I think the concept of traditional floor plan is in flux. What we think of traditional today isn’t what was traditional 100 years ago, and I don’t expect todays standard to be the same 100 years from now. That said, I think we are going to see a trend towards a modified open concept (some closed off spaces) which will become the new traditional.

So,I actually am a psychologist and I completely agree about the kids’ rooms. I remember painting my young sons’ room in sky blue with blue fluffy clouds. No way I’d do that anywhere else in the house. And post divorce when they were tweens, I took them shopping and let them choose wall color, bedding, rugs, lamps, everything. It was bright and colorful, not my style at all. But it was so them. Childhood is a time of so little control, why not let kids decorate their space to suit themselves?

Really appreciate how you mention that a lot of these trends are fun things for super rich people but not for average people for whom décor is a more long-term investment. Also, the notion that people are trying to box their kids into their style aesthetic is a great point. Everytime I see a nursery painted with grey everything and almost no bright colours it makes me sad.
@sorbabaric1

I like Sophie Pateson’s approach to a child’s room. She designs it for the child to grow in, acknowledging that it’s an investment, and most people aren’t going to be repainting & re-doing a child’s room every 2 years as they get older.
@bather7483

I don't mind it. Bright colors are for places you want lots of activity and running around. An all grey children's bedroom maynot be trendy, but it's an appropriately boring choice for a sleeping space. Now a beige playroom on the other hand..
@MyFocusVaries
@MyFocusVaries Год назад
The modern perspective in this is... Well, a completely modern, fabricated perspective. In a middle class household in the 70s, there was no "decorating" children's rooms. We had curtains and blankets. So the idea that we could stifle children's creativity by decorating their rooms in the wrong colour is, I think, a little over the top. Most kids likely don't care; they think about it because we ask them to. Otherwise?
@gailsprangers9388
@gailsprangers9388 Год назад
@@MyFocusVaries I agree for when they are infants, but I remember when my kids were children in the 70's they had to share a room. We rented back then so weren't able to paint the walls, but I would add visual interest by adding colored mobiles and wall decor because children really love color. My daughter especially loved looking at and adding to the design😁. It was neat, but bright and colorful. Yellow gingham was the main color.

@SableWind

I bought a house form the 1920s that's updated, but kept most of the walls and craftsman moldings and trim intact. It has a lot of character, distinct rooms (entry room, living room, dining room, kitchen - all separated by walls with big door frames that probably held French doors at some point). I haven't lived in a closed off house like this since I was a very young, and I love it. It's much quieter, your kitchen can be a bit messy without it constantly being in your periphery, and you get to design multiple rooms with multiple colors or design themes. I think smaller, focused rooms feel more cozy, and give a lot more opportunity for customization like more wall art, or having furniture against the walls (without it feeling like a Victorian ballroom).

I guess I just like the structure of walls and set spaces. I have a lot of respect for people who can figure out how to decorate open concept floorplans!

19:20 I am the youngest of four siblings, and one of the memories I treasure the most is that our room was big enough for everyone to have their own space, when we still shared the same room. Our parents gave us a box of chalk in assorted colors and told us that each of us couldhave one of the walls of the room, and that we could draw whatever we wanted. I still remember today the train that my brother drew, the hot air balloon with rainbow colors that I made, the green dragon that my other brother drew, and the flowered balcony that my sister drew. Letting children make decisions about their own spaces helps them build personality and confidence.

My daughter’s house is a hybrid and it is perfect. She has teens and their family can all congregate around the kitchen that is open to the family room area, casual eating and a pool/ping pong table and TV. It is big enough that people aren’t bumping into each other. The living room and dining room are separated from all that activity so there is a place for the adults to visit and no TV in there. I live in a small house that looks out on water and would love to remove the wall that divides kitchen and living room but I can’t afford to loose my cabinets. My house is small enough that everyone is still close when I entertain - otherwise I am the only one here except for my pooch.

I like the modern organic look. It is serene and peaceful. Plus, if you want to change your colors (permanently or seasonally) then you do not have to replace a lot of items. I also like warm greige. I have always picked that color so that I could enjoy my beige/brown colors and there was enough grey in it to keep the room from looking like 1990's beige. The greys that they have been promoting the last 10+ years have been very cold feeling.

Our home has a pass through window between the kitchen and living room and it's the best. It allows whomever's cooking still chat with whomever's in the living room while still having everyone out of the kitchen so they can work, makes it super easy to pass over a cup of water to someone sitting on the couch, and doubles the amount of natural light in both rooms.

Regarding open concept everything, with Europe energy crisis I couldn't be happier to have sectioned off rooms. I can't imagine the bill if I had to heat huge spaces all the time. For me it makes sense for similar areas like a kitchen and dining space to be together, but for a living room where you sit down and your body cools down, it requires a different temperature and it's no sustainable if you have the couch in the middle of a dining and kitchen space to heat all the space not in use as well.

