RUSTIC LUXURY: The TREND REPLACING FARMHOUSE IN 2022 : HOW TO + TOUR

[@JessieBanana]

I’ve never considered myself a colorful person, but every example of every style Valentina shows is the exact same beige color palette. I feel like it makes everything look the same.

[@crystaldawn3477]

I love farmhouse style but have never liked the chickens, cows, and rusty pieces that others often used with it. I love the distressed wood and black metal accents. It’s awesome to see that aspects of different styles can come together to make beautiful, classy spaces! Thank you for inspiring with every video!

[@blackbangtaninyourarea9120]

😊

[@rebajackson2369]

I love modern farmhouse too with those same wood and black metal accents. And pottery and plants.

[@gailbissell3910]

To be truly honest I found that in the beginning the giggling annoyed me also! Then I thought about it and realised I was projecting outwardly what I was feeling internally, I was not in a happy place so I projected that. I now love the banter between Valentina and her husband/ children, it’s so nice to see and feel their bond and closeness. NEVER EVER try to suppress someone happiness! And I truly truly love all the idea and tips Valentina shares with us, I for one am truly grateful. X

[@sampuatisamuel9785]

Agreed, Valentina and family are such happy souls

[@pennypistol]

Love their freedom to laugh and have fun informing us at the same time. I don’t know about the rest of you, but I need to laugh more.

[@wendybrown2584]

I'm an interior designer and realtor, and love creating my own styles, but also being inspired by other designers and you are one that I love to watch and draw from. Your warmth and enthusiasm, the passion you live is contagious lol. I love and have passion for all things real estate also, and love designing change or decorating existing spaces for my clients. Your advice and videos that you take time to do for your subscribers is appreciated. Thanks for not posting just a five or ten minute video like most do, but for taking time, half hour or more, it shows that you actually do care about imparting wisdom and fun and blessing others with some ideas and inspiration to use on their own homes. Love watching you and love Jack too..he's adorable...together you guys make a perfect team. Keep growing....been watching you guys for years and excited to watch all future videos. OH and thanks also for having a new video every other day or two...so nice to get a coffee and sit, take a break and watch..you are uplifting when stress or 'busy' is taking over. PS, your makeup is different, eyes I think but beautiful!...love it and you too!

[@lblak59]

I love this style. It’s been my go to for years. I call it Rustic Elegance.

[@davisholman8149]

I have nailed this style for the last 20 years. I called it Nature Chic, lol.

I am so in love with this style! But can we talk about Loui for a minute? He is the sweetest pup and he was definitely waiting for you to sit down and cuddle 🥰

[@erinames7783]

I am so happy to learn about this style. I have naturally sort have gone this route and thought I was crazy with the two opposite styles. I crave the sleek richness of marbles and leather with blacks and grays but Love chunky heavy gorgeous woods with the warm browns. I now have a name for this style I have! I have started adding in carpeting and throws. I really enjoy your videos.

[@HouseofValentina]

I think you nailed it when you said having space around you feels luxurious. Paring down and not being afraid to add some modern touches without having to change everything is what I have done to add this beautiful, timeless style to my home, also seeing how you put things together is a big help so thank you!

[@sha-toinaswint2152]

Absolutely gorgeous! I have been decorating in this style and didn’t know it was a name for it because I never liked farmhouse at all. I am really earthy, but I adore luxury as well. I have always curated the two. Thanks so much beautiful

[@smashsixty]

I love hearing you describe how materials are and why they work together. I’m a graphic/ux/product designer and I enjoy learning about interior design, especially composition. Watching your videos is such a delight! Thank you Valentina, cheers from Argentina, keep ‘em coming!

[@billiecueto4953]

Valentina! Had to stop and say how grateful I am for stumbling onto your videos!!! This one help me reignite my passion for design. In the process of building a home and working on picking everything. Your videos are so helpful and I love that you encourage people to find the things they love 💕 Also your outfits are incredible! God bless you and your adorable family 🙏

[@mickeyremich3039]

Can I “like” this video 1000x!! This is perfect and finally can define what I like and how I feel! Also love this because it is personalized for each individual - you won’t walk into a home “styled” in this manor and say to yourself as you might with the farmhouse vibe, “Oh, a barn door - hallmark of farmhouse.” You’ll just say breathe in and say “mmm beautiful”!

[@dr.angelajones2594]

I love the warm rustic luxury look. I feel like my style has finally been given a name. Also, Louis needs to be a constant in all your videos. He is precious:)

[@rneustel388]

Your home is just stunning-it’s so above and beyond what it’s ever been before! It’s easy to see this is from your heart. I love the peek into your dining room-it’s beautiful, too. Hugs to Louie. He’s such a sweet dog and loves his mama!

[@susanmartinez3373]

I've always loved mixing up elements... Rustic and velvet items etc. It's so neat to see it labeled and talked about. 😊 .

