Yes. I’m always needing the name of a good book whether it’s embarrassing or not. 😉You need to start a playlist with books you enjoyed. I’m reading Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow right now.
I think a home should be a reflection of you. It is the next layer wrapping ourselves beyond our clothes. So I get twitchy when I see heavily designed interiors. Would you ask someone to select your book collection? Your music collection? Usually these are collections spanning years and/or many genres; while one volume might not define you, the collection as a whole says more. I think that’s why the last image felt strongest to me - the eclectic dining room. (This home will also have longevity which is financially and environmentally prudent.) It also follows another bit of advice: a home should look better, not worse, when “lived in”. I can picture that dining table with remnants of a recent meal, some homework piled on the credenza behind and a cat on the rug, and it still looks lovely. Last thought! I promise! The other strength of the eclectic dining room was the mix of warm and cool hues.
I’m also moving cross country and right now we are in the “selling/getting rid of” phase. For me, that’s very hard. So I’m using Interior Design planning as a kind of therapy to move into the “it’s okay to let go, there’s a brighter future” mindset
Regarding trendy colors, I recommend sticking to pillows and window dressing, relatively easy to swap out and low cost. Mirrored furniture will quickly look dated. It will also look messy if you have dust, pet hair and children or pets that will leave their paw prints all over it. Eclectic will never become truly dated, especially if it is Specific To You !
@@gracenurse3365I think so, I think 18c mirrored furniture was very gold framed. To me mirrored furniture really brings to mind the 80s. Especially with florals and the peach color.
@@beatdizzy yes, you’re right. I looked up old mirrored furniture and it COULD mean just a vanity or something with a mirror at the top. But there was also a lot of fully mirrored furniture in the 1930s. It has a Hollywood Jean Harlow effect. And if you google “Jean Muir bedroom” we can see an old mirrored couch and armchairs she decorated with in London, and that was using Italian pieces in the 50s or 60s. They’re really beautiful!
I have an extreme hatred of stainless steel appliances. They never look clean without lots of work. White enamel is easier to keep looking clean. So for a kitchen I prefer white enamel or panel appliances.
@@JennSarracenianot sure if it's very HLP but I love House and Garden. Sunday times living with style series and hand made home also have some goodies
re: trend five. i feel like this fits the interior design advice that i give which is basically to collect individual pieces you genuinely love for their own sake even if you aren’t sure that they will all “go” together- because what i think usually happens is that you essentially just end up curating your own aesthetic. the pintrest board of life lol (this is the condensed version of the advice)
@@bandanarathore because the combined aesthetic ends up being- your own! i guess this only works if you’re okay with the possibility of a bit of an eclectic look
@@sea_g0at I love eclectic. Plus I am from India so every state has its own aesthetic and craftwork, and obviously lots of colours so a collection of things from different states somehow ties up in the end.
Counterpoint. Painting is a ton of work if you do it yourself! The taping and moving furniture and prepping walls. And it always looks a bit messy because buying the right tools to make it really clean in all the weird little places is an investment. And it's crazy expensive to have a pro do it. No solution to offer, just wrestling with the high cost of home decor and renovations.
I live in Vienna in a huge typical Altbau which means high ceilings, a stunning wooden floor and a lot of brass. I painted my husband's room in a very dark dramatic blue and I worked with wallpaper myself. I use a few tools which will last me forever as I clean them properly after using. In my opinion it really depends on the paints you work with. Don't use the cheapest when doing intense dramatic colours as they tend to look patchy. Of course it is quite some work but I am very proud when I walk into the rooms I painted or decorated myself.
I dunno. Maybe because I love nearly instant gratification -- but I really like painting and don't find it that hard. Blast some music I love, or a podcast - and tape away, then go to town painting. Voila! Presto-insta-chango!
Painting walls is pretty much instant gratification for me, it's not difficult unless there's a staircase height involved. I can cut in without tape and remix paint dregs into new paints. Even ceilings aren't too bad. The issue is woodwork: I really wanted to play with colour drenching and could just not commit to that much prep knowing that I might need to redo if I just didn't like it.
I’m not sure if I was the only one, but I had a visceral, unpleasant reaction to that floral bedspread under the New Romantics. That plus the red carpet transported me back to my great-aunt’s house in early 90s; everything appeared clean but smelled like an ashtray. I’m down for all the other trends except that one
You say “nasty old-fashioned quilt,” I say “the pattern I actively choose every time I buy a garment or piece of fabric”. I’ve got a corset made of EXACTLY that print, and multiple skirts and dresses and aprons and quilt covers in slight variations. I’m glad the world is finally catching up to me 😂
not sure quite how to phrase this - but would appreciate a video about decors and being afraid to commit. I have a lot of unhung art, plain textiles, white walls, etc the only things I can commit to are sentimental grandad pieces.
Yes to the mood board sharing!!!! No to that mirrored dining room table. What a nightmare. Quite literally I have nights when I’m cleaning in my dreams all night long and this table… hard pass.
That image of mint and apricot looked like the color palette of every millennial's statement necklace/peplum top from 10 years ago 😂 it's the coral + turquoise 2010's trend all over again
I did my bedroom in peach and sea glass three years ago and I still love it. There are lots of neutrals incorporated too. The peach is Benjamin Moore Raleigh Peach on the walls and it’s in an antique Persian rug (with navy, beige, camel, etc). It works really nicely. I highly recommended that paint color for anyone wanting to experiment with peaches. It’s almost like a more vibrant Setting Plaster from Farrow and Ball.
Many designers advise to invest in sofas/chairs in your favorite colors. They don't worry about trends as much as you'd think. Your favorite colors are timeless for YOU. BTW, try the Honest Beauty lip balm in "Lychee Fruit" - it's transparent, non-toxic, and not pink.
