Hey can you collab with Brittany Vasseur this year?

[@fashionforwardmom]

So funny I have sage green walls now and I am redoing my cabinets and I painted them a swiss coffee and a very muted blue/gray color I can't remember the name of the blue but I am painting my walls repose gray so tired of the green lol. We bought our home last year and I loved the green but it is time for it to go lol. I also painted all of my interior doors and exterior doors black. In the main living space you see the front door, back door and two bedroom doors it is a small space so the black really pops and makes it feel more designed to me. Thanks for sharing and green is my fav color but I have used it forever and I am moving towards blues now so guess I will not be on trend yet again lol.

Me too! I really do not like the modular sofas, big splashy modern art nothing displayed like BOOKS and curated art and beautiful accents!

Just painted our dining room Sherwin Williams silverpointe… it’s light gray with a hint of sage 😍

[@lizhorton5333]

Enjoyed the video. I’m in the boomer generation. Its interesting that traditional decor is coming back. To me it was always about quality, comfort, lighting and doing what appeals to your aesthetic. I love mixing traditional with modern, like abstract art over a beautiful wood chest. Creamy white walls with an Oushak rug. Also its nice to have some open spaces and some more private.

[@EM-mn3nz]

I love dark floors but I’ve always thought those blue gray mismatch floors were soooo ugly. I’m glad they’ll be on their way out lol. I’m glad the traditional style is coming back too. It feels so timeless and cozy imo. I love the closed off floor plan as well. I think I’ll always prefer an open kitchen and main living area bc it’s so nice for get togethers and stuff but everything else more divided would be nice.

[@karlamax3]

I really enjoy your videos they’re very relaxing to watch and listen to. you do a 👏🏽 job giving advice🥰

[@debbiemize2269]

We added a downstairs bedroom in 2008 and painted it a sage green, my husband’s idea! That room is the most soothing in the entire house! I feel so relaxed in our master suite, the color is so calming. I am really glad to hear that open floor plans are about to run their course. I much prefer to have designated rooms for designated purposes.

[@2cmrinhfx]

I love traditional homes, versus open plans. As long as the rooms are not as tight and narrow as they used to be. I am not a blue/ green person but sage is one of those colors, on trend or not, that is so relaxing. Glad to see the end of the cold greys. Great video!

I Love how Kristen addressed all areas of the home - super helpful. In regard to the smart pet food dispenser which was cool: kibble causes diabetes in both cats and dogs. It also causes urinary diseases in cats. Maybe a little off topic, but I wish someone had told me this before it was too late.

[@sl6909]

Remodeled my home in 2020 and went with 7 1/2” white oak flooring. Our house is also older with beautiful wall panels, archways and pocket doors. Went with Simply White on the doors and drift of mist on the paneled walls throughout the entire house. Glad to see I made the right choices from your video and hearing what’s coming in trend for 2022. I get compliments on my flooring all the time and yes, they are easy to clean and just make the room light and airy.

[@andicantu6490]

When talking about paint, it’s nice to know the popular type, flat or egg shell, etc.

[@juliemckinnon6213]

I have had dark floors, light floors, and even mahogany reddish toned floors. Dark espresso floors are my favorite no matter my current design. I feel like they ground the room and provide contrast, depth, and warmth. I have three shedding dogs (yellow, chocolate and black) and these floors do not show any more "dirt" than any of my others. I will stick to them.

[@leahgregory889]

[@loriwald9532]

I feel much better after watching this video. 50 years old and never really decorated or considered design styles or interior decorating. I feel in love with the gray/cream/soft beige colored look and decided that even though I liked the new recommended paints, I didn’t want to fully commit. I’m pretty sure I read that accent walls are “out” but I might just do one accent wall of color and the rest a soft cream. That way i can easily repaint one wall for a new look. It will be fun to pick out a few coordinating accent colors to make the green pop a bit.

[@justincaputo]

Agree with most of these! Don't think traditional is coming back nor is closed off space. I still get clients every day asking me for an open floorplan. lol

[@theopkingdom3433]

Yay!! All the things I love are finally on trend! Mid-tone wood floors, neutral colors (taupes, dark navy, sagey green), and architectural details like the picture frame molding!

[@henriikkak2091]

Yesss! I put in oak parquet floors because oak is the one wood tone that I never ever tire of. It looks best paired with sage green walls or even muddy earth tones. Navy is good, as are classic black and white.

[@ms.lizzypoulos9276]

The greens are fabulous! Green has always been my favorite color. Glad peeps are catching on! haha

[@theterrellproject512]

I’m with you on everything except for doing away with the dark floors, although they do show tracking more than lighter ones. Dark floors provide a better contrast to light walls.

[@laurihuey7662]

My mom renovated her apartment a few years ago. The light wood floors are the best option. I helped her pick a light oak with slight yellow undertones it goes with all types of furniture and doesn't show alot of dirt. Light wooden floors also makes the space open and airy feel.

Great video. I'm a fan of wall moulding. I'm planning to add it to my front and back entrances along with accenting walls in my living room, dining room, and owner's bedroom. We have creamy white kitchen cabinets with taupe, brown, and cream granite countertops. Our plan is to add a dark brown, matte backsplash and paint the backside of the kitchen island a similar deep brown. We moved into a builder-grade townhome last year, so I want to personalize our space. Great suggestions. I enjoy watching your videos.

[@annat8556]

I like everything you talked about except the dark green , it reminds me of the hunter green of the 90s. However, the light misty green is pretty.

I’ve had lighter wood and it looks yellow over time! I’ll take my chances with darker floors! Love the look with everything else white which doesn’t look good with lighter wood imo 🤷🏻‍♀️🤗

I agree. I think darker wood floors anchor a light color palette of white/creamy white cabinetry and light-colored walls, otherwise the room looks too “white”.

[@amandavalpey1521]

I think you are on point with all of your design trends advice. Thank you so much for the great video! The only one I would push back a little on, not because it’s not on trend, but because I think it’s risky, is the floors. I totally agree that dark, dark floors are out, however, the sand colored floors that you are recommending could potentially be risky. They are on trend now(and beautiful!), but they will not always be. As someone who just refinished and added more hardwood to our entire house, I can say with 100% certainly, I will never do that again. It was such an ordeal. I struggled with the color so much, and I LOVE(!!!) the light, sandy colored floors that are on trend. However, I know that look will go out as fast as it came in, so I opted to choose a historic color. Although it’s darker than I wanted, I am hoping in the long run, it will always be relevant and never look dated.🤞🏽 Floors are such a huge project and investment, so they are kind of a one and done project, so you’ve got to go timeless. Just my two cents. 😄

[@myrtlebeachsara]

I have the same opinion, I feel the ultra light are going to leave as fast as they came. Dark floors are classic, I think a safe color is a midpoint that's slightly darker than it is light.

[@nellymatias143]

Ladies thanks for the input . I’m about to be remodeling my Home and thought about dark wood floors with white walls but was disappointed when she said they were not in, not sure what to do now. Not a big fan of those light color floors 😫

@@nellymatias143 get some samples! You can look at them in your home and see what you're really drawn towards, and what you love in your space. Lighting is so important, if your home is better or darker, certain colors and tones will be better vs worse! Trust your gut, and pick what YOU love 🤗

Woo for traditional! I never left it lol. Planning our new build at the moment and it has lots of picture frame moulding, far more detailed all over than the houses I see others build. I’ve never liked open pan so I’ve done a semi closed plan using walls as barriers, our dining space is open to the kitchen one of the living rooms but will have pocket glass French doors so it can feel closed off or open.
