All those pictures look like hotel lobbies, not like actual homes. Maybe mansions of rich people. I get that it's fascinating for designers to work with those spaces since there's the money to really get creative. But for me as a middle class viewer of your video there's nothing I can relate to. It's all way out of my league. Also, I do feel a contradiction between "no cookie cutter design" and "more like hotel lobby design". Sorry, but hotel style or hotel lobbies aren't personalized by default, so they ARE a cookie cutter style in my opinion. This video is interesting to watch but not really helpful. Also, I watch from Germany, maybe that's also why I cannot relate to those "homes" at all...
@plantylittlewoman I completely disagree with the "hotel lobby looks" comments & in no way are the photos from mansions. What I can say, though, is I am mot a fan of the trends depicted., and possibly neither are you - which is why you can't relate - and, like you, neither can I.
As someone who lives in Europe... people think less of what is in trend and more of what is meaningful... but I guess people have a general sense of style where history is preserve as something valued...
Me neither, lol. Some "trends" have been "trendy" for a while (natural materials, rustics, semi/precious stones, layering, etc.), others are interesting, but frankly, nothing earth-shattering (irregular rug shapes, for example), and some are not so great at all. (Oh, give me a break with the handmade Moroccan-inspired tiles; in three years, everyone who has them will be screaming how they couldn't see how impractical they are - read - they get dirty very quickly, and cleaning them is THE JOB😞!) You do you and enjoy it; trends come and go; personal style has the potential to be immortal (although this point doesn't apply to everyone, lol!)
Yes, same as fashion and hair trends. It keeps people consuming. I say find your personal style and do that. It's wasteful to completely overhaul everything every 2 - 5 years, imo.
Exactly! I cannot thank you enough for that! I am a designer, and I hate thinking/talking about "trends." Unless people are doing something nonsensical, unhealthy, and illogical, their personal, individual style should be the most important "trend" - for them!
Cookie cutter houses with the kitchen in the living room and few walls IS CHEAPER for the builder and looks it. Thank you for holding out hope that it's finally on the way out.
I'm happy open floor plans are going out of style. I don't want to see my refrigerator and cabinets from the sofa. I want to put art on the walls. And I don't want to smell food from the kitchen all over the downstairs
🥰Farewell, open floor plans! TV volume can finally be turned down b/c it will not have to compete with running water from the kitchen sink, cooks can listen to music while others are enjoying their own entertainment. Wow! Two or more persons finally have the option to enjoy different things simultaneously without impediment. Rooms can have their own distinct personalities, there will be walls to hang pictures, doors can be closed on messes, everyone won’t be forced to either hang out with each other or to cloister in their bedrooms. I am sure many like the open floor plan, but for me a traditional layout wins hands down.
Both concepts have their pros and cons; it really depends on what fits the particular person/s better. Also, it depends on the property - some houses can become beauty queens when they "get open," and some can benefit from in-building walls and (closed) doors. There indeed isn't any - "one size fits all." No, it doesn't.
It’s not “zell-ee-guh” but instead “zelleejh”… it’s also spelled zellij. It derives from an old Arabic word meaning “slide “ or similar, in reference to the high glaze. It’s an ancient style of tile, each slightly different because they’re handmade.
I got you; it always depends - on who you are, what's your lifestyle, how many members of the household live in the house, etc., and, of course, it depends on the property itself and the limitations that may/not need to apply to it. Both concepts have their pros and cons and it very much depends on what fits you/the property better.
Suzie Anderson has great videos including many decorating styles as Traditional, European, French Country, Cottage and many more. Very high end "look", not cookie cutter look.
I ve always wanted a warm textured wallpaper in our home but I am not alone in this house, my husband doesnt like it. I think most men dont. They dont seem to like a cosy environment. They want functionality etc. Whats it like to have a brain like that. If I had my way our house would look like an english cottage with the beams and everything. But no "his parents had that and its old fashion". Omg 😅
I really enjoyed this video. Your voice is easy on the ears - limited vocal fry. Yay! Thank you. Great recommendations and kudos for the photos you choose to illustrate the points. The cabinet with the slightly curved edges and flowing horizontal wood grain was stunning.

I want dark minimalism to be a thing. Not masculine, not industrial, not japandi - just minimalism with a dark color palette. Enough of all white everything. I love cork, I have it on two statements walls
If you love it, make dark minimalism a thing - for yourself! You don't need to wait until it becomes trendy; calmly do you, and enjoy the results of your creative soul. I am pretty sure it will be beautiful - trendy or not, lol!
The “Undone Maximalism” room looks like a post-college kid’s room who can bore you to death with their knowledge of ‘design rules’ and name dropping obscure niche designers over a glass $3 wine while petting a stinky cat, but who’s never actually designed anything.
Just say “No!” to wallpapered ceilings! Yes - very hard to install, but think of having to remove it! We’re about to move and look for housing. Any house with wallpaper is highly individualized to someone else’s personal taste and is a headache to remove, but think about having to remove it from the ceiling!
neither is the all beige look. Ital style not my fav. Love the do your own thing curate your own style...always going to look good. Nice channel, new liker. :) Look at trends, appreciate them, but never follow them...you'll go nuts and broke. Do what you love, it will all work. Velvet is so cool. I have flocked velvet drapes in my kitchen dining area and I've had them for years. They are that Amber honey color...awesome. Finding those are very difficult. Moss wall will just get really dusty really fast and flake to the floor eventually. I feel like every year the "trends" push in the opposite direction of the year before (or at least they try to)...so we keep spending and bouncing back and forth between looks. Don't fall for it!
