ALTERNATIVE IDEAS for the INTERIOR TRENDS that I H8 

I came for interior design insight, I stayed for the aggressive but passionate opinions.

If you're not artistically inclined and there's a university in your area with an art department, you can also get student art a lot cheaper than most galleries, and it's still really good professional quality. And you'll be supporting a new artist in their career.

You will never find an actual farmhouse with a barn door. Barn doors are for ... barns.

I really appreciate your no bs approach! I love your videos

Those round tufted pillows are vintage! My great aunt made them for me when I was a kid in the 1950's. I love your videos, BTW and I especially love how grumpy you get. Cracks me up.

Instead of faux vines - real plants. Instead of foam everything - literally anything but that.

In short, interior design shouldn't be based on trends cuz insides of houses will be as cookie cutter as outsides of houses. Figure out what sort of timeless jumping off point you want to work from & then dial up the levels of eclectic, whimsy, and so on until you get to what you like. Like I'm almost 25, still living at home and I have several colored fairy lights around my room, one cuz my eyes like dimmer lighting and two I'm still a child at heart. Does it look particularly good? Eeh meh. Does it make me happy? Yes! I know if I can ever afford to buy a house, its going to be just as dumb & quirky looking. _Its about finding comfort and gaining joy from how you've personalized your space_ . Just try not to do obnoxious projects that make it hard for the next person(s) to redesign/renovate after, if you are to move out.

Thank you for introducing your dog, absolutely key

it would be nice if you make videos showing us good interior designs for different styles like this is good modern design or italian renaissance...

I honestly don't think you're cruel or mean... I totally think you're funny with a strong personality! 💪 Plus, a lovely taste 💅🏻

Also if you want vines in your room buy a Pothos! They look so much classier than the fake ones and they grow like crazy

*Paige* , I appreciate your videos so much. I love your No Nonsense Approach to design.

i would Love a video of design tips for small spaces! my boyfriend and i are moving in with his dad soon and want to create a small living space in our bedroom away from his family while also having it be a cozy, comforting vibe. any tips would be very welcomed!

"wherever these little things are sold" I LOOOOVE IT! LOL

It is so refreshing how honest you are!! I am so frustrated by constantly seeing content creators avoid saying what they actually think because they are so terrified of offending someone. It’s so nice to hear honest opinions! Plus your suggestions are really helpful!

YES an interior design roast would be hilarious hahaha

Death to LED and barn doors! Ha great video

Art that doesn’t tell you to drink your coffee 😂😂😂💕💕 love it.

It's funny because my design trend pet peeve are rando sconces with exposed cords. It just looks unfinished to me. If you don't have a conveniently hidden outlet like yours, then I think you're better off with a normal table lamp.

I kept thinking that you reminded me of someone and then I figured out who it was...a combination of Kristen Stewart and Drew Barrymore, both beautiful women.

Omg your vids are exactly what I’ve been needing in my life!! You are such a breath of fresh air in the designer RU-vid space. Thanks for bringing an authentic and unique style and perspective - love it!

I must say, I have one of those round pillows from Target on my bed, and it's comfy as hell. I feel like the little dip in the middle is perfectly head-shaped, and then the pillow doesn't get all out of shape from me squishing it around trying to get comfy. I just found your channel recently, I really enjoy your videos!

I love the fact that you are straight forward and to the point. It's great to see a young designer that's mature with great design advice. Really like your videos.

I did the half walls instead of the arch. As you mentioned, the arch feels “too trendy”. I only painted the walls surrounding my bed (small room in Chicago as well). Then, on a wall that wasn’t painted I painted the closet doors to match the half walls (the whole closet door, not half). It looks great, really completed the look. I also love painted doors... hopefully Pinterest and TikTok don’t ruin that for me.

You should review home makeovers by "interior design/ Diy" youtubers such as The sorry girls, mrkate etc. Or would that stir the pot too much? I really like your videos!! You're the next big think on interior design RU-vid!!

Your video’s literally saved my room from looking like pastel TikTok throwup! Thank you!

I'm not a big fan of the round pillows either but they are found in mid century décor so for the mid mod fans out there it is something that is on point for that era.

Love the spilt line paint look! Never thought of doing that.

I have a barn door going into my bathroom. I love it because my son made it for me.😚

I’m obsessed would love to see more of your design ideas

Yessssss! I’ve been waiting for this, love your style so much♥️

Hi! I recently move out from my parents home and started to live on my own, I like your videos a lot because it helps me to find alternatives and to think twice before I fall on some trends that are not going to age well, so, thank you! Thanks also for being very straight forward, I really appreciate it!

I love all your suggestions and decorating style, plus I just love your spunk and honesty Have you ever done a tour of your home, would love to see it

I respect that you have a strong opinion right to the point.always fun of creating and opposed to re-doing/copying

Yes! Would love more videos on design suggestions/ likes 😍 you have such a good eye

Lol. Is it bad that i kind of like that painted arch?😄 But i feel like it looks eather nice or completely horrendous (like over the door), never in between... but it DOES look cute sometimes tho ;-; ngl

Thank you Paige, I agree with you! Your dog is so cute 🥰

Environmentally conscious!! Love it 😍

Love all of your suggestions!🙌

I always find excellent frames at the thrift store!

I liked your previous videos as well as this one. They were informative and opinions and suggestions only. Thanks for providing alternatives.

I really like you videos and find them very informative!

I feel like the two toned walls were very popular when I was a kid in the late 90s/early 2000s (especially separated by molding), I'm really surprised to see that suggested.

I've definitely find my decor Channel! Girl, you speak my language! Loveeeee your tips and taste!!! 🥰 🥰

Makes totally sense. I like the sleek barn doors!

