Hey Guys!!! A special shout out to my Australian viewers! I know this premiers super early in the AM BUT... www.thedezignclub.com is launching super soon and we can all chat and hang out together every day if you want!!! You guys will get sick of me... Ok... super groovy video this week... THESE TRENDS HAVE TO DIE! LOL Lots of XOXOXOXOXOXO- Lisa

Hi Lisa, thanks for thinking of all us Aussies who watch you. It really is appreciated that you talk about things which are accessible to us😁🇦🇺

Watching you is part of my Sunday breakfast ritual.

[@HGCUPCAKES]

Thank you! I love the koala beanbag. (Not koala bear hehe 😍)

[@andshewas296]

Not being a hater but since you tell people whats in and whats out. I have too say your eyeglasses are out. They are to big for your face and the way the design goes it looks as though they are are part of you eyebrows. Just a helpful tip. I see these frames on a lot of woman and they cover their whole face and are not flattering at all.

When my grandfather lived he had a favorite armchair. This is my favorite armchair now. It doesn't fit with anything. You would be in shock if you saw it. But I love it very, very, very ... very much...

[@katerineella274]

It's great you have your grandpa's chair. You could always cover it with a cool fabric to update it some day.

@@realgirl2704 We learn at any time in our life. When we stop learning, we devalue our ancestors. There is a difference between old-fashioned and antique. If something is old-fashioned, it's not a problem. If something is ancient, something our ancestors created with their own hands, then we need to preserve and cherish and cherish it.

Thrifting is not a design trend. It’s a lifestyle! 😂 I’m grateful, thankful and blessed. And I live, laugh, love! But, the words have NEVER been on the walls of my home. Ugh! 😣

[@JonathonV]

I think Lisa was saying that the problem was going to a thrift store aimlessly and just buying everything, despite the fact that the things you buy are likely from different styles and eras and may not fit your space. She mentioned that thrifting intentionally is a good thing!

[@annalynn9325]

Agree, I want to read books, not my throw pillows and wall art 🙃

[@adriennecaldwelldogtraining]

Haha. LOL. Live, laugh, love! Where is that green emoji that begins with a V?

[@cramperella]

I am not a fan of how most Lazy Boy recliners look, but as I age and have mobility issues, I understand why they may be necessary.

[@sislertx]

Lol..i just visited a high end old folks home and drove in back...always tells about a business...anyway.mmthey had five high end recliners sitting out back....hopefully to toss bot storage

[@dotink]

A necessary evil imo. I have neck and spine issues and need seating with good, adjustable support. It’s a compromise I have to make. Otherwise I would have to spend more time laying down and away from my family to give my neck a break. The trick is to find something that looks pretty good (we got a custom leather one) and then maybe the rest of the decor camouflages it enough that it doesn’t stick out like a sore thumb. But in the end if you can’t be comfortable and relax in your living spaces then there’s no point in having them. Thankfully there are many options today besides the behemoth textured cloth recliners of the 80s. (PS I love you Lisa, I know you weren’t coming at me lol)

[@llamasugar5478]

My mom got a lift recliner that was really nice and sleek (well, compared to the poofy ones). It had firm support, too.

[@lu_re7198]

I’m thinking about getting a Relax-the-Back chair for the study. May not be as cute as the substitutes shown in the video...but sleeker than the old lazyboy. 😀

[@ai1een876]

I don’t like the look of the La-Z-Boy recliners ...well actually there’s different styles of La-Z-Boy recliners, but my mother now needs those lift chairs and I wish they could make those in something that looked decent.

[@BreakingStubad]

“… knit yourself a scarf! I don’t wanna hear anymore about it” is my favourite part of the whole video

I agree with everything so far… but I love my Edison lightbulbs in my living room, I’m definitely going for a candle light atmosphere without having to worry about burning the house down, though 😅

[@Lili-xq9sn]

I completely agree! I LOVE the look of Edison Bulbs and the atmosphere they give!!! Classic style!

[@adaynadir]

@@Lili-xq9sn Exactly! They obviously have a place, like you can’t really do your make up or prep your food by their light, but they’re fantastic at creating a cosy atmosphere!

[@Jewelybee7]

I agree!

[@lizrehrauer2031]

Edison bulbs are going out onto my screened in porch. I don’t need light to see, just for the evening, and they will stay lit on a porch, candles won’t.

[@twilde3754]

Yep. I agree. But I would add barn doors anywhere but on a barn, recycled wood accent walls, cheap silver-coated appliances, "purchased minimalism".

