[@Fivetimesthree]

I think the #1 mistake is buying everything all at once; especially after you’ve seen a particular trend online. It’s so hard to make your home feel like a natural collection of your interests and personality if you add to cart over the course of a month.

[@JenMUA]

I would agree with that!

[@andromedaAndy]

To any college kids vomiting boho/fake vines/etc. in their spaces: I think part of the charm of that period in your life is being unpolished. Let your DIY look like DIY. I remember going insane with painting my walls ridiculous colors and I have NEVER done anything like that since and may never again, but I'm glad I did it then.

[@jewel2318]

Authentic boho is awesome. I wanna live somewhere that feels nomadic and free. Authentic boho with vintage 70s pieces, rattan, cohesive color scheme, different patterns and plants is absolutely awesome. It feels lively as opposed to all the showroom type interior designs.

[@hannahbanana687]

Wouldn’t an authentic boho space be filled with pieces you got from traveling around and have a personal story behind them, not from things other people got that way and then donated or sold..?

[@jewel2318]

@@hannahbanana687 Yes, from traveling around, from flea markets, etc. So it can also be pieces you find that someone else is selling. Basically filling your home with trinkets that remind you of something or somewhere, that express your personality. Doesn't JUST have to be from traveling around.

[@HadleyJayne]

@@jewel2318 Yes - I agree! Bottom line, decorate your space in the style that YOU think is beautiful. The treasure and trinket you find at a flea market or yard sale can make your soul sing just as much as something that someone else purchases while traveling the world. You already recognize what speaks to you, so cherish it - and don't let anyone try to make you feel small because of it (because they will try). I've always loved boho style, too! : )

@@marialooksaround How exactly is she pushing them on to anyone else? did she force you to watch the video? Blink twice if you need help. She's giving her professional opinion not saying anyone needs to listen to her but saying what doesn't work for her. Everyone has taste levels or lack there of in some cases. You clicked on a video about someones taste and then get hurt because her opinions don't line up with your own.

[@raquelrusu4347]

She’s so sarcastic and has such dry humor that even though I’m guilty of somethings on the video, I’m laughing at myself. I have to admit her no nonsense advice has actually made me rethink how I decorate and lately I’ve been loving that vibe. It feels more authentic.

[@nigerianhurr90]

“Don’t be offended but I hate it” lol

[@youtubeaccount-yr6hb]

The "chevron floors" are a timeless classic. It's the cheap target clearance geometric motif spam that is paired with it that makes it look bad.

[@Bobelsey11]

I have a bit of an issue with these dislikes (even though I agree with many of them) because trend cycles seem to go like this: 1. Rich person does a thing, people like it and want to replicate it, but can’t afford it. 2. DIY versions and more affordable versions become available to us common, poor folk. 3. We partake in the trend because it’s affordable now and we really wanted it for a long time but couldn’t afford to splurge on it. 4. Now that all the poors are doing it the trend becomes “overdone” “basic” “ugly”. And people are shamed for enjoying it. That’s why I say go with whatever you like and reject trends. Dislike what you want but don’t judge people as having bad taste because they like a trend you consider outdated or cheap.

[@coconutgelato7459]

I like them in homes but I think it depends on the decor. It really wouldn’t fit in a really warm, organic space with cane and rattan for instance. For me, I have some of these lights in my hobby space where I have a bunch of laboratory equipment, and it fits very appropriately there.

Those photos of the rooms that were called Boho are mostly Boho Lite, in my opinion. Maybe people under the age of 40 think that’s Boho; it certainly isn’t IMO (I’m 62 years old). The all white, with some heavily textured textiles does NOT say Boho to me. Dear Paige, IMO, to do Boho legitimately, you need to have inherited furniture and textiles from family or bought it on trips, and integrated it into your residence with panache and care. Sure, you can buy a couple things at Target or World Market for your Boho pad, but that ain’t what Boho is about. In Boho, your stuff has to have meaning, significance, a story behind it. It helps if you love each and every object, too. 💗

[@vaderladyl]

Totally. I am 50 and also think this is not real Boho like we remember.

[@susangrande8142]

@@vaderladyl exactly. I was born 10 years too late to be a hippy, but I saw plenty of that when I was a girl. The caftans; the bead curtains; the giant house plants; the carved arms and mohair velvet sofas... sigh...

