Built in tubs are not only easier to get in and out of, they're also easier to clean. Free standing tubs usually have awkward space around them that you have to bend over, reach around, squeeze between in order to clean. I knew the 'trend' of free standing tubs would pass as soon as people lived with them for awhile. That's what happens to any trend that's all about appearance and not about function. Another such trend is open shelving. Impractical as a genuine storage solution and increased workload with the washing/dusting now involved. I always say, if you want a 'trend' that will last, look to the 'trend' that's actually very functional and practical.
I'd you have the money it's probably worth it but I believe from what I remember they are expensive I agree the old fashioned ones are awakard to clean I do love the walk in showers the newer ones it may not be as expensive as the sit down tubs I've never compared prices to know but I have always loved them but I've heard the sit down ones are comfortable crestons wife speaking
I LIKE the look of a built in tub better than a free standing one. I like the shower tub combo. It’s convenient and much easier with small children. I also like walk in showers with the frameless glass doors, but, I get tired of always feeling like I’m supposed to like every trend that comes around. Some of them are so stupid...like chairs with no arms...that isn’t comfortable to anyone!
I could never pull the trigger on the freestanding tub. Never found one that was comfortable, I really only like the look. I am so glad I stuck with my build in tub, comfort, and functional. I love having the shelf all around me for my plants, candles, bath salts, books, and whatever else I want at my fingertips.
Agree. Built in tubs are much safer to get in and out of, plus easier to clean. A shower with a built in seat is very practical. And open shelves in a kitchen or bath need to be very limited for few attractive often used items. Otherwise they collect dust and require constant cleaning.
2 Thoughts: 1) These trends are for the newest generation of adults, who weren’t alive when these trends first came out. 2) This is what most people dislike about home decor, you just finish redecorating your house & everything you literally just removed, is back. It feels like insanity! Decor trends seem to be more about creating new income streams vs. real lasting style, which is what I prefer. Ok, that was 3 things🙃Thanks Valentina, for having the courage to make this video😅 p.s. I prefer your personal style❤️
Yup! I watched a bunch of decorating videos and found I have a mix of Neutral Bohemian, cottage core, traditional, the cleaned up version of shabby chic. I get bored very quickly with 'on trend' design, and love injecting colors that can change out with the seasons. I live rust and friendly shades of green, but, with so many plants in those tones, those are neutral colors, to me!
I call "them" style terrorists! They are the people at the top, calling the shots, telling you what's in what's not. Just when you get it all done, they are "soo over it"! Time to go out and spend beaucoups (sp.?) of bucks to start over! Stop the cycle and the insanity, find your own style, what makes your heart sing and spend a lifetime tweaking it as your tastes change, develop and mature. That way if you love something, it won't matter what "they say". And I'm not really talking about Valentina, I'm talking about the top of the food chain forecasters of fashion, design, home decor who make their living, and a sizable one at that, by how much they can pull our strings to purge and purchase over and over and over!! And by the way, I'm a designer and love change but try to not ride every wave that comes along.
@@toppcatt5113 Not sure if you were addressing me or not. I don't think you were and I agree with you. But so many younger people are swayed by every wind of "decorating doctrine", it is sad to see people put so much money into "design trends" that the "pushers" are pushing only to be told it is now passe! They arent throwing me off but they are throwing some people off and yes they are doing something wrong!
I bought my 1987 home exactly one year ago. It came complete with wallpaper (not exactly but similar to grasscloth), beige walls, and a wet bar. You may have just saved me thousands of dollars in renovation with this video. Oh, and I installed a built in tub in my bathroom renovation earlier this year.
Haha my house was built in 1989. We've lived here for about 9 years. I'm so glad we haven't spent thousands of dollars to paint everything white and gray lol All my neighbors did though! 😂
Wallpaper has never gone out of style for me. My favorite wallpaper is a large bold pattern that goes on a wall with lots of cutouts like windows or shelves
I feel so validated! I’ve been saying warmer tones like beige and color is coming back and this all-gray look is dated already. I know I’m on board with warmer neutrals and even color as long as it’s used sparingly. Wallpaper = yep; particularly grass cloth. And no joke: I considered the black crocodile for my powder room! I think I’ll opt for a dark grass cloth though. Faux finishes are not for me though. All in all, I like most of the “returning” trends because they are coming back in a way that is different from their previous dates uses. Thanks for posting!
The bathroom I have (50s "clinique green") had lavender sponge blobs on the upper walls when I moved in. I found out later the same "artiste" had done the neighbor's kitchen in what was basically "ketchup and mustard" blobs.
@@leoren2685 I did a beautiful faux rough tile look backsplash in my RV mostly sponged. It looks so real, ppl reach out and touch it. Also did a short wall of white 'used brick' in my living room. Both have multiple shades of beige, tan and grey.
I love what I love in my home and no one can bully me into changing my mind about that however am happy to report that I've always loved and stuck to a warm neutral color palette so I feel safe knowing that I don't have to change anything to go with any new or upcoming trends🤣🤣🤣
@@royalteatime5953 I blame the influencers for this phenomenon. Most of them are mainly driven by their need to fill their pockets. Many people feel forced to change their style because influencers bully them into doing so by presenting their info using shame tactics. At the end of the day we just have to stay true to who we are and what brings us joy when we enter our homes after a long hard day outside. There's nothing wrong with refreshing and updating our homes but it shouldn't be because we feel forced to at the end every New Video brought out by our favorite Interior design Influencer because truth be told that's who these people are: Influencers not Interior Designers.
@Florida registeredagent show me where in my comment I said that HOV was bullying me or anyone? You people tout "freedom of speech" and love to silence others expressing their opinion!! I said what I said in response to another comment under my original post. If HOV had a problem with my comment they are free to address me but since I wasnt referring to them personally I don't see why you are taking this on their behalf. Anyway please leave me alone and don't @ me again!!
@Florida registeredagent you seem like a nice person so am not gonna go back and forth as I feel that only breeds negativity. I am sorry if you felt influenced by my comment but I will say again my comment was a generalized statement with regards to the" home decor influencer trend" that I've seen in the past couple years permeating the online space. Everyone wants to make hundreds of videos showing off their spaces and present themselves in a fashion of bullying their viewers into doing what they are doing to look sophisticated and upscale. These Influencers almost always have "wares" to sell from companies that they are affiliated with. In my opinion thats disingenuous and is only a ploy to get people to spend mindlessly on every trend whether or not it suits their personal style or they have the money to jump on these ever changing trends. My point was unless you have an actual background in interior design or you have an actual buisness that is in that field I don't feel you're qualified to bully anyone into changing what they love or what speaks to them. HoV is an actual company that is involved in real estate and interior design so I certainly was not or could not have been specifically speaking to them. Also I have been following HOV for the past 2 years and have consumed 95% of her content and I am subscribed to her newsletter and regularly download her pdf shopping guides. I have my notification set to alert me whenever a video from HOV is posted. I also regularly rewatch their videos and am extremely happy that they have been grouped in Playlist so I can binge to my hearts content whenever am in the mood for that. My point is I don't have a problem with HOV and once again my comment was not referring to them. I am not sure what else I can say but I hope my long-winded explanation provides more clarity .