[@LisaHoltDesign]

Sooooo true! Theres soooo many more, for another video! xoxoxo L

[@JoRiver11]

I am staying in a small suite at the moment that has almost no wall space to start with, made worse by barn doors that eat up a couple of the only spaces to hang art or put a book shelf.

[@joysgirl]

Agreed, overdone and overplayed. I can understand the need to have a sliding door for cramped spaces, but can we leave the clunky hardware and barn wood at the ranch?

[@nonamegivenatbirth]

I couldn’t agree more about the barn doors. I have eight of them…in my BARN! 🤣🐴 Never in my house.

[@Yadubya]

Yes! The barn door aesthetic is thankfully on its last leg! 🤣🤣

[@Will4fun]

Lisa, thank you for clarifying the difference between minimalism and uber minimalism. A lot of people have tried to recreate the uber minimalism they see in magazines and on the internet. They have mostly not been successful.

[@mellie4174]

Yes!

Yes indeed. Gray in general screams “institution” to me, not home where I come to escape institutions.

[@ginger1549]

I agree. We just had new floors installed in our main living area and we had only one non grey choice.

[@kimberlyperrotis8962]

I highly recommend not using any material that requires grouting, or soft rock like marble, around the sink and stove. It’s impossible to keep grout clean and marble can’t take vigorous cleaning, scratches and stains. After one bubbling pot of pasta sauce, the backsplash will have zits forever.

[@radhiadeedou8286]

What about granite?

[@toomanymarys7355]

Epoxy grout cleans up perfectly. :)

[@tracyfoltz2657]

Exactly... glass backsplash is perfect for the kitchen. Cement will stain AND it needs to be sealed every year.

[@josepharboleda335]

I recently developed a habit of visiting Japanese thrift stores to buy plates and bowls coz I've decided that I will NEVER have the same plate/bowl design. I find it more interesting and fun than using plate/bowl sets. PLUS it's easier to replace one if it breaks -- just grab a pretty and unique one at the thrift store. I live solo (and I'm a bit of an artist) so this works for me and my creative mind.

[@LisaHoltDesign]

Joan!!! I wanted to point out that uber minimalism is just not realistic at ALL!!! 🙅🏼‍♀️ It's super easy to fall into the minimalism culture and before you know it, everything is gone!!! No character in the home at all!! 😳 I am so glad you guys saw that through and agree with me on this.. Thank you so much for watching, I'm so happy you enjoyed it!! 🙌🏼💞😇

[@jeanvignes]

My place has been accidentally uber minimalist for 18 months due to a series of unfortunate events. Gah. I'm starting a new job soon and looking forward to putting actual furniture into my hollow gray box of a rental house. Whew. I have one chair, one desk, one bed, and that's about it. I am very tired of living out of cardboard boxes in the closets.

[@LisaHoltDesign]

Hey Jean, can totally relate! You'll get some new things, but ones you love, that's the fun!!! xoxoxo L

[@cathylehman7538]

God love you, Jean. Life is full of chapters. Hang in there, a new one is right around the corner. Keep the faith!

[@determigda]

A green plant can bring a White Wall to life or fill a corner, till you can buy what you need or like. I think We all started with our furniture from our teenage rooms, when We moved away from home and filled in the gaps along the way😎 My first adult bed was second hand and the madress was hopeless. Strings with a cover😵‍💫 sooo you will get there in time and as life changes around you… so does your style. Im 53 and went from kids toys and schoolbooks to a single adult White home… to now Living on a farm, where White is impracticle🙃

[@sblemmon]

My minimalism is due to analysis paralysis or stunted self expression. I might need professional help.

[@dotink]

Good luck Jean, sorry you had to go through whatever happened, and I am glad things are looking up.

[@loserplanet]

Edison bulbs are great for movie nights! Warm and cozy. Enough light to go get a snack but not enough to disrupt the atmosphere. 🙌

[@tinar8828]

Don’t really understand the point about thrifting. Is it really a “trend” to buy things you like at the thrift store? If so, it’s a much better trend than over-buying at a regular retail store! Besides I think what should be “over” is chalk-painting farmhouse white or gray over gorgeous wood grain! (Also I 1000% prefer the “cabinet” in turquoise to that dead gray.)

[@sgueymard]

😆😊 Me TOO!!!

[@Ircar47]

You nailed ! The weekender fast flippers -ruined many vintage and antique pieces of furniture ,that could be restored to it glory.I'm so tired of mice and battleship gray, espresso color and more often "dead" dread rather than sophisticated matte.

[@KB-jl7tm]

The turquoise cabinet was better BEFORE!

