HERE IT IS GUYS! 💕 💥 It's a design style breakdown: CONTEMPORARY!! You guys have been requesting this video for WEEKS now and it's time to learn everything you need to know about ALL the sub categories of CONTEMPORARY DESIGN! 👏🏻 👏🏻 I hope you LOOOOVE this video as much as I loved making it! Let me know your FAVORITE contemporary design style in the comments below 👇🏻👇🏻! HEARTS AND KISSY FACES FOR YOU ALL!
Hi Lisa this is a way how going! Please Lisa , more ,more and more from dose videos . I feel like at Academy but with much fun. Thank you for teaching style and design. You are the best 🥰
So much great information, and I absolutely love how you show examples of what you're talking about! What I want to know is: where do we put or what do we do with the things we inherited from grandma that we love and DON'T WANT TO GET RID OF, but don't fit into our design style??? From smaller things like antique frames/pictures, lamps, to larger items like dressers, rocking chairs, end tables... I'm talking like Victorian (grandma) vs. Scandinavian/coastal cottage/MCM (me) here... Really, WHAT do you do with it? Keep it in a special room done just in antiques so you can still appreciate them? Put the smaller things in a modern container/piece of furniture... seems like it would look weird if they were visible... there MUST be other people out there dealing with this! Don't even get me started on my husband's taxidermy stuff... ugh... help! Edit: OK, I re-watched your Transitional style video and feel better about all this now... I think I'm more Transitional than I thought BECAUSE of my love of my grandma's things and wanting them to work with what I like too... simpler lines, not ornate nor busy, calm colors and natural wood tones. If I keep it restrained and follow your advice, I think I can maybe do this! I already know the main color I want to use throughout, which is that soothing blue/green and I've had grandma's swan rocking chair reupholstered with that color in it, unfortunately it's in a pattern, but, oh well... Thank you SO much for your videos Lisa... they have helped me clear up a lot of confusion I had going on! I feel like I'm on a good path now!
H!! I love the sound of that space - so fun!! 🤩 I'm so glad you enjoyed this weeks vid!!! I love learning about styles that aren't in my home - sometimes I feel like it's less stressful that way! 💜😂 Thanks for tuning in to this weeks deep dive - happy Friday!! 🥳💚
Aww Rio!!! There's nothing I love more than doing EXACTLY that!!! 🤩👏🏻💚 Thank you so much for leaving such a sweet comment and hope you had a fabulous weekend!!! 🥰💙
Yep, Art'n'Crafts & Mission design along with Frank Lloyd Wright and other major artists got it going strong. Whether woods or the other elements used in Bauhaus, the lines were gorgeous. Interestingly, the Pop Maximalism room you showed would not be impossible to live in with comfort and ease. Perhaps all the windows to the nature beyond kept it a full environment. There are also all those wonderful local shops that sell artisanal works by local artists or even artists from around the country or world who show up at even juried craft fairs and do lovely work that is not so costly because they are known in their field, but not at the Picasso level.
I love to hear the about the history of interior design, especially from the last 200 years. Is there a book/books you would recommend? So glad I found your channel. You’re so informative and your energy, passion, and knowledge are inspiring!
Aww Helen!!! I'm so glad!!! 🥰 You guys know how much of a history buff I am - this video was SUCH a blast to make!!! 🤓💜 Thank you so much for this sweet comment, and stay warm!!! 🥶💕
Awww Jenny, yay!!! 💕🥰 I'm SO glad this was useful...I have SUCH a blast putting these style deep dives together for you guys!!! 💜🌟 Hearing that you guys love these always just makes my day - thank you so much for tuning in!! 🤩💚
Christine!!! Have you seen my Transitional deep dive? 🤩 If you're looking to blend modern styler with some DELICIOUS traditional pieces, Transitional might be exactly your jam!!! 💙👏🏻 The video is called Why Everyone Gets This Interior Design Style Wrong - check it out and let me know what you think!!! 😘💚
Amazing video! How did I miss this last month. So cool seeing all of the contemp styles samples with their labels in the intro. Lisa do you ever take on jobs here in SW Florida? Lots of amazing new homes and tons of upcoming in Naples. I mean like (big$$) 🤗
Hey Lisa! Wanting to make a renovation in my house, your videos have really assisted me, to try new things. Keep it up! I wanted to ask you, since I have some pieces I don' t want to throw away, a dining table influenced by the ancient Greek period with dark marble Doric columns... In flooring - geometric tiles with white marble effect and a wall with stone cladding, how could I incorporate all those elements in a single cohesive design style?
