I believe that in a few years your opinion of the colour drenched room is going to go the way of the feature wall. Pretty white trim, baseboards and doors are clean, classic and timeless. And dare I say, your sofa may be fantastic for a “just for show “ room or a rarely used sitting room , but it doesn’t seem cozy or comfy for everyday lounging or enjoyment.
I can’t stand the all sad beige or black&white trend , it should go as well. The Bellini sofa is everywhere, too many dupes...it’s becoming boring. The Hermes logo...really overused trend
What we do with our family photos is take a number of photos from our vacation every year and use a service like Mpix to have professionally printed photo album book. The books are so much more interesting than a generic family photo. We place them on a wall picture ledge. This way we have the option to look at them whenever we want but, we don't have a million photos of us staring at guests when they come over.
😢 Trends and designs become overused because of RUclips. YT is great for information, but it has also ruined individuality because folks don't want FOMO-Fear of Missing Out😅
Accent / feature walls is the hill l'll die on, so to speak. The trick is to repeat the hue in different tones/shades/tints in wall art, bedding, soft furnishings, upholstered occasional chairs in the room. Colour drenching will be out in less than 5 years. I also disagree on family photos. I have deceased close relatives: my daughter, sister, mother and their image comforts me. Their photos are mixed in with photos of close living relatives and friends. Most of my new visitors enjoy looking at my framed family photos. Lowline sofas are uncomfortable and vessel vanity basins are finicky to clean. Any metal and wood will be outdated within 5 years from the time it trends.
I think the accent wall advice here is good but I think that there is still some nuance to be had. I live in a smallish 1 bed apartment and have to work from home, in my bedroom. I wanted to colour drench in a sophisticated dark green but when I did the visualisations it just came out looking like a cave and it didn’t have much natural light to begin with. What I did in the end was a dark green accent wall for the bed, but I took down off the ceiling by a foot, and wrapped it around part of the side wall. So it doesn’t look like an accent wall at all, it looks like the bed is being cocooned. At the other side of the room is my desk etc, still with neutral walls. So the semi-accent wall zones the room very nicely. I do share your dislike of flat 2d accent walls though, they look odd. Hope this makes sense 😅
I totally disagree with you about the black fixtures....I think they have become timeless. Yes they will come in and out...... just like other metals......
The slotted walls took over, but I kind of want to say the same for flutes Furniture and islands and cabinetry even though I fell into that trend myself I have a couple pieces that are fluted
fluted furniture is really timeless everything that was beautiful 100 years ago and still get to be trendy is timeless, the real problem is due to social media people see the same things over and over and get tired of it , everything moves very quickly in these times due to that, in reality though all people don't have the same things at all, the thing that looks dated are the finish the lacquer on wood, the shiny tiles, plastic ect, over doing everything so a chevron witch is a timeless pattern on floors or tiles is used where it does not belong on plastic suitcases that's the real problem
Nina, I did a beautiful flocked wallpaper behind our bed but I painted the walls the same color has the main color in the design. I also love bold large wallpapers on walls where there is lots of cutouts (windows…). I grew up in the 70’s so I’m a wallpaper fanatic.
I agree with the pictures of family all over the place. Sprinkled in with special framing is another thing. But I do have a section of my hall that has my three daughters pics of them as babies, them at school age, and their HS graduations lined up for each girl all in matching matte black square matted frames with a sconce light above each girls section. And I love it. I could only pull it off with it looking fabulous due to the high ceilings in my hall.
I looove the shoes. I found a great look a like pair from Zara for only $50. I don’t live any type of lifestyle where I need to purchase some named designer brand anywhere but the bag. So finding amazing dupes are perfect for gals like me. That’s why Google’s reverse search tool and I are like this 🤞🏼
OMG!! haven’t done any of those trends😅Yeeey😊 I have many artworks in my house and I love feeling that artistic vibe everywhere(no huge family pictures))Most of them are my artworks and it is a very nice feeling to see them and feel the energy.

A much worse design trend than any of these is the Hermes throw blanket 🧐😋 I do love your beautiful plant vase on the side table 😊🌺
First thing I noticed. It gave me a bad impression 🤓
Agreed, I am guilty of buying the knock off version on Amazon but the dog took it over and loves it 😂
Exactly what I was thinking 😂
To each her own but I thought the exact same thing!
@@kara5958may they all end up in comfy doggie beds lol

I'm annoyed that slatted/reeded walls/furniture got played out so fast because I really liked them
They definitely had a moment!

I like the blue accent wall in the video but not adjacent to a wall of windows.

Would you know where the painting at 13:57 is from?
I endorse this message!
That slat wall got old fast, I used to love the look but now I'm sick of seeing it, almost as much as that damn Tom Ford book
