connected to electrical wiring when it fell...
I had thoughts of doing limewash in my basement because of the antimony properties but I feel like with my aesthetic, it will look like I live in a medieval peasant hovel.
Do you have the medieval outfits to go with it?
@user-pb3sb3un7n I do actually XD
I would have to crawl up and down an open staircase 😮 those give me anxiety just looking at them
Pets usually refuse to use those stairs- even the open tread ones with walls on both sides.
I'm going to assume that American companies use inferior wooden slats because I've never heard of anyone breaking theirs, no matter how strenuous their activities. They're the norm where I'm from, metal frames are extremely uncommon.
Same, I'm from The Netherlands. I think Phoenix is from Canada though
@@katherineh.9379He is. But I don't know what type of wood were in these slats... Probably Made in China...
@@nathalie_desrosiers yeah maybe. I don't know either
It depends on the wood slats. I've never had an issue but I've only ever bought ikea or this one old company that had built to last furniture.
Yes! Let’s blame it on the US!
There were dark countertops when I bought my home. I couldn't keep them clean so they are now replaced with white quartz which has sparkle in it. I love it
I LOVE a dark counter too, it requires so much extra maintenance.
I was over the trend of exposed Edison bulbs in about 5 minutes 😒. Terrible distribution of light, and eye-searing if you happen to look directly at them. Diffused all the way!!
Thank you for this, I was thinking of getting some for my newly rented 1930s home 😂 Now, I know !
Just moved to New Mexico and my home is a modern adobe. I’m considering limewash and appreciate the tips.
You’re most welcome! That’s why I’m here 🙏🏼
Great idea to paint wall behind TV black.
The best budget-friendly way to make blend into the space! I know a frame TV is not always in the budget for most people
those stairs gave me a great deal of anxiety just looking at them!
OMG Design Daddy is a weapon of knowledge and a sharp shooter with exacting finish selections knowledge from the boring details not many designers address to the batshit crazy stuff people think they want or more like their friends told them. I love great design and not great at keeping everything shipshape. I hope DD does a video of his housekeeping chores and tips.
Going to add to my list, I’m a bit OCD when it comes to my cleaning habits 😅😅🤣
Good job - no disagreement on any point! Hubby and I lived in a condo with black countertops. Never again! They were highly polished, so they didn't absorb anything, BUT every little water drop and crumb showed up. The area around the sink was a nightmare to keep clean. Whoever is responsible for the open shelving trend in the kitchen obviously doesn't cook. Not only the shelving itself, but all those lovely designer 'touches' on display will have to be taken down and washed every week or so. Cooking grease goes everywhere, hood or no hood.
I think you should include the stand-alone tub Concept. Most I've seen stand only a few inches away from the walls surrounding them, meaning you can't clean there! Not good in a bathroom.
“DAKR” COUNTERTOPS, someone missed that edit 😂
WHOOOPPSSS! thanks for catching that!
@@mrphoenixgrey I love it 😍
Agree with most of these but I still love my open shelves and just don't have problems with dust/grime. I keep only my daily dishes up there, and they are always styled, and I give the shelves a dusting every week. Also for tiled countertops, I think vintage ones should be kept whenever possible (old school craftsmanship is priceless), just reseal your grout! Or consider epoxy non-porous grout, I've had good luck re-grouting vintage countertops with that.
I bought a Barcelona daybed as my couch. I’ve wanted one since I was a kid. They’re expensive but I found a floor model. It was beautiful. But… I envy everyone with a comfy couch. This is leather and button-tufted, with no back, so it ain’t comfy for sitting. And it’s got nooks and crannies galore for crumbs. Talk about a beautiful nightmare.
Shit, you're right. I'll let the dream go :c
@@lucasotis9525 …Don’t get me wrong. It’s incredible for a day nap. If you have one in an office for forty winks, or if you have the space for it as extra seating, it’s good - but make sure your main work horse couch is comfortable. And avoid the Barcelona for meals. Ugh
Wow. Just wow. You completely busted my dreams I started having, looking up all these internet photos and thinking of implementing them in future. You simply unlocked another door in my mind today.
