I get pop color, I am in Real Estate for 30 plus and have bought more then my share of homes, to pop a bathroom with heavy color like greens, purple in the tiles, when that goes out in 5 to 8 years, it will be really dated. one should pop with accents in cabinets. tiles need to stay even tones. or you will go out real quick, and not everybody likes greens. The early 70's when I was a kid, all the hard colors that were popular, and you paid extra for the upgrade, in the less then 10 years later, all light colors and beiges. was all the rage, the houses 10 years earlier that got standard fixtures, with white appliances, and light cabinets sold for 10% more then the upgraded trendy colors that one paid extra. You never go wrong with staying basic in the expensive stuff like wall tile, floors. and trendy with the accents. take it from a 37 year house investor.
Thank you Robert, for sharing your valuable insights from all your years of experience! I agree it is more practical to use the trendy colors sparingly. For example I put some "trendy" peel and stick wallpaper behind my bathroom vanity mirror, that I can easily change out if it becomes dated. What trend do you think is going to be "out" really quickly?
I still like white bathroom, especially for the small bathroom. Furthermore, one can not change their bathroom every year according to trend! As my son said to me once..."I want my trend," and he likes timeless
Totally agree that you want the design to be somewhat timeless. White is a great choice but some people have had a white bathroom for 15 years, and are ready for a change. Are you looking to do any renovations any time soon?
trends are useful for new ideas when a room actually does get upgraded. few people would ever remodel every year but when we do, boy do we need all the good ideas we can find!
I like the wood look tiles giving a more earthy feel and warmth to the bathroom. Thinking about doing just an accent wall in wood look and the rest in warm white.
I am loving your content, it's not the same OBVIOUS stuff many others spout out over luxurious or horrendous decor photos. I did sound production for many years, and I'm just suggesting you consider throwing out words in your script that wouldn't come up in your normal speech patterns. Trade _furthermore_ for _also,_ _as well as_ for _and._ You can also get a far more natural read with a couple of tricks (depends on the voice actor.) One is to have a glass or three of wine before hitting the mic, having a friend (or a picture of them and pretend) in the booth (room) with you and speak _to them._ Another that's hard to muster if you're shy, but worked great for me, is going over the top with your performance. Try to imitate a stewardess doing the safety demo, a demented used car salesman's 3 am TV spot or that gossipy aunt you used to sit next to at the church picnic. Getting "out" of yourself can honestly really help you find your own rhythm and tone. Keep it up. Great stuff.
Wow thank you for taking the time to give me advice. The internet can be a tough place but I appreciate your thoughtful and constructive advice to help me improve. I am still working on how to sound more conversational so will try those things out!
@@pennymodern - Half way through a bathroom reno, with a 2nd bathroom waiting to be reno'd afterwards. Mostly interested in avoiding any finish choices that may date quickly, but looks like most of my finish choices are consistent with your advice with some tweaks.
Bella, I agree, interior design is deeply personal. Some people love a colorful home, others just want neutrals or timeless designs. Thanks for the comment!
wow I am getting ready to redesign and this is what I had 20 years ago and so tired of it. I have warm taupe walls and ready for something new. How can I achieve a new look but stay in style
HI Dara, I know it's crazy that beige, taupe, and browns are coming back in style. Sometimes you just want something different. I would recommend creamy white walls, and maybe use warm wood tones for the vanity, along with some modern, but classic tiles.
What modernized my bathroom a lot was adding black! I painted my mirror cabinet and changed the plastic beige 80s towel hooks with a black towel rail and it looks amazing and modern with the beige and brown from former centuries. Also changing other hardware like the holder for toilet paper can make a huge difference
Wouldn't a blue bathroom just be a passing trend? I could see painting the walls and adding accessories in blue, but not the tiling, unless you can afford to switch it out in a few years. Also, IMO, when you have a large bathroom and are aiming to make it your sanctuary, a toilet and/or bidet should be behind another wall so you don't have to see it.
these colours were in trend 20 years ago and wont be back anytime in the next 50 years, white is still strong in the market especially white marble along with newer colours
@@pennymodern this was a great video and got a lot of views for a reason so ignore that persons comment. You can certainly try but remember only a tiny percent of people care where you look. As long as the video is good, which it was, 90% of people will be happy.
It might help to chop the recording session into shorter sections so you can pause in between and keep the energy going. reading a loooong passage of text is pretty draining and then editing it afterwards is worse. well done on good, useful content, so many bathroom videos are actually not even vaguely useful ❤
These video's are great if you have 'deep pockets', however, these days people are just trying to keep their heads above water financially. Right now, everyone is struggling to put food on the table and keep gas in the car and the utilities on....These over the top video's are no longer relevant
Hi Fred, I hear what you are saying. This channel is about affordable modern design. This video was meant for inspiration for those looking to incorporate some of the trends into their own bathroom design. I will try to do more videos about affordable design - thanks for the feedback.
dude. your experience is not universal. even broke people who are trying to repair or sell a house are looking for help and good ideas so these videos are suuuper useful.
the camera angle was just wrong. keeping your hands visible is easier if the camera is positioned with your head higher in frame and nothing in the way
White bathroom is always elegant, pristine, relaxing. Just saying
I love the blue!!
I love blue bathrooms too! Thanks for the comment Maria!

I wouldn’t want to change the design and decor of my home year after year just to be trendy. Thanks for sharing
Totally understand but some folks do want to make updates to be on trend. Would a “Timeless Bathroom Design” video be more helpful?

Great idea!
Blue is my favorite color for a sm bathroom I think I'm going to do our guest bathroom in a blue and white trim with a quartz white and gray counter
I love blue too! What color blue - light or dark?
Pendant lights!
I love pendant lights for the bathroom, great idea!

@@pennymodern In 6 months you'll be natural. In a year you'll have a vocabulary of tone shifts and ad libs. Don't stop.
Nice, succinct compilation video. Thanks for saving me from having to watch a dozen or so videos just trying to extract some info!
Thank you for watching! Happy to help! Are you planning a renovation soon?

@@johnborges5938 smart to do one at a time!
Nah, it’s personal preference. The green and peach didn’t look good 20-30 yrs ago and still doesn’t today.

Wood is back! Yes!!
Oh yes, def! In a BIG way Too!

I think blue is fairly timeless but maybe depends on the shade.

What do you think is a great color to use (besides white) in a bathroom today?
Thanks dear…its very distracting to look at you not looking at the camera.
Also, hands down.
Is she blind?
Thank you for the feedback, I will try to fix that in future videos. Feedback is a gift.

@@FinalStandChannel She gave her some good advice. Why should she ignore it, if it helps? 😮
Ha!! you were going say "safe space" instead of sanctuary
Nobody's perfect, what can I say. Thank you for watching Marilyn!
Thank you for the info, but it's more than obvious that you're reading all of this and it's quite distracting because you sound unsure of yourself.
I appreciate the feedback! I am trying a new format and will work on my voiceover technique. Thank you for watching and for the constructive feedback.

what about doorless showers.
Good question. I definitely am seeing more showers like that!
Trends last a decade or less after u spent so much it’s not worth it stick with what will last not something that’s in at the moment
I think we can all agree we want to spend our money on something that will last a long time. Thanks for the comment

I get all my information from major design publications that quote interior designers, and places like Better Homes and Gardens, and Houzz.
Your hands are distracting
