MODERN LUX HOME : OUR TOP 7 INTERIOR Styling TIPS 

Personally I love a patterned rug because there's fun rhythm there, and you can pull colors from the rug into the art, then again I love color

Ok , here we go. It's all your FAULT!! Valentina. Yes you heard it right. Now I have to redo my entire home all because of you. Of course I am ever so thankful for your videos. 🙏For years I felt there was something wrong with me. Coming home from work was not the "homecoming" I looked for. I couldn't put my finger on it, but the whole apartment made me, dare I say it, yes depressed.! Old fashioned, out of touch. And then by a bolt of lightning there was you suddenly popping up on my computer and I don't know how fast I hit the subscribe ALL button and started binge watching all your fantastic beautiful videos. Your feel and knowledge for style is just something to envy. Style cannot be learned, you eighter have it or you don't and you definitely have it! If I had the money I would hire you in an instance, but for now I am totally happy with all your beautiful, very professional videos. The fact that you upload all the colors, products, clothing, jewelry you use in every videos is amazing. I am a 73 year young Dutch woman, living in Florida and you brought me back to life. I am going to overhaul my whole apartment , in fact I am already doing it. I am getting rid of the old and start living again in the now! BTW, you have a very handsome husband and above all he is so supportive. God should have made more of them. Love you guys❤❤❤

Oh my goodness that is the most beautiful perfect color palette I’ve ever seen I am absolutely in love 🤍🖤🤎🤍🖤🤎🤍🖤🤎🤍🖤🤎

This is 100% my style!! I have always LOVED black and white ever since I was in high school and I am 51! Until finding your channel and IG I had no idea how to transform my home using my love of black and white! I have been on a mission for the past 4 months and just within the past month since finding you! I have painted my entire downstairs...all rooms are white and our TV/fireplace wall is Cracked Pepper!! I am IN LOVE!! I have ordered some of your art recommendations for my wall, ordered the marble coffee table. I FINALLY am loving my home and I am going to keep on going. A new light and black ceiling fan have arrived and are ready to be installed in our kitchen and den! THANK YOU SO MUCH for sharing!! I am OBSESSED!!

Oh, I love that zebra rug!! Anything animal print and I'm IN!!😊💜💜💜

One of my favorites from you. Very informative, a good plan and structure to stay on point. Right down to the sophisticated music. Your delivery was educational which I appreciated. More please👏🏻👏🏻

Love this episode a lot. I am a designer and I am also struggling with defining a style for me. I can do anything for a client but when it come to me, it’s a struggle. Because I do love so many styles, and can do anything for others, what is that I like myself? This episode to me was as a conversation between colleagues. Thank you. We all grow when we learn from each other.

Your style is the best in the world.

This is not my personal style, but the video had so many great ideas to begin building my own home and personal style. I loved the idea of having key words to define the space you want when buying items for your home. So far my keywords would be: classic, timeless, updated oldworld, charm. Saving this video to refer back to. Thank you Valentina! 😘

Valentina, you are right about the "noise"--the trendy distractions. They look SO good in catalogs and stores, that a newbie can be sidelined by the latest colors and styles. Thinking about "classic" design is definitely a helpful strategy. Maybe this is one of your most useful videos. Especially for someone starting out. It is a "Classic" video :-) I would add that this style (when thinking about palette), can even take a bit more of a traditional flair and still have a timeless quality. The palette really is EVERYTHING, and then quality, texture and intention is next.

Hi V I would love to see videos on home decor for coffee tables, fireplace mantles, bookcases, kitchen counters, etc. Thanks and love your posts.

Personally, not a fan of black-and-white abstract art, but I learn so much from you and have curated my home based on a lot of your advice. Thank you!

Always good to stop and evaluate to see if what we’re actually doing is in line with where we want to end up!

Hi Valentina! I love your videos on what to do and really don't care for the videos on what not to do. I would love to see how to mix antiques with this style. Thanks!

Would love to see a video on the emotional aspect of decorating after living with a hoarder. It’s difficult to feel like you’re taking back your house after seeing it with boxes and junk everywhere when you weren’t allowed much space. I haven’t seen any videos online about the emotional side of things when decorating after difficult relationships. Love your videos!

Love this one. We are doing a remodel on a 1979 ranch house in Fla and you have inspired me so much on the direction I’m taking on the design. The whole house has pine walls we took some out to enlarge MB. Budget did not allow for all the walls to be removed but they match the vaulted ceiling in the family room with a massive full wall stone FP. I know I can take your ideas and make this feel like an organic modern ranch house. Hope to share pictures when done because with out your inspiration it would have looked so different. Thank you 🙏🏻💕 and told the husband none of our current furniture is going with us ( except the mattress)

Thanks again for another enlightening video. I’ve recently moved into a brand new home in GA and I’m now realizing I have some buyer’s remorse. I was over anxious to get everything decorated instead of getting the ‘feel’ of our new space. I’m going back to square one and as you said in another video recently, I will remove everything from the room and put back only what I love.

