8 Things Interior Designers Love For 2023❤️

[@nitamccall9289]

Yes another tip…. Move the runner to the hall ❤ thanks for sharing 😊

[@bricksloth6920]

I love texture, but I don't want textural surfaces, even handmade or natural, in my kitchen because of my hygiene concerns. It looks like hidey holes to grow bacteria. But if you don't cook maybe it's not a problem.

[@brenmanock]

Thanks so much!

[@redkudu]

Picture lights! You can now get picture lights that are cordless and rechargeable. I am sooo happy to have found them because my 1930s house only has a few places for plugs, and never where I want them. You attach a plate to the wall, then slide the light down into the plate. When you need to recharge, you simply slide the light out of the plate, recharge at a plug, then slide them back into the plate. Found mine on Amazon.

[@LesaBear612]

How long do they hold a charge? I’d like one for a bedside sconce, but I don’t want to have to charge it every day. I’m sure it’s dependent on the individual light, but if you can give me an idea, it would be helpful. Thanks.

[@redkudu]

​@@LesaBear612 Mine are good for 2-3 weeks, I turn them on for an hour or so every other evening depending on when I'm relaxing in the living room.

Great to know, thanks!

Quartzite depends on the literal piece on how porous some are much much stronger than granite I’m building a home and bought several slabs.

[@buildergradetocustommade]

I chose classic warm finished wood cabinets, polished travertine tiles, and oil rubbed bronze when everyone was doing white cabinets, marble and brass. (It's not even slightly "Tuscan" looking.) I just feel they are more timeless. We'll see.

[@RachelReiss]

Love the part about runners! When we redid the floors in our front entryway, I said that we needed a runner with greenish blue in it, and my mom was all "There's nothing greenish-blue in this hall, there's nothing at all here!" And I said, "But we have a greenish-blue sofa." And we ended up with a matching runner in the kitchen (covering a cushy stand-on mat, that we kept tripping over), and it not only pulls the three spaces together, by enlarging the kitchen mat visually it made it much safer. (And cleaner, since the runners are washable.)

Love your take on what’s happening in 2023. I’m old so I’ve seen so many iterations of old to new. I’m with you on have what you like and don’t fall into changing every year. I have furniture from the mid 40s through 2022, all in different spaces of course, but I know what I like and invest in it. This was per your standard a great video.☀️

[@GarrettLeChic]

Thanks so much! Glad you enjoyed. 😊😊😊

[@sl3772]

I recently got a vintage runner for my powder bathroom and it changed everything in the best way. It's so unique and beautiful and one I know I'll be keeping for a very long time.

[@grumpycanadiangrandma7990]

hard no on the soup cans, I have always had a love affair with lamps and sconces are the cream of the crop

[@lindawilson4625]

One really popular thing to do that I won't do is the waterfall countertop effect. It feels like a little too much of a good thing, but my real reason is that I would be chipping/damaging it when I vacuum! I know I would be all nicked up in less than a month :-) I can only imaging the damage that would be done by little children in their rolling ride in car type toys.

[@hsmd4533]

I just had Tah Mahal quartzite counters with a leathered finish installed andi LOVE them. I wanted marble but knew that stains would bother me. I’m doing zellige tiles as a backsplash. I thought about the tiles a lot and I’m still a bit nervous because I know they are trendy but I really love that handmade glazed look with the matte, leathered countertops.

[@amandavalpey1521]

Love your channel Garrett!!💕 I personally am not a fan of overly designed spaces. It’s hard to put my finger on what I mean by that. I don’t like gimmicks in design. I don’t particularly like when people place random chochkies everywhere. I appreciate old books on shelves, if you actually read the books, not just because the color matches. I love a great picture on the wall if you can tell me who took the picture, where you were on your travels when you bought it, or if it has some personal significance to you. I love when a designer can create a space that gives the appearance that the homeowner is effortlessly fashionable and has curated items over many years. Like the person naturally gravitates towards beautiful items and when they get home it is placed in their space in a way that doesn’t feel staged. I guess what I am trying to say, is a space for me, must give off an aurora of authenticity. That to me is evidence of a very talented designer.

I like my recessed cans in the kitchen.

[@jessakent2049]

I like oil-rubbed bronze, but on modern fixtures I'm meh on it. If the fixtures look antique, I like it better. My preference for metals these days is unlacquered brass that takes on that great patina. I'm a fan of herringbone patterns in wood, I have to admit I adore those old wood floors that have a border pattern. It does break up that effect of blending one room into another which helps with small rooms, but I can't talk myself out of this one. I love all your videos and have recommended you to other friends who like interior design and I talk about you all the time when I'm talking about decorating my new apartment when I move!

[@teeahrahahnet]

My old house had the oil rubbed bronze and beige walls. I ran far away from that in my new home lol. The builder grade copy and paste designs really know how to ruin a good thing

@14:24, Great! Now I have to dust the matte black tube ceiling lights every week? Hard "No". Also, I don't care what designers like. I like what I like but inspiration comes in all forms.✌

[@Timmakesmusic]

Nice sofa! And glad your little ones like it too! It's a 'no' from me as well on the 'soup tin' lights. I've never been a great fan of recessed lights either. I've lived in several places that have had them and the bulbs are always a nightmare to change, for some reason. You fight for 10 minutes to get the fitting open. Then you get a face full of dead bugs. Then you switch out the bulbs and spend another 10 minutes trying to get the fitting back in again. Eventually it stays without falling out, but you're never quite sure whether you've put it back in properly or not. I don't mind a few of them in strategic places where a normal light fixture isn't possible, e.g. in alcoves, rooms with very low ceilings etc., but they can look cheap and institutional if overused in other spaces.