Would love to see your moodboards! Your videos always give me so much to chew on when it comes to aesthetics, excited to see you branch out into interiors ☺
I've always gravitated to earthy green, plum, etc. tones + organic structures/textures, but lately I've been adding bright red, yellow, chrome, space age-y elements to my home and really enjoying it. It creates kind of an oddly beautiful contrast. Maybe I'm just being trendy 😝
Not remotely a fan of chrome but your rich organic with accents of mod sounds fully plausible. There's no music with a single note. I'm writing this in a cottagey kitchen under a red metal ceiling light. Similar, in so far as I enjoy interior designers, is very traditional but in slightly off colour mixes. Ben Penreath did a great Collab with William Morris a few years ago.
oh man, i must be even more in my own bubble these days than i thought, because all these images just look so off to me. there's something incredibly inharmonious about all of them.
Those chairs in the last photo are, indeed, exquisite. My home is filled with a combination of antiques and more contemporary decor. I love modern fabrics and refreshing colors. Good luck in your new space. Yes, to sharing mood boards.
I am glad to see we don't have to endure another season of shades of grey, white and marble. I hope we can have a little peek into your decorating. You are having a season, book, baby and boxes. A very energetic season. So excited for you.
I had a dining room in almost that exact ochre (it was a paint purchase mistake, I was in a rush and I went with it) and it turned out to be one of the best rooms I have ever had; I adored that color. It was inviting in the daytime and in evening light. Those "modern organic" rooms all look so deliberate, like hotel rooms; that's going to be such a dated look. If you use those same shades in some more traditional shapes (like a chesterfield sofa or a muted oriental rug) it injects softness and timelessness.
On top of everything else did you buy a house??! I watched a video of yours from about a year ago that popped up as a rec and it's the "contain multitudes cheering me up" video in which you said "I feel like I'm on the precipice of a lot of things" and wow. Just wow. If only she knew the extent 💞
I always have an off white wall. I have dark, mostly antique furniture, a lot of art and sculpture and books. I move through colour accents in my art and textiles. I have a few pieces of Chinese lacquered furniture, high colour upholstery on my modern furniture and a lot of colour on my rugs and Kilims. I have had a lot of colour in my bathrooms and kitchen but I have a cookbook library and white lacquered cabinets. I’ve gone with a soft blue. Maybe I’ll go somewhere else when I remodel the kitchen, if I remodel the kitchen. If you’re moving, get the renovation out of the way before you move in. It becomes much more difficult once you’ve moved in.
This sounds enticing, as though it could be alternatively layered or very spare. I do find good quality paintings can make a space that might otherwise be bare quietly luxurious. I also love kilims.
I really like your videos about trends in fashion and interior design, because it’s all just so like,, novel to me. I’ve never really thought about these things as “trends”, because I’ve always just known that people have different tastes and things that they like-and especially as I’ve grown and gotten older and more independent (I just turned twenty-two), I’ve started to have the freedom and resources to discover/pursue what I like in interiors and fashion, and that’s been really fun. It’s been a little scary, as someone who likes what they like now in interiors and fashion, to see your tastes change, but people grow in more ways than just growing “up”, and it’s no less important. Still, as someone who’s never really been in on the trends, it’s an interesting experience to see them through your perspective-though it does make me ask uncomfortable questions 🗿 What IS liking something? How much of myself is affected by wanting to fit in with what I subconsciously notice around me? I’ve limited my social media consumption to TH-cam, but is that enough to avoid becoming something I am not? How much of my personality is me simply being afraid of being “other”? Do I even like anything? Anyway. There’s a meme I like of Pepe the frog standing on a cliff and looking out on this beautiful mountain scenery, and it says “do not kill the part of you that is cringe; kill the part that cringes.”
If you have a young child, sadly sharp metal furniture and glass don't mix well. Our coffee table went as soon as our son learned to cruise Color can be calming if you choose well with warm, soft undertones. We have a dark green kitchen and a navy blue bedroom and they are both dramatic and yet calm. It helps if the space is otherwise pretty minimalistic and clutter-free
There is a polarization of “going back” to the style you had already loved, already completed to its (your) finest, and already lived with, that won’t allow me to ever repeat. I can take a dash of previous styling, but never fully embrace again.
Mood boards please! I think it may have just been the image of the bedroom used for the botanical trend, or the carpet specifically, but it gives me such McCallister house vibes from Home Alone. Everyone’s house was like that growing up in the 90s-early aughts! I just don’t think I can!
Trending colors, in interiors, fashion, makeup, etc. is one of those double edged swords, in my opinion. It’s great to see a color that you hadn’t thought to explore and have it give you inspiration. And having that be a bit fluid and cyclical is nice. It’s also nice when one of your colors, maybe one that’s a bit off the beaten path, trends, because it makes it easier to find things that delight you. However, color is a very personal thing and can really change your experience, particularly in your home. When I painted my last home I chose colors that delighted me. They made me so happy and made being in my spaces an absolute joy. My house looked like blue and green Easter eggs, somewhat bright pastels but in colors that I found very soothing so it was a wonderful balance. Particularly because I also love black and white so it all worked harmoniously. What I’m trying to get at, is that choosing a color because it is trending is probably an unwise choice. Choosing a color that isn’t trending but is absolutely delightful can be wonderful.
Rich, jewel tones and color have always been in my house! I like minimalism, in the sense of "too much" of any of it, but I love a bright rug or couch or something else acting like a beautiful "decorative" centerpiece, but also being extremely functional.
