my favorite home tours on youtube ! 

Use of color is associated with a closed floor plan, so that the color stays "contained" within a definable design space. Since MCM, American homes have been dominated by open floor plans and high pitched ceilings that are hard to meld with a strong use of color, due to the size of the space, the intrusion of the ceiling into the visual space, and the way the design needs to flow through multiple use areas.

If you love English country, you HAVE TO watch some escape to the country episodes. There are many REALISTIC English country homes that real people go to look at. The show has been running for like 15 years and there are lots of episodes on RU-vid. It’s my comfort TV. 😊

Sometimes I think the way you can paint walls a really bright colour in the UK is due to the natural light. I’m based in Australia and the daylight here is super bright - much brighter than the UK. It’s hard to describe, but it’s just different, and so sometimes coloured walls here look trashy and loud in a way that the similar colours look warm, inviting and fun. Maybe also about weather, atmosphere and the relationship to the outside surrounds too, as we generally, even in the south of the country, don’t need spaces to feel cosy for much of the year and coloured walls can really contain a space and bring the focus inwards.

I'm completely with you on the push/pull of beautiful authentic mid century modern homes and cozy warm english country cottage homes. It's like softness, warmth, colorful & layered vs clean lines and curves.

Victorian fashion was heavily influenced by India.. fabrics, designs, prints and bright colors ofcourse. The home decor i see in some of the uk homes have a lot of style which i can tell has been influenced by India. Curtains, cushions, fabrics. A lot of older homes in India have red oxide flooring and its still very common in southern part of india. Also tv cabinet with closed doors is something what i grew up with. Almost all homes had tvs inside the cabinet either with doors or cute curtains.

my favorite genre of youtube home tours is "gay man buys an english country estate and decorates it like an 80 year old woman on acid" even if it does make me feel claustrophobic lol

Robert Kime was King Charles interior designer- he died a couple of years ago and everything you see in this video has been sold at auction.

I love British maximalist style of design but to do it properly you need years and years of gathering treasures and bargain antique shopping to layer into your decor and travel enhances this way of decorating. A very famous British interior designer in his 80’s (can’t remember name) said that if you gather all the furniture and decor pieces you love and adore your decor will be always be cohesive and beautiful. We don’t have to be concerned that things match together and that the colors meld together perfectly they will mesh together to become a timeless and a statement of true style.

idea: if you’re really into those curtains under the sink but don’t think you’ll ever incorporate them into your own home, you should design some as a future WAS product !

Paige! Those “picture bars” or areas for hanging pictures from the crown molding are important in very old homes! In old houses tte walls were plaster, not drywall. If you had put in a nail, it would have cracked the plaster. Voila! Picture rails. 🤪🤪💕💕

Would love to see a Mexico City video. Number one city on my wishlist to visit. The architecture/trees/parks/etc look amazing. Please go!

dear god I've seen all of these. have I reached the end of interiors youtube?

I know exactly what you mean about loving both types of design - and it’s fun trying to balance mid century furniture with traditional textiles. My style concept for my home is “Bag End but if Bilbo had been a college student in the 70s”

Been loving Japanese, Scandi, Mexican style homes. Really cool incorporation of colour. I love looking at AD Mexico - so many bright colours!

“all artists are depressed or mentally ill” *immediately cuts to sponsorship*

Was about to do some chores, but everything else is on pause until I finish hanging out with Miss Wassel.

suggestion: paint your bathroom a color that makes people's skin look radiant.

I love tiny houses, so Im obsessed with the Never Too Small channel, (my faves are Thomas Fournier's Parisian apartment, Jacobo Valentí's Barcelona home and all the episodes in Japan)!!!

You are not going to elaborate on the tomato themed birthday? I would recommend the Alexandra Tolstoy home tour on House and Garden and Rajiv Surendra's NYC apartment on Handmade Home. Thanks for all you do!