[@amyford8226]

"to do Boho legitimately, you need to have inherited furniture and textiles from family or bought it on trips" This assumes that someone has to either 1. have a family to give them a shit ton of things, or 2. have money to travel extensively. That doesn't sound very boho to me. Bohemianism is just an unconventional and artistic and free LIFESTYLE, like the Romani the term originally comes from. I agree that the pristine rooms that are currently popular don't really vibe bohemian either but how a person expresses themselves artistically has nothing to do with where they got their shit.

[@JDizzleFoshizzle67]

Styles evolve. This is today's version of the boho style.

[@obriehartfield7609]

Wow.. I love this

[@joycestewart4893]

Okay Paige, I am a retired designer and I had to subscribe to your channel! I laughed my measuring tape off since I absolutely agreed with EVERYTHING! In my day it was large flowered drapery and plastic everything. One bit of history, real chevron wood floors are very historical (you can find them in the Louvre); however, chevron everything is wince inducing.

[@outloudkat]

I agree with you on everything except the painted arches, specifically in bedrooms. I think it's a cheap way to mimic a headboard if you can't afford one. Also lower commitment than buying a bed frame.

[@wasselpa]

I agree it’s an affordable headboard alternative! I need to ponder some alternative options to the arch hmmm. Love the feedback!

[@diamondcentury21]

[@isabellasalazar5897]

It is kind of a commitment to your bed placement though, unless you move your bed and find a way to fill the arch and still have it look intentional. Personally, I like to know I can rearrange furniture in my room as I please so I feel like it wouldn't work well for me. But I do agree that it's a cheap headboard alternative, and I don't mind how it looks either.

[@ei_maj]

Personally I like when people get super creative with their "headboard" ideas, if it's not in the budget to purchase one. There are so many unique ways to do it, and obviously Pinterest is the best when it comes to researching and getting your thoughts sorted out when looking to "DIY" a larger project. It has to be done well though 😅

[@susanma4899]

This was my first encounter with "shabby chic." I'd just moved to a new city and wandered into a shop. Everything in the shop was super expensive, but the vibe was SO GOOD--this happened in 1992 and I've never forgotten it. Almost everything in the shop was from France and it was old and beat-up and the shop was sparsely furnished. Everything was yes, shabby. It was shabby because it was 100 years old. That, to me, is the real deal. The idea that something could be both gorgeous and falling apart really changed my thinking.

This is such an interesting video to me bc a lot of these trends speak to what I associate with distinctly US interior design trends that feel very foreign to me/my experience in people's homes in europe (central and eastern europe bc that's where I've lived mostly). Like the super farmhouse/shabby chic/mason jar/live laugh love-aesthetic is especially rare. My personal pet peeve is the uber-minimal ikea look (Ikea doesn't style their rooms this way anymore, but a lot of people I think quickly veer into this territory when they are scared of more "old"/intricate designs and details in furniture that feel more grandma-y to a lot of people), where everything is squared off and white/grey/black, and "clean" to the point that it feels cold and bland.

[@socialmoth4974]

Agree. Not a big fan of the sterile, minimalist look myself. I prefer lots of ornate detailing, color, organic shapes, and natural materials. Old world aesthetic.

Although Paige is brutally honest with her opinions, I’d say do what you want with your decor. Its YOUR home, who cares what ppl or the www says. You can have one room thats BOHO and another shabby chic or farm house. Who cares. If that makes you happy do it.

[@melissastanford9648]

Tufting is also timeless and classic. If you shopped in a decent or high-end or even at custom furniture vendor you would know how often classic pieces have button tufting.

[@psdeas7530]

Very high end furniture stores have VERY pricey tufted leather chesterfields, because they are timeless. That matching headboard/loveseat combo was awful, though. I hate ANY fabric headboard because they get filthy. I bought one to paint in order to integrate into a wall mural, and it came out of the shipping box with greasy handprints on it. Those have been eradicated, and it can now be wiped clean, but the gross used ones have head prints on them…🤢

I agree too much of one thing is a bad idea. I have to disagree on what you referenced as zig zag floors:) Herringbone wood floors have been around for centuries and are absolutely stunning (when done the right way:) Refreshing video👍

[@lestranged]

It's those corny signs that turn me off. Inspirational quotes, text on walls, text on pillows, even the trendy Rae Dunn ceramics with text on them. To me the text RUINS those ceramics. It would be a perfectly nice, functional, pleasing shape and color and then she puts that childish text on it and ruins it. But she's making millions so who am I to judge. Do I really need a sign telling me to "SLEEP" in a bedroom? I want to make a line of signs for bathrooms that say "Defecate" in gold leaf cursive script.

