I so agree about the backward books! Such a strange ideas that books can clash with your decor.

[@lorie76yt]

Also agree! I commented on backward books before - but I find the idea so absurd I had to comment again. After wall to wall carpeting in a bathroom, the dumbest design idea I’ve ever heard 🤷🏻‍♀️ :)

[@signespencer6887]

Home stagers turn the books backward so viewers won’t be distracted by the titles. But you can still see that books go on those shelves. There are essentially no books will will offend no one That said I just sold a house I staged myself. I removed most of the books. Left ones that were in good condition and their covers complemented the room and they were not controversial. But I didn’t shelve them backward

21. Rugs around the toilet or on the toilet seat. 22. Shiplap. 23. Barn doors. 24. Geode crystals. 24. Those ubiquitous brass salt/pepper grinders. 25. Kitchen open shelving that’s staged to death. 26. Good wood furniture that’s been painted or “Easy-Offed”. (I love authentic scrubbed pine. This isn’t that.) 27. Fairly lights. 28. I should probably include rustic pottery, but I’ve collected actual interesting rustic and indigenous pottery for decades, so can’t honestly complain about this trend. More for me to scoop up at yard sales in the future.)

Geode crystals do have a proper place: in a cabinet-of-curiosities-style study or library, preferably near the Natural History shelves. They then serve as reflection pieces when you are contemplating the wonders of geology.

A further thought on signs - as a young teen I had the “desiderata” up on my wall and lots of pop stars pictures …. for a VERY short time of our lives when we are trying to be like all our peers! We then quickly grow up and rip them down! I think this is the only time they are acceptable!! Ha ha!

[@jennagallup171]

I love your channel! I really agree with the whole books turned backwards trend. Its not functional, you have to spend a ton of time turning them only to spend the same amount of time looking for a single book. Plus its just not very interesting to look at or experience in a space. I also get annoyed when people have a bookshelf with no books on it. I know that its meant to be shelves that displays whatever you want but it is called a bookshelf and is just a personal preference of mine.

[@CFinch360]

For nice hardware on a budget, check to see if you have a Habitat for Humanity RE Store in your area. They often have super low prices on excellent hardware (among other useful things). I bought great, original art there for less than $25, lamps, side tables, dishware as well as stuff to rehab the house like tile, light fixtures, etc. The list goes on & on and it's a worthwhile cause to support.

Giant clocks are great so your guests can know what time it is, so they can leave 🤣🤣🤣

[@CarrieV9]

Yes yes yes. These giant clocks drive me nuts. And “word art” fuels rage 😂

[@elizabethstump4077]

I did see one example on Facebook, where interspersed with some decorative wall art pieces, they had three words hung "artfully." Eat S**t Die. It was irreverent and funny and if anything, made fun of the word wall art phenomenon.

[@Kringlelicious]

I have a very wee mirror ball hanging in the front room. It was a treasured ornament from Bronner's in Frankenmuth that I got when I was pretty young. . It's around 2 to 3 inches wide, and makes me smile when I see it pick up some light near the ceiling (it's way up there!). Someday it will be moved I'm sure, but having it has made me grin for years :).

[@carolefreeman2544]

I agree 100% on all the ridiculous decor that has become a trend. The only one that I have a bit of indecision with is Art. I think if you pick Art that means something to you, then that should be ok in your home regardless if it is Mass marketed or original. I love to support local artists and have several pieces from local artists, but I also have some pieces which are mass produced, because they speak to me. I have a couple which remind me of our trips to Japan but are mass produced. They are beautiful and mean something to us. As a Bookaholic who grew up loving books and treasure my books, why would I put them on a shelf “backwards”. I don’t get it! Art and Books are my loves and mean a lot to me. Excellent video Garrett as always ❤🤗🇨🇦

[@GarrettLeChic]

At the end of the day, if something speaks to you that's very important. Glad you enjoyed the video. :)

[@ophilianecr]

I agree with the mass produced art if it's paired with curated original pieces. Its rare to find the home that has the pop art postmodern aesthetic, where the mass produced Andy Warhol prints or comic book posters work WITH the space. But I've seen several houses where it's nothing but mass produced art and word signs, and _that seems devoid of personality_ to me. Although, as mean as it seems, some people really are just lacking in personal style and they need to be told what to like, or buy the basic popular things. And i suppose that works for them, but its not very appealing as a home outside of staged stores.

[@JustM2024]

I honestly don't understand the backward book trend. I am a historian & value my books so much. The personality of what books one curates, one should be proud of. An interesting room where a guest enjoys looking at your collections seems much cozier to me.

Hi Garrett I agree the backward books…why. The beads…why. I like a couch that when I’m sitting on it my feet aren’t dangling in the air, some of these couches sit so deep, my feet barley get to touch the floor. The ever popular cloud couch🤮 it’s a no here. Enjoy all of your design information.

[@GarrettLeChic]

Thanks so much Sylvia, and thank you for sharing!🤗🤗🤗

[@edithsavoy7156]

I think what makes a space look cluttered is when the walls, trim and fireplace facade are all painted white and the decor is the only thing in the room with color. This makes every piece a focal point and compete for attention with every other piece so the viewer's eyes never have a chance to rest. This happens no matter how uncluttered the room actually is. Better to have one item in the background to match so that they are pulled together and become a set.