[@londastreeter7269]

Those ceiling, soup can lights, the black ones especially, look like camera lenses!! I don’t want to feel like someone’s watching me!! 😂

[@mmr1646]

I agree, I do not like the can light. It does look like a soup can.

Thank you for your honesty. I also dislike can lights, always have. Runners are great. It's funny how styles always come back. I have been into style and architecture since very young. I remember appreciating architecture when I was 4 and 5 years old. At 71, I've witnessed a lot of style changes. They really make a full circle. I enjoyed a career as an interior designer and now love seeing some of the great styles return. Love your channel.

When you do the video on runners, can you add in runners on stairs?? We have wooden stairs and would like to add this but not sure how to do it? Solid color, design, loud and bold, soft and muted??? Looking forward to your advice.

[@ceehunka7344]

So I actually love the soupcan lights and I think it would work in my kitchen where I have 3 electrical boxes on the ceiling, so m a fan of urban farmhouse and I plan on painting the cupboards a darker shade, I will then decide on the colour of fixtures, my only reserve is that it will not give off enough light as my current track lighting, my ceilings are low so I can’t hang pendants which I would love to do 😪

[@heddasutherland6947]

I really enjoyed the section about runners. If you weeks ago I purchased a lovely two runner for my foyer. It has a vintage pattern with more contemporary colors. I chose it to work with tbd colors in the oil painting that hangs on the wall to its left. It makes my foyer look happy.

[@GarrettLeChic]

Thanks for sharing!

[@cs4849]

That’s a beautiful couch you got. I love cool lamps and light fixtures, but not those soup cans. Then again, I’ve never liked can lights. When we built our house last year, the builder was talking about putting in can lights and was a little startled when I said, “No! No can lights! I hate them!”

Been living with oil rubbed bronze door handles for over a year now, and still in love with it. I am with you on the quartzite, love my real marble "things" , and lovingly tolerating my "marble look" quartz in kitchen and bath areas due to the easy maintenance. Not a fan of the glazed tiles, but great for those who do though, because it's their house not mine, LOL. Runners in kitchen and bath, yes to that! It was so much fun selecting my floor art, and really added functionality (for feet) , and really added something visually interesting to those areas.

Why have a flush mounted light fixture in the year of the lamp? :P

[@GarrettLeChic]

Because lighting should be layered. There are times you do need more light which flush mount lighting is helpful for. I mention frequently in my videos layering lighting, and having at least three sources of lighting in a space not counting natural light. I just believe lamps are a big part of that process.

[@redkudu]

Hi Garrett, thanks for another video. I enjoy and learn from each one. I'm just wondering what you think about bed skirts? I don't have one, because it accumulates too much dust. I understand the bed looks more put together and elegant, but I rather have a clean environment under my bed. Am I wrong? By the way, great idea to include the angels in fur coats, that is what I call them, in each video. Blessings.

[@GarrettLeChic]

My pleasure! I would prefer beautiful bed frames be used, but I'm not opposed to a bedskirt to hide an unsightly bed frame. You are correct in that they are dust collectors. I don't use them because I want to display my bed frames. :)

Oh my, I know where I can get a half dozen of N.I.B. flat black soup can lights for only $5 a piece. I’ve been eyeing them since last year, but I really don’t need them but I thought maybe purchasing them to use in the future. They have a clean MCM appeal in my opinion. I was thinking for in a hallway, or bathroom or as you mentioned in a line over a particular area of a room.

Lol the soup can🤣🤣🤣 Good Morning Garrett, Quiet an attention grabbing 2023 design trend😍 I like the runners, low back sofa and scones thing, basically because I was able to relate to it, wait am I ageing and can’t catch up with 2023🤪 Thank you for sharing your valuable design ideas and expertise. Ohhhh I loved your sofa, loving the blues. I should admit I got attracted to it because of you, thou I never had any aversion to it earlier. I happened to bump into your videos when I got this house last year, so now my living room is cool grey, pink and royal blue combo, being fair with the girl and the blue species of this house 😛 And oh boy a big NO NO to those soup cans 🤣 Have a wonderful weekend!! Ramani 🤗🥰

Thanks so much Ramani! I'm glad you enjoyed the video, and like the sofa. It's very comfortable and well made. It is over 300 pounds. Have a great weekend! :)

@@GarrettLeChic Thanks Garrett!! Yes indeed it looks supy comfy, I guess when it’s tufted it’s bit heavier than the scandi kinda sofas.

I love herringbone and it's very common in Europe but I moved to Canada recently and im worried everyone will say it's dated or 'tacky'. Do you think herringbone works ok in a room that's not purely rectangle? My living room has some jutting angles and bay windows and I'm thinking to do herringbone there. And then use your idea to end it and do regular straight floor for the rest of the apartment. I've never thought of that before! I thought you had to use it everywhere

[@GarrettLeChic]

This is my personal preference with herringbone, but I'm sure others may opt to do everything in herringbone. I respect that, but it's not my aesthetic. Since I can't see the space, and this type of flooring is not inexpensive, I would strongly recommend having a highly qualified designer in Canada look at the space and suggest some options before doing anything. That way you can decide what you feel looks best in your space. Thanks for watching, and for your support!

Omg lovely- if you sit upright on your sofa how do you binge watch anything? Don’t tell me you have…. a….life? The rest of us need to binge. Adore you!

[@GarrettLeChic]

Thanks so much! We are very comfortable on it. :)
