DATED HOME TRENDS MAKING A MAJOR COMEBACK | HOME TRENDS 2022 | DESIGN MISTAKES & EASY FIXES 

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 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. 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.

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.

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.

Wallpaper is definitely a great aid when you are looking for more than just paint.

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! 😂

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!

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.

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 😍

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 .

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 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 ❤️

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.

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%!

Yep. Neutral as a background drop and color on the accessories that can be changed as you please.

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

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!

That sounds beautiful

@@nikkid4890 Thank you.

I love those ideas

@@BelindaShanle Thank you.

Sounds lovely.

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.

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!

Thanks for sharing!!

You're so welcome!

Thanks to cricut, it has in some ways.

“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.

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

I'm in Montgomery. lol I transformed my boring little subdivision home into what I named "French Twist Cottage." Everyday I wake up and try to pretend I don't live in Alabama.

That’s so sweet!

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 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.

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.
