The number one for living luxurios is: cleaning! That's the hotel feeling, fresh towels, room service... Every room looks better when cleaned. No matter if studio apartment or big mansion. A smaller investment you can make are unified, high quality towels. 600 density or even higher. White is classic because they can be bleached, but stick to one colour and splurge one time. Donate your clean, mish mash but still good towel collection to an animal shelter. They always need towels.
It’s actually healthier to shower first before going into a tub (if you’ve seen skid marks in your underwear, you will understand how important it is to get rid of that BEFORE going into a tub)
The shower thing is so spot on. One apartment complex I once lived in had the bathroom designed that way and entering the bathroom always felt light and airy to me.
Wow, me & my friend were just speaking of the Bellagio! Haven’t been there in several years!! Love how they’ve updated their rooms!! Very nice!! Love your tips Kiva, especially about lighting! Thanks!
Why am I not surprised with seeing soon on HGTV? I’ve been following you for a while and your videos and decor advice just keep getting better 🙌🏼. You go girl! We’ll all be watching ♥️
FYI Bellagio is a small town on Lake of Como , placed right on the starting of ramification of the lake. The name means litterally "Nice staying" "nice place to stay" .
Definitely lighting options are a big piece of that multifunction space like a hotel room, just stayed somewhere with the sink outside the shower/toilet room that was directly in front of the door - this actually worked well because it functioned as an entryway table with mirror as well as the sink. They had a light centered over the vestibule, a light centered over the sink, and a light built into the mirror! All within a 4'x4' square space.
KB, with much respect how you personally present yourself in these videos ensures creditability - your clothing attire and voice tone is crucial, i was unbable to finsih watching this video
KB the room is beautiful, even with soooo much going on in it. That bathroom is amazing!!!! KB you do such a great job, I excited to see the process of where your career takes you
The most important thing about that pop of color coming from the orange chair is that it is a subtle "pop." It also blends with the room, and not just because the idea is echoed in the luggage stand. They chose a rusty, earthy tone, so it doesn't draw the eye from the rest of the decor, and doesn't require an exact match in its echo. It looks like it belongs in the room, while still providing some color interest. Perfect balance between bold and blending.
You are sooooo right about technology! I liked your advice about doing something to hide the TV (or at least distract from it). I did my small living room in mid-century modern but I had an out-of-place 32" black flat-screen TV. I'm not handy and don't have many tools, so I had the good folks at Home Depot cut some wood and I bought some stain, wood glue, and legs for the project, and I built a shallow (12" deep) television cabinet that sits against the wall and encases the screen. It doesn't even have any doors, but because the screen is encased in a low wood cabinet with legs, it evokes the 1960's without being bulky. Ha-ha. A neighbor asked me if it was a fireplace and I said, "No! It's a TV!"
Good video. Love the murals over the beds and the shower. Interestingly, I can’t remember that I even turned on a tv in a hotel (even pre-pandemic). We watch our lap top or tablet for anything we need. I’m wondering when TVs won’t be a part of hotel rooms.
Love this video! Such a great idea to discuss hotel decor with the hotels designers. I only go to boutique hotels with great design. It’s so inspiring. Great video, Kiva! Love it.
As for mattresses, a lot of hotels actually post online which ones they buy! I just found hotel quality pillows that sleep like a dream that I will be sharing soon!
Ty so much for this. I’ve always been curious about the brands and design that high end hotels use. What are the mattresses they buy and what is comparable that we would find comparable with the same comfort. Ty so much KB.
What is the table height he was referring to that was edited out?? Also, call me crazy but I am dead set against clear glass enclosures around the shower. My shower time is my personal time where I wanna relax, shave, scrub n exfoliate, lather up, etc... and I just feel super uncomfortable knowing that someone may need to use the bathroom or grab something real quick and I don't want to be gawked at while I'm in a not so good "pose", ESPECIALLY while shaving my lady parts!! I hate the feeling of feeling like I'm on display. Any thoughts or ideas on something thats just as airy but yet private?
Great video. I stay at the Bellagio every year and I was disappointed that they removed the tub & shower combo. But I understand the esthetic of the times and now I appreciate the changes. The Bellagio has always been up to date with the modern style with the conventional style into one!
I love your channel. You give such great ideas and design accents. Thank you. I actually want to now go to Vegas just to see the Bellagio. Fabulous video as usual.
KB you are The Queen of Clean Line Chic! Always thought of the Bellagio Hotel and Casino has tacky. So wrong! The designer are very classy, it look like place were Aerin Lauder, India Hicks, and the late Cicely Tyson, Diana Carroll, Audrey Hepburn would love.
Shower curtains are my pet peeve. Even my tub shower has a frameless glass wall without a door that addresses the water sprinkles that will occur while showering.
This is an amazingly exciting collaboration! Kiva I am really impressed. The bedroom & bathroom is beautifully, elegantly & luxuriously designed...also smartly planned & appointed. I could visit there, I can live there, except that its my aim to bring a bathtub into my life. I feel cheated when there is no bathtub at home. But I would thoroughly enjoy myself inthat Ambiance as a guest.🤩🤩
Love the TV idea. I know I would love a video on how to de-emphasize the TV. Most of us do have to live with a TV because we or important members of our family watch TV on the regular. Knowing how to make it about more appealing would be helpful.
Can you do a video about figuring out what our design style is. I like several different looking things and I’m confused. Is there an easy way to figure it out?
The shower might look light and airy, but I hate endlessly wiping down huge glass doors. No thank you. I pull my shower curtain to the side and it looks just fine.
No tubs ?! How do those of us who don’t shower get clean? Showering feels like turning on a fire hose on me - anxious making the minute I see there is no tub. If this trend continues my choice of hotels gets smaller and smaller. DESIGNERS, please reserve a few rooms with tubs. Deep ones, so make sure the overflow drain is nice & high. MAJOR stress relief to get up to my neck in hot water. If you stock bubble bath you’ll be my idol.
If you have an open concept and stainless steel appliances and cabinets pulls, can you bring brass into the living area? I would love to add the brass sofa light from RH. Would that work?
Thanks for the tips. I have to say, I did not find the room very appealing or restful, of course it is Vegas so maybe they don't want you sleeping. I would have liked to see the coffee table they referenced - slightly higher.
I dont know how electrical points can be incorporated in furniture. Especially I am a person who loves to change layout but I hate seeing switches & cords. Any suggestions
@@KivaBrent Kiva you did great! Your content is so good and I am really enjoying how much you have grown as a content producer! I love the DIYs and the insight you bring into decorating. Very informative!

