i think a key component in all of this is to not rush. take your time sourcing and collecting items for your home. also try to ignore what's trendy, if your gut tells you to get something then get it! it doesn't matter if it doesn't fit in with the current trends!
YES
Yes! I bought a home last year and felt pressure to fill every room but eventually had a moment where I realized I’d rather have a rather bare house that I decorate over time instead of tjmaxx/ target vomiting all over
@@Mackenziea2342 I was at TJMax with my mom today and I forgot how awful their decor is. There are some gems but they are few and far between.
For sure!! People move in and want it to be Extreme Home Makeover immediately decorated. Meanwhile the most personal home I've seen is my grandma's she's spent 30 years decorating
Yes!! And i belive a home should have something New, something old, something that is personal.
It's funny--the "all Ikea" photo you showed looked pretty good. But that's the thing, those catalog photos are filmed in spaces with tall ceilings, beautiful light, wide floorboards, etc. Most of us don't have that, lol. It's like a model wearing a dress--it's the model that looks good, not the dress.
I would love to see a video of your old decor/interior style phases and how your taste evolved through the years!!!!
This is a great idea!
I also second this!!!
yes!
I prefer Caroline to this person. Caroline is better at explaining stuff, and she's very honest, with a much better vocabulary and intelligence
Some good friends of mine have a beautiful vacation picture they took when they were the Smoky Mountains. It's a gorgeous shot of the sunset from atop the mountain with all the beautiful fall colors surrounding the shot. They had it made into a huge print, framed it, and it is now in their living room. It's definitely a conversation piece, and a great story when you learn it was a shot from their own camera that was a perfect shot.
In my home everything has been gathered slowly over the decades from a spoon to the yesterday’s mid century teak slate patio glider (my neighbor moved out and left it on her porch). I feel like a bird bringing back found object one by one to make my nest a home. My interior has no particular style but ppl who came to visit all said that my place is my extension (lots of interesting items well organized all over the place).
……I remember how I came to own each item, I really do. Many things have a neat story behind it. I met some interesting sellers via Craigslist. I found things on sidewalk that I hauled home. I thrifted small home goods from countries I traveled. I scored mid century kitchen items and knickknacks from Etsy when they were still reasonably priced. I took home things family and friends didn’t want to keep. Of course I bought stuff from Urban Outfitters, HomeGoods, and Amazon. Strangely I hardly ever shop garage or estate sales. I can’t, unless I can afford to lease a warehouse and start my own resale business. I always, ALWAYS find treasures in rubble.
Viewing decorating your home as a bird building her nest is such a beautiful way to look at it!
Paige: Just don't follow exactly what people do
Me: does anything & everything that Paige tells me to do
I inherited a little stool my grandmother said she laid her undies on at night to air out as a child. Makes me laugh. The bloomer stool..lol
Oh my God I love this. Thanks 💚
I love this! My nightstands have a place for a chamber pot! I got them from my mom who I think got them from her aunt. It’s so special to have unique pieces that are no longer made 🥲
So cute 😅💞
We need a video on embarrassing interior choices from your past.
YES!
Nothing is embarrassing. We change and grow.
I’m so curious to see your mom’s house,you always mention her test. Can we have a tour?😄
It doesn't exists anymore. Her parents sold her childhood house and bought the lakehouse they're renovating, there's already a video showing the lakehouse
Your home has personality because you have been yourself when decorating! It's the same with your wardrobe. It's easy to buy things that other people consider fashionable, but you have to know who you are and what you like and then you have to be yourself!
i neeed to share one of my best home purchases because if there's anyone who is going to support my decision, it's this comment section. a couple weeks ago i received an email from a small museum in downtown dallas that i enjoy going to that they were sadly closing because of rent prices. amazingly for me, they were selling all their art pieces. my mom and i went one weekend and ended up buying three pieces that now hang in our little house. i don't know how easy it is to find small museums that are closing down, but it's definitely something to look into for awesome art finds!
