Give this comment a thumbs up if you're eager for Hannah and Joe to immerse us in their new home journey! We're not just wanting for a sprinkle; we want to be fully drenched! ☺️ Congratulations, Hannah and Joe!
How exciting! I have loved seeing your journey over the years, from apartment, to living with friends, getting married to Joe, to now becoming a mom. All your hard work has paid off. ❤
I've always read through the years that yellow should never be used for bedrooms. Too stimulating to the brain and subconsciously not restful. Just depends, I guess. Good luck! 😊
In addition to Ariel, also check out Caroline Winkler. Her video style and her design choices are different enough from Ariel’s that they complement without overlapping. Right up until you said “green,” I was worried that you weren’t going to have any. With all those warm colors, it’s nice to have a little contrast. So here’s some unsolicited advice: Since your whole house will be basically pale beige/warm white, and you’ll be able to see your color-drenched dining room from the living room, make sure you have at least one piece of living room furniture that is in the same family as the dining room paint, plus maybe a couple of accents that are a similar color, and get a pop of your green in there as well. If your living room doesn’t have anything that ties it to the dining room, the dining room may look out of place, like you had one great isolated idea. If the bedroom door is always closed, you’ll visually have only one colorful room. Can’t wait to see what you do! I’m 100% here for this! 🥰🥰🥰
hannah x caroline is a dream combo for sure ❤❤❤ and yes, i was literally sitting there staring at the empty space of the mood board going 'green. it's green. you need green in there. green is the missing link. go green' 🙏 and happy squealing at the beautiful reveal 😂
When you were talking about adding some green - specifically how any green items would fit in because you would have plants in the space and plants are green - it reminded me of something i think of often when thinking about my own colour palette preferences: "Green is nature's neutral." And then I realised! I'm pretty sure I first read that phrase in the comment section of a different video of yours, Hannah! So it was a funny little full circle moment for me. And if the commenter who originally left that comment is reading this I'd just like to say that reading that little phrase kind of changed my life, as a green enthusiast. I'll be out for a walk and admire some leaves and think to myself "see! nature's neutral!" and then feel better about how many green items of clothing I own.
@@oruga9737 I love green as well! It’s funny I like white if it’s the messy Parisian writers lived in apt! Ha but my mood now is cozy eclectic and dark I love how Hannah does the mood boards! This sure inspired me…to waist more hrs on Pinterest I’m a Virgo I research things to death before I make a decision!!
wow so true! that perfectly explains why green feels like such a safe but also slightly boring choice to me! at least 60% of my interior is green and i do like it that way but often wish i could be more adventurous. maybe a flower bouquet palette could work, with mostly yellow, red and pink and a few blues and purples... 🤔 definitely food for thought ❤
This is such a well-produced video! Both visually and narratively. Engaging, beautiful, thought-provoking, inspiring! And all my walls are egg white, so this excitement for wall colours doesn't come natural to me 😂
I read somewhere that coffee isn’t a beverage, it’s a state of being. Your videos always strike that same chord-whether you’re taking about wardrobe curation, conscious consumerism, poetry (super enjoying the book!), or now interior aesthetics, your videos create an inspired “state of being”, a launch toward intentionality in daily living that reminds me of Mary Oliver’s “what is that you plan to do with your one wild and precious life?”. I’m certain your home will be the same! Congrats! P.S. Book suggestion for you: Matrescence by Lucy Jones
Love the color drenching idea for you. One thought. If you love your tableware because of its boldness choosing a color too close to it will rob that effect. Something complimentary might suit your personalities better. The earthy tones might, indeed, be the best idea.
Yes I was thinking the same thing! I have a signature color in my kitchen too but the walls are painted white with one accent wall to allow all the decor to stand out instead of blending into the walls
I love the way Katrina Zebrowska has shared her home reno! The way she approaches it feels very in line with your thinking (thoughtful, well-researched, intentional, etc.) Especially how she structure the videos. It's very much "this is everything I've been able to do since the last video because life." I'm very excited to watch your vision unfold 😍
@@emsilverman2 I would if I hadn't mixed it myself with a mistinted gallon of brown and the pinky whites cans left in the house by the previous owner. Sorry. I guess this is part of the blessing and curse of years of art. I have no trouble mixing paint but no way to share it for others to copy
I color drenched my bedroom 4 years ago and i still love it. Its a dark green, dark forest. It feels like a delicious cave and its great for day naps which are extremely important to me. Its perfect and correct.
My bedroom walls are dark green, which I love, but the ceiling is white. Something about the room just hasn’t been sitting well with me, and I think it’s the contrast between the white ceiling/white trim and dark walls. I’ve been considering if I should repaint the walls a lighter color or color drench in the dark green. The ceilings are somewhat low, so that concerned me. The dark green does feel both moody and so restful. I appreciate your comment. I think I might color drench! 🩷🦩🌺
@@melbygrace I’m trying to decide if If I want to hire a super cheap painter or do it myself! I do live on cape cod and sometimes I want a Scandi white blues taupes etc but I’ve always been a dark color gal ha there’s some Brit influencers I watch and I love how they really do up the powder room! Some had black wall paper with a botanical print and gold flusher with golden pipes up to the ceilings etc ha those people in England have some funky toilets!! 🚽
Hi! I have to mention (and I'm so sorry if this panics you, hopefully it won't!) I can't help noticing that almost all of your inspo images are of high-ceilinged rooms with enormous windows and your circular swatches at the end all show areas of the rooms where lots of natural light is really evenly bouncing off walls and features. The colour drenching looks great in these images but will be more oppressive in the house you're moving into (even though it's a beautiful house!) where the ceilings are low, so the drenching won't look as casually elegant as it does in high-ceilinged rooms. Another thing to take into consideration is that it looks like there are multiple windows in each of the rooms of your new place but they are small, so the effect visible in the photos is that you have small patches of natural light punctuating otherwise moody, dim rooms. White will therefore not have quite the same effect as it does in the high ceiling rooms you are taking inspiration from as those have very big windows which fill the space with light so that white really shines. You may want to just look for some images of colour-drenched rooms with the same sort of ceiling height as yours before making any decisions to check that you like the effect... I personally think a low-ceilinged ochre-drenched bedroom would be gorgeous but you might not. I love the bathroom inspo images you're going for and I think you will rise to the low ceiling challenge really well with your taste. I just wanted to point it out and I hope it's helpful! Love the green accent pieces as well. The interior designer Beata Heumann has some very reassuring advice on how you always want one thing in a room that throws off the rest of the colour pallete just so that it doesn't look too 'designed' and your green items exemplify that perfectly! I really look forward to seeing more house updates, PLEASE do document the journey!
I have a BFA in Interior Design and I have to agree. But I also know with certainty you will create a phenomenally aesthetic home for your family 😊 if you do paint red, think of your priming paint as an undertone in a foundation. It will really help to get it to feel the way you want.
When you said you were going to color drench…I immediately thought…she’s gonna pick orangey red. I think I have watched your channel for awhile. 😜 I totally love all your ideas. They feel very you. The white will also be a wonderful backdrop for all of your art. ❤ I can’t wait to watch the process.
As a color strategist, I'm jumping up and down about your process and discoveries. And maybe to no surprise, your upper-right pink hue has so much in common with the Merit lipstick case color. Paint on--and remember you can paint closet interiors or even the interior door trim saturated colors like the watermelon. Congrats on flowing with all the changes.
Had to come looking for this comment to upvote. Caroline & Paige both have great taste and I like that they incorporate stuff you can usually find secondhand. Will have to check out the other two recs
Hannah, congrats on your new home! I am always so wowed with your thinking process and the presentation of anything! ❤ You could be talking about a broken boiler for two hours and I would be listening like it’s the most exciting topic ever 😊
I painted my office in Joa's White. The pictures online make it seem like a much more tan/taupe neutral color - when on the wall in all light types it comes off very, very peachy and not even an off white as it's quite saturated. It does compliment your rusty terra cottas and your greens beautifully. No matter what colors you pick, don't worry as I swear just changing the lighting completely changes the color and ambiance of the room. Seriously just change the bulbs in your fixtures from warm to cool or to daylight and it completely changes the landscape of the room. That more of a hot pink dining room could become a much more muted "dirty" color that you sound like you might be seeking with lights that have amber shades and warm bulbs in them. And changing out a bulb is so much cheaper and easier than repainting the room. ;-) You're totally gonna smash it with whatever you choose. Congratulations on the new home!
