I think I fell in love with my late husband when I saw his cozy traditional house done in beiges, greens and deep yellow. A mix of modern and traditional furniture, chunky candles on the coffee table, area rugs, clean bathroom w matching towels. Clean bedding with coordinating topper. Everything chosen by him. He loved gardening, music and kung fu, Buddhism. We bought a 170 yr old home which we both adored and he designed beautiful gardens. I was lucky to meet him.

To sum up: intention. Intention is sexy. In design, and in relationships, tbh. The movie poster taped up vs. in a frame is the perfect example. Showing intention, that thought and effort went into the choice, is ultimately what makes design.

Top tip I’m honestly surprised she didn’t rant about would be bathroom trashcans (preferably with lids). No clue where men put bathroom trash but it’s THE WORST when there is no place to put changed feminine sanitary products.

Not bachelor, but I'm here for this. XD Tbh framing posters make such a difference. That room she showed was like my room when I lived with my parents - putting up those free posters from conventions. When I finally got my own place, I took them with me & framed the ones I didn't want ruined & hung them up. Most of the other ones, I threw away. Frames really made such a difference. A few posters I kept & have taped to a corner wall so I can see them often. Every so often, I get rid of one that I'm tired of looking at. What is it with men and dark colors?? Yea it can be your favorite color, but a home (whether house or apt) needs light colors so it looks big and inviting and clean. Its such a process - I'm trying to get my brother to move away from dark hues.

[@janmoore6340]

I am older woman that adores moody jewel tones (mostly greens) and wood.......but I accent with gold and very specific red with those minimal black pieces here and there. I can tolerate pastels and greys in friends I interiors for a minute but would slit my throat if if in own space. Please let ur brother's soul speak into his space. Yeah a plant here or there (nice faux is acceptable).....maybe a side table with light marble(natural element)top instead of dark wood. I distress every painted wood surface (nothing slick). Trust me....he's not you.

[@twilightmoon311]

@@janmoore6340 Jewel tones are better than the blacks and browns men gravitate towards. Never said it needs to be pastels or gray. I never said he was me. But we live in similar tiny apts and he insists on matching black to black - "tv is black so the console table, coffee table, speakers need to be black". The ugly brown bath & sink mat so 'you can't tell if it's dirty.' It's a lot of darkness for a small apt. Pick a richer blue or green. Certain textures just doesn't work in brown. At least his bed is a nice rich darker wood color. No plants bc of the cats. It's one thing letting your soul speak in the apt and another when you're just lazy. Took me a year to convince him to get a display case to show his figures/collectables.

Hello.....my accessory journey began about 50 yrs. ago....so is vague memory....but my first advice is only gather items that make ur heart smile/giggle/scream "Yes" in ur gut. If they evoke a good memory of comfort/sweet happy times/adventure that you'd like to recapture. If you started out with solid color pillow...keep eye out for patterned (floral/stripe/paisley) version in same color to add or replace. Take time to look over shelves in antique or thrift shops....get a feel for your preferences. Hopefully.... I don't create an addict....lol

[@janmoore6340]

Clutter is a hazard. You sound to be more intentional than I was in younger days. Have definitely hosted garage sales of discarded items as I trade "up" in my search. Maybe collect only items that relate to your preferred furniture choice. Natural woods and fabrics maybe refer to similar themes in art, useful trays/bins to gather coffee table clutter. Use things for other than original intent. Have floral planter in outer metal holder for keeping plenty of TP available in my bathroom.(One of my top fears in visiting others)No one EVER is without. I have collected wooden cigar boxes with pretty artwork on covers along with clean original options because of an obsession with "To Kill a Mockingbird". Book and movie. Author "Harper Lee" wrote screenplay. One too many was attached to wall among framed outdoor art. This small hideaway cubby makes me giggle to see. Artwork on top has woodgrain that flows and catches people off guard when they realize what it is. Fun. Large wicker birdhouse keeps old bottle collection together with couple favorites set by door of cage. Old keys(another fascination) sit inside natural pottery leave plate on livingroom table. Other birdhouse collects glass "Christmas" ornaments year round. All my teas are kept in favorite tins collected over the years. Bird or fruit motifs only. Don't know if this helps you at all.....but thanks for letting me share outcome from decades of fun.

literally in mid of "i need to make my bedroom pretty, cozy and inviting" breakdown and here you come.

