I don’t understand why you don’t have more followers. You are one of my favorite interior design TH-cam pages. You speak so eloquently and have a great eye for design.
That means the world! Thank you so much! I only recently started TH-cam so it’s only been about 8 months! Hoping it picks up momentum 🤍
@@mrphoenixgrey I’m sure it will. You are fantastic!
The channel is relatively new. I was among the first subscribers, glad for more followers
It will! I really enjoy your channel and watch them while putting on my makeup to go to work. Wanted to ask, if this chair comfy or is it more form rather than function? I need a statement chair with a bit of post-modern flair @@mrphoenixgrey
Fantastic video! I have been stuck for 5 years trying to combine multiple design styles and colors with no success. You are so right when you say "how do you feel'. I find that my eye enjoys clean lines and modern design styles like Restoration Hardware, but I have a strong "gut" reaction to cozy cottage traditional styles and realize I NEED certain colors in my home to elevate my mood. I "feel" depressed when looking at neutral palettes in RH with only the beiges, browns, blacks, etc and, dear God, can't even stand grey. So depressing. However, as mentioned above, my eye LOVES the lines. I must have reds, yellows, greens, rust colors in my house. I may just hire you!
One lesson i learned recently about color was when we bought our new sofa and loveseat. In the store, they looked to be a deeper, almost moss green, but when they were delivered, they looked like almost a blue-green. i thought i had just been seeing things wrong in the store, so when i went back to find a chair, i took an arm cover from the sofa. Sure enough, it looked entirely different in the store, and then i realized it had to do with the lighting in the space. i still really like our s/l, but i wish they were the shade i thought they would be when i ordered them. Oh well, there are bigger problems in the world than that, i suppose ;) Really informative and helpful video, DD. Happy 2024, everyone.
Same thing with my house paint. I picked from matte color swatches, but got it in a high gloss. I double checked for a mistake, but no, it looks completely different depending on the sheen. In your case a cheap and easy fix might be to change out your light bulbs, a low Kalvin will make it look less blue.
My paint was supposed to be grey with the slightest hint of green, but the opposite is true, it also makes a big difference what color it is next to. Any colors opposite blue will make it look even more blue. Actual blue will make it look less blue.
Also like you seem to say, not what I thought, but I can live with it.
Once upon a time, the stores would provide swatch samples of the material.
@@yvonnem.langlois5197This store does, too, but the gal helping us didn't mention it and i didn't think to ask. The gal i ordered our chair from did suggest it, though, and that was very helpful.
Thank you,@@rockshot100, i agree that the light bulbs might make a big difference. The lighting in the part of the store where we looked through the fabric samples was very warm, and there was no window. My living room has an 8 foot north-facing window and the bulbs in the overhead light are on the brighter side. i can't change the window, except for pulling the drapes, but i can change the bulbs. And yeah, there are a whole lot of things way more important than that, so i can deal. 🙂
Yes, lighting in store creates problem in understanding colour. I try to check the colour under sunlight as much as I can. Almost all my dresses I bought, I checked them under sunlight before deciding whether to buy or not.
Found the most amazing large canvas art piece and pulled my colors from there and it sits above my fireplace. My mother did it with a pillow that she found. It's so much easier than it sounds and works every time.
Yes! What an excellent idea 🤍🤍
I based my guest bedroom colours from a beautiful tapestry in the room.
Repition of colour also brings harmony and rhythm in a space.
I use as many colors as I want in My Home. As long as they have the same tonal quality. My home is gorgeous and people love it when they walk in.
I would love videos on the design principles! ❤
Adding to the list 🤍
believe it or not, this is first time i've heard anyone explain how room [window] direction impacts color choice: wow.
the whole video is just so good. thank you. love the bloopers too. :-)
Yeah same here, now I’m just wondering how to tell which direction my window sits. I’m not sure where north is to figure it out
OR one other base for picking colors is to find a fabric print (a necktie, scarf, etc.) with 3 colors that you really like or already has some colors that you cannot change with additional color. That would be your "palette". Normally a fabric's colors has a studied or formulated mix of colors that will appeal on their own merit, so they can sell them.