Also, a chandelier above the tub is often not to code: picture a person slipping and grabbing the light. A style trend that I think is impractical is black or very saturated color monochrome rooms. These are going to look dated soon and it is more difficult to paint over (multiple coats are needed). Please consider using no music in the background, Phoenix, thanks for keeping the music short in this video. As usual, you were informative as I didn’t know that sink less vanities existed (stupid beyond words) and that kitchen counter tiles were back (I have lived through decades of experiencing friends spending time, expense and mess ripping these out).
agreed! Most chandeliers are not damp-rated, which is another issue if the bathroom ends up having more humidity and steam that a lot of people don't take into consideration.
100% agree on the dark countertops DD, now it was the end of the '80's, but when I renovated my kitchen I went with a dark brown leather look formica, white melamine cabinetry with 3/8 inch thick ash trim, and brick red linoleum floors, (I was on a budget, give me a break) and damme but did it look GOOD, until I started to use it . . . every speck of dust etc. showed.
Im trying to find a nice medium for when I do my place, I want the dark, and i know my OCD will already be cleaning it every hour to make sure it looks pristine. lol
Daddy is always here with the right things to say, and what to avoid. another great video!!!
Thanks for always watching! it means alot
The difference in cost between a drawer microwave and a standard one is huge. Plus, microwaves break and to get any replacement that completely fits the space of a previous appliance is no guarantee. I would spend my money elsewhere.
This is helping me with apartment... future house ideas. This brother does not miss!
I just came across your videos. I think you're AWESOME. I love your personality, humor, fairness and honesty. I've subscribed and a follower. Thank-you !
I'm glad to find your video at this time. I am just getting ready to move and some of the items you mentioned were on the list of things I planned, but now I can dodge the bullet of incorporating them and going through the disappointment, time and expense of having to redo them later. I was considering especially the matte black cabinets for the lowers in my kitchen, but considering that they're right beside my stove, I'm going to redesign. Also the limewash for my bathroom. We don't have anyone in my area that probably has experience with this, so I'll consider another option. I had never seen the sink that's not a sink - that is the most idiotic thing I've ever seen attempted. A sink is a vessel with a sunken in area that forms a container so that water can be contained as much as possible. But hey, go head and mop that up every day. Some people just need stupid hobbies.
I need people to know that you MUST prime with a high quality primer if you want to paint over limewash🤗
Yes!!! This too, I should have mentioned - but can change everything
An antique wood slat bed is awesome. Good ones are oak maple etc.
IKEA uses pine, a soft inferior furniture wood.
Painted appliance holds up fine- esp dishwashers and fridges, where only the handles are frequently wiped down.
Use an appliance spray enamel though.
Definitely I love your style as a video maker, says the things as it is in the face of everyone needs to know how to tell very well and you did perfectly. Great job Mr. Phoenix Grey.
That means so much! thank you! I have a great team that handles all my editing and filming on set with me, and could not be happier :)
I agree with you and love a matte black kitchens as well as the black counter tops. I know all the cleaning problems connected with black. I live in a condo in the city and my kitchen doesn’t get used much, maybe a tossed English muffin. My favorite thing for dinner are talk out or go out. I also have a house keeper that comes every other week. However I’m big on black floors.
PS: I love you Cartier Santos and have one in my watch collection.
I do not understand why TV's need to be hidden, afterall we all have them so why deny it!. I do agree about having it over the fireplace. I always hang my TV low in the room (at seating level) with a long display shelf below and display something above it, ie large piece of art etc, the same width of the tv but much taller in scale.
And 'microwaves', unless they are some extremely well designed, highly expensive german or italian piece incorporated 'invisibly' into the same kitchen, then they need to be hidden behind closed doors, period!. It's like leaving an iron out on a calacatta worktop, just for the hell of it.
Love this helpful video and all your videos, DD! Really appreciate how you give the practical and realistic perspective to design! 👏🏻👏🏻
Anyone who lived in the 80s/90s is scarred from those awful white, cheap, ceramic tile countertops in kitchens and every bathroom! I could never deal with a tile countertop again, no matter how beautiful the tile is! Just NO! How is this a thing again?!!! 😂😂😂
Thank you so much for always watching! So happy that my videos are being received well :)
@@mrphoenixgrey Thank you so much for your nice reply and for making such awesome and helpful content!! 💗
I painted my fridge (admittedly it is a short term solution while I wait for my house extension with the new kitchen). It was a retro fridge with a faux leather texture. I used Porters chalk emulsion (honestly this stuff stick to anything!) in Porters Ink. It looks fab and coordinates with the paint in my kitchen (also Porters chalk emulsion Ink)
Ps chalk emulsion is waxed with Porters stucco wax so it is easy to clean
I personally love open shelving even if it's a nightmare to clean. 😂
I love mine and cleaning is an easy 5 minutes added to my dishes/counter wipe process.