For my own personal design style, I hateeee this apricot trend and will not be participating, but I agree it can be done well! It just reminds me of icky church basements and also the 2013 explosion of coral and peach, and I just don’t think I can get on board lol. I also saw a video months ago critiquing I think a fashion trend called “grandpa chic” or something, and the reviewer essentially said that it’s a trend where young people artificially try to mimic the eclectic, collected, lifetime of taste and style that many older people have. Trend five in this video reminds me of that critique, but I think it depends on how it’s done! If you go out and try to buy an eclectic, collected, mix matched eras house for yourself at CB2 and West Elm and a couple antique stores all at once, I think it will read as inauthentic. It’s like when you buy brand new clothes that are already distressed or paint splattered - not inherently BAD, it just will not carry that same sense of earned, worn in, loved essence of experience and age that actually well-worn, used clothes naturally have. I think the trend is highlighting something beautiful about the authentic, lived-in, gradually collected homes that many people’s parents and grandparents have, and I don’t think you can achieve that same feeling by buying things (especially new) all at once! AD can call it a trend, but many people just collected home goods throughout their lives when they found beautiful things or when they could afford them and didn’t (and maybe couldn’t) worry about whether they went together or not. I think there is such a deep, homey, enviable beauty in that, and AD is picking up on it rather than seeing that type of interior as low brow or unfashionable. It’s just weird to call it a trend because that means that a lot of people will try to artificially buy new things that look old and considered and collected, and it just will not have the same effect. That being said, an approach of slow collection, of considered purchases, of mixing beautiful design styles, and of buying second-hand and/or handmade pieces wherever possible is what I’m striving for. It goes against the desire to have a perfect home right away because I quite literally cannot afford to buy all the beautiful eclectic vintage and hand-crafted items I want all at once. It has to be a gradual, personal process. You can’t haul your way to an authentically eclectic home, and I’m glad ❤ PLEASE make more of these, I love!!
My partner and I love rich, saturated colors and plan to paint much of the house in this way. The most relaxing room in our house is our bedroom, painted dark purpley brown on the ceiling and deep blue/green on the walls with black trim. It was the first room we painted when we moved in and it just feels so us and so lovely. It's warm, cozy, and sensual.
I love a move towards a jumble of styles--it speaks so much more to personal style & preferences, a collection built over a life, secondhand treasures.
I really love that last dinning room. It looks like a lovely mixture of craftsman and art nouveau with a splash of hollywood regency. I feel like the mixed matched chairs are what makes it really work today, and look like a contemporary albeit luxuriously thrifted room. The fact that the pieces all look like they came from say 1890 to 1920 maybe as late as 1950's gives the room a cohesive vintage look, the pieces match the architecture very well.
I LOVE that jewel tones are back in, they've always been my favorites. i love everything rich and vibrant and deep. this is really speaking to my jewel tone / mid to dark wood / deep florals / plant loving heart. I love stuff that gives you a lot of visual stimulation without being too bright or loud.
Yes to the last noted trend. It’s how I’ve been thinking of decorating for decades. If it’s, as you mentioned, ‘considered’ and there’s a common thread going through the looks - it celebrates the individual qualities of the pieces. Looking forward to your mood boards and hearing about your upcoming adventure in moving and decorating!
I love colour in decor and I have been thumbing my nose at the persistence of neutrals over the last several years. It's interesting that many find neutrals calming, I see them as a canvas to toss some colour and textiles at. 🙂 I want to look around my home and feel inspiration, energy and joy. I look best wearing muted colours so I use decor to include colours and patterns I wouldn't normally feel I could wear. I would love to hear more of this content about colour and design in decor please.
I like the jewel tones one. I find the green tones really calming. But I also think that I am not a trend follower when it comes to my house - I have always just wanted the same thing: calm Scottish woodland with one room being underwater pearly goodness in golden hour. Those please, AD.
I love looking at what’s trending but only to get ideas on what I may do in my own space. Generally I like to mix old and new pieces for a unique look.
I adored this - i was an avid consumer of home design magazines in my 20s and 30s (I'm now approaching 50) and I always find your take and insight on aesthetics and design (in whatever context) so engaging and insightful. Yet more great content from HLP - love to see it ❤
Hannah, this video is so timely for me. My husband and I are just wrapping up an interior rennovation, brought on in part because our 25 year plus furniture is falling apart. One of our goals is to make our house more cohesive and less like, "We tackled one room every five years or so." I think these trends are really appealing. I was not a big fan of the Modern Farmhouse, greige era. I am really drawn to the moodier tones. I'm looking forward to seening what kinds of design decisions you make.
Love this! I’m doing a home renovation and I’ve started the planning process. Replacing my 25 year old carpet for vinyl plank flooring. Hoping to replace bathroom vanity. I didn’t realize the navy blue color for vanities was a trend and now the trend is the soft green you shown today. I’m staying with white or gray vanity and use the green in curtains, towels and other accessories. Gray flooring is considered a trend that’s going out of style, but I love a light natural wood with a soft wash of gray. You need to check out Freddie Mercury’s home. It’s for sale and they say they have not changed anything so it’s Mercury style and it has some of the colors you’ve shown today. It’s really pretty. The dining room walls are a mustard color with a floor lamp with an emerald green shade and cobalt blue glassware.
Decades ago I learned to look in my closet to see what colors I’d love in my home. I saw your “closet” as you were reviewing the amber walls along with the deep red in the background. I look forward to seeing what you do in your new home! I know it will be wonderful!!
Oh yes! I love greyish greens - sage green, moss and olives - and painted my bedroom in that same soft green, with yellow accents (the lampshade on the bedside lamp, the throw blanket, some ornaments) and white (my duvet cover is white and yellow, for instance). And I have incorporated all of those into my wardrobe because I love those colours. I also have terracottas and rust oranges in my wardrobe that I would like to incorporate into other rooms of my home, but I'm limited in what I can do in the house because it's not my house.
your channel popped up and I had a very happy wander. When I view more than 4 vids in a row from the same channel then I subscribe. I really enjoy how articulate and thoughtful you are about every topic you explore. I enjoyed this vid because I adore design and aesthetics and do it on a truly low budget. Thank you for creating such engaging and intelligent content.
