Love you, Nick [and a subscriber], but Arvin is right on this. Get the best blackout blinds and/or curtains you can afford. This makes so much sense *especially* these days when for many people bedrooms are having to double up as 'office' space for people working from home.
After I divorced I made a very dark bedroom, to cocoon and heal. And now I'm watching you to learn how I can bring back the light. And I'm loving it 😍 can't wait to paint 🎨
"Desert Modern" is technically what "Boho" is inspired by. The Bohemian life style is all about world travel, art, music, different textures, and items that mean something to you. Macrame is actually more vintage inspired than Boho, but the two seem to have merged somewhere along the way. I have a lot of 60's and 70's inspired things in my space which is why my macrame feels more authentic to its cause. Hell, I have a LAVA LAMP in my bedroom, so the macrame is spot on. It's not for everyone and I have a feeling mine will stick with me long after everyone else has donated theirs to the Goodwill.😆
Yessss...agreed..im not changing a thing when it comes to boho but will include some of this "desert whatever " style..calling the boho style immature was a bit much..its more of an experience of lifestyle, sacred..ugh
Macrame actually stems from Middle-Eastern culture, so the "desert modern" vibe that Boho is going for actually makes sense. Macrame might be vintage to people who grew up during the 70s era and treat it as a "trend", but to us Arabians, Macrame is timeless and an important part of our history.
That's exactly what I'm saying. It feels the same to me. Both are beautiful. He's worried about boho being too Over done... desert modern isn't far behind. Off to ikea for both looks lol
Finally! Someone else who loves Target's sheets! Bought ours 5 years ago because we had a new bed and I just needed something to use until I could find something "nicer". Five years later we're still using & loving them and I haven't found anything I liked better with a reasonable price tag.
So funny to happen upon this comment. We just bought some filler Target percale sheets because we got a king bed and had nothing else, but actually love them!
I love dark walls in the bedroom. Done well could be so nice. Bed frames could be tasteful in any style depends on the style of house, ceiling height, light. There are a lot of very tacky modern bed frames too. Not everything has to be linen, just because it’s trendy at the moment. Silk pillow cases ( not a cheap shiny ones) feel so good on your skin.
Advice on bedding from a textile technologist. Always check the fibre content. Thread count means fuck all if it is a polyester or polyamide. Yeah you can get 800 thread count polyester sheets for way less than 400 thread count 100% cotton sheets but you are you going to sweat swimming pools. Thread count is the density of yarns per inch or per cm of fabirc. The higher the thread count, the longer the fibres, the finer the yarns, the softer it feels. Polyester absorbs less than 1% of its weight in water, polyamide will absorb around 3%, linen absorbs around 20%, cotton around 25%, wool and silk absorb around 30% of it weight. If a fibre absorbs more water, it's going to be able to absorb your sweat, remove it from your body so you don't overheat. Satin is a fabric construction, it is a type of weave and can be made from literally any fibre. The structure of the satin/sateen fabric helps aid the shiny appearance. Jersey is also a fabric construction, it is a type of knit and can be made from most fibres except probably kevlar, and carbon cause they don't like to be bent. I personally go for cotton or linen (cellulose 1) or regenerated cellulose such as viscose(UK/EU)/Rayon(US), lycoell, tencel, or modal (cellulose 2). If you are doing cotton but are hesistant on its sustainability, the best cotton you can get will have a Better Cotton Initiative (BCI) tag. This will increase the price but it has the best practices globally. Egyptian cotton is more expensive because the fibres are naturally longer than other cottons and they produce finer yarns = higher thread count and softer feel.
This is my favourite kind of comment, apart from those wildly hilarious people who sometimes comment. Full of practical and technical information I can actually *understand*. Thanks!
Thanks for the great advice. I need new sheets for summer here in New Zealand and getting myself all confused and worked up about thread counts. This is super helpful!
Thank God. Someone who knows what they are talking about.Linen is my first choice except that sometimes it can actually smell quite earthy/ fruity if you have a keen sense of smell as I do. Fitted sheets also tend be large than necessary too.
@@TheEmzies Maaaaaaaaate.... just go with 100% cotton.....NOT " Cotton Rich"....... ( dont be fooled by some of the titles.) It's always dearer, but worth it! so looking forward to SUMMER IN THE WAIRARAPA!!
