    My favorite non-trend will always be stainless steel kitchen appliances. I see how the black and white appliances are making a comeback in a more modern way, but they still must be used with caution based on the design of the kitchen. However, in my opinion, stainless just seems to work in almost every design.

I choose for my bedroom you natural cream but more pale because it is a smaller room. Looking forward to look at more videos. What about decorating with renown painters. My paintings have to tell me something (a message). I have 18 paintings and I intend to put them all in my condo. I don't follow today's trend. I need vibrant colours in my home. LOVE YOUR VIDEOS!!!

    Designs that aren't current trends can also really be boring and generic. All white walls, Pottery Barn sofas, yep, go with everything because they have zero personality of their own! 'Safe' for the interior designer, but who needs one if you're going generic?pottery Barn overall is just so very, very expected. I vote no.

      Agree.
      Everything white and cream, everything from Pottery Barn and West Elm - it's all "safe", all generic, all designed to go together easily so anyone without design skills can put it together and it look okay. Don't get me wrong at all - a lot of this stuff makes for a really great base layer in your rooms for the essentials like sofas and chairs.
      None of it says anything about a person and makes a home seem so impersonal and exactly like everyone else's house.

But what is simply classic? Thank you again for touching on this topic!

    I have to totally agree with you that black and white will ALWAYS be in style. It is timeless. My kitchens are ALWAYS white slab cabinets with black countertops and it NEVER ages. Kitchen cabinet faces, colors, woods, countertops, etc all come and go. But white slabs with black counter tops are ageless. Same with living room: black, white, beige, etc. and color things up with accessories. Avoid patterns that are not accessories. Otherwise, you get bored and things will quickly looks dated. I am 66 years old and have lived with wild colors, paisley/check/floral patterns, carpeting everywhere, metal kitchen cabinets, different color marble, yellow oak, bold painted walls, etc. Trust me. It all gets boring and looks dated as soon as it goes up.

    I don't follow trends. Especially some American trends are not so common here in Germany. Also such retailers like Weste Elm or Pottery Barn are not represented here. I prefer unique furniture and decor, which is really timeless. White walls are very landlord-friendly. And a white sofa... my dogs would re-decorate it very quickly with cute mud paws, funny snod prints and a lot of hair during the times of fur change (which, as we say, is once a year, but lasts 365 days for a German shepherd).

      @@ahomemakersministry I recommend getting the performance fabric especially with kids. I also have two young kids and two dogs (the dogs aren’t on the couch as often) my kids have spilled on it many times and it’s cleaned up well, my kids have also taken the cushions off to jump on them or make forts. Since all the covers are removable I take them off and wash them at least twice a year, you have to make sure they’re all zipped up before throwing them in the wash so that the threads on the inside don’t unfurl. I hang dry them after and use a fabric shaver if there are any pills. It’s a great couch and really comfortable, not too soft and not too firm.

    Anything you can achieve with white walls or an all neutral palette can be achieved with the judicious and intelligent use of color. Ethereal, light and airy, moody, cozy, comforting, chic, modern, traditional, etc. All of it. And color done well is also timeless.
    Your home is gorgeous in a neutral palette. My home is equally gorgeous using color in an artistic way with an understanding of the psychology of color and I don't have a single white wall.

      I love that! I admire people who tastefully fill their homes with color. My dilemma is that over many years, I have learned that my brain/psyche quickly tire of any color I choose, no matter how much I love it in the beginning.But, I never, ever get tired of white. We just built our dream home: it's all white walls, with tons of light streaming in through the multiple windows contrasting against rich wood tone flooring, and every day it feels like Heaven. And that really what is all about... Creating a happy place. Because we are the ones living in it. So I'll come to your house and admire your fabulous color palette (and be a little envious 😉), but I'll go home and remember why white is my happy place.

    Hi Valentina, I am so happy to see this video, trends can be fun and interesting but really, who's got the time, money and patience to be switching things up every 5 minutes?? I agree the big pieces are best kept timeless with the best quality you can afford. I bought a Drexel Heritage couch in a timeless style 34 yrs ago for 50% off. I had it recovered with Krypton fabric 15 yrs ago and I swear it's STILL going strong. Accents are where one can have fun with trendy colors and design without breaking the bank. I appreciate your enthusiastic passion and kindness.