Something about this makes me so sad. But it’s lovely to hold and to keep such special pieces. You got very lucky
@@RaisedByOcelots definitely bittersweet getting wonderful pieces due to it closing down. i have so many fun memories there and i'm so grateful that i was able to bring them into my home
also, if you like art, it's good to patronize art museums in the first place so that they don't end up in that situation...
Sad to hear but lucky you for getting some nice pieces.
hi paige, i was wondering if there is a chance of you making like a pinterest board with all of the photos you use in your videos.. it could be useful having like a board where you save all of it, it might help you stay more organized and it can help us viewers to find all of these, if any of us are interested. love the vid btw :))
She has a Pinterest that she has shared before, I think it’s in the vid where she goes through cool peoples Pinterest pages, or you could just search her name
Go to her website linked in the description and you can find her Pinterest there.
To everyone saying she does have pinterest: I think op wants a separate board for every video.
M’y mom has a very white and minimalist home (a style I am not often drawn to, and one I know is often teased on this channel), that being said, the home is filled with personality! Almost every wood piece is a found object or hand me down, and most of the art that may otherwise be labeled « decor », was done by her. The home manages to escape cookie cutter white suburb homes, because every detail is cared about, and she really knows how to make a very simple design style comfortable
Wow that sounds awesome!! Could we see??
the harshness mixed with the dry sarcasm is what dreams are made of...love it!
I feel so much better about my home after watching your videos because so much stuff I have and love because it belonged to someone we love, but it’s not trendy. I’m learning that I can rearrange and showcase what I already own by watching designers like you, and that I shouldn’t let HGTV make me feel like I’m missing something anymore.
My style has changed a little throughout the years too. I was born in the 70s. But what makes me happy in my home is true mid century teak or walnut items splashed around a Scandinavian minimalistic home. I’m getting a can light now. Thanks Paige.
I think you just became my favorite TH-cam designer with this video. This is absolutely a breath of fresh air. So tired of interiors all looking the same and everyone talking about the same trends.
Can’t agree more about warm wood. I was into the grey wood for a while but wow I’m so over it.
my rental has horrible grey wood floors and the communal areas (corridors, etc) have really nice warm wood floors and I am so upset they didn't opt for that for the apartments.
Yes, lot of the smaller new homes I’ve noticed are using the grey laminate wood and it looks so cheap. And they’re pairing it with white walls!
@@lightworks3172 Those photos always look like they're not in color to me.
@@lightworks3172 yes it’s everywhere like a cancer 🤮🤮🤮
Grey, ugh. 😞
i literally went to a house party at this gorgeous silver lake, los angeles mid century that checked all of these boxes - and hearing paige recap the do’s made me realize that’s part of why it was such a compelling and fun event; the house facilitated the good feelings!!
I've taken years creating a cultivated and cozy home since I have thrifted and been gifted items etc. It takes some time and that's why it cant be purchased at HomeGoods in a weekend. Thrifted art finds and art from my Grandma have been the highlight of a lot of conversations 💚
I love it when people come over and ask, "Where did you get that?" That's the sign of personality. I also love the feeling that it is going to take some hunting to find something similar.
I'm the something old in my bedroom.
Love your tips. Thanks.
I use my grandmother’s cutting table from her theatre costume designer days. I painted it a lacquer red and use it for my art table, I’m sitting at it now. I also have many chairs that were my great grandparents farm chairs with woven cane seats, they are all around our house.
I love buying vintage, but I think it’s really important for us to keep in mind the safety aspect. For example we might have to replace the electrical of vintage lamps, as the old circuit / wiring can be fire hazard. And also the potential of a piece being lead painted etc. I just found out today that some colourful vintage dish wares potentially contain lead and can leach into food and am totally freaking out a little
I love rewiring old lamps. Very easy to do once you learn the underwriters knot. Also fortunate enough to have a vintage lamp shop close by for complicated wiring. Easy way to determine lead is by using a lead testing kit. I have atomic pattern dishes from the sixties I did this to. Simple fixes for keeping the landfills clean.