Omg this is exactly the kind of thing I needed! I'm also in the process of moving, and I have no earthly clue what I'm doing vis a vis interior decorating. I wouldn't say no to more thoughtful videos about this topic in the future!
can i just say Hannah, everytime I see a video titled "I'm being judgy about X.." im always excited to click into it XD im always like YES i want to hear You be judgy about things in particular. it's always wonderful to hear your thoughts and breakdowns!!!
Friend, I am also moving house, in a mere 2 weeks! The entire process is utterly tumultuous and I cannot wait to be a person who has already completed the process of moving. May your move go (or have gone) as smoothly as can be expected of a relocation of all of your belongings. 💕
I feel like these trends are what ive subconsciously been trying to achieve in my home for years. I was never into the monchromatic beige/grey minimalistic thing, and we're poor so most of my furniture was given to me by family members or thrifted. So the ecclictic colorful mix is already quite present in my house 😂 I literally painted our guest bedroom that warm green of the kitchen cabinets.
I’m so glad that peach is trending! Last year, I painted my remodeled bathroom walls to a lovely shade of peach, along with my white tiles with deep green accent tiles. Our color inspiration came from imagery of Moroccan interiors/coutyards. If I can’t stay outside of trend altogether, I like when I am inadvertently ahead of the trend, so it will hopefully “last” longer.
After I got divorced and moved into my first house that was just mine in over a decade, I realized that I actually hated the all white minimalist Scandinavian modern decor I thought I loved - it was just simple and easy to do without actually saying anything about my own personality (which honestly reflects how I sublimated myself in most of my marriage). Free to decorate any way I wanted to, I ended up with a highly eclectic, almost entirely antique filled gothic Victorian dream house. Part of it was leaning into the architecture of my 1880's house, but mixing eras and sourcing items from estate sales and flea markets was so fun! I am all in on mixing eras and the new romantics. And I love hearing your takes on decor! Looking forward to more interior design talk.
I absolutely loooooove the organic modern styled rooms. Fortunately interior trends can be handled like fashion trends. You can ignore them and concentrate rather on your own style 😊 And maaaaybe add a few tiny trends pieces here and there 😁
I moved In October. I lost everything I owned and had to start over completely. I am so glad I didn’t look to trends or anything of that sort to put my home together. I did what I envisioned and always wanted. Purple/Turquoise, grey & cream/white are my colours and it’s what I have always wanted to do and I don’t think I will ever regret my purple bar stools & splashes of decor! I get so many compliments (not that I did it for other peoples pleasure) but I finally feel content, relaxed, at peace & calm. 🩵💜🩶🤍 Have fun and enjoy designing your new space!
More interiors content please! And funnily enough, this year’s AD trends actually seem to be following what I’m already seeing (for a year or more) on Instagram.
I never regretted going bold with the colours I chose for the room I am currently living in. My furniture is all light wood or offwhite, mostly Ikea or thrifted, and while I couldn't afford new furniture, I decided to go follow my heart's desire with the decor: A dark but warm leaning forest green is my main wall colour, with the piece de resistance being a wallpaper showing an oilpainting panorama of a beech forest as my "headboard wall". The floor is a light wood texture that looks and feels quite real, and for the drapes I chose an ambery brown linen like fall leaves. The result is very cosy, and despite the dark walls it doesn't feel dark at all.
How fun, I just moved! I am very excited to decorate my new place. I agree paint is an more affordable way to add color to a space, but I think I'd rather have a colorful sofa and leave the walls a neutral color. I will have to budget for it, upholstery is not cheap! If anyone has had experience reupholstering their sofa I'd love to hear. Seems like I could just buy a new one for the same price! Good luck with your move Hannah, I hope you'll share more interior design content.
25 year home owner here 👋 what has really helped me is neutral furniture (specifically I choose leather) and antique furniture. When i need a change or i swamp out area rugs, pillows, curtains, even paint....but the most expensive pieces stay neutral. antique furniture, as it is made well, and always on trend, and atleast in Pennsylvania, cheaper than new ❤
I'm 25 seconds in and I just had to stop and say how very much I love your hair in this video. It's my favourite so far, or maybe top 5 now I stop to think of some of your other awesome looks. I'm in awe of how you manage to come up with so many fresh new hair looks all the time.
I worked in purchasing at an interior design firm for 3 years and I’m SO happy that organic modern is going bye bye. that’s ALL we did and it just got old. Happy to see I’m on trend with my faded rust quilt and lavender walls 😂
Agree other than the initial assessment of Millenial pink. It’s always been earthy. Tissue Pink by Benjamin Moore was the iconic example, and it’s almost half brown.
It's like you read my mind. We just moved and there's a lot to do in the way of interior design. So I have been binge watching design videos but the one person whose opinion I would love to hear is yours and then you made this video :D Would love to hear more on the topic such as guidelines in a similar vein of the fashion videos you made.

Counterpoint. Painting is a ton of work if you do it yourself! The taping and moving furniture and prepping walls. And it always looks a bit messy because buying the right tools to make it really clean in all the weird little places is an investment. And it's crazy expensive to have a pro do it. No solution to offer, just wrestling with the high cost of home decor and renovations.
Agreed. Although a nice white is much less difficult. I'd have a pro do any dramatic large color walls!
I live in Vienna in a huge typical Altbau which means high ceilings, a stunning wooden floor and a lot of brass. I painted my husband's room in a very dark dramatic blue and I worked with wallpaper myself. I use a few tools which will last me forever as I clean them properly after using. In my opinion it really depends on the paints you work with. Don't use the cheapest when doing intense dramatic colours as they tend to look patchy.