Find it sooooo strange that American people talk about European Style....that's non existing 😂 In Europe we have Italian, French, Spanish, Turkish, German, Flemish and so many more styles and fashion...each country has it's own style...as well as food, music, mentality, etc...and they are very different from each other😅
I think when Americans talk about "European Style" they are talking about classic luxe. A detailed timeless look. High ceilings, decorative panels, moldings, investment pieces for furnishings, etc.
Hi, just stumbled across your video and I really like your energy and fun personality. I will be watching other videos you’ve done especially on color. Thanks for not being stuffy, the “human” element you bring makes watching you discuss design is very comfortable. Would love your take on my design style some time. Happy holidays.
Maximunlist will always been in style and eclectic style because you can always modify it and go with the flow. But I don’t follow trends much definitely eclectic pick what I like and get it mix and match. Traditional style too is another one that will never go out of style because it is a timeless classic. Just my opinion but honestly to each their own!
I go in between maximalist and minimalist. But I do like the coziness the undone maximalist look is. And it always reminds me a little more of a regular middle class home I guess then the other pics.
🤣 Now that I see it I can't unsee it.... there was a chair that a supplier I used a lot makes and from the back it looked like a diaper. I have never looked at it the same...and I had purchased a bunch of them 🤭
The way you're saying "about" immediately gives you away... ah Canadian 😃 I am in process of apartment renovation and some cool ideas I'm getting. Awsome video 👍🏼
Enjoyed the video! Can you tell me the brand, name/number of the Almond Beige/Mushroom paint please? I've watched your color videos also and didn't hear it. Thank you! And keep the videos coming😊
The undone maxilisum is ok for a week end or day off, just a bum around kind of day, but not an every day thing. I do love to mix the modern and rustic decor, it feels homey.
Sorry but most of this is generic middle of the road and things we’ve been doing a while now. The messed up bed wasn’t a style that was just life someone was obviously making fun of you and you gave it a trend name.
Hey.. thanks for the engagement in my channel. If I'm popular enough for someone in a random blog to make fun of me through a style I didn't create. That's pretty neat... 😆 you have a great day though!
I'm so inspired to update my living room after watching this! Especially loving the vintage lamps and unique kitchen items. Any tips for incorporating these trends on a budget?
It seems that these new trends are way too opulent and ostentatious for my taste, even if I did have the money for it. I don't know, I would always feel that I'm in somebody else's house. A space invader! How about some trends for the rest of us mere mortals?
Thanks for the info!! Very interesting!!! I watched your video today( for the first time)which I liked how you explain!!! Keep the good work!! I'll be watching more videos for sure!!Wishing you the Best for the coming Year 2024!!!🎀😊😊🎀🎀🎀👍👍🌺🌺
What's "European" about that? What's new about hotel luxury design? What exactly is undone about those examples? Rustic textures have been popular forever if you live in Montana and Wyoming. Cork was proven to be a terrible material for anything except bulletin boards 20 years ago. hmmm...dislike your opinions, sorry.
Thank you so much! In the commercial design world we get a lot of information through our vendors, they pay big marketing dollars for access to trends. So I take what I learn from events like NeoCon in Chicago where these companies launch there next year looks and styles. And then do a lot of online research around residential trends that are moving in the same direction 😊 but at the end of the day, we're never 100% sure what will become a "commercial" success. Thank you for watching!!
Hope you all saved all that Sheetrock after knocking down walls to make open concept areas. According to this video, you have to put those walls back up. Then, paint them with the current color of the year. Save your brushes for next year’s color. It never ends…
You're right... it never ends. Everything changes. That is life. Guess what You don't have to do any of it... but it won't change that things change. What ppl like change. It is what it is
What I am doing is to put the old doors back up. I live in a flat from the 70- ties. Back then there was a door from the livingroom to both the kitchen and the rest of the flat. And a door from the kitchen to the rest of the flat. So 3 more doors. Electrisity was expensive at that time. As it is now again. When I fire the stove, I can warm a room first and then the rest. I live in the north of Norway and it's cold outside. Everything get more expensive. I have to pay 2000 kroner ( 200 euro ) more each Month just to live in my own flat from now on.
Great question! Like wood, it can be regrown. It is a regenerative product. Here is AD's formal description: "Cork breaks down completely without releasing nasty toxins back into the environment, and it can be repurposed and recycled. Regarded as a highly sustainable material, cork is also self-regenerative and does not contribute to deforestation"
This was such a great video. I’m in love with this style and I have been for a while. I’m finally redoing my house. Can you please show us the best mushroom colors and the rugs?
Agreed! Undone maximalism is just doing the most… maximalism already has a lot going on, that’s the one design style that can easily already look “lived in”. If you sneeze it can look messy. Undone is just an excuse to say I don’t feel like putting stuff away. That already happens in life, no need to justify it as a style.
If those colours are coming in 2024 Im ripping that WHOLE YEAR out of my callendar! Are you kidding me! Just looking at those velvets & rainbow coloured garbage has scarred me for life! Blind me! 🤢 ( The emoji matches the way it makes me feel - uncomfortably ILL! )