Ariel Bassett definitely. I think she hits a good level of showing the work but it's also she's just really good company: a decor version of HLP shouldn't deprive is of listening to her
Nick Lewis is a lot of fun when it comes to interior design. He addresses all of these design styles that you are thinking about and I find him entertaining. If you haven’t found him yet, find him. Food for thought, if the walls are the same colors as your plates, etc, do the plates stand out or do they disappear? Paint is cheap and easy to change, so go for something fun for sure. You’ll figure something out and will be fine with what you create. It is yours. Also, kids ruin everything so don’t grow too attached to anything. Dishes will break, lots of ugly primary colored plastic makes an appearance. There is a high probability that those beautiful rust or ochre sheets will be cut with paper pinking shears or have permanent marker scribbles, or super glue on them so be prepared for dramatic change at a moment’s notice. Also, set aside money for water heaters, leaking roof, plumbers, electricians, carpenters, and exterminators. More money goes in to fixing and maintaining things than making them beautiful. Welcome to home ownership!!!
My husband and I have a 1908 bungalow. Our hallway is very wide, and spans the entire length of the house- it is quite literally its own room. All of the rooms open from the hallway, but are also interconnected (Victorian “air conditioning”). I found a huge, beautiful Beaux Arts print, and picked a color out of it for the hallway. I then painted and designed each room to coordinate with the print and hallway. So much fun! We left our trim unpainted- it’s pristine and I would hate to cover up the wood, but to each their own. Btws, our dining room is a raspberry red. I love it 🙂💛
I really like watching Ariel Bissett and her „Ariel builds her house“ (or similarly named series). And I am happy - besides the other chosen colors - to see the reds and greens. They will suit small people‘s sensory perciptivity for colors even better. You made intergenerational choices, Hannah 😊
Last time you guys did a cross-country move, I did one as well! And funnily enough, I recently purchased a home so we are moving once more in the same time frame! Loving life’s little parallels :) take care
lovely aesthetic, the muted red you selected is soo inspiring. a suggestion though.. those ikea acrylic chairs are not the most comfortable. i think it's important for dining chairs to be comfy if you're using it for that purpose. xox
Nick Lewis has a lot of good interior design content especially in relation to what types of furniture etc will last through trends and not look dated in a few years
I loved this! So good to see all of the mental gymnastics that happens when you're planning out your space holistically. This is the kind of content I wanted to find when I was renovating my kitchen and bathroom. Everyone shows the construction and final finishes but not the hours and hours spent researching products and making decisions between what things to buy/what to put back, and aligning all your pieces to the vision you had at the start, without getting derailed by all the beautiful things and different directions to go! An architect I follow (undercover architect) describes projects in 4 steps; pre-design, design, pre-build, and build, could be good to follow that format for content creation so you cover all the stages? 😊
Thanks for sharing your thought process. I really like your pictures of your important existing possessions that you want to feature and enjoy in your new spaces. More of that, especially art, textiles and objeçt-finishes will help your mood board. I loved your proportional dots exercises. The continuity color that seems to be missing is the floor color and texture. If you decide not to go with continuous color drenching, door, window and trim color can also be continuity opportunities for visual flow as you move from room to room. The architecture in your pictures is gorgeous. The arches frame each "VIEW" into each room. Try to imagine each view from each room including natural daylight and night time electric lighting that you intend. Then look at the transition edges for each color change. A bedroom can be color drenched with a clear color edge at the door frame. Even if the door and frame are "drenched" there is a clear inside color and outside color, even when the door opens into the bedroom with the non- bedroom color. The trickier transitions will be deciding how to handle color changes at the arches that are plaster without wood trim. I am a big fan of only changing colors at inside corners or trim edges. One way of handling the all-plaster arches is to paint both sides of the arch wall the same color so it looks like a solid architectural element or mass. So, if you color-drenched the dining room, carry that color around the outside edges of the arches into the next room all the way into the inside corner of that arch-wall in the next room. That will visually make the size of the dining room seem larger because the space now includes both sides of the dining room walls. That might also make the dining room feel less like a pass,-through space and more like its own color-anchored space. If you are looking for inspiration, I think art museums are very good at handling color transitions, especially when they are displaying special traveling exhibits. I believe virtual tours of some museums are available online at museum websites or via "street view" on Google maps. BTW, it may be possible to think of your green as a neutral color in the same way that navy blue is sometimes considered neutral. Just a thought. Your outfit video where you talk about starting an outfit by picking practical shoes for your day's activities and weather influences me daily. I am wondering if you have identified what your "practical shoes" are for each of your rooms. What is the practical starting item for each room? Start with lighting? Start with chairs? I love your wardrobe videos and I look forward to enjoying your home decor videos. I love color.
I was JUST thinking about how earthy bold greens here and there throughout in glass and plants and curtains and pillows, lil pops of it, would go SO beautifully to tie it all together. And then I saw that the section I was on was called earthy greens lol. I feel like watching your videos for a couple years has taught me about your wonderful understanding of colours and designs
My favorite interior design vlog type youtuber is Ariel Bisset! I love the somewhat loose format but her explanations and talk-through her choices are always very captivating, not to mention she has really interesting tastes and doesn't shy away from color! More youthful in spirit but I just wanted to share my fav for inspiration if it strikes!
This is BY FAR the best decorating content I’ve ever seen on RUclips, or maybe anywhere. For real. I love how your methodical approach makes the task of pulling together a cohesive look seem truly attainable and accessible. I’m inspired, and thinking about how to adapt the approach to a room that is already furnished and therefore has some constraints. I also love the iterative nature of the process - building the color palette based on your inspo photos and then reworking the proportions…going over the same ground. (I feel like there’s a poetry metaphor in here somewhere…the decorating version of a sestina?) Congrats on the house purchase and I look forward to seeing how it all develops! Finally, I’ll nth the recommendation others are making for Caroline Winkler’s channel. She had a video recently about how to make your home luxurious that was really great - an antidote to all the “how to make your home look expensive” content out there. I don’t care if my home looks expensive! I want it to be comfortable, attractive, functional, and meaningful…which is pretty much exactly her definition of luxury. Sorry for the novel, I don’t comment often but when the spirit does move me, well…
All i can say is do what you want and love. My house as a whole is SUPER blue (like both dark navy ish and baby ish blue) almost everywhere started from kitchen and living room, and we took that with beige and grey through the entire house along with a lot of green in plants and decor. I also really loved dark, dark wood furniture and white furniture. I LOVE IT. Everyone told me not to do it, until they saw how it came together and it’s beautiful. Im still in love with it every day. Its this amazing mixture between new and old vibe, but old done well. So go for it. I’m sure you’ll do it well.
What a beauty palette! And I think that the vibrant watermelon red could easily live harmoniously in that space as a beautiful lamp or bowl or textile something. What a happy accident that green cupboard is. It’s such a joyful piece of furniture.
Risk it like a biscuit with any wall paint!! (dramatic or not, saturated or not). You can always paint over. I say this as a visual artist with artist friends who also sometimes work doing high end faux-finished interiors on Park Avenue. We tend to be risky with the paint, and it's worth it. You can always paint over. Quick anecdote re: the salmon color. Years ago, I went to a big dinner with a bunch of artists from my college. It was at the home of a couple of students (24-year-old married couple). The living room AND dining room were the terracotta/salmon just like your Pinterest pics. It turns out the wife had painted it herself the day before, without consulting her husband, so he was pretty surprised when he got home from work. The consensus around the table was that we all loved it. (Sorry this is so long but I seem to have a lot to say about color in the home). And Ok--I will add this--my advice is to be more emotional than cerebral about your color choices. My own bedroom is deep aqua green with rusty orange sheer curtains, white painted wood floor, white vintage chenille bedspread--because it evokes a room from my childhood. And I'm so happy with it.