YES YES YESSS!! Boho has taken on a life of its own so much that isn't even boho anymore. Boho & farmhouse & beachy can be stunning if they're done well, but the single-style campy themes are NOT doing it for me.
This couldn’t have gone at a more perfect time. I was literally just standing in the middle of my very confused main bedroom wondering “What the hell am I even doing in here?” 😂
I just did my bedroom in boho, and I absolutely love it!!! I was already a plant Mom soo the transition was very easy. With the white, cream, beige and terrocotta hues are very soothing for me.
As a designer I think it’s very important to add BLACK to every room. Paint closet doors black. Vanities look more updated and high end in black. Lamp shades. Black makes everything look better in any room.
I just painted my bedroom a dark navy blue a few months ago but I love it! All my bedding, curtains and furniture are light to balance it out. I could see how it wouldn't be everyone's cup of tea but you won't know if you'll like it if you don't try it. Fortunately paint is relatively cheap.
Too often, homes have the same color scheme ! The same oak hardwood flooring, beige walls and beige this and that like…we have colors for a reason. I like your individuality in choosing navy blue 👌🏽👌🏽
I am NOT going to change my boho bedroom. I took Baiyina Hugeley's style quiz, and it confirmed that my style is boho. I need intense colors, different textures, lots of pillows, and layered rugs. Macrame wall hangings are very cool and creative. The Bohemian style is not fake, artificial, or cliche. It is beautiful, interesting, and creative. This style is not going anywhere. How can a style be cliche? We each like what we like. Desert modern is just a scaled back version of bohemian.
OH MY GOD GIRL, CABLE MANAGEMENT CAN MAKE OR BREAK A WHOLE ROOM. I'm currently in the middle of revamping my bedroom and one of my biggest gripes was cable management. Not only from lamps and charging stations, but from my artist desk. Trust me when I say, 👏TAKE👏 THE 👏TIME TO DO PROPPER CABLE MANAGEMENT. Your space will look and FEEL so much better!!! 🌟
Holy Desert Modern!! Thank you Arvin, for solving my dilemma on which way to go on my blank- slate bedroom. LOVE IT for so many reasons...minimal, fresh & clean, but with terra-cotta hotness and my favorite pop of black contrast thrown in, too. I just squeeled and the cat jumped!
I’ve already bought three sets of those damn curtains. 😂 I absolutely love them. The weights in the bottom are just right, so they hang so beautifully!
I actually just recently remodeled my room. I did a shiplap feature wall with black. While the rest is a warm beige. Replaced my carpet with warm brown hard wood floors. All accent colors are all warm earthy tones. Most definitely a warm inviting space ✨
Here's something I learned when I was fully 40 years old and have stuck to ever since. If you are lucky enough to have a bedroom that only guests will sleep in, don't buy a bed with a 'footer' for it. You can still have an elaborate/ornate headboard if that's your thing, but some of us need a few extra inches at the end of the bed without having to bend our knees to avoid our feet touching a hard surface. I am a female of 5ft 9, btw, and there have been times when I have departed from a perfect mattress [on an otherwise lovely bed with a footboard] and slept on a pile of cushions or a fold-out bed just so I can sleep with my legs out straight. I will make a wild guess that a lot of men will agree with me.
As a petite person, even I deal with this. I also hate having my feet or calves hanging off the bed when laying diagonally or across, so I always add a nice long ottoman at the end of all my beds. 1. They double as storage. 2. They offer a place to set down your purse, lay out your jammies, set aside extra pillows, or to throw off the duvet when it gets too hot (better than ending up on the floor). 2. They also provide a seating area to put on socks or to just plain sit somewhere while talking/scrolling on the phone.
Desert Modern looks great. My personal style is Desert Southwest since I grew up in New Mexico. FYI I do have a relatively dark paint in my bedroom with heavy furniture. Very masculine, but softened with Pueblo pottery. Love your channel.
I can see so many creative new directions boho can choose when it's finally up against the inevitable fork-in-the-road of adulthood: desert modern is good, but it could also seamlessly mature into Japandi or Wabi Sabi or Balinese vernacular.
