Architect’s TOP 10 Design Mistakes Making Your Home Look Cheap

[@hypernewlapse]

while I understand the point of not being pretentious your house should first and foremost serve you rather than trying to fit into some unspoken rule. If a coastal themed decor brings you joy living in a drab gray city, go for it. we have little things to bring joy lets not kill it for trying to get external approval

[@Toni_Snark]

He’s not trying to “kill” anything. Did you not read his disclaimer? 😂

[@enmanniska5751]

Yeah I agree you just have to accept that it will cheapen the look of your home. I also think that sometimes going too all in on themed decor can actually make you unhappy in the long run, eventually you yourself might even find it looks tacky and cheap. Theres lots of ways to create particular moods in a home. Why does coastal themed decor bring you joy? Is it the relaxing and bright colours? The assosiations to a lovely vaccation? By trying to bring in the things you like in way that works well with the context, might even make you happier than trying to copy something else.

“Honestly always looks best on us and our homes” well said! I could t agree more. Great video!

[@ninaotan7811]

Judging from the overwhelming number of video titles like “seven ways to make your hose look expensive” it is only a selected few opt for honesty and genuineness.

Please make redesign spaces again. Those are so good. You can even do exterior like curb appeal

[@hintex487]

They bring such a fresh perspective to transforming spaces

The bong in the first example explains all about that apartment :D

[@MrGoalie2012]

perhaps it was a key factor when they measured the space for couch XD

[@sharonhart3111]

your advice is always good daniel, I appreciate the way you explain why a space can look 'cheap' or cluttered, or good etc this helps with what you do or dont want to achieve.

[@12Sanguine]

Focus on what you can hide rather than what you can display. 🙌 As someone growing up in a hoarder house I strongly support this message.

[@TheKnittedRaven]

This was educational and a little humbling as I recalled times when I've made these mistakes. Thanks for the tips!

[@jonathanfgh1]

You mentioned the TOM FORD BOOK that is in every episode of HOMEWORTHY. People are trying to show how what 'good taste' they have but have obviously never read it .....😂

[@paveladamek3502]

I used to be a neutral-tone minimalist in a 60sqm studio and I loved it. But then my gf broke up with me and it made the space, and by extention, my life, even emptier. I started painting (not walls) and I painted two of my walls the art-deco blue and hanged like 15 of my paintings and the depression from the breakup was almost gone.

[@spacyspice]

Great video, Daniel! I really appreciate watching it. I am sure that it will allow people to make more intentional purchases for their future homes. We get bombarded with so many ads these days about gimmicky items that are supposed to add value to our home. Getting a broader understanding about design can help people achieve/maintain a better home for themselves and their loved ones. Especially those who may not afford an (interior) architect. Also; thx for mentioning the miss-matched lighting temperature. It gives me eye cancer. Greetings, Sam

We spent several winters in rental places in Florida, and for the most part they were "staged" with similar furniture that seemed to be all bought at once from the same sources. Then we discovered what became our favorite. It had been our landlady's grandmother's house, fill with an eclectic collection of furnishings that had accumulated over generations. Some were genuine antiques and some were newer, quality items, and the place had a comfortable, homey feel. Various pieces didn't necessarily match, but they were all functional. The other places felt like vacation rentals, but this one was a home.

[@gimmeproof]

Love your advice!!!! I've already benefitted (from the one you did regarding showers - soooooo helpful!!!!). thank you for so many great directives and ideas.

[@hintex487]

Really good advice

[@sourdoughed]

One build on bulbs: smart LED bulbs tend to be low CRI - certainly less than 90 - and so often make you and your interior look a bit odd or ill. Much better is to buy high CRI LED bulbs - ideally dim to warm - and using smart dimmers on plugs (Lutron is an expensive option but think Philips has a dimmable plug too)

[@JessicaCaldwell]

Great point on context / location

[@vvalekk]

that couch @<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="335">5:35</a>! 😍 Now i finally know what i want for my birthday

[@katrinarefior700]

All great tips. Thanks for sharing!

[@gabrielfreitas8659]

Amazing tips and advices

[@renesalinas9491]

Great compilation and also with a good explination. For me an other importend Pont is haptic. So I prefer natuaral materials and it has to feel good to tak it in the hand, if it is for it, ore to touch, if to big. Flimsy made things look, feel cheap. A home easy looks solid with changig the things wich are in direkt use with worthy ones. Handles, grips, switches.... But I will keep on watching your videos to get mor inspiration and advance my knowllage. Greats from Cologne.

I'd be curious if it'd be worth it to renters to invest a little in their rental properties. My kitchen cabinets and counters are pretty worn out but what would be reasonable to spend as a renter? I love my loft apartment and most likely will be there for some time (already there over 5 years)

I think the bong really ties the room together

This reminds me of a video about 3 years ago (making family minimalist) where you moved an Ikea Besta storage wall. Points 5 (Storage) and 9 (Functionality) are part of the online layout I made a few days ago while creating a Besta wall myself. The design is ready although I still have a few questions? How did you connect the Besta elements ? If I remember correctly you had 20 cabinets all together. All advice is very welcome Cheers

[@philipfrancis2728]

Daniel’s personal aesthetic is why Maximalism exists in the design world. -Just throw all that s#@% together and call it a “design” choice. LOL.

[@forgiveness_denied]

thanks for a good content

The real question is: what filter does Daniel use?! (Would genuinely love to know about your youtube set-up and process, Daniel!)

[@DavidCruickshank]

I'll never understand why people care so much about their homes looking "cheap" or "expensive". Why does it matter how much you're home looks worth? Just design a home you like.

The Audio settings of your voiceovers have been really hard on my ears recently. It sounds kind of like it was recorded unterwater, or through a phone speaker, and I cannot comfortably listen to it. Maybe you dont notice it, but in your older videos, you sounded more like this: kzbin.info/www/bejne/epmZko2gqKuWmpo which was, in my opinion, way more pleasant to listen to.

[@Redrally]

I don't have that problem, do you use headphones?

[@donschnulione6646]

@@Redrally yes.

[@Redrally]

@@donschnulione6646 Try the speakers, see if that improves the sound quality. If it does for some reason, you might need to adjust the headphone settings.

With regards to the open shelving vs closed shelving - I know you're a minimalist and don't like the look of clutter, but some people are visual organizers and need items visible. ("Out of sight, out of mind" and all that.) For people in those situations, clear or wire bins / baskets, peg boards, hooks, and even open shelving can be good solutions. You can still have your items out and visible, without it looking like clutter. But you need to know your own style first.