[@requlus]

oh it’s for male bachelors

[@alib6615]

Caroline - I'm dying. Brown being a go to "color" for "men". Hilarious...because it is TRUE! My boyfriend in my late 20s did not only have a dark chocolate brown bathmat, but microfiber towels to match. I hated them so much. Also, no matter how many times he washed the towels, they left little brown pieces of microfiber on you whenever you used them. Uhhhgh.

[@pamela3213]

In all fairness, I've seen my share of bachelorette homes (in lieu of pad) that Seriously Need this advice. Entertaing and Informative per usual Caroline ✨

[@chantz_a_loo]

Even newly married couples who haven’t figured out their combined style yet and just bought bog standard items from furniture stores.

[@Caroline_Winkler]

Completely agree 🙌

[@Beyond_Partisan]

Caroline telling us it's gonna be okay is trying to convince herself 😅 I love this so much. As a married woman, this was helpful. Thank you ❤

[@Aye-Sea]

7:11 How you have fun with the freedom to just say how you feel and what you really mean all while saying it so freaking funny- that's what I dig most about your videos. You're the realist Caroline!

[@elizabethcmclaughlin]

"Things That Are Not Decor" had me laughing so hard I scared the dog.

[@elliafabia]

When I met my now husband he had literally just moved in to his apartment (like he had been there for a month or so). He had decor in his bathroom, a pop of teal in his living room, a big iron and driftwood bookshelf in his bedroom and neutral rugs in every room - clean, tasteful and comfortable. I moved in with him a year later ^^

[@patralink]

"One color for the love of god one color!" I love this Caroline.

[@adamcooper5654]

*You talking about hiding the lotion.* Me (yelling at the screen): Put the lotion in the basket! Also as a someone who is a former actor that lives in Ohio, just feel like I relate a lot to most of your videos. You're a national treasure Caroline and I want good vibes for you only ☺

[@SandyL0uise]

Also - The rug really ties the room together!

[@gloriaalex11]

It does it whenever it's told! 🧴🧺🐩

[@Caroline_Winkler]

Omg thank u for referencing my favorite movie how did I miss this opportunity !

[@Gabrielle499]

😂🤣👍🪣 💦

[@ajh2295]

The second she said it I did the voice and yelled at my computer screen, "it puts the lotion in the NIGHTSTAND and it washes its hands!!!"

[@johnsagewilson]

I am a married gay man and I thought I had pops of color around the house but I looked around and realized I was wrong. Thank you for that great tip. Can’t wait to surprise my wife with some new green pieces!

[@cookiemonster2630]

I’m sorry, my brain is short circuiting. Are you bisexual?

[@LloydBrinker]

Your energy is the reason I continued clicking on your videos after watching the messy home declutter video. Plus there are way worse things than having a beautiful woman yell at me about my design choices. Get your yell on girl!

[@mariakocek5500]

Girlll i was lately in a bachelor apartment and i must say that one kiss was too much for that hell of a mess…

[@Erlrantandrage]

Oof the rug comment hurt. I had to get rid of mine because I have a 400 sq foot apartment, and NO space for a decent vacuum (literally it was just sitting in my bedroom out all the time) and I live at the beach so my rugs were just FULL of sand all the time even when I vacuumed. I miss my rugs because they did really tie the house together but when it's a choice between minimal visual clutter and cleanliness vs a better design aesthetic I had to choose. RIP my funky green rugs, but yay for my sanity.

[@KathleenIllustrated]

It’s giving “you deliberately disobeyed me” and I 👏🏼 am 👏🏼 here 👏🏼 for 👏🏼 it

[@Caroline_Winkler]

Oh this made me laugh Loving this vibe

[@aliciafawcett611]

I'm dead. First, loving Caroline's face at 1:51. Also.... yes you really can still be a man if everything isn't brown. The prior owner of our home was a bachelor and we are slowly undoing all the brown walls, cabinets, trim, doors, floors.... And it's amazing what just paint can do!

[@maddiet1717]

Oh my god we forgot the most important piece of advice: PLEASE NO MATCHING BEDROOM OR LIVING ROOM FURNITURE SETS. Have a single thought of originality. It doesn’t have to be identical to coordinate 😭😭

[@ellen9018]

There is no greater sin on earth than this.

[@Madi-ls5uu]

As a mommy to a 9 month old, my coffee table is styled right now with board books all across because he stands up and pushes everything I put on the table off.

[@nalrah01]

Perfect timing, I can now start my favorite Saturday ritual of breakfast + this channel's videos!