[@maryanncarmody5646]

I LOVED this video! I have never heard of "Rustic Luxury" but I am happy to say that at 59 I finally know that this is me! I rarely follow trends, mostly did my own thing, however finding your channel and videos has not only made me feel at home, it's opened my eyes & work with what I have, add what I can, but feel like I've updated my space. Love your videos V, LOVE THEM! Thank you.

[@odorupompokorin2012]

Pursue what feels right for you. Always remember that your house will have actual people living on them doing everyday things. Your home is not picture

[@annekeller7828]

Like most of the comments on here I couldn’t figure out what my style was for my family room. Now I know lol. Fireplace similar colour & style to yours, modern leather furniture with a few antique & rustic cabinets & tables. Wasn’t sure if it was the proper way of decorating mixing it all up but I like it & it’s my modern comfy style for this room. Thankyou for this video

[@cherylbelott]

Love this style. I try to do this in my home. I like the ability to bring nature in while including touches of luxury and elegance. Especially while trying to work with things I already own. Thanks for highlighting items from big box stores that look high end, but are more affordable!!

[@Lornawhitney]

I am SO happy to “officially” learn about this style as it’s what I’ve been drawn to and have been doing in my living room! I have a love for traditional decor but I adore rustic elements. I was finding it quite difficult to mix the two as at first they seem too different. This has given me so much food for thought. Thanks Valentina x 🇬🇧

[@zohcold]

Keeping laughing! Keep smiling! Love the videos.

[@HouseofValentina]

Thank you so much!

[@eviemichael]

As always, loving your videos! I feel like rustic luxury isn't my main style, BUT I am really wanting to integrate natural materials, mix textures, and bring warmth as much as possible into my European/Parisian decor. It resonates that this is less a trend, and more of a way of being-celebrating nature in our homes.

[@HouseofValentina]

I love the way you’re thinking. I’m the same way with this trend.

[@melindamiller9515]

I love photography themed coffee table books. As soon as I turn my back, my husband switches all of them out for Kentucky Wildcat books. The struggle never ends. 💙 Will you do a video about your gallery wall with various art/photography pieces? Making it cohesive? How to put one together without over doing it? Another great video!

[@cvonsutphen]

*YES* . I love this look. I transitioned into a very earthy color palette, browns, dark olive, touches of black. Velvet and micro-suede with a leather and boucle are yummy. Growing up in the Adirondack's of NYS, "cabin vibes" were buffalo check, black bear and deer. This style is so much better.

[@kbs7583]

While watching, I almost forgot the video was for thousands of others as well. I felt as though I was there, that we are close friends, and you were talking to me. What a gift you have, Valentina. And your including Louie -- well that just took it over the top!

[@ameliaclark5792]

Yes this is what I gravitate to. I love the rustic glam look a rustic farm table with a beautiful traditional brass and crystal chandelier over it makes me happy:)

[@justbecause...]

This is right up my alley, Valentina!! I am sooo excited to watch this! I have lived in Copenhagen, Denmark for 5 years and recently discovered your channel. I am moving back to Texas soon, where I am from, into my sister-in-love's old family farmhouse. I absolutely cannot wait to decorate and settle back in, bringing the scandi-minimalistic design and lifestyle I have embraced and fallen in love with while living here. Your channel has given me so much inspiration and entertainment! Thank you!!

[@kirstenbech9893]

I'm with you! Doesn't this style seem just "normal" Danish house? It has always struck me a little odd how the American interpretation of Danish design seems to be all modern, but my favorite Danish homes are just like this: earthy, open, warm, and a mix of old and new/modern and not. Some of the classic Danish hotels are great examples of this.

[@FoodPreservation]

Will you be starting a channel? I'd watch!

[@stamperssecret5379]

I LOVE HOW YOU ARE WITH Louis. It really tells me that you have a beautiful soul.

[@oliviaedwards7875]

This video really inspired me. I live in the desert and wasn't sure I could pull off a rustic luxury/scandi kind of look but...I took inspiration from your video and refreshed my great room - and I LOVE IT. I changed the pillow covers to neutral tones with various rustic luxury textures (thank you to your Amazon storefront) and swapped out a contemporary multi-color rug with a luxurious cream and beige shag in a geometric pattern. The result is a cool, calm, fresh look that is timeless and will look as cool and collected in the warm/hot months and is cozy and inviting in our mild but cooler weather now. I couldn't be happier! Thanks for the inspiration and ideas to transform my room into a fresh look I love.

[@lizpetruzzi7700]

Love this style so much! I call my style “casual elegance” but this encompasses what my soul loves - beauty, warmth and approachable but with sophistication. One of your best videos in terms of explanation with examples - always enjoy you and your videos❤️ my Amazon budget keeps expanding!😂 Thank you for so generously sharing your passion and expertise❤️

I redecorated my living and dining and came up with the phrase "rustic contemporary" which just suddenly made sense to me. And the muted tones like you mentioned are rich and soothing.

