I would 100% watch a video on how to mix metals. Husband is convinced that every piece of hardware in the whole house must match or the house “looks thrown together”
Me too! I’d love some tips on mixing metals
SAME! ❤ please make one
My husband is the same!!! Lol
Yes
Yes please make a video on mixing metals!
Great video advice today! Personally I feel that a small room painted a dark colour becomes something of a warm hug or a cozy wrap, so comfortable and soothing
I love that you teach technique and not just trends. And I love that your style is very classy.
Yes, more mixed metal discussion! I’m always torn about introducing a different finish in the bathrooms.
Love the dark paint in small rooms ❤️ You look fantastic ☺️
I had a jealous person visit me recently and she criticized literally everything in my home but I finally broke when she said the beautiful white stone around my fireplace should be painted to better match the walls. I laughed so hard and said I'm not painting the damn stone are you crazy. God, some people just can't be happy for you.
So awesome that you mentioned the ceiling colour does not have to be white!! I've been painting my ceilings different colours for years and I love it. Still need to try wallpapering the ceiling.
Especially in the bedroom, when I wake up and look at this boring white, I dont want to get up anymore.. but when the ceiling looks interesting, it wakes me up even more!
@@t.a.yeah. Exactly! 🌞
Yes please make a video about mixing metals! 😊
Well, here is someone who paints everything white: small rooms, dark rooms, big rooms, ceilings 😂😂😂 But loved your points! ❤ I'll try to be more open-minded about other colors...maybe I could start introducing a warm white? 😅😂
start small 😂
Like my mother, everything white, black was banned from everywhere. The black tiles in our rented home were hard for her to bear.. :D But I like a little black. I ban grey, haha. I like colours, especially warm ones.
Warm white already sounds good, have a try! :D
@@t.a.yeah. I am not all white! In fact, my floors are dark brown. And I also have plenty of green in my house...But my walls...always white 😊
I've never tried decorating my space as I thought I would just suck at it. Your videos have helped so much! I've gained some confidence and have my bedroom 90% done. It makes me smile all the time. As someone who struggles with anxiety, having a well designed space is another tool in the box to help. Also, a mixing metals video would be great as I have many copper pieces that I love and am trying to incorporate them throughout my space. Thanks!
I’ve watched every single one of your videos when we just purchased our ideal home. I made a bold decision to paint the media room and my office dark. They are now my two favorite rooms in the whole house. I also took your advice of layering lighting and woah what a difference. ALSO took your advice on DIY turn down service- also wow, my husband loves it and it’s just something I do now every week night before dinner.. amazing advice we can actually implement
I painted all my bedrooms white and I feel they are cold, clinical looking especially as Autumn is hear and I love Autumn colours so now looking to repaint the walls
@CCRider very true but it’s really splitting hairs by choosing a slightly warmer white over a slightly cooler white. It all still reads white!
Do a video on mixing metals! Do a video on mixing metals! 🥳
Awesome video! It's like the "rules of fashion" that just exist to sell us books and magazines, etc.
Also, thank you so much for converting inches to cm!! Super helpful and considerate haha
Such a revolutionary concept for me : ceiling as the 5th wall !!! Possibilities become endless! Thank you for this video and btw, lovely earrings 😍
I like this channel. No crazy long boring intro or outro. To the point. I appreciate it.
Just in time as I was looking for something to watch! Love the content! Would love to see the video of matching metals. Thanks!
Definitely would appreciate a mixed metals video!
I would love to see a video on mixing metals. I have trouble doing that and would find a video on how to do that beneficial.
Great video!... lots of useful information......loved hearing you say mixing metals is ok to do....I would love to see a video on how to mix them..... interesting knowing the myth about house plants purifying the air is not true, I've always heard that as well..... much more mentioned as well...thanks for such an eye opening video! 😊
They do but you need like 600 of the them in the house for it to work LOL.
I mix metals but generally I stick with two metals and make them opposite of each other. So shiny brass with a dull chrome for example.
Ty, can never get enough of you and decorating tips!!
Love your videos. I’ve learned so much. A video about painting ceilings in a color would really be welcome
The ceilings in our new apartment is a real topic for me - thanks for the video❤ helped me a lot to maybe find some opportunities to take some attention to the ceilings
Finally someone came in favor of dark color in small spaces! I had a huge fight with my painter (we are friends, so its all good) about painting my small dining room in dark flat color. I won. It's my house after all. Now it's a "wow" room that everyone loves.
what about painting brick? Thoughts and opinions?
I love the ceiling color ideas! I have never thought of it.
