So happy for you. With your health issues new shows are perfect! Blessings. ❤

[@KivaBrent]

Thank you so so much!! 💕

[@femineity]

Congrats, Kiva, on your hosting of the show "Interior Motives"! I use to watch that show a while back! It was hosted by THE FABULOUSLY TALENTED, @ChristopherLowell! He truly is one of THE PIONEERS of the whole Interior Design/Decor and Do It Yourself era on television! Christopher Lowell is arguably the Godfather of Interior design TV! So once again, Kiva, Congratulations! I know you'll be GREAT and I most certainly will be watching!

[@greggdoty3076]

Love Wabi Sabi--the king of luxury Wabi Sabi is Alex Vervoordt (also the king of Belgian Minimalism). LOVE his work. Great video as usual, Kiva!

[@racheldalziel992]

THANK YOU for explaining the difference between contemporary and modern styles! It's such an important distinction in art and art history as well, which most people (sometimes myself included) conflate, so really appreciate you making this known to the masses!

[@dominicjones7790]

This is so awesome to hear. I am actually a designer, and I just started my decor, and I am now in partnership with Wayfare.

[@653j521]

Wayfair?

[@LB-ec4uf]

Really? 😅

[@chicahchicah]

Interior Motive chose the best person for the hosting job. Congratulations Kiva!!🎉

I live in the UK and bought a house 18 months ago. As I'm single, progress on decorating has to limited to payday projects, but I have got a lot done. Got a nice colour palette (greens, blues and pinks). I LOVE colour, so the only white that will be left are the skirting boards/trim; I have even painted the doors a nice dark cherry colour. Design style wise I am mixing dark academia and mid-century modern with some maximalism (in the living room). I love to upcycle and am very much the school of thought of "use what you already have" rather than buying new. I got some dining chairs from my parents. Perfectly nice chairs, just safe (light wood with beige upholstery). I have painted them farrow & ball railings and recovered the seats with a lovely fabric. They now fit perfectly in with the design style of the whole space. Every item I own and have curated over a number of years reflects me and my personality; my love of pop art, Dali, movies, music and geek culture. I think I have got the blend right so no one thing overpowers everything else.

[@AMATEURDECORATINGLIKEAPRO]

Hi! Congratulations on your spot!!!👏👏👏

[@kelbrl18]

Lol I like all these styles! That oddly gives me a great direction for how I want to update each space in my house

[@Haumea879]

love that color on you😍

[@KivaBrent]

Thank you!!

[@BerryFamilyMedia]

The color of this blazer looks AMAZING on you! Okay now let’s watch the video…. 😃

[@starrhewitt8456]

Wabi Sabi is so beautiful. I like the darkness and nature it brings inside its like a mix of modern and organic I love

[@marleybedford8628]

How great you are Kiva. You give spot on advice. I have to watch more than once. Big thanks from this Aussie.

[@luxnthecity9167]

I appreciate your content so much!! I found you on TikTok but your YT channel is next level. ❤

[@KivaBrent]

Aw thank you so much!! I really appreciate it :)

[@AC-by4nf]

I love transitional, and modern organic

[@KivaBrent]

Yes!!

[@brianbattle4432]

Thank you for covering the more modern design styles. I really enjoyed this video.

[@ShellzC63]

🎉 Congratulations on the show.! I’m definitely checking it out. 🎉 Per this video I think I lean more towards modern organic.

[@KivaBrent]

Aw thank you so much!! 💕

[@kathyorourke9273]

Dark dreary colors in Scandinavian design? Never was! White on light wood was always!

[@MovieJustin]

lol says you vs an interior designer.

[@JonathonV]

I’m confused by Kiva’s statement as well, since Kathy is correct that Scandinavian style is best known for white and blonde woods. Perhaps what Kiva was referring to are the accent colours, which can occasionally be darker greens or reds, but if the overall mood of a room is dark, it wouldn’t be classified in the industry as Scandinavian.

[@breem8750]

@@MovieJustin actual Scandinavians would agree with the comment

[@karenmakesthings4880]

That blazer is fantastic!

[@KivaBrent]

Thank you!!

[@carolm4646]

No disrespect to kiva, but what does this have to do with her video!?