Once upon a time I had a live in nanny and a live in cleaner. I was so happy.
😂😂😅
Miss those days
Open staircases are HIGHLY illegal in Australia! So would never have to worry about that here! I have had Uber matte black wood floors in two different homes now and can actually say, once they get a little scuffed and used it hides quite a lot and just looks like a bit of character. I didn’t mind it at all. Only draw back was once you decided to mop, you had to do the whole floor! Not just a room or it was really obvious. lol
This is funny. My grandfather a house painter, back in the 50s. He painted the refrigerator blue. I loved that blue refrigerator. He would use leftover paint to paint his truck. Ahead of his time, he drank iced coffee and wore longer sleeves to cover his tattooed arms. As my grandmother said there's nothing new under the sun.
In most if not all of the US, after four stairs you need a railing. I was once shooting in Mexico for a newly built hotel. They had a concrete stairway that probably went up 20 feet with no railings on either side. The steps were very broad, maybe 12 ft wide but they led up to a bar! I couldn't believe what I was seeing. I checked their website a few months later and there was railing on both sides....someone decided to put the architect in his or her place!
Thank you!! You’re completely spot on. I love how you take into account safety, comfort, and practicality in each design. A great designer knows that prettiness only comes after considering all these three most important factors. However, what I really wanna see in the future is putting eco-friendliness factor in the list too.
The one that drives me crazy is using very porous stone or brick - especially whitewashed or "schmeared" - as a backsplash behind the stove. Looks beautiful but it's literally the most impractical material you could possibly choose because it will absorb allllll the splattered grease, tomato sauce, and other stains, and there is no way to clean it. It does the polar opposite of what a backsplash is supposed to do!
🎉🎉🎉 I love this channel! So excited for new videos 🎉🎉🎉
That means so, so much! Thank you for always watching 🤍🤍
I'd like to say that there is a way to paint a fridge and make it last and have the right finish if you really want to, and that is to take it to a professional that paints cars (idk what they're called). This way, the heat of the fridge does not make the paint crack and peel, which is the reason the paint doesn't last and ends up looking horrible. I've done this in my tiny summer home kitchen, because there was absolutely no space for a built in cabinet to hide the fridge and it was ruining the vintage design style that I wanted to have, to be consistent with the rest of the home and the area. I painted it the exact same color as the rest of the cabinets. It's been two years and it's still in excellent condition, I also added the same handle as the rest of the cabinets and from a far you can barely tell it's not part of the built in.
Agree with most of these although a darker soapstone countertop doesn't have those issues and looks good after use. Also, I have a small chandelier above my tub and only use it when bathing and it is gorgeous. Provides ambiance without a ton of light. I leave my other lights off and just use that which makes my whole bathroom bathe in soft sparkling light. It helps that I have 10' ceilings and are large bathroom. Love your videos!
❤the video Design Daddy!!! So pack with great quality content and advice as usual!!! I’ve always hated the TV above the fireplace or just a 📺 that’s mounted way to high!!! As someone who works in surgery, those people are putting so much strain on the necks, backs, & shoulders as you mentioned and could put themselves at risk for neck or shoulder surgery in the future.
The amount of TV's I have seen mounted at like 6' and above BLOWS MY MIND, like how are you able to get comfortable on a sofa and watch TV when you are constantly looking up like that
@@mrphoenixgrey Agreed!!! ESPECIALLY when they have 8’ ceilings 😒. Like why the hell is that tv mounted sooo high!!! Now you and those bed slats ended up being broken 😂🤣🤣!!! I clutched my pearls 😂🤣🤣. I was like is he low key telling us he’s a bedroom bully 😈🤣😂🤣😂.
If you renovate your stairs, think about the security of your cats and dogs.😊
Also, think about ambulances.
Professionals need practical and safe stairs for transporting pacients.
Avoid "floating" stairs, small curve stairs and "pedal" stairs.
Absolutely agree with you! Non of these is practical and aesthetical-wise, not that appealing either!!
