Oh Nick, thanks for giving me the name of those Togo sofas! Ever since I saw them in an acquaintance's home all I could think of is that they look like 1 step up from the old beanbag chairs! 😄 Two things I'm sticking on: Ruffles are only ok in a little girls bedroom. Boucle will forever look like someone's cat pre-clawed the fabric for you! As per usual, great video!

[@JohanneMatthew]

I used to be a commercial interior designer specializing in hotels and restaurants. I am so used to designing my tables and upholstered pieces and having them made - especially from the hotel work, I would just purchase one extra for myself. My sofa is now 24 years old and I still love it! It works in traditional and in contemporary interiors and currently I am in my English Art Deco period. I will be moving into an apartment in 2 years time, and so am thinking of doing Parisian grand apartment. I like spaces to show the personality of the owner, not what is trendy!

[@PJPerdue1293]

Interesting! When my ex was a teenager in the 1970s he worked at his family's hotel. I still use one of that hotel's wooden coffee tables and it's the best-made piece of furniture I've ever seen. (50 years old!) I wonder if they had it custom-made.

[@JohanneMatthew]

@@PJPerdue1293 Yes it would be, especially if it was for the casegoods in the hotel rooms. Because of the economies of scale, designers give a distinct look to the hotel rooms. This has changed a lot in the last 10 years with technology. Flat Screen televisions are wall mounted and do not take up space on dressers. Dressers are gone (except at resorts (if you are staying a week or two, you need somewhere to put your clothes). Desks are still needed, easy chairs not so much. I remember doing a lounge at a hotel and adding an extra leather wrapped rattan chair to the order for me. I had that chair for 25 years and gave it to my daughter for the house which she rented with 3 other friends in second year university. I bet it is still in the house. As well, on the resorts, the antique contractor would give me something as a "thank-you" for the order - that is how I received my shield back Gibbard of Napanee dining chairs from the 1930's. I love them!

[@MichelleJBitunjac]

You had me at Art Deco and Parisian Grand Apartment.

[@dking1362]

I want to show my personality, too. However, to be honest, for the average person (not wealthy, not a designer) choices are often limited by the trends that have trickled down. I wanted some yellows, spring greens, pink - feminine - and I can't tell you how difficult and frustrating it is to find; everything is grays, neutrals, terracotta.

[@kateyare4708]

I love, love, love hotel furniture and have always wished I could get that furniture for my home.

As a minimalist, maximalism streeses me out!! I'm buying a house soon and wanting less stuff but nice deep tones on the walls!! Minimalism doesn't have to be boring. Love the video as always!!

[@PJPerdue1293]

I'm not a minimalist but I agree. Maximalist rooms seem like they're shouting right into your face. The opposite of soothing.

[@bananarama480]

As a maximalist, minimalism _is_ boring. I find minimalistic spaces unpersonal, uninspired and soulless. Maximalism done right is a feast for the eyes and warms the heart.

[@amanda5nicole]

@@bananarama480 Minimalism doesn’t have to mean soulless though-that's just the Instagram aesthetic. I have my own artwork, family photos, a map of my travels on my walls. I'm intentional about what I bring in and keep and try to keep surfaces mostly clear (I don't keep thing out of guilt). When I buy my house, I won’t stick to white and grey walls; I want deep green, black accents, and texture. Less stuff, but more meaningful. Look into colorful minimalism!

Regarding wood slat walls: I had one in the bedroom where I rented. The between spaces between the slats are ideal places for spiders to breed. One has to regularly clean with lavender scented polish & brush to keep the wall free of insects.

[@FootstepsandFeasts]

I genuinely find the type of maximalist environments pictured that you described as being too much, too overstimulating and uncomfortable as the most comfortable. It's the level of busyness I need to feel truly relaxed and cosy, like I'd want to at home. I find it so interesting that others find it hard to relax or feel comfortable in these type of spaces. Obviously, everyone should create a home at whatever level of minimalism/maximalism is comfy for them.

[@Pinkosaurus]

I think true maximalists are born, not made. Some of us just have more-is-more brains and crave a ton of visual stimulation

[@louismeyer5132]

The thing about extreme Maximalist is that it should not a be seen as a trend but a way some people choose to live.