Of course it is quite some work but I am very proud when I walk into the rooms I painted or decorated myself.
I dunno. Maybe because I love nearly instant gratification -- but I really like painting and don't find it that hard. Blast some music I love, or a podcast - and tape away, then go to town painting. Voila! Presto-insta-chango!
Painting walls is pretty much instant gratification for me, it's not difficult unless there's a staircase height involved. I can cut in without tape and remix paint dregs into new paints. Even ceilings aren't too bad.
The issue is woodwork: I really wanted to play with colour drenching and could just not commit to that much prep knowing that I might need to redo if I just didn't like it.
Yeah it truly can be just as risky
I’m not sure if I was the only one, but I had a visceral, unpleasant reaction to that floral bedspread under the New Romantics. That plus the red carpet transported me back to my great-aunt’s house in early 90s; everything appeared clean but smelled like an ashtray. I’m down for all the other trends except that one
Oh my god does this sum it up 😂
At 45 years old, that bedspread was just too triggering of a very unaesthetic childhood 😂
It's the itchy 80's couch we all watched The Price is Right on while we were sick. LOL!
Complete with wallpaper borders, potpourri, and photo albums decorated with lace and hot glue.
And always made of some terrible polyester fake cotton!!
Haha I’m ready for this one to come back, potpourri and all!
I can feel it. Like, on my body (shivers).
You say “nasty old-fashioned quilt,” I say “the pattern I actively choose every time I buy a garment or piece of fabric”. I’ve got a corset made of EXACTLY that print, and multiple skirts and dresses and aprons and quilt covers in slight variations. I’m glad the world is finally catching up to me 😂
not sure quite how to phrase this - but would appreciate a video about decors and being afraid to commit. I have a lot of unhung art, plain textiles, white walls, etc the only things I can commit to are sentimental grandad pieces.
Oh gosh same here. There's always a wall without art or a box of decor I've never unpacked in every apartment I've lived.
The stonefruit chic faux cat is killing me
It appears at 5:13 😹
If you zoom in, I think the whole window is a painting.
I didn't realize it was fake but was really distracted wondering how it got way up in that window.
Yes to the mood board sharing!!!! No to that mirrored dining room table. What a nightmare. Quite literally I have nights when I’m cleaning in my dreams all night long and this table… hard pass.
YES! More interiors!!! I love this.
When it comes to trending colors I think a great way to embrace the impermanence is to buy flowers for your home. (Or grow them) 💐
This is so nice 🥹
That image of mint and apricot looked like the color palette of every millennial's statement necklace/peplum top from 10 years ago 😂 it's the coral + turquoise 2010's trend all over again
And I love turquoise and coral !😂
YES PLEASE I’m here for any and all interior content you want to do! Would love to see how you curate your new space!!
My queen arrived just as I looking for something to watch. ♥️♥️♥️
Isn’t it the best when that happens 😂❤
"I've always been a huge fan of beautiful shiny things"
*Zooms to the lamp in the background*
I laughed so much
Well done 😂
I did my bedroom in peach and sea glass three years ago and I still love it. There are lots of neutrals incorporated too. The peach is Benjamin Moore Raleigh Peach on the walls and it’s in an antique Persian rug (with navy, beige, camel, etc). It works really nicely. I highly recommended that paint color for anyone wanting to experiment with peaches. It’s almost like a more vibrant Setting Plaster from Farrow and Ball.
Many designers advise to invest in sofas/chairs in your favorite colors. They don't worry about trends as much as you'd think. Your favorite colors are timeless for YOU. BTW, try the Honest Beauty lip balm in "Lychee Fruit" - it's transparent, non-toxic, and not pink.
Would love to see your moodboards! Your videos always give me so much to chew on when it comes to aesthetics, excited to see you branch out into interiors ☺
I've always gravitated to earthy green, plum, etc. tones + organic structures/textures, but lately I've been adding bright red, yellow, chrome, space age-y elements to my home and really enjoying it. It creates kind of an oddly beautiful contrast. Maybe I'm just being trendy 😝
Not remotely a fan of chrome but your rich organic with accents of mod sounds fully plausible. There's no music with a single note. I'm writing this in a cottagey kitchen under a red metal ceiling light.
Similar, in so far as I enjoy interior designers, is very traditional but in slightly off colour mixes. Ben Penreath did a great Collab with William Morris a few years ago.
oh man, i must be even more in my own bubble these days than i thought, because all these images just look so off to me. there's something incredibly inharmonious about all of them.
I thought they might be AI generated.
Those chairs in the last photo are, indeed, exquisite. My home is filled with a combination of antiques and more contemporary decor. I love modern fabrics and refreshing colors. Good luck in your new space. Yes, to sharing mood boards.
I am glad to see we don't have to endure another season of shades of grey, white and marble. I hope we can have a little peek into your decorating. You are having a season, book, baby and boxes. A very energetic season. So excited for you.
I had a dining room in almost that exact ochre (it was a paint purchase mistake, I was in a rush and I went with it) and it turned out to be one of the best rooms I have ever had; I adored that color. It was inviting in the daytime and in evening light. Those "modern organic" rooms all look so deliberate, like hotel rooms; that's going to be such a dated look. If you use those same shades in some more traditional shapes (like a chesterfield sofa or a muted oriental rug) it injects softness and timelessness.