[@alyssamarie1091]

It’s so amazing how everyone has different opinions on things. Sometimes when she says things look “cozy” I think they look uncomfortable but I definitely get good ideas from these videos and feel tempted to add more luxury looking items to my living room.

[@luchy2474]

Best decor YT channel…hands down..it has truly inspired me

[@nina009]

I used to watch so many videos about how to pin point my design style so I can stop buying things that dont always fit my home, and always felt like it didnt make any sense to me because I didn't fit into any of those categories I was hearing over and over again. I truly identify with this rustic luxury style and knowing that it's a thing makes me feel less crazy about what design aesthetic I'm drawn to and the things Im filling my home with.

[@angelawahr2322]

I like this...I think that having space and appreciation for the items you have and cherish cannot be underestimate. I love the very few items that mean the most to me even more this way

[@beverlymurtaugh4046]

Rustic Luxury! Perfect blend and you're right it's been around forever. I look around my house now and that's always been my style. Love your channel and look forward to more post.

[@danyellesibert6724]

Oh my word! This has been my style for years and I have never been able to put my finger on it! Literally identical. I have that studio McGee bookend, hence why I know where it is from, also the textured case that’s white on your last area. Along with the new vase with spots both from target! Ahh!! I have those iron candle rods on your table, I’m almost positive they are exact from hobby lobby! You are my identical and now I am empowered to paint as I have never been able to push to choose a new color and have dealt with the paint and floors from when I purchased my home 6 years ago! Ahhh! Thank you for the tour and honestly I’m copying your bedroom! I just found the most amazing wool blankets on sale at home good and I could not believe how many people passed them up on clearance for $15! In my home we have blankets and lighting every where! But scaled back enough to move round! Thank you! I am now a huge fan after a few days of watching and let me tell you I got in so so much trouble with your new ikea video! Keep it coming! I’m learning how to manipulate my style better and I’m so so empowered!

It's warm, contemporary, so comfortable, especially easy to maintain and I only live with the things I absolutely LOVE in my home. Thank you for giving it a name :)

[@robinbirdj743]

Reading recently about the Colonial Revival style (last seen as Modern Farmhouse, and before that just Farmhouse- or Colonial in the 1980s), I had a light bulb moment. We’ve been modernizing Colonial style over and over. Elevating it, repurposing it, marking it, making it our own. Do the research- super cool. And you do this black, chic, practical and luxe version of Colonial style very, very well. Brava!

[@damarisjimenez2261]

Stained wood is in satin finish. Floor is white tile with smudged gray/taupe that looks dirty already!! Everything else is very organic and muted. I love the coziness while flipping on glam chandelier lighting. Only question i have and welcome input from everyone...what stain color for Hickory kitchen cabinets? White Marble countertops with light gray swirls.

[@sharylkriete7953]

I love the contrast, warmth, approachability and that it also looks luxurious at the same time.

Thank you for all the inspiration! I have purchased so many things for my home at your recommendation and I love everything. The Casa Luna towels you spoke of recently are my favorite towels now.

Thank you for sharing your talents with us!

[@charalson3023]

I am THRILLED to know that MY decorating style is an “actual style”, lol!! I am passionate about mid-mod mixed with rustic and a teeny bit of Texas cowboy (being a Texan decorating with cowboy rustic goes WITHOUT saying!). I am also an abstract artist (encaustic painting, alternative photo printmaking-which is very modern, marbled & handmade paper but also a weaving textile artist-prior life I wove horse show saddle pads) so adding in all these textures, rustic colors, mixed with mid-mod furniture & lighting - yum! I’ve subbed and now binge watching ALL your videos! Thank you for sharing your expertise and all the links, your generosity is amazing - best wishes for a great 2022 (This year I am retiring, moving and downsizing into a 400 sq ft one room studio cottage + 400 sq Ft 3 season screened room + finally a dedicated art studio, yay me!)

I've been doing this for the last year or so. I purchased a newly renovated loft but it was done with white high gloss cabinets and grey laminate flooring. I'm not at a point where I can just switch out my flooring and cabinets and for the first while of living here I couldn't quite figure out how to make this place feel more down to earth since everything was so new and also so cool toned. I had been using light blonde woods throughout with furnishing but something was still off. I actually got the book Scandi Rustic last winter and that sparked my love for rustic items. I love mixing in new and old and slowly but surely my place feels more lived in, warm, welcoming, and it's much easier to forget about my grey flooring and white high gloss cabinets when the rustic elements help bring it back down to earth. Natural materials and imperfect items have really balanced out the sterile look this place had when I first bought it. Luckily the actual bones of this place are extremely unique with pitched 20 foot ceilings and skylights in every single room which help it along as well.