Every time I clean the bedroom, my husband walks in and says “we have such a nice bedroom”. 😆
You're soooo right.
Very accurate
The animal shelter, never thought of that! Thank you 🙏🏾
Between KB and Arvin O. I'm turning into a interior design queen. I just finish his video and I got yr notification.
Me too! Lol
@@judithvigorito4548 the living room NO NO video right😁.
We appreciate you!!!! I love his stop doing this videos, but I’m like wait...I’m doing that 😂.
Right!!!
Same here lmao . They’re my favorites
I need a bath tub !! There is no negotiation. Health before looks. I love the multiple use rooms and a lots of light.
Health matters! They also suggested that you separate your bathtub and shower.
When children are small you need a tub. Once they're older, no more tubs.
I am retired and love my tub. I don't want to see water spots or product bottles so I am team shower curtain.
Tubs always! I feel disgusting if I can’t get a bath once a week or so.
It’s actually healthier to shower first before going into a tub (if you’ve seen skid marks in your underwear, you will understand how important it is to get rid of that BEFORE going into a tub)
Omg I’ve been wanting someone to talk about hotel style!!! Please do more hotel interior design videos
Yes more please. I just left a cabin themed hotel. Cute but that theme life is eww. Btw Hotels use a lot of wall paper.
The shower thing is so spot on. One apartment complex I once lived in had the bathroom designed that way and entering the bathroom always felt light and airy to me.
Wow this is great! I can’t wait to see you on my tv screen soon HGTV here she comes! 🤞🏾
Hopefully soon!!! Thank you so much!
Your comments on the importance of various types of lighting were illuminating!
I love the word play! Also, thank you! Lighting is so important and really transforms a space.
Ba dum dum.
Help! I need a dupe for that bathroom mirror. I love it.
Same! That mirror is everything!
“...there can never be enough lighting...” So, much truth.
Wow, me & my friend were just speaking of the Bellagio! Haven’t been there in several years!! Love how they’ve updated their rooms!! Very nice!! Love your tips Kiva, especially about lighting! Thanks!
Definitely go visit! The new rooms are incredible! Thank you so much, Barbara!