Please please post more affordable rugs and accessories ❤. I have started painting all the walls white now. It's a lot less distracting, and I can add anything thing to my room. Thank you!!!

I love this style. I have evolved to this and thus have gotten rid of most of my old furniture and decor. I love the video on the Modern Manor as well. A timeless, classic style is what I want my home to have.

Do you do other styles for your clients, for example Mulberry or Ralph Lauren inspired? Natural colors with fabulous patterns like tartan and paisley? Wonderful paintings and persian rugs. The old british style is classic timeless elegant style for me, and so warm and cozy. No offense, but I could not live in a black and white home. I live in Norway, and during winter we have enough of white and black! Its all about hygge! 💕For bedsheets and towels I agree with you. Preferably white, but not in my boys bedrooms and bathroom 😂

This has been such a great episode. Excellent. I loved it.

I Love this style! I tend to feel overwhelmed because I like many different looks and find it challenging to narrow down and focus.

One of the things I love about Rebecca Robeson is she teaches from her design projects. You are showing Pinterest pictures which are informative but it might be nice also to see some of your projects when explaining your point. ❤ love you VF

You are always fun to watch and I’m drawn to your enthusiasm! Classics are always a great choice. I do love aspects of this style. One drawback, for me, is I want to feel a sense of location and its climate and history. Most styles that are dubbed modern feel timeless in a un anchored way. Also the over abundance of white feels like glare to me. Our little struggle is we moved from a 1907 Craftsman house with many small rooms to a modern mid 90’s house with roughly the same square footage but larger rooms. We have many pieces that are smaller where the space might be better with a larger single piece. I’m loath to sell it all just for style. Maybe eventually. But it would be expensive.

Love modern with warmth

Omg yes! That has ALWAYS been my biggest challenge: that I love so many different styles equally, but if I’m being honest I do have a top favorite. And once I really committed to it in my brain, I was able to really start pulling my rooms together in a way that I love. So much psychology in design lol! 🙃🤪

My biggest challenge is compromising with my husband who I wish didn't care so much. He doesn't like change and loves blue in an obsessive way...LOL! Thank you for all the wonderful videos and inspiration.

This was a good video today. Lots of good information without giggling. Please keep this up. I love your style and information. Modern luxury is my vibe and I have done my condo based on the Joseph Durand

I’m drawn to this style, especially because it’s modern art related and without any visual “noise”, it’s very calming for me. Although I don’t have the budget to realize it fully I try to pick those elements I can afford and get my hands on here, in the United Kingdom…thank you Valentina!😊

Great tips! My struggles are grouping it's together. I follow the rule of 3's. Sometimes I feel the items just don't look good together. A video on that sould be greaf

Like your energy, always lots of positive vibes! Love that- watch you sometimes just to elevate my mood!

Such a better video. Telling us what we should be leaning towards instead of shaking finger using gray. And isn’t it interesting you had gray in your mood board! Valentina we love your style and we like hearing how you get there! Outstanding video. 🎉Art is such a personal thing and agree changes room. Thank you for this video.

Love it. Trying to create what I call Modern French Bistro in my new home. Currently working on bringing more modern into the style.

This is gold (and black lol) for anyone interested in interior design! Of all the videos I've watched of Valentina's, this one is the most helpful. Thank you, Valentina. Superb!

I love modern luxury. Thank you for helping me figure out what my design style is. It’s allowed me to really focus on what items I bring into my home. Love your channel.

I dont understand the luxury element of your style but I get the modern side.

Yes. Going fir this in my new house. Want to also add in wood elements. I would say I'm Warm Modern Luxury

Our biggest challenge is space. We want to accessorize more. But there’s not many places to put things. Especially because we don’t want it to look cluttered.

Loved the video! My style is very different, but I still felt this was relevant to me. The best idea I got is to be more intentional. I love how Valentina can be so fun and also have more serious moments to teach concepts as well as share what she has learned on her journey!

Thank you for your inspiration

Thank you for this most useful video; one of my favourites. You are so generous with your hints and advice. Many thanks.

I love this style! I’m so curious to know how you would incorporate this style into a newly build minimalistic/scandi apartment (I live in Denmark) as I think some parts of the style feel a bit too “glamorous” for a minimalistic apartment with lots of clean lines. I would love to see a video on that! 😍 Your tips are always sooo helpful! Love from Denmark ❤️

You may have painted the ceiling in your bedroom last year. I loved what you did. The Xmas tree and silver it was romantic for sure. I pretended your walls and ceiling were dark green. I loved my perspective, lolol.