My grandmother wallpapered the ceiling in a guest room with a medium scale rosebud pattern. Identical pink rosebuds with green leaves on a cream background. Whenever I stayed in that room, I would gaze at that ceiling in total adoration. That was 60 years ago, and I have never forgotten it.
Over the years, we have painted our smaller rooms both dark and light colors and, honestly, dark walls and/or ceilings just don't work for us. Not only did the rooms feel smaller, but the darker colors were depressing once the novelty wore off. We've tried navy, olive, dark gray, and burgundy (one at a time, not altogether!) and the whole family agreed...not happy or welcoming spaces. We needed to compensate with more light fixtures and lamps, plus brighter/lighter colors in the furnishings, which was just too much work to make a room comfortable when a coat of paint did all that work for us. We are much happier (and our rooms are much more attractive) with lighter colors and natural light. I use dark colors in flooring or as accents to satisfy my need for contrast and interest.
Absolutely one of my favorite videos!!! I learned a lot and feel open to fresh ideas for my home! Thank you!!!
I loved this video, great and nuanced advice! Also would love to see a video on mixing metals 😊
I always enjoy your videos when they pop up! Your always accurate. And always give something more or different to the other channels like yours
Totally need a video on mixed metals. I’m totally lost on this! Thanks for your videos. Love them!
I like the har way to express things openly 👍 more clear thanks
this was a great video, thank you !
I’d love a video on painting woodwork and window frames.
I know it’s great to contrast them with the walls but don’t know how to do it.
I would love to see a video on mixing metals. I think it is such a cool look but can be tricky to pull off. Thanks!
Me too!!
Yes definitely would like to know how to mix metals for my kitchen & should it reflect the adjoining rooms say a dining room off the kitchen. Thank you
We definitely think alike 👌🏻 I love that you posted this video with this information because it just feels validating as an interior designer myself as I’m trying to retire but I’ve been an interior designer for 27 years and people don’t want me to retire but it will always be my first love. I just love your videos! 🙏🏼❌⭕️❌⭕️🤩
I appreciated it so much! Surely, I would love to know how to combine different metals! Thank you! 💜
So interesting your comments about mixing different kinds of metal, please make a video talking about it if you can, love your channel 😍😍😍 thanks for sharing your wisdom🙏
We painted our small hall bath with a darker rust color and are loving it. We also painted the ceiling the same color. I sometimes second guess but I really am glad we went bold! It has a mosaic tonal blue floor to accent!
Great video! So glad you brought up mixed metals!! We're remodeling our kitchen and I love our nickel faucet but I really want bronze or gold for the drawer pulls. Also, I love using mixed metals for photo/art frames. Thank you!!
Just go for it! It did it in my kitchen (we have silver faucets too) and it looks stunning! I get a lot of compliments and wows.
Yaaayyyyy you finally made a new video. have been waiting for ages. Thank you so much. And as usual, its excellent, inspiring and on point. 🏆🌞🌻🎉🎉🎉🌻🌻🌻
Great video as always. Educational, funandwell edited. Thanks, Viv!
In other words, do what you want in your home. Regardless of what others think and say. Great tip's!
Great points! I’ve recently painted my living room dark blue except the wall facing the window- so any light (which is a bit limited tbh) is bounced back into the room. It was all white previously and you’re exactly right the colour in the permanently shadowed areas was an uninspiring dingy grey. Very pleased with my midnight blue, it’s added a whole new dimension to the space (never thought of it in terms of depth so thanks for that!). I also changed my death-by-beige furniture for lovely deep orange velvet sofas which really contrast well with the blue…and they have brass-tipped legs which has made me introduce a few other gold touches around the room even though my main metal is brushed pewter /silver. Thought it would really bother me but I’m pleasantly surprised at how well it all gels together, just by keeping to a brushed appearance. My ceiling is still white though as it runs into my kitchen space. Great video!
Great video, thank you! Yes please do a video on mixing metals!
Yes, please do a video on mixed metals and thank you for the great information
All good points. Thanks!
Thank you for this information.
yes, for the mixing metals video. 👍
Great advice on those little dark rooms, hard to know what to do with them
Interesting concept on small rooms/dark paint… and non-white ceiling! thank you for busting so many myths
Love to see video on mixed metals 👍
I’m in the process of selecting finishes for a new home build and would love to hear your ideas about mixing metals!
Excellent videos! Would love to see a video on mixing metals.
I loved this video. I would watch a video on how to mix metals!!! I'm thinking about doing this in my space soon!
Great video. Yes to mixed metals.
Metal mixing video, yes and it would be a definite watch!
You are rocking that two-tone hair. How do you pull that off?! It looks edgy and elegant all at once.
