Trends Making a Comeback

[@sonbathed1]

Since you asked, I believe that trends are just marketer's fodder to keep the masses consuming. I prefer to purchase well-made things that are meaningful and useful to me. If you buy what you love and serves you well, it can last a lifetime. Sing with your own voice ...even if it's off-key.

[@grkvenus7275]

At the ripe of age of 50 I no longer care AS MUCH about trends because I cannot keep changing the house. I love my home and I do makes small changes but I have drawn a line in the sand. And the older furniture is better made than some of the more modern pieces. Just have to find a balance.

[@melissa-wz6uj]

I was thinking the same thing! Also People have to remember that beautiful people like Valentina do this for a job and not everyone can afford constantly changing everything. Just remember You can be content with what you have and still change small things that do not cost much. I love classic, simple design with a slight modern & antique flare! ❤ Valentina is fun and has some beautiful ideas 😊 Blessings to all 🙏

[@giorfi-n7v]

yes, in my 50s also and am finding my materialistic urges are not what they used to be, although I still do really appreciate good style and nice things.

[@giorfi-n7v]

Great video! I am always puzzled when people say hold on to it, it will be back in style one day. Trends may come back but are always progressed and you can almost always tell the difference. Your point about niche styles vs mainstream is a good one too.

[@nancyfriend4156]

My home is all taupes and putty colours. So soothing, and easy to accent each season.

[@amberlamoine1]

Valentina, I loved this video! I completely agree-I typically don’t follow trends because I have a very specific taste that blends several styles. I’ve been an antique collector for years, and I focus on a curated look that’s not kitschy or cluttered. For those who embraced the modern farmhouse trend and now feel like it’s ‘going out,’ perhaps you could do a video on how to update this style without having to redo or buy everything new. We all know the first step is usually removing signs and overly kitschy decor, but what about people who still love shiplap (I personally do) but don’t want it to lean too heavily into the farmhouse look? Just a thought for a future video idea! Love your channel and all the inspiration you share!

[@dawnjohnson8823]

I've been a Jewelry store Manager for 32 years and selling Jewelry for 42yrs. White golds and Silvers and Platinum make up about 90% of Sales. The last few years we have been selling more yellow golds and rose golds. I love it all! I love using metals in my home and I incorporate it with your style ideas. I love your style and look forward to all your videos and great ideas and your incredible passion in everything you do! Your the best!

[@iceprincessone7168]

I have been displaying for the first time in years, my old silver (cookies - and cigar boxes, little trays and even vases) from 1960 Georg Jensen (made in Denmark - not the USA version). Straight lines, no ornaments or frills on them. Everybody loves it and I love to have it back on display in my house. Gorgeous pieces. My grandmother gave me her wedding gift Georg Jensen Pyramid silver flatware made in the1920 and it has always been "modern". She did use it all her life and so have I since she gave it to me.

[@shelbycolliver2007]

I would love an old money video! Most of my house is done in an equestrian vibe but its so hard to find ideas/decor that isn't farmhouse. I'd love for it to have a modern polo vibe ( if that even makes any sense lol)

[@Ann-wf1ij]

I’ve always been a taupe and beige person. Even when grey was the trend. I find it warm.

[@firestick4991]

I prefer warm grays

[@colleenbuechler6080]

I am 100% loving the silver toned accents/home things! I took a leap with this in our house reno we started in January and it's just perfect. It works with all home styles.

[@mjrh45]

Years ago, I painted my small library in a burgundy-type color. I was told not to do it because the room was small. I kept the ceiling white and the color was gorgeous. Do what you love, not what other people think will work.

[@heidifoss532]

I’m a gold girl! I’ve tried silver but it’s just not me!

[@Scapegoated_Soulmate]

Ikr?! And I cannot help it and don’t care but I’m a black and white and off white gold girl!! I do like some bronzes also I just can’t get on the silver train for some reason!!! I’m only 15:26 into the video but everything in this feels super cold to me :/

[@lblak59]

No to burgundy furniture. In 1999 I invested in a very expensive leather burgundy sectional thinking that I was in my forever home. We moved several times afterwards and I could never get that sectional to work in any design after moving. So keep those colors off your furniture stay neutral. I’ve learned the hard way.

[@sarahjensen8095]

In general, regardless of the color, I find sectionals difficult to work with. I’d rather have two sofas. They are so much more versatile especially for holidays when you may need to rearrange furniture.

