HOME DECOR TRENDS TO AVOID | INTERIOR DESIGN 

I was like ‘DO IT!!’ 😂

🤣🤣 my team and clients will probably all leave though… 😑

Hear, hear!

@@sophiepatersoninteriorsltd 😂😂😂😂

Yes please!

@Cherish Dials - I agree with you so much on the comfort! I still kind of regret getting rid of the most comfy couch I ever owned, though the frame was never going to be quite right for where I wanted to go, design wise. Looking back, I wish I had custom designed the base and reupholstered it though. I would have made it works somewhere, somehow, if I had known that I just wasn't going to get that perfect fit and comfort again. It had some pretty lines, except for the base, And I didn't want a skirt at the bottom anymore.

@@bitrudder3792 - I feel lucky because in the country in Indiana where I’m from-if you don’t have a plaid couch you’re in the height of sophistication 😂😂😂 and yes. Comfort is more important than style to me. I’m sorry about your couch. That mustard velvet couch truly was hideous though.

@@in2wishin nobody said anything about Sophie. So why are you bringing her up? Glad you like your table.

You don’t have to get rid of anything you like. Comfortable is important too and if they’re happy about it so keep it. They’re probably not watching this video anyways. There’s no video for everybody. But personally I appreciate content like this. I want to find inspiration for styling my home and she’s def more experienced and skilled than I am. I’m grateful for the FREE advice. It’s YOUR choice to follow it or not. And if it’s not for you, just close it and move on to the next. It’s subjective anyways

@@yeeefaaan9627 - ok Karen. You want me to move on and not say anything but you said plenty about it. Grow tf up.

Agreed!

I do agree. I have a glass topped coffee table and console table. I think they look fine.

I have a glass top table outside. Love how easy it is to clean.

Agree

And without the glass table top, how would one get those cute squidgy kitty paw views?!

@Yeeefaaan - I'm with Sophie on the cleaning part, too! My mom used to tell me that her decor choices stemmed partly from having to a lot of dusting of decorative ornaments at her home growing up - it was definitely NOT part of her life's plan to keep doing that! The older I get the MORE important this is to me.

I agree about the glass top since it becomes virtually invisible.

I disagree with her on glass top tables. I like them.

As a nurse and as someone getting older, I look at glass coffee tables a little more suspiciously, lol! It's easy to trip over what you don't see. But glass tables are awesome for creating that sense of space. Not so great for toddlers who seem to crack their heads on them regularly.😅

@@bitrudder3792 OMG my Mom got a glass top coffee table and a glass table for the kitchen a few years ago, and they were so uncomfortable. I expected my parents house to be the ultimate in comfort, but suddenly I was always terrified that I was going to put my feet up accidentally and smash them through the glass. Or place something heavy down on the kitchen table and shatter it. I missed their big sturdy furniture that used to be there when there were 7 of us living in the house lol

@@goodgrief888 - I can totally picture that, we were 7 also! Big round formica kitchen table with a generous turntable made serving a breeze, and only wooden or marble coffee tables (for the living room)! I miss those! The wooden one was a box that held out of season clothing/blankets and rolled on casters. The marble one would be so chic today, lol! But there's nothing like sturdy, purposeful furniture! And its so hard to feel "at home" with glass sometimes, even if it creates a nice look!

Yes please!

Yes, bad taste isn't limited to poor people.😅 Some of the humblest places are the most inviting and tastefully arranged and edited.

I also have a glass top table which I am keeping. I use placemats and sometimes a table runner. I love the glass look.

That would be fun, if she did a wood mixing video. We have solved that problem with a few clever techniques. We have both orange toned and reddish brown toned wood stained furniture, and some medium cooler brown items. And peachy pinky millennial tile. And blonde wood. I mostly separated the blonde wood from the red brown stuff in different rooms. Walls were painted a dark brown, Sherwin-Williams Jute brown, That has a coral base that makes the orange cabinets and mental sing beautifully together and looks good with the floor. Amazing difference people think we have new cabinets. A leather chair in a cognac color that harmonizes with the orange wood, A ceiling fan with blades of the same color, apparel Woodchest and a vintage sewing box and some water hyacinth chairs in similar orange to cinnamon tones balance out a few pieces in the more traditional reddish brown opium table, fluted pedestal, end table. Walls that are not dark brown or a light pinkish Taupe that goes great with the floor, another throwback color to the early 2000s but it works. The trick was to find a color to tie them all together and the brown with the coral undertone accomplished that. The other trick is to marry Wood with low grain patterns. The busier the wood, the more visual excitement there is. The harder it is to get them to behave together. So our rustic pine furniture, even though a lot of it carries the same orange tone, I don't put it anywhere near this stuff. It's upstairs doing its thing in a more organic and natural way. The low grain blonde furniture in white birch and unstained maple lives at the front of the house, I will be adding a more espresso dark brown wall and white curtains and off-white to that space and it will still relate. A blonde wood accent chair actually is not too bad when I move it temporally into the family room where all this other wood is happening. It relates because it has a cream colored upholstery on the seat, and that goes with the soft white curtains, cream club chairs, white piano, white kitchen counters, etc. Oh, and we got a beige flecked soft white Berber area rug to add more neutrals for the wood tones to play off of. Empty nesting is great, you can have the kind of carpet you want! So minding your woodgrain and stacking on the neutral of your choice to play with your Woodtones is another strategy.

👍🏼

Lol. Glad You enjoyed it, you’re right faux plant walls are my nemesis!!

It’s useful for people that travel a lot or work very long hours or have multiple homes

💯

I wish I had bought more than one cream colored hundred percent wool shaggy rug when it was $79 at the big box store. It was the perfect 4 x 6 size for our bathroom to keep it from having this odd array of bathmats scattered around and asymmetrical flooring space. It really elevated the space, felt good underfoot, and the standard hotel style bath mat that we used in front of the tub and shower could be put out of the way/into the laundry When not in immediate use. It lasted a really long time before it finally started to look sad, and then I was sad because I didn't have another one and I couldn't find anyone selling such a thing at such a reasonable price and at just the right size!

@@bitrudder3792 There's alot of things I'd wished I'd bought before covid lol the price of everything has become ridiculous.

That’s so lovely to hear Jessica

Thanks so much for watching and your kind comments. Don’t worry about making mistakes, we all grow and change. No shame in that 😘

I know the feeling

So glad you enjoyed it and bracing myself for the trolls 😬🫣🤣

It’s definitely not a rule just my opinion 🤣 my kids would probably love playing games with them ⚽️

Plantation Chairs---just looked those up. My, aren't they lovely? I'm particularly fond of the wicker seat and back inserts. And most interpretations also look as if they'd be more comfortable than the Pierre Jeanneret Chairs.

🤣 say it louder for those at the back! Could not agree more 😂

Thanks so much Julio

Thank you!!

Thanks that means a lot!
