In this episode I wanted to share how I go through the process of decorating my new home. From choosing paint colours, to hanging pictures, and choosing decorative items to furnish my home. I explain how I make decorating decisions, and my plans for this new home.

This is a tip I read years ago about choosing a paint color. Instead of painting a small swatch on the wall, paint a good size piece of cardboard , which you can then move around to different locations in the room to see how it fits with your furniture and the natural light. Loved the video.

@jdm8532 2 года назад

I’m no expert, but doesnt the paint colour respond differently on a cardboard material than an actual wall?

@roywirick9854 2 года назад

they make “paper/plastic” sheets of a decent size to paint as a sample wall. you can move it about…against moulding and furniture and paintings etc. they represent the true color of the paint. (usually found in actual paint stores more than a DIY shop. i would around to see where, or even online :-) 🦩

It is inspiring to see that you value process and thoughtful reflection over speedy, dramatic transformation like many other channels. Thanks for the video - it added a lot of light to my day!

@rwatts2155 2 года назад

I agree. Nicholas has very traditional taste. He wants his home to reflect his taste and to house his beautiful things...which make him happy. His home should not and probably will not ever be "finished". They will reflect who he is and where he is in his life at any given time. I hate rooms that are so "decorated" that if you move a book 2 inches to the left or right on the coffee table the entire room looks "off". I also hate rooms that look as though they are not really LIVED in. Nicholas has a good handle on his taste, style, and what he wants to build toward.

@edithp.7213 2 года назад

Hi Nicolas, may I offer a suggestion? Instead of painting tiny samples directly onto the wall, paint some large poster boards instead. This gives you a much larger sample and allows you to move the samples all around the room into different lighting conditions. Also, darker colors appear much lighter once they’re on larger surfaces.

@kimberlyperrotis8962 Год назад

This is so important, those little squares of paint just don’t give an accurate idea of what a color at all and often are overly influenced by the existing wall color.🙂

@LornaD_CottageNecessities 2 года назад

Personally think your instincts for the darker color is spot on and will bring the walls in, making the room feel more cozy and provide a nice contrast for all of your light furniture, white accessories and light rug of choice. Thought your painting would look great over the fireplace but not sure of scale. Large mirror in dining room making panels on either side with wallpaper and moldings. I’m loving your soft style and the new chairs will look fabulous.

@LornaD_CottageNecessities 2 года назад

Wow Nick! You’re on a roll! Kudos😁. I love seeing your progress. XO

@margymullins67 2 года назад

Beautiful tour. Consider the painting over the fireplace, the mirror in the dining room, the desk as the focal wall across from the front door and the small table for the key drop with 3 botanical prints over. Add plants to the corner round table, throws on the bench and candles everywhere and voila! Heaven with no expense🧡

@janelocke7747 2 года назад

Consider painting Mouse’s Back in dining room. I think dark color walls with candles is elegant dining. That would be daring to do until you can wallpaper. Also like the idea of the painting over the fireplace and mirror in dining room.

@carennorthcutt7724 2 года назад

Yes. I would be reluctant to see that mirror. Yes, it's a smidgen too big for the mantelpiece, but personally, I'd live with it until I found something else. Can you use the Mouse's Back paint for a closet or inside the cabinets in the kitchen? If you love it, you love it. Just not in the Living Room.

@deborahmac1997 2 года назад

Love your ideas for the color. I was leaning into the Old White myself. Have you considered applying a chair rail in the dining room, painting the lower half and papering only the upper? I think it would still give that beautiful transitional veiw from the living room. Wainscoting would work with your furniture and architecture of the space. 💞

@ohPokey 2 года назад

Love that idea, and it will leave money for the rug he wants.

@melissalysk1039 2 года назад

Great idea of papering just the upper half!

@TheGyreMadHatter 2 года назад

Yes! I was thinking that idea too. Or installing wall frame molding (like oversized picture frames) and wall papering inside the frames and painting the trim something light with the wall color picking up a shade from the wallpaper.

@deborahmac1997 2 года назад

@@TheGyreMadHatter YES, that too was my first thought. That could be the conservative answer to a shortage of expensive wall paper. Especially in a rental.

@vickym9221 2 года назад

Wood is sort of expensive right now, so maybe he could just do a focal wall with the wallpaper instead? He could leave the white or use paint on the other walls. Mouse's back would tie in nicely because of the brown stems in the wallpaper. However, he's said it's an even darker room than the living area so he probably wouldn't want a dark, dramatic color in there. I painted a burgundy focal wall in the darkest room of my house because I like a moody vibe, but I know not everyone does!

You made the right choice for the walls. May I make a suggestion for the dining room? Why not put up a chair rail and paint the bottom area with your living room color while using your wallpaper above the chair rail. This should cut your wallpaper expense in half. I love your taste and like your new apartment.

in my old home which was cottage style, I painted the guest room "Ethiopia" by Behr. the room was north facing and not much light. I fell hard in love with it. I then did my master bedroom in it, including the ceiling! My friend fell hard for it and used it for her den, again, north facing. I was so afraid it would look dull, depressing, and too dark (it was 2 shades dark that mouse back). It was so elegant, cozy and opened up the room, oddly enough. It was glorious with the light colored furniture I had at the time. Do it! Do it! Mouse Back! :) I'm enjoying your journey. Thank you for taking us along!

