Nicolas is one of the hardest working patreon hosts on patreon. He has interesting, more relaxed videos that he puts on patreon weekly and lets you know ahead, all his interesting plans. Definitely a good deal being a member of patreon! There is even a video of the elusive Vanessa.

Ditch the painting above the fireplace. Looks like grandmas house. In your travels, purchase a piece of art that makes you so happy! Then, for a more modern look, just prop it up on the mantle and don’t frame it.

I agree. Since you kind of don't like it maybe you want to look at replacing the "electric fire" module with a different one. I have a very realistic one that looks "real", puts out heat very inexpensively, and also "crackles" like a real fireplace.
@barbarafairbanks4578
@barbarafairbanks4578 Год назад
I agree. Install an updated, better performing firebox and use it as a focal point that will also lend some function to the room and some warmth. The boxes stacked in front of the fireplace look, imo, like they should be jnside the firebox, making a roaring fire, lol . Love the rug - it adds a lot, and the fine black lines mimicked in the prints compliments the rug and vice versa. I agree that the round skirted table is outdated and dominates that corner of the room. Although that round shape in the room lends some relief to existing straight lines and sharp corners, perhaps a chaise with a very subtle, softly rounded profile (trending right now) would maintain some curves in the room without overwhelming it. Lightening up the walls with a beautiful shade of white would be lovely ;))... there are so many beautiful shades of white to choose from!

Hello Nicolas, there are three things I absolutely like because they are not so often to find here in Germany: 1. An open fireplace 2. Symmetry interior 3. Typical british style. Therefore I would never hide such a phantastic fireplace. In our home I just try to introduce symmetry and more and more british home furnishings. By the way: I made a real bargain and for some days now our kitchen is the place for a new Kitchenaid Artisan - in red. Guess where I got the idea !

I think it’s wonderful that as you grow and change, you find different things that give you joy.

Love Ur new Tea for 1..Tea Set!!.. It's gorgeous!!... On a side note... Symmetry is not the only way we can achieve "Balance".. "asymmetrical balance" may also be achieved with ascending and descending ANGLES...which I can see very clearly in Ur new stage of design.. sometimes we like and create things subconsciously... (; The new pops of bright green also bring in the natural energy of the outdoors..which I know Ur fond of... Agreed..I think the chaise should be a muted sagey color.. I see these greens in the central painting above the fireplace.. and the sisal rug "grounds" the entire space... When we design and style with our "hearts"...everything always "clicks"... Enjoy!!.. ✌️❤️😎👍

I find that ignoring trends and sticking with the classics always works for me. Boucle is trendy and for me ugly even in a modern setting. I love what you have done to your living room using what you already have aside from the rug. Sometimes simply editing and repurposing is all it takes to transform a space.

It's obviously a very small room and I do like the furnishings and "romantic" feel. A lighter wall paint will definitely brighten things up in the corner. The only thing that throws me however, is the lycra coffee table. Perhaps something with real glass would still give the see-thru element without looking plastic? The room is too elegant for that piece. (Any chance a fancy mirror over the fireplace mantel would work? It would add more light, but obviously I don't know what would be reflected.) Can't wait to see new look!

Looking awesome! From afar. 🇨🇦 I see face the tortoise should face out into the room, place the mantle mini floral between the center and end of frame as it sits on the end of the mantle alone. Move the arrangement of candle stick and holders together on the coffee table to take up less space and look like a cluster. Do not block the fireplace you are so fortunate to have with baskets perhaps use candles to fill up that space. Embrace the luxury of you home. ❤️❤️

Although I love the F&M baskets... I would have them a little to the side of the fireplace. I think the brass of the fireplace screen gives the pop of reflacted light and blends with the candlestick. ANd I know you think the paint color is dark.... I call it moody . Moody= sexy! And with the new green chase and reading lamp would be masculine moody.