[@elainelouve]

@@Ircar47 the irony is 20 or 30 years into the future people will look at these pieces "that's such a 2020 color!" And "why did they feel like repainting everything back then?" Ok, the 2020 colors might be really trendy at that point, who knows, but anyway we're doing a lot of the same mistakes that we've accused people in the 60's and 70's of doing. Like destroying old houses and apartments by "modernizing" everything. We happen to have an antique kitchen cabinet that was painted orange in the 70's. We painted it eggplant color in 2010 to make it fit our style better, but it's really sad the original paint is long gone. I suspect it might have even had some folk art decorations, but the 70's was what it was.

[@JonathonV]

I know what you mean! There’s a store in my city that sells antique furniture that they’ve painted all gaudy with bright colours and over-accentuated imperfect lines like it’s done by a 6-year-old. I wish they’d just stop ruining these pieces! Some of them were hideous anyway, but …

[@fredrenn8934]

Thank you! I couldn't agree more! Especially the glass tile and word art!

The macrame looked beautiful. It depends on the design. The ones you presented, I'd love to have.

I was home for Christmas break when I got a call that my college apartment had been broken into. The thieves unplugged my waterbed and all the water dripped down three floors. This was in 1976 and I still remember how unhappy my father was that he had to leave a football game to drive me back to my college town so I could pack up and get out of Dodge fast!

[@tinaschmanski6049]

You missed the biggest one. GRAY!!!!!!!!! Could we please have a little color. I am so tired of gray. How about a warm neutral?

[@scpatl4now]

I love neon art! It doesn't even have to be words. I have 2 long wavy lines that were made out of scrap pieces (one is mostly blues and greens and the other is reds and oranges). One has a soft blue triangle at the end and the other has a yellow circle. It covers the whole wall and is definitely a statement piece and I love it! If you know someone that bends neon...they would probably be able to do this

Awesome video!! Oh no !! Not the peel and stick!! LOL!! Actually it's a perfect solution for renters. But for your owned home, nope!! Edison bulbs are for steam punk, which is where they should stay! I still miss a few of the old southwest pieces! But mostly, it's the Japandi style for me!

Really enjoy your videos Lisa. Just finished renovating my 80s condo, and there 6 inch strips of mosaic tile (not glass) in the bathrooms above the sinks and in the shower niches. Same in the kitchen below large subway tile backsplash. I didn’t want it on whole walls because it looks too much like invading bugs. I replaced the orange Edison bulbs in the kitchen pendants with ones that are the same style, but clear. (Much better) And you’ll have to pull my cold dead body off the COFFEE sign, cause that’s the only thing that will get my butt out of bed every morning and I want the whole world to know it! 😎

[@susanwingblade1799]

Lisa, I love your style and how you present different looks. I've been married for 51 years. All of that time I've been a collector of fine Americana antiques. I keep hearing that "cottage" is making a comeback. My home is very tasteful. None of the thrifted or that awful cutesy stuff. I enjoy other looks, but this is definitely my go to. Is "cottage" making a comeback? If so, would you be willing to do an episode with the modern combined with cottage? I love the look of most of the layouts in County Home.

[@wannabe5497]

If you ever suffered from a bad back, you'd understand the love for cozy, comfie recliners.

[@amiblack8294]

While those might feel comfy, they are the opposite of what a back with disc issues needs. It will delay healing actually. My husband broke his back in 3 places and the technician who designed his brace told him to buy a firm upright chair with arms on it, sit in it with feet on the floor. He did so religiously and within 2 months those fractures healed beautifully-the x ray doesn't lie.

[@madeyed2702]

It for sure feels good, but actually not great for bad back and maintaining posture.

Hi Lisa: I agree with most of your don'ts. Unfortunately, I love macrame used for hanging plants, even my style isn't boho. But I think it's a nice DIY project using natural material in neutral tones and, if done in a simple way, it can look great in a corner to add a little something. Even though they are complicated to water. Greetings from Spain. I love your channel.

[@lucybraun8969]

I need some ideas for hanging plants in my kitchen. That's where they do best, but I need those plants up off my counters. No hangers I see seem to blend in well.

[@aleygeneration405]

@@lucybraun8969 You could try a vertical garden or small succulents or cactus plant in cork. If you use pothos and have shelves you could place them on top and the leaves will fall. There are other options than macrame available for hanging pots.