[@lblak59]

@ depends….it was purchased for a media entertainment room. Not for the great room where everyone sees it. So I wouldn’t do a sectional again. Specially with these open floor plans that the builders built today.

[@melissa-wz6uj]

Agree 🙌🙌🙌 use color in beautiful fun pillows if you love a trendy color!

[@feliciahutchins4237]

My very predicament right NOW 😮. That leather crab couch just want mess up and it is too comfortable. Plus I broke now spent $20,000 at RH. Can’t justify the living room. 😢😢😢😂😂😂

[@НатальяПолитова-у9м]

I love modern homes and I love the contrast between black and white. That's why I like your style and why your home made me so inspired. I'm seeing all the trends mentioned and I don't think all of these will stay. I can't see myself buying burgundy furniture or accessories for my home. I like taupe, but I've been traumatized by growing up in a beige house so I strongly oppose beige walls. I'll take stark white walls and accessories over beige any day.

[@bonniebelle7821]

My favorite metal has always been polished nickel. It’s the perfect combination of silver but with rich warm undertones. So much better than chrome, etc. No matter the trends with brass or black fixtures I never swayed from my polished nickel. Of course it’s the most expensive option always but to me it’s so classy and goes with warm or cool tones.

[@bruninhamrso]

Burgundy trend will make ppl spend money doing it and spend money undoing it. What a scam

[@avrilcasper1618]

I agree with you Valentina, burgundy is better in fashion not so much in interior design.

[@firestick4991]

Beyond “Modern,” I crave… Timeless.

[@samiageldner3451]

I love silver - always have. I have never moved away from it. I am glad it is coming back as it has been difficult to find items I have wanted in silver for a while. I have lots of silver trays, silverware, teapot sets etc. - some contemporary and some heirlooms. In my family those have always been given to me since I have been the only one who has appreciated these items. I guess I might get some competition now.😀

[@meowmix60]

I would love an Old Money Modern video.

[@kimgirl702]

Yes! Me, too!

[@rosieroberts6738]

SILVER….has ALWAYS been my FAVORITE!!!🤍🤍🤍🤍 I NEVER decorated with GOLD & BRASS, when it was TRENDY. I still stuck with my SILVER!!!! It’s CLASSY & POLISHED!!! I LOVE…BURGUNDY!!! It’s a CLASSY color!!! I LOVE….TAUPE, rather than Beige. YES….MODERN is my preference!!!😊 Thank you for sharing!!!🤍🤍🤍

[@terrihagen5088]

Absolutely great video. I loved the way you presented this.

[@RanissaScott]

Love your channel, Valentina! Your extra effort in holding your coffee mug and saucer without anything in it is hilarious! Love you!🎉❤😂

[@HouseofValentina]

Thank you so much!! 🥰

[@bethdixon501]

More importantly is where can I find a link to the gorgeous cup & saucer, please 🥳🎄☃️👑💎

[@SilvanaJones]

I've always loved the modern luxury look!!

[@jenniferlawrence6588]

One of your best videos! Loved all the pictures and ideas.

[@HouseofValentina]

Yay! Thank you!

[@firestick4991]

Yes. Modern Old Money video!

[@ChristieZachary]

Modern and fresh has always been my favorite so this is all good news!

[@sharronboxenbaum7392]

Totally agree- I want a modern decor in my home. I want to shake off the cobwebs of old and make it fresh. I think a common misconception is modern equals cold, and after doing a lot of research before redecorating, I feel my home is warm and inviting, with a lean toward organic and natural materials with a modern vibe.

[@Lets_see_how_this_plays_out]

I appreciate all the pictures you added in this video, I found them very helpful. Thank you!

[@cherylkavanagh3387]

I have always used silver tones (among other metal tones). It has never been a "trend" for me. My crystal is used on a daily basis and my favorite fabric has always been velvet, and burgundy (wine, merlot) has always been a favorite color. I wear that color rather than decorate with it, however. For winter, maybe a burgundy throw pillow. My decorating style is more transitional. For me, I do not believe that any room should scream "modern", "contemporary", "farmhouse", "country French", etc. This is just my opinion. I do believe that a room should reflect what you love. It should be inviting and make you want to be in it, no matter what style it is.

[@AnaTorres-qc7bv]

Would love a video on design style in a bar area-it would be nice to have great design and decor for entertaining. Also our kitchen in the coming year will be remodeled so looking forward to your kitchen ideas .