To a great degree, the minimalist kitchen trend is an upper class affectation predicated on having domestic help. This trend resembles the function of a state bedroom in an 18th century European palace; it was a space conveying status rather than function (usually, a functional bedroom abutted the state bedroom). In fact, some upper class homes have two kitchens, one for staff, ie, the functional food prep space and one for the family and their guests, which functions more like a reception room.

I think that one of the things I love most about your channel is that you always make allowances for people owning their choices and preferences- like your pendant light and clock. Sometimes we fall in love with items that are on trend at a particular time, and don’t want to ditch them when they go “out”. I also think that it’s interesting how fashion and interior design have a delay between designers and “regular” people getting the memo. I’ve been hearing from designers for a while now that buclé type fabrics are on the way out, but only just now are emails and ads trickling down to me, pushing me towards purchasing those specific items. I have seen them for quite some time in an abstract mood board, aspirational sort of way, but not in the practical here’s-something-in-an-obtainable-item sort of way. Which is why they are flying off the shelves. We have finally gotten used to seeing them and are ready to pull the trigger before we realize that all the people in the know just got sick of them. 🤷🏼‍♀️😂 Mostly I just wanted to thank you for putting so many things into words that I have been feeling, but haven’t understood why!

I think open concept works for smaller square foot spaces, and in a massive house each room should be distinct to prevent spaces from feeling cold and echoing.

Maybe search for some classic styles, or mix a couple. If you still like some of your furnishings, don't buy new. Update with colour. Make some space by getting rid of the coffee table if you don't need one and get some small nested tables. Can't go wrong with a nice piece of mahogany glass cabinet. Unless you go ultra modern it goes with every style. I like a collection of different furniture, don't like minimalist matchy matchy. All this is of course just my opinion, so you do you, but if you browse the web or look for videos on classic styles, that will help.

Thanks for all the handy info and for making me laugh. My 3 yr old granddaughter has designed her bedroom. She wants rainbows, unicorns and pink. Trust me she has a very big personality. Now her mom has to make it happen.

I love me some taupes, especially with a hint of purple. I don't think beige or greige or taupe are boring at all, especially depending on what other colors you pair them with.

Boucle: How does anyone with kids or pets manage to keep a white boucle couch? Acrylic: I *loved* it when my space was very post-modern (pop art, cubist, and brutalist), but it doesn't stay looking good. It gets cloudy and looks aged quickly.

I don't always agree with you, Nick, but you're fun to listen to 😜. I do like a somewhat open floor plan. When I chose my floor plan for my house built in the 80's I chose not to have a formal dining room but just an open country kitchen. That was not the trend but everyone liked it and the builder used my idea for others. When we have guests they all stay in the open country kitchen/eating room and rarely go into the living room. Btw: I love the end of your video. Make it your own!

In flats in Europe it's normal to have a kitchen with a dining table in it. Growing up we had a small TV in the corner tight next to the table and the kitchen was the hub. We rarely ever used the living room, we were all cramped in that tiny kitchen watching the tiny TV lol

My family / friends tend to congregate near the food, whether it's in the kitchen or on the outdoor grill. Socializing happens around the table. The living room usually ends up being for overflow or side conversations, unless we're watching a movie or sporting event on tv.

My open kitchen/dining/living room setup is because I HATE doorways…call it ADHD, but when I pass through a doorway, I often forget what I’m doing 🤭🫣 If I can see into other rooms, I feel much more focused and in control of the area. I’ve lived in all types of houses and this works for my brain!

We just bought a house specifically because it had an open kitchen floor plan. My husband and I like to talk and hangout while he cooks so it would be really sad if he was just in a room by himself. Same with having company over, getting food or making drinks becomes a nice casual social activity if everyone is in the same room.

I love my upper floating shelves! I genuinely don’t mind dusting and I collect vintage glass (that we use everyday, even with kids!) and my great grandmother was ceramicist and I have many of her display pieces ❤

Trends are fun but people should use them to find their favorite things. I have dark cabinets and skinny rectangular tiles in my kitchen. So over. But I really love it.

I'm going to go with "it's not how trendy it is, it's how you use it" 😂 for your caged light fixture. I never got into them myself, but yours looks beautiful in front of that dark wall, and if something works, it works, regardless of being associated with trends.

OMG I've just come across your videos and I must say I love watching them. The trends are quite similar here in Australia but some are vastly different. I love your dry houmor associated with your reviews. I look forward to watching more and getting up with the latest trends in Canada and here in Australia. Hugs from Australia xx

Goodness, this is a great informative video. Full of great thought out opinions, which I actually agree with all of them ( I studied interior design with architectural drawing at college . ) Congratulations to Nick Lewis for not only his opinions and advice but bringing in some humour and making me laugh ( love the reference to " a giant scratching post for cats ".