[@lucybraun8969]

@@aleygeneration405 There's no room for a vertical garden, and I don't need additional plants. I need some macrame alternative for two existing pots. Hobby Lobby has a good selection of metal hangers, but none work with the more modern vibe of my kitchen. Also, both of the hangers I need will be for two corner spaces where I'm taking out cabinets to facilitate clear views out the kitchen window from the living room, so the hangers cannot protrude out from the walls much more than what it takes to give the pots room. I'm thinking to go with hooks in the ceiling, but then, the question becomes what to put on the hooks to hang the pots. Maybe there's a macrame alternative, like a hanging basket on a chain that has a transitional vibe. I want something that looks high end chic, not cheap and chintzy. Thank you for the stab at it.

[@vaderladyl]

Oh my gosh, not the blue carpets!!! 🙈 I forgot about those!! 🤣🤣🤣

[@SisterStylist4]

Love this video and the alternative options you provided!!

[@LisaHoltDesign]

Yippeee so glad you loved this video Stacey!! ❤️ Always here to share the best alternatives for you guys that are still holding on to these older trends!!! 🥰

[@marilynfranks8995]

I agree with everything EXCEPT (you knew that was coming) recliners. With a fused back, the high end chairs just don't cut it comfort-wise. I hate them, but what to do for bad backs? I've tried every chair possible and nothing else works. Personally, I wish mid century modern and farmhouse style would go away as they are way overdone. Fight me. lol

[@j.m.7056]

Have you tried a Stressless chair? Might work for you. Pricey but worth it if it works.

[@pattimarcoe466]

ooooooh! love that! Glad you talked about recliners. My husband loves them. We are moving into a new house and he wants to get one. YuK, Yuk, super Yuk! Thanks for tips on what kind to get and not grannys or granpas!! :) Wish me luck!

I've always hated word art, right from the get-go. It has ever so slightly a vibe of control freak rules and labels.

[@valeriemcdonald440]

This was a fun list because it was different than a lot of ones I've seen, but also more controversial! That Natuzzi style recliner always looks like it belongs in a villain's house to me. The old evil businessman trope lol Ooo, the macrame part is interesting. I liked the first example you showed way better than any of the alternatives!

[@debbiemac1923]

Isn't is really just personal preference? And how long before these "trends" are "out" ?

[@lkreinmiller-author]

I just bought a house that the kitchen was remodeled about two years ago with the horizontal glass tile backsplash and I love it. My previous kitchen had linoleum backsplash done in the 1940s so this is gorgeous to me. But, I say, if you love it, go for it. TOTALLY agree on the recliner.

[@cynthiafisher9907]

I put real linoleum on my counters. Red! I love it!

[@lkreinmiller-author]

@@cynthiafisher9907 my only problem with mine was it was over 30 years old and very worn.

[@nwdrip]

I get a little nervous to watch these videos... but you were right on again. I do have one of them but I’m taking the 5th on which one. Thx for setting us all straight!

[@DDspaperworks]

I’m on board with your list except the Edison bulbs! I do agree the lighting sucks, but i have a sentimental reason to use them and it works in my entryway and dining room. Thanks for sharing and guiding us through our “style adventures”. They really do help and bring a chuckle, which we can all use!

[@Lili-xq9sn]

I completely agree!

[@margod9464]

So glad to see you get rid of Edison bulbs! We are planning a new home and it is hard to find fixtures that don't have Edison bulbs. What bulbs work to replace them style wise?

[@lovepilie]

My boho self agrees with the Macrame diss XD I kind of like it, but I could not bring myself to actually use it somewhere in my space... it brings back too many bad memories of my childhood, like all these dust-filled fabric decors (Macrame, granny covers...) that triggered intense asthma attacks XD I can still smell the crunchy polyester clothes and mothball scent that came along with it XD

[@calgal8915]

Haha, the first hair salon I worked in had woven blinds AND the guys I worked with SMOKED all day long. Oh, they work open polyester shirts with gold necklaces. Can u imagine the hairspray and smoke in those blinds? Those were the days…

[@lovepilie]

@@calgal8915 haha I can really picture it!

[@barbb7826]

My mother had a macrame Santa face hang on the wall every year. I loved it as a kid, but I threw it out when a box of old holiday decor was given to me. The macrame orange and brown blankets I also grew up with; a blanket with holes.😬

[@AnaBeaverhausen]

It’s the dust that stops me from even trying.

[@yzolakitchi]

As ever, a wonderful and info-taining vid! Thanks for keeping it real, Lisa! Would love your thoughts on texture and pattern in a video. Specifically how to effectively combine them in a space without it seeming either too bland and matchy or else causing eye-bleeding visual overload! Things to consider across different styles like MCM or traditional would also be great. Have a wonderful rest of your day!