You need to watch House & Home’s midcentury home in Canada (2 years ago). The video is called “Colorful home makeover, Midcentury meets maximalist”. They have lots of art pieces w/great personal stories

I've watched Robert Kime many times just because he was so cool, unique, laid back and fun. He was definitely one of a kind. He had a beautiful eye but most importantly, the wisdom to not take any of it seriously.

Moved into a 1920’s apartment a week ago and ran into the living room while watching this and I definitely have the molding for picture rails & hangers. Stoked.

I love watching these sort of videos where you bring other homes to take a peek in

I live in Mexico City (been here for 20 years). I don't have specific Airbnb reco but happy to check anyone that you want to share and provide restaurant reco. Also, come in April, there are many Jacarandas and they bloom in April. Also, while the weather is good year around (70 to 80s) the most sunny weather is March to May.

I love you paige! I've never left you a comment but i adore your videos. Bored of vloggers and people pretending to be perfect and i just love the way your channel is so focused on the home and interiors and having a chat basically. It really makes me feel good to watch your videos! Plus, i love the little advert type thing you snuck in there about what you expect from a future spouse 😂 love, from the south of France

I think you would love Krakow in Poland. It is tourist trap, but what is interesting... They have lots of bars, coffee bars, restaurants and every place is verry diferent and designed even themed. I was so inspired and amazed there. And cool airbnbs.

we love to hear you talk, that's why we're here.

Ahhhh I lo0ve these. Some of my favorites, not mentioned: Alison Lloyd’s Hackney on 'The Modern House' channel, Will Fischer and Charlotte Freemantle on 'House and Garden', Captain Kelly's Cottage on 'The Local Project'... for anyone who wants to go down more of a rabbit hole, lol

I smoke pot sometimes too Paige, interior design potheads unite!

I think you would enjoy Beata Heuman's home on the Swedish countryside! It's on The Sunday Times Style channel

You HAVE to watch this one from the modern house: "Architecture Fan Buys House She's Dreamed Of For 50 Years". Really inspired me a lot

Yes, it is fun watching these and listening to you talk.

Homeworthy profiled designer Elizabeth Law's California home. I appreciated how committed she was to keeping the house original to it's time period (100+ year old Spanish style).

Love this you do all the research and post for us. Would like to see more of this. Loads of ideas. Inspirations. Enjoyed my coffee with you this morning. Thank you for the visit. Peace!

Just re-watched Frida with Selma Hayak and I totally fell in love with her family home and her and Diego's houses which are now a museum.

Chinoiserie is something that suits both traditional (eg The Royal Pavilion, Brighton, England) and mid century (eg Bert Cooper’s office in Mad Men) interior styles.

It was great hanging out with you and listening to your inputs on home design/decor! Im definitely more into the more mid-century modern type home, but i live in Paris which is fun because i get to mix modern pieces into an old apartment with chevron parquet and all over molding. Best of both worlds for me.

I love this type of video. Much more relaxed like listening to a friend talk 😊

Your videos are always so inspirational. After every video I walk through my house and look at differently. Sometime I am inspired to change a picture or move a piece of furniture and just that small change makes the space so much better. Sometimes I don't change anything, but just appreciate what I have and how the space makes me feel centered and calm and happy. Your amazing eye, your ability to see the beauty in a space, even when it isn't your style, truly is a gift and I appreciate you sharing it with the world!

i feel like a curtain on a laundry room sink/counter is a great way to make that styling work with multiple different general design aesthetics!

The woman who lives in an artist loft/studio, the Ganni one, and the MCM one are my favorites! I also love English cottage style but in smaller doses than the more maximalist ones featured. I think the Ganni & artist loft ones do a good job of marrying English style (pattern, color) with more modern designs.

Yes, Paige. I love this type of content from you.

Love your commentary videos! I’m def on the more mid century side but I think a home without a mix of every era/style is just missing out on depth and interest! Love this, so fun ❤

Yes this is what i love. I love your RU-vid episodes like these so much.❤

I enjoyed this format! Thanks for posting

Love the home tours your observations are always interesting!