As someone who has had a business doing faux finishes, I can tell you that they never really go out of style...only the "look" someone is going for... I always have faux finishes in any home I live in...they add character, personality and dimension. So glad it's "officially" coming back!
I feel faux finishes can look Great if it suits the building or home. But it can look tacky sometimes. 😊 I have seen some amazing brick tiked for walls that are pretty thin. So you can get that brick wall that looks authentic. And it is brick so it is the same feeling. But it is thiner so you dont minimize the space. 😊 Limewash looks Great!! 😊🥰
Fellow Decorative Artist here- the problem is so many people think faux finishing is just the bad sponge painting from the 90s! Nope! Beautiful plasters, metallic finishes, walls that mimic grass cloth and wallpapers…. I try so hard to educate people about what the industry has to offer!
Point taken: Follow your gut not ever changing trends when designing your space, stick with neutrals adding pops of color if needed , invest in classic pieces, decorate with unique, authentic accessories. Everything else comes and goes
Totally true. There is so much decor available that looks awesome and will make your home look beautiful without the need to get super trendy items that are going to look dated faster than any classier piece would ever do.
Grey kills my vibes lol, every house here where I live is all grey inside, grey floor, grey walls, grey decor, etc. it’s killing me I absolutely love neutrals, and texture they’re always beautiful and calming, but grey makes me feel gloomy and bored lol! Edit: Yo guys, for those of you who like grey I’m not saying I hate all greys, I don’t like darker grey’s all the time like most of the houses are where I live, any color can have shades that are most attractive and others which most people wouldn’t use or like, it’s all personal preference.
I remember when grass cloth was in way back when. Funny story, a friend covered a living room wall with it. Looked great, but her cats thought it was one gigantic scratch post! Shredded it in no time. LOL and yes, it was a pain to take down. She loved her kitties, the grass cloth went the cats stayed. She ended up doing faux paint look that created some movement on the wall.
Ah I´m so so glad greys are finally out!! I had a really hard time finding an oatmeal coloured sofa - all the interesting sofas only come in grey! Finally out I hope. I love beige colour, taupe, oatmeal and milk chocolate brown! Lime wash is interesting I think. Colour I not so sure of - yet ;)
You are wise, and your home probably has a beating heart, unlike the houses that bend to every "decorator's" whim and commercial design trend that develops, to keep the money flowing. Maybe stylish, probably costly, possibly beautiful, but no pulse. Nope. Lesley Branch a writer, (passed away at 103 years old in 2004) had the most beautiful home filled with treasures from travels, books, antiques, oil paintings, oriental rugs, color, warmth, and its heart beat could sooth the crankiest spirit. She said, "Surround yourself with the things you love and your house will make you happy." My own home has been greatly inspired by Lesley's home and her wise philosophy about decor. Two things to remember about people: (1) They will believe just about anything, especially if they hear it from someone whom they believe is an authority. (2) They are never really satisfied.
I like colour throughout a house but not so many colours the house looks like a child day care. The idea here is not to be stuck in a trend 5 -10 years from now it'll go out of style which is why I like neutrals for me because you can always change out things like pillows, fabrics, paint colour, without having an expensive remodel go for high-end fixtures or at least well made affordable
Your home is a absolutely beautiful, but I love color in my own home. It is great that we can enjoy each other's homes while feeling comfortable in our own. Thank you for sharing.
You forgot to mention paneling. I think real wood paneling is coming back. I refuse to get rid of mine. It's an inch and a half thick, real wood. I watch some of these shows on HGTV and am just dismayed when they rip out all the good wood.
My 50s ranch has a lot of 3/4" tongue and groove knotty pine paneling, big reason I bought the house! Very warm, inviting, and not "dated" w/right accents
I agree with you about ripping out beautiful wood. If you have the decorating knowhow to incorporate the wood as a feature the room goes from blah to wow !
I’ve never been a fan of gray so never switched to it. I have always liked beige and warmer colors, although I do have some walls painted blue and some green. And while my furniture is mostly neutrals I have a lot of very colorful artwork. Art is my thing and I can’t imagine bland “neutral art. Not sure I ever want to take wallpaper down again although there are sone stunning papers out there! Enjoy your channel!
I love your channel, Valentina! You are so classy and yet always on trend! I always loved beige and glad it’s coming back. I feel any neutral color: gray, beige, or white is always a classic look.
I've always had wallpaper in my house and I choose carefully, not by trends, so it doesn't go out of 'fashion'. So I've been out of trend but now I'm coming back into it without doing a thing! 😁
I absolutely L0VE you ! You have the most REAL & HONEST personality. Your channel makes me smile and you have the best way of delivering style Inspiration!
You are so cute! I love your zest for life! We are in our 80s and are living in the home my in-laws built when they came to town to live the life of a retired couple. It's cozy and comfy and doesn't have features people want in their homes...we have only one bathroom, no dishwasher or microwave, for example. But the wood in the cupboards and closet doors are just incredible! The floors are oak and we pay no mind to trends because we are in love with the home and hope we can stay here for the rest of our days! I spend lots of time binge watching your videos. You and your husband are like breaths of fresh air!
3 weeks ago we bought a new to us home in Maryland. One of the biggest selling features for me was a double staircase in the foyer with wrought iron balusters. Love them!
I designed my living room with black, white, and beige. My kitchen, bathroom, and family room are black white and grey. I'm now adding beige throw rugs, pillows and throw blankets into the mix.
In the examples of "colors" out of the 10 photos only 2 had actual colors that would not be considered neutrals: the green walls of a dining room and the green side table shown with 2 neutrals. All the other "colors" were in the rust/ terra cotta to golden tones. Where's the blues, reds, true yellow, purples/ violets yellow-greens etc.? Valentina, you are still a neutral gal at heart.🙂
@@EmilyChapelle I had a 809sq ft. house in the mountains for a short time. I painted the kitchen fusca, living room seafood green, tiny 7 1/2' × 9 1/2' bedroom bright lemon yellow, and the master bedroom medium blue with white faux finish. Now THAT'S what is called using color! 🤣😄
I thought the same thing. I love color! Many tend to go neutral, because they worry about painting over it, resale, and being matchy-matchy. My house is mostly neutral, so I use color on everything!
It’s all such a process that is personally driven and it’s a joy to watch evolve. I do love neutral’s now the most for comfort . Splashing with beautiful jewel tone pops of color from Art, Lovely dramatic Flower arrangements and pretty pillows.
I'm with Valentina-I live in neutrals and for a pop of color, I leave that to the accessories-pillows, artwork, a couple small pieces. Neutrals are timeless, restful and relaxing. Texture is the key to making them seem not boring. I love the wrought iron railings-always did. Love wallpaper also :)
I am from the UK and have always had wallpaper on my walls, it stops the echo of, what I consider, a cold, painted wall. I seriously dislike grey of any shade, it lacks any personality so leaves a room looking neither or either. So I have wallpaper that I can paint whichever colour I like, I have carpets, as it is warmer and I love my home. All of my friends say I have a home that reflects my personality. For that I am incredibly grateful!!
