Growing up, we never had a TV in the bedrooms. We had 1 TV in the family room only. As a parent, I have done the same. Although, at 16, my son was allowed a monitor for his console and my daughters were allowed a small tv/dvd player during reception and lower primary years for learning hour and pre- bedtime at weekends. They are now all young adults and only 1 of them has a TV in their bedroom (because their partner likes it). I like my bedroom to be a place of rest (and ❤), only. 😊

[@murieltilton378]

Valentina, I have never had blinds. They are so non-decorative. Curtains and drapes just dresses up a room. We just started to use the smart lighting. Having an app to turn lights on before entering a room is so convenient. Thank you for your amazing ideas.

[@shannon7791]

oh my gosh, I’m in TOTAL agreement with you on the blinds. It just takes away from the view and natural sunlight. Clients always want to do shutters and it just limits the functionality of the window. Beautifully hung draped just close and open ALL the way as needed.

[@MsMaxinejoy]

I think the bedroom is on the second floor it's fine. However, to have blinds open for light in daytime...no privacy is bothersome.

[@rosemarywvmom]

I completely agree with the no blinds! Not a fan either. I specialized in lighting design for a number of years so light is sooo important to me. Thank you for another amazing video. Such a fan! Enjoy following along

[@slaygirl-iz2lm]

Also agree...way too much on the walls. Love most of your ideas

[@HouseofValentina]

Thank you so much. I never promote a one size fits all approach to design. We all have different styles and preferences and it sounds like you’re more minimal in your aesthetic.

[@dianeosgood6594]

The huge b/w picture is overwhelming to me as is the black throw. Prefer subtle colors.

[@anothergoldenday]

There’s no way I could ever have a tray and decorative bowl on the bench at the foot of my bed 😂

[@HouseofValentina]

That’s great and the beauty of design. I prefer neutral with pops of excitement and you prefer something different. I love that we can each love something different for our own home.

[@LouciferFlump]

@@HouseofValentinaI think all your things in your bedroom rock, though I liked the darker colour you had before, it was cosier. I’m really more of a maximalist than a minimalist, but I do like carefully curated items, beautiful ornaments and LOTS of plants in my rooms. Like you!! It’s nice to relax in and admire the special things you have, rather than just glare at empty walls - nothing is more soulless. I actually think your bedroom aesthetic is top notch.👌🏻

[@leannsfearcocktail9420]

In another video about items that are aging your home you mentioned removing the blinds. I JUST WANT TO SAY THANK YOU!!! Within a week I removed all our blinds and installed gorgeous curtains. It transformed my home immediately. It’s my most favorite and most impactful change I can remember making. I live in Santa Monica, CA and we have the most gorgeous view of palm trees and the distant high rise buildings that are stunning lit up at night. We forgot about the stunning view hiding behind our blinds. Now I feel like I live in a posh hotel suite. Once again, I can’t thank you enough.

[@LULC0759]

We do have a TV n the bedroom, we go to bed early. Hubs likes to have it on while he is falling asleep. I don’t watch it because I’m on KZbin watching content love this. So it’s really only on briefly, does not interfere with our sleep pattern.

[@user-om3rw5qr5p]

Hello I’m from Japan 🇯🇵, I love your videos 👍

[@elinkay4661]

Can you do a vanity ideas video? It’s hard to strike a balance between aesthetic and function since we need to work with hundreds of random shaped beauty products and hair tools.

[@karinnewman345]

I love the framed tv. I have this on my wish list. Also, love ambient light and want more. I’m lucky and no longer need to keep my office in my bedroom but I’ve had to in the past. One benefit of this is I keep my office desk very clean, tidy and decorated.

[@jazlescuer7148]

Loved this video! You mention how important it is to have a plan for a room before buying! I actually just left homegoods empty handed because I felt like I needed a plan before I buy! I am not sure how to create a plan and really where to even start, would love a video on tips for cohesively bringing a room together! Thanks for always sharing the best tip and inspo!

I have loved every iteration of your master bedroom. Always exciting to see what you'll do next.

[@leticiavillarreal3689]

Thanks for the video and addressing the clothes clutter that happens. I recently designated a drawer for the clothes that I used to throw on the floor or bed.

[@HouseofValentina]

It's so easy for it to happen! A drawer is a great solution! xxV

[@crystalferris8425]

Great idea!

[@pecantangoddess]

Great Idea!!! 4 kids and two adults! Wew! Lots of clothes!

[@amynoble3630]

I love the tiny lamps to the side of your TV! I think you talked about them recently but I cannot remember where they are from and i didn't see them linked.