[@LisaHoltDesign]

Yzola!! What a PERFECT conversation to start over in the Dezign Club!!! 👍🏼 Without a doubt I will address this along with specific design questions in the Club!!! Make sure you are signed up here www.thedezignclub.com/ so you get prepped for the launch happening SUPER soon!!! 😉

OMG! Word art! Thank you! Reminds me of Hobby Lobby.

[@ToughLoveRecords]

Can we ban TVs over the fireplace? Why do people want to mess up their neck watching their expensive TV shrine slowly fry over time? Also... I have a beautiful simple fireplace on a teak wall in small living room. Is it better to hang a mirror over the fireplace and art on each side or one piece of art over the fireplace and floor length mirrors on each side (or just large plants or nothing)?

[@LisaHoltDesign]

I totally hear you on this - I am the SAME WAY!!! 😝 Depending on the layout of your living room, of course, I would go with the art piece above the fireplace and then the art on the sides.. Definitely make the fireplace shine its gorgeousness, don't make it look too busy!!! 🤩🙌🏼🧡

[@Isleskye]

Oh, Good one. And too often the angle is horrible for neck comfort’s sake.

[@dianedo8314]

Looking fab Lisa- Loving the glasses! Good tips- thanks! Will try to avoid cuz u r right - too much saturation of trends that I will avoid when we move in to our new build home at the end of this year! Excited foe sure - teleworking got me to get in to mid life crisis mode and wanted a change in scenery from our current home of 22 years! Thanks again for great info!

Amen to the macrame! I like boho style, but macrame makes me cringe.

[@susanprendergast7384]

Gracious, she was spot on with every single example! Every one is a peeve of mine. I didn't care for macrame the first time around. The skinny horizontal multiclored tiles were dated and unlovely the day they came out. So true about eliteist decor! "Look, I can afford an actual maid to clean my rooms every day!". What a relief to know someone is on the same page! I was feeling a bit lonely up here on my island. Thanks for being here!

[@indysmith4437]

Spot on, as ever, Lisa! I spot a lot of those tired overdone trends sadly in homes up for sale online. Doesn’t do the vendors any favours. Yep, macrame is boring. Another trend I find overdone is oversized clocks. What’s with that?

[@angelapruisman536]

Thank you for the great tips, Lisa, I love your energy! Agreed, don't know why we need signs declaring "kitchen", "beach house", etc. I confess that there are a few Primitives by Kathy wooden box signs that I still love; I sneak them in here and there because they have personal meaning. I like mixing old with the new!

[@LisaHoltDesign]

LOVE this approach Angela!!! 👏🏼 At least you can see how it might be overwhelming, but a few pieces that have meaning to you never hurt!!! 😉💚

[@JonathonV]

Your comment reminds me: When I was a preteen I painted my bedroom triumph blue, created 3D letters that spelled “book”, “bed”, “desk”, etc. and put them on the walls. I painted all my furniture white and silver and it looked so spacey. I thought it was the coolest thing ever. 😄 But that was the 1990s, and my tastes have changed somewhat!

Lisa, I really love you, but I don't want to hear that my mosaic tile fireplace is outdated! The colors are a subtle blue that almost look like sea glass, and it really does go with our design style. Please, please let me know if you think this is okay for a fireplace surround. We have ceramic subway tile on our kitchen backsplash.

[@Lili-xq9sn]

It's fine especially if you love it!

[@toomanymarys7355]

It'll be another decade before people start really thinking it's dated.

[@cherpeters8775]

Although I agree with almost everything you suggest, who has the time or money to replace the backsplash every time a new style becomes popular? I would love to change mine, after only 4 years, but tearing out the tile & replacing the drywall probably won't happen any time soon! Enjoy your videos - thanks.

[@LisaHoltDesign]

I totally get this Cher!!! Keep in mind that having a timeless backsplash at the start is going to save you ALL the trouble!!! 🙌🏼🧡

[@amberbanuelos7053]

We have Pottery Barn personalized chairs for our girls that travel from room to room. Definitely cuter than bean bags! I’m trying to thrift a chair for an empty space in our living room to reupholster but haven’t found one in a shape that I love, so I’ve left the space empty specifically because I don’t want to thrift something just to fill the space as I totally agree with you. As far as macrame, I still love it for hanging my plants, but I never got into putting it on my walls. I’m working on a woven wall hanging to incorporate texture (I’m a boho girl) as I agree, it just looks better.

[@daneekaplan4284]

I have the opposite problem, I found a chair I loved intending to do a deconstructed look but moved to a house that is NOT deconstructed so I have to do something else...I have the chair but no plans as to what to do with it.