@blondeenigma3882 2 года назад

Because it's a basement flat but quite a bright one compared to some, you don't want to lose any precious light and airiness you've got ! Choose the lighter paint as it will still be the muted background colour for all your furniture / pictures. Also the sisal rug will be something plain to match all the patterns already in the room and be far more hardwearing. My son has one from IKEA and it looks good with his teal accented colour scheme and wooden floor.

Lovely room Nicholas! Have you tough about getting a larger piece of cardboard and paint it with the colour you want to use. I find it very beneficial to get the feel of it. I think having to budget when setting up a room or house is a good thing. You think about what you want a bit more, and it is so special when you can finally buy it and enjoy it at home. More often than not I have been glad not being able to afford to buy a piece of furniture or decoration right there and then, because it probably wouldn’t have been right, or I changed my mind later. Falling in love with a piece in a shop or online doesn’t always mean it will go with your things. Looking forward to seeing all the change you will make, and it’ll be very beautiful!

You usually have a choice to have the property furnished or unfurnished. You sign a lease and you strict to the terms. A private landlord might be more flexible but not always. It is hard to get accommodation in Ireland so the Landlord calls the shots!!

Dear Nicolas, choosing a color is a great temptation. This brighter color promises more optimism in the atmosphere of the room.

I can't wait to see the flat when it is decorated - it is going to look so beautiful! I think Nicholas is hoping for the companies to send him the rug and armchairs!

Your new home is becoming beautiful! I love the circular painting over the bearua. Have you considered the painting over the fireplace? I've always had mirrors over mine and switched out to a painting and to my surprise I really enjoy it.

I like the Old White thinking it more suitable for the room. Everything is shaping up beautifully. Best of luck and glad your health is on the mend. 🌞🌞🌻

I love the way you state you are saving up for some expensive items. Very down to earth. You are not ruled by a need for instant gratification. Have you considered switching the placements of the large painting and the mirror?

In another setting "mouse's back" would be right, but because you are in a basement apartment it is looking too dark. The pictures you showed as an example of how it looks were not in a lower part of a house. And even though you are getting plenty of light, it's nowhere near what you would be getting in an upper floor---and winter is coming soon! That picture of the "two ladies" was of Dido Elizabeth Belle and her white cousin. I have a great print that I found in the trash when I lived in New York City! Had it reframed and it looks great. Sometimes I wonder if it is worth a lot of money and someone threw it in the trash without realizing it---wishful thinking.

I agree--the curved walls were unique and interesting.

I love your vlog. As a designer myself I appreciate your work! As I am designing a forever home for my partner and I and your vlog is giving me inspiration. Thank you. Can’t wait to see your living room painted the old white color.

I can’t see Farrow & Ball without thinking of the SNL skit

@deniseborchardt4491 2 года назад

I have never heard of this paint. I just watched the SNL skit after reading your comment-funny!

@hookecho8283 2 года назад

Love it! You could also use the paper you have to do an accent wall rather than purchasing more paper. Wonderful video.

@LeCrenn 2 года назад

Yes, my thought as well.

@deniseborchardt4491 2 года назад

I assumed he was only doing an accent wall from his last video. I agree, maybe just do the wall seen from the living room.

Thank you for introducing me to Old White ! I have a feeling it would make a great backdrop for a collection of pictures, apart from anything else. Looking forward to the next update on decorating the new flat.

@sharonwilliamson4592 2 года назад

I do like the “mouse is back” but living on a lower level you don’t want to retreat to a mole hole and that would be the feeling that I would have returning to a dark color like that on my walls. The dark white is elegant but who knows maybe you’ll come up with something else you like. 👍💕 enjoy your videos.

@beckysharper6509 2 года назад

Elegance and style isn't safe, the ceilings are high, room symmetrical - don't fear colour.

@mesatrees8841 2 года назад

Yes

Hi Nicolas, Glad to hear your feeling better. Yes your home beautiful already.

@teresahalliday3680 2 года назад

The furniture layout is looking so nice and must be starting to feel like home. I like the mouse's back color. With white trim and your lighter furniture plans, it would be a nice contrast as well as being cozy. Your occasional chaira might look too similar to the walls if you use the old white color. Have you though of reupolstering them in a print? They look so nice on either side of the fireplace. Did you buy this place or are you renting? Here in the states, in most rentals, you have to paint back to the boring white they usually have when you move in. Is it not the same in Scotland? I like your realistic approach to your decorating. There is nothing wrong with planning, saving, and waiting for EXACTLY what you want!

@teresaemery1339 2 года назад

I also was wondering about spending the amount of money on the walls (Mouse Back is great!) if you are just renting. That may be a US thing, but if you’re going to save for wallpaper and then have to leave it when you move.... I don’t think I could do it.