[@user-cn1zx4kn5t]

Thankyou for your video, I too am guilty of the bedding purchases without a room plan. We have uv blinds for use during the day as the sun is too bright and fades all the furnishings. Love the black tank you are wearing.

[@gigif8566]

I really loved the dark version of your bedroom & the modern gold fixture on the ceiling. I absolute agree about the mattress, it's the very foundation of a good night's sleep along with quality sheets. My bedroom & bathroom are Zen Zones, monochromatic, luxe, tactile, sensual & serene. Love the frame tv. Motorized blinds are great & barley visible when up.

[@Fraangipani]

I dont love blinds either. However, we rent, so I just keep my blinds always pulled to the side (they're the curtain blinds) and I've hung some pretty curtains that black out light when I need them to and I drape open during the day. Definitely think it makes my rooms feel just a little more upgraded.

[@anitas5817]

I agree with every one of these! Blinds look dated to me now. We don’t even have a television in the bedroom. Great video, thanks.

[@HouseofValentina]

You’re so welcome!

[@Ck12340]

We recently started using Kasa plugs and cameras. We love them and can also use Alexa to turn and off lights. It’s awesome!

[@happyx2]

Great video! I still have a TV armoire in the bedroom, and hadn't thought of getting rid of it until I watched this. I think it’s a great idea, and I love your framed TV over a dresser idea. It will take up much less room!

[@debbiel2098]

Can you do a video on ways to style a bed against a window, or in my case 2 windows? I love all the windows in my new home, but there is not enough wall space to place a King Bed. Love you guys!

[@robinsmith4499]

We live close to the sun in Colorado. We have sun protection shades to control the heat and sometimes we can’t see the sun is so bright. Also, our neighbors home is close to my office window, I like the privacy shade. Maybe there are exceptions to uncontrollable situations. I am not happy my shades what are your thoughts?

[@pompommania]

I have blinds for privacy and light though. Curtains do provide privacy but they also block the light. Id love not to use blinds, but I have too many nosy neighbors.

[@deborahLeighton-em2zt]

Love You Valentina! You make sense of it all, wonderful ideas, designs are beautiful and you’re an inspiration! I’m subscribed and look so forward to the next segments!! You’re so happy, positive and it’s wonderful!! Your family is sweet and your home beautiful!! Thanks for all you do!

[@MrsHerzog]

I ❤ this! Our bedroom is set up the same way! I have no blinds anywhere in home I have shades and curtains 😊

[@HouseofValentina]

It makes such a big difference! xxV

[@robinbirdj743]

Love that you’ve learned a lot and are willing to share. ❤

Love my shutters!

[@HouseofValentina]

I completely understand! I think you have to do what you really love!

[@mikailaolabode6216]

I love shutters too - not blinds but shutters!

[@celindarushing3420]

I was surprised by the no mini blinds but it really makes sense and a big difference. How do you suggest styling a back door that has a window built in ? It is in an area with a guest bathroom that leads out to the back yard and a deck.

[@bairdy23]

I love that black and gold light on your dresser! Great tips!

[@aishacruz8647]

I so enjoy watching your videos! I agree with you on not having any blinds and the tv armoire. I actually have a preference of no tv in the bedroom. My kids still have them in theirs though. They’re 18 and 19 I also have a small secretary desk in my room for journaling, writing letters, etc.

[@christinecampbell9575]

We live in Kelowna, British Columbia with a beautiful lake view from our bedroom. We do get a lot of afternoon sun & haven’t changed the blackout curtains left by the previous owners. Behind them are hangings panels that block light and cannot be fully opened. After seeing your video, I feel they have to go! Thank you for the inspiration! 💖

[@HouseofValentina]

You'll have to let me know what you think! xxV

[@melanieshort6190]

Always a informative video.... your bedroom is beautiful!! I haven't seen the new updates!! Inspirational to say the least!!!

I am waiting for the blue floral bedding from Pottery Barn to arrive;). Tried a more solid color, but it didn’t look right to me. (I’m a floral girl!) 😊

I love these solutions! I also prefer things to be in their place, out of sight! I love my treasures (books, decor etc.) so I love the way your bedroom expresses the things you love and makes you smile. For me its not too much, its very "lived in" yea girl i actually read these books in my room! Yes, and? 😂

TV’s in general. We made a great decision for us was to not have one in the room at all. We do have one in the guest room.

[@joycehunt1307]

I have pleated blinds in the windows in the front of my home for temperature control. We get the rising sun in all those windows and it can quickly heat up my FL home in the summer. Luckily our house also has a covered walkway across the front which helps control light and heat. So as soon as the sun has reached a certain height, the blinds go up to let in the light but not the heat.