[@wendywolfe398]

Another great job of explaining these different styles ! I love you new channel with Wayfair!!! So happy that you are being recognized as a great designer.

[@gailremp8389]

Been shopping with Wayfair since 2011 or 12 something like that. I have wool rugs. I have two loveseats. I have so much stuff that is Wayfair from all these wonderful vendors. What I enjoyed about Wayfair is if you need something cheap you can find it. And if you want something it's really really too expensive you can find it. Joy in both directions

[@hotchicsf]

Thank you. That was very informative.

[@KivaBrent]

Thanks for watching!! 💕

[@myjourney9421]

I learned the most about Danish pestel I have never heard of it before I really like modern organic with a touch of transitional

[@mariasmalls8726]

Thank you for this video, I finally found my design style!!!! FINALLY!!!!!

[@alexisgeorgia]

My style is the weirdest combination of Danish pastel, and "dark bohemian" (first heard the term from moda misfit on yt) Plenty of wood elements, black, grey, sage greens with pops of pastel here and there 🥰

[@moussabby]

I've learnt the most about Danish Pastel. I didn't even know it was a thing. Not my style but I love learning new things.

[@revCMF]

My dream has always been to blend MCM and Boho (not a clue how that could work). Thanks for introducing Danish Pastel, because that’s something I think I could actually accomplish.

[@lesliehylaris9847]

Me too... I feel like organic modern fits this most but I guess we could do whatever we want and enjoy

[@Tony2dH]

I'm doing that in my new appartment and it's not as hard as you'd think! I think a good way to do it is to get warm wooden MCM furniture with clear lines, then combine that with smaller organic boho elements like patterned rugs and baskets from natural materials (rattan, linen etc.) with warm tones and some color accents. And of course don't forget lots of plants. Organic modern is indeed kind of in that direction

[@carlettagoodrich-mann1377]

Your tips on design are amazing.

[@KivaBrent]

Thank you!!!

[@brendagregoryyuen4923]

Very informative! Thank you KB!

[@youbetcha108]

Hi Kiva I did not do these styles but I do have pieces that are from these eras. I also have some of the colors from these styles. I like to mix colors and styles without regard to eras. Sometimes the color of a piece can fit in the decor without being the same design. Also you can hack it up by changing upholstery or painting it etc. I also like to change up style with accessories like art plants or rugs. Nice ideas to help me out here. See you next time! 🙂

[@theresagarza1578]

Thank you for the information. I still don’t think my “style” fits neatly into any of those particular categories, but maybe my search for certain pieces will go a lot smoother now that you’ve educated me! And now I’ll binge watch your Wayfair show. 👏

[@marleybedford8628]

I’m the same so don’t worry too much. I figure if you love it, and it makes your heart feel happy, keep it.

[@reneedalziel6721]

MCM (IMO) is the absolute best! Sadly, my husband hates it, so I just dream of having a MCM home.

[@cvonsutphen]

The design styles I learned the most about were; Danish Pastel (not for me) and Wabi Sabi (also not for me) but inspirational for Modern Organic.

[@scratchingthesurface5589]

Haven't watched your channel in a while!!! Great video.

[@KivaBrent]

Welcome back! Thanks for watching!

[@lillypieisme]

Thank you for this video it was so helpful!! I had no clue what the names or what the different styles were.

[@sandieedward993]

What about Nomadic Design in Bohemian Designs because that traveled Look is another interesting design Esthetic...Well Done Video 😘💞💝

[@Angelmama22]

Congratulations Kiva!!!!

[@lormor460]

I loved this! Very informative. I think I like a mix of contemporary, Danish design colors and some mid century furniture . 😅 Eclectic, I think that is me 😊.

[@Tylee30]

Wow great vid. Never heard of Danish Pastel till today. We have to move away from calling certain design style “dark and dreary”. Maybe “dark and moody” is more appropriate. For a person who likes that style, it’s not dreary.

[@loulouyanis937]

Space Age furnitures are back too. I see them everywhere

[@maryclaremayo6157]

Great video, and Kiba, I must say, that jacket is gorgeous on you. Love the colour! P.S. My initials are MCM.