Never Too Small has a compelling approach for showing spaces and explaining the thoughts that shaped them. The dining room color reminded me of How To Renovate a Château and their dining room. The evolution of your visuals from grid images & dots to the programmatic array of proportioned reference was rather inspiring. I look forward to seeing both what and how you will show this branch of your applied aesthetic explorations.
I love Caroline Winkler and Paige Wassel! Caroline is so good at articulating problems with interiors and then solving those problems. Paige is very good at styling spaces and adding unique elements to her own style. Both have different styles than each other and you but if you don’t already watch them, check them out! I Love the mood board btw. We’ve been in our home for almost two years and I have yet to paint a wall. Also I think allowing a space to be flexible with kids’ toys and gear is also important. It has kept me grounded from unrealistic expectations of how my space ‘should’ look. Crayon on the walls will happen, and maybe it’s frustrating at the time but I know there will be a point in my life when I will cherish those messy characteristics.
I have done color drenching before with the exception of the trim. Crown molding or wood trim is a commitment. You can paint over a wall, but you would have to strip the wood or replace the molding. The natural wood trim in your house would be beautiful. And a pop of green will be lovely! In my opinion! You do you! Have fun!
When I feel downtrodden about my home, when I lament that all the perfection I want is lacking, I remind myself that my hands down favourite homes I have ever spent time in have been very comfortable and well lived in. They have been rife with imperfections and lacking in updates and modernizations. A whole new home to decorate and make beautiful !! How exciting !! Love the ideas and the inspirations. ❤
I painted my low ceiling family/dining room in my apartment a deep forest green called Duck from Farrow and Ball (thanks to you mentioning them when you moved into the place you’re about to leave). And as I was painting the room with my Dad he asked if I was sure because it was so so dark…fast forward, it’s been two years and I’ve loved it every day ;) so I say go for it!!!
I recently moved and colour drenched my bedroom a sage green with dark forest green curtains and bedspread and I love it. It really helps to create the sense of restlesfullness and calm I need at night. I also painted my office a rich mauve and then painted the ceiling a rich berry and pulled it slightly down the walls. By comparison to the bedroom its still peaceful but its bright and inspiring - more office-appropriate. I love it so much
Such fantastic graphics at the end! Loved the breakdown. And over the MOON that the new house is a purchase for you guys! How absolutely incredible and congrats!
Love this video! I’m a BIG fan of colour drenching and painting the ceiling. Absolutely go for the rusty salmon in the dining 🙌🏻 What also results in a dramatic but not overwhelming room is a painted ceiling, and top 20 cm of the walls, with the rest of the walls a neutral. Have fun decorating! Can’t wait to see the final result.
You'll be happy with the green pieces! The interior walls of our house are varying shades of a light-mid-and deeper tone of a greenish gray ~ everyone who comes over asks us ~ what is that wonderful color? It makes the house more cohesive (IMO) and no matter what decor ~ furniture ~ accessories ~ art work ~ it goes with that greenish gray color.
Congratulations on your new space! I think color drenching your dining room is definitely on the right track and I particularly love the Farrow and ball color that’s on your Pinterest board. I almost painted the wainscoting in my dining room that color. But I think what I would suggest for you instead of using the strong color of all of your dining pieces. What if you took the color of the edge of your beautiful dishware and color drench the room with that color? So that your beautiful pieces really stand out against that background. Also, just from my experience of painting, ceilings, different colors, you get a reflect off of that ceiling from the light that’s coming into the room so you will have a reddish halo of light during the day, which may not be as desirable as that cast during the evening. I wish you love and peace in your home and thank you for sharing the journey with us! I truly hope you found this helpful!
I've been following Terry Barber and I would love to see you make eyeshadow looks or lip looks or even blush looks based on your interior design mood board pictures!
Congratulations on buying a house!! I'm so happy for you and Joe. 💜🌻 Also I would absolutely LOVE to see all the house content! Moving vlogs, fixing things up, interior design.. I'm in for any and all of it! I love a little home and lifestyle mixed in with beauty. 😸
Hi Hannah, I’m located in Australia. When I renovated my bathroom 9 years ago, brass and bronze items were only just filtering through to off the shelf mainstream fixtures I could buy here (the US market had plenty thanks to the likes of Restoration Hardware). I resorted to powder coating and even electroplating the items I needed to be bronze. I know you have settled on featuring a “pop” of green, but there is always an option to powder coat the cabinet another colour 🙂
First of all, congratulations on ALL the changes you’ve gone through lately. Baby, book, buying a house (and maybe others we don’t know about or that I’m missing). It is SO wonderful to see you going through all this gloriousness! Second.. girl, how do you not have more subscribers?? Your videos are very well thought out, edited, and put together, I really don’t get how your channel isn’t bigger than it is! Hope that will be the next big change coming your way, boom in viewership and subscriber count 🎉
Eeee congrats, that's so exciting!! Although probably unrealistic for a band of 2 filming a project, I love Alexandra Gater's makeover content, she talks through the key pieces and how they relate to the overall theme or mood of the room and, of course, includes delightfully satisfying before and after shots.
re: color drenching, a channel I used to follow that I think has since been taken down did a tiny color drenched nook but using different finishes, so the typical eggshell for the walls, matte for ceiling and semigloss for trim. more so than just some things being shinier than others, it made the trim color beautifully intense while the walls were just slightly muted by comparison. (she also used a “moroccan red” that is first cousins with your rusty terracotta.) your mood board just brought that technique to mind so I thought I’d mention it!
I feel like the best format would be similar to that of your fashion content. Start with sharing a mood board for what you would like in the room and then follow up with the transformation with some explanation of your thought process. I'm excited to see what you do with the new space.
I recently bought a condo and painted one room before moving in. My bedroom walls are purple, and the ceiling is dark blue covered in holographic silver glitter. It's like the night sky and makes me so happy. Color is so much fun to play with. Best of luck with figuring out what you want for your new home!
What a beautiful mood board. I’ll be interested to see how the house speaks to you once you are actually in it. There are so many factors of light and shadow and warmth that you can’t conceptualize without spending some time there in different seasons. And if it’s an old house, it might have its own logic you haven’t seen yet. So excited to follow along and see what you end up choosing!
I love color drenching! I was scared, that I’d hate the intensity of it over time though. Then I thought of using scalable shades of the main color. As in, adding white to my main color for the woodwork and then adding white again for the ceiling. I think I have mixed feelings about the result. I love, love, love it…and I kinda wish I had been more fearless in a way too. And I think your color scheme is perfect!!
I am also going to recommend Ariel Bissett's house series specifically because it is very grounded in reality and the time it takes to make things happen in a house reno. She's also not a professional interior designer and is really avoiding trends or tried and true design tips and just doing what her heart wants
I would have painted an adjecent room that red colour and had a nice wallpaper with that colour in it as you have chairs and everything else in that red colour. But I really like the idea of this warm red hart in the middle of the house! Brilliant idea! 👌
At this point in the video 19:29, looking at your board, I was thinking some forest green would tie everything together. Btw, can't stop staring at your hair, the makeup and the brown sweater!
I have F&B dauphin in my dining room, smoked trout in the bedrooms, sulking room pink in the bathroom, and schoolhouse white everywhere else. they make the most beautiful colors!! but we also use lots of green as an accent color, I feel like it works so well in the off-white rooms especially. excited to see how your new place comes together!!
Too late to comment? Didn't know that this way of decorating (colour drenching) had a name, until i saw this video. I colour drenched my bedroom many years ago. In a light colour. Got inspired to do it in a dark colour, when I saw the tv series Downton Abbey. The butler's room downstairs is colour drenched in a mud colour. I'm tempted to try Cardmom from F&B. I'm looking forward to seeing more decorating videos from you. And please, more videos about poems.
So interesting. I did this in my last home, painted my dining room, basically, the colour you are referring to. It was lovely. I tired of it and wanted to change it, but was met with such fierce opposition from my children, that I left it red.
