I came for interior design insight, I stayed for the aggressive but passionate opinions.

🤓 👍

[@eileenworth7862]

I love when someone is honest enough to say the Emperor has no clothes, style, taste, and bucks the trends!

[@joycenelson2101]

Ditto

[@joycenelson2101]

I remember the original mid-century decorating everywhere in my much older sister's house. Hated it then. Hate it now.

[@GetOfflineGetGood]

If you're not artistically inclined and there's a university in your area with an art department, you can also get student art a lot cheaper than most galleries, and it's still really good professional quality. And you'll be supporting a new artist in their career.

[@wasselpa]

love this

[@CannedTunas]

Good idea

[@Bamboo4U2]

Great idea.

[@twoweirdoswithkiddos7970]

Never thought of this! Great idea!

[@yuliareingold]

As an art student I second this

[@TheSpiralLab]

You will never find an actual farmhouse with a barn door. Barn doors are for ... barns.

[@cherylconibear8620]

Just like how people paint a "vintage" item, then chip and remove paint to achieve "shabby chic." But people had, you know, pride in the old days. They would not have been caught dead letting company see a trashy armoire or anything they owned!

[@mysticfox1563]

Cheryl Conibear, also anything actually old would have led in the paint so it’s dangerous to have it be chippy.

[@yugioosuna01]

I really appreciate your no bs approach! I love your videos

[@nancybailey4794]

Those round tufted pillows are vintage! My great aunt made them for me when I was a kid in the 1950's. I love your videos, BTW and I especially love how grumpy you get. Cracks me up.

[@rmonson5002]

Yup, my grandma had those round pleated pillows with the button in the middle in turquoise velvet back in the day. I bought a vintage red one out of sentimentality. But now they are making cheap knock offs at HomeGoods and if you have had the vintage ones you can really tell the difference. They don't have the weight and heft of the originals. And the fabric is super cheap and flimsy. But reproductions are never as good as the real deal. IMHO.

[@nancybailey4794]

@@rmonson5002 I don't live in the US any longer so I don't go to any of the stores Paige talks about. I would just cry if I saw the cheap knock-offs of these pillows. My great Aunt Dorothy (a former flapper) spent hours making them of us. How I would love to just have saved one of them.

[@rmonson5002]

​@@nancybailey4794 Oh, wow. That is such a great story! Where did your great Aunt live? I know how you feel. I wish I had my grandma's turquoise ones. There are so many family things I think back on and wonder what happened to them and wish I still had them. Although my mom did keep a lot of family heirlooms. And yes, the knock off pillows would make you sad. They are super flimsy and cheap looking in my NOT so humble opinion! They look like macarons! Ha!

[@nancybailey4794]

@@rmonson5002, I had two very eccentric great aunts that lived in Southern CA, Santa Monica, and Malibu. They were amazing women for that generation. I grew in Northern CA but have lived in Guatemala for 29 years. After one of Paige's videos about not buying trendy stuff, I looked around my house and realized everything I own is directly from artists, weavers, and craftspeople. I really enjoy Paige, so refreshing. And I love her snarky style!

[@rmonson5002]

@@nancybailey4794 Really?! That is wild, my grandfather managed a dance hall on the border of Venice & Ocean Park in the 1920's. Something tells me that possibly your great Aunts and my grandparents crossed paths back in the day! Six degrees of separation holds true. My mom grew up in Santa Monica and my cousins still live in Los Angeles.

[@Kayla_P99]

Thank you for introducing your dog, absolutely key

[@MissGretch14]

Instead of faux vines - real plants. Instead of foam everything - literally anything but that.

[@jam6636]

it would be nice if you make videos showing us good interior designs for different styles like this is good modern design or italian renaissance...

[@cvonsutphen]

*Paige* , I appreciate your videos so much. I love your No Nonsense Approach to design.

[@annmorey]

i would Love a video of design tips for small spaces! my boyfriend and i are moving in with his dad soon and want to create a small living space in our bedroom away from his family while also having it be a cozy, comforting vibe. any tips would be very welcomed!

[@sophietulloch5790]

It is so refreshing how honest you are!! I am so frustrated by constantly seeing content creators avoid saying what they actually think because they are so terrified of offending someone. It’s so nice to hear honest opinions! Plus your suggestions are really helpful!

