Loved this one! I enjoyed the focus on style itself without as much shopping and advertising, a whole lot! I also really appreciated the reminder that my house should reflect the way I live, and what *I* like. As someone who can easily get really excited about new styles, it was really refreshing for you to offer ways to update my style without a complete overhaul, in a sustainable way. Thank you!!
I live on a farm, but all these modern farmhouses (even the exteriors) are very very soon going to look as dated as the McMansions. Wish we could go back to the beautiful homes before they were mass produced. There is a timeless design when it comes to architecture, too.
Valentina, I really like you reminding us that our homes should reflect us. Refreshing to watch and not have Stores and shopping continually mentioned...I think I heard Amazon, once and I think it was 12 minutes into the video before I heard that name! 🎉 Without the "where to shop " continually mentioned, I could focus on what you were saying, enjoy your video and take your information seriously. Sometimes, the videos have seemed more like Advertising. Thank you, Valentina!!❤
Valentina, your home is absolutely gorgeous, warm and inviting! We’re working on building a new PNW home on a small bluff that overlooks a bay. It also has forested area as part of the view. Would love a video on coastal styles that are timeless and not overly trendy, since we’re hoping this will be our forever home.
Living in the mountains of Nevada, I tend more Western Goth. Seriously. I’m close to Virginia City. Look it up. It makes sense here. More than any other style. I layer it onto Mid Century Modern in the main house, and onto Cottage section built in 1944. Except for the back Tiki/Exotica guest room. It’s actually nicer than it sounds. It’s got Black Sapphire walls/ceiling and Tanzanite walls. Mirrored surface accents on the walls to bounce light. Metal lanterns hanging from the ceiling. It’s really lush.
That sounds amazing. I want to see your home. About a decade ago I told my husband I thought it would be fabulous to go with a Santa Fe Brothel style for our home in the southwest. 😂 My vision was based entirely on a gorgeous vintage sofa (dark orange velvet, curved back, channel-tufted). Hubs wouldn't get on board, but it was fun thinking of elements to bring in.
*The Blend* . I never bought into the Modern Farmhouse aesthetic, I've realized over the years that high contrast isn't my vibe. I do know my blend, rustic/vintage/cottage. I need a solid neutral base, and the coziness of mid-tone wood. I need my inside spaces to reflect the outside spaces as well. My home definitely reflects my essence; casual and cozy with timeless vintage elements.
Thank you, Valentina. The pictures you chose and your advice nudged me out of a rut. Just what I needed to remind me that a home should be a reflection of the people who live there to create harmonious relationships within the family and with your guests. I believe I got your message... Styles choices should be analyzed, should be personal and the beauty needs to be more 'than skin deep'. Excellent video!
I love that, even if the styles you feature aren't my jam, there's always so much inspiration in you videos, V! We started moving away from farmhouse about 4 years ago, but instead of adding things like you're showing here, we went more industrial and tropical. It just seems to fit in with living here in Florida. We're trying to create a home that fits in with our surroundings and the style of the house, and I love that it still feels like a tropical vacation inside (and my hubs hates wicker and caning more than I like it, so I'm here to say it can be done without those! 😆).
@@murielbaith5445 Yes, it works if you go for more rustic industrial, like "Flagler railroad"/St Augustine style. If you've been to Disney Springs recently, there's a lot of that look in the newer areas.
I just sold my 99 year old Tudor cottage and I miss it so much. Was the house I grew up in. I bought it in 2003 and was home again. Somehow my oriental rugs in each room, wine colored art deco sofa, sage green velvet wingbacks and all cherry antiques just don’t cut it in a newer home. I’ve bought 11 houses, fixed up the interior cosmetically and then sold each one in about 3 years- all were old English Tudors.❤
Estate sales are the best places for wonderful quality antiques (for cheap!) that could fit any of the styles you mentioned. Manor especially! My three living rooms are 3 specific styles: Arts and Crafts, Midcentury Modern and slightly Art Deco - so estate sales are triple dangerous for me!
I LOVE Vervoordt! I've not heard of his style being called French Country--that to me is something quite different. Usually his style is called Belgian Minimalism, I think, but you nail the style description and I agree that you can transition modern farmhouse to it. "Rustic and monastic" totally works for me. Of the six styles, this is easily my favorite.
What I wnjoy about this video is the sharing if all of thisw photos of styles. Thanks for taking the time to find then and insert them into your video. My style is modern with a strong dose of traditional in the wood furniture I've collected.
I have been & always will be a traditional home lover. I have tried to go into other styles & it just doesn't feel like me. I always love every video to put out & look forward to your advice as we all can use it in each style of homes
I’m changing out my entire home to Modern Mountain Home. I kinda regret ever styling our home any other way. Now I have a “mountain” of work ahead of me! No pun intended. Gradually over time, I’ll get the end result I’m wanting.
From the PNW, near the coast: I like simple space forms, protection from the winter rains and shading against the summer heat. Natural ventilation, no air conditioning, no ceiling fans. No marble anything. For inspiration, I look toward the historic humble residential architecture of the Coast Salish people and laborers in Japan, China, and India. An interior courtyard? Flexible, adaptable spaces? Wide porches on all 4 sides? A material and color palette drawn from the natural environment in my location? Sign me up!
A little distracted by the two pictures over your shoulder in the background. I keep wondering why you would choose that placement instead of the other side of the door where they would look less "cramped". Is that an intentional decor choice I am not getting?? 😉 Love your style and your videos. Keep up the great work! ❤
I love mixing old world with more modern. Too much of any style is too cut and paste. The richness in the materials (faux fur, wood, wrought iron, stone, pottery) makes all the difference. However, neutrals with pops of autumn colors make me feel the absolute coziest. This has been my preference forever, and I finally feel I'm in style. Yay me. LOL
The word “modern” is a hard word to conceptualize. Do you mean current, trendy, classic, abstract, minimal, or the true modern from the modern era? You also use the word “sophisticated “ but is that paired back, classic, clean lines, commercial, upscale, tailored? Abstract isn’t sophisticated to everyone. I hear you trying to steer towards texture as your patterns vs printed patterns, that makes design look timeless. Timeless has a sophisticated and modern feel without being any particular style.