Yes, this is how you best choose colors for your space (deriving them from beautiful textile or art). But the rule 60 30 10 tells you how to use those colors in your space 😊
I gave my friend a linen dress that was the color scheme of my kitchen. She needed it for easy donning due to shoulder surgery….never got it back. I have tried to recreate those tones but fear has paralyzed me.
@@marylhereSounds like an excuse. If you looked at various fabrics, you would find one or two you like even more, probably within hours, and probably the exact same one. If that were a great color combo, believe me, it is not one of a kind, never to be copied over and over.
I have watched or read about the 60,30,10 rule hundreds of times but your explanation was hands down the best and most easy to understand. I am a curated eclectic so I more 50,30,8,8,4 but I keep my color values the same, so it works for me! BTW, I live in Tucson and I have tinted windows which I have to take into account when choosing color.
@jennifershevin5588 Eclectic is my interior style too. Totally agree - the value of hues should be consistent so that colours harmonise together.
I'm more 55/25/ 15/5
love these colour theory videos DD, I always learn something, and yes a design principles video would be great!
Awe that’s amazing? Love hearing that I’m able to help out and educate 🤍
@mrphoenixgrey I'm excited! I find ur videos with examples make it clear to understand. (I'm challenged in so many ways lol) and b4 and after and do's and don't on split screen so, so helpful.
Yes on interior design principles video. 50 year old straight male, single dad from Pennsylvania here and i LOVE your videos.
I’m at the start of repainting my whole interior and today, I just rubbed a little of another colour over the flat colour and bam, I got exactly what I have spent days weeks researching. It’s good to listen to people like yourself, full of inspiration and information. Thank you.
I am listening to the video and looking at all the colors in the set. Black, brown, blue, white and grey all working together to balance that very bold chair. Especially watching that blue chair or your pants disappear as you zoom in really shows how necessary it was for balance. 😮
Please do a video on interior design principles.
I would love a video of interior designer principals 🎉yeii
You are so fun to watch. Thanks for the great content and Happy New Year!
Yes to interior design principles video. "Don't just willy nilly pick pops of color!"
Haha can quote me on it 🤣
Thanks for the time and thank you for your generosity in explaining the wonderful world of color!!
Happy New Year Design Daddy, I hope your 2024 is simply beautiful and all your wishes, hopes and dreams come to fruition or true. Thanks for all the laughs and invaluable education in 2023.
Yes please to a video on scale! Thanks 😊
Ohhhh this is SO good!! Thank you!
Great video Design Daddy!!!! You and others here on YT have inspired me to seek out Interior Decorating for a secondary career that puts me in a fun, happy place after being in a Operating Room all day!!! I really love my job in CVOR ( Open ❤ Surgery Operating Room), but sadly Healthcare has changed drastically and not for the better and it's depressing!!! Love your videos and teachings on things I didn't and don't know and enhancing things that I know❤❤❤!!!
That means so much that I’m able to inspire! Thank you so much for watching and I hope you have an incredible start to 2024! Here’s to many more videos 🤍🤍
@@mrphoenixgrey Awww 🥰 thanks Design Daddy!!! Happy New Year 🎊🎆🎈!!!!
Really great video…inspiration and explanation everywhere from your knowledge base. Thanks!!
Thank you for saying what I have been thinking and saying for several year: let go of the phrase " pop of color". I feel the same way about these over used trendy words: " a moment", " I'm obsessed with...",
"I'm so excited", "Let's jump right in to ", " that being said", " and yeah", Starting every sentence with "So this is". Thank you for letting me rant! 😅
Ur examples and split screen so, so helpful.
Thanks Design Daddy.. love color theory and prints on prints
I never use this color ratio😅,I just go with my preference and sense..may be have to start looking..thank you for your straightforward and tasteful opinion👏👍your others video also helpful🙏
Hi there, would you pls please talk about how to decorate beyond 3 colors? My reason for asking is that I'm wanting a colorful boho look for my condo. Thanks!
Thank you DD…so glad I found your channel.
Me too!