Love all the trends coming back from the past! My clients are tired of white and black. Although I love it, I think people need some color and texture in their lives. Alabaster walls with color accessory accents is what I’m finding works inCharlotte, NC. Thanks for being brave enough to say it out loud ☺️
Beautiful photography. When you say color, those rusts look so good with the neutrals-black, white, gray, and beiges. Its all about color combos including choices in faux techniques.
My daughter has removable wall paper as well and the edge wasn’t sticking. We just sprayed some craft adhesive on it and it stuck perfectly. Love your channel!!!
This list! Wallpaper...yes! Did in half bath 5 years ago in my last home. Beige...yes! Give me all the beiges, creams, and whites! Built in tub...yes! Just did a gorgeous one in my home renovation. Wet bar...No! Just ripped one out of our living room to open up the space. And we dont drink alcohol. Coffee bar is in the kitchen! Loved the video. People need to do what they love and what works for their lifestyle!
LOVE LOVE LOVE videos like this that keeps us up to date on trends and how we can join in!! Also love the background of the trends and HOW they are coming back and how it’s different and more innovative than it was in the past.
Discover your channel is like having a oasis in desert, even here in Indonesia doesn't have a real desert, but always love you, your video are excellent, informative, entertaining, all in one, oh and your husband, he is brilliant, you both very lovable 😘 thank you for your dedication in content making 👍
I'm thrilled to see built-in tubs on the list! We have a 3-story Victorian, and 2 of the baths have old claw-foot tubs. They look great, but they are SOOO impractical. My teen daughter almost fell the other day trying to get out of her tub after her shower...imagine how tough it is for us older folks! We started planning to have those tubs removed (replacing one with a walk-in shower, the other with a low-trim tub), and I felt like I was bucking all the trends, especially with this house being a Victorian. But what is the sense in beauty if it's not practical and user-friendly?!
I have been waiting for grey to go away for A LONG Time !!! My home is warm with oriental rugs, very eclectic mix of Bauhaus and simple lines of unpainted antiques, farmhouse, muted warm reds, gold ,green, creams and white...
Great video, Valentina. You did an excellent job of breaking down each upcoming trend. For my own personal taste, everything is a "no" for me, with the exception of the wet bar. I love wet bars! I agree that wet bars can be not only useful, but fun!
I love this video!!!! I generally only watch this channel because you’ve got such a fun personality and great hair, because of those houseplants, and because those dark walls are EVERYTHING, but this video makes my heart sing. Yaaaaaaaasssss wallpaper, beige, and color! And those wrought iron railings are making me nostalgic for those awful but also fabulous “Tuscan” interiors. Looks like I’m going to be trendy again for a minute. 🎉
I’m in the process of moving and buying a new home..your videos have inspired me to celebrate neutrals and go black and white along with lots of texture. Thanks for all your inspiration and information!
Nine years ago I tried the white trend in walls. I couldn’t go past painting the first wall. Now that we are listing I tried to do the gray trend…and I couldn’t handle that either. I did Alabaster with same result. Tomorrow going with “China white” if it’s still too dull I will just go with what I find pleasing: beige. Hope buyer feels the same way.
I would consider Greige which is a combination of grey and beige. I saw a video and they used it in different rooms in light and darker shades. It looks great.
I’ve started timing myself to see how far into a Valentina video I get before I grin. Today was like, thirty seconds tops. That said, while I gravitate towards beige, it’s always fun to explore with colour - which doesn’t have to mean bright! For instance, Salamander (a rich dark green) can serve as a neutral, and a soft yellow (like you might see in Scandinavia) would glow in a well-lit interior, without feeling like a smack to the eyeballs!
I don't "trend", but it's entertaining seeing how people are re-interpreting trends. If wallpaper is on trend, I'll expect wall stencils to be trending again soon.
We recently bought an older home (early 70's) that has a sink/vanity in the guest room. At first I thought it was odd but now I love it and I'm enjoying getting this room set up for guests. When we were house hunting I noticed a couple of brand new homes that also included a sink/vanity in the extra bedroom. Do you see this ever becoming a trend? I know a lot of guest rooms have an attached bathroom but that is much more costly. Maybe this more of a European thing.
I have a cleaning business so I had seen every type of house interiors.. Those sinks are all over Florida in new and old houses. I see half the amount with the pedestal sink and the other half with the vanity/sink combo.
Yay! I love TAUPE! I like both the beige taupe and the gray taupe. My fave is when you can't actually tell if it's beige or gray because it is a neutral blend in a soft taupe.
NO! No wall coverings! Never! Never again. Dealt with that in two of my homes and many offices as a commercial space planner. Some landlords simply didn't allow it at all any more and I don't blame them. Getting it off for the next tenant build out was expensive and then new wall covering was expensive to buy and install. Paint only! No more wall coverings until it is super easy to remove and of reasonable cost.
Interesting. Glad that colour is coming back. It’s always been in my life . Life without colour is dull. Like the look of wallpaper but wouldn’t use it. Hate the idea of having to strip it off. Too much work. Thank you for sharing. X
Yay! I welcome the warm, interesting, lighter trends. As a side, they tend to make skin tones look better too so your family faces will shine in those home photos.
The faux finished walls just reminds me when my bonus mom (Best friend's mother) rag painted her entire house interior in '98 after us kids spent over a week removing 3 layers of folky wall paper in all the common rooms. It was a dusty pink and burgundy blend up until 2018.
Great video, I love seen old things come back, fills my heart with with memories. I don’t like wallpaper all over the house but I do like a nice, good quality wallpaper on an accent wall. The texture walls on the pictures Valentina was showing were very nice and modern as well.
Love the grass cloth and faux finishes. I put up grass cloth in the seventies and when it got tattered, I painted it. That way I could keep the texture. Came out great. Faux finished my living room in yellow with very pale grey blue and sienna marbling. Had to move and miss it. It was a lot of work to create but such a pleasure to look at
What about the "primary colours of nature"? That limits things, and there's a reason nature is that colour. So greens, blues, browns, and shades thereof.
I just found your channel and after seeing about 3 videos, I realize you’re my design twin!!! Bought my forever home in December and am slowly transforming each space into a ScandiLuxe Dream!!!
Just bought a 3,000 sq ft, in an acre lot and although the house has been neglected, the layout and structure are amazing in a quiet neighborhood, well connected and a feeling of seclusion, I’ve been watching and rewatching many of my favorite HOV videos planning the reno and decoration for this house which I hope will be my home for many years. This video is changing some of my plans as I’m planning to decorate in a more timeless style with little trendy touches and there are a few things I had discarded and now I’m reconsidering thanks to this new info lol
The funny thing is I ever knew beige was out of style that’s my color of choice and I love my beige and white together. Yes and I hate it that light to medium shades of gray however I love the dark gray color that you have at your house
I have been watching your videos lately and I am really enjoying them! If you haven’t already, would you do a video on classic home decorating ideas. Thanks for all your tips and tricks!