[@xdpsych6129]

I did the half walls instead of the arch. As you mentioned, the arch feels “too trendy”. I only painted the walls surrounding my bed (small room in Chicago as well). Then, on a wall that wasn’t painted I painted the closet doors to match the half walls (the whole closet door, not half). It looks great, really completed the look. I also love painted doors... hopefully Pinterest and TikTok don’t ruin that for me.

[@deborahhuffman3231]

I love the fact that you are straight forward and to the point. It's great to see a young designer that's mature with great design advice. Really like your videos.

[@jespickles]

Omg your vids are exactly what I’ve been needing in my life!! You are such a breath of fresh air in the designer KZbin space. Thanks for bringing an authentic and unique style and perspective - love it!

[@amjadbashir4969]

I honestly don't think you're cruel or mean... I totally think you're funny with a strong personality! 💪 Plus, a lovely taste 💅🏻

[@Claidissa]

Also if you want vines in your room buy a Pothos! They look so much classier than the fake ones and they grow like crazy

[@katt6894]

I kept thinking that you reminded me of someone and then I figured out who it was...a combination of Kristen Stewart and Drew Barrymore, both beautiful women.

[@lunasteyaert2621]

omg yes!!!!

[@imafake2807]

since you said it, i do see drew

[@erican6433]

Yes! Also Noémie Merlant

[@loolooleah]

And a little bit of Kendall Jenner

[@girlygal098]

Oh, I see it now, too!

[@gkriebz]

It's funny because my design trend pet peeve are rando sconces with exposed cords. It just looks unfinished to me. If you don't have a conveniently hidden outlet like yours, then I think you're better off with a normal table lamp.

[@kmart1396]

In short, interior design shouldn't be based on trends cuz insides of houses will be as cookie cutter as outsides of houses. Figure out what sort of timeless jumping off point you want to work from & then dial up the levels of eclectic, whimsy, and so on until you get to what you like. Like I'm almost 25, still living at home and I have several colored fairy lights around my room, one cuz my eyes like dimmer lighting and two I'm still a child at heart. Does it look particularly good? Eeh meh. Does it make me happy? Yes! I know if I can ever afford to buy a house, its going to be just as dumb & quirky looking. _Its about finding comfort and gaining joy from how you've personalized your space_ . Just try not to do obnoxious projects that make it hard for the next person(s) to redesign/renovate after, if you are to move out.

[@Luuve]

"wherever these little things are sold" I LOOOOVE IT! LOL

[@JudithMPerez-mk8gf]

Hi! I recently move out from my parents home and started to live on my own, I like your videos a lot because it helps me to find alternatives and to think twice before I fall on some trends that are not going to age well, so, thank you! Thanks also for being very straight forward, I really appreciate it!

[@miasemidey]

YES an interior design roast would be hilarious hahaha

[@HunnersDesigns]

Art that doesn’t tell you to drink your coffee 😂😂😂💕💕 love it.

[@sickasfck9989]

Your video’s literally saved my room from looking like pastel TikTok throwup! Thank you!

[@vallejobuilds2188]

Death to LED and barn doors! Ha great video

[@marthadingleberry6426]

You should review home makeovers by "interior design/ Diy" youtubers such as The sorry girls, mrkate etc. Or would that stir the pot too much? I really like your videos!! You're the next big think on interior design KZbin!!

[@thishousedoesnotexist5944]

girl u want war hahahah but im here for it

[@warribe]

Uuuh alexandra gater! I kinda hate her designs, but i like to watch to keep hating kkkkkkk

[@wasselpa]

something coming soon about the world of interior design KZbin ;)

[@naylak5718]

Do "inspire me home". I hate watch her on Instagram

[@JoRiver11]

I really like your simple covered headboard (I thought that I didn't like fabric headboards because I don't like the buttons) and the curtains for the closet doors work really well. Oh, I like the painted half walls, too.

[@Bamboo4U2]

I would have THOROUGHLY cleaned that headboard before reupholstering it. You have no idea what was going on with that thing before acquiring it off of Facebook marketplace, lol.

[@saraisreading4231]

I must say, I have one of those round pillows from Target on my bed, and it's comfy as hell. I feel like the little dip in the middle is perfectly head-shaped, and then the pillow doesn't get all out of shape from me squishing it around trying to get comfy. I just found your channel recently, I really enjoy your videos!