Love your content
That chair is amazing.
Awesome! This technique can really change our 2024 on a creative way. 🥰🥰
Going to try this at home! thanks Dad
You’re so welcome 🤍🤍
Yes please to follow up video on more colours / more detail
I'm thinking cream walls, light oak timber we already have (window frames, kitchen cabinets), multiple shades of blues, and maybe some dark timber too to make it a bit more interesting without being jarring...?
Happy new year 🎉🎉
Great video.
Please do an episode on balance. Also, on harmony
Yay! I'm not the only one irked by the term "pop of color." Can we now work on nudging out "statement piece" and "conversation piece?"
I love it!!!! Double-D Design Daddy!!!
😘
First time viewer. Great advice I’m going for colour this year. Promise I will not just go Willy- Nilly 😂 ❤️🇨🇦
Fabulous video. I’m not sure if I’m succeeding in these rules. But I can start moving forward from here. Also, you asked if I can ask for a video on balance.
Just found you! Never knew I needed a design daddy until today. 🎉
So glad you found me, and welcome 🤍🤍
I live in a log home, so the dominant color is brown with very yellow undertones. My cabinets and dining room furniture are cherry. As a change from twenty years of rust and avocado and sage green I therefore am bringing in a new color scheme of celadon green sofa with brown leather chairs, a side chair with a base of off white with blues and greens in an abstract tree pattern, including brown trunks. This pattern brings in all the colors of the other furniture and walls/floors. The area rugs also have a background of off white with the other colors included as the colors of the patterns on the rug. Selecting the fun print for the side chair provided the tie in for the color scheme.
It sounds divine.
Swearword Love you. That was good Really good.
Happy New Year to you.
Love from Ottawa
Yes do proportions please.
I have been watching your videos and I must say you know how to dress. Love your style and your clothes looks great good quality.
Thanks for the tips! Also, what are these pants? Look great 👍
Desi zaddy
Thanks for the vid. Useful
😉
Happy New Year :3 I didn’t know my mum did this in spaces she designs without telling us hahaha
Happy new year to you and your loved ones as well 🤍🥰
@@mrphoenixgrey hope you have a fabulous year ahead! 2024 is okay so far down under 🇦🇺🦘🥰
Totally unrelated to ID but love your specs!!!
I have downsized twice since I bought my sofas & chairs. Realistically they are too big for my living room, but, were too expensive to swap. I recently unzipped the arms and its made a huge difference, but still too big really.
Anyhow, this furniture is grey (now 10 yrs old too) and I have 2 x grey full length window dressings. So I feel I have done the maths but in different ways, my walls are now blush pink, and I feel the 10% is the chrome for curtain poles, lighting, even picture frames (pink in the pics). I feel it works.
Has to be said the WHOLE look is ruined with throws everywhere as 3 labrador crosses are on the furniture 😂😂😂
Omg YES! I HATE the term “pop of colour”! I don’t imagine anything nice when I hear it 😅
👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 I’m sooooo tired of the over usage of POP!🤦🏾♀️ even in the culinary field, my gawd! POP this into the oven, pop a few onions into the bowl, etc! 🫨
I think this rule only works nicely for contrasting colors. For example, if I have white walls I wouldn't say they are necessarily the 60% primary color because they can just as well be an empty canvas for colors to add. But if I’m Patrick Bateman and want a deliberate high-contrast black and white aesthetic, then white would be the 60% and black the 30% (and red the 10%, I guess)
I also think you can combine similar colors. Most of the examples shown have more than three colors, anyway
I don’t think that’s true. A lot of the examples he showed were not bold or vibrant or overly contrasted. They were all beautiful and complimentary. I did this concept in my room (although I didn’t realize it was a thing until just now) it’s 60 white, 30 beige/light brown, 10 black. The black is more in table legs, fixtures, and decorative bins. The brown is on a few walls, on a bench, blankets, and cabinets. The white is walls, bedding, wardrobes. It all flows really nicely and has a very calming feel. It’s much more peaceful than the way the room used to look.
I found your 60/30/10 interesting but was wondering how art on the walls fit into the equation?
