There is too much push to get people to replace everything every few years if not sooner. One video actually suggested that pine furniture, oak furniture, maple, and some other nice wood items were to be gotten rid of as they were 'dated'. I sit here at my 1960s oak desk to say it's never going anywhere. Nor is my maple china hutch, nor my other vintage solid wood pieces. If anything, I might buy more. My idea of redecorating is maybe a change of curtains, sofa pillows, bedspread and a little paint. The big stuff I have had for a long time and plan to keep it. Trends not withstanding.

I like your approach here. Especially if those furnishings are solid hardwood.

@rockshot100 3 месяца назад

In a word, "CONTEXT" would be another way of explaining this. However, in a very casual setting, I like to add a few ultra lux pieces, as long then blend very well so as not to look like a mistake. I like the contrast or tension this creates, it is very interesting. THANKS!

I’ve learned so much from your videos, definitely going to keep these things in mind for my new home! I’d love to see a video on cohesion in interior design! I’ve also recently learned about layering and choosing a 3 color palette, then using different tones of those colors in combination with neutrals to create cohesion in a space. Just some ideas for future videos!

Hey, Reynard. I love your channel and thank you for sharing your wonderful ideas. Question to ask you, if I may. What's your opinion on using 2 different hardwood flooring colors, say kitchen, living room area leading to bedrooms? Have you done a vid on hardwood flooring? Thank you.

@TheSushmaHomeSellingTeam 3 месяца назад

I think it's better to think about long lasting design instead of all the way trends. 😉😉

@zellalaing5439 3 месяца назад

I was always taught that sustainability was about making the least impact on the environment, so, if everyone mined real stone, eventually we'd run out of the natural resource so arguably, man made would be more sustainable in that sense?

@reynardlowell 3 месяца назад

Haha yes, I'm more referring to timber when I mentioned sourcing natural materials locally. Better to use local timber than one from across the globe. Real stone are definitely non-renewable, although stones that are sourced locally can be considered eco-friendly. The sustainability here is tricky, but if you consider longevity (century old Taj Mahal with marble still look new), and the fact that large slabs can be recycled into smaller pieces, and then when those get retired it can get reworked into even smaller pieces (decor like bookends, etc), and at the very end marble can be ground up and used in concrete - it should be sustainable? but then again the production process has a lot of waste, and worse, is the heavy shipping operation (hence the sourcing them locally aspect).

@msbebelle07 Месяц назад

When I did my kitchen I searched for already used countertops granite or marble that was selling by people who sell them because of demolitions or renovations…so at least it as a second life…I found what I wanted and the size that can fit with little adjustments…can you imagine if those stones would have gone to waste…

@savanah1407 3 месяца назад

Can I ask what color you would suggest for the walls and flooring in a narrow and dark 1,300 sq ft townhome in Florida? You see all the way to the back of the home when you walk in the front door so I’m thinking a very light greige for paint, and using the same paint all throughout the home to make it feel lighter and bigger? But not sure if each or some rooms should be painted subtly differently to differentiate the different rooms, dining room, kitchen & living room? I had electricians come install more recessed lighting but it gets zero natural light downstairs and feels small and not airy if that makes sense. I was thinking a grayish wood-laminate, again throughout but I hear that is/was a fad… I’m at a loss but my current wall colors (thanks to the previous owner) are hideous and it’s effecting my mental health to be honest. It does have high ceilings, again just So Dark without natural lighting.

@janeth.3283 3 месяца назад

I would use a warm white on all walls of the house. Also use large mirrors on the walls to help bounce a little more light around. Add plants as well and keep decor minimal and clear all clutter.

@YSLRD 3 месяца назад

Good advice, but if warm white doesn't suit your soul, a very pale blue gray would work well. Warm it up with some color in fabrics and accessories. Some people are uncomfortable with mirrors and any reflective surface helps ( shiny finish on a table, maybe some interior glass). And not gray floors- pale wood tones.

@HR-re6mr 3 месяца назад

Whatever color you decide I suggest you use it throughout. I have a fairly open concept townhome and it just is easier on the eye to not change the wall color and have it choppy and smaller looking

@MeanOldLady 3 месяца назад

Make sure you pay attention to what direction those windows face as well. Also some color schemes look really good up north (industrial, dark & autumnal colors) vs down south (light, airy, pastels, scandi, etc.). Most of the work is just poring over lots of photos similar to your space so you get a good feel of what will likely work.

@reynardlowell 3 месяца назад

Yeah it's always tricky and I don't want to really give advice without seeing it in person, but to make it easier, get a few sample of the paint but not just the swatches (they're printed with ink), get the peel and stick version or a4 swatches that are painted with real paint (or make one, just buy a sample paint and white foam core). Try them out at various time of day to see how it changes with the light. Paint them throughout (same colour) if you're unsure. If painting different, contrast is better (different colour) - if it's too subtle or similar, it might look like a mistake. As for grayish wood laminate, I'd advise against that unless that's a colour you personally like. If you're indifferent, then get a floor colour that is closer to natural wood colour, they will be much easier to work with.

I think that he got the manslaughter charge because of the 10 million lawsuit It is considered negligent homicide which is a manslaughter that is not intentional but led to a death I feel bad that this guy wanting to be right over a tree caused a horrible accident that led to his death Another consideration: hear me out here- how the heck do you get a palm tree into the middle of the street? It would be on the side of the street near curb or still on the property near end of property line The deceased could have put the tree in the street because it was previously overlooked and had conflict with the truck driver before or another person who has that route That could be why he had such a extreme reaction to actually go behind the truck in the first place If you have for example a HOA they will charge you each day that item is there He could have just called the trash company for bulk pick up he didn’t have to take it so far to try to be right

@Mcky-lw1zb 3 месяца назад

I love timeless, transitory, modern style decor. Checkered floors aren't timeless to me though. They're fads like wall paper rooms. Hard to find pieces for my style and put them all together.

The black and white checker board floor will be out of favor before the end of 2024.

@reynardlowell 3 месяца назад

I won't be surprised if it does, as I mentioned in the video, everything will eventually go in and out of style anyway, but that's not what matters.

@TriniMonstera 2 месяца назад

I used checkerboard tiles on porch floor because we had vinyl flooring in the same pattern while growing up. I chose it for nostalgic reasons. I plan to choose a green for the walls, with palms and rattan or other natural materials.

@finned958 3 месяца назад

The people who are chasing trends can afford to chase them. Most people use the materials available at the time. The only timeless design is midcentury modern. It’s timeless because it’s popular for most people. Their preference doesn’t make it obsolete.