    Everything I bought a few years ago was immediately untrendy and minimalism was in so I forgo trends unless there’s a piece I like. I fell in love with HOV and started building a neutral palette of classic pieces. I photoshop drains, tech, cars, etc. out of my architecture pics so they are more timeless pieces.

    Yay Article sofa 🇨🇦 . Also your taste is exquisite, but I’d use those turquoise pieces somewhere outdoors in the summer for that “ Coastal” feel. I bring in a lot of aqua into my otherwise beige, white & brown room to brighten it up in the summer. Just small hits like a sea star glass coloured & shaped dish to put stones and shells or driftwood in. And as you say I switch out my winter decor pillow cases with a bright and sunny spring and summer vibe covers. I also adore blankets and really like the light but warmer blankets for summer.

      I think what is being said in the video is that white walls are not trendy. And, I have to agree, they aren't. I think that they aren't always the most practical and can be sterile (when one doesn't know how to decorate with them) but they will always stand the test of time when it comes to using white paint (out or in) . Similar to the subway tile: You can get sick and tired of them, but they are not ever disappearing.

    Thank you for this video. I'm planning to relocate and want a fresh start with furnishings. This video gives me ideas for classic core pieces to buy. We can always add or change accessories to stay current or trendy. 💖

    Great video! Completely off topic but I just wanna tell you how naturally beautiful you are. I'm 37 getting my crows feet and wrinkles, and I can't even express how feeing and liberating it is for me to see your face move when you get excited. I know, such an odd comment, but thank you for showing me a real human face on my computer today.

I'm American living in Sydney Australia for the past 36 years and would love some small space decorating and furniture placement advise. Thank you ..Ellie

    You know I was thinking! Wouldn’t it be a great idea to use the white or off white Brooklin linen to cover your sofas and chairs.
    Of course it could get spendy, but the thought of my animals hairs on a white sofa would be a disaster.
    However, a white or off white linen sheets, you’d remove, and it would clean easily.
    I mean you can only vacuum so much before you’d have to clean.
    Just something to think about.
    They have some very creative and clever ways to cover sofas and chairs with sheets.
    Example:
    Chairs can usually be covered with twin-size sheets, while love seats and sofas require full-size or bigger.
    You can place one sheet over the body of the furniture and use the second to cover cushions.
    *Fabric tacks*
    Fabric tacks for a creative touch, look for decorative ones - some are made with flowers, rhinestones, antique brass finishes and other designs.
    *To prevent slippage*
    Get some narrow cardboard tubes and wrap rubber bands around them. Push the tubes down into the couch’s crevices on top of the sheet, and the bands will work to hold the sheets in place.
    Thank you, you got me thinking there’s away out of my brown sofa.

    Everything you named here was at some point in the last ten years, on trend. I think we need to change how we think of trends, and realize that trends are not a new concept, they've always been around and we all indulge in them in some way whether it's while the trend is hot or years after it's passed. Every single personal style is influenced by trends new and old, trends bring our attention to new things and give us the opportunity to discover new ways to love older items/trends. You never have to indulge in any trend you don't like, just keep doing you and let it pass. I think the only way to actually be "anti-trends" is to just do what you love no matter what is currently hot. There is no single item that is anti-trend or trend proof because at one point or another, it was on trend and it'll probably be on trend again in a new form just like everything else. You just can't live your life trying to keep up with whatever is currently considered "hot and trendy". Buy things that truly make you happy and work for your personal curated style, curate your home to suit you instead of what other people will think. A well curated and personalised home speaks much more than one that changes everytime the wind blows. Even Marie Antoinette set trends for both fashion and interior decor :)

    Also investing in quality non trendy pieces. When I’ve bought cheaper pieces I always wanted to switch them out because they would just look it, or eventually wear down. While living in Italy we invested in some non trendy furniture. My favorite are our hutch and buffet/tv stand. They are made from old wood from Croatian barns, so there is some natural texture from being a building. They are stained black and the doors are made out of shaped Italian wrought iron. I will only part with these when I’m dead