On top of everything else did you buy a house??! I watched a video of yours from about a year ago that popped up as a rec and it's the "contain multitudes cheering me up" video in which you said "I feel like I'm on the precipice of a lot of things" and wow. Just wow. If only she knew the extent 💞
I always have an off white wall. I have dark, mostly antique furniture, a lot of art and sculpture and books. I move through colour accents in my art and textiles. I have a few pieces of Chinese lacquered furniture, high colour upholstery on my modern furniture and a lot of colour on my rugs and Kilims. I have had a lot of colour in my bathrooms and kitchen but I have a cookbook library and white lacquered cabinets. I’ve gone with a soft blue. Maybe I’ll go somewhere else when I remodel the kitchen, if I remodel the kitchen. If you’re moving, get the renovation out of the way before you move in. It becomes much more difficult once you’ve moved in.
This sounds enticing, as though it could be alternatively layered or very spare. I do find good quality paintings can make a space that might otherwise be bare quietly luxurious. I also love kilims.
I really like your videos about trends in fashion and interior design, because it’s all just so like,, novel to me. I’ve never really thought about these things as “trends”, because I’ve always just known that people have different tastes and things that they like-and especially as I’ve grown and gotten older and more independent (I just turned twenty-two), I’ve started to have the freedom and resources to discover/pursue what I like in interiors and fashion, and that’s been really fun. It’s been a little scary, as someone who likes what they like now in interiors and fashion, to see your tastes change, but people grow in more ways than just growing “up”, and it’s no less important. Still, as someone who’s never really been in on the trends, it’s an interesting experience to see them through your perspective-though it does make me ask uncomfortable questions 🗿 What IS liking something? How much of myself is affected by wanting to fit in with what I subconsciously notice around me? I’ve limited my social media consumption to TH-cam, but is that enough to avoid becoming something I am not? How much of my personality is me simply being afraid of being “other”? Do I even like anything?
Anyway. There’s a meme I like of Pepe the frog standing on a cliff and looking out on this beautiful mountain scenery, and it says “do not kill the part of you that is cringe; kill the part that cringes.”
If you have a young child, sadly sharp metal furniture and glass don't mix well. Our coffee table went as soon as our son learned to cruise
Color can be calming if you choose well with warm, soft undertones. We have a dark green kitchen and a navy blue bedroom and they are both dramatic and yet calm. It helps if the space is otherwise pretty minimalistic and clutter-free
There is a polarization of “going back” to the style you had already loved, already completed to its (your) finest, and already lived with, that won’t allow me to ever repeat. I can take a dash of previous styling, but never fully embrace again.
Peach and apricot feel like salmon and coral trying to chase me down from the 60s. Nope, no thank you.
I literally said “Oooo!!!” out loud before clicking on this video. Excited to hear your thoughts!
Mood boards please! I think it may have just been the image of the bedroom used for the botanical trend, or the carpet specifically, but it gives me such McCallister house vibes from Home Alone. Everyone’s house was like that growing up in the 90s-early aughts! I just don’t think I can!
Trending colors, in interiors, fashion, makeup, etc. is one of those double edged swords, in my opinion.
It’s great to see a color that you hadn’t thought to explore and have it give you inspiration. And having that be a bit fluid and cyclical is nice.
It’s also nice when one of your colors, maybe one that’s a bit off the beaten path, trends, because it makes it easier to find things that delight you.
However, color is a very personal thing and can really change your experience, particularly in your home.
When I painted my last home I chose colors that delighted me. They made me so happy and made being in my spaces an absolute joy. My house looked like blue and green Easter eggs, somewhat bright pastels but in colors that I found very soothing so it was a wonderful balance. Particularly because I also love black and white so it all worked harmoniously.
What I’m trying to get at, is that choosing a color because it is trending is probably an unwise choice. Choosing a color that isn’t trending but is absolutely delightful can be wonderful.
Rich, jewel tones and color have always been in my house! I like minimalism, in the sense of "too much" of any of it, but I love a bright rug or couch or something else acting like a beautiful "decorative" centerpiece, but also being extremely functional.
Love all your thoughts as usual!
For my own personal design style, I hateeee this apricot trend and will not be participating, but I agree it can be done well! It just reminds me of icky church basements and also the 2013 explosion of coral and peach, and I just don’t think I can get on board lol.
I also saw a video months ago critiquing I think a fashion trend called “grandpa chic” or something, and the reviewer essentially said that it’s a trend where young people artificially try to mimic the eclectic, collected, lifetime of taste and style that many older people have. Trend five in this video reminds me of that critique, but I think it depends on how it’s done!
If you go out and try to buy an eclectic, collected, mix matched eras house for yourself at CB2 and West Elm and a couple antique stores all at once, I think it will read as inauthentic. It’s like when you buy brand new clothes that are already distressed or paint splattered - not inherently BAD, it just will not carry that same sense of earned, worn in, loved essence of experience and age that actually well-worn, used clothes naturally have.
I think the trend is highlighting something beautiful about the authentic, lived-in, gradually collected homes that many people’s parents and grandparents have, and I don’t think you can achieve that same feeling by buying things (especially new) all at once! AD can call it a trend, but many people just collected home goods throughout their lives when they found beautiful things or when they could afford them and didn’t (and maybe couldn’t) worry about whether they went together or not. I think there is such a deep, homey, enviable beauty in that, and AD is picking up on it rather than seeing that type of interior as low brow or unfashionable. It’s just weird to call it a trend because that means that a lot of people will try to artificially buy new things that look old and considered and collected, and it just will not have the same effect.
That being said, an approach of slow collection, of considered purchases, of mixing beautiful design styles, and of buying second-hand and/or handmade pieces wherever possible is what I’m striving for. It goes against the desire to have a perfect home right away because I quite literally cannot afford to buy all the beautiful eclectic vintage and hand-crafted items I want all at once. It has to be a gradual, personal process. You can’t haul your way to an authentically eclectic home, and I’m glad ❤
PLEASE make more of these, I love!!
My partner and I love rich, saturated colors and plan to paint much of the house in this way. The most relaxing room in our house is our bedroom, painted dark purpley brown on the ceiling and deep blue/green on the walls with black trim. It was the first room we painted when we moved in and it just feels so us and so lovely. It's warm, cozy, and sensual.