[@MLCruz13]

Thanks for breaking that down. Always heard you say wabi sabi but had no idea what that meant.

[@williamsauve6058]

Loved this . Very to the point as well as being informative. Thank you. Images are Gorgeous . Love from Canada

[@amandamiller1513]

Thank you so much for clarifying and defining these! I learned a lot and it's going to help so much when I try to find inspiration in the future!

[@carmelgrace6402]

excellent so well done and explained .. I even took notes :)

[@augustaalecsa9680]

Thank you for your information about Danish Pastel.

[@LynsAlteredArts]

I have never heard of danish pastel and I have no desire to hear of it ever again, it’s way to Barbie dream house for me. I like the modern organic or contemporary organic and mid century modern and Scandinavian I really am digging Japandi right now.

[@luztraver3295]

I love KB😘

[@KivaBrent]

Aw thank you!! Happy Friday :)

[@daiseegray9110]

Thank you! Love modern organic

[@TheJustineCredible]

Mid-century Modern - very much the "Ludwig Mies van der Rohe" aesthetic: Form follows Function

[@tonihlove5204]

I learned about Wabi-Sabi as I had no idea what it was but I have heard you talk about it. Not a style I would ever gravitate to but a very interesting one. I personally like Beach Modern.

[@ladyroes3682]

I want to hear you breakdown the Grandmilenial design!!

[@shoshanachavab]

Dry interesting thanks ❤

[@biancanatal3204]

I think I like Wabi Sabi (spelling?), but I don't like low seating. Perhaps I cd incorporate some elements of this style and stick to comfy seating components. Does this make sense?

[@mmwrightness]

Very helpful!

[@mariechantalg]

I knew the pastel danish design as pastel post modern because of the curvy shapes from the post modern period

[@LABeautifulDesigns]

I love you. Well done. Thank you!

[@accordingtoamberr]

omg yesss!!! 🎉 basicssss 🎉🎉 😅

[@cadencellchen7915]

Wayfajr sponsor? I love this for you!

[@evelynhowell3801]

I'd never heard of Danish Pastel.

[@mcbirdsley]

While I don’t like the pastel colors of the pastel Scandinavian it does look the most livable if you have kids and pets

[@andrealagow1715]

This was a GREAT episode! I also love how you chose the art on your TV to compliment some of the styles. Can you let me know the artist and name of the piece it is? Love it!!

[@pegstout523]

Modern organic!

[@doh2934]

I recently took a design style test to see my preferred style. The answer was Coastal Farmhouse. What the heck is that! I have searched and can find either Farmhouse or Coastal, but not the 2 combined. You might say just take elements of both that I like. I am not confident enough to do that. No skill at this point . Would you consider doing a video on this style Thanks

[@jessakent2049]

I took a few of them and... no. I even got Coastal once and it's really not my style in the least! Then I took Cristina Cleveland's and it came up with Vintage Salon. Altho I couldn't always pick a room or furniture I loved, when I got my results I LOVED every single photo it showed. I can now stop saying "maximalist" and start saying "vintage salon". Although it's really just a name. 😄 I'll still keep picking out pieces I love and finding ways to marry them into something harmonious.

[@doh2934]

@@jessakent2049 Thank you. The survey I took did not show pictures to help identify the design

[@vaderladyl]

I think some people are actually pulling off a combination of the two. I had seen it done on some residences and even though it is not my style, I think they look good.

[@youbetcha108]

Something’s Gotta Give Keaton Nicholson Nancy meyers set designer. She used that style in that movie. Take a look. It’s a real thing. And very nice too!

[@sherrinunya4079]

You're looking for Coastal Grandmother. Think Diane Keaton in her light & breezy movie sets.

[@aggiedejesus7403]

I am amazed everyone I listen to you! You talk so fast, however you enunciate your words so well that you are easily understandable! A rare ability! Because you speak so fast, you are able to deliver more information, which is great! I also love your warmth and caring for your audience.

[@LynsAlteredArts]

You can go to the settings in the upper right hand corner and change the speed if she’s too fast. You can slow her down but then she sounds drunk. I watch the minimal mom and she talks really fast too, I enjoy the fast talkers. There’s this guy his name I can’t remember now he’s also a minimalist and he talks so slow I have to do two times the speed for him to sound normal.