OMG Cindy!! It's not QUITE an in person visit, but have you signed up for my new Dezign Club?? 👏🏻💜 We're going to have personalized style advice, as well as courses, blogs, and even quizzes!!! 🤩 If you aren't on the list yet, drop your email at www.lisaholt.com/thedezignclub and I'll send you ALL the info!!! See you there soon!! 😉🧡
OMG Michelle!!! 💕 This is so kind - I think I might have a little bit too much energy to be a professor!! 😂🧡 I'd have to cut down on the coffee a bit!!! 😆 I'm SO glad you're enjoying these little history segments...I could talk about history for hours!! 🤓 Thank you SO much for making my day with this sweet comment, and thank you for supporting my channel!!! It means so much to me!! 🥰💜
Studying bauhaus for art history class. Its crazy how much it really changed our world, from graphic designing to art to product design and architecture.
Daniela!!! You're so right - sometimes it's really hard to conceptualize what one design movement can do to move the aesthetics of the time forward!!! 💙👏🏻 Super interesting!!! 🤩 Loving the sound of this class...somebody sign me up!!!! 😆💜
Even fashion. The technology they created to make fabrics was also revolutionary. The history of the school and the teachers and students is also very fascinating.
Love this lesson. I wish you would showcase regular people homes though. I'm not sure the gazillionaires who live in these spaces actually watch RU-vid design lessons. It would be helpful to see how to pull off these looks without the 20 foot stone fireplace in my 200 sq foot living-room, that over looks - nope, not the ocean or the mountains, but the unkept house across the street.
Aww Betty!!! This means so much to hear!!! 💚🥰 I love making these videos and bringing a little design fun to your day!!! Plus getting to chat with you guys in the comments always makes my night!!! 💕 Thank you for this super sweet comment - you guys really are the best!!! 😘🧡
@@barbb7826 Hi Barb. I believe History is a big topic that Designers have to take in school. They have to know every era! There is a lot to learn to become a top notch Designer like Lisa! Take care and stay well! Susan from Canada 👍🌺⭐️
Lisa I love this video thank you for so much for teaching more about contemporary luxe and design. Someday would you please do interior design about the elephant in the room… The TV. 🤦♀️🤦♀️
OMG Anna!!! The dreaded TV...I covered that in a Q&A a little while ago actually!! 😁 The video is called Top 10 Interior Design Questions - definitely check it out!! 💚 There are absolutely ways to get creative and disguise that pesky TV...hope that helps!! 😘💜
OMG Leslie!!! Mid Century is totally on my list - such a popular style (and for good reason)!!!! 👏🏻💜 If you're a big MCM fan, definitely get on the list for my new Dezign Club!! 😉 We're going to be diving DEEP into MCM (and more!) with quizzes, live events, and even design COURSES!! 🤩💙 You're not going to want to miss it - drop your email at www.lisaholt.com/thedezignclub to get on the list!!!! 😘
Aww T!!! Me too - design history is one of those topics I could talk about FOREVER!! 🤩 You guys are lucky my editor cuts me off! 💚😂 Thank you so much for joining me on this deep dive, and hope you're having a fabulous week so far!! 😘💕
OMG same here - and I feel like nobody covers it!! 🤣💜 SUCH an interesting history, not to mention a delicious look! 💚🤩 So glad I could chat a little about your fav, and happy Friday!! 🥂💕
This comprehensive video says to me that there is a little contemporary in all of us-one huge tent of a category with something appealing to most people. As we grow older people seem to either entrench in the style they chose when first setting up a home **OR** they embrace the simpler, more edited contemporary style. I love your explanations Lisa and the pictures you choose to illustrate your narrative. I know I can always count on learning something new every Friday!