So with you! Bring back wet bars! You showed some wonderful examples of reinterpreted wet bars and they were gorgeous. They can make entertaining so fun! Bring them back!!
I've never followed trends. I hate grey, to me it's depressing. I'm going to be building a new house soon and the only beige will be the walls. I'm having wall tiles in my bathroom with colour. White on most walls with a feature wall in shades of aqua and blue mixed together using a Spanish hand made tile, so beautiful. My floor tiles have white, beige and blue in a pattern to connect them all together. I'm going Hamptons/French provincial style. Will be so pretty. There will be splashes of purple too, I love purple.
Beige in a boho natural palette is lovely especially when married with plants for their greenery and some exotic unexpected pieces, but the RH boring bland beige? Uggh not in my house or my clients'. I'm in Florida and with this bright sunshine 24/7 we live in color. I just find the RH look is for people who are afraid of well...everything, it's a safe and elegant look if your house is enormous and on scale with a hotel lobby- from which it stems....otherwise I find it lacks personality; and a home should always reflect who's living in it. Glad to see everything is returning with a twist.
Yay! I'm excited for these changes. Wallpaper can help to pull in some of the other trends. I'm grateful we have the freedom to experiment. Personally, I'm a gemstone girl. I know it isn't for everyone, but I love the colors in my jewelry box -diamonds, rubies, emeralds, sapphires, amethyst. Those colors make me happy. So, I've integrated them into my lower living room and choose plants to extend some of those colors out into the courtyard so the visual flow is continuous. Do what makes you happy! 💕
I think all the trends are fascinating, and like you said, we all design differently to our taste; keep that in mind when choosing each of these trends but remember nothing is permanent. Thank you for sharing…
I’m so happy that I don’t worry about what is on trend and that when people come in they’re are not looking at a magazine house but a home and thank goodness that color is back!
This video makes me so happy! My house was built in 1979 and still has the original wet bar. Now I can embrace it again. We bought the house after it was updated in 2004. All my hard floors are beige. I have a giant built-in tub in the master. I have grass cloth wallpaper in one room. And a beige wall paper that looks like a faux finish in another. And I love color!! How lucky am I. (Dumb luck too - much of this I wanted to change but had other priorities) Yipee!
I love modern organic and half of those beige pictures made me swoon 😍 I also believe that since people are shifting to prefer more sustainable and natural products, a lot of those natural materials are beige.
We have a real wood panel textured wall in our old 1956 home in the sitting room it’s the wall that’s first seen as soon as you come in the entryway thru the front door and it’s now the only accent wall in that room I painted it my favorite color limousine leather by behr! Lots of compliments on my black wood textured wall! I love it! Nothing wrong with a small stylish bar cart don’t know if I’d do the entire wet bar thing though…Thanks for sharing😁
This spring we decided to paint the entire interior of our home. We had to paint the living room,dining area, halls and kitchen yellow as they are sort of semi open concept with several pony walls separating them. We really wanted color as we had 12 years of builder beige. However, since so much was going to be the color we chose - it had to be rather neutral. In the end we went with a pastel yellow. (They call it mellow yellow by Sherwin Williams)It is so light, bright and cheerful! I love it. I'm all about color now.
Did gray way back in the 80s when everyone was into earth tones but I have been over the gray for a number of years and into basic neutrals. Have a couple of murals that create a lot of interest and conversation when I couldn’t find the right wallpaper! Look at murals for a change
We have had a bar in our living room since we bought this home 4 years ago. We host a lot and having easy access to the bar is always a hit. I’m loving the faux finish look, I’ve been in the process of picking a paint color for my kitchen remodel from the pure and original paint line.
We have owned a commercial painting and wall covering business for 30+ years. I can attest to the wallpaper "trend" coming and going. The demand here in Sarasota is quite huge. However the "problem" is not finding many skilled paper hangers because of the die out of the trend not many went into learning this beautiful skill of hanging all the intricate modern designs of paper!!! Our very skilled paper hangers are over 50. So hopefully some young people will want to learn this skill to "keep up" with new demands
I had beige up north but have been living inFl for six years with grey. White case furniture and dark grey sofa and recliner and use green as accent along with blacks also. Live in a very small place so I also have a light grey solid rug. I love my open plan living and have put a dark grey and large stylized white flowers removable wall paper on the black splash wall in my black and white (mostly white) kitchen. It.gives a big WOW upon entering my open kitchen. Watch all your videos relentlessly as my original idea was to be a home decorator but am in my latter years and I still can not get it out of my blood (always trying to refresh my surroundings with seasonal pillows, etc.).
When I bought my house there was wallpaper in literally every room. I spent weeks removing, sanding the glue and washing the walls in preparation for painting. I will burn the house to the ground before I bring so much as a wallpaper sample into my home!
I knew the faux finish was coming back. I could see it from miles off. I don’t think we’ll be seeing Room by Room style mauve sponge painting, but I definitely see the more plaster texture styles coming back. And I think we may be seeing them in natural, eco-friendly clays and lime washes that are no VOC.

I went from a garden tub to a free standing , I chose a smaller one and I can clean it easier.
I LIKE the look of a built in tub better than a free standing one. I like the shower tub combo. It’s convenient and much easier with small children. I also like walk in showers with the frameless glass doors, but, I get tired of always feeling like I’m supposed to like every trend that comes around.

Agree. Built in tubs are much safer to get in and out of, plus easier to clean. A shower with a built in seat is very practical. And open shelves in a kitchen or bath need to be very limited for few attractive often used items. Otherwise they collect dust and require constant cleaning.

Ok, that was 3 things🙃Thanks Valentina, for having the courage to make this video😅 p.s. I prefer your personal style❤️
Yup! I watched a bunch of decorating videos and found I have a mix of Neutral Bohemian, cottage core, traditional, the cleaned up version of shabby chic. I get bored very quickly with 'on trend' design, and love injecting colors that can change out with the seasons. I live rust and friendly shades of green, but, with so many plants in those tones, those are neutral colors, to me!

I call "them" style terrorists! They are the people at the top, calling the shots, telling you what's in what's not. Just when you get it all done, they are "soo over it"! Time to go out and spend beaucoups (sp.?) of bucks to start over! Stop the cycle and the insanity, find your own style, what makes your heart sing and spend a lifetime tweaking it as your tastes change, develop and mature. That way if you love something, it won't matter what "they say". And I'm not really talking about Valentina, I'm talking about the top of the food chain forecasters of fashion, design, home decor who make their living, and a sizable one at that, by how much they can pull our strings to purge and purchase over and over and over!! And by the way, I'm a designer and love change but try to not ride every wave that comes along.
If these trends are throwing you off youre doing something wrong.
@@toppcatt5113 Not sure if you were addressing me or not. I don't think you were and I agree with you. But so many younger people are swayed by every wind of "decorating doctrine", it is sad to see people put so much money into "design trends"
that the "pushers" are pushing only to be told it is now passe! They arent throwing me off but they are throwing some people off and yes they are doing something wrong!
I love the BEIGE transitional color way in my apartment. It's so calming. I popped it with little splashes of red in the art work and my pots.