[@Pearlstrand]

a/k/a "I can't make up my mind/hoarder" vibe.

[@vaderladyl]

It is actually a lifestyle, not a trend, that has been around for many, many decades. It is in reality, a branch of eclectic/boho style. The beauty is that can be customized to your level of taste in quantity of the amount of stuff you want to put in a space.

[@vaderladyl]

@@Pearlstrand nope, not really. Hoarding is a mental disease and it is usually dirty, disorganized places which Maximalism is not.

[@Smallbutdecentlypricedham]

That is me. I always liked a lot of colour, and have a lot of stuff on the walls. I have a lot of books, pillows, you name it. My mother and grandmother were the same. I didn't do it on purpose, its more like if I like the blue curtains I will get them and I don't care if they match the sofa or the walls lol

Definitely maximalist / dark academia but everything curated and good flow of space (nothing squeezed in anywhere). Been here 2 years now and loving it every single day. Visitors are in awe at its cosyness, warmth, interest and character. Definitely not cluttered just super interesting.

Hey I’m one of the five Gen Zers who watch your videos! I despiseee those scallops omg, idk who decided that everything needs to be squiggly now!

Darling Nick. I don't follow trends with anything, but I adore you and I take a lot of pleasure in home design and I do actually listen to your gems of brilliance. I also knew when I purchased my white boucle lounge it was going to date but I just couldn't help myself, I knew I needed someone to drag me the hell away but I went shopping by myself that day...friends have since banned me from doing that. I have made some silk throws from my vintage silk saris and kinda have those thrown about, they hide most of my design mistakes, they're probably huge design mistakes in and of themselves but hey, my friends are weird like me and they love 'em so...I have 3 full lounges and several floor cushions flung about the loungeroom ( it's quite a large room ) but for now the boucle ` atrocity has to stay...at least it's comfortable if nothing else 😅

[@margarettownley1870]

Visited a showhome yesterday, scorching hot day, the man very kindly offered my 4 year old a popsicle from the freezer. I spent the rest of the visit in a panic that she would drip red raspberry stickiness on all the white bouclé the place was filled with!!!! Not everyone has a 4yo, of course, but I certainly won't be putting any in my house 😂

[@lyndaboonstra5605]

If you saw anything that could handle a popsicle wielding 4 year old, than that's the furniture you buy.

[@lyndathorpe280]

I have a teal sofa from 2021 and it’s still comfortable and the colour focal point in my lounge. It’s not gong anywhere and hope when people purchase big items they consider the sustainability of it and avoid landfill because it’s passe.

[@missg.5940]

I have teal too and l love it! Looks great with plants, silver etc.

[@skylark.kraken]

2:38 as someone who has spent a lot of time in a psychiatric hospital, they're not minimalist places; just posters alone, thousands of them with their own competing design languages and different fonts where most of them have obvious or pointless information so they can be treated as just wallpaper. Many different types of chair because they have to cater to everyone's preferences, some like hard chairs, some like soft chairs, some like wrap around, some like it open. If you are talking about padded rooms, that's something I assume a lot of people would want in their home - my attic may be effectively a padded room, it's very comfy and very cosy

[@mistydevillier2197]

I just can't get into boucle! It reminds me of the popcorn ceilings, but on furniture.

Me, too. I’m “classic-traditional “ plus minimalist in my design choices (which I consider timeless), and I enjoy Nick’s videos.

[@AbbiZika]

As a recovering maximalist, it is also unlivable because you have NOWHERE to do things or put things! There is not a single surface left untouched 😂 needed this!

[@wolfwise1135]

Unfortunately I will fill surfaces with clutter regardless so I might as well cover everything in pretty things. I think maximalism is for people with a certain brain chemistry, it’s not a choice it’s just existence.

[@juliekring7574]

11:18 growing up in the late 90s early 2000s my parents had a big ass moopy green (real) leather sectional. It was heaven. Multiple people could lay lengthwise, it was indestructible to children and our black lab, the armrests were so big and soft you never needed a pillow, excellent lumbar support, in the summer it stayed cool and comfortable... All in all it was the supreme couch. If someone out there could make something like that trendy then I would be in their debt. If not, then bring back those couches that were actually just pillow lined pits in the middle of the living room floor. The puff puff pass era knew a thing or two about communal comfort.

