The WORST DECOR MISTAKES with the EASIEST FIXES!

[@jaysons7581]

Valentina talking about no longer doing an accent wall while talking in front of her accent wall. 😅

[@GG-si9we]

Absolutely!! 😊

[@Paris_1217]

😂

[@Kismet111]

It’s a fire place 😂 not a wall !

Focal point and accent wall are different

[@jaysons7581]

An accent wall IS a focal point. 🤦🏻‍♂️😆

[@7CALKDZ]

Such great advice all the time! Thank you! Your joy is infectious!!

[@barbaraderossi7]

does this mean you will be painting out your accent fireplace wall?! i like that accent wall and i do think they work in big spaces 🙂

[@deborahLeighton-em2zt]

Love Valentina- so inspiring! All great ideas! Love the color drench and fireplace focus-paint feature! Just wow! Happy Sunday! ❤

[@TJ-lk3mj]

I love you Valentina! Your videos always brighten my day and such a beautiful home you have made❤

[@GG-si9we]

Isn’t your fireplace wall an accent wall? Sure looks like an accent to me ! 😮😊❤

[@Angelia_Colorado]

@@GG-si9we Not sure V considers Black an accent color…it’s more her core color 🤣🥰. Most people have their fireplace covered with brick stone wood or paint so I just consider it architectural feature. I have a 4 sided fireplace that I covered with pole wrap (fluted wood) I maybe the only that likes it but I love it. Sort of mid century organic modern…if that’s even a thing 🥰 Hope everyone had a great weekend!

My bookshelf is 98% books, and 2% practical reading related “decor” such as marble bookends, decorative box filled with bookmarks and my extra book light clip, and an antique magnifying glass.

[@jessievillard383]

Sounds lovely, actually. I never thought of adding a decorative box with bookmarks on my bookshelf and I think it is a great idea, so thanks for sharing!

[@Angelia_Colorado]

💯 agree with all of it! An option for cord issues, I use Sleek Socket outlet and cord concealer. It’s great for when the only outlet is visible and not hidden behind furniture. Available on Amazon. Maybe I got that suggestion from you originally. Have a great week V!

[@Eegajd]

Awe man, I loved all those pics of the gallery walls you showed at the beginning…. Like the ones u hated 😢 aw man.

[@arlenegibson9158]

A lot of other designer's like them too. That's her opinion.

[@ansbach74]

I think you can have different styles of lamps on either side of the bedroom/living room as long as they complement each other and fit the overall aesthetic of your room.

[@lisaa3678]

Question about color drenching. Do you use flat or eggshell on walls and then satin on trim - all in same color - or other finish combo? Oh, and what finish for the ceiling?

[@lionsgirl-n8g]

Made my Sunday. Love your videos.

[@JoR00ke]

I agree about cords on show but unless I chase them into my walls I can’t hide mine 😬. Err V you have an accent wall above your fireplace 🤣 xx

[@thewanderer1139]

Yes her idea looks so much better than a collage wall of just all kinds of different pictures

[@janspell2516]

Totally agree with all!

[@cvonsutphen]

*Book Shelf Styling and Gallery Walls* . I worked with a friend on her family room refresh. She had the room freshly painted and one long wall with built-ins that we color drenched in a matte finish. She's an avid reader with many books. I proposed removing all the book jackets and creating groupings by spine color. We created triangular vignettes with framed photos and objects. The end result was resting placing for the eye. We also did a gallery wall over her sofa using all the same frames and matting with 2 inch spacing for a collection of 12 prints. It's dramatic! I had to giggle about the "accent wall", say's the lady filming in a white room with a black accent wall. ~ ❤

[@rosemariepollock9050]

What I am tired of is the black and white that seems like everyone is doing

[@annaantonov2780]

Good morning!! Love to see you on Sunday morning!❤

[@lblak59]

I love the console at 3:11❤ All the other designers out there are saying accent walls are back in. And yes, I agree it really looks great with some wallpaper like grass cloth. And I think color drenching only works in designated rooms like dining room rooms perhaps bedrooms, but not in an open concept kitchen/great room.

[@amo8737]

Happy Sunday Valentia! What is the paint color around your fireplace?

[@Day-NNight]

17:30⭕️ timeless I would say . ⭕️Thanks for sharing .

[@lolamost3100]

I agreed with all of them. I have an issue with my cords as well, I put a basket next to the cords, put the cords inside of it, and i put a blanket or pillow on the top😅

[@sabinescheer7803]

Oh, hey guys, it’s already early evening in germany. Have a nice day and thanks for that very inspiring video. See you in the next, I love them .... 👋🇩🇪

[@ChristyAndre62]

I’m doing about 4 of these mistakes and love them.