Great alternative ideas! Love this channel!

Paige, I am living and dying for your interior opinions. Just moved and binging your youtube so I can decorate my apartment with all of your advice lol

Love these suggestions!

Great idea with pendent lights!

Amazing advice, just loved the amazing guidance for interior trends, Imma search videos of yours doing masculine bedrooms bc I'm currently changing things tho

Great alternatives! Love all your content. Sending good vibes all the way from Trinidad W. I.

Cannot get enough of your content!!

I really like your simple covered headboard (I thought that I didn't like fabric headboards because I don't like the buttons) and the curtains for the closet doors work really well. Oh, I like the painted half walls, too.

I don't do pillows, just junk up things. Always having to move them to make a space functional. Despise shiplap but I guess it's that white color I don't like. Your idea is good.

OMYGOD THANK YOU FOR THE VIDEO. This is exactly what I was thinking. Thank you

I love your videos thank you !!

Love your videos! Can’t wait for more! :)

I love the white ship lap! I live in Queensland, Australia and the old 'queenslander' homes with those walls (we call them vj walls) are the best! So grand and country I love them so much

This was awesome.

Yes girl! I love this content 🙌

A breath of fresh air !!

Can't wait for the next one!

love the no BS approach...keep it reallll

The LED's are not for a muted kinda cozy lighting experience, but it's just cool because they change color. I feel like it'd be great, if you had ideas for dorm rooms that are more youthful than a sconce made of twigs.

I love your suggestions. Your idea of stapling fabric on to the back of a head board. Light bulb moment for me. I don’t do DIY well so I love that idea. Next one of these do your replacement ideas for pampas grass, please!

Great Suggestions! I like them all!

Please do more of these!!!

I love this

Liked whilst watching the ad before the video ❤️

I’m obsessed with your channel 🤩

I loved this

Omg. The headboard and curtain ideas... My mind is blown!!!

Love your painted chair art and I ALWAYS buy my frames from thrift shops!💙🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Love your videos

I made my daughter's headboard. I got a piece of plywood and 2 - 2x4s, some batting material and fabric from Joann's. I had some spray paint on hand and used that for the 2x4s. We've changed out the fabric 3 times as she's grown older. Fairy garden, black and white damask, and now a white velvety material with gold stars. I'm sure she will have this headboard for years to come until she gets a bigger bed. She loves being able to change out the fabric with her moods. LOL.

I’m so glad I’ve found someone who despises barn doors as much as me 🥰

I need a video.on rugs lol. Want a rug for my office. Got a circular one. Unsure where to.putit. the middle? Under my chair? Half under a cabinet. Ah ahaha. I'll play wit it. Love your input and your honest videos. You're funny and helpful

I love these videos

Great video! Any opinions on wallpaper? What types of wallpaper could stand the test of time in terms of trends? Then again, they're easy to swap out if they're not trendy anymore... I'd love to hear your input, Paige!

I actually am going to do the exact same idea you did with your headboard. I order a couple of weeks ago an headboard on sale and am going to staple textured fabric as well. Your's turned out great! So it makes me more confident that mine DIY will turn out ok

lol you're a better person than me. i woulda stood ten toes deep in the "fuck the live laugh love signs" and left it there

You're so right on all of this. Sick of farmhouse and boho rooms that all look alike.

i would love paint ideas that i can do. i really like the arch ideas or an accent walls but i dont know how to make it more unique other than a tiktok trend.

People love someone who is confident. This girl has it so much I followed her for the attitude. We need to help promote women who are confident and sure of themselves. We need more girls who have this strong attitude, especially if politics! (I’m still a little Prudie on the language for the title, but I like her attitude so much I’m ignoring the language--because she’s awesome.) She is really sure of what she is saying and I am so here for it. #GRLPower

i like all the earrings you wear.

I make art with mainly chairs on it and it made me so happy to hear that someone else also loves chair art! :'-)

My house had shiplap when I bought it 14 years ago. I painted two rooms white immediately which visually doubled the space. My furnishings are mostly modern and or weird. Could use a little more space.

Loving these, they’re so entertaining to me lol. What’s your opinion on taper candle sconces on either side of a bed instead of lamp sconces? I found some cool long/skinny black iron candle sconces but not sure if that’d look weird?

good alternatives and loving your videos!! also loved your floating side tables, where from?

i would love to have like Japanese style sliding doors that go into the wall. i really just hate when something doesnt serve a function , as well as looking nice.

You are such a Queen 👑 ♥️ keep doing videos ♥️

Liking your videos👍

The mid century dark wood shiplap makes it look like a cabin in my opinion... it’s kind if worse than white

You should review Daveed Diggs and Emmy Raver's home tour on AD! Or just watch it because it's great.

I love your videos I want you to decorate my place!!!!

Arvin Olano here on RU-vid suggested a arched mirror rather than the painted arch and I like that a lot! I was going to paint an arch and then place an ornate mirror in the center but the idea of painted the border of an arched mirror is wet

I´ve watched all your videos! I need more! PS: but not more youtuber houses, they are boring af.

Interesting, I just found round pillows on Etsy the other day and hadn't considered before. I didn't know they were big at Target. I have many different types of pillows in many textures and shapes.

Hi Paige! I absolutely love your channel and you've really inspired me to get more into design. Do you have any books/channels you recommend for people who are interested in learning more about designing and interiors? I'm really keen to learn more but there's so much stuff online it can be hard to tell where the right place to start is! Thank you so much xx P.S. I absolutely love your style in clothes as well so if you wanted to, it'd be amazing to hear where you tend to shop!

I love that dog