I would also consider using art as a bridge. If you can get a piece of art you love, or if you already have one that brings together the red and yellow you love then centering that can really help to tie in the rooms
How exciting. It’s so much fun creating and curating your space in a home you own. This might be quite an Australian perspective, as we don’t have snowy winters, but considering the outside and how it interacts with the colours and forms inside is worth doing. Looks like you have a bit of yard space. Hope you will have fun designing that area too.
Love your color scheme. It’s interesting but still serene. Love this kind of content because 1) it seems consistent with the rest of your content, which I always enjoy; and 2) color schemes make my heart beat faster. Especially F&B color schemes. We had a F&B color consultation for a flat in the UK and it was really useful. We generally knew what we wanted, as you do, but with different the different aspects of the rooms, different uses for rooms, different amounts of light, including a long dark hall, etc it was really excellent to have that consultation. Which white do you want in which room? Which color red will give you the effect you want? The colors they suggested have turned out to be perfect. The consultation wasn’t that expensive and might be interesting content.
A few tipps for everyone, who is interested: Always keep in mind, what kind of TEMPERATURE (warm/cool/neutral) do you want a room to be with the knowledge of WHEN (time of day/week/...) and HOW (what part of the world) you are in. Meaning: a dining room is used later in the day (=lack of sunshine) in a lively way (entertaining guests/family), so creating warmth (like a warm salmon/red) and energy is a great idea. And due to what part of the world you life in (= how much warmth due to sunlight/artificial warmer light) already is there, the more restricted a colourpallet can be. So Hannah: the colours you picked work great for the rooms, you have chosen. Ocre is great, because it is a mix of warmth (=yellow) and grounding (=beige/brown). I would keep the rest of the house also warmer, if you choose a white. Also: never forget to paint your front door as a guide for people what to expact when entering your home!!!
I really enjoy (as I think I've seen a couple people say already) Ariel Bissett for house stuff as well as Caroline Winkler. Will also put out Rachel Maksy - though when she does house/decor stuff it's more on the side of cottage/fantasy vibes but I love her - highly chaotic.
Ok, I have a white paint color, I love it so much that i offer it unsolicited to anyone interested. I color drenched the outside of my house in it (besides the front door). I also have several spaces in my house painted in it. It’d call it a warm neutral white. It’s slightly creamy but the undertones both have warm and cool in them making it very versatile. It’s Sherwin Williams alabaster! Highly recommend! I think it’d go great with your warm color choices.
Congratulations on buying a new home! I love Ariel Bissett's content on her home renovations. I imagine you won't be making such extensive changes to your new home, but the form and intentionality of her content makes it both soothing and informative. Maybe there's inspiration there for you. I will also say that in the last two years or so I have gravitated away from makeup content (how I first found you) and am much more interested aesthetically in clothing and interiors. Still, I love your channel and am excited to see some broader content from you outside of makeup!
This was my favorite video of yours! I always stare at the wall behind you because I love the color of it and how well it compliments your skin. Dead Salmon!? lol - What is the real name of that paint? Also - I have a warm terracotta kitchen and painted one wall of my dining room that coral-red color. The rest is a very pale peach. I craved it and that was the era of doing one wall different and I still love it and the combination. When you were talking about the green furniture piece I was so excited! I was yes yes do it - a perfect accent - and don't forget about plants! And then you mentioned the plants so I was happy. I feel like if colors in the home reflect more natural colors, as yours do, you do not get tired of them. I think what you have chosen so far will be amazing and I can't wait to see more of the process.
There is a set of coloured pencils called Derwent Drawing, the entire range is 24 colours, and they are all earthy, harmonious, gorgeous colours. I feel like those colours would be an excellent starting point for beautiful interiors, if you wanted to play around with colour combinations.
A profound and practical reason to avoid sharp corners, especially when moving from room to room a lot: your child. Sharp furniture is not friendly to children. How nice that elegance can serve such a purpose!
Yasssss for colour drenching!!! We colour drenched our bedroom over NZ summer just been in a sage green colour and with all our cream/oat decor and green monstera plant, it looks absolutely incredible. Do it!!! it's just paint, it can be redone if it doesn't work.
I love all of Ariel Bissett's home remodeling videos. At least from the outside it seems as though the production of her videos is not as intense as many other home remodeling channels iv seen. Her storytelling is great and her videos portray a realistic, un-rushed and inadvertently anti-consumerist way of sprucing up an entire house.
Yes colour!!! We did farrow and ball incarnadine in our bedroom and it’s a slightly cooler red but in that beautiful vintage/muted way they do, and I love it so much. Our bedroom is a boat cabin that is also our front hallway, so it was a complex space, we did three walls surrounding the bed in the red and then did the fourth wall which extends into a longer hallway to the back of the boat in calke green (so you can see it from the living room, kitchen and bedroom, exactly as you mentioned!) and it came out vintage but modern but vibrant and we couldn’t be more happy with it!
Hi Hannah-congrats and good luck! Regarding choosing colors, one thing I don’t think you mentioned is the amount/quality of light each room gets, which is critical in deciding how intense to go with the colors you choose, because it will affect the room’s atmosphere / how you feel in it at different times of day, etc. Since you love beautiful things, I think you might enjoy the book “Color Palettes” by Suzanne Butterfield - the rooms and the paint colors are gorgeous. I’m not sure if it’s still in print but a library may have it. She features Donald Kaufman paints (very pricey, like Farrow & Ball) but if you’re just looking for inspiration I don’t think that really matters.
The ikea story was just so beautiful it made me cry ❤. Love throws a wrench in all of our perfectly laid plans, and they turn out better than we could ever have imagined alone
My dining room is a matt dark cranberry red, absolutely love it. It’s a dark room and painting it light only made it look cold but it now looks warm and cosy, not colour drenched but there is a lot of red , fireplace is painted black so that adds to the drama. House is Edwardian so original features have to be considered
Give this comment a thumbs up if you're eager for Hannah and Joe to immerse us in their new home journey! We're not just wanting for a sprinkle; we want to be fully drenched! ☺️ Congratulations, Hannah and Joe!
Joe did you a huge favor. The green adds depth and sophistication.
How exciting! I have loved seeing your journey over the years, from apartment, to living with friends, getting married to Joe, to now becoming a mom. All your hard work has paid off. ❤
And an author ❤

I've always read through the years that yellow should never be used for bedrooms. Too stimulating to the brain and subconsciously not restful. Just depends, I guess. Good luck! 😊
In addition to Ariel, also check out Caroline Winkler. Her video style and her design choices are different enough from Ariel’s that they complement without overlapping.
Right up until you said “green,” I was worried that you weren’t going to have any. With all those warm colors, it’s nice to have a little contrast.
So here’s some unsolicited advice: Since your whole house will be basically pale beige/warm white, and you’ll be able to see your color-drenched dining room from the living room, make sure you have at least one piece of living room furniture that is in the same family as the dining room paint, plus maybe a couple of accents that are a similar color, and get a pop of your green in there as well. If your living room doesn’t have anything that ties it to the dining room, the dining room may look out of place, like you had one great isolated idea. If the bedroom door is always closed, you’ll visually have only one colorful room.
Can’t wait to see what you do! I’m 100% here for this!
🥰🥰🥰
LOVE Caroline!
This is an excellent idea! I loved the color pallette/story you chose, Hannah, I think it will end up looking amazing.
Also commented Caroline Winkler! I love to see the talk through at the end and Hannah has a similar way of explaining the thought process
hannah x caroline is a dream combo for sure ❤❤❤
and yes, i was literally sitting there staring at the empty space of the mood board going 'green. it's green. you need green in there. green is the missing link. go green' 🙏 and happy squealing at the beautiful reveal 😂
When you were talking about adding some green - specifically how any green items would fit in because you would have plants in the space and plants are green - it reminded me of something i think of often when thinking about my own colour palette preferences: "Green is nature's neutral." And then I realised! I'm pretty sure I first read that phrase in the comment section of a different video of yours, Hannah! So it was a funny little full circle moment for me. And if the commenter who originally left that comment is reading this I'd just like to say that reading that little phrase kind of changed my life, as a green enthusiast. I'll be out for a walk and admire some leaves and think to myself "see! nature's neutral!" and then feel better about how many green items of clothing I own.