Going to do a breakdown for this next 🤍
As someone who is really into art, I don’t match my art to my furniture. Art stands alone. If I buy a piece and love it, it goes anywhere.
I think art pulls in all the three colors together
@@cynthiafialka Yes, you are totally right. I always thought that. I also like big pieces of authentic art and I always thought that the color of these paintings didn't matter. This is ART. But I must confess that for the last ten years, I had to change seven times the color of my dining room. I am pretty discouraged. Paintings with very bright colors are very nice but they are really difficult to match with a wall color (unless I choose white or close to that) that would at least have a neutral effect or ideally complementary. Hopefully, the next color will be the right one...
I have the same feeling about “pop of color “- you see a stylish mellow interior and then some red armchair 🤦🏼♀️😉
I adore the striped chair. Buying details, please.
More color info, please. I get that floors have undertone, and ceiling can be a color, but what does that mean for coordinating paint, sectional, side chairs, case goods, drapes?
Adding to my list 🤍
Daddy! 😂 can semi-permanent fixtures like lights be used for accents? Or should we leave that for less permanent things?
Love your videos. A question, though. How about an eclectic design, like a boho home? What makes it eclectic is that there are many, many colours. I am a maxilmalist 😅
How does this work with the monochromatic color drenching trend?
Do you do colors house wide, or room by room?
Many designers suggest mixing a cool color in a warm room as an accent or vise versa. What are your thoughts on that? For example, adding a bit of gray in a neutral, warm room/home.
I think it is a great idea, especially for those of us with grey walls or floors, because you can layer on the warm tones and update that grey look. I have blue/grey walls in the LR, in a color I love, and medium tone brown wood floors, but the room would have read as cold if I did not bring in more warm elements.
Could l please ask a question ? … l love Iris Apfel’s apartment and it seems to go against this “ rule “ very strongly !! … but for me it works perfectly … why ?
I’m gonna use this as a reference for The Sims 4. 😂❤
Haha! Living the fantasy! 🤍🤍
@@mrphoenixgrey, I’ve gotta do what I’ve gotta do!
Daddy I did almost 85-10-5 in a very monochromatic space and it works. Only because the 10 and 5 are repeated often and so damned loud. Or do I just think it works? I do appreciate greatly the general rule.
If it feels balanced when you look at it overall then it’s perfect 🤍
@@mrphoenixgrey Right, it has balance and a sense of repose but mostly looks very intentional, not a mistake.
So i just rented this apartment. Its very nice, but it has thick wall to wall carpeting. The carpet is grey shades from about medium gray to light gray. The walls are white. How would I utilize this rule in this situation? I have a two year old, so white furniture is not an option.
Missed the percentage info 🤦🏼♀️.. working with yellow, blue, orange, teal, white & wood, bought pink vintage chairs but thought they were orange 🤷🏼♀️.. There’s no going back now 😊. Thank you for video though
6:25 Wait, I thought you'd talk about other colour ratios too? Is that going in another video?
I realized that if we want to incorporate more than one accent colors in a space, use muted colors. It's easier to blend muted colors together. Would you agree?
🔥🔥🔥
🤍
Which video is he talking about in 6:03 pls
I'm a rule breaker, but it works for me. 😎
Dearest Design Daddy,
I love you so so much! I am glad I found you! You brighten up my day as I watch you via my phone at the gym on the stair master.
As a real estate agent, I appreciate all of your wonderful ideas and love your positive videos.
But, I beg you please please get rid of that stripe chair.. every time I see it I keep thinking of awful things that I don't dare to say.. and you're just way too cute for it! Why? Please let it go!
I know the colors I want to use in my different rooms, I just don't know their ratios yet.
Phoenix you're awesome (I'm sorry I hate your chair)
Love the video, but I am still as confused as ever as to which paint colours look good together.
Oh no! I’m sorry is there something I can dive deeper into to explain it better?
I love this video DD, I have a question for you, I’m not sure if you can answer it. So if my walls are white and my flooring is gray (charcoal) and I have brown (walnut) leather sofa, should I do gray accent chair or white in this case?