I appreciate the art comments. So much original good art and easier to find than ever-hello instagram. In my place the walls are colors, I put 70's wallpaper I found in the trash in a nook and hung a large beveled and chipped street find mirror, tons of original art, my great grandma's coffee grinder is wall mounted in the kitchen and I have quilts my gramma made as well as ones by my mom. These things are IMPORTANT. Thanks Paige for this vid!
Yesss and Etsy is to thank as well!
You tube just suggested your video and I love it! As an artist, I appreciate your saying to buy original art from a local artist! 👩🎨 love all your idea!
“Everyone says my mom’s house is like a Pottery Barn catalogue” Is that not the no-personality type of thing you’re talking about? Pottery Barn ticks a bunch of the boxes you mentioned, including mass-produced art, mass-produced furniture, copying interior designers.
I was confused by this too....
I would love to see a series where you help people solve design/decorating issues in their homes!!
Yes, like Lone Fox does!
I think you nailed it, Page! Good and cozy lighting, music, candles, decent curtains (that at least touch the floor 😉), texture and wood... Oh my! And this historic details, that bring conversations to the gatherings, sooo good!!! 🥰 Loved the video!
Hi Paige nice to meet you!
I enjoy listening to what you have to say on decor and the living spaces we all live in.
I happen to have many of the suggestions going on in my home that you are talking about.
I have real plants, florals, candles, a cam light, dimmers on switches, vintage items throughout the house, blue and green walls, a pink kitchen,
My own Art on walls, some wood furniture and curtains, pillows in different textiles and so on …..
BUT! I do not have any shelving on walls.
I recently was looking at a wall in the kitchen where I was thinking I wanted to put up some shelving.
Hmmmmm
Sorry ment to sa can and I all too often have music playing too. I own a vintage turntable and play old records. It’s all a beautiful blessing really 🙏🏼 I am grateful. Thank you Paige your great♥️
Paige... I love you!! This is the best video you’ve ever made. I tried telling my sister she should get an antique piece for her home and she acted like she was too good for “used” furniture in her “new” home😂😂 poor fool my big sissy is. You definitely have great taste for the home and I’m here for all of it! I agree with 98% of what you say and I’m learning the other 2% thanks for being here🤗
I tried to convince a friend to get warm wood or something antique as well because her entire place is literally gray with glass, mirrored and chrome accents, and it feels like an ice block 😂
@@meh5069 nooo not the chrome accents!! 😂
My family doesn’t have music on whenever we’re visiting each other bc we’re a really loud family 😆We’re already competing with each other to be heard, we don’t need background noise 😅
Back in the day, mom had a subscription to Better Homes & Garden and that was about it as far as design influence went. There were no big box stores. You decorated with hand me downs, rummage sale stuff, and things like that. Everyone's house looked different. My dad once made me drag a neighbor's console tv home from trash night. He took the tv out and put his fish tank in. We aren't influenced by our own creativity anymore. And that's why your house doesn't have any personality!
I love your channel and your taste, I think it’s also important to recognize that many of us are refugees (even if it was from 20 years ago) that don’t have stuff passed on from our families. It’s a privilege. I hope people think about that when they go to someone’s space. Also a lot vintage things I see in goodwill I can’t relate to because I’m not white.
I see your challenge. Can you get art from your home country? I think the overall point is to have a home that in some way speaks uniquely to who you are. Maybe it's not the furniture but maybe you can find an artisan selling items on Etsy relating to your heritage.
@@-alpenglow- it’s hard to find, there are a couple but mostly vintage maps of the country. What I’m trying to highlight is that when you walk into someone’s home and everything is new, there might be more to the story. Many immigrants that I’m friends with have homes like this because they don’t have access to their families vintage stuff or their history. It’s just our reality. I still enjoyed this video and found it helpful, I just know there are other people out there whether you’re an immigrant or grew up low income that can relate to what I’m saying.