[@lucillebiondi365]

I am so looking forward to your redo of your kitchen and painting the living room!

[@Asphodel27one]

I wear silver jewelry and have been collecting midcentury Jetson-like silver bowls and vases. Glad the trend came around to me!

[@diana6842]

I like the lamp and lampshade to your right in your intro on this video. I've been lamp shopping and not having good luck.

[@roxanneforsberg1877]

P.s. I adore you and your beautiful family! Merry Christmas from our home to yours! Love from Edmonton Alberta Canada!

[@HouseofValentina]

Thank you so much!! We appreciate you!

[@margaretwoolley7335]

You are so right. I am an older person who purchased a bungalow a year back. I was amazed to find many of it's features which I would have loved to have at one time now seemed dated and old-fashioned. Gradually I'm dragging it into the 21st century.😀

[@yogamitwendy7086]

I love the ( black) lamp .❤

[@suzanpatterson150]

Love all the silver! Also, the comfy, cozy anything! Thanks for your discerning eye!

[@versailleaaron3475]

Absolutely it is the Mayfair /claridges hotel look

[@HappyHarryX5]

Does the garage feel cold because it’s not a place that has greenery in it to soften it? I’ve seen organised garages with sensational storage but not decorated. I’d love to see you do something unique to make it V approved.

[@wendymarrero9010]

Interesting, extremely informative

[@kathleenjost1624]

I love burgundy in fashion. I just can't see it in my home, even a dark burgundy brown, which I like. It's interesting. I couldn't stand the taupe color popular in the 90's. It had too much pink? tone. However, I love the taupe tone that is popular now! I also love off-white (w/o yellow tone). I'm fine w/silver in fashion but not crazy about Chrome, etc. in the home. I love Nickel, though, probably because it feels warmer to me! Thanks, Valentina, very interesting video! Happy Holidays, All!

[@nasevedodge]

Sorry I will never re paint my beautiful simply white BM canvas walls Love it so much definitely not changing to beige walls The white walls and with warm walnut floors brings richness you need so your as decor and art showcase so beautiful! Our home is definitely old soul with allot class ya old money we worked hard for and proud…..people please live your true self Face it ITS trends that just hits the pocket book Stop following them Just saying 🤷🏾‍♀️🇨🇦

[@boysrus2]

I know what colors make me happy and burgundy is not one of them. I’ve always liked silver.

[@sandrad801]

Yes, modern, fresh and new is it for me.

[@tls0501]

This time next year burgundy will be out . I don’t follow trends. I like to keep my money in my pocket and not spending it to keep up with trends.

[@lucillebiondi365]

I am so looking forward to your redo of the kitchen and painting your living room walls. I absolutely love your house as it is now, but am excited to see how you warm it up. If your son’s room is any indication we are going to love it (and I will probably want to copy it)😂!

[@SarahKotri]

Interesting trend predictions. I was thinking transitional was making a comeback with lots of people adding moulding and English home details. I know I’m craving cottage kitchens with some colour and curves like Jean Stoffer is designing or Studio McGee. I do love modern design too but am over the black/white/ blond floors in every home. It suits some homes but not every home or location. Maybe that’s what I hope to see then- good design that suits their locations better. We don’t all live in California or Manhattan, shouldn’t our homes reflect where we do live?

[@barbarahuff117]

Love this talk. Thanks

[@eileenalbanese5362]

No to burgundy for home, but great for fashion. Still love white/cream walls. My hardwood floors are ebony, which I still love. Thanks for your input Valentina, you are spot on, as always❤❤❤

[@carolyngrotaers4454]

Personally, l don't believe modern glam never went out of style. Just be careful on the accessories that you buy, your home will not look tacky then.

[@bevl7989]

Thanks for sharing 🙏

[@yvonneadrian734]

For me silver is not a trend. Silver tones are what I always love and never deviate from even if out of style.