When trends come back they usually come back with a twist which is usually an improvement.
I never knew beige was out lol.
Or a twist that doesn’t allow you to use what you already had.
Exactly! Almost like reinventing a dated trend to fit today’s modern style.
I bought my 1987 home exactly one year ago. It came complete with wallpaper (not exactly but similar to grasscloth), beige walls, and a wet bar. You may have just saved me thousands of dollars in renovation with this video. Oh, and I installed a built in tub in my bathroom renovation earlier this year.
Haha my house was built in 1989. We've lived here for about 9 years. I'm so glad we haven't spent thousands of dollars to paint everything white and gray lol
All my neighbors did though! 😂
Wallpaper has never gone out of style for me. My favorite wallpaper is a large bold pattern that goes on a wall with lots of cutouts like windows or shelves
Wallpaper is definitely a great aid when you are looking for more than just paint.
I love beige and grey! I also love both cats and dogs. Never understood why I have to pick a team!
Yeah me neither. Better to have the best of both worlds.
Agreed. And like skinny jeans, gray ain’t going anywhere just because some designers in NYC say so.
Greige
@@toppcatt5113 Yes! Absolutely beautiful too 😍
I feel so validated! I’ve been saying warmer tones like beige and color is coming back and this all-gray look is dated already. I know I’m on board with warmer neutrals and even color as long as it’s used sparingly. Wallpaper = yep; particularly grass cloth. And no joke: I considered the black crocodile for my powder room! I think I’ll opt for a dark grass cloth though. Faux finishes are not for me though. All in all, I like most of the “returning” trends because they are coming back in a way that is different from their previous dates uses. Thanks for posting!
I love beige too but what did you use instead of beige all of this time?
Just in the middle of a remodel and went beige all thru out. Love my home now!!!!
Love grass cloth ❤️
As long as sponge painting doesn't come back.Noooo!!!
The bathroom I have (50s "clinique green") had lavender sponge blobs on the upper walls when I moved in. I found out later the same "artiste" had done the neighbor's kitchen in what was basically "ketchup and mustard" blobs.
@@leoren2685 I did a beautiful faux rough tile look backsplash in my RV mostly sponged. It looks so real, ppl reach out and touch it. Also did a short wall of white 'used brick' in my living room. Both have multiple shades of beige, tan and grey.
I love what I love in my home and no one can bully me into changing my mind about that however am happy to report that I've always loved and stuck to a warm neutral color palette so I feel safe knowing that I don't have to change anything to go with any new or upcoming trends🤣🤣🤣
same here, everyone went crazy with grey. Love my Traditional home with beige and warm tones
@@royalteatime5953 I blame the influencers for this phenomenon. Most of them are mainly driven by their need to fill their pockets. Many people feel forced to change their style because influencers bully them into doing so by presenting their info using shame tactics. At the end of the day we just have to stay true to who we are and what brings us joy when we enter our homes after a long hard day outside. There's nothing wrong with refreshing and updating our homes but it shouldn't be because we feel forced to at the end every New Video brought out by our favorite Interior design Influencer because truth be told that's who these people are: Influencers not Interior Designers.
@@eltinand1321 well said
@Florida registeredagent show me where in my comment I said that HOV was bullying me or anyone? You people tout "freedom of speech" and love to silence others expressing their opinion!! I said what I said in response to another comment under my original post. If HOV had a problem with my comment they are free to address me but since I wasnt referring to them personally I don't see why you are taking this on their behalf. Anyway please leave me alone and don't @ me again!!
@Florida registeredagent you seem like a nice person so am not gonna go back and forth as I feel that only breeds negativity. I am sorry if you felt influenced by my comment but I will say again my comment was a generalized statement with regards to the" home decor influencer trend" that I've seen in the past couple years permeating the online space. Everyone wants to make hundreds of videos showing off their spaces and present themselves in a fashion of bullying their viewers into doing what they are doing to look sophisticated and upscale. These Influencers almost always have "wares" to sell from companies that they are affiliated with. In my opinion thats disingenuous and is only a ploy to get people to spend mindlessly on every trend whether or not it suits their personal style or they have the money to jump on these ever changing trends. My point was unless you have an actual background in interior design or you have an actual buisness that is in that field I don't feel you're qualified to bully anyone into changing what they love or what speaks to them. HoV is an actual company that is involved in real estate and interior design so I certainly was not or could not have been specifically speaking to them. Also I have been following HOV for the past 2 years and have consumed 95% of her content and I am subscribed to her newsletter and regularly download her pdf shopping guides. I have my notification set to alert me whenever a video from HOV is posted. I also regularly rewatch their videos and am extremely happy that they have been grouped in Playlist so I can binge to my hearts content whenever am in the mood for that. My point is I don't have a problem with HOV and once again my comment was not referring to them. I am not sure what else I can say but I hope my long-winded explanation provides more clarity .
As someone who has had a business doing faux finishes, I can tell you that they never really go out of style...only the "look" someone is going for... I always have faux finishes in any home I live in...they add character, personality and dimension. So glad it's "officially" coming back!
I feel faux finishes can look Great if it suits the building or home. But it can look tacky sometimes. 😊 I have seen some amazing brick tiked for walls that are pretty thin. So you can get that brick wall that looks authentic. And it is brick so it is the same feeling. But it is thiner so you dont minimize the space. 😊
Limewash looks Great!! 😊🥰
I love faux painting. Have it in my house in the hallway. Hides a lot of wear on the walls
Fellow Decorative Artist here- the problem is so many people think faux finishing is just the bad sponge painting from the 90s! Nope! Beautiful plasters, metallic finishes, walls that mimic grass cloth and wallpapers…. I try so hard to educate people about what the industry has to offer!
@@shannonstone2690 Sounds so interesting. Do you have a site?
I miss my faux painted bedroom walls probably will get them repainted again.
Point taken: Follow your gut not ever changing trends when designing your space, stick with neutrals adding pops of color if needed , invest in classic pieces, decorate with unique, authentic accessories. Everything else comes and goes
Couldn't agree with you more
Totally true. There is so much decor available that looks awesome and will make your home look beautiful without the need to get super trendy items that are going to look dated faster than any classier piece would ever do.
Yes!!!!
I agree 1000%!
I love most of those new trends, every time a trend comes back it’s reinterpreted in a new way.
I can’t live in a world without color! Strategically placed of course 😊
Grey kills my vibes lol, every house here where I live is all grey inside, grey floor, grey walls, grey decor, etc. it’s killing me I absolutely love neutrals, and texture they’re always beautiful and calming, but grey makes me feel gloomy and bored lol!
Edit: Yo guys, for those of you who like grey I’m not saying I hate all greys, I don’t like darker grey’s all the time like most of the houses are where I live, any color can have shades that are most attractive and others which most people wouldn’t use or like, it’s all personal preference.
Grey is the color of doctors offices! I agree!
I love gray, I HATE beige.
The people who bought my beautifully warm and inviting neutral home, painted it cold office space grey. Ugh!
@@scherzva Well, you’re a guy, so, I doubt warm and cozy would be your thing.