Katrina!!! You're absolutely right - I think everybody has a little bit of all sorts of different styles in them!! 🥰💜 I love hearing you're learning from these vids - you guys know how much I love sharing these tasty morsels of design knowledge!! 😂💚 Thank you so much for being the absolute sweetest, and happy Friday!! 🥂😘
Wow! You pack so much information into your videos and organize that info in such a way to make it easy to understand and how to apply that knowledge to achieve the look we are after. So well done! Thank you!!!
OMG Cindy this is the best compliment!!! 🥰💜 I'm always thinking about how to make these videos useful for you guys when you're planning your projects!!! That's exactly why I started the channel!!! 👏🏻💙 Thank you so much for making my day with this sweet comment, and hope you're enjoying your Friday night!!! 💥🥂
Wow I never thought I was contemporary. I just thought I was classic and vintage. My bedroom is mid century modern for sure. My kitchen is dark and moody mid century and southwestern mix and my livingroom ,which is my library and music room, is turning out to be contemporary as well. Might as well call my bathroom contemporary too! I thought contemporary was a tacky futuristic style that wouldnt last a season or two. 🤷♂️
LOL M!!! Who knew there was SO much covered in the Contemporary super-style, right?? 😂💕 I'm so glad I could break this fabulous look down a little and help you find a new name for your styles!!! 💙 Thank you so so much for tuning in for some design goodness on your Friday afternoon, and thanks for being a part of the channel fam!!! 😘🧡
M!!! I love hearing this - talking about design history is SO much fun for me!! 🌟 Can you tell I'm a little bit of a history buff?? 🧡🤓 I'm always glad to hear that you guys aren't bored!! 😂 Thanks for leaving such a sweet comment, and thanks for tuning in!!! 🥰
Ooooh Deborah!! Now that is some DELICIOUS Contemporary wisdom! 👏🏻😂 Sounds like your mother has fabulous taste!! 🥰 Thank you so much for sharing her tip with all of us, and thanks for watching!! 😘💙
You’re the best! Thank you for the full historical references points... fabulous information and my BRNO chairs feel like they have more gravitas because of your nod of approval. ✌🏼 see ya next week.
YOU’RE the best Cade!! 🙌 I love to talk about the history behind these styles, can you tell?!?! 🤓 The BRNO chairs were definitely ahead of it’s time, but SO MUCH FUN to work with!! 🤩 See you this Friday!! 💛💛
OMG Helena I've been wanting to cover Contemporary style for SO long!!! 😂💕 Just had to make sure I was doing it justice for you guys!! 👍🏻 Couldn't leave out any of those DELICIOUS Contemporary details!!! 🤩 Thank you so much for tuning in every week and begin here so early!!!! 😘💜
Fun fact, something I figured out. Why HAL? What kind of name is that? I’ll tell you. Substitute the next letter of the alphabet for all three letters, and what do you get?
Hi Lisa! Thanks for the amazing video. We just bought a house and want to set it up in a contemporary style and your video helped so much. But could you make a video on how to mix cool and warm tones to make a contemporary home feel more cozy?
Priyanka!!!! I am SO glad this was helpful - sometimes the hardest part of the project is finding a good jumping off point!! 💕😂 I love this idea of mixing in warm colors - in fact, allllll the palettes are warming up this year!!! 🧡🌟 I'll totally add it to my list!! 🥰💙 Thanks for the suggestion, and hope your week is off to a fabulous start! 😘
OMG Jeanine!! Congrats on getting through it - sometimes those big projects can be REALLY intense!! 💜👏🏻 Good for you for plowing through!! 👍🏻💚 I'm SO glad I could bring you a little fun while you were working!! Thank you so much for this super sweet comment, and hope you're having a relaxing weekend!! 🥰💙
Linda!!! 💙 A lot of people love Contemporary style for exactly that reason - those clutter free zones are super relaxing!!! 🧡😉 Thank you so much for this sweet comment, and thanks for joining me on another style deep dive!!! 😘🌟
Deborah!!! I am SO glad!! 🥰 You guys know I love my design history!! 😂💜 Thanks for joining me on this deep dive into our LAST super-style category!! So exciting!!! 🤩 Hope you're having a fabulous Saturday night, and thank you for this sweet comment!! 🥂💕

Oh sure, now your making me think... 😄. I never knew Arts & Crafts/Mission & Industrial would both be considered Contemporary. Cool. Yes, mind blowing. There are parts of both of these styles that I really love. The rich woods of the A & C & the clean lines of the Industrial. What happens if you don't know what your style is?