AGREED. As a teen I loved boho. I loved how it looked so whimsical and artistic, all while being cozy at the same time. But now my style is definitely more japandi/ wabi sabi. The core of neutrals still remain, I guess it just matured. Those gaudy, mass-produced boho prints have got to go, but what I still love are the warm neutral colours like terracotta, olive, cream, etc which are even relevant in Arvin’s personal style. The “artsy” part now comes in textures and sculptures. Even traditionally boho decor like macrame and prints can be done in good taste, when hand-woven by true artists; it’s the mass-production that ruins the authenticity of it all, which is probably what Arvin dislikes in it. And that casual, forest-y, “untouched” look of boho greenery (hanging above the bed, in odd corners, etc) is just a nightmare to maintain in an actual bedroom 😂
To the hanging cords...YES! It is so easy to cut a hole right behind where the tv will hang. Then cut a hole down next to the plug in. My husband and I did this. We went to Home Depot and got a couple of the outlet plates that have the rectangular holes to give it a finished look, even though the top hole is covered by the TV and the bottom hole is covered by the console table. It looks so good! No stray nose hairs for us!
I think the problem with these decorating styles like Boho, Farmhouse, Beach, etc., is that they are over-decorated-people put in EVERY Boho item they ever saw or make everything down to the switch plates match the theme-No need to beat us over the head with it! We get it! I think your advice about restraint is the best I have heard in a long time. It could go a long way in saving some of these themes that people are so in love with.
LOVE me a moody dark cave to sleep in! ANY room dark can be gorgeous! Not depressing at all. Totally elevating like a beautifully style hotel over here!
Desert modern - I can totally get onboard with that! I think I have been trending that way for a while without knowing what to call it. Recently got some decorative pillow covers from Woven Nook that are right on point with that whole vibe.
Hi Arvin sorry I have silk or satin bedding cuz I have back problems and with those sheets I can easy move around and yes I have blk out curtains for when I want to sleep in only 😂
Yayyy...someone agrees with me in the dark paint colors!!🎉🎊 I was waiting for you to Sally you who. You didn't 😢. I have always loved the natural look of woods and colors. I live in Florida, so we keep black out curtains up in the summer. If you don't it gets ever hotter in you home. The winter we change them out or just keep them open to let the sun in. I just love your personality.
Yes. The curtains are FIRE! They totally elevated the look of my living room. The panels are so wide, I only needed one pair to make my windows look full.
I did the desert modern in my main living room a year ago and SO glad I did. I have 3 little ones and seriously this color palette is the best at hiding dirt from the kids 😂 the ivory, blacks, and pops of terracotta are the best! Do it.
Hi 👋. I like your style.i hope if you will give us in next videos the ideas how to decorate small studio apartment (colors,fourniture,dividers..).thank you⭐
Never cared for satin or silk bedding. But, we did paint our last bedroom in Night Owl & it worked great because it was a ridiculously large bedroom/ sitting area & we had several windows.
I have 2 64” wide windows in my bedroom. The dark walls fits the mood perfectly. It adds a designer flair without paying for a designer. If you love dark bedroom, tv room, or library, I highly recommend Knoxville Gray by Benjamin Moore.
i got the best compliment for my boho/eclectic apartment recently 'nothing matches, but it all goes together. not in a magazine sense, but a homey mismatched way'. the best. no but seriously, the boho thing i getting out of hand. it used to be how us broke people were allowed to have a style that didnt break the bank, now the baskets at goodwill are getting sooooooo expensive
Arvin, thank you SO freakin much for introducing me to Casaluna bedding. The hubs and I recently redid the guest room but also needed new sheets for the master bedroom and we are in love. No joke, my husband woke up the next morning and could only talk about how good the sheets are! xoxo
I’m an ex boho lover (still can’t pry the wicker baskets out of my dead hands haha) - this new desert modern is giving me LIFE!!!! Please, PLEASE do a dedicated video on how to achieve this look!!!!! Love ya!
Totally agree on dark bedroom color and silk bedding- like sleeping in a coffin! Yikes. "Boy Smells"- what a great concept! You cracked me up with the hanging wires like being untrimmed nose hairs and not wanting to sleep on wood- maybe. Ha!