Just seeing this video. Great job. Surprised Zellige tile wasn't mentioned specifically though. It's expensive in materials and installation; and in my opinion, the highly uneven surface is a nightmare to keep clean, especially in a kitchen or bathroom. I don't care how pretty the colors are. That particular tile is a HELL NO for me. 😆
My parents have a microwave built into the island and it drives me absolutely insane when I visit. Having to constantly bend down, potential back pain aside, is just annoying. It will actually deter me from microwaving anything so I guess if you’re trying to eat less microwave meals go off, otherwise save your sanity I beg.
I have open big shelves In my kitchen but they are like a yard away from my stove and I just put my pots on them and some dangling under from hooks they don’t really get dirty because they are further away from the stove but they do show most of my tops and pans and sometimes it feel overwhelming. Like damn this is my collection 😅
First video I’m watching, and he is SPITTING facts. Subscribed 🙌 (also thank you, I almost committed several of these mistakes in my new house lol)
I have matte black cabinets and black ceramic countertops in my kitchen and I don’t have any of those problems, and I’ve been living here for more than 2 years. My cabinets are anti-fingerprint, and they look beautiful always and I’m not a Monica Geller kind of person. It’s true that the anti-fingerprint made them more expensive, but it’s worthy. My aunt put some matte sage cabinets without the anti-fingerprint and it’s a nightmare.
I have black leather granite and don't have those issues either. BUT...If anyone uses the hand lotion at the sink, they definitely smudge the counters. But I wonder if the issue is the high shine of most granite that draws the eye to every crumb, spill and fingerprint?
Thank you for you experience , i am consodering black / oak cabinet contrast combo and i dont really have a backup plan.
You are the most practical designer! Love the content
Really useful tips! Thanks for sharing it
On point with the topics and the editing
OMG I laughed out loud at some of your comments. Thank you for the tips, advice and making it fun!
Omg yes, open shelves in kitchens have always looked so impractical to me! Impractical and messy...you have to be super orderly all the time and/or have a lot of plus space to keep your actual plates, pots, etc.
A kitchen is already SO BUSY looking, why add more to it! it always looks great styled in photoshoots, but rarely in everyday life.
Dark countertop solution. Soap stone is the greatest countertop ever. It doesn’t stain at all. Granite absolutely stains. Always use a cutting board and soapstone is incredibly durable and requires no special cleaners. Holds/reflects heat from your pizza as well. :)
My open shelving is clean, orderly, convenient and I’ve never regretted it.
I would also add marble to the "pretty but impractical" category. It's porrous, it stains, it needs sealing and it patinas over time. On a bathroom it's slippery as hell. So keep it as an accessory element or a side table.
And I'd never thought I'd say that but in defence of black terrazzo floor, it doesn't show anything. Not that anyone should install black terazzo but still... 😂
My parents have dark countertops, I believe it's a stone amalgam ? It is spotless even after 15 years, and it's hard to leave a stain on it. I got mine done in a mutlifaceted stone, and while not as sturdy as the stone amalgam, it is very forgiving because you can't guess if it's a stain or a chip from the stone XD it's very handy IMO. It got chipped but I am embracing it, it makes it look less clinical !
My major hang up are the tile counters. My mid century kitchen tiles bring me so much joy 🥲
The black flooring gave me PTSD. I used to think that black floors were amazing until I actually lived in a house with one and it was the most miserable nine months of my life. 😩
Dark flooring sure does show everything! I have a navy blue area rug over a light grey carpet. I have 3 cats & they track so much cat litter & shed fur! I need to vacuum it everyday. The grey carpet doesn't show it. At least I know I'm keeping the dirt off my floor.
I was building an L-shaped sofa for a customer, She wanted half of it on a rug and said "it's a design thing". I had to point out that three of the legs of the sofa were now no longer on the floor.
White floors and counters! I’ll never do that again. Shows Everything.
Another offender! you need to find a happy medium of not too dark and not too light for almost everything lol
Well this is a first, I agree with everything you said, ( I don’t always agree with designers) shocker. At my age which is 21 and a bit and the bits my own business, I have made some of these errors. Not only is they drive me insane cleaning etc, but they cost me time and money to redo that space.
What is the difference between lime and limewash?
I used white lime for every clay wall and it doesn't look like in those photos...
Our lime colour is very white and very matte. The clay below makes it a warm white, because its yellow is still shinig through in very intense sunlight.
you sir....are spot on!!!!!
Open staircases cause me anxiety each time I see them in a house tour.... I barely manage to use fully enclosed staaiirs
I have black cabinets and I love them but I think I will change the color because you can see every single finger print
Dude you’re hilarious 🤣 and I learned a lot. Thank you.