Yesssss
my bedroom and kitchen/living area (tiny apartment) are drenched forest green. green is MY white.
@@oruga9737 I love green as well! It’s funny I like white if it’s the messy Parisian writers lived in apt! Ha but my mood now is cozy eclectic and dark I love how Hannah does the mood boards! This sure inspired me…to waist more hrs on Pinterest I’m a Virgo I research things to death before I make a decision!!
Yessssss
wow so true! that perfectly explains why green feels like such a safe but also slightly boring choice to me! at least 60% of my interior is green and i do like it that way but often wish i could be more adventurous. maybe a flower bouquet palette could work, with mostly yellow, red and pink and a few blues and purples... 🤔 definitely food for thought ❤
This is such a well-produced video! Both visually and narratively. Engaging, beautiful, thought-provoking, inspiring! And all my walls are egg white, so this excitement for wall colours doesn't come natural to me 😂
I read somewhere that coffee isn’t a beverage, it’s a state of being. Your videos always strike that same chord-whether you’re taking about wardrobe curation, conscious consumerism, poetry (super enjoying the book!), or now interior aesthetics, your videos create an inspired “state of being”, a launch toward intentionality in daily living that reminds me of Mary Oliver’s “what is that you plan to do with your one wild and precious life?”. I’m certain your home will be the same! Congrats!
P.S. Book suggestion for you: Matrescence by Lucy Jones
Love the color drenching idea for you. One thought. If you love your tableware because of its boldness choosing a color too close to it will rob that effect. Something complimentary might suit your personalities better. The earthy tones might, indeed, be the best idea.
Yes I was thinking the same thing! I have a signature color in my kitchen too but the walls are painted white with one accent wall to allow all the decor to stand out instead of blending into the walls
I love the way Katrina Zebrowska has shared her home reno! The way she approaches it feels very in line with your thinking (thoughtful, well-researched, intentional, etc.) Especially how she structure the videos. It's very much "this is everything I've been able to do since the last video because life." I'm very excited to watch your vision unfold 😍
Love Karolina as well, she did such a great job with her flat!☺️🙌
If Salmon and Chocolate had a baby, that would be the color of the heart of my home and I adore it
Rose taupe ❤
lighter and less saturated but yes@@emilyawood
Would you share the paint name of this lovely color?
@@emsilverman2 I would if I hadn't mixed it myself with a mistinted gallon of brown and the pinky whites cans left in the house by the previous owner. Sorry. I guess this is part of the blessing and curse of years of art. I have no trouble mixing paint but no way to share it for others to copy
I color drenched my bedroom 4 years ago and i still love it. Its a dark green, dark forest. It feels like a delicious cave and its great for day naps which are extremely important to me. Its perfect and correct.
My bedroom walls are dark green, which I love, but the ceiling is white. Something about the room just hasn’t been sitting well with me, and I think it’s the contrast between the white ceiling/white trim and dark walls. I’ve been considering if I should repaint the walls a lighter color or color drench in the dark green. The ceilings are somewhat low, so that concerned me. The dark green does feel both moody and so restful. I appreciate your comment. I think I might color drench! 🩷🦩🌺
@@TheFlamingoHouse Go for it!
I love color drenching and am ALWAYS for painting ceilings to match. Creating a seamless background color is a glide for the eye.
It’s sooooo soothing! I find darker colors make room bigger but also make me feel cozy!
@@heavenj7I am painting our powder room floor to ceiling black green. Just waiting for summer and free time.
@@melbygrace I’m trying to decide if If I want to hire a super cheap painter or do it myself! I do live on cape cod and sometimes I want a Scandi white blues taupes etc but I’ve always been a dark color gal ha there’s some Brit influencers I watch and I love how they really do up the powder room! Some had black wall paper with a botanical print and gold flusher with golden pipes up to the ceilings etc ha those people in England have some funky toilets!! 🚽
Hi! I have to mention (and I'm so sorry if this panics you, hopefully it won't!) I can't help noticing that almost all of your inspo images are of high-ceilinged rooms with enormous windows and your circular swatches at the end all show areas of the rooms where lots of natural light is really evenly bouncing off walls and features. The colour drenching looks great in these images but will be more oppressive in the house you're moving into (even though it's a beautiful house!) where the ceilings are low, so the drenching won't look as casually elegant as it does in high-ceilinged rooms. Another thing to take into consideration is that it looks like there are multiple windows in each of the rooms of your new place but they are small, so the effect visible in the photos is that you have small patches of natural light punctuating otherwise moody, dim rooms. White will therefore not have quite the same effect as it does in the high ceiling rooms you are taking inspiration from as those have very big windows which fill the space with light so that white really shines. You may want to just look for some images of colour-drenched rooms with the same sort of ceiling height as yours before making any decisions to check that you like the effect... I personally think a low-ceilinged ochre-drenched bedroom would be gorgeous but you might not. I love the bathroom inspo images you're going for and I think you will rise to the low ceiling challenge really well with your taste. I just wanted to point it out and I hope it's helpful! Love the green accent pieces as well. The interior designer Beata Heumann has some very reassuring advice on how you always want one thing in a room that throws off the rest of the colour pallete just so that it doesn't look too 'designed' and your green items exemplify that perfectly! I really look forward to seeing more house updates, PLEASE do document the journey!
I have a BFA in Interior Design and I have to agree. But I also know with certainty you will create a phenomenally aesthetic home for your family 😊 if you do paint red, think of your priming paint as an undertone in a foundation. It will really help to get it to feel the way you want.
When you said you were going to color drench…I immediately thought…she’s gonna pick orangey red. I think I have watched your channel for awhile. 😜 I totally love all your ideas. They feel very you. The white will also be a wonderful backdrop for all of your art. ❤ I can’t wait to watch the process.
I have a dear friend who has painted the kitchen in each of the several homes she's owned over her lifetime, in a pumpkin orange. I LOVE it.
When you got to the "And Then..." I was like: "It's going to be green" 🤣 I love it!!!
GO for it, it's only paint! It's always fixable or re-doable!
As a color strategist, I'm jumping up and down about your process and discoveries. And maybe to no surprise, your upper-right pink hue has so much in common with the Merit lipstick case color. Paint on--and remember you can paint closet interiors or even the interior door trim saturated colors like the watermelon. Congrats on flowing with all the changes.
My recommendations for content creators with great aesthetic taste are Arvin Olano, Paige Wassel, Caroline Winkler and Noah Daniel 😊
Had to come looking for this comment to upvote. Caroline & Paige both have great taste and I like that they incorporate stuff you can usually find secondhand. Will have to check out the other two recs
Hannah, congrats on your new home!
I am always so wowed with your thinking process and the presentation of anything! ❤
You could be talking about a broken boiler for two hours and I would be listening like it’s the most exciting topic ever 😊
I painted my office in Joa's White. The pictures online make it seem like a much more tan/taupe neutral color - when on the wall in all light types it comes off very, very peachy and not even an off white as it's quite saturated. It does compliment your rusty terra cottas and your greens beautifully.
No matter what colors you pick, don't worry as I swear just changing the lighting completely changes the color and ambiance of the room. Seriously just change the bulbs in your fixtures from warm to cool or to daylight and it completely changes the landscape of the room. That more of a hot pink dining room could become a much more muted "dirty" color that you sound like you might be seeking with lights that have amber shades and warm bulbs in them. And changing out a bulb is so much cheaper and easier than repainting the room. ;-)
You're totally gonna smash it with whatever you choose. Congratulations on the new home!
great advice! thank you
Xo Macenna and Ariel Bassett have done great jobs at documenting home upgrades!
Ariel Bassett definitely. I think she hits a good level of showing the work but it's also she's just really good company: a decor version of HLP shouldn't deprive is of listening to her
i love ariel's series!