Hannah talking about interior design, yeah!!! I have been so interested in that recently that it feels like you have read my mind. Thank you for this.
I’d love to see your mood boards! Because of your artistic background, I’m always curious about your opinions on design.
I love a move towards a jumble of styles--it speaks so much more to personal style & preferences, a collection built over a life, secondhand treasures.
I really love that last dinning room. It looks like a lovely mixture of craftsman and art nouveau with a splash of hollywood regency. I feel like the mixed matched chairs are what makes it really work today, and look like a contemporary albeit luxuriously thrifted room. The fact that the pieces all look like they came from say 1890 to 1920 maybe as late as 1950's gives the room a cohesive vintage look, the pieces match the architecture very well.
I LOVE that jewel tones are back in, they've always been my favorites. i love everything rich and vibrant and deep. this is really speaking to my jewel tone / mid to dark wood / deep florals / plant loving heart. I love stuff that gives you a lot of visual stimulation without being too bright or loud.
Yes to the last noted trend. It’s how I’ve been thinking of decorating for decades. If it’s, as you mentioned, ‘considered’ and there’s a common thread going through the looks - it celebrates the individual qualities of the pieces. Looking forward to your mood boards and hearing about your upcoming adventure in moving and decorating!
I love colour in decor and I have been thumbing my nose at the persistence of neutrals over the last several years. It's interesting that many find neutrals calming, I see them as a canvas to toss some colour and textiles at. 🙂 I want to look around my home and feel inspiration, energy and joy. I look best wearing muted colours so I use decor to include colours and patterns I wouldn't normally feel I could wear. I would love to hear more of this content about colour and design in decor please.
I like the jewel tones one. I find the green tones really calming. But I also think that I am not a trend follower when it comes to my house - I have always just wanted the same thing: calm Scottish woodland with one room being underwater pearly goodness in golden hour. Those please, AD.
That. Sounds. Like. HEAVEN. 😍
I died at your "Jaclyn Hill's house" crack😆Meow ;)
I love looking at what’s trending but only to get ideas on what I may do in my own space. Generally I like to mix old and new pieces for a unique look.
I adored this - i was an avid consumer of home design magazines in my 20s and 30s (I'm now approaching 50) and I always find your take and insight on aesthetics and design (in whatever context) so engaging and insightful. Yet more great content from HLP - love to see it ❤
Hannah, this video is so timely for me. My husband and I are just wrapping up an interior rennovation, brought on in part because our 25 year plus furniture is falling apart. One of our goals is to make our house more cohesive and less like, "We tackled one room every five years or so." I think these trends are really appealing. I was not a big fan of the Modern Farmhouse, greige era. I am really drawn to the moodier tones. I'm looking forward to seening what kinds of design decisions you make.
Yes to sharing your mood boards and process of redesigning & decorating. Moving, eh?
Greens and blues can be very calming and still give you the color you want.
Love this! I’m doing a home renovation and I’ve started the planning process. Replacing my 25 year old carpet for vinyl plank flooring. Hoping to replace bathroom vanity. I didn’t realize the navy blue color for vanities was a trend and now the trend is the soft green you shown today. I’m staying with white or gray vanity and use the green in curtains, towels and other accessories. Gray flooring is considered a trend that’s going out of style, but I love a light natural wood with a soft wash of gray.
You need to check out Freddie Mercury’s home. It’s for sale and they say they have not changed anything so it’s Mercury style and it has some of the colors you’ve shown today. It’s really pretty. The dining room walls are a mustard color with a floor lamp with an emerald green shade and cobalt blue glassware.
The gray, driftwood style flooring will never be out of style in coastal areas.
OMG my favorite TH-camr finally talks about my favorite topic ❤
This was so fun to watch. That kitchen with the leafy wallpaper really works for me. I like how they put it all together.
Ok I’m definitely going to want to see more interior content from you. Can’t wait to hear about decorating the new place!!
Decades ago I learned to look in my closet to see what colors I’d love in my home. I saw your “closet” as you were reviewing the amber walls along with the deep red in the background. I look forward to seeing what you do in your new home! I know it will be wonderful!!
Oh yes! I love greyish greens - sage green, moss and olives - and painted my bedroom in that same soft green, with yellow accents (the lampshade on the bedside lamp, the throw blanket, some ornaments) and white (my duvet cover is white and yellow, for instance). And I have incorporated all of those into my wardrobe because I love those colours. I also have terracottas and rust oranges in my wardrobe that I would like to incorporate into other rooms of my home, but I'm limited in what I can do in the house because it's not my house.
your channel popped up and I had a very happy wander. When I view more than 4 vids in a row from the same channel then I subscribe. I really enjoy how articulate and thoughtful you are about every topic you explore. I enjoyed this vid because I adore design and aesthetics and do it on a truly low budget. Thank you for creating such engaging and intelligent content.
I love the mixing eras trend. anything where you can get amazing use of vintage or hand-me-down pieces!
Omg this is exactly the kind of thing I needed! I'm also in the process of moving, and I have no earthly clue what I'm doing vis a vis interior decorating. I wouldn't say no to more thoughtful videos about this topic in the future!
can i just say Hannah, everytime I see a video titled "I'm being judgy about X.." im always excited to click into it XD im always like YES i want to hear You be judgy about things in particular. it's always wonderful to hear your thoughts and breakdowns!!!
Friend, I am also moving house, in a mere 2 weeks!
The entire process is utterly tumultuous and I cannot wait to be a person who has already completed the process of moving.