Tiled countertops, I absolutely hate them! I can't believe anyone would want to bring those back. I think I agreed with all the items you pointed out here. The other thing dangerous about those open staircases is that your foot can get caught between them as you're going up. This is something that probably isn't going to come up much in the US, but here in France one thing I really hate seeing is people getting these beautiful homes with fantastic interior architectural details, and ripping them all out to "make them modern." Well, "modern" eventually isn't anymore. And why buy one of these places to rip out details that frame and enhance a space? And some do it on the outside as well. There's a place that advertises on TV here that shows them putting up this kind of styrofoam board on the OUTSIDE of a home for insulation, then plastering it and covering over every single detail of the house, and turning them into totally featureless walls all the way around, with just window spaces being the only relief. And those end up like gaping mouths.
I am fed up of trying to keep grout clean.
A nightmare 😱
I spray a water-repeling grout sealant on mine once a year, it makes keeping my bathroom clean much easier.
@@lsamoa i sealed them, but its not stopped the grout from getting dirty.
@@razamughal9095 Sorry to hear :(
@@lsamoa which brand did you use?
I tried one of those metal bed frames, pressure of the solid metal bars caused sciatica, went back to an Ikea bed and the pain went away.
There are probably few things as dangerous as a chandelier above a bathtub LOL. From being impaled to electrocution, the risks are too great. And for what? It's not going to make your ugly tub seem more elegant. A bathroom is a bathroom, for crying out loud. You shouldn't be spending large amounts of time there, anyway, unless you've got some major health problems.
I broke my foot last year going down my stairs just because I had my arms full and wasn't USING the handrail. Missed a step and landed on the tile. Missed like 4-5 months of work. Not putting a handrail is insane.
1000% agree (yeah, that much) on the tv above the fireplace + open staircases + the tiled countertops and open shelving.
I did not know basinless sinks were a thing.
Now, I want to cry because I wanted to get black floor + black countertops in my new house.
I absolutely love our dark tile floors, and they are worth the daily (sometimes 2 time) clean for me. With renovation still being underway, I often have to scrub the grout from the fine dust made during drilling or sanding. At first I thought it would be nearly impossible to get rid of the hazing on the tile from the drywall dust, but neighbors advised me to use a bit of vinegar diluted with water and it works. Then I go over with my usual floor cleaner. It will get better once we complete the livingroom and mopping only takes less than 10 minutes.
The kitchen (dark countertop+cabinets) will be arriving soon, and I can share how it turned out if you'd like. There is special coating against fingerprints on matte surfaces that makes cleaning easier and if the stone is sealed and cared for properly, there shouldn't be issues.
@@mariashopova9029 Please let me know. Also, I will coat my cabinets with that anti-fingerprint thing, but I will rather have my cabinets not matte.
Get soapstone countertops. They don’t have the issues.
@@marybarfield3003 I was thinking about slate, but I'll double check...
I'm reno'ing and i knew and was warned but i chose dark tiles and black quartz countertops. They were put in nearly first. After a year of breaking out walls and all kinds of dust and dirt you can imagine... Yeah, you see dirt. But i cannot imagine it not being visible on pale surfaces either. Only beige-y spotted stone hides stuff and that was not my vibe. But now that i near the end of renovating: muddy bootprints are more noticeable but dry shoes are fine. And cat hair and regular "collection of the day" dust on my countertops isn't that bad. I'd even say you have the benefit you can clearly see where you wipe down during cleaning compared to speckled countertops where you may miss a spot😅
Love your practical tips 😊 for average folks
Not sure I understand the "microwaves are hideous and must be hidden at all costs" thing. I recently remodeled, removed the OTR and picked a stylish compact microwave that sits on the countertop. It's the same color as my other stainless appliances. I love it. No reaching. No stooping. Easy to replace. Simple.
I love matte black and dark countertops! Haha!
You wouldn't be the first to point out that having a TV over the fireplace is bad aesthetics as well as bad for posture. But I'm amazed I've never heard anyone point out that it's bad for the longevity of your TV as an appliance. Hot air rises. I'm sure it's not good for sensitive electronics to bake.