@@mrphoenixgrey All I know is I have a warm grey laminate floor in my rectangular living room. It looks taupe sometimes. And I just cant get past that point. I do not know what colour to paint the walls and what colour to get the sofa in, and which wall to make into a feature wall. Would like more videos on paint and what feature walls will be in for 2024.
@@judelineblaise-noyola9534 You are making this too confusing. Take the colors you already have to a store that sells fabric, neckties, scarves, whatever. Pull the ones that already have you colors within the mix, then look to see which other colors they have already paired with your colors. Of those, then see which of those that YOU like. Those are your colors. Daddy I think will agree.
I hate pop of color too 😅😅😂
Retailers 'artificial' light is the cause for colour misinterpretation opposed to your natural home light. People make the same mistake when choosing rugs/sofa colours etc from computer screen websites. I made this mistake when choosing rugs, which all turned out to be at least 10 shades different from on screen (never again!).
Also a lesson, never choose a colour purely by what the 'company buying/marketing team' have chose to name it ie 'Arabian Sunset', 'Railings Grey' or Ocean Mist Blue' etc.
These are just 'company marketing spins' which simply basically sound better then "Deep Orange', Dark Grey or Pale Blue! ....which you will find never match 'your' mental idyllic image of that colour or your compliment the rest of your interior.
I love your channel and I agree with your principles. But - I just have to say - that chair is so distracting to the message that it's rather hilarious. Yes, it's a stunning art piece. But damn, all I can see is that stripe pattern perfectly sewn together to create massive shoulder pads whenever you're in close-up, and angel wings when you're not.
A "pop pf colour" when its something that has no relation to anything else in the room, is almoat as bad as the "nonsensical accent wall" people who wallpaper a chimney wall, including the chimney, or a wall that has no reason to be highlighted is SO annoying and ugly.
The words you were looking for are double entendres; not ulterior motive. 😘
omg I hate pop of color tooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo! hahaha
🌬️🎶🤍☑️🀄️
Interesting 🤔 My entire home is 60% blue (sometimes green) 30% red (sometimes pink) 10% yellow, and I think it is so cozy and cheerful and harmonious. It mirrors the exterior of my farm - blue/green (sky, mountains, plants), red (barn, house is a muted reddish brick/stone), yellow (flowers at different seasons, hay bales, leaves in the fall)
lol
This is the reason I do not like "Color Drenching" with even the furniture and drapery the same color as the walls, ceiling, and trim. It is flat and boring, no focus, no variety. This trend will not age well.
It didn’t work with millennial pink, and it didn’t work with matching your wallpaper, drapes, and upholstery in the ‘70s and ‘80s. It produced shockingly bland spaces in all white, gloomy ones with all gray, and creepy ones in black. No reason to think it will suddenly work better in another color.
@@whiteserpent6753 A flash example is interesting, but to live in it, well, that is different. Great examples, forgot about the wallpaper, drapery, upholstery overload. That was almost painful.
I love it - my bedroom has been brick red for 30 years.
@@sherunswithscissors I think that some people do love it, and it's great for them. Also, some people have a better sense of what to do with a color-drenched room, and they're going to make it work (by using the drenching to push everything else into the background and foreground other interesting things instead-- like maybe they have contrasting sofa, chairs, etc.) But most people don't decorate that way, which is how we end up with the all pink, all white, all gray, etc., looks. You buy the set of furniture so you don't have to work out other things that go with it and end up going wrong somewhere, and then you drench the walls with color (matching the sofa, so it won't clash) because you hear that's on trend, and you end up with a room in which everything is the same color and pretty soon you get sick of the color.
Some people loved the millennial pink everything, the white everything, the gray everything, and the beige everything, too. But I think that the set of people who actually do love the monochrome look (in any color) is small, and, therefore, the number of people who will regret following the color drenching trend is high.
Be very careful criticizing other interior designers!!!!
That's a great way to lose followers!
God that is one ugly chair.
The first 2 mins of this video should be removed. BARELY made
It through it and was fast forwarding the whole time too.