@@suwanja We do take things for granted. I appreciate your opinion
@@suwanja Anyone who is worthy of your friendship won't judge you or your home because you don't have any vintage items.
Im not on your situation, so I appreciate you pointing it out. An idea, if I might share, what about inheriting from friends? I have plants, several pieces of furniture and a couple of knick nacks that i got from friends or even from their relatives. And i really like giving them second life, and makes me think of my friends :-)
I love vintage and am so grateful my mom insisted on going through her grandmother's and my grandmother's dishes and glassware with me. She told me whose it had been, and some of it I even remember as a child seeing it in their homes. The art deco desert dishes were a no brainer, (So sparkly and delicate) I can't understand why my sister had no interest in them at all. Different strokes for different folks. Mom had to slightly twist my arm to take the relatively large pair of pink flamingo figurines. She actually started to tear up because we weren't really interested in them. I didn't want to hurt her feelings so I accepted them, and now that I have them, they are two of my most treasured possessions. Everyone comments on them. Great conversation starters. Too much vintage can begin to look junkie, so one must know when to stop and to know when to edit. Really great, thought provoking video. Shout out to Caroline Winkler for mentioning you as one of her favorite designers. That's how I found you.
Omg the first "well well, so your home doesn't have any personally" really got me so excited, that I wanted an intro to celebrate what's coming next. You really deserve a little intro to let us hanging there for a moment and feel the excitement for your video your personal touch & twist. To get back into the mood of your channel 😍
Even just after one first sentence... Cause ready then we are back with you (and even more with a mini intro, with just a logo or a second of your animated channel name)... Let's support this content guys so that we can get her an intro she deserves!! 🥰🤩🙌
The grumpiness, the opinions, THE SNAP. Yes, lady, I'm here for it. 🔥
I worked at Ikea. I have a few things but I limited it to small items. I can pick out ikea in less than 3 seconds . However...where they excel is in the kitchen! You can change those cabinet doors out every year if you want! I think the longer I worked there the more I wanted vintage. 😊😋
I’m starting there next week. I’m really excited but I’m telling myself I can only buy the plants and nothing else🤑
These were the best pointers given by an interior designer with excellent presentation. Not only was it informative but the manner it was presented made it possible to comprehend and to grasp the message so that it can be retained for future reference. You got a huge LIKE from me!
I came to Paige's channel expecting candidness and personality, and candidness and personality are what i get
I love that you reiterated the CAM light! As you were moving through your list, I was checking my space. Do I have “warm wood”, vintage/heirlooms and plants. STOP!
I have a kitchen window ledge, full of plants but I want/wanted a tree, with a CAM light: never knew what to call that lighting!
Thank you for sharing & thanks to Caroline Winkler, for the introduction 🙋♀️
Agreed. And antiques don’t have to be an English, French or European, can be from Africa (Senufo stools), India, Bali, Japan, Korea, Caribbean. I love the mix with modern. Something handmade with something sleek and industrial or metallic.
I love a good bedroom bookshelf, it makes the place feel so cozy and adds a touch of personality through your book selection
One big reason I bought my house was because of the huge built-in shelves in the small living room. I am terrible with indoor plants so I grow wheatgrass in a vintage ceramic container.
i just love ur channel so much. every time u upload it is like christmas to me!! I’m moving into my first apartment in late July and i’m so glad i’ve been watching your channel for about a year now because when i shop for items for my apartment i have the moments of what would paige do or choose… Loveee what you do girl you are a huge inspiration to me.
When I moved into my house, it suffered from a bad case of 80s. But slowly I've gotten rid of the worst offenders, the terrible light fixtures, the gross beige carpet, the ugly beige ceramic tile with brown grout, and replaced them with more modern fixtures, wood floring, and more updated tile. I didn't get rid of everything though. I kept the orangey oak cabinets in the kitchen, and because of the colors that I put around them, they look like a design choice rather than like an afterthought. I even have accessories in orange tones that reference the wood tone. I do wonder if my house lacks personality in some way though, as someone described it once as looking like an Airbnb.