And Nick Lewis, too. Love his practical esthetic.
Kiva and Arvin? Oh yes! I’m here for it. Let’s go!
Hello from Las Vegas! Love your videos. My parents both work at the Bellagio, we love it there. Thanks for showing us some love!

Amazing tips on how NOT to have your space look like a Holiday Inn! Lol
Hey, the holiday inn gets the job done 😂
@@KivaBrent So true! 😂 They come through on those last minutes plans!
@Detailed dream...not the holiday inn😂😂😂😂
I actually love the way they’ve been updating the holiday inn interiors!
Great video! I love this concept-taking design cues from a luxury hotel room. Thank you Kiva!!
Thank you so so much!

Coral is my favorite accent color with all my shabby chic neutrals, mostly white.
I love coral!

You definitely should! I didn’t want to leave!

Im moving and have been looking back at the gems that are your videos💕
Thank you so much for this sweet comment! Congratulations on your move!
Thank you, Kiva. Those interlinked mirrors design is above spectacular!!
Great video! Good advice! Bellagio actually means “lost” as they like to have you feeling in a casino. 😅
The mirror in the bathroom was absolutely stunning.
Have you and Arvin O done a collab video??? Cause you guys so should!! I love both of you guys so much!
You don’t know me, but we are destined to be best friends. I love your vids.
Love this video! Such a great idea to discuss hotel decor with the hotels designers. I only go to boutique hotels with great design. It’s so inspiring. Great video, Kiva! Love it.
Hotels have cleaning crews. Shower doors require constant care. I love my shower curtain to hide the shampoo bottles, etc.
I was thinking the same thing about the glass doors.
What a fun partnership. Great job!
Thank you so much, Tina!
Yeeeees! I’ve been needing this type of content! Thank you
Please discuss the mattresses they buy and what would be comparable and affordable for us.
As for mattresses, a lot of hotels actually post online which ones they buy! I just found hotel quality pillows that sleep like a dream that I will be sharing soon!
@@KivaBrent Ty so much. I need firm support pillows for side sleeper. I did find an excellent one from COMPANY STORE. 55.00.
Ty so much for this. I’ve always been curious about the brands and design that high end hotels use. What are the mattresses they buy and what is comparable that we would find comparable with the same comfort. Ty so much KB.
They often post the mattresses they purchase online! I believe this one is a Serta pillow top!
@@KivaBrent Ty KB . You never disappoint in responding. Much appreciated.

I had a bright blue room and realized that was a no. Thanks for confirming my turquoise bedroom was a bad idea. Lol
I LOVE the sconce. The bathroom is beautiful too
I hope 'shower only' is a very short lived trend, bc I love a bath. I only take baths at home.
Great tips! I’m trying to get my place together as we speak! Thank you!
Thank you!!! I’m sending you good vibes!
The water theme is in the stunning mini bar console as well. I went back and watched it again to look for more examples, lol.
loved this...the table with the overhead lamp is perfect for what I wanted...:) ..

Love u! Great content....glad I found your channel!
Thank you for sharing this information ..great insight that will help me with my house decor..Way to Go🏍🏍
That mirror in the bathroom is to die for. Where did they find that? I have to have one.
It is beautiful--and it's another play on the water theme of the room, with its mother-of-pearl inlay frame. Clever!
Doing big things. I see ya!
All thanks to you! Thank you!
You had me at Bellagio.
Just in time for mom's visit to the new house. Yay! Ty!
I love the hotel look. I can't wait to watch this video.
This video was everything. I am working on getting my space to look like a hotel🤗🤗
Wonderful tips KB! I LOVE the TV idea! 💕 I'm always looking for classy ways to hide my TV 📺
Loved the tips, thanks KB! 🧡🧡
Thanks for explaining how to mix up shapes. I always wondered if all my mirrors and tables should be rectangular. Now I know what Bellagio means!

You have to do the Wynn Encore!! They are my FAVORITE designed hotel in vegas!
Great content
Amazing🙌🏻♥️
I just love a large beautiful lux walk in shower.
Glass is nuisance to keep clean
Wonderful
I love the shower idea but would it lessen a home's chance of resale without a bathtub?
What room is this? I was literally just at the Bellagio last September and my room did not even look like this!
The shower might look light and airy, but I hate endlessly wiping down huge glass doors. No thank you. I pull my shower curtain to the side and it looks just fine.
I get rid of glass door too much work, so happy now with my shower curtain.
I agree with you. And sometimes I need to have a bath and we only have 1 bathroom