[@LlyleHunter]

Boucle is like chenille. If you don’t vacuum the upholstery every day you’re going to have dust floating in the air all over your house and it’s going to land on your other furniture.

[@br1anthep1rate]

I recently replaced my living room furniture with the Article Ceni set that I saw in one of your older videos. So hearing them called out in this video was amusing to me because I absolutely love this "new to me" living space. If anyone needs me, I'll be perpetually 3 years behind lol

Wood slat walls are for acoustic treatment -- so like a theater or listening room where you want to dampen echos. They will always be appropriate for that purpose.

[@lizbecker1677]

I'm a boomer. I'm not a fan of the scalloped, frilled stuff, but I LOVE those squiggly candlesticks! I would buy those and display them in my living room in a heartbeat.

[@realamanda1943]

Every trend that rolls around (and back around, and back around again) I learn a new thing about what I like in my space, even if it's not that trend! I learned from the mid-century modern and scandi vibes that I love natural wood tones, I learned from maximalism that I like an elegant and ornate frame, I learned from the shabby chic times that I like finding lived-in treasures instead of seeking out a very specific type/brand. I'm cool when trends come and go because I feel like I learn a bit more about my personal taste and what makes me happy!

[@woman-of-complete-justice]

Nick , as it seems you are the only one that understands me : slatted wood walls here in Greece is EVERYWHERE ! They put it in everything new concerning building , almost in all new buildings on exterior walls and balcony curtains . Architects and decorators make designs with this in interior spaces , either to separate rooms , as decorative on the wall , in bathrooms , e.t.c . Sometimes I feel my eyes divided into thin pieces of wood , this feeling coming from looking to all of these .

[@JackNapierDe]

Some of these slated wood walls you show in your video are actually acoustic wall panels. Friends installed them to improve their living room's acoustics which was very minimalistic and therefore echoy. But they also did only parts of the walls.

[@rebeccarendle3706]

I do not buy into trends.. but I LOVE watching you talk about them.. especially when you rip them to shreds with your sarcastic humor Nick😂.

[@dreamie9868]

I loved slat walls and thought they were very visually pleasing, but they became so extremely trendy to the point where I don't know if I can look at them anymore. Hopefully I can change my feelings because I had plans on incorporating them into my house. I love the "zen" feeling they evoke.

[@zrunner800]

You can have whatever you like in your house. A slat wall is still lovely, especially if you’re doing a modern thing with the rest of your space. I just did a modern fireplace surround and floating hearth with a custom walnut slat wall and I think it looks great

[@coffeeright9324]

It’s funny, I love Nick and I just love to learn how to decorate and mostly due to financial constraints I’ve ridden out every trend since 2002. I bought high quality furniture, what little I could afford, then just took care of it. Mostly light wood, earth tones, simple uncluttered lines, green corduroy sofas, Southwestern accents. White kitchen. Just my own personal preferences. Totally uncool for 20 years as I watched various trends come and go but I love my home. And now it’s kind of cool again my grown kids tell me, so that’s funny. Who knew that’s how trends would work?! Thanks for great videos, Nick! You make decorating and design fun!

My favorite and forever-timeless sofas: a neutral cloud sectional (soft and used, not boxy) or a classic and neutral Spanish-country-feel slip cover sofa (just think Nancy Meyers). Dress these sofas up with some warm and natural-toned cushions, and there you will have comfort and style for life.

For example, is it ethical to promote furniture/decor trends that cycle so quickly? How should people responsibly source and discard of furniture that they’re cycling through their space, whose responsibility is it to influence/de-influence such an unsustainable industry practice of new annual trends, how to approach a timeless style and avoid trends etc. I’d love to see a video covering these types of topics.

The wooden walls are very popular in Scandinavia and often used to improve the acoustics. They usually come with felt in between and are awful dust magnets. Great video you´re quite funny with your snarky remarks😄

Nick, you are my favorite find of 2024!

[@lorinmills9652]

Always love your content and sweet humor!