[@j.j.3297]

That large art at 10:13.... any ideas what store photo that was from? My mouth is watering.

[@samiageldner3451]

I agree with most of your points in your videos, but your repeated criticism of books on bookshelves really gets to me. Like you, I don't like clutter and things looking too busy. However, I think that just books on bookshelves creates a uniform look. Different decor items on bookshelves actually seems like clutter to me.

[@our2kidsMR]

I really appreciated the lamp decor tip! Thank you! This was one of my questions on a previous video recently.

[@peggyj7243]

I agree with you regarding cords, but sometimes depending on your room you can not avoid....or can I? Please show us crearive ways besides a basket or pot. Thanks.

[@leonalii1533]

Book cases totally without books as you see in many design articles do not make sense for me either...

[@RitaVernoy]

❤❤❤

[@melindahouston9292]

I bought the up lights that you love, Valentina but just like the one you unplugged I can't seem to hide the cords and have them where they do their "uplighting magic". They're currently back in their box out of frustration. Are there any hacks, tricks, covers that might help?

[@JoanWilliams-oj9kw]

HAPPY SUNDAY CUTE VALENTINA! 🥰

[@HouseofValentina]

Oh, thank you so much Joan!

[@tanyaflynn4908]

Valentina, we need a line from you! 🙏

[@DemeNicole1]

I love my black accent wall. And your fireplace is somewhat of an accent wall. A lot of people paint them usually the color of their room. So I guess you do have an accent wall.

[@juliemckinnon1480]

Before I even watch it… pick me! Stickers on counter fruit and veggies. 🤣🤣

[@BarbB313]

❤yes...even worse in a staged home that is on the market.😂

[@liisaking1247]

Those PB shelves looked messy because they didn't have *enough* books in there and they were falling over. You could stack some books to help keep others upright but it does make it more awkward to access that book you want to read or reread from the bottom of the stack! However, since I live in a *very* tiny space (under 400 sq ft) and I do have sentimental memorabilia I want to display too, I have doors on the bottom half of a couple of BILLY bookshelves. The bottom is for miscellaneous books and the doors visually calm that area. Then the top half of each bookshelf can be styled with memorabilia that I love. But the ideal as an avid bibliophile is to have them filled with books (instead of having so many books in storage).

[@rickigottlieb]

I understand what you’re saying about the gallery walls getting too crazy….but I do think variety in art (including various sizes and frames) can be very interesting. Art is so subjective. Sometimes repeating the same thing can get boring. I think you just have to make sure they complement each other. Color drenching is interesting and I like it. But I have seen other designers (Nate Berkus) keep the trims white.

[@gracegamboa1819]

Well a nice collective gallery wall is better done hanging black and white art into a black and white house .this doesn't need a lot of creativity.

[@francahillseth5248]

How do you color drench when you have wood stained trim?

[@auntieinamerica5503]

What else could we put all the books for people like to read?

[@BarbB313]

❤ 1) too much stuff/furniture; 2) no dog or cat 3) cluttered counters of ppl trying to show off their Le Creuset, Breville, Kitchen Aid pro mixer, Cuisinart...what did I miss? You don't use those everyday ppl; 4) generic art; 5) vibrant wall colors; 5) white painted trim with high contrast painted walls; 6) boob lights; 7) windows dressed so you don't see the outside

Some of those small appliances are very heavy and difficult to move around. May not be an issue of "showing off."

My bookcase is books only because I read books. 400+ books . I need space for books. .My library and office in one. If you read, having books is just fine.

[@murielbaith5445]

Pillow covers w/o zippers? Just put the pillow cover over the whole thing.

[@susanvandenbrink3862]

Love to have many books on my bookshelves. Have a few hand made ceramic pots/ sculpture pieces as accents. Using book shelves for decor cubbies doesn’t work. The sculptures need to be placed where they can be featured. Too contrived to be in book cases.

Not just mismatched lamps, but too small of a lamp. An end table with a 12” lamp sitting on it gives me the heebee geebees 😂 And I’m sorry….buying the whole floor display from a showroom 😬, be it bedrooms, dining rooms or living rooms. Yipes.

[@alenakozlova-awas42]

When will designers realize that people love accent walls!!!😂😂😂 they are not going anywhere. For instance, painting the whole room in black and repainting it later cause you didn't like it, is a lot harder than repainting one wall 😅