[@monicamalone6445]

Agree! Valentina, you inspired me to focus in and style vs. simply “decorate” our bedroom with necessary furnishings. Always perfectly nice, but not inspiring. (You know, ‘cause the “good art” always goes where others can see it. 😂) It’s been the last room decorated in every home since my fabulous teenage 80s bedroom … pink and purple mural and a conversation “pit” with shag carpeting and fur pillows! Sweet!) Just picked a beautiful Arhaus nightstand: open form, ebonized wood, open on the bottom for my new H&M (your find) background tall vase (in white) and a small modern metal sculptural bowl. The clean lines of the traditional wood piece work so well with a modern sculptural vase and pieces of art, as they are quite happy being the stage. Also paired with some gorgeous tall metal lamps from Crate and Barrel. Funny. Moved one table and in the shuffle ended up with 5 new tables (three are in the living room), 1 large piece of art, 3 fluffy blankets, 4 new pillows, two lamps, and (so far 😉) two new bowls. It was very nice before, but happy for the update! Thanks for your enthusiasm, both for design and for living each day beautifully! Merry Christmas, Valentina and Jack! Best wish to you and your family in the New Year!

[@nnanette]

The best part of my day!

[@roxanneforsberg1877]

I was a country girl and still am at heart in some ways. I've always been known for my extremely cozy homes. People talk about not being able to figure out what makes them so cozy. Young and old talk about it. I've left farmhouse/country behind forever. My home is much more modern now. BUT I still have a few pieces of cherry wood in my home. Yup! I even have a cherry wood china cabinet. Lol! I'm sure you are cringing 😅. But i have been considering painting out my fireplace, wall mirror, China cabinet and end tables in black or dark brown. Is that crazy?

[@kathleenjost1624]

Guests often that my home is cozy and seems so me and enjoy the ambiance. My home is not core anything. I have subtly combined several syles. Do what you love. That's what we are best at anyway. 😊

[@HeatherHarmon-r8i]

I love your channel,

[@kimgirl702]

Great video! I love these trends. Also, I'm not mad about winning the Modern Farmhouse debate my husband and I had, when I told him it was NOT timeless, and that it's on its way out. 😅

[@BB-re8mw]

traditional...no dark red cherry or queen anne cabriolet legs! Add 1 or 2 pieces to a modern glam room maybe...but in a regency style and in mahogany...maybe some marquettry work

[@RandyBailey-k2e]

Love Love Love Modern Glam !!!😊❤

[@user-ck3fc4ev3d]

Great video. Thank you.

[@BB-re8mw]

❤ burgandy ( in a deep tone esp with choc brown taupe and beige like you suggested) omg done with clean lines and velvety textures in home accents...a set of chairs....a headboard...not all over the LR BR KITCH or DR walls...this is not a brothel look we're going for here folks 😂 A powder room, yes.

[@Homefoodfashion411]

I’d love to see links for items you pick! I’d love an interesting color silver? For a dining table 😊

[@aliciasward6693]

Yes. Let's do a modern old money video. I love the idea

[@tonyaall73]

No burgundy in my home, but love me a nice burgundy top or purse if it's the right shade. Yes to taupe and greige, no to beige! I painted my bedroom a beautiful taupe beige this summer and bought taupe curtains with a taupe headboard. I use a lot of chocolates in there too. I have all dark colored furniture also so it's decadent. And no more modern country. I'm trying to talk my husband into having our new white cabinets painted black..😅

[@BB-re8mw]

❤ modern luxurious design...on my budget that means inexpensive cloud dup with performance velvet, which wears like iron btw. I make the pillow covers a silk/ velvet/ leather fora better hand.

[@HappyHarryX5]

A hell no to burgundy. It’s dated my home since before I moved in. I love the black and white in your home, it feels ethereal to me. I loved the black wall side of the stairs. I’m not far enough removed from having yellowy cream walls for a lot of my life to fully appreciate beige walls but love that you try new things that makes your heart sing. Wouldn’t it be great if mercury glass effect was used in furniture?

[@-nellie-m3711]

Burgundy furniture, Absolutely Nooooooo, our very first couch when we got married back in 1978 and we built our first home was a Burgundy leather couch and You can shove that where the sun don’t shine Lol 😂, I have a burgundy floral pretty dress I bought last season and never wore it, I think on some the colour suits them but as for interior design, it’s a big no for me, I love my home the way it is with the touches of black here and there, plus when you get to our age, it’s not something we want to be doing, we renovated during the pandemic and we’re not redoing it just because of trends changing, but it’s always interesting to see what’s coming. Thank you Valentina for sharing your experience and knowledge throughout the year, your home is Beautiful and some of my inspiration has come from You. Merry Christmas to you all from Queensland Australia ❤️❤️🐶🧑🏻‍🎄🎅🏻🎄

[@lblak59]

My neutrals is taupe (some lean beige), cream & browns. I’ve been loving the warmth. In our latest new build I wanted to rehome the orangey oak dining set. Even though I still loved the style. I sold it and bought a set with the trestle table. I like the look but the quality is so low compared to the older 20 yr old collection I had. We paid so much for the new furniture but it’s disappointing, I feel it may not stand the test of time.