Hi Kristin!!! 🥰 Isn't it interesting how a deep dive into a design style can unearth SO many unique features of a style?!? If you don't know your style, make sure to join my DezignClub, launching late spring!! You'll be able to explore your interior design style in depth!!! Sign up at my website, lisaholt.com!! 🤩🤩
OMG Mjo!!! So many of you guys saw that Rustic Contemporary and realized it was EXACTLY your style!!! 🤩💜 Who knew!! I'm so glad all of you guys found a name for it - talk about a groooovy style!! 💚👏🏻 Thank you so much for watching, and enjoy all of that rustic goodness!! 😍🌟
Maggie!!!! I'm SO glad I could finally cover your favorite style!!! 💜👏🏻 Saving the best for last!!! 😆🧡 Thank you so so much for this sweet comment - isn't my editor the best?? 🥰 I SO appreciate you tuning in and spending a bit of your Friday taking this deep dive with me!!! 🤩
Totally Stacy!! 😁 Definitely a super relaxing style to live in!! 👏🏻💜 So glad I could share some good info with you this week - thank you so much for watching!! 😘💙
I So appreciate your videos! My style isn’t contemporary, but I just added a (knock-off) Eames style chair to my den next to a teal velvet sofa and I love the pairing. Would love to see a video on mixing patterns. I just acquired a set of vintage barkcloth drapery panels and I’m in love with them but I’m intimidated to mix with other prints and patterns. Thanks in advance for more videos.
Ooooh A!!! What a find - talk about a super dupe!! 💜👏🏻 We've got a video on finding even MORE of those fabulous dupes coming out in a couple of weeks.... DEFINITELY stay tuned!! 🧡😉 I would love to do a video all about patterns - I think you're right! A lot of people are intimidated!!! I'll definitely put it on my list!! 👍🏻 Thanks for this fabulous suggestion, and thank you so much for watching!!! 🥰
It took me awhile to not do pattern overkill, but I feel like there is still so much I have to learn about working with patterns. Will definitely look forward to that video. 🛑🔴🔵⚪⚫ ⬜⬛◼◾ 🔶️🔷️ 🔸️🔹️ 🔺️🔻 ♦️
Soooo Fantastic!!! thank you so much for identifying the artist! I loved it, but there was no credit on the picture!!! YAY! so gorgeous in the space as well! ;):)
Yay!! 👏🏼👏🏼 SO glad I can pass along some GROOVY design tips to you!! I just LOVE making these videos, it makes me so happy that you guys are digging them!!! 🙈❤️ Thank you so much for this sweet comment, it truly makes me so so happy to read comments like these!!! 🥰🥰🌟💖
Crazy off the charts maximalism contemporary is the closest to my style. But I don’t like all the fuss. Maybe I’m a maximalist/minimalist? I love colour and fun and the way it embraces you but I don’t like clutter and dust collecting nonsense. I like the reflection of nature, which isn’t just green, brown and blue. Nature is full of pattern and colour. One of my favourite decor books (I love so many, if you haven’t checked out Lisa’s books you need to) is Jay Jeffers’ book Be Bold. There’s a room there where a wall is painted like a watercolour. It has blues and greens painted around the smaller windows. I love that. I find cream, white, grey so overdone and bland. I like my rooms like I like my food, flavourful. Colour can be so comforting but people are afraid to use it. They’ve stopped playing with light but rather feeling like they have to turn every room into maximum white light. There’s nothing I find relaxing about that. I love deep emeralds, rich blues, welcoming yellows, stunning apricots and soft pinks and purples. I don’t think they’re loud, I think they are friendly, wholesome and embracing. No matter what you like, embrace it. It’s your space. I’m glad we have Lisa and her crew to guide us. 😊😁👍
Awww Squally!!! This is such a beautiful comment - so well said!!!! 💕👏🏻 I always LOVE hearing about your style because you just know yourself so well - you really know what looks work for you!! 🤩 One of THE most important part of good design!!! 💚 Thank you for sharing your wisdom with all of us, and thanks for being the greatest!!! 💜😘
Love it! Thank you for all your time in researching these things for us. I'm on a few decor groups and I'm always recommending you. Your knowledge is boundless...and I love your delivery! Thanks Lisa!