I agree, they will definitely look dated and we'll be figuring out how to update them.
2:05 "I want something that feels more open and brighter!" ...while standing in a charcoal gray room. 😜
That's one small room in her otherwise large, open and bright other rooms tho 😉

Love these ideas! Keeps it sophisticated and luxurious, but still feels like a home.
Thank you so much!!! That's definitely the goal!
Love how you focus on architecture !!! That is what truly makes a home not mass production ❤❤❤
You make my day! Love every idea in all your videos! I don’t always implement them, but you’ve helped me immensely!
I'm so glad!!!

I like the Modern Cottage look
EXCELLENT tips and advice as always! Thank you, you're the best 🙌
Great video. It’s great to mix it up ; and add sprinkles modern to the home😊
Can you show us how you laid out your “French cottage” style patio? I need ideas and love your back set up ❤
I’m changing out my entire home to Modern Mountain Home. I kinda regret ever styling our home any other way. Now I have a “mountain” of work ahead of me! No pun intended. Gradually over time, I’ll get the end result I’m wanting.
I’m starting this process! Do you have any pointers?

What color is the room you’re in?
Hematite by Behr
@@ednareid5315 thanks
Your “crocs” are your faux croc shorts. 😂 When you started saying croc I had to do a double take. Love the inspo in this video.

However, neutrals with pops of autumn colors make me feel the absolute coziest. This has been my preference forever, and I finally feel I'm in style. Yay me. LOL
How about rustic colonial American or Scandinavian cottage?
Great information.😊
Love so many of these
Awesome!
Tudor for me 😁
English cottage may not be your style but it is as lovely as your own house is!
Thank you so much!
What’s the color of the wall behind you?
You are so cool 😍😍
Sounds like a cold? If so feel better😊
What color are your interior doors
How can I get in touch with you about helping me out with a renovation project I am about to start?
Here's how you can get started houseofvalentina.com/design-contact/
When you do that are you pulling on your skin
Did get an I'm interested in it but I was wondering if we have to pull at our face you didn't answer the question you only sent in heart ❤️
