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_Lewis
@Nick_Lewis 3 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!

Or ppl who are shopping for a few professional looks. As Zara has the office lady chic thing going on, on top of southern trends. Not just one particular style

When I look at some of my Cottage Journal decor magazines and Jeanne d'arc magazines, even from years past, they show the 'country' style vibe without the cheesy massed produced products and overly jammed packed accessories about. So, all these sustainable natural wood, pottery etc. looks that you talk about, fit right in with all the French cottage, cottagecore, farmhouse etc. designs. So, you might not have lost as much "Farmhouse" lovers as you thought. :) Keep up the wonderful videos. I love watching them.

I am on the side of what all high end restaurants use as dinnerware-white, white and nothing but white. The food you are serving is the star of your dining experience, and your plate should serve as a back drop, much like the canvas does for a painting. I truly fear that color of pea green will make many foods pretty unappealing. I much prefer to add beautiful napkins and a centerpiece in the colors you love, instead of using colored and patterned dishes. Obviously, my opinion, only- worth what you paid for it!😂💕

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.

I would be very cautious with woven caning in the budget zone, especially when the caning is on the seat(rather than just the back). Caning is somewhat fragile; bargain caning can sag under weight in the seat, or separate where it is attached to the wooden frame. You’ll hate yourself when it happens to you (and fixing it costs more than the product cost new)

So glad they have advanced to more natural and interesting items. I love your ideas on design and was wondering if you have ever done a video about second-hand finds on eBay? I've been really lucky with designer pieces and vintage decor items but I don't often see KZbinrs discussing it as a resource.

Love you Nick!! Your suggestions are always on spot. I am in the procedure of putting together my new home. Recently I got married so I’m in the search for timeless quality pieces for my new house and I am actually taking my time…trying to avoid buying the wrong things. I am following you for the past month and I have to admit that your suggestions make it so much easier !! Love your taste ! Kisses from Greece 🇬🇷🇬🇷🇬🇷💋💋💋

I wish I could attach a photo from my brown crocheted pillow🙄...but what can you do at home with your time during covid other than ugly handicraft?! I'm so glad I decided to do a totally different colored flip side for the pillow...it's a My Little Pony themed color combo😂

We bought a 113 year old farmhouse 6 months ago, and I swore I would not decorate it in that cheesy farmhouse - signs everywhere telling you obvious things like this is a "kitchen", duh. So, I'm with you Nick, I am also a portrait artist and have a keen eye like you do, and go for the more authentic artistic look when it comes to decor. You are right on in your opinion, the cheesy farmhouse look has to go!

I am cautious about the caning because it can be a pain to keep properly clean. If something has caning, for me the caning must be vertical not horizontal and not used in a food adjacent context. There are going to be people regretting their caning and sick of the trend real soon.

I have to say I’m pleasantly surprised by these products you introduced here. I like your honesty Nick so thank you!

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.

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