V- Have you tried percale cotton sheets instead of sateen cotton weave? I've only heard you suggest sateen, so I thought I'd ask. In my experience, percale cotton weave is crisper and launders and wears much better. Sateen seems to pill more and turns softer, whereas percale stays a bit more like new and crisp (if that makes sense). If you don't have any percale sheets, just try a set and see. In terms of materials or style and pattern, I'm very monochromatic as you are as well. To add a bit of texture or pattern, I've been lusting after the burlwood patterns that have been around lately! A good piece made of a solid wood IS crazy expensive but timeless and gorgeous, IMO. And would work well in a room to add a little "something" to my default of blacks and ivory/cream palette.

This is the best of your vidios, thank you a lot❤

Yay I’m first kept reloading 😅 love ya Valentina can’t wait to watch

Valentina you don't know how much your videos have helped me create a home that I am loving anytime I am shopping I remember your advice and it has paid off tremendously 🤗

I absolutely loved this video ! Thank you V !! I started to put together a color palette for my new house to be next year. Very exciting !!

Excellent advice breaking down the materials. TY

I would like some suggestions on when the guest come to your home, where do they keep their purses? We have a dog who does not do bad for any belongings to others or us, but in general, people avoid putting things on the floor when they see dog. Do you all keep them on the couch or specific places are prepared? I don’t like people placing their purses on the table where we eat. I was raised that is rude things to do… Thanks V! Love your content as always!

I love your style! I love the color black and taupe and cream. I added green as my pop of color. I didn't know that I was doing Modern Lux. I always called my style Urban chic because I live in the city. Thanks for helping all of us

I have been decorating with black and white since 2006 when I bought my first home. I love the mood these colors create as the base of my home.

I love V style, so much character! I’d like to see some videos on the emotional side of changing up the home after divorce. Homes with bad memories really need changing up if you can’t sell straight away. Also using landscape and architectural photographic prints with modern luxury, and lighting options for lower/standard height ceilings.

Modern Lux -- Yes!! I never knew there was a name for this style except maybe "Chanel-esque". This is my absolute favorite style and color pallete. Yes! Thank you for this video Valentina. Another great one with the lovely items in the show notes. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

I love those warm earthy colors! I did a black accent wall in my bedroom on yesterday. You’re such an inspiration and now I can’t wait to decorate

Perfect delivery Valentina! The best you have ever done! Bravo 🫶🏻

I love MODERN COTTAGE 🥰. Please more of this style. 😘

Though my preferred style & palette is more eclectic than yours & though I have at times been critical of the expressed hyper- exuberance for "retail therapy" I have nevertheless retained a few recommendations that I continue to value. Top of mind, is the Camel Hair Comforter of a few years ago which offers light weight warmth without the frustrating shifting fill of my previous down comforter.

Love this style!!! ❤ My biggest struggles are what size and where to place art on the walls. Also how to choose the right lighting and where to place it

Excellent Episode, V ☺️

Personally, I am much more of a traditionalist and have really embraced the "maximalist" side of me, but I have really enjoyed your videos over the years and feel as if I have learned to be much more intentional in my design because of you. Thank you!

I really love your style and love your videos. Can you please make a video on how to design a modern tv wall for a high ceiling living room? This’s a biggest challenge for me.

Would you please make a video on mid-century modern lighting like PH5, Arco, Panthella, Nesso and their modern equivalents? Thanks!

I love this style. I just hired someone to install 4 ceiling lights. I like to be minimal so I really count on my lighting to have some personity. My struggle with this style is striking the balance of clean and minimal but not plain and boring. I love decor but too much can be seem cluttered to me. My other dilemna is lighting. I am allergic to dust so I stay away from lamp shades and floor lamps.

Love this video. Thank you for sharing

Very Nice!! Thank You!! Love it!!🤩💜

So, I love everything but I still like silver more than gold. What are your thoughts about that?

I finally found my style thanks to you. 🎉

So many amazing style’s, hard to choose

Thank you so much for the key words Valentina. It'll make life so much better when buying things for my place. the only problem is We have asthmatics in the house & the drs have said no carpets or rugs. What can I do instead to bring the look all together please?