[@millieruiz4195]

Thanks

[@sandrahill5760]

Were can I find your new show

[@dramaqueen3457]

I'm now on my way to wayfair to watch your show♥. DQ

[@marylut6077]

Hi, Kiva! What is diff between modern desert vs modern organic? Color scheme and lotta bulky wood objects is in both, so what is distinction?

[@zanezeldere548]

What about Japandi? ❤

[@suesteudle7705]

I don't hear about transitional style anymore. Is it still a thing? Has it been incorporated into another style type? Your videos are great!

[@vaderladyl]

Nope still a style on its own and very much alive. Still popular many areas.

[@slbarbieri1725]

Transitional/traditional is my favorite design style

[@MrMzcurlz1]

I want a video on modern and traditional

[@ojyochan]

Omg, there is a name for my design style now! Danish pastel design ✨️

[@emdame]

Contemp - con+temp - with the time

[@mariechantalg]

I think you forgot the Parisian (Chic) Style which is really big right now but at the same time timeless

[@lamishaforever2703]

Im definitely a mid century modern girl.

[@lidarandolph8322]

My husband would never agree to Danish Pastel!

[@marilynn76]

The Danish pastel style looks horrific to me! ha ha. I'm really into the art nouveau and arts and crafts styles right now; unfortunately, I don't have a Craftsman style house. Think William Morris and early Frank Lloyd Wright. I love dark wood and cozy lighting. No care at all as to whether it's in style or not! I bought my house new in 2005 and chose dark wood cabinets (dark cherry) and very light silestone counters, and fortunately, I'm still not tired of them. There is almost no gray anywhere, and I think I actually made it through the whole gray craze without doing any of it! LOL

[@vaderladyl]

Sounds lovely. My aesthetic is similar to yours. No gray here but lots of dark woods. And my home is a tract home from the 80's but with some features of a Craftman house.

[@youbetcha108]

I have an eclectic style but the grey never looked good with the warm woods and especially my red orange wood floors which I always liked. So I decided to embrace the orange red tones and I have found out that navy blue goes with orange and so does green and tans or deeper beiges. It’s a whole new world for me! I enjoyed one of kivas shows where she replaced orange painted walls with navy blue wallpaper which went great with the orange wood floors her friend had. She’s a gem!

[@vaderladyl]

@@youbetcha108 Yes blues and greens are a known decor trick to compliment and/or tame back orangey or reddish woods. Also taupes and earthy tones with no orange, yellow or red in them.

[@SS-wi4tm]

Art nouveau and dark academia should've gotten a shoutout. All of these are minimal in their own way and minimalism is out.

[@sharongrant6306]

MCM design-- affordable materials with attention to form and function. Btw, please speak at 4/4 instead of 7/8.

[@lidarandolph8322]

Isn’t Wabi Sabi Japandi style?

[@pamb2868]

I don’t like pastel anything. I need color. My sofa is a yellow gold. From Wayfair. My husband’s recliner is dark brown. It’s near a window and we have three dogs who are jumping on the chair to get to the window. My sofa I keep covered if it rains. I don’t want to have to clean it constantly. I couldn’t handle wabi sabi. Still no color. I can’t handle drab. I can’t take it when it rains and is dreary. That’s why I moved, finally, to the south. I would love to live on an island somewhere with lots of sunshine.

[@Tired_Night_Owl_in_the_Woods]

But how is called a design somewhat danish or scandinavian with a lot of greenery and textures, soft blankets, throw pillows, candles etc. Coziness to a max😅

[@MaggieLoveMTC]

I like pastel color painted furniture...I think it's French provincial (kind of Shabby Chic, but not shabby looking and kind of minimal. Never heard of Danish Pastel.

[@alimo1611]

love 4 but danish pastel makes me cringe - no no no

[@westcoastjj3658]

Wayfair honestly sells nothing but cheap crap. Terrible cheap crap. Come on.

[@shoshanachavab]

Ewww not my colours. Brown in wood ok.

[@loristreit1027]

Thank you love your design lessons , you make it fun! I learned most about Wabi Sabi 🪵
