I know some of the things from places like Zara home or H&M home might sound tempting, but this is just a reminder for everyone to please remember these are both very unethical brands that also aren’t environmentally friendly. Fast fashion itself is something we should all be aware about, but now they’re making home items? I know it’s been a thing for awhile but that just seems like one of the worst choices they could’ve ever made in my opinion. It’s impossible to shop 100% ethical, so none of us are perfect, but try not to buy any furniture or home items from these brands! I still love Nick ❤️
@Nick_Lewis3 жыл бұрын
Thank you for the reminder, I totally would rather people invest in quality pieces that will stand the test of time. For environment reasons, to support the artists and craftspeople that make the products and also because they are more beautiful in my opinion. I will add on though, that I was surprised to see that a lot of the products at Zara Home were made of quality materials. In fact, I'd definitely argue that some of these furniture pieces made of acacia, teak and ash will hold up longer than a lack table from IKEA. Now in terms of business practices or how it operates as a retailer, that is something I won't defend! Thanks Raegan!

I worked at Zara Home for many years, and the stuff that you consider the "worst" was actually our best seller in the location I worked (London). Zara home is split into 5 major categories; Basics, Classic/Hotel collection, Contemporary, Country and Ethnic. The Country collection (cottage core) was a constant seller, laced edged and mimosa printed bedsheets, country style glassware and toile de jouy printed cushions, customers couldn't get enough. The contemporary stuff looks really nice, but quality can be hit or miss due to materials used, and most don't realise that the majorly of the vases are not water safe, so not suitable for real flowers. Alot of the decretive items you can find similar at H&M home or homesense. But what i think they do well in style and in quality is bedsheets, crockery, glassware and home fragrance.

"Sorry, not sorry." 🤣You're the best! Agreed with all your pics and avoids. Your farmhouse to japandi is spot on. Would love to see you go in more detail on how to accomplish this. Again, thanks for putting out another inspiring video.

lol - yes, we Canadians tend to say vahz vs American Vaysssse for "vase" - there are many differences in how we pronounce things. But because our accents are so close, it is more jarring when one word in a whole monologue is pronounced in an unexpected way. Unlike when speaking with someone from, say, Australia where every word is pronounced differently. Other possible words for which we get picked on - mauve and scone (although a lot of people are pronouncing it the American way now, I noticed). I love your snarkiness, really cheers me up!

I have a Zara Home store near me, and while they don't have any furniture, they do have really good accessories. I love buying vases, photo frames, dishes and knick knacks from them. I also have some throws that are the coziest and softest! We used to fight over them so I had to get one for each of us.

I'm so sad you barely mentioned the textiles! I actually don't like a lot of the tableware and accessories because they are too textured and rustic looking for me. But the textiles... to me that's the best thing on offer at Zara Home, the bedding especially. I have several duvet covers from Zara, made in Italy and Portugal, and the quality is just amazing for the price (jacquard and beautiful satin cotton). They have such a gorgeous selection of different designs and prints.

The cringe for those pillows though😂 Also, is that your house? I'm sure I'm not the only one who would love a walk through one day. But in your own time😊

This is my house, yes. It flooded in November and all of my past videos from December onwards were in an Airbnb.

@@Nick_Lewis Yes; I've watched many of your other videos so I know what happened. It must feel nice to be home😊 I mentioned this under one of your other videos, but if you ever did videos in interior design from more of a teaching/learning standpoint, like through Patreon or SkillShare, I'd be interested. I want to learn more about interior design; your videos have helped further spark that desire.

Agreed on those crocheted pillows, but if they were monochromatic i think they would have more of a modern tulum vibe. You should do a video on Tulum style! You should check out some of the hotels ie Be Tulum, Nomade, Radhoo. It’s a mix of warm neutral, mid century and wabi sabi - great inspo for outdoor spaces in Canada