I always look forward to a new episode. The new paint color will be excellent peppered with that chaise, should be delicious. Elegant minimalism means for me to pare down to a balance. Keep the fabric, you may have a use for it later. BTW, have you thought about a proper smoking jacket to relax in? You would need a proper watch. I would recommend a Frederique Constant thin quartz, the 37 mm gold with the white waffle face. It is elegant with a dark green, blue or maroon smoking jacket. These watches, mine at least I bought at a heavy discount and I adore it. As to tea sets, I prefer Royal Doulton. My issue is that I drop things. I am trying for Las Vegas desert southwest as my design. Bold and dramatic elements to lead the eye. My final addition will be a 1960s aristocrat slot machine.

Hello Nicholas, love the adjustments to the livingroom. The only part I don't like are the baskets in front of the fireplace. They are a tad rickety and battered. I would either put a nice, full green plant in front of the fireplace or move the chaise back towards the fireplace. The baskets also take away from chaise as it is very pretty and it does not look good in front of them. Hope you don't mind I making a suggestion. Thank you for sharing.

I love what you have done with your living room so far, especially the rug. I am redoing my living room at present, making it a comfy & pleasant room to sit in. I upcycled an old chest of drawers into a side board by placing it against a wall horizontally & removing the drawers. I use the spaces where the drawers were for my files, folders & stationery. I covered the top with muslin & placed some ornaments on it. Thank you, Nicolas for once again taking the time to share & show what you have been doing.

May I suggest you place the bookcase in the corner (will not impact on bench space at fireplace and will hug the corner) and your chaise at the window with the light from the window and your floor lamp for the dark nights. I would also swap the round table in the window for the desk side on to the window again for more light. The wall unit at your front door if it's still there can equally work on the opposite wall. A little basket on the desk will take the door keys on reentry.

Maybe the white bookshelf that you have in your room could look better near your new green armchair, cozy corner for reading Books

Thanks for the vid Nicolas. Your fireplace looks ok dont worry. What about your bureau? Are you not using it anymore? How about a vlog regarding planning and managing your cupboard, especially for men? We don't know how to do that. Look at seasons and how to manage that. Also, how to use the cupboard. Some believe your cupboard must be like a person dressed: shoes at the bottom, then trousers then shirts etc. I am sure there will be universal things for men and woman when looking at managing your cupboard. We are looking forward to your expertise LOL!!!

You made me sooooo happy! Love your rug, it’s a perfect size and a perfect colour! And yes yes for you to remove that round table and replace it with a nice and comfortable seating! Can’t wait for the rest like new paint and all!! Also, your gift from your friend David is beautiful and practical 👏🏻👏🏻👌🏻👌🏻

Hi Nicolas I am loving the living room changes and Chaise- so exciting. I would like to add a reading area somewhere in my home. Pls also tell me how you are looking after your plant on your dining room table. It is looking so healthy and happy (feeding/watering and misting advice 🙏) I have the same plant, but is looking a bit sad. Love your new teapot too - in the past I have been on visits to Devon and popped into the many trendy farm shops and one was selling homemade knitted teapot covers. I bought two, they are like works of art. I think the lady that makes them is now selling them in Harrods, go girl! Can’t wait to see more of your living room make over, have a fab week 💐

What a wonderful broadcast! I love the little teapot set your received from David! I have a nephew (Lee) who is an artist and LOVES teatime (here in the U.S!) and he would love something like that. Thank you for sharing that, as it is the perfect idea I have for his birthday coming up!

I love the changes you are making. Green velvet with a lighter wall color will be stunning.

The new room looks quite nice - I loved the look of the old room, too….I hope you held on to those pretty chairs and can repurpose them somewhere else….nothing like cozy armchairs. I remember when you were asking our opinions about the paint colors and I chose the lighter one you proposed, but you went with the darker one - isn’t is called mouse hide or something like that?😂. It is pretty, but any paint color that has a drop of black in it will suck up the light in the room. I found that out the hard way! I think the shaded white will be very pretty - can’t wait to see it…Isn’t it wonderful to have a special space you love and decorate it as you wish….how blessed we are when we have that!