I like to hear you talk. I especially love the speed you're talking at - not too slow and not too many pauses. Love it!

The picture hanging bars were installed in old homes to protect the plaster in the walls. That was also the original purpose of chair rail and wainscoting.

Her kids would jump over the loft window 🩷I’m loving this watching with you

Yes, I like you talking through the tours! It’s fun because I watched many of these tours too but have no feedback. My friends are not into design as much so it’s nice to hear you go at it with your opinions.

I love the Schumacher ones.

The plastic tomatoes are luscious.

rabbit holes on pot are such a creative option🐦🌴🌾🌴🌾🌾🐦

Love the lil tangents and stories u include in ur videos

YES! OK here are my fave home tours: Rita Konig, Sophie Ashby, Gabby Deeming (all from H&G UK too), Jodie Hazelwood (Sunday Times), Christina Nielson (Homeworthy), Alvyn Wade (can't remember where, there are multiple tours of his NYC apartment on RU-vid). Also, I LOVE Barrie Benson's home tour (I think that one is Schumacher which is another great RU-vid channel for home tours). Paige, can you do a video teaching people how to prop style in their own home? P.S. Good luck on your Hinge date!

Hi Paige I'm from Ecuador Love your personality . You should follow Life by Lufe. He is from Brazil and visits houses with different decors.He also has two or three books. Lots of colour and brazilian crafts.

These sorts of video k-holes are so comforting and inspiring. You mentioned how it’s a good way of finding talented people - after I watched the Brooks Christmas video too many times, RU-vid told me to switch over to Skye MacAlpine’s Venetian Christmas flat, and it is a delight for the eyes. Her homeworthy tour of her London house is also delicious and made me buy some pieces from her tableware line, Tavola. Very much in the Brooks/Hall English eccentric style.

Love you, girl! Excited for Waaaaacko!

This is the most helpful video! I can’t wait to watch all these home tours and comb them for inspiration! Some of my favorite videos are the home tours from Bella Freud, Sophie Ashby, Gert Voorjans, Francesco Risso, Zoe Zimmer, Frank Portelli’s Granddaughter’s Apartment from EverHouse Love this series idea!

Would love to see a video about how to update a very outdated apartment... like giant rectangle mirrors covering the bathroom walls and laminate counertops. Popcorn texture everywhere. Somewhat open-concept. Every wall is painted a kind of golden-yellow-white color which I like but also I don't know how to like make it a vibe. Not sure but please help if you are interested lol. Love your stuff!

I’m with you, I love so many things that I would not put in my home but I can admire and appreciate😊

I like watching Roommy Japanese home tours. Space is at a premium, and the creativity is amazing.

You will love the Everhouse channel on RU-vid. Home tours based in Malta. A lot of vintage and tons of character in the architecture

I had that bright warm yellow in my college bathroom and it was so wonderful. The room was very janky and cold feeling but once I painted it yellow I loved spending time int here and having candles lit was so cozy.

omg! It is so insane that i almost watched all of these home tours!!!! and i also love them so much !!!!!

I can’t wait to see what you think of Waco! Love your videos and perspective about style and design!

Yes! I love this type of video, feels like old school Paige, keep em coming :)

I’m very inspired by all the interiors of the English countryside homes too. The colors, patterns, curated objects, and thoughtfulness are what appeal to me most. Funny and I thought I was a minimalist! Everhouse is a great channel for home tours.

Hi Paige! I loved this video! It would be great if next time you could link the videos you show. Love from Argentina!❤

obsessed with these kinds of hang out vids btw !!