[@HappyHarryX5]

I had a lot of 20-25yr old orangey pine furniture that I’ve painted black and dark charcoal. It’s given it a new life. They are all too well built and functional to get rid of. I bleached my stained orange wood buffet/dresser and put a light wash over it to dull the purple grain and yellow wood colours. It looks terrific with the carved corbels and sunflower on it. They were a lot of fun to do. I replaced all the wooden knobs with modern black long handles.

[@lblak59]

@@HappyHarryX5 sounds beautiful. I did get my hubs to restrain the top and it was gorgeous, he wouldn’t do the table legs and chairs so I said fine, you’re buying me new set then. He did.

[@GIB_H]

Silver has always been in style in my very very humble opinion 😅. Burgundy is a beautiful color and that throw blanket can match well with darker furniture and moodier spaces. The picture shown placed a burgundy throw against a white/cream sofa which would not work collectively.

[@sandrad801]

I love the silver, for me it’s not a trend. Everything in my home has either a black finish, or brushed nickel. My home decor pieces are silver. I don’t like the gold, or bronze finishes. Even all my jewelry is silver, white gold or platinum.

[@bcgirl9369]

However a few years ago I bought a brown leather couch that looks burgundy so I keep it covered with a black velvet cover. 😮

[@sandiweishaupt8483]

Definitely no to the burgundy. Didn’t do it the first time either. Don’t mind it in some clothing.

[@LouiseLouise-eo9ot]

Wood furniture can be refinished, sanded and re-stained or painted.

[@dianedionisio1250]

I love silver and gold! I have to mix warm and cool to complete a space. Im decorating my modern leaning house with warm wood cabinets mixing greys, browns, marble and pale ocean blue. Everyone says chrome is cheap looking hardware and to used polished nickel in the cabinets. But I’m afraid the polished nickel won’t balance out the warmth the way chrome will. Do you like chrome in warm color palettes??

[@danaturnbull3405]

Excellent video! I love it all but I'm definitely not into anything with yellow tones either! Maple almost has a slight yellow under tone do you think so also? What is the jazzy sort of hip hop track you sampled here? Love it!

[@heidiesterholm2938]

Old money, yes, need more.

[@laurieshaw4918]

No to yellow tones!

[@exeterline1930]

I'm kind of getting tired of white/off white/beige with black/brown/charcoal/mushroom look. Everything looks like a black & white photo or a sepia print. I'd like to see something that excites me again. I saw a milky olive color pitcher in one photo that was different. I'm just thirsting for something interesting.

[@BB-re8mw]

hmmmm....cherrywood...with that realy reddish tined stain c. 1985 NO! On a modern piece with clean lines and a very neutral stain in a darknir med tone might be nice...the refined grain goes well with the clean lines we are looking for now.

[@RandyBailey-k2e]

AKA Kenneth Bailey Well You don't just Trend, You are Unique and better than Classic!!!😊

[@carrie459]

All that grey and silver looks so 2000...ugh... I just can’t. My home is Greige, wood, white, black with plant accents and I love it. I love your son’s room...just not for a 20 year old boy. It has no personality. But you do you, love your style but wish you would do more things from your travels and less mass produced items. Just my opinion.

[@motherteresa3413]

I'm forcing myself to choose modern up to date styles. Everything looks good but I'm so traditional. I'm not sure how to blend what is current with what I love. Help?

[@HR-re6mr]

Like deep merlot, brown burgundy in clothing not in home interiors. All colors don’t translate for me. Also colors on big items run the risk of getting bored and then you spend to redo it. But just my opinion.. love chocolate brown and have had my sofa long enough for it to come back “in style” several times..Laughing out loud

[@ednagurley8256]

Another video on old money modern style

[@user-es9mb8wi3m]

Glam is Fab. I love a more formal style, just not stuffy. Well made furniture will improve/be more available. Right now, find a great thrift store and find all the mahogany, silver, crystal that dumb, grown children rejected in favor of the cheap stuff.

[@alicenieto3162]

Can’t stand anything red or burgundy or any hit of it. I must have had a childhood trauma becauseI’ve literally hated those colors since I have memories.

[@jeanniepickard6366]