Hi all, love Ariel's series! Just a note, it's Bissett (just wrote it because I wouldn't want anyone to search for her and not find her videos!)
Nick Lewis is a lot of fun when it comes to interior design. He addresses all of these design styles that you are thinking about and I find him entertaining. If you haven’t found him yet, find him. Food for thought, if the walls are the same colors as your plates, etc, do the plates stand out or do they disappear? Paint is cheap and easy to change, so go for something fun for sure. You’ll figure something out and will be fine with what you create. It is yours. Also, kids ruin everything so don’t grow too attached to anything. Dishes will break, lots of ugly primary colored plastic makes an appearance. There is a high probability that those beautiful rust or ochre sheets will be cut with paper pinking shears or have permanent marker scribbles, or super glue on them so be prepared for dramatic change at a moment’s notice. Also, set aside money for water heaters, leaking roof, plumbers, electricians, carpenters, and exterminators. More money goes in to fixing and maintaining things than making them beautiful. Welcome to home ownership!!!
That green would be lovely color-drenching a nursery... very foresty and magical.
I have had a terracotta room in our 2 last homes for the last 40 years! I love it so much! Go for it, girl!❤
I think I’m the only one anything peach to terracotta makes me think of Florida and golden girls ha! But hey everyone has a favorite!! 😍
This is exciting! I went bold with color in my first place and loved it. I recommend both Caroline Winkler and Paige Wassel.
Oh Paige, she's a bit surly, in the positive way that I see it, to make me enjoy her videos immensely. Excellent choice
@@elizabethhannah6836 Haha --I have lived in NYC for 30 years so Chicago-level surly rolls like water off a duck's back :-)
My husband and I have a 1908 bungalow. Our hallway is very wide, and spans the entire length of the house- it is quite literally its own room. All of the rooms open from the hallway, but are also interconnected (Victorian “air conditioning”). I found a huge, beautiful Beaux Arts print, and picked a color out of it for the hallway. I then painted and designed each room to coordinate with the print and hallway. So much fun! We left our trim unpainted- it’s pristine and I would hate to cover up the wood, but to each their own. Btws, our dining room is a raspberry red. I love it 🙂💛
I really like watching Ariel Bissett and her „Ariel builds her house“ (or similarly named series). And I am happy - besides the other chosen colors - to see the reds and greens. They will suit small people‘s sensory perciptivity for colors even better. You made intergenerational choices, Hannah 😊
I agree. Yes on Ariel. She’s big into color, and her before-during-after video work is well done.
Green is a beautiful decorating color because it doesn’t tend to clash with anything.
Last time you guys did a cross-country move, I did one as well! And funnily enough, I recently purchased a home so we are moving once more in the same time frame! Loving life’s little parallels :) take care
but are you also AGONIZING OVER PAINT COLORS lol :)
The reds you chose for the dining room,are perfect,really warm,welcoming,grounded and sophisticated all at once!
This palette and mood reminded me so much of streets with old buildings in Italy with half worn off Terracota and Ochre stucco... love it!
I like how Karolina Zebrowska showed the transformation of her apartment ❤
lovely aesthetic, the muted red you selected is soo inspiring. a suggestion though.. those ikea acrylic chairs are not the most comfortable. i think it's important for dining chairs to be comfy if you're using it for that purpose. xox
Nick Lewis has a lot of good interior design content especially in relation to what types of furniture etc will last through trends and not look dated in a few years
I loved this! So good to see all of the mental gymnastics that happens when you're planning out your space holistically. This is the kind of content I wanted to find when I was renovating my kitchen and bathroom. Everyone shows the construction and final finishes but not the hours and hours spent researching products and making decisions between what things to buy/what to put back, and aligning all your pieces to the vision you had at the start, without getting derailed by all the beautiful things and different directions to go!
An architect I follow (undercover architect) describes projects in 4 steps; pre-design, design, pre-build, and build, could be good to follow that format for content creation so you cover all the stages? 😊
Thanks for sharing your thought process. I really like your pictures of your important existing possessions that you want to feature and enjoy in your new spaces. More of that, especially art, textiles and objeçt-finishes will help your mood board. I loved your proportional dots exercises. The continuity color that seems to be missing is the floor color and texture. If you decide not to go with continuous color drenching, door, window and trim color can also be continuity opportunities for visual flow as you move from room to room.
The architecture in your pictures is gorgeous. The arches frame each "VIEW" into each room. Try to imagine each view from each room including natural daylight and night time electric lighting that you intend. Then look at the transition edges for each color change. A bedroom can be color drenched with a clear color edge at the door frame. Even if the door and frame are "drenched" there is a clear inside color and outside color, even when the door opens into the bedroom with the non- bedroom color.
The trickier transitions will be deciding how to handle color changes at the arches that are plaster without wood trim. I am a big fan of only changing colors at inside corners or trim edges. One way of handling the all-plaster arches is to paint both sides of the arch wall the same color so it looks like a solid architectural element or mass.
So, if you color-drenched the dining room, carry that color around the outside edges of the arches into the next room all the way into the inside corner of that arch-wall in the next room. That will visually make the size of the dining room seem larger because the space now includes both sides of the dining room walls. That might also make the dining room feel less like a pass,-through space and more like its own color-anchored space.
If you are looking for inspiration, I think art museums are very good at handling color transitions, especially when they are displaying special traveling exhibits. I believe virtual tours of some museums are available online at museum websites or via "street view" on Google maps.
BTW, it may be possible to think of your green as a neutral color in the same way that navy blue is sometimes considered neutral. Just a thought.
Your outfit video where you talk about starting an outfit by picking practical shoes for your day's activities and weather influences me daily. I am wondering if you have identified what your "practical shoes" are for each of your rooms. What is the practical starting item for each room? Start with lighting? Start with chairs?
I love your wardrobe videos and I look forward to enjoying your home decor videos. I love color.
I was JUST thinking about how earthy bold greens here and there throughout in glass and plants and curtains and pillows, lil pops of it, would go SO beautifully to tie it all together. And then I saw that the section I was on was called earthy greens lol. I feel like watching your videos for a couple years has taught me about your wonderful understanding of colours and designs
My favorite interior design vlog type youtuber is Ariel Bisset! I love the somewhat loose format but her explanations and talk-through her choices are always very captivating, not to mention she has really interesting tastes and doesn't shy away from color! More youthful in spirit but I just wanted to share my fav for inspiration if it strikes!
Honestly, even though this isn’t what I showed up for, HLP moving/home reno content is my favorite
This is BY FAR the best decorating content I’ve ever seen on RUclips, or maybe anywhere. For real. I love how your methodical approach makes the task of pulling together a cohesive look seem truly attainable and accessible. I’m inspired, and thinking about how to adapt the approach to a room that is already furnished and therefore has some constraints. I also love the iterative nature of the process - building the color palette based on your inspo photos and then reworking the proportions…going over the same ground. (I feel like there’s a poetry metaphor in here somewhere…the decorating version of a sestina?)
Congrats on the house purchase and I look forward to seeing how it all develops!
Finally, I’ll nth the recommendation others are making for Caroline Winkler’s channel. She had a video recently about how to make your home luxurious that was really great - an antidote to all the “how to make your home look expensive” content out there. I don’t care if my home looks expensive! I want it to be comfortable, attractive, functional, and meaningful…which is pretty much exactly her definition of luxury.
Sorry for the novel, I don’t comment often but when the spirit does move me, well…
All i can say is do what you want and love. My house as a whole is SUPER blue (like both dark navy ish and baby ish blue) almost everywhere started from kitchen and living room, and we took that with beige and grey through the entire house along with a lot of green in plants and decor. I also really loved dark, dark wood furniture and white furniture. I LOVE IT. Everyone told me not to do it, until they saw how it came together and it’s beautiful. Im still in love with it every day. Its this amazing mixture between new and old vibe, but old done well. So go for it. I’m sure you’ll do it well.
What a beauty palette! And I think that the vibrant watermelon red could easily live harmoniously in that space as a beautiful lamp or bowl or textile something. What a happy accident that green cupboard is. It’s such a joyful piece of furniture.