Paige, would you consider doing a video on how to decorate with wall to wall carpeting? I’m moving into a rental soon that is *perfect*… except that it has wall to wall carpeting in the bedrooms, offices, and living room. It’s the typical gross beige carpet and it won’t be possible for us to rip it up and put in new floors. So knowing how to create a beautiful and aesthetically pleasing space in a rental with carpet would be so helpful!
Also, if you happen to know anything about putting laminate flooring over plywood over carpet, that would be really helpful to hear your advice on.
My dead grandmas afghan on the back of the couch. Print of Rocky Mountains landscape from local artist in Boulder Colorado on a shelf. I’ve been working on it. Love your advice.
I would say that I do love interior design and would agree that it affects how we perceive spaces and situations but I don't know that a space needs to have x y and z to have good company. I've had great times in horribly decorated spaces because of the people and bad times in beautiful spaces.
Yes! Thank you for this! You are one of few who makes sense on here 😇, also, I completely forgot about can lights!! I used them before in more of a themed room (don't hate 😂) but going to pick up one for my dining room to put behind my ficus. It needed something, and now I know exactly what it is 💚
Im somewhat of an artist (ive sold some paintings) but have a canvas print from Homesense (like homegoods i imagine) and i still luv it after many yrs. So go ahead and get something if it gives u the good feels 👍(dont just buy something to fill a space tho)
“IF YOU DON’T HAVE MUSIC ON, WHAT ARE YOU DOING?” 😆💕😃😅 Every room should have at least 1 old beauty! Last weekend I bought an old afghan black and white dog, its big and beautiful! I have grey walls, and all wood floors and wood furniture, and my Grandmas old standup radio📻 in a big wooden case.
lol "is it REALLY your style, or is it theirs?" ... meanwhile I'm perpetually looking for style validation from wasselpa. feeling attacked rn!!!
I’ve always been a collector, but now that I live on my own and can pay for my own stuff, I’ve definitely made my place my own with many things that reflect me.
i would love to see you have an instagram or some type of blog/page where you repost all of the example photos you use for inspiration! or maybe save them to a public pinterest board that we can reference
i get a lot of inspiration from the example photos you provide and i would love to have them in a form we can refer to ♥️
I walked around for days with a floor lamp that lost its home when I moved some pieces around in my living room. I just knew there was a spot in my home that needed it plus it has been with me forever and how could I kick it out of its home? FINALLY I found it - a small corner in my dining room surrounded by doors on both sides but the walls were filled with thrifted art that I loved. Voila! Instant magic in the evening when that little corner is shining. Getting your home like you want it is always a work in progress.
I think the best way to give personality to your home is to NEVER buy a bunch of stuff, decorate with it, and throw out all the perfectly good old stuff. The more time you spend with an object, the more memories you'll have with it, and the more personality it will develop. If everything is new, it might be satisfying to share photos of your great decorating skills, but it's like sharing your house with a bunch of strangers, you don't know anything about them except that they look good, just like falling for someone based on looks isn't enough to ensure you'll have a good, healthy relationship. You don't know if that pillow is best to prop yourself up on to watch movies in bed, or that couch is the best place to read a book. You don't know if you'll be sitting at just the right angle to catch the best view of the sunset. If you give it enough time to get to know your surroundings you'll develop a relationship with them, and you won't feel lonely while surrounded by hundreds of dollars worth of stuff.
I genuinely don’t get this demonisation of new decor and I’m not talking about trends!
I personally never loved imposed passed down old furniture because they don’t say anything about ME, for me a home with personality has to talk about you!
My house is mainly new because when I move to the UK from Italy to stay with my fiancé I only had my suitcase with my clothes and only few months later we moved out from his mum’s house to ours and the house was completely empty, I would say our furniture is mostly modern but is been chosen wisely not for sake of trends based on what we both love, also I’m a painter and fiber artist and on we hanged all my art on the walls, we do own a couple of “faux” Turkish rugs as we are vegan and the vintage ones unfortunately have wool so we didn’t want to compromise on ethic for design.