@@scherzva To each his own lol
I remember when grass cloth was in way back when. Funny story, a friend covered a living room wall with it. Looked great, but her cats thought it was one gigantic scratch post! Shredded it in no time. LOL and yes, it was a pain to take down. She loved her kitties, the grass cloth went the cats stayed. She ended up doing faux paint look that created some movement on the wall.
I have that same black crocodile paper in my half bath with brass accents- SO GOOD
You have great taste! I saw that wallpaper and WANT IT! I don’t know where it will go, but it will go somewhere in my home!
🖤 sounds so sophisticated
Ah I´m so so glad greys are finally out!! I had a really hard time finding an oatmeal coloured sofa - all the interesting sofas only come in grey! Finally out I hope. I love beige colour, taupe, oatmeal and milk chocolate brown! Lime wash is interesting I think. Colour I not so sure of - yet ;)
I decorate my house in the things I like. So glad I don’t have to wait for a “trend”.
Me, too.
But I still enjoy hearing about the trends.
Yeah me too. It is so liberating when you do what you want without waiting for social or media approval.
Im with you on this!
That’s RIGHT!
You do you, Boo! ❤️💕❤️
You are wise, and your home probably has a beating heart, unlike the houses that bend to every "decorator's" whim and commercial design trend that develops, to keep the money flowing. Maybe stylish, probably costly, possibly beautiful, but no pulse. Nope.
Lesley Branch a writer, (passed away at 103 years old in 2004) had the most beautiful home filled with treasures from travels, books, antiques, oil paintings, oriental rugs, color, warmth, and its heart beat could sooth the crankiest spirit. She said, "Surround yourself with the things you love and your house will make you happy." My own home has been greatly inspired by Lesley's home and her wise philosophy about decor.
Two things to remember about people:
(1) They will believe just about anything, especially if they hear it from someone whom they believe is an authority. (2) They are never really satisfied.
I like colour throughout a house but not so many colours the house looks like a child day care. The idea here is not to be stuck in a trend 5 -10 years from now it'll go out of style which is why I like neutrals for me because you can always change out things like pillows, fabrics, paint colour, without having an expensive remodel go for high-end fixtures or at least well made affordable
Yep. Neutral as a background drop and color on the accessories that can be changed as you please.
Your home is a absolutely beautiful, but I love color in my own home. It is great that we can enjoy each other's homes while feeling comfortable in our own. Thank you for sharing.
You forgot to mention paneling. I think real wood paneling is coming back. I refuse to get rid of mine. It's an inch and a half thick, real wood. I watch some of these shows on HGTV and am just dismayed when they rip out all the good wood.
My 50s ranch has a lot of 3/4" tongue and groove knotty pine paneling, big reason I bought the house! Very warm, inviting, and not "dated" w/right accents
I agree
I agree with you about ripping out beautiful wood. If you have the decorating knowhow to incorporate the wood as a feature the room goes from blah to wow !
We painted over our paneling and makes for an interesting wall
I had it and I painted it all white.
I’ve never been a fan of gray so never switched to it. I have always liked beige and warmer colors, although I do have some walls painted blue and some green. And while my furniture is mostly neutrals I have a lot of very colorful artwork. Art is my thing and I can’t imagine bland “neutral art. Not sure I ever want to take wallpaper down again although there are sone stunning papers out there! Enjoy your channel!
Sounds lovely.
That croc would be great as a panel over the bed to serve as a "faux headboard".
That’s a fabulous idea!
@@janicebott4498 I think I might do it ceiling-high, even.
@@Dingle1234 that would be beautiful. Serves as a headboard and accent wall. Love it!
I love your channel, Valentina! You are so classy and yet always on trend! I always loved beige and glad it’s coming back. I feel any neutral color: gray, beige, or white is always a classic look.
I've always had wallpaper in my house and I choose carefully, not by trends, so it doesn't go out of 'fashion'. So I've been out of trend but now I'm coming back into it without doing a thing! 😁
I wall papered two guest baths in my home and went with a Great Gatsby inspired print in black & gold. Papering the ceiling polished it off!
I absolutely L0VE you ! You have the most REAL & HONEST personality. Your channel makes me smile and you have the best way of delivering style Inspiration!
You are so cute! I love your zest for life! We are in our 80s and are living in the home my in-laws built when they came to town to live the life of a retired couple. It's cozy and comfy and doesn't have features people want in their homes...we have only one bathroom, no dishwasher or microwave, for example. But the wood in the cupboards and closet doors are just incredible! The floors are oak and we pay no mind to trends because we are in love with the home and hope we can stay here for the rest of our days!
I spend lots of time binge watching your videos. You and your husband are like breaths of fresh air!
Just bought a home and the previous owner clearly loved beige. Everything is beige 🙈 Can't wait to paint the beige away 😅
3 weeks ago we bought a new to us home in Maryland. One of the biggest selling features for me was a double staircase in the foyer with wrought iron balusters. Love them!
I designed my living room with black, white, and beige. My kitchen, bathroom, and family room are black white and grey. I'm now adding beige throw rugs, pillows and throw blankets into the mix.
That sounds beautiful
@@nikkid4890 Thank you.
I love those ideas
@@BelindaShanle Thank you.
In the examples of "colors" out of the 10 photos only 2 had actual colors that would not be considered neutrals: the green walls of a dining room and the green side table shown with 2 neutrals. All the other "colors" were in the rust/ terra cotta to golden tones. Where's the blues, reds, true yellow, purples/ violets yellow-greens etc.?
Valentina, you are still a neutral gal at heart.🙂
Haha I thought the same thing. I love color and use it in my house and I fear if she saw my home she might have an actual heart attack.
@@EmilyChapelle I had a
809sq ft. house in the mountains for a short time. I painted the kitchen fusca, living room seafood green, tiny 7 1/2' × 9 1/2' bedroom bright lemon yellow, and the master bedroom medium blue with white faux finish. Now THAT'S what is called using color! 🤣😄
Yes I need color in my life, never been afraid of it and it reflects in my decor.
I thought the same thing. I love color! Many tend to go neutral, because they worry about painting over it, resale, and being matchy-matchy. My house is mostly neutral, so I use color on everything!
It’s all such a process that is personally driven and it’s a joy to watch evolve. I do love neutral’s now the most for comfort . Splashing with beautiful jewel tone pops of color from Art, Lovely dramatic Flower arrangements and pretty pillows.
All these passe trends when applied in the right way can look great again, some never went out of style in my opinion.
I'm with Valentina-I live in neutrals and for a pop of color, I leave that to the accessories-pillows, artwork, a couple small pieces. Neutrals are timeless, restful and relaxing. Texture is the key to making them seem not boring. I love the wrought iron railings-always did. Love wallpaper also :)
Thanks for sharing!!
I like wallpapers, but not on every wall. For an accent wall its great!
Moving into a small space but want it to look comfy but modern/lux and you have really helped me with ideas I never thought of. Thanks so much
Love Beige and glad it’s back! And Not sorry!
My mom picked grass cloth. I always loved it.