Aww Cea, thank you!!! I'm always so excited to introduce NEW people to our fabulous youtube fam!! 🤩 The more the merrier!!!!! 😆💚 If you're looking for ANOTHER fabulous design group, definitely make sure you're on the list for my new Dezign Club!!! 👏🏻 It's going to be a SUPER exciting community of design lovers, plus tons of quizzes, blogs, and even courses, all about design and style!! If you're not on the list, shoot me your email at www.lisaholt.com/thedezignclub - I'll send you the details!! 😉💕
RU-vid has way too many self-proclaimed interior designers who think walking the aisles of HomeGoods makes them a professional. So it's so refreshing to hear from an experienced and learned design professional.
LOL Josephine!!! 😂 I LOVE doing these super deep dives with all of you guys - getting into the details that make these styles GREAT is just so much fun!!! 🤩 If you're looking for more in-depth design talk, make sure you're on the list for my new Club!! 💜😉 We're going to have blog posts, quizzes, courses, and even personalized design help - it's going to be THE place to learn and connect with other design lovers!!! 💕 If you're not quite signed up yet, just shoot your email to me at www.lisaholt.com/thedezignclub!! I'll make sure you're on our launch list!!! 👏🏻💚
New to your channel so happy I've found this. I've been making so many purchases that don't gel with other things at my new address, this is going to be so helpful to guide me I love your presentation because you certainly know your stuff. I will watch this over and over while I'm refining my space starting a big edit tomorrow!!
Suzan, Welcome!! I"m so glad I can help, and soooo glad you've joined! If you've got a project coming up, be sure to get on the email list at ilisaholt.com for the Club. SOOOO much more info will be there for specifics you'll need! :)
I love them all. That is the problem. When I start a room I need to focus on where it's going or I get lost in how pretty everything is and just stop mid project. :/
LOL Kim I totally get that - sometimes you definitely need too take a step back!! 💜😆 If you're looking for help following through with your projects, definitely get signed up for my new Dezign Club!! 🤩 It's going to be a FABULOUS community of design lovers - we can all cheer each other on!! 😂 Just drop your email at www.lisaholt.com/thedezignclub and I'll make sure you're on the list for the launch email!!! 😘🧡
Lisa's head and shoulders above most of the interior designers on YT. Don't get me wrong, I do love the enthusiasm of some of the younger folks pushing certain styles. But you really can't replicate this depth of knowledge and wisdom that comes from years of real world practice and experience.
OMG!!!! Thank you for talking about the art movements!!! I feel seen!! My bedroom is a mixture of art nouveau and craftsman/arts and crafts. It was the perfect compromise for my husband and I! I get my overtly feminine Alfonse Mucha-esque pieces (my obsession) and he gets his more masculine craftsman style woodwork (his obsession) and I know you said that as style movements they were in opposition of each other, but when they occupy the same space, the juxtaposition actually looks sooooo freaking good and also is symbolic of our marriage making it the perfect theme for our bedroom! I'm obsessed!!!!!!
OMG Callie!! This is SO cool...of course those two styles compliment each other perfectly!! 🤯 Why hadn't I thought of that!! 💜😂 What a fabulous approach with such beautiful symbolism...I LOVE this!! 👏🏻👏🏻💙
OMG Emily - hi again!!!! Me too! 😂 I'm such a design history buff!! 💜👏🏻 Thanks for tuning in on youtube AND chatting on Instagram - hope you're enjoying the last bit of your weekend!! 😘💚
Hi Lisa. Look forward to your videos I saw your video on transitional style and to the best of my recollection ART DECO was a sub category of that along with glam and scandi. But now I watch this new video and it’s under contemporary ?? No matter - I love it Help me DECOrate More on this style if you can Thanks !! Love your enthusiasm -/ hypercaffeination As an ER nurse you’ve got me beat - - ❤️☕️
LOL G! Loving that little pun action! 👏🏻💚 If you're looking for more contemporary goodness, definitely get on the list for my Dezign Club! 🏡🌟 We're going to do tons of quizzes, blog posts and MORE on all sorts of topics - Contemporary Style will definitely be making an appearance!! 🤩 Just drop that email at www.lisaholt.com/thedezignclub and I'll send you alllll the details for our launch in the spring!!!! 😉💜
LOL Donna!!! Nothing TOO obscure - I've been getting all of my frames from Warby Parker these days!! 💕👍🏻 They've got some FABULOUS styles on their website right now, and I can't resist a good pair of glasses!! 😆 Someone stop me before I buy more!! 😂💚
Thank you for the history lesson. PLEASE do a video on how integrate Maximalism/eclectic. I have an old Tudor home but don’t want to live in a museum. Tudor architecture + an Eames lounge chair, lots of art, velvet chesterfield sofa. Can it be done?!?