You're so pretty Paige! also thank you for turning me onto the House and Garden home tours, wow what a game changer

I don’t know which side to go to, either! So now I’m sitting here, frozen, trying to decorate and craft a home style; somebody send for help. Actually, you’ve been a big help, so thanks! 😁

Loved this style vid. Also the bangs are really doing it for me in this one, very flattering to your eye shape and brows

The Modern House's sister site, Inigo, has become my new favourite. I also love Never Too Small (architects giving tours of small homes they designed in Spain, Tokyo, Buenos Aires, Melbourne etc), and My Scandinavian Home sometimes features really cool homes in Finland, Norway, Denmark and Tasmania weirdly... I love a good kitchen and like to dream over Plain English and especially their sister site, British Standard which features real homes rather than showroom inspo. There's this mustard yellow kitchen that I always look at. I don't want it for myself I just love knowing it exists.

You picked all my favorite homes💫

This was fun to watch, and also gave me some new home tours to look up!

The Amanda Brooks Home is my all time favorite favorite cottage! I loooove that house.

Have fun in Waco! Hope it’s warm enough!

I love to hear you talk. You’re so funny and fun to watch .

Here for tomatoes in the background 🍅

I love this video! Very inspiring especially since I like this British material mix style. Please do some more! 👍💯

Love this video. It is fun, I like to hear you talk this much. Please do a full video on Pauline Caulfield. ❤

You pick amazing spaces to showcase & critique. Better than most other design RU-vidrs. ❤

Love this type of video! More of this please 😊

The tours were fun!! I love the picture rail idea.

I think your bathroom color looks pretty but I also think if you're interested in playing with a really strong color, your bathroom is a perfect place!!

idk but it's really cool to see you sort of embrace the older/traditional styles of these designers' homes (marked by more "clutter" and feminine touches) bc that has always been my style; meanwhile i'm fine-tuning my own decor to sort of incorporate the more modern, cleaner touches that i see you regularly use in your home(s)

Yes I really love to hear you talk that much ❤ great video

Love those picture rails.

The English cottagy style is not my vibe, but my God, the last house, the MCM one, was stunning, I would give my right arm to live there! Please, do some more modernist houses Paige! PS: loved your tomatoes!

This was such a good episode. Yes we want to watch these with you and listen to you talk haha. English interiors are so good and if all you want its flirting and eye contact thats also good! Also bring on Waco!

Dropping that you are going to Waco the last second 😮 I can't wait!

This was the perfect comfort on a gloomy day, would love a second installment! Vouge France apartment tour of Sofia de Moser Leitao's Paris apartment just popped up in my feed, and reminded me how much I loved it. In general I find the series Une fille, Un Style to be super inspiring

I mean you might already be familiar with this but Nowness has this great series called In Residence and they have really great homes. Also Homeworthy is a little hit or miss for me but some of my fav house tours are on there (I’d recommend Michelle Nussbaumer’s home)

Yes, this is great!!!

If you haven't already seen them, I think you'd really like Beata Heuman's Swedish summer home video on Sunday Times Style or her London home video on Quintessence - nice combination of the British and Scandinavian influences! So many times people think Swedish interior design only = minimal/Scandi aesthetic, and classic Swedish style a la Karin and Carl Larsson is so under-discussed!

Beautiful collection of inspiration, thank you. Robert Kime was a very influential british decorator, known as a 'great assembler' of beautiful things. Very worthwhile looking into.

You have picked out ALL my favorite videos and put them in one place.

You have to watch Skye McAlpine's Venice apartment tour. It's on House and Garden and might be my favorite home tour ever. The kitchen (and the rest of the house) is to die for. And I'm with you on not being able to decide between mid century and cozy english. I think my taste is just rich British person 😂

First, I loved today's home tours. Thank you! We are empty nesters who have decided our 2024 focus is our home. For me, the homes showcased in your video evoke comfort. These appear to be people who have decided to "settle in" for intentional living in their spaces. In our 35 years of marriage, we've moved a lot! I am so tired of subconsciously making decisions based on resale purposes. I just know I want to be able to settle in. Maybe that's my design style--settling in with intention.