I am from the UK and have always had wallpaper on my walls, it stops the echo of, what I consider, a cold, painted wall. I seriously dislike grey of any shade, it lacks any personality so leaves a room looking neither or either. So I have wallpaper that I can paint whichever colour I like, I have carpets, as it is warmer and I love my home. All of my friends say I have a home that reflects my personality. For that I am incredibly grateful!!
Love all the trends coming back from the past! My clients are tired of white and black. Although I love it, I think people need some color and texture in their lives. Alabaster walls with color accessory accents is what I’m finding works inCharlotte, NC. Thanks for being brave enough to say it out loud ☺️
You're so welcome!
Yes! Finally! Beige is back!! 🤗😍 I am sorry, but I just love it. It’s so natural.
I'm looking into installing wallpaper in my bedroom. Very excited.
Beautiful photography. When you say color, those rusts look so good with the neutrals-black, white, gray, and beiges. Its all about color combos including choices in faux techniques.
LOVE all of these. Stay true to the style of your home and what brings you joy. Your space, you pay for it so be happy!
My daughter has removable wall paper as well and the edge wasn’t sticking. We just sprayed some craft adhesive on it and it stuck perfectly. Love your channel!!!
This list!
Wallpaper...yes! Did in half bath 5 years ago in my last home.
Beige...yes! Give me all the beiges, creams, and whites!
Built in tub...yes! Just did a gorgeous one in my home renovation.
Wet bar...No! Just ripped one out of our living room to open up the space. And we dont drink alcohol. Coffee bar is in the kitchen!
Loved the video. People need to do what they love and what works for their lifestyle!
LOVE LOVE LOVE videos like this that keeps us up to date on trends and how we can join in!! Also love the background of the trends and HOW they are coming back and how it’s different and more innovative than it was in the past.
Discover your channel is like having a oasis in desert, even here in Indonesia doesn't have a real desert, but always love you, your video are excellent, informative, entertaining, all in one, oh and your husband, he is brilliant, you both very lovable 😘 thank you for your dedication in content making 👍
I'm thrilled to see built-in tubs on the list! We have a 3-story Victorian, and 2 of the baths have old claw-foot tubs. They look great, but they are SOOO impractical. My teen daughter almost fell the other day trying to get out of her tub after her shower...imagine how tough it is for us older folks! We started planning to have those tubs removed (replacing one with a walk-in shower, the other with a low-trim tub), and I felt like I was bucking all the trends, especially with this house being a Victorian. But what is the sense in beauty if it's not practical and user-friendly?!
I have been waiting for grey to go away for A LONG Time !!!
My home is warm with oriental rugs, very eclectic mix of Bauhaus and simple lines of unpainted antiques, farmhouse, muted warm reds, gold ,green, creams and white...
Great video, Valentina. You did an excellent job of breaking down each upcoming trend. For my own personal taste, everything is a "no" for me, with the exception of the wet bar. I love wet bars! I agree that wet bars can be not only useful, but fun!
I love this video!!!! I generally only watch this channel because you’ve got such a fun personality and great hair, because of those houseplants, and because those dark walls are EVERYTHING, but this video makes my heart sing. Yaaaaaaaasssss wallpaper, beige, and color! And those wrought iron railings are making me nostalgic for those awful but also fabulous “Tuscan” interiors. Looks like I’m going to be trendy again for a minute. 🎉
“Awful but also fabulous Tuscan interiors!” Real Housewives of New Jersey in the earliest seasons!!
@@scwendy6302 lol - I guess I outed myself as a Jersey Gay.
I’m in the process of moving and buying a new home..your videos have inspired me to celebrate neutrals and go black and white along with lots of texture. Thanks for all your inspiration and information!
Nine years ago I tried the white trend in walls. I couldn’t go past painting the first wall. Now that we are listing I tried to do the gray trend…and I couldn’t handle that either. I did Alabaster with same result. Tomorrow going with “China white” if it’s still too dull I will just go with what I find pleasing: beige. Hope buyer feels the same way.
Beige is still a finish used by flippers when selling homes, it is still pleasing to most people.
It's best to stick with neutrals when selling a home.
I would consider Greige which is a combination of grey and beige. I saw a video and they used it in different rooms in light and darker shades. It looks great.
I’ve started timing myself to see how far into a Valentina video I get before I grin. Today was like, thirty seconds tops.
That said, while I gravitate towards beige, it’s always fun to explore with colour - which doesn’t have to mean bright! For instance, Salamander (a rich dark green) can serve as a neutral, and a soft yellow (like you might see in Scandinavia) would glow in a well-lit interior, without feeling like a smack to the eyeballs!
That’s so sweet!
I don't "trend", but it's entertaining seeing how people are re-interpreting trends.
If wallpaper is on trend, I'll expect wall stencils to be trending again soon.
Thanks to cricut, it has in some ways.
I love your personal style and advice!! Not to mention you are HYSTERICAL!
Valentina your laugh is contagious ❤️❤️❤️
We recently bought an older home (early 70's) that has a sink/vanity in the guest room. At first I thought it was odd but now I love it and I'm enjoying getting this room set up for guests. When we were house hunting I noticed a couple of brand new homes that also included a sink/vanity in the extra bedroom. Do you see this ever becoming a trend? I know a lot of guest rooms have an attached bathroom but that is much more costly. Maybe this more of a European thing.
I have a cleaning business so I had seen every type of house interiors.. Those sinks are all over Florida in new and old houses. I see half the amount with the pedestal sink and the other half with the vanity/sink combo.
You get so excited! I have no issues because I can do what I want in my home.
Yay! I love TAUPE! I like both the beige taupe and the gray taupe. My fave is when you can't actually tell if it's beige or gray because it is a neutral blend in a soft taupe.
NO! No wall coverings! Never! Never again. Dealt with that in two of my homes and many offices as a commercial space planner. Some landlords simply didn't allow it at all any more and I don't blame them. Getting it off for the next tenant build out was expensive and then new wall covering was expensive to buy and install. Paint only! No more wall coverings until it is super easy to remove and of reasonable cost.
Interesting. Glad that colour is coming back. It’s always been in my life . Life without colour is dull. Like the look of wallpaper but wouldn’t use it. Hate the idea of having to strip it off. Too much work. Thank you for sharing. X
Yay! I welcome the warm, interesting, lighter trends. As a side, they tend to make skin tones look better too so your family faces will shine in those home photos.
I'm glad beige is back. I've always been a beige person and hated all the gray.
The faux finished walls just reminds me when my bonus mom (Best friend's mother) rag painted her entire house interior in '98 after us kids spent over a week removing 3 layers of folky wall paper in all the common rooms. It was a dusty pink and burgundy blend up until 2018.
Great video, I love seen old things come back, fills my heart with with memories. I don’t like wallpaper all over the house but I do like a nice, good quality wallpaper on an accent wall. The texture walls on the pictures Valentina was showing were very nice and modern as well.
Love the grass cloth and faux finishes. I put up grass cloth in the seventies and when it got tattered, I painted it. That way I could keep the texture. Came out great. Faux finished my living room in yellow with very pale grey blue and sienna marbling. Had to move and miss it. It was a lot of work to create but such a pleasure to look at
What about the "primary colours of nature"? That limits things, and there's a reason nature is that colour. So greens, blues, browns, and shades thereof.