Patricia!! It can TOTALLY be done - I'm actually covering this exact topic on the Dezign Club I'm launching in the summer!! 🤩🤩 It's going to be THE place for deep dives into all SORTS of design topics - I can't WAIT to share it with you guys!! 🧡🧡 Definitely get on the list at www.lisaholt.com/thedezignclub - I'll send you ALL the info for our launch!! 🥰💚
Yay Sian!!! 🌟🌟 Contemporary is such a HUGE topic - I did my best to cram as much info into this video as possible!! 🧡😂 SO glad I could pass on a few of my favorite tips, and thank you SO much for tuning in!!! 😘💚
You are a wonderful teacher! I learned so much in this video. I love how you give real time inspiration but give us historical background to help understand the WHYs of what things go together or don’t. And..the energy in your voice is so encouraging. You make design feel accessible.
Peggy!!! THIS is why I LOVE doing what I love!!! 🥰 I love making design FUN for you guys while educating about the history behind it!!! 🤗🧡 Thank you so much for this sweet comment - you guys are the sweetest EVERRR!!! 💕🌟😘
Thank you for this fabulous video. Love the history tidbits. Your advice really helps, allowing me a starting point. I’m about to move into a new home and for the first time since my very first home I have carte blanche on the main living space. Where to start?! Now I can’t wait🇨🇦
Ooooh Esther!! Nothing more exciting than starting a brand new project from scratch!!! 👏🏻💜 So glad I could help you find a place to start digging in - sending you allllll of the good luck with your move!!! 🥰🌟
Hi Lisa! I love that you tied together the movements that brought about the Contemporary Design aesthetic. The era/styles and how they flow together is just so fascinating!!! You are just so GOOD!!!!! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
OMG Kirsten I am SO glad you loved this one!!! 🥰 Contemporary has SUCH a cool history...I was so excited to finally get to talk about it with you guys!! 😂💜 You guys make my DAY with these super sweet comments - thank you SO much for watching!!! 💚😘

This is my second or third time watching this video. Such a detailed history lesson. And so entertaining too! Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge 💖
I love Lisa's content. I appreciate that she uses specific design language/technical terms to define what we are looking at. I watch her at least twice (and at normal speed!). So much detailed information. Thanks!