I remember this trend in the early 00's where people would stencil those quotes onto their walls. Honestly I wish the Hobby Lobby inspirational quote trend would die a horrid death. I've always hated it.

Plastic vines on the walls reminds me of when I was a kid and people would paint ivy or flowers on the corners of their mirrors to look like “stained glass”. Like there was a specific type of paint for it and I saw it so many places.

[@stephaniemover6298]

Not everyone wants to live in a modern home that changes slightly with trends. Many of the trends you dissed on are incorporating unique, important pieces to transform the space into something enjoyable to live in. Some people want to live in a mystical fairy garden. Others want to show off their antique rugs and tables that have been in the family for generations. Just because something isn't your style doesn't mean it isn't a valid style for anyone. I personally hate this modern-style white-walled hellscape we live in and will cling to all my vines and mason jars filled with fairy lights until the day I die. And yes I would love a wooden chevron wall as well.

[@whaled-buffalo9640]

[@kimhaas7586]

Suit yourself. I think what she’s trying to say is some of these trends don’t look so good. Ok, they look tacky and they won’t age well. So as long as you know that, knock yourself out.

[@greenluxi]

@@kimhaas7586 Idk, it depends on how it's used which is what a true interior designer understands. There are very few things that are completely out, it about design harmony and how that element is composed in the entirety of the style. I kind of cringed at the boho critique, because it's an entire genre of interior style, it can go out of style maybe it needs to re-update certain elements but it's weird to say "boho is out of style"....no it's not. Pretty much everything she listed, a talented interior designer could make look amazing in a space. If she had clients it would be difficult to start nixing most of these elements. She even referred to industrial as bad, like wtf?

[@kimhaas7586]

@@greenluxi I think it was pretty clear what she was criticizing. It’s not that boho is wrong. It’s that making everything around you boho is like going to boholand at Disneyworld. Nothing wrong with industrial. But there’s a line between industrial and steam punk and it’s pretty obvious when you cross it. It’s like the Real Housewives houses. I can’t believe they all copied each other with the grand entry staircase. gilded furniture and acres of marble tile. Pick one but not all of it unless you want to look like you hired Melania Trump’s interior designer. She may not like boho or industrial because that’s not HER style but what she’s telling people to avoid is overloading one single style anywhere and not giving the eye a break. What gets on my nerves lately is this grand millennial everything is maximalist to the nth degree. It’s too much MUCH. And hey, if you like cottagecore, go for it. It’s charming and full of unique things. You never know when a dwarf will show up or an old crone will come to tea with a poisoned apple tart. I actually prefer white walls, a cohesive color palette (blue, green, gray and light cream), a little pattern and a transitional style with some new quality pieces mixed with ikea hacks and vintage. I can change it up whenever I want. I’m not limited by a style I feel wedded to. But you do you.

[@katedefender]

I think the boho problem is that it's really inexpensive and easy to do. I accidentally did this to my house and I'm an adult. I've always followed the rule that I'd rather look bad than basic in apparel and home decor. Years ago, like in 2012, I started collecting things from the thrift store that looked "fresh and airy". BAM, BOHO. Oops. A kind friend pointed it out like 5 years ago and saved my life.

I grew up in actual New England farmhouses. No monkey ward oak, not barn doors (those belonged in the barn), no shiplap (that was primitive). A lot of Laura Ashley victorian wallpaper, a lot of 18th & 19th century mahogany and walnut, a lot of antique family photos, a lot of braided rugs. We used Mason jars for canning. Sometimes as a vase, but usually canning.

This girl has no real style in my opinion. The “modernized barn door” she prefers is literally one big rectangle with no detail. I don’t even like farmhouse but my lord....I agree with some stuff, but modern decor is bland and feels like your living in a box and these recommendations don’t help. No wonder our modern buildings look terrible inside and out when we have decorators and architects like this...also herringbone is European. You would think a decorator would know that...

[@mayrajimenez7147]

I love this! I’ve always been more of just buying what I truly love and quality over quantity.

But that’s just my opinion.

Let's be real just like katelyn she said something that you like that she doesn't like and that's why you're commenting about her being "angry" because you're sitting there with your burnt orange arch in the background.

Your take regarding chevron was funny to hear from a European perspective ! I grew up in Paris, where a lot of hard wood floor is just traditionally done that way. Now that I live in Canada I miss it very much because floors here tend to be boring/low quality. I would love to have chevron hard wood floors in my home one day, but I won't be reach enough. Here it seems to be a sign of wealth, I only see it in luxury condos. But I get that if you're from the States it just seems out of context, when it's actually a very traditional style.