I just found your channel and after seeing about 3 videos, I realize you’re my design twin!!! Bought my forever home in December and am slowly transforming each space into a ScandiLuxe Dream!!!
I had that same blouse and pattern in 1987...just say'in. Lol. Things go around and come back. I loved it by the way. Great work. Thanks for sharing.
Just bought a 3,000 sq ft, in an acre lot and although the house has been neglected, the layout and structure are amazing in a quiet neighborhood, well connected and a feeling of seclusion, I’ve been watching and rewatching many of my favorite HOV videos planning the reno and decoration for this house which I hope will be my home for many years. This video is changing some of my plans as I’m planning to decorate in a more timeless style with little trendy touches and there are a few things I had discarded and now I’m reconsidering thanks to this new info lol
I’m one of those people! Love beige, hate grey!
The funny thing is I ever knew beige was out of style that’s my color of choice and I love my beige and white together. Yes and I hate it that light to medium shades of gray however I love the dark gray color that you have at your house
I have been watching your videos lately and I am really enjoying them! If you haven’t already, would you do a video on classic home decorating ideas. Thanks for all your tips and tricks!
So with you! Bring back wet bars! You showed some wonderful examples of reinterpreted wet bars and they were gorgeous. They can make entertaining so fun! Bring them back!!
I've never followed trends. I hate grey, to me it's depressing. I'm going to be building a new house soon and the only beige will be the walls. I'm having wall tiles in my bathroom with colour. White on most walls with a feature wall in shades of aqua and blue mixed together using a Spanish hand made tile, so beautiful. My floor tiles have white, beige and blue in a pattern to connect them all together. I'm going Hamptons/French provincial style. Will be so pretty. There will be splashes of purple too, I love purple.
Sounds lovely.
Sounds beautiful
Beige in a boho natural palette is lovely especially when married with plants for their greenery and some exotic unexpected pieces, but the RH boring bland beige? Uggh not in my house or my clients'. I'm in Florida and with this bright sunshine 24/7 we live in color. I just find the RH look is for people who are afraid of well...everything, it's a safe and elegant look if your house is enormous and on scale with a hotel lobby- from which it stems....otherwise I find it lacks personality; and a home should always reflect who's living in it. Glad to see everything is returning with a twist.
Definitely. I am also in FL and I agree that the majority here loves some color in their lives, one way or the other.
I love your enthusiasm and energy! You always inspire me and make me smile. Thank you.
LOVE LOVE LOVE THE TRENDS COMING BACK. I NEVER GOT RID OF MINE!!!!!!
Yay! I'm excited for these changes. Wallpaper can help to pull in some of the other trends. I'm grateful we have the freedom to experiment. Personally, I'm a gemstone girl. I know it isn't for everyone, but I love the colors in my jewelry box -diamonds, rubies, emeralds, sapphires, amethyst. Those colors make me happy. So, I've integrated them into my lower living room and choose plants to extend some of those colors out into the courtyard so the visual flow is continuous. Do what makes you happy! 💕
I think all the trends are fascinating, and like you said, we all design differently to our taste; keep that in mind when choosing each of these trends but remember nothing is permanent. Thank you for sharing…
We built a wet bar in between the kitchen and the livingroom. It is amazing!!!!!
I’m so happy that I don’t worry about what is on trend and that when people come in they’re are not looking at a magazine house but a home and thank goodness that color is back!
This video makes me so happy! My house was built in 1979 and still has the original wet bar. Now I can embrace it again. We bought the house after it was updated in 2004. All my hard floors are beige. I have a giant built-in tub in the master. I have grass cloth wallpaper in one room. And a beige wall paper that looks like a faux finish in another. And I love color!! How lucky am I. (Dumb luck too - much of this I wanted to change but had other priorities) Yipee!
I love modern organic and half of those beige pictures made me swoon 😍
I also believe that since people are shifting to prefer more sustainable and natural products, a lot of those natural materials are beige.
We have a real wood panel textured wall in our old 1956 home in the sitting room it’s the wall that’s first seen as soon as you come in the entryway thru the front door and it’s now the only accent wall in that room I painted it my favorite color limousine leather by behr! Lots of compliments on my black wood textured wall! I love it! Nothing wrong with a small stylish bar cart don’t know if I’d do the entire wet bar thing though…Thanks for sharing😁
This spring we decided to paint the entire interior of our home. We had to paint the living room,dining area, halls and kitchen yellow as they are sort of semi open concept with several pony walls separating them. We really wanted color as we had 12 years of builder beige. However, since so much was going to be the color we chose - it had to be rather neutral. In the end we went with a pastel yellow. (They call it mellow yellow by Sherwin Williams)It is so light, bright and cheerful! I love it. I'm all about color now.
I'm actually loving the limestone wash faux finishes. I'm doing a modern farmhouse 'tiny' house that I'm hoping will have it.
I love taupe, carmel, and mahogany. these colors have been in my home decor and wall color for 20 years and I love it! entertaining video ❤
Did gray way back in the 80s when everyone was into earth tones but I have been over the gray for a number of years and into basic neutrals. Have a couple of murals that create a lot of interest and conversation when I couldn’t find the right wallpaper! Look at murals for a change
That embossed croc wallpaper !!! LOVE!
We have had a bar in our living room since we bought this home 4 years ago. We host a lot and having easy access to the bar is always a hit. I’m loving the faux finish look, I’ve been in the process of picking a paint color for my kitchen remodel from the pure and original paint line.
I love colors, and almost everything else in this video.
We have owned a commercial painting and wall covering business for 30+ years. I can attest to the wallpaper "trend" coming and going. The demand here in Sarasota is quite huge. However the "problem" is not finding many skilled paper hangers because of the die out of the trend not many went into learning this beautiful skill of hanging all the intricate modern designs of paper!!! Our very skilled paper hangers are over 50. So hopefully some young people will want to learn this skill to "keep up" with new demands
I had beige up north but have been living inFl for six years with grey. White case furniture and dark grey sofa and recliner and use green as accent along with blacks also. Live in a very small place so I also have a light grey solid rug. I love my open plan living and have put a dark grey and large stylized white flowers removable wall paper on the black splash wall in my black and white (mostly white) kitchen. It.gives a big WOW upon entering my open kitchen. Watch all your videos relentlessly as my original idea was to be a home decorator but am in my latter years and I still can not get it out of my blood (always trying to refresh my surroundings with seasonal pillows, etc.).
In France, beige and stone colors are definitely starting to be huge!
When I bought my house there was wallpaper in literally every room. I spent weeks removing, sanding the glue and washing the walls in preparation for painting. I will burn the house to the ground before I bring so much as a wallpaper sample into my home!
I knew the faux finish was coming back. I could see it from miles off. I don’t think we’ll be seeing Room by Room style mauve sponge painting, but I definitely see the more plaster texture styles coming back. And I think we may be seeing them in natural, eco-friendly clays and lime washes that are no VOC.