OMG K!! 💚 I love hearing that you're learning from these videos!! 👏🏻💜 I never dumb things down for you guys - I know you can handle the REAL details of all of these fabulous styles!!! 🤩Thank you so much for this sweet comment, and hope you're having a fabulous Saturday night!! 🥰🥂
OMG that is EXACTLY what I love to hear!!! 💕🌟 I LOVE sharing these tips and tricks with you guys...that's exactly why I made this channel in the first place!! 💜💜 Thank you SO much for this SUPER sweet comment - I am SO glad I could help!!! 💚🥰
The Bauhaus design is still so relevant and cool, and I don't even like the chrome metal frames. When you mentioned contemporary i immediately thought japandi: I love mixing the utilitarian and almost futuristic simple shapes typical for Bauhaus and mid century with natural materials, organic or hand made textures all in light neutral colors contrasted with dark accents
Totally Leo!! Japandi is a FABULOUS contemporary style - you have great taste!! 👍🏻🌟 I'd love to cover that style someday...my list just keeps getting longer!! 😂💜 Thank you so much for joining me for this style deep dive, and hope you're enjoying your weekend so far!! 🥰🥳
Mind blown - contemporary pieces are just as timeless as traditional ones 🤯 I love sharing your content with others around me. It’s an educational entertaining guide to all things in design 💖💖
Exactly Deft!!! 🤩 Who knew that Contemporary Design had such a rich history, right?? 👏🏻💜 Thank you SO much for being such a fabulous part of this channel for so long - thank you so much for sharing and for tuning in every week!!! 🥰💕
I know I say this every week but I think this really is my favorite video to date! Love the info on history and the easy to follow tips. Thanks Lisa ❤️
Aww Carolina!!! 🧡 I'm SO glad you loved this one!!! 🥰 A Contemporary deep dive has been a LONG time coming...had to make sure I could take this super-style series out with a bang!!! 💥😂 Thank you so much for always leaving me just the sweetest comments, and hope your week is off to a fabulous start!! 😘💜
I love your E N E R GY! ⭐⭐⭐⭐ So entertaining! I would LOVE to see how to make eclectic/pop art design work in a small space without creating too much clutter and still be able to "live" in the space. 😘😘😘
YAY been waiting for this!!! Very very helpful!! I’ve been getting away from patterns and prints and acquiring large art pieces for a while. It’s so helpful to have you summarize the main design principles. I have more to edit !!😄. I’ve loved contemporary since childhood when I started out being wowed by Frank Lloyd Wright and his prairie and Usonian homes. Now I love just clean minimal-ish style. With some color.
Anita!! I'm so glad I could break some of this DELICIOUS super style down for you!! 🤩💥 Contemporary is a BIG topic, and I'm so glad I could make it a little less overwhelming!! 💙🥰 Loving your style progression - thank you so much for sharing, and happy editing!! 😉💜
Great video Lisa! We're about to put our 1967 MCM on the market and we've learned a lot about contemporary style after living this house. When we bought it in 1997 the standout feature in the living room was - and still is - a floor to ceiling raised hearth stone fireplace right in the middle of the 15 x 30 foot room. On one side we have the TV watching side with a big sectional (and yes the screen *is not* over the fireplace!!). And the other side is the cocktails & conversation side of the living room with four MCM wooden arm chairs with loose cushions floating around a coffee table. One thing we learned over the years with contemporary is that if possible floating furniture in room - even just a few inches to avoid pushing everything up against a wall - is also consistent with this style.
Phyllis!! Great point!! I'm loving this take on MCM!! 🤩💚 That stone fireplace is SUCH a fabulous center piece - and good job keeping that TV far, far away!!! 💙😂 Thank you so so much for sharing your delicious space with us, and good luck with your move!!! 🥰
C!! I love that - definitely check out my Transitional video as well if you haven't already!! 💕👍🏻 So glad I could help you find a name for your favorite look - thank you so much for joining me on this deep dive! 💙🤩
Liz!! I LOVE design history - isn't it interesting?? 💚👏🏻 The design we have today has been forming and morphing for SO many years...amazing!!!! 💜🤩 So glad I could cover your favorite style this week - thank you SO much for watching!!! 😘💙
I thought Contemporary was what was current now (current style). So that being said for example Contemporary was different in the 90s than what Contemporary is now. Look up the definition and it might explain it a bit more.
Joyce!! You have NO idea how much I LOVE to hear this!! 🤩👏🏻 I'm ALWAYS trying to make you guys' lives easier when it comes to design...that's exactly why I made this channel! 💜🌟 Thank you SO much for making my day with this super sweet comment...it really does mean the world to me!! 💚🥰
Awww Chantelle!! 💙🥰 I do my BEST to make sure you guys get all the background you need to REALLY get these topics!! I think knowing the history of these concepts is SO important...plus they're super interesting!! 🤩👏🏻 LOVE hearing that you guys are finding these videos helpful...thank you so much for the kind words!! 💚👏🏻
Rachel!!! YAY I am so glad you are digging the videos and taking alll the notes you can!!! 🤓👏🏼💜 Thank you soo much for supporting the channel and always commenting on the vids!!! I LOVE hearing what you have to say!!! 🥰💖💖
Awww Jason, thank you!!! 🥰 I love getting you guys up and moving towards crushing those home goals!!! 👏🏻💥Thank you so much for tuning in for another style deep dive, and hope you're having a fabulous Saturday night!! 🥳💕