May your move go (or have gone) as smoothly as can be expected of a relocation of all of your belongings. 💕
i was years deep in hannah videos so i was delighted to have new content to watch ❣️
Your song at the end was… **chef’s kiss**. I too make up songs like this. Kindred spirit, if I ever saw one.
I feel like these trends are what ive subconsciously been trying to achieve in my home for years. I was never into the monchromatic beige/grey minimalistic thing, and we're poor so most of my furniture was given to me by family members or thrifted. So the ecclictic colorful mix is already quite present in my house 😂 I literally painted our guest bedroom that warm green of the kitchen cabinets.
I’m so glad that peach is trending! Last year, I painted my remodeled bathroom walls to a lovely shade of peach, along with my white tiles with deep green accent tiles. Our color inspiration came from imagery of Moroccan interiors/coutyards. If I can’t stay outside of trend altogether, I like when I am inadvertently ahead of the trend, so it will hopefully “last” longer.
After I got divorced and moved into my first house that was just mine in over a decade, I realized that I actually hated the all white minimalist Scandinavian modern decor I thought I loved - it was just simple and easy to do without actually saying anything about my own personality (which honestly reflects how I sublimated myself in most of my marriage). Free to decorate any way I wanted to, I ended up with a highly eclectic, almost entirely antique filled gothic Victorian dream house. Part of it was leaning into the architecture of my 1880's house, but mixing eras and sourcing items from estate sales and flea markets was so fun! I am all in on mixing eras and the new romantics. And I love hearing your takes on decor! Looking forward to more interior design talk.
I absolutely loooooove the organic modern styled rooms. Fortunately interior trends can be handled like fashion trends. You can ignore them and concentrate rather on your own style 😊
And maaaaybe add a few tiny trends pieces here and there 😁
I moved In October. I lost everything I owned and had to start over completely. I am so glad I didn’t look to trends or anything of that sort to put my home together. I did what I envisioned and always wanted. Purple/Turquoise, grey & cream/white are my colours and it’s what I have always wanted to do and I don’t think I will ever regret my purple bar stools & splashes of decor! I get so many compliments (not that I did it for other peoples pleasure) but I finally feel content, relaxed, at peace & calm. 🩵💜🩶🤍
Have fun and enjoy designing your new space!
More interiors content please! And funnily enough, this year’s AD trends actually seem to be following what I’m already seeing (for a year or more) on Instagram.
love the art deco chairs in the last picture
I would love to see your mood boards, more interior design content, and also just hear more about your move. 😸💜🌻
I never regretted going bold with the colours I chose for the room I am currently living in. My furniture is all light wood or offwhite, mostly Ikea or thrifted, and while I couldn't afford new furniture, I decided to go follow my heart's desire with the decor: A dark but warm leaning forest green is my main wall colour, with the piece de resistance being a wallpaper showing an oilpainting panorama of a beech forest as my "headboard wall". The floor is a light wood texture that looks and feels quite real, and for the drapes I chose an ambery brown linen like fall leaves. The result is very cosy, and despite the dark walls it doesn't feel dark at all.
How fun, I just moved! I am very excited to decorate my new place. I agree paint is an more affordable way to add color to a space, but I think I'd rather have a colorful sofa and leave the walls a neutral color. I will have to budget for it, upholstery is not cheap! If anyone has had experience reupholstering their sofa I'd love to hear. Seems like I could just buy a new one for the same price! Good luck with your move Hannah, I hope you'll share more interior design content.
Yes! Mood boards!! ❤
I’m interested to hear your thoughts in decorating the whole house to sort of match each other, versus individual rooms having their own style.
25 year home owner here 👋 what has really helped me is neutral furniture (specifically I choose leather) and antique furniture. When i need a change or i swamp out area rugs, pillows, curtains, even paint....but the most expensive pieces stay neutral. antique furniture, as it is made well, and always on trend, and atleast in Pennsylvania, cheaper than new ❤
Love using upholsterers and restoring and mixing eras - as you say xx
I laughed when you focused on your metal lamp when talking about the metal trend. Best of luck in moving house!
Your book came in the mail today! Cant wait to be distraction free, make some tea, and dive in.
I'm 25 seconds in and I just had to stop and say how very much I love your hair in this video. It's my favourite so far, or maybe top 5 now I stop to think of some of your other awesome looks. I'm in awe of how you manage to come up with so many fresh new hair looks all the time.
I worked in purchasing at an interior design firm for 3 years and I’m SO happy that organic modern is going bye bye. that’s ALL we did and it just got old. Happy to see I’m on trend with my faded rust quilt and lavender walls 😂
Idk if this makes any sense but the way you speak and describe things is with such texture it really satisfies my brains 😅
Agree other than the initial assessment of Millenial pink. It’s always been earthy. Tissue Pink by Benjamin Moore was the iconic example, and it’s almost half brown.
More interior design content PLEASE 😆
Love videos like this! Just listening to you process your thoughts on aesthetics and consumption is a delight 🧡
I love the idea of sharing the moodboards!
I'm so here for the peach!
I hope Nick Lewis watches this video! Hehe
definitely share your mood boards
My husband and i are going to repaint our living areas and i am excited to bring colour in with the paint
WHAT Is happening in that kitchen with the wallpapered dishwasher!! I'm a diehard maximalist and even I was like "wow, might be a bit much" 😂
Hey, I love my purple couch! But also I'm super happy I can just buy another set of covers for it in a different color if I wanted to.
It's like you read my mind. We just moved and there's a lot to do in the way of interior design. So I have been binge watching design videos but the one person whose opinion I would love to hear is yours and then you made this video :D Would love to hear more on the topic such as guidelines in a similar vein of the fashion videos you made.
Yes pls, want another video!!
I just stalled on watching to check out your Pinterest board image. Have since been down a chandelier rabbit hole
❤ This inspired me to rewatch you design videos from when you just moved into your current space.