You can’t stop me from getting my black bedroom Arvin!! 😂😂🤣
I love your banter with each other! 2 designers with good taste 😘...hahah that was cute!
🤣🤣🤣
Don’t let me stop you Dracula 🧛♂️ 🦇 😂 lmao
I have to laugh…Nick I immediately thought of you the minute he said to get rid of the dark walls!

What I love about Arvin is
1. His recommendations are usually spot on
2. He cracks himself up.
Love your channel.💞
So funny just love this guy..love your tips
That giggle is EVERYTHING!
Really! I think his giggling sounds a tad ‘put on’ and forced.
And that scream. LOL
Soo agree! Like when he giggles after describing something he finds disgusting is such a neutral version of sass that I love!
@@borleyboo5613 it might be but I personally find it entertaining and funny
I know! His videos almost put a smile on my face.
I’ll never give up my 100% Mulberry Silk pillowcases! My hair & skin is so much better. But yeah, no to the whole polyester/satin bedding look.
I know its been 2 years but I'm glad I found this comment, did some research and now I'm considering silk pillowscases and blankets
"Nobody asked", is a good enough disclaimer. After saying that, anyone having a problem with your videos are just PETTY. Love you Arvin!!!
Lmao!!!! 😂🙌🏼
I can't even be mad when you drag my boho bedroom because that laugh!!!! It is EVERYTHING!
When Arvin makes dirty jokes, you can see on his face, he's thinking: "should I really make this joke rn?" Lmao
No! he says: “I feel I have to make that joke! It’s in my blood biatches”
11:12 OMG, he went there! Arvin, do you kiss your mother with that mouth?
I’m not trying to hate but his laugh is annoying.
@@mrm252 well I love his laugh but to each their own
And then he does that little delighted laugh after he does it. It’s infectious and I laugh every time!

Coz u made a good balance to your room brightness so it's still pleasant.
Or people could get peel and stick wall paper. And if they don’t like the color peel it off. No harm no foul.
@@desssybee omg yes ! It def beats painting !
If you have beautiful millwork, painting that white as contrast to the dark walls, is so architectural and gorgeous too.
I am NOT going to change my boho bedroom. I took Baiyina Hugeley's style quiz, and it confirmed that my style is boho.

Sorry Arvin! I am definitely keeping my macramè, my macramè hanging plants & my boho accents! Love♥️ the bohemian vibe so much, girl!
Me too. Just moved into my new place and I'm totally going for the boho vibe.
Black macrame is having a moment in my house!
Absolutely! I think his version had a little more masculine vibe to it. I think the macrame is a sweet touch!
Painted my bedroom a dark green and it’s beautiful and feels cosy and comfortable. Awesome Arvin!
Cozy* 😅
I could watch you for hours!!! You truly need your own tv show!
Dark doesn't always mean depressing. Dark paint can make a room feel cozy and moody and white paint can be well just boring
And white can look dull and dirty in a room without a lot of natural light. It looks dingy, not bright.
White can be boring if you put boring furniture in it.
I love a darker bedroom in high end modern, if you have a window wall. It’s a vibe.
I grew up with nothing but white walls and it makes me feel more suffocated than dark walls
I hate white walls, earthy tones and/or mid to dark blues are the go to for me
Arvin I can’t stop laughing 😂 the nose wires on the first date joke was hilarious 🤣 🤣🤣

It's hard to disguise the wires, but you are correct. The wires do look tacky. I guess I need to do a little more and invest in having it hidden.
It's hard enough to hide wires and there are TH-camrs that love sconces and have trailing black wires on a white wall.

Yayyy...someone agrees with me in the dark paint colors!!🎉🎊
I was waiting for you to Sally you who. You didn't 😢. I have always loved the natural look of woods and colors. I live in Florida, so we keep black out curtains up in the summer. If you don't it gets ever hotter in you home. The winter we change them out or just keep them open to let the sun in. I just love your personality.