I want to see everything ♥️ I love love interiors content!!! I’m very excited!
Risk it like a biscuit with any wall paint!! (dramatic or not, saturated or not). You can always paint over. I say this as a visual artist with artist friends who also sometimes work doing high end faux-finished interiors on Park Avenue. We tend to be risky with the paint, and it's worth it. You can always paint over. Quick anecdote re: the salmon color. Years ago, I went to a big dinner with a bunch of artists from my college. It was at the home of a couple of students (24-year-old married couple). The living room AND dining room were the terracotta/salmon just like your Pinterest pics. It turns out the wife had painted it herself the day before, without consulting her husband, so he was pretty surprised when he got home from work. The consensus around the table was that we all loved it. (Sorry this is so long but I seem to have a lot to say about color in the home). And Ok--I will add this--my advice is to be more emotional than cerebral about your color choices. My own bedroom is deep aqua green with rusty orange sheer curtains, white painted wood floor, white vintage chenille bedspread--because it evokes a room from my childhood. And I'm so happy with it.
I love how you showcased the colour with the different sized circles! So aesthetic love the colour scheme!
so excited for interiors content!
Never Too Small has a compelling approach for showing spaces and explaining the thoughts that shaped them.
The dining room color reminded me of How To Renovate a Château and their dining room.
The evolution of your visuals from grid images & dots to the programmatic array of proportioned reference was rather inspiring. I look forward to seeing both what and how you will show this branch of your applied aesthetic explorations.
I love Caroline Winkler and Paige Wassel! Caroline is so good at articulating problems with interiors and then solving those problems. Paige is very good at styling spaces and adding unique elements to her own style. Both have different styles than each other and you but if you don’t already watch them, check them out! I Love the mood board btw. We’ve been in our home for almost two years and I have yet to paint a wall.
Also I think allowing a space to be flexible with kids’ toys and gear is also important. It has kept me grounded from unrealistic expectations of how my space ‘should’ look. Crayon on the walls will happen, and maybe it’s frustrating at the time but I know there will be a point in my life when I will cherish those messy characteristics.
I have done color drenching before with the exception of the trim. Crown molding or wood trim is a commitment. You can paint over a wall, but you would have to strip the wood or replace the molding. The natural wood trim in your house would be beautiful. And a pop of green will be lovely! In my opinion! You do you! Have fun!
Love this! Can't wait to see the house updates!
When I feel downtrodden about my home, when I lament that all the perfection I want is lacking, I remind myself that my hands down favourite homes I have ever spent time in have been very comfortable and well lived in. They have been rife with imperfections and lacking in updates and modernizations. A whole new home to decorate and make beautiful !! How exciting !! Love the ideas and the inspirations. ❤
So glad you’re my friend❤you make me laugh and smile
I painted my low ceiling family/dining room in my apartment a deep forest green called Duck from Farrow and Ball (thanks to you mentioning them when you moved into the place you’re about to leave). And as I was painting the room with my Dad he asked if I was sure because it was so so dark…fast forward, it’s been two years and I’ve loved it every day ;) so I say go for it!!!
Also this video is high quality!!! Love the scaled circles with imagery in it
my sister's dining room is also F&B Duck Green and it's absolutely stunning!!!
I recently moved and colour drenched my bedroom a sage green with dark forest green curtains and bedspread and I love it. It really helps to create the sense of restlesfullness and calm I need at night. I also painted my office a rich mauve and then painted the ceiling a rich berry and pulled it slightly down the walls. By comparison to the bedroom its still peaceful but its bright and inspiring - more office-appropriate. I love it so much
Such fantastic graphics at the end! Loved the breakdown. And over the MOON that the new house is a purchase for you guys! How absolutely incredible and congrats!
Love this video! I’m a BIG fan of colour drenching and painting the ceiling. Absolutely go for the rusty salmon in the dining 🙌🏻 What also results in a dramatic but not overwhelming room is a painted ceiling, and top 20 cm of the walls, with the rest of the walls a neutral. Have fun decorating! Can’t wait to see the final result.
You'll be happy with the green pieces! The interior walls of our house are varying shades of a light-mid-and deeper tone of a greenish gray ~ everyone who comes over asks us ~ what is that wonderful color? It makes the house more cohesive (IMO) and no matter what decor ~ furniture ~ accessories ~ art work ~ it goes with that greenish gray color.
Congratulations on your new space! I think color drenching your dining room is definitely on the right track and I particularly love the Farrow and ball color that’s on your Pinterest board. I almost painted the wainscoting in my dining room that color. But I think what I would suggest for you instead of using the strong color of all of your dining pieces. What if you took the color of the edge of your beautiful dishware and color drench the room with that color? So that your beautiful pieces really stand out against that background. Also, just from my experience of painting, ceilings, different colors, you get a reflect off of that ceiling from the light that’s coming into the room so you will have a reddish halo of light during the day, which may not be as desirable as that cast during the evening. I wish you love and peace in your home and thank you for sharing the journey with us! I truly hope you found this helpful!

Congratulations on buying a house!! I'm so happy for you and Joe. 💜🌻 Also I would absolutely LOVE to see all the house content! Moving vlogs, fixing things up, interior design.. I'm in for any and all of it! I love a little home and lifestyle mixed in with beauty. 😸
Hi Hannah, I’m located in Australia. When I renovated my bathroom 9 years ago, brass and bronze items were only just filtering through to off the shelf mainstream fixtures I could buy here (the US market had plenty thanks to the likes of Restoration Hardware). I resorted to powder coating and even electroplating the items I needed to be bronze. I know you have settled on featuring a “pop” of green, but there is always an option to powder coat the cabinet another colour 🙂
First of all, congratulations on ALL the changes you’ve gone through lately. Baby, book, buying a house (and maybe others we don’t know about or that I’m missing). It is SO wonderful to see you going through all this gloriousness!
Second.. girl, how do you not have more subscribers?? Your videos are very well thought out, edited, and put together, I really don’t get how your channel isn’t bigger than it is! Hope that will be the next big change coming your way, boom in viewership and subscriber count 🎉
Eeee congrats, that's so exciting!!
Although probably unrealistic for a band of 2 filming a project, I love Alexandra Gater's makeover content, she talks through the key pieces and how they relate to the overall theme or mood of the room and, of course, includes delightfully satisfying before and after shots.
re: color drenching, a channel I used to follow that I think has since been taken down did a tiny color drenched nook but using different finishes, so the typical eggshell for the walls, matte for ceiling and semigloss for trim. more so than just some things being shinier than others, it made the trim color beautifully intense while the walls were just slightly muted by comparison. (she also used a “moroccan red” that is first cousins with your rusty terracotta.) your mood board just brought that technique to mind so I thought I’d mention it!
The last two blanks spots were showing in your grid and I said “you need green!” And then you chose green. Excellent!
I’m moving soon and looking at paint colors. Now I have so many more ideas to keep
in mind! Thank you!
Another vote for Ariel Bissett. Lovely series, realistic look at home reno, great use of color, tons of books, just a delight.
I feel like the best format would be similar to that of your fashion content. Start with sharing a mood board for what you would like in the room and then follow up with the transformation with some explanation of your thought process. I'm excited to see what you do with the new space.
I recently bought a condo and painted one room before moving in. My bedroom walls are purple, and the ceiling is dark blue covered in holographic silver glitter. It's like the night sky and makes me so happy. Color is so much fun to play with. Best of luck with figuring out what you want for your new home!
This was a delight to watch! I have a terracotta living room and I absolutely love it, it really warms up the space
What a beautiful mood board. I’ll be interested to see how the house speaks to you once you are actually in it. There are so many factors of light and shadow and warmth that you can’t conceptualize without spending some time there in different seasons. And if it’s an old house, it might have its own logic you haven’t seen yet. So excited to follow along and see what you end up choosing!
I love color drenching! I was scared, that I’d hate the intensity of it over time though. Then I thought of using scalable shades of the main color. As in, adding white to my main color for the woodwork and then adding white again for the ceiling. I think I have mixed feelings about the result. I love, love, love it…and I kinda wish I had been more fearless in a way too. And I think your color scheme is perfect!!