I love Paige but I feel like sometimes this promoting vintage only makes me worry will another overdone trend and to be honest is on right now with all the traditional homes we see on social right now.
my beloved godfather passed a few years ago and he used to make beautiful furniture from recycled wood like vintage doors or old furniture that he refurbished and he shared that passion with me and gifted me with furniture through every life milestone. I feel sooooo lucky, even though I miss him everyday, to be surrounded by these beautiful books, furniture, deco that I got to keep after his passing. I can buy some Ikea furniture or like online ordered things and it still feels so homey and unique and has personality! Plus it makes me feel like I will never totally lose him, I got to keep a bit of his soul in a way... maybe it's stupid idk...
Phillips hue lighting (the smart bulbs that you can control the brightness/colour of via your phone) is the best thing I've bought for my home. I always get compliments on my lighting, I keep it to a dim warm light usually with some candles for smaller gatherings or I do colourful lights for a bigger party. seriously a game changer
I pretty much nodded my head the whole way through this video … agree agree agreeeeee! The people you have over can sense your comfort in your own space. It’s feeling the hosts ease.
My house has many personalities, and we're working through it. Sloooowly.
Wall shelves…absolutely! We’re building our house right now and we are making our living/dinning room walls’ nothing but book shelves🙌🏼
Paige, you are so refreshing to watch. I love that you keep it so real. Never change 🤗🏡
Paige, the most important tips and advise on home interior design! I’m so glad you were the one to say it. You are my absolute favorite.
I think my home has personality. You have validated me.
Makes me think of white Ikea homes with signs on the wall that go something like "In this FAMILY we LAUGH, we LOVE and we CHERISH each other".
inheriting 4 brown leather and chrome dining chairs from the 60s that belonged to my great grandparents! they look like the purmer with out arm chairs. also inheriting my grandparents’ orange leather swivel egg chair from the 60s 😍😍
estate sales (not garage sales) are a great place to get furniture. I got our entire bedroom set for $125 and it’s solid wood from the 50s-60s
Paige is new to me, and what a joy to find someone who thinks for herself!
“Your home has no personality and neither do you.” 🤣 brutal but true. You should do one that says, “Your home is tacky because your outfit is tacky.” And I’m going straight to hell😆
All very good advice, thank you, I agree 100% 🥰
I've gone to a few dinner parties at the flat of an unbearably pretentious couple who are friends of a friend and whose living room furniture is strikingly uncomfortable - similar to the modular-no arm-monsters you used as an example. Plus, there is almost nowhere to situate drinks, etc... So while we all try not to fall off our cubes, drop our dessert plates or knock over the flat screen tv on the coffee table in front of us (wtf?), the host holds court, nearly supine, with his arms actually behind his head, in his €5,000 Le Corbusier Chase lounge! Never going back ;)
But you, I've recently discovered through the lovely Caroline Winkler and will be back :) xo
I just came home from vacation today. I haven't seen my house in 2 weeks and dang, it has plenty of personality. Maybe too much. It's a shock to the eye to see all my stuff. Then after awhile I get used to it. Does anyone else have this experience and wish they were a minimalist??
This was me after returning home from a trip
This video made me feel better about my maximalist eclectic home. It may not be everyone’s taste but it’s unique and I love it! Shout out to my 1800s side tables with chamber pot cupboards I got from my mom.
Preach! You are spot-on about everything.
Amen to all of this Amiga! Thank you for the helpful admonition!
This is my favourite video of yours so far. I like when you sound slightly annoyed! Great advice.
Hell to the yes about comfort. I love design and always prioritize comfort but....the amount of people who think comfortable furniture is synonymous with a giant brown leather marshmallow couch...ughhhhgg. On the other side of things - it also drives me nuts when you see a trendy living room and every piece is horribly uncomfortable...There are plenty of well designed comfortable chic options out there!