Omg couldn't agree more on dark painting, boho bedroom, wires everywhere, and bulky beds. 💯 💯💯💯💯💯 Love you and your style Arvin 😘😘😘😘
The sound effect of the cave lmao
Yes. The curtains are FIRE! They totally elevated the look of my living room. The panels are so wide, I only needed one pair to make my windows look full.
the way it's just silent when u show the photos on screen im CRYING
“Paint that sucker!” got me good. 🤣
I did the desert modern in my main living room a year ago and SO glad I did. I have 3 little ones and seriously this color palette is the best at hiding dirt from the kids 😂 the ivory, blacks, and pops of terracotta are the best! Do it.
Am I the only one who doesn’t want the video to end?? I need more please and thank you 😊 love you Arvin ♥️♥️
So much fun watching your videos. Thanks for your insightful recommendations 👍
Hi 👋. I like your style.i hope if you will give us in next videos the ideas how to decorate small studio apartment (colors,fourniture,dividers..).thank you⭐
Nah, the screaming sound effects didn't have to take me out as much as they did 😭😭
Your laugh is contagious. Love your videos and you.
Just so you know, I ALWAYS ask hehe 😁 Literally love it when you upload and I seriously live for your infectious giggle👏❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
HAHA the motel sign got me!!! You're a funny guy! Thanks for sharing your thoughts. Have good day.
I just LOVE those curtains! And that price is amazing. They look so chic and expensive. Thank you as always Arvin🥰
Never cared for satin or silk bedding. But, we did paint our last bedroom in Night Owl & it worked great because it was a ridiculously large bedroom/ sitting area & we had several windows.
I have 2 64” wide windows in my bedroom. The dark walls fits the mood perfectly. It adds a designer flair without paying for a designer. If you love dark bedroom, tv room, or library, I highly recommend Knoxville Gray by Benjamin Moore.
I love your laugh and your opinions!!!
I keep watching your videos just to hear you laugh. I love personality, you're amazing.
“I don’t wanna be sleeping on wood… or do I 😈” lmaoooooo
💀💀💀💀💀
i got the best compliment for my boho/eclectic apartment recently 'nothing matches, but it all goes together. not in a magazine sense, but a homey mismatched way'. the best.
no but seriously, the boho thing i getting out of hand. it used to be how us broke people were allowed to have a style that didnt break the bank, now the baskets at goodwill are getting sooooooo expensive
Arvin, thank you SO freakin much for introducing me to Casaluna bedding. The hubs and I recently redid the guest room but also needed new sheets for the master bedroom and we are in love. No joke, my husband woke up the next morning and could only talk about how good the sheets are! xoxo
Arvin's jacket is THE BOMB!! Especially, w/the necklaces!✨👌🏾💯😁
My bedroom is exquisite desert modern.
Love it!
🤣 you make my day, night, evening, when ever I watch your vlog.
I nearly ripped the sheets off my bed when you said stop with the satin LOL. I have the Casaluna Sateen set so I think I'm safe. haha
I love the Casaluna brand!
Sateen is not satin.
Omg! Your laugh is just so contagious that I can’t stop laughing. I agree with a lot of your ideas and I think I’ve just found my new stress reliever.
Throw away …..my hanging plants?! You can pry them out of my dead, cold hands Arvin!!
I’m an ex boho lover (still can’t pry the wicker baskets out of my dead hands haha) - this new desert modern is giving me LIFE!!!! Please, PLEASE do a dedicated video on how to achieve this look!!!!! Love ya!
I just love your laugh! It makes me laugh every time. ❤️
I’m with you…Boho is a no go.
But your videos are not to be missed! So enlightening but entertaining as well.
I get sad when the video is over lol.. I want hour long Arvin! Hehe ❤️
Totally agree on dark bedroom color and silk bedding- like sleeping in a coffin! Yikes. "Boy Smells"- what a great concept! You cracked me up with the hanging wires like being untrimmed nose hairs and not wanting to sleep on wood- maybe. Ha!
Desert Modern is all kinds of fabulous
I just love your laughter and personality, love, love you.
I agree with respect silk sheets but I love my silk pillowcases.
Yeah, I'm keeping my satin pillowcases for my hair and face. I just cover them with my regular pillows when I make my bed.
Love you! When you brought that petal candle towards the camera, I thought I was suppose to smell it!!🤣😂 smellevision!!