I painted my entire office on the dark side of the house in a gorgeous mid-olive green and it is SO much better than the dingy bluewhite before
I've been a bit scared to paint a room a dark colour because of the small room issue. It was great to see it mentioned here and debunked!
mix metal video please !! your videos are very helpful!!
Thanks for another video with great tips!
Would it be possible to create a video about bathroom decoration?
Very helpful video. Yes I would like a mixed, thx
Yes, please do a video on mixing metal finishes!
That was good! Thank you. Can you also make a video on mixing metals please?
Once again you have explained beautifully. Keep growing
Would love a video on mixing metals! We just bought a early 2000’s home with EVERYTHING satin nickel. Would love to get your take on mixing it with over metals vs replacing all, which I likely couldn’t do all at once anyway.
I love mixing metals!
I love it. Thanks for the tips. Also where did you get that beautiful lamp and the trophy behind you? 😮
Yes to a video on mixed metals!!!❤
After I finally chose the wall colours for my bedroom and the main living areas, I went with something a little lighter for the ceiling, contrasting with white molding. For example, my bedroom is Hidden Sanctuary (1375) for the walls, with Peace and Happiness (1380) for the ceiling (both Benjamin Moore). Eight years later, and I still love it.
Great video, yes, I would like to see a video on mixing metals, I love your videos, please keep them coming
These tips are so good. Yes, please make a mixed metals video!
I'm not sure if this is common, but I saw another RUclipsr mention how to layout furniture in a room. For example, if you have a "square" room, don't use a "rectangle" layout because it won't fit. You can use a "triangle" layout instead. Is this something you also practice when decorating? I would love a video explaining these layout shapes if it's real!
This is great! I thought for a while some of these myths can’t be true. lol Thank you for posting!
Thank you for sharing
yes! please make a video on mixing metals! that would be awesome
I have a small bedroom, and a friend and designer recommended to paint one wall a dark green. I hesitated bc of myth no. one, but then went ahead and did it anyway. I TOTALLY LOVE IT. I mix the green with earthy colors for textiles and it couldn’t be more cozy and cave-like. 😊
Yes! Mixed metals video please!!
Love your videos!!!
Yes I'd like to see a video on how to mix metals. I've done it a bit in parts of my home so hoping I'm on the right track.
Vivien....I love the idea of painting the ceiling. I had contemplated it for my new condo.
However, my ceilings are only 8' tall. I was worried it would make my ceiling look lower. What do you think?
I notice examples of painted ceilings in this video all have very high ceilings.
I had seen it done in lower ceilings but usually a lighter or medium tone color, not dark. Maybe not doing darker colors?
I would love a video about mixing metals!! :)
Would love a video on mixing metals ❤
MIXED METAL VIDEO!!!My partner is building our house right NOW and we have to pick finishing and appliances. We love the look of copper but we are hoping to mix it with stainless steel. A video from you would be so helpful right now 🙏 you’re the only designer I take advice from because you have timeless taste.
Here for the myths, but really appreciate your wit! 😉
It seems we share an equal eye. If there are any "you must never..." rules that are 100% true in every case I have yet to see one. I'd like to add that dark / low light rooms should consider being painted with semi-gloss. A flat paint will usually suck the last bit of interest / light from an already light starved area. Light bouncing around helps define spaces and objects.
Painting woodwork really isn't a tough call for me. There are plenty of times that there is nothing that can be done to make cheap cuts of lumber attractive, no matter how nice the finish is. "You can put lipstick on a pig but it won't make it pretty." I truly love and appreciate well done carpentry and joinery but there is absolutely nothing beautiful about that floor at 6:39. And then there's the 'too much of a good thing made bad' issue. In that light, I am interested in your thoughts on painted wood floors. They used to be common, many years ago.
I would be very interested in a video on how to mix metals. Thank you!
Great video! And yes please for how to mix metals video!
YES! Mixed metals 😊
Yes please a video about mixed metals!
I never heard that plant purifies the air. What I did learn in my elementary school science class is that plants releases oxygen through photosynthesis.
Could definitely use advice on mixing house metals because I'm renting!
Yes please for video mixing metals
Wife and I were debating the merits of a dark ceiling in our hallway. I threw a swatch of paint up there while I was changing a light fixture and she was instantly sold. Hallway is 3x20, so very constraining. Going with light gray over dark gray on the walls and an even darker gray on the ceiling. Test patches look amazing.
Yes please how to mixed metal 👍🏽
im.so amazed.with your ideas.. i just have a question how about mixing metal,wood and ceramics.designs would that be.ok?
You so sweet, omg, I can watch your videos forever. I love them more than Lane Fox's ones. There's something to your style that makes me want to watch your videos. Thank you so much!
Great 👍 very informative
