In this video, I'm talking about how colour is coming back into interior design in a big way! The fact that IKEA manufactures so many colourful products signals its desire to appeal to Gen Z and the younger market overall. Let me know your thoughts in the comments section! How do you feel about this much colour? Are there any standouts from the collections?

the Tessamans collection is a collaboration with the Dutch-based design studio Raw Collor. Here in Europe, I can see a group of color lovers, that are definitively not Gen Z. But arty people inspired by the Bauhaus who love bold & bright colors. (mostly primary colors but pastels are a hit too!) Anyway, the collection sold out so quickly in Amsterdam that I haven't had time to have a look at it. Finally time for some colors, yeah!

I am also an older Gen-X. The house we bought in 1999 came with avocado green kitchen counters. They’re still here.

My mother had a 1950’s style pink kitchen the whole time I lived at home, and my grandparents’ house remained firmly in the 1950’s, so I didn’t live with it to now hate it. Mom did have some harvest gold small appliances, so there’s my issue with that color. lol

I wish I could take a pic and post it here. My Gen Z son loves the 70’s look. Like psychedelic 70’s. Orange, yellow, green & brown. Including an alcove with swirling trippy mod wallpaper. Yes they do love it. But as a Gen X I do love it too, for him, in his room.

Convince your son to watch the original Mobile Suit Gundam anime from 1979, it has lots of psychedelic imagery as a consequence of being made in the 70's.

Trends are driven by money remember. People will buy these and hate them soon when the next trend arrives. I am 50 and remember when IKEA arrived in the UK I loved it! . My house has been through several interior design incarnations and I have had fun doing many trends and regretted it - I did Laura Ashley once ha. I like different looks from English Cottage Eclectic to Japanese Minimalism. However what I can live with and suits my lifestyle is altogether different. I have settled on quality classic design pieces which I love and are timeless, a white wall and neutral accent colours. A bit like your place. find them peaceful and I feel at home finally with my design taste. Love the channel

The avocado green was the only home decor color I actually liked from the late 70's. I can't stand anything burnt orange to this day though.

@jrochest4642 Месяц назад

I have avocado green 1970s Mikasa dinnerware (Duplex by Ben Seibel) and it is the best thing ever. I loved Ikea's bold Marimekko like patterns for duvet covers in the 80s -- if they bring those back I'll be thrilled.

@sissymarie2912 Месяц назад

I love harvest gold and burnt orange, but I grew up with them in my parents old house. All the common rooms were really light and airy so it felt very warm and inviting. They also had a lot of contemporary/modernist furniture so it didn't feel all closed in like some other spaces with those colors did at the time. Then the 90's happened and my mom went all in on country blue, golden oak and geese when we moved out of the city.

I was a teenager in the 70’s and this certainly was a trip down memory lane. My sister’s room was bright green and “highlighter” yellow. Glossy vinyl wallpaper with large yellow green and white flowers and white dresser with yellow drawer fronts. My room was bright pink and white with a turquoise carpet and mirrors shaped like flowers. 😂 Now over 60, and yes, I need higher straight back chairs or I’m not leaving ❤

The 70s are in again because it reminds us of our grandparents' houses, and since adulting fucking sucks we really just want grandma to bake us cookies and give us a hug again. But she's been gone for 20 years, so we just buy some table or whatever.

That triple cone shade lamp design is from the popular mid-century garden lamp. Any basic geometry shapes like used in the art of Bauhaus has a classic feel that really never goes out of style.... which i think Ikea uses in their design DNA for revolving products.

@uteberg4781 Месяц назад

I'm so completely of your opinion concerning everything!! Especially the rug, the colors and absolutely about the point concerning "form follows function"! A metal chair just for looking cool isn't of much sense (not mentioning the grids on the butt after sitting on it)! I also LOVE metal as material, the plastic overload is absolutely crazy these days, especially as most plastic objects don't have the stylish format of a Verner Panton-product. But: How great that colour is back! A little less of grey, black, monochromatic soup will cheer me up! 😀🤗🌻💖

I got a bit of a chuckle out of this vlog, I lived through all of those decades and all I can say is ewww. I did buy an actual teak veneer table and chairs from IKEA in 1973, that was a very nice piece. That orange colour always reminds me of the orange shag rugs of the era and a friend actually put it up the wall in his bathroom. I did get a laugh out of the April fools vlog that mentioned that. When you live in an old farm house with many critters, two mechanics and not much money, comfort and practical is the trend.

@kepckatherinec805 Месяц назад

Back in 1965 I baby sat for a family of three rambunctious boys. One evening (while the boys were arm wrestling in their mutual bathroom over which one could brush his teeth first), I needed a toilet trip of my own. I decided my only option was to use the master bathroom. To access that toilet area, I had to walk through the master bedroom, which I hadn’t yet seen. The wall to wall carpet in the bedroom was a shag of long fibers, some turquoise blue, others chartreuse green. That color scheme and carpet type were not unusual for the era. What traumatized me was that this carpeting was not only wall to wall, it was ceiling to ceiling. The carpet covered the floor and ran up all four walls, ending at the intersections with the ceiling. I felt liked I’d been swallowed by a sea monster from a Peter Max poster. I decided that I didn’t want to see what decorating nightmare awaited in the master bathroom. I fled into the hallway and waited for my turn in the boys’ bathroom. Messy as it was, I felt much safer there.

@annbrookens945 Месяц назад

I am EXTREMELY disappointed to not get a description of that master bath! I knew of the trend to completely carpet every surface but have only seen it applied to panel vans, where it made some sense in case you bounced into the ceiling!