[@saraisreading4231]

@Helena Exactly, I just bought it because I thought the color was pretty, but it's surprisingly functional!

[@drsu5638]

I feel like the two toned walls were very popular when I was a kid in the late 90s/early 2000s (especially separated by molding), I'm really surprised to see that suggested.

[@mysticfox1563]

My bedroom had this. Why put a chair rail in a bedroom? Some things should stay in the 90’s.

[@r4nd0med1ts9]

I respect that you have a strong opinion right to the point.always fun of creating and opposed to re-doing/copying

[@dianadriverasbury9130]

I don't do pillows, just junk up things. Always having to move them to make a space functional. Despise shiplap but I guess it's that white color I don't like. Your idea is good.

[@nickisavage4348]

I'm not a big fan of the round pillows either but they are found in mid century décor so for the mid mod fans out there it is something that is on point for that era.

[@hessaalsalem42]

Yessssss! I’ve been waiting for this, love your style so much♥️

[@wrightabbey]

Paige, I am living and dying for your interior opinions. Just moved and binging your youtube so I can decorate my apartment with all of your advice lol

[@stripedballetflats]

Love the spilt line paint look! Never thought of doing that.

[@lauraleffel6315]

I’m obsessed would love to see more of your design ideas

[@twoweirdoswithkiddos7970]

I made my daughter's headboard. I got a piece of plywood and 2 - 2x4s, some batting material and fabric from Joann's. I had some spray paint on hand and used that for the 2x4s. We've changed out the fabric 3 times as she's grown older. Fairy garden, black and white damask, and now a white velvety material with gold stars. I'm sure she will have this headboard for years to come until she gets a bigger bed. She loves being able to change out the fabric with her moods. LOL.

[@jeanjohnson9866]

I have a barn door going into my bathroom. I love it because my son made it for me.😚

[@yugioosuna01]

Environmentally conscious!! Love it 😍

[@morgteaches474]

lol you're a better person than me. i woulda stood ten toes deep in the "fuck the live laugh love signs" and left it there

[@jodeanerhoades2645]

Thank you Paige, I agree with you! Your dog is so cute 🥰

[@christined2495]

I love all your suggestions and decorating style, plus I just love your spunk and honesty Have you ever done a tour of your home, would love to see it

[@persephona668]

The LED's are not for a muted kinda cozy lighting experience, but it's just cool because they change color. I feel like it'd be great, if you had ideas for dorm rooms that are more youthful than a sconce made of twigs.

[@Joni-mc7lu]

Yes! Would love more videos on design suggestions/ likes 😍 you have such a good eye

[@ahumanaperson]

I’m so glad I’ve found someone who despises barn doors as much as me 🥰

[@sinjaja5836]

Makes totally sense. I like the sleek barn doors!

[@carolineharnish5633]

I always find excellent frames at the thrift store!

[@shaziejones5394]

I love the white ship lap! I live in Queensland, Australia and the old 'queenslander' homes with those walls (we call them vj walls) are the best! So grand and country I love them so much

[@75Shelli]

I've definitely find my decor Channel! Girl, you speak my language! Loveeeee your tips and taste!!! 🥰 🥰

[@felipebizarre]

Amazing advice, just loved the amazing guidance for interior trends, Imma search videos of yours doing masculine bedrooms bc I'm currently changing things tho

I liked your previous videos as well as this one. They were informative and opinions and suggestions only. Thanks for providing alternatives.

[@hlee4012]

Love all of your suggestions!🙌

[@arbelacapas885]

Omg. The headboard and curtain ideas... My mind is blown!!!

[@hannahbyrd4926]

Cannot get enough of your content!!

[@jennipratt1387]

I love your suggestions. Your idea of stapling fabric on to the back of a head board. Light bulb moment for me. I don’t do DIY well so I love that idea. Next one of these do your replacement ideas for pampas grass, please!

[@lorainequesnel2053]

Great alternatives! Love all your content. Sending good vibes all the way from Trinidad W. I.

OMYGOD THANK YOU FOR THE VIDEO. This is exactly what I was thinking. Thank you

[@jam6636]

I really like you videos and find them very informative!

[@annettethomas2770]

You're so right on all of this. Sick of farmhouse and boho rooms that all look alike.

[@ElianaLuck]

I actually am going to do the exact same idea you did with your headboard. I order a couple of weeks ago an headboard on sale and am going to staple textured fabric as well. Your's turned out great! So it makes me more confident that mine DIY will turn out ok

[@wasselpa]

YESSS!