I am also going to recommend Ariel Bissett's house series specifically because it is very grounded in reality and the time it takes to make things happen in a house reno. She's also not a professional interior designer and is really avoiding trends or tried and true design tips and just doing what her heart wants
I would have painted an adjecent room that red colour and had a nice wallpaper with that colour in it as you have chairs and everything else in that red colour. But I really like the idea of this warm red hart in the middle of the house! Brilliant idea! 👌
At this point in the video 19:29, looking at your board, I was thinking some forest green would tie everything together. Btw, can't stop staring at your hair, the makeup and the brown sweater!
I have F&B dauphin in my dining room, smoked trout in the bedrooms, sulking room pink in the bathroom, and schoolhouse white everywhere else. they make the most beautiful colors!! but we also use lots of green as an accent color, I feel like it works so well in the off-white rooms especially. excited to see how your new place comes together!!
Too late to comment?
Didn't know that this way of decorating (colour drenching) had a name, until i saw this video.
I colour drenched my bedroom many years ago. In a light colour. Got inspired to do it in a dark colour, when I saw the tv series Downton Abbey. The butler's room downstairs is colour drenched in a mud colour. I'm tempted to try Cardmom from F&B.
I'm looking forward to seeing more decorating videos from you. And please, more videos about poems.
I really enjoy Paige Wassel’s home updates. I also enjoy Caroline Winkler’s videos!
Second Paige Wassel for sure. A unique and down-to-earth yt creator. I think her spaces and the spaces she features have a very lived-in feel as well.
Caroline is great!
So interesting. I did this in my last home, painted my dining room, basically, the colour you are referring to. It was lovely. I tired of it and wanted to change it, but was met with such fierce opposition from my children, that I left it red.
Farrow & Ball have beautiful yellows
I would also consider using art as a bridge. If you can get a piece of art you love, or if you already have one that brings together the red and yellow you love then centering that can really help to tie in the rooms
My favorite home renovation content is from Ariel Besset!
How exciting. It’s so much fun creating and curating your space in a home you own. This might be quite an Australian perspective, as we don’t have snowy winters, but considering the outside and how it interacts with the colours and forms inside is worth doing. Looks like you have a bit of yard space. Hope you will have fun designing that area too.
Love your color scheme. It’s interesting but still serene. Love this kind of content because 1) it seems consistent with the rest of your content, which I always enjoy; and 2) color schemes make my heart beat faster. Especially F&B color schemes.
We had a F&B color consultation for a flat in the UK and it was really useful. We generally knew what we wanted, as you do, but with different the different aspects of the rooms, different uses for rooms, different amounts of light, including a long dark hall, etc it was really excellent to have that consultation. Which white do you want in which room? Which color red will give you the effect you want? The colors they suggested have turned out to be perfect.
The consultation wasn’t that expensive and might be interesting content.
Green is a neutral! And once your plants enter the chat, I love it w your board!
A few tipps for everyone, who is interested: Always keep in mind, what kind of TEMPERATURE (warm/cool/neutral) do you want a room to be with the knowledge of WHEN (time of day/week/...) and HOW (what part of the world) you are in. Meaning: a dining room is used later in the day (=lack of sunshine) in a lively way (entertaining guests/family), so creating warmth (like a warm salmon/red) and energy is a great idea. And due to what part of the world you life in (= how much warmth due to sunlight/artificial warmer light) already is there, the more restricted a colourpallet can be. So Hannah: the colours you picked work great for the rooms, you have chosen. Ocre is great, because it is a mix of warmth (=yellow) and grounding (=beige/brown). I would keep the rest of the house also warmer, if you choose a white. Also: never forget to paint your front door as a guide for people what to expact when entering your home!!!
I really enjoy (as I think I've seen a couple people say already) Ariel Bissett for house stuff as well as Caroline Winkler. Will also put out Rachel Maksy - though when she does house/decor stuff it's more on the side of cottage/fantasy vibes but I love her - highly chaotic.
Ok, I have a white paint color, I love it so much that i offer it unsolicited to anyone interested.
I color drenched the outside of my house in it (besides the front door). I also have several spaces in my house painted in it.
It’d call it a warm neutral white. It’s slightly creamy but the undertones both have warm and cool in them making it very versatile.
It’s Sherwin Williams alabaster! Highly recommend! I think it’d go great with your warm color choices.
Congratulations on buying a new home! I love Ariel Bissett's content on her home renovations. I imagine you won't be making such extensive changes to your new home, but the form and intentionality of her content makes it both soothing and informative. Maybe there's inspiration there for you.
I will also say that in the last two years or so I have gravitated away from makeup content (how I first found you) and am much more interested aesthetically in clothing and interiors. Still, I love your channel and am excited to see some broader content from you outside of makeup!
Love Ariel's home content!
This was my favorite video of yours! I always stare at the wall behind you because I love the color of it and how well it compliments your skin. Dead Salmon!? lol - What is the real name of that paint? Also - I have a warm terracotta kitchen and painted one wall of my dining room that coral-red color. The rest is a very pale peach. I craved it and that was the era of doing one wall different and I still love it and the combination. When you were talking about the green furniture piece I was so excited! I was yes yes do it - a perfect accent - and don't forget about plants! And then you mentioned the plants so I was happy. I feel like if colors in the home reflect more natural colors, as yours do, you do not get tired of them. I think what you have chosen so far will be amazing and I can't wait to see more of the process.
There is a set of coloured pencils called Derwent Drawing, the entire range is 24 colours, and they are all earthy, harmonious, gorgeous colours. I feel like those colours would be an excellent starting point for beautiful interiors, if you wanted to play around with colour combinations.
A profound and practical reason to avoid sharp corners, especially when moving from room to room a lot: your child. Sharp furniture is not friendly to children. How nice that elegance can serve such a purpose!
Yasssss for colour drenching!!! We colour drenched our bedroom over NZ summer just been in a sage green colour and with all our cream/oat decor and green monstera plant, it looks absolutely incredible. Do it!!! it's just paint, it can be redone if it doesn't work.
words cannot describe how excited I am for the future career of your new home
I love all of Ariel Bissett's home remodeling videos. At least from the outside it seems as though the production of her videos is not as intense as many other home remodeling channels iv seen. Her storytelling is great and her videos portray a realistic, un-rushed and inadvertently anti-consumerist way of sprucing up an entire house.
Yes colour!!! We did farrow and ball incarnadine in our bedroom and it’s a slightly cooler red but in that beautiful vintage/muted way they do, and I love it so much.
Our bedroom is a boat cabin that is also our front hallway, so it was a complex space, we did three walls surrounding the bed in the red and then did the fourth wall which extends into a longer hallway to the back of the boat in calke green (so you can see it from the living room, kitchen and bedroom, exactly as you mentioned!) and it came out vintage but modern but vibrant and we couldn’t be more happy with it!
Also love love painted trim, yes!
Hi Hannah-congrats and good luck! Regarding choosing colors, one thing I don’t think you mentioned is the amount/quality of light each room gets, which is critical in deciding how intense to go with the colors you choose, because it will affect the room’s atmosphere / how you feel in it at different times of day, etc. Since you love beautiful things, I think you might enjoy the book “Color Palettes” by Suzanne Butterfield - the rooms and the paint colors are gorgeous. I’m not sure if it’s still in print but a library may have it. She features Donald Kaufman paints (very pricey, like Farrow & Ball) but if you’re just looking for inspiration I don’t think that really matters.
The ikea story was just so beautiful it made me cry ❤. Love throws a wrench in all of our perfectly laid plans, and they turn out better than we could ever have imagined alone
My dining room is a matt dark cranberry red, absolutely love it. It’s a dark room and painting it light only made it look cold but it now looks warm and cosy, not colour drenched but there is a lot of red , fireplace is painted black so that adds to the drama. House is Edwardian so original features have to be considered
My parents have a dining room in that shade of muted red/dark salmon and I’ve always thought it looks great!