[@Jennifer-xs2sh]

I AGREE with you Nick...I really love the slatted walls. MERRY CHRISTMAS 🎉❤

[@StacyWagner-hv5hg]

You make my day! Love you so much and I hear voice now when I look at design photos 😂

[@douglasbrandt4068]

15:03 If the woods slats end at a logical spot in conjunction with furniture, architecture or threshold, i think it can totally work -- especially if any of the ratios apply. (E.g., Rule of Thirds, Fibonacci, Golden Ratio, etc.) Unfortunately, not everyone knows how to apply these properly.

[@stella-gx8ne]

Cleaning those walls??????? UGH!!! So much crap gets behind them and impossible to get out. Bad Bad Bad

[@katrish786]

I agree with Nick on all of these, but I don't like the slatted wood walls for the same reason I despise open shelving in the kitchen; keeping them clean is going to be a pain in the butt. Nick, I agree with the comment I saw about the additional lighting in your living room. It looks much brighter and better with more light. It looked depressing before.

[@MyFocusVaries]

Agreed. Dusting between the slats?! Bleh

[@MikeAnderson-jd2rw]

Sorry but can we finally ditch everything gray? Gray wall, gray houses. I'm over everything looking like the Death Star.

[@sidrasiddiqui1852]

Yes plz 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

[@circeus]

AT least the death start has that retrofuturism/cassette futurism thing going for it!

[@phoearwenien4355]

Haha, I don't think so in respect to surfaces :D I think gray wall is as timeless as white and beige :D But I agree everything gray must go. I have the same reservations to all monochromatic designs regardless of colour.

[@pixie3760]

@@MikeAnderson-jd2rw oh god yes I absolutely agree ! I hate grey as a colour as it is, if I want to look at something dark and gloomy I'll go outside in the rain, grey's so bloody depressing!!!

[@pompurin9431]

french gray is elegant though

[@winterwanderland]

You just saved me from a big mistake! 😅 I'm literally looking at new couches online to stage my home for sale. Wavering between two couches and almost ordered the boucle. Dodged that bullet!

[@glockenrein]

I still like the boucle but I think it depends on the way you live (pets, kids, do you eat on the sofa).

[@winterwanderland]

@glockenrein I actually have never seen it in person. I live in a mountainous area several hours away from any furniture store. I've only seen them online and I really like them. For me, they look cozy and I would prefer one, but I think I need to stay more neutral in terms of style right now. I do have pets. Is boucle a negative with pets?

[@glockenrein]

@@winterwanderland claws tend to snag on the boucle fabric and pet hair is difficult to vacuum off so I’d say they’re not amazing together. I also think it looks very cozy though.

[@vaderladyl]

boucle is actually a timeless fabric but has been overdone in modern furniture, plus it is definitely not a fabric for everyone.

[@Peachlover345]

I like seeing the growing seasonal decor behind you with each video

[@Print229]

Alidad, Rita Konig and others, especially in UK, have been doing Maximalism long before the word came along... And they are still going strong.

[@bananarama480]

True. And they all are great. It takes so much more to pull all of these pieces beautifully together than put a wooden chair, a big fig plant and an empty picture frame in a room and call this a style. 🥱

[@oscarwildin8143]

but those designers (just looked them up!) seem to have much more taste and ability than the us ones he was talking about! the ones in the video were just,, almost impossible to look at, let alone think in, while the designers you’re talking about know how to create a cohesive space

[@mashenka6189]

You crack me up so much, “ 2 girls from Brooklyn “ ❤ from Australia…

[@zenabumblebee9738]

Hey Nick, Every time I look at your floor lamp, I think of the plant in Little Shop of Horrors. I love it!

[@jdmodels1968]

UK GenX viewer here, I've just installed a slatted walnut wall but at least I've gone whole wall 🤣

[@See-genes]

I spit laughed my way through this and am validated that you are a man after my own heart. Genius. ❤️

[@morfrid4262]

Omg, thanks for putting a name to the decorating style I've been aiming for my home. Great video, as always. Totally agree about the squiggles, fun, but not very versatile IMO. Off to look at some organic modern inspo pics! 😅