I was a minimalist my entire adult life. I discovered antique stores last year. I strictly adhered to my color palette and the collection is amazing🤍 Thank you for saving me from signs telling my family what to do🤭

Hei Valentina! I like soo much you being honest about making your choises and stick to them. There is sooo much out there and so easy to go cracy and buy too much. When Im concious and know what I want (for the long run) its easier to walk away from temptations. Thank you again Valentina for a great video. Regards from rainy Oslo. 😍

I love the modern luxe style. I’m in rehab right now from the glam, blingy, rhinestone, glitter, etc 😳😳 🤣🤣. Your channel has really helped. I hear your voice when I’m shopping saying. ‘Oh no, don’t do it” lol. I want a modern, cozy, luxe/glam style that is also inviting. This has been extremely challenging for multiple reasons. The main reason being. It has to be apartment friendly. I do plan to eventually purchase a home. But in the mean time I still want to come home and be happy. I’ve completely changed my style over the year because it wasn’t bringing me peace. I’ve been making a lot of purchases lately (I’m pretty much replacing everything) and it’s overwhelming to stay forced on my style, stay within my budget and try to keep it minimalist (kinda, I know smh) I’ve been binge watching your content. However, I really don’t see you touching on renter friendly options. I know about most of the renter friendly options like wireless lighting, diy art, vinyl over carpet, wallpaper, etc. But with the limitations of a rental and the small space. The creativity has to be on another level. Help please 😳😳😳 Btw, I purchased a light gray sectional. I know how you feel about that. But I love it, it’s very high quality and modern, cozy, etc. I’m not going to do the gray on gray. I promise lol-

Great great great great GREAT program! Really love your style and everything

Love, modern luxe that is my style

I love this style and have been a neutral-ist since married in ‘75! I’ll never switch

This was great. My style is more towards Modern Organic. But, so many similarities and a lot of advice I can still follow.

Hi V!!!! Can you please, please, pretty please do a styling tips for those of us who have a Transitional style? Love you lots ❤❤❤

I like Valentina's channel and think she has such a positive attitude. That being said, I really like that she focused this video, got right to the point and shared knowledge. I mean this kindly (so pls limit the hate) but sometimes I skip over her videos because they are so long and wordy and it feels like they unnecessarily drag. I want the knowledge and care to hear her thoughts just sometimes dont have time for all the chatter. Just my two cents.

Hi Valentina, love your ideas here. Just wondering if you can do an episode that we can send pictures of our house and how can we better them in different style details. It would be awesome. Thanks V.

If you could do a video on how to accessorize a small powder room in the modern lux style. I’m struggling so much. I painted the walls in one of the color white from your palette. My vanity is dark wood. I’m struggling with pictures, accessories on the shelf behind the toilet.

This was a very good video. I felt like you were breaking it down in manageable pieces. Anybody who is unsure about how to find the right style for their home can just review your examples point by point.

I love this style. I struggle with deciding right dining table for my space and parting with items that don’t fit this style.

Could you do one of these for Modern Cottage and Rustic Luxury. There isn’t a lot of information out there on those?😊

I love this style but I would like to see how to blend in vintage

This is the best video I have ever seen on this style, my most difficult area is lighting, for some reason lighting in this style looks cheap to me. Looking forward to more videos on this topic.

One of your very best videos V - thank you

Hello Valentina. Amazing Video, amazing photos! I would like, very much to know a little bit about the sofas that we can see at minute 6:23. They are absolutely gorgeous!!! Thank you in advance!! Best regards Cristina

I like this style a lot - I was always surprised when I came across your channel that you had recommended many of the things I had just purchased - I trend more towards Organic Modern/Japandi - but there is significant crossover. I use a lot less black, but I DO use it - but I use more pops of color strategically, and a lot more green - like walking through a forest with wildflowers...

This type of video is most helpful.

I love this style aka clean look...I love everything about it

Valentina thank you for this video, I loved it, cheers till the next one 👍

Hi Valentina ❤ I love your videos and I share the taste of a beautiful modern luxury house. I live in Atlanta as well in the suburban area. My house is 20 years old I bought it when it was brand new , I love the layout, but I got stuck in time and is time to a decor update 🙌🏼. I follow you in LTK, all your mood boards are my inspiration but I have a problem I have champagne taste and beer money 😅 Any advice …?

Love your energy! Your so passionate about design it gets me excited too! Video suggestion: it might be fun to do a Q&A with you and Jack. #cutecouple

Absolutely love this style!!

Love this style but would love to know how you make it work with kids please!

I love this style ❤ my biggest struggle is how to match elements and not choosing everything on the same color

Thank you!! Very helpful episode!

I appreciate your videos. They prompt me to evaluate what I've been neglecting in my home. I have been taking a look at all of my older and sun-aged window coverings. We have mostly east and west facing windows. So much sun damage! I have dupioni silk curtains in my living room that has seen better days. I ordered new, less bold window coverings and I hope they look great with my existing furniture. Looking at older paint in rooms is what's next and determining how to get it all painted is my next mission. I do know my style. It works in my existing home. But sometimes I still wish I could live in a mid century modern home with black and white furnishings.

I love the black lamp behind you. Where’s it from? Thx for your content