[@cq8822]

No to the blinds and no to TV cabinets. I have a Lot Of art on my walls and I love it! I’m not a fan of blank walls for me.

[@constantineangelgutierrez1851]

Fabulous ideas 💡.

[@HouseofValentina]

Thank you

[@TheCutestTom]

The idea of walking into a room and being completely enamored and loving your space is enough to be calming. What people consider calming can be subjective. She loves her space hence it’s calming for HER….not you…two different people……

[@HouseofValentina]

Thank you! We are all so different! That's why I love what I do something much- each person gets whatever THEY LOVE in their home! xxV

Valentina,…love your channel!! Love your personality and design style so much and have binged a lot! I noticed you like to wear black a lot and for someone who is super into color analysis, you would look EXCELLENT in a deep warm brown, burnt deep orange, dark sage green, beiges etc. Black and white are cool colors and you are same as me and have warm skin tone. You are beautiful in black also but my eye 👁️ is just dying to see in you a warm deep brown! Maybe like a soft knit sweater, you would SLAY in that color!!! 🤎 🤎🤎

I mostly grew up without TV. Never had one also since married. I can't even imagine having one in the bedroom. I must be hard to fall asleep when a show is running and you really want to see it. Also would be a romance killer. It's bad enough with Smart phones already.

[@firestick4991]

I was just saying that I wanted to ditch my blinds, last week! I was joking that I would rather have a freaking shower curtain up than those broken, nasty blinds! I just need to get something to replace them with, and they’re GONE! 🥳

[@Clean-N-ShineInDfw]

I agree it's hard for me to relax in my space when I have my business stuff in my face everyday. That's what I spend alot of time on instead of relaxing. Hopefully I can get a bigger house soon

[@dalilamckay8152]

Good video - I laughed when I saw the bike machine because in my 20’s I had one in my bedroom and it did become my clothes hanger lol. Yikes - I eventually got rid of it. I love your style and my favorite room is definitely your living room - ok and closet. I do have to agree with the others on the abstract print. If you took those prints off, your room would be perfect. I know you do move things around constantly so I’m sure they’ll change but I feel if you are putting something over the bed it needs to be a complete neutral light canvas like I’ve seen you’ve done before.

[@HouseofValentina]

so funn about the bike! As far as the art, I love having a bit of boldness in my room! That's where the fun really comes in- creating something you really love and brings you joy! xxV

I have a pretty little desk in my bedroom, but it is for writing birthday cards and only personal things. I have a work desk in a separate room.

[@angelapruisman536]

Great tips, Valentina, thank you! Agree wholeheartedly about the desk in the bedroom. I'm recently married and moved into my husband's home; the decor is lovely, but the furnishings are heavy and masculine. We will be doing a full renovation starting this fall (will actually be implementing many of the same renovations that I had just completed in my home...so excited for that!); we currently have a desk/computer in our bedroom and we are thinking of adding additional cabinetry and a desk in the kitchen for that purpose. Any thoughts on this would be welcome, thank you!

True, good sleep is vital to long term health. Birch is amazing! I LOVE our birch mattress. We got ours about a month ago. The best mattress ever! Stiffness is practically a thing of the past. So much better! Warning - sleeping in is so nice, it's addicting. ;)

Totally agree re: window dressings! I am struggling with some recently installed Roman blinds in our bedroom if you happen to see this and have any advice. I went with a neutral linen-look fabric and while they look nice when pulled up, they’re pretty blah when they’re down. I’m thinking of adding a trim..? My other idea is to flank them with curtains but it’s a small room (10’ x 13’) and I think that might be an overpowering amount of Window Treatment!

Old TV cabinets make great storage.

[@kimavdek5150]

I live in a 100 year old house that is 700 square feet. It has lots of windows and every one is covered by blinds that I had custom measured and installed. (original blinds were a random assortment from Home Depot that didn't match, too big, too small, hideous.) Curtains/drapes would take up too much room and in some cases there is no room for a return. While the blinds get dusty, they are easily cleaned whereas you have to dry clean most drapes. No more dry cleaning/ironing for me. Also I have a cat that would shred drapes -- he climbs and goes through screens and anything else to get whatever is outside that he thinks he needs to challenge. I love lamps and any kind of lighting. Trouble is that there aren't too many outlets in an old house so it's not so easy to install Kasa, etc. I've had electricians out several times to better this but there are only so many things I can plug in before I set the house on fire. And have you noticed that lamp/lighting stores are few and far between anymore?

[@mariastathopoulos744]

I agree with not having a desk in the bedroom unless a studio apartment. That also goes for kids' bedrooms. I'm a no TV or electronic devices in the bedroom.