[@Diana-qp2rw]

As a woman, yes, Caroline, thank you! And you, boys, listen to her. When you invite me to your home, I don’t want to feel like it’s a party space or just a place where you sleep. I want to feel comfortable there, I want to feel like it’s nice to spend some time with you there. So, listen to her, Boys, thank you!

[@kwilsonnc]

You are a delightful storyteller, Ms. Winkler. 👏

[@stienbuts3390]

My ex used to ask me for interior design tips for his new apartment (we didn't live together). In the end he never listened and bought only gray/black furniture. We broke up half a year ago but I'm very tempted to still send him this link hehe

[@HosCreates]

Do it 😈

[@nakitanash]

Your hands are amazing. Long fingers and strong hands. That’s a crafter and a builder! 🤩

[@HappyHarryX5]

Awesome! I’m about to decorate my house after the ex-hoarder with no taste moved out. He wouldn’t let me have art up without whingeing about it so I didn’t have it. Now it’s going up and I’m ecstatic looking at it.

[@brandycarbonell8629]

This is quite possibly the funniest video I’ve ever seen of hers 😂 and that’s a bold statement. So many laughs. So many truths! Gentlemen, hopefully you took notes 🤞Great video Caroline, as always! High fives sister 🙌

[@jennimarquez9540]

Tip: if you end up with a person who does not care or have any of these suggested items.. you will get to decorate your home with no feedback, arguing, or compromise.

[@sherri.]

Awwe, that puppy 🐶 Great advice for the bachelorettes too!

[@ChannelCreator]

This color looks so great on her. Love that dress! Sorry, I know that’s not the point of the video! We love Caroline’s beautiful mind too.

[@staceyberry937]

The energy in this video is the best thing I've ever experienced. Caroline, you are an absolute gem.

[@staceyberry937]

Also, this is how I end up talking to people at literally every work meeting. LOLOLOLOL.

[@samiansley5740]

1. Kazoo for president 2. Immediately shared video w bachelors I know 3. Thank you.

[@SarahMele]

I’m begging you, PLEASE grant us a Pinterest board of all the inspo shots in this video they are ALL FIRE

[@danihartland9678]

Listen to me. Adding a puppy to the ad section of the video. FLIPPIN GENIUS. All bow before Caroline.

[@DelFeeny]

I had a friend who collected empty bottles, and it was pretty much matching her entire home: dirty and messy. I realized her personality was also trash. So I guess what I'm saying is: sometimes that "decor" is a big red flag! 😬

[@iheartcleveland216]

I cannot do this new editing style. It distracts from the integrity of the content. YOU ARE ENOUGH, CAROLINE!!!

[@m007mm]

As my favorite color I pick yellow beach sand and blue sky!

[@bluntlyspeaking8289]

That's great, Max! Go for it!

[@jadetucker8461]

Although not a bachelor, I sent this to my boyfriend who recently moved into his first solo place and after visiting and seeing the color bath mat he picked I made him watch it with me since he could not be trusted to do so alone 😂 The yelling was appropriate and he said it helped him remember more!

[@jessmtnz]

Caroline, I love this because I just joined other women slamming a man someone went home with (and promptly left) when she posted a pic of his bouch... it was a king mattress folded to look like a couch on top of ONE of the king boxsprings 🤦🏻‍♀️ I would add to the men: you need a cheap bed frame at the LEAST. A mattress straight on the floor just gives serial killer vibes and absolutely no one wants to have fun on that. Also, your mattress is going to get moldy if it's laying straight on carpet 🤢

[@merrimcarthur7198]

(collapses into hysterical laughter) NO ONE want's to have fun on that!!!

[@Toni_Snark]

NNnooooooo!! 😂 omg!

[@dotsamantha]

Not a bouch 😂

[@jacqueline2297]

I am just surprised and so proud by the amount of men in the comments who are actually watching this video for advice. Go you! Caroline, please tell me what lipstick you are wearing. It is fantastic. Great video as always!

[@tnan123]

Brown is a good color!! Chocolate, coffee, leather. all the woods are all great brown things. I enjoyed the rest of the screaming though.

[@raychelbowles8248]

I am married to my Browns as well, but on some level, I know that I need to start drawing divorce papers

[@IvanBustos]

Brown is great, but a space needs more pop of color beyond brown. I started my space super minimalistic to sort of start with a blank canvas, but now I def need some brighter fun colors mixed in

[@sleepingwhale]

Just not for a bath mat...

[@HerWanderlust]

I love browns and tans but like reddish toned , such a good base for so many other colors

[@vaderladyl]

Brown is good for your neutral base but needs to be surrounded by color to be balanced.