[@teribunker5223]

I live at the beach. I totally agree with you on the beach decor. A little of that stuff goes a long way. I strive for relaxed, easy coastal vibe: not kitsch!

[@lanaj1107]

I don't decorate for Christmas, and my neighbor couldn't stand it, so she gifted me a glitter (!) Rudolph reindeer measuring in at about 4 feet high. Gulp. It resides in closet and it's only pulled out if she comes over during the holidays. She's a sweetie, so I don't mind terribly, but it sheds glitter whenever it's moved. 😳

I meditate with rose quartz crystals and such, so I have a pretty bowl of them in my living room. I also burn incence (Gonesh #6) and candles. I practice Buddhism (Tina Turner Type) so it's a life style thing. Down Euro pillows on sofas are easier to karate chop three times than a cloud couch! Mother of pearl accents can say beach without screaming it at a person. Keep keeping your feet on the ground, Garrett!!🤓

I have looked at old map drawers, which would really work with many shallow drawers. However, those are outrageously priced. Any ideas are appreciated. It would be for the master bedroom. I am considering tool chests that could be painted or modified in some way because they are so much more affordable. I would appreciate you covering Jewelry storage in an aesthetically pleasing way.

[@grat2010]

[@lyannastark628]

So i'm going to push back just a little bit. I'm definitely with you on random word art signs that literally state what room you're in or "home" "coffee" etc. But I do actually like meaningful words as decor. For example, I found a lovely etsy artist that created a beautiful wall decal with one of my favorite quotes. As a big book lover, I do like decorating with quotes in 1-2 places around my home. If words mean a lot to you, i'm definitely pro strategically placed word art of that variety, as long as it serves a purpose

[@lyannastark628]

For this same reason I fully agree with your comment about books turned backwards. Why? If you don't care about books, why have them in your space?

[@GarrettLeChic]

Interesting point. I was speaking about the generic mass produced forms. I think perhaps a tastefully done quote for a home that has special meaning to the resident or homeowner could actually be nice if not overdone.

[@DGM403]

Oh Garrett...You really made me laugh - again. You are right on point. Nobody needs "signs" to tell us go jump on the lake or where we are. I hate/hate the karate chop on pillows! And the huge wall clocks, the backwards books... I'm hoping you will give us a tour of your own home. I was looking forward to seeing the secretaire you got I think about a year ago when I first joined your channel. TFS!

[@GarrettLeChic]

Thanks so much Gloria! The problem is when I started the channel about 18 months ago and soon after we bought this home, I did not do before pictures and also I'm curating space by space which takes time because I plan, do detailed sketches which I revise, and I'm picky about everything. Many things are sourced from all over the country, and the world. We are currently discussing whether to have the formal living room done with Venetian plaster or a lime wash, and the color. I'm also about ready to order a new sofa not that the ones we had showed any wear, but I came up with a new inspiration for that space. It might take six months or more to get the sofa made and delivered. Things like that are the reality of fine design. I don't do the quick makeover routine in my videos because planning and sourcing takes way longer than that so as not to look generic or typical in my opinion. I will probably do a complete house tour when the project is fully completed. However, I have done room reveals. :)

I agree with all your points... they are so spot on, except I still think a giant backless clock ( with just black roman numerals or other traditional looking font and the hands ) would look cool in a large empty wall in a minimalist house in say, a breakfast room or kitchen.

Sounds great!

*Books* . I have a small book shelf in my entry way. I color coordinate the spines with palette of the season on the top two shelves. If I'm vibing with earthy neutrals, my OCD will go into overdrive with a color outside of my palette, so spines are backwards on the lower shelves. I know what's in there and it works for me. I thrift books to coordinate with my palette, it makes for interesting decor and interesting reading.

Why would anyone advertise that they don't read by storing books backwards or sorting them by color?

I always watch your uploads with my fingers crossed that I haven't committed any decor faux pas! 🤞😄 So far my only crime is that I own one glittery (and admittedly tacky) Christmas wreath but tbf it's only for a bit of sparkle. 🤪❤😂 (I'm making a handmade wreath this year though, I'm learning! 😂🥰)

Don't worry! I'm sure you are doing great. :)

Thanks so much for your advice Garrett. I listen to your videos and work to influence what I get for my first apartment:) I made sure to get a huge area rug! Helps to conceal the ugly apartment carpet too.

Hello 👋 I have a family member who has quotes in those wall stick on labels everywhere and they are placed crooked drives me nuts! It’s like buy a coffee table book of quotes instead, opened to your favorite quote. I mean I get that folks love some of these trends and to each there own, but geez some just go over kill on them. Love this video as always 😊

[@GarrettLeChic]

The signs are bad enough but crooked???? 🫣😬

I once stayed in a BnB that had folding directors chair bar stools in the breakfast area. They were a nightmare to get in and out of and you could just forget scooting close enough to the table. 😱

[@randie5436]