This video is hilarious because its all true. And what the heck is Basinless sinks. Who thought that was good? lol
One of the looks i absolutely love in the kitchen is the stove backsplash with a ledge. Such a gorgeous look, but i can't see how it wouldn't catch every bit of grease and steam. Not practical at all, but so beautiful. Another thing i've often wondered about, and it's along the lines of the under-counter microwave, is stoves with the knobs on the front, right above the oven. Little ones could turn those on so easily, i'm surprised there aren't more accidents with those. Great video, as always, DD 🙂
Oh. no! My pet peeve are stoves with a backsplash! They look entirely dated and interrupt the backsplash. No sleekness to them.
i agree,@@Person-mh6xq. Plus, you have to reach across the burners to adjust them. Slide-in stoves with the knobs in front are so much easier and safer, imo. And they do look so much better than the stoves with the back part, like you said.
@@Person-mh6xq Ha! i re-read your comment and i think i didn't describe my backsplash thing very well. i didn't mean the thing on the back of the stove that stands up, i meant the marble slabs that go a ways up the wall behind the stove and then there's a little shelf or ledge on top; the whole thing is separate from the stove itself. Sorry for my massively confusing comments (i can't take myself anywhere sometimes 🤪)
Yeah, about knobs, we took them off and just used them for cooking.
@@nailguncrouch1017 That's a smart idea.
Open staircases, for when you really want your interior design to scream "OSHA violations."
I have the open shelves in my airbnb properties and it works in that context ☺️
An especially good video. Very informative.
Agree with everything you said. I think a frame TV is acceptable above a fireplace. Also you can always do a wide lower profile fireplace and still pull off the TV. Seriously, why is maintenance and practicality such an afterthought for most design trends? Maybe that’s why they are a trend and not lasting 😅
Black flooring for lifeee & huge mirrora too 😢
I prefer the controls in the front but my belt from robe just knocked off oven over control knob. I replaced the plastic stem for $7 and paid $210 (US) to have it installed. Grrrr!
Open shelving is very practical. If you clean once a week generally it shouldn’t be an issue
How do the TVs not burn? Or are those fireplaces not for heating???
That spot abover our fireplace is hot enough to burn a hand. We bought Metal pictures to hang there, because paper would be damaged!
I’ve never understood why anyone would want open shelves in the kitchen with all the dishes collecting dust.
Right? it only looks good in photos.
I’ve had open shelving for 15 years. My dishes are clean, my shelves are today, and I have no problem. I don’t know why people talk so much about about dust and grease. Gross! Don’t you clean?
@@jenniferfriesen7691 sorry you got triggered, hope you feel better soon.
thank you daddy
Saw this just as I'm eyeing ikea upplov for my kitchen, a matte black 😅😅but they have built in metal handles which I'm hoping would negate most of the other fingerprints
Does pro shield help with concrete countertops? Thanks!
People are now having appliances vinyl wrapped, like cars. eh.
matte kitchen: I love it way more! My mum has a matte kitchen (it's creme colored) and you totally don't see any fingerprints even if you look closely (it's a special material they said; you literally never have to clean it to look good) but I detest our shiny one. You literally see EVERYTHING. Such a hassle to clean and every fingerprint will be visible (ours is white).
The rest of the world uses wooden (or laminate) slats, and doesn't constantly break them. Metal frames with attached headboards may be standard in North America, but in a lot of other places people have beautiful furniture pieces for beds. Those need slats, not metal bases. 🤷
One of the most impractical things is doorless ensuite, and a bathtub in the bedroom. Moister and linens are not a good mix. (and humans don't shit rainbows either)
Can designers and builders PLEASE stop putting the microwave over the stove. Im short and its impractical to me
14:18 black floors isnt so bad if you have a Roomba type vacuum going everyday, and/or you wear slippers in the house.
Ciao from Italy, i'm new here. I'v been watching for years diyers, AD, designers etc, finally someone saying how all this impractical😂, i'v been thinking the same about all of this😂 i'v marble floors, marble countertop, i know its beautiful but terrible for everyday, you must accept it. Can't change it built by grandfather at 70s Cracks chips,stains on the marble floor. I'm perfectionist so its drive me crazy, fortunately its terrazzo, so wont discover immidiately. Mat wall colour in the kitchen ah i wish i'v chosen washable colour. Subscribed😉 take care ciao😘
I wanted to hear more about beds can you put the metal frame inside the wood frame how does that work
Vel forklart, trenger ikke å følge trender , men deg derimot er jeg veldig sikker på å følge på hver eneste video du legger ut . Mvh