We all EVOLVE! Yes, certainly everyone is entitled to indulge their own preferences in their own abode for however long they last! However, it's not out of line to question her rationale for this piece given her position as an ADVISOR for developing "Elevated/Hi-End/Upscale" looks for your home. For a room promoting REST, it seems Heavy/ Jarring whereas many other even Abstract Graphic pieces might be less so ...& more consistent with her promoted Upscale goals...& REST! Blessings All...as we EVOLVE!

[@HouseofValentina]

I'm not really sure I've ever seen a hangman's scaffold in the art, but we believe in expressing your personal style through your choices in your home, whether it's through the art, the decor, etc. We absolutely LOVE the bold art!

I used to have a tv cabinet from Ethan Allen that had doors that would slide back in so they were never out. It was flanked by book cases so was perfect in my then studio apartment. Since being married, we have not had a tv in the bedroom, nor in the kids room, just one in the living room. Blinds...I will never have again. They are just dust collectors. I much prefer the room darkening curtains. Guilty of trying to keep up with folding laundry, lol. 0:19 Fixing that with a dedicated laundry room. At least it will be out of view if I cannot get it put away right away.

[@HouseofValentina]

ooohhh those Ethan Allen ones were sooo nice! For years we didn't have a tv in our bedroom, but it's my guilty pleasure to watch something before going to bed now! :-)

I so agree about the blinds, they keep out too much light and stay dusty. The laundry room is a game changer and honestly we fold as we remove to minimize wrinkles and the need to iron/steam.

[@Sunshine-fy4fz]

I have, and love, my tv cabinet - I feel I have the same one you had, doors slide back in so they aren't ever "in the way" or need clearance. And with shelves for other tech (4K/BluRay player) and 2 deep drawers on the base, it's a do-all-be-all cabinet that hides the tv when not in use - I hate looking at a big black screen, so ugly and distracts from the overall aesthetic of the room.

[@JoR00ke]

Hi V, where are the cables for your tv, where do you plug it in? Do you think it's imperative that you have a chest of drawers etc under a wall hung tv? I'm not sure I have the space for it, my bedroom's half the size of yours and we have wardrobes in there too as we have nowhere else for them. Would really appreciate your expertise 🙂 x

[@HouseofValentina]

Our frame tv has one cord that runs from the tv to a large connection box. We have this cord running in the wall to the floor area. We can plug anything extra into this box behind the dresser so the cords are never seen.

be earnest where did you see Scandinavians hanging their clothes on the wall as decor ????? or even on a open rack? , do you mean you saw it in a magazine? because Danish design magazines show homes that way, they like it to look very lived in and casual, it's not really reality though , sure a few people may do that, but as a 50 year old Dane I only remember seeing it once (the open rack) and that was when I was very young and in an apartment where a very young person live, so either it just happen to be something 1 person you know do or you saw that in a magazine, but it is certainly not something common (I live in Copenhagen) the only common place to have clothes hanging like that is in the entrance , lot of apartments in Scandinavia don't have a closet for coats in the entrance

That's so interesting! I had so many friends with the hanging racks and who used clothing as display! Maybe I just hung out with a very artsy crowd!

For me, having a TV in the bedroom is a mistake. Besides the fact that a TV on the wall is just unsightly, the bedroom is supposed to be an oasis for rest or for love! For the exceptional need for digital entertainment in bed, there are portable devices (think phone, tablet), but for the majority of the times there are much more interesting and healthier things to do in the bedroom than to watch TV… just my opinion, and I love having wall space for art, mirrors, and just blank spaces… so serene!

I’m rearranging my home and have reluctantly decided to put a computer desk in my bedroom as the internet is hard wired into that room due to being in a rural area. I’ve made the desk modern, slimline and added little shelves underneath the benchtop for the modem, graphic tablet and powerboard and tidy the cords. I made a riser for the printer so it’s going on the floor in the corner and not seen. I’m going to decorate part of it as it’s 8ft long. Having the desk in the room is going to make me feel like a teenager which is what I need to feel right now that I’m single. I have a range extender for the net but if I was to put the desk in the dining room, it’ll be too obvious and I had my old desks in there for a decade. I’ve put 2 mattress toppers on my waterbed with the top one being cool gel. Apart from being functional and luxurious, it fluffs up the top of the bed instead of having lots of covers to make it look cozy. I took out the wardrobe drawers and put the newly painted (black) dresser in there. I put slimline modern black handles on it and it looks great. I’ll be putting up art soon above the desk and custom curtains. The desk is going on the far wall and behind the bed so it’s not going to be the main feature and I don’t work on the computer I use it for Photoshop and Illustrator so it’s a fun spot.