I love your bit on shelving 😂 Do you have more tips on getting shelving? I don't have much experience building or styling shelves.
So during the war, my husbands family hid beneath the dining room table. They lost the front of the house and it was rebuilt. The table was so damaged that they built a grandmother clock out of the wood. We are now buying that family home and restoring it back to it its mid century modern beauty. And the grand mother clock is pride of place!
you're my favorite TH-camr because of videos like these
I always feel comforted and more confident about my decorating choices when they happen to already follow a lot of your advice😂 I definitely don’t do everything you say, in fact I still do some stuff you always say you hate like farmhouse stuff buuuuut idc I like to think I do it better than the examples you usually use hahahaha I also grew up on a farm though so I feel like that makes it better, plus I’m a fine artist so all the farmhouse art on my walls are originals by me that are inspired by my childhood!
I'm not able to do much thrifting, but FB marketplace is great in my area for this. I often get comments on things I've found there and there's always a good story to tell about it 🙂.
According to this, my home has tons of personality. I'm pleased.
10000000% agree. Interrogation overhead lights, TV, no music... No Bueno!
The no music thing 💯💯💯 I've been to so many parties, showers etc and it's pin quiet (as an uncomfortable extrovert it makes me REALLY unnerved)
I find that I can't follow what people are saying if there's too much noise, including music, so the music thing is probably really dependent on who you're hanging out with. If I'm listening to music, I have to turn it off when someone starts talking to me because then my brain tries to focus on both and then can't pay attention to either.
Aaaahahaha morning jazz is one of my go-to playlist when I don’t want to choose but SOMETHING HAS TO BE ON. It is life changing. Even my six yr olds randomly shout “Alexa! Play morning jazz” when they want me to feel loved 🤣❤️
ALSO… thank you for giving me permission to add shelving. Feels like an empty cardboard box in here without shelving!
I love all these tips and for me a cozy home is the best home!!
I guess I'm crazy, but I hate dim soft white light bulbs. they look so orange in my lamps and the house just feels like a depressing dungeon at night. lol I love daylight bulbs, but my colors in my house are also cool toned so it just goes.
I love the idea that this is something that takes time & practice! People make it seem like you're either born with good style or you're not 🥲
Perfection. I love lighting & vintage & textiles &….what you said. I used pale pink bulbs in my bedroom lamps, when they still made em. Warm lighting makes yr skin glow. And everyone looks beautiful by candle light. And ART. Not reproductions you’d see in a hotel. Ok. That’s enough. Sorry! I wrote too much & deleted most of it. I do get carried away….
All my stuff makes me feel good. I think if you just pick up stuff you like, you will eventually come to your style.
I got a can light per Paige and put it behind my ficus tree. It changed my life 🥺
Absolutely agree! Don’t even need to spend on flowers or plants if budget is tight… greens from the garden or park can add life. I am fortunate to have a large kitchen and have a lamp on the countertop… unexpected and cute. The mood lighting and music are 💯 the icing on the entertaining cake! Had a bbq at the weekend and guests that hadn’t seen my home before were in awe and lots of comments even though we are about to renovate…. Loved this one!
I have a painting of an owl… I get so many compliments on it!!! I found it at the dump!!
2 things I hate.....grey walls & beige walls
you nailed it
I also hate sports being on at a friends house
When you were talking about terrible lighting and no music at get togethers I was like “yesssss Paige, go off!!” 👏🏽👏🏽 I’m here for your spoken word on good interior design lmao
No grandma. No history. But I have what I like...which is nothing vintage. It's all white with some grey. No curtains. Lots of plants though. I love it
I agree with all of what you said. And my Room has tons of personality, Books and shelves and old stuff grom ancestors and art and wood and fake woods lol my Bed is a bit grey which is nice in the summer but in the winter will need to be changed up.
loved this video super funny, would love to see you reflect on some previous pieces to show your own growth n how you've develeoped your style in spaces :)