[@polgara28]

Great alternative ideas! Love this channel!

[@traceysimmons4913]

Great idea with pendent lights!

[@BranMuffin365]

Love these suggestions!

[@ArtCorvid]

Lol. Is it bad that i kind of like that painted arch?😄 But i feel like it looks eather nice or completely horrendous (like over the door), never in between... but it DOES look cute sometimes tho ;-; ngl

[@kaitlincrane_]

I think that’s the nice part about having your own space! If you like it, you go for it! It’s your space and you live in it, it should be something you enjoy and filled with things that make YOU happy :)

[@itsGabrielaCristina]

I think it’s cute in the right kind of space and style. It’s trendy but it’s such an easy fix that I don’t see it as a big deal if the person likes it!

[@JoRiver11]

I have seen a couple of nice ones online. They both happened to be over beds, and were fairly subtly coloured.

[@dhruvik1711]

It looks nice behind a bed like a head board. I think

[@kaiserkaish]

I like it when it gives the illusion of a headboard if you don’t have one, I hate it if you already have one.

[@aclementine9928]

Can't wait for the next one!

[@martynhyde6994]

A breath of fresh air !!

[@imafake2807]

[@Vndrxv]

i would love paint ideas that i can do. i really like the arch ideas or an accent walls but i dont know how to make it more unique other than a tiktok trend.

The mid century dark wood shiplap makes it look like a cabin in my opinion... it’s kind if worse than white

Liked whilst watching the ad before the video ❤️

I really liked this format! Could even be combined with the hate one XD Just hard disagree on the shelf above the bed, my anxiety can’t handle the possibility of something falling on top of my head.

I actually used to make signs as a side biz and I am so over reading constantly in someone’s home....I said to my husband ....back in the day people didn’t have signs for everything in their homes...I know where my Q-tips and cotton balls are....it just got so crazy....with all the labeling and quotes! I have very few and they make me happy otherwise I’m over it...lol thank you for sharing 😊kim

People love someone who is confident. This girl has it so much I followed her for the attitude. We need to help promote women who are confident and sure of themselves. We need more girls who have this strong attitude, especially if politics! (I’m still a little Prudie on the language for the title, but I like her attitude so much I’m ignoring the language--because she’s awesome.) She is really sure of what she is saying and I am so here for it. #GRLPower

[@megjillm]

The only time I support the super obvious word signs are when you have young kids who are still working on sight words. In that case, have all the words. However, once they’ve mastered reading, out they go.

You should review Daveed Diggs and Emmy Raver's home tour on AD! Or just watch it because it's great.

I make art with mainly chairs on it and it made me so happy to hear that someone else also loves chair art! :'-)

[@Pointedtoeprada]

Arvin Olano here on KZbin suggested a arched mirror rather than the painted arch and I like that a lot! I was going to paint an arch and then place an ornate mirror in the center but the idea of painted the border of an arched mirror is wet

[@andreabradley5837]

My house had shiplap when I bought it 14 years ago. I painted two rooms white immediately which visually doubled the space. My furnishings are mostly modern and or weird. Could use a little more space.

[@zoebuchholz3645]

Please do more of these!!!

[@gabriellenichole3445]

Personally diamonds and mirrors on anything is wayyy more offensive than an orange arch or a barn door...

or all white marble... like, marble floor, marble fireplace, marble coffee table and side tables. 🤮

Tip. Buy down feather pillows at goodwill, salvation army, yard sales. Remove cover. Wash insert. Buy new cover from etsy. Down is super expensive now.

[@louisesuffolk]

Love your videos

[@liddybird3608]

Oh god. I have been living with barn doors in my apartment (that were here when I moved in), and I hate hate hate them. There take up too much wall space and do not block sound or light at all. They do not add any privacy. Thank you for including these abominations in your list.

[@clemdane]

Interesting, I just found round pillows on Etsy the other day and hadn't considered before. I didn't know they were big at Target. I have many different types of pillows in many textures and shapes.

[@britt_2617]

I love these videos

[@vitalyaloves]

you keep talking about "more modern versions" of things, but why not more classic versions of things? isn't the best way to avoid falling into tacky trends by going classic, not modern?

[@aisling8308]

Those round cushions can look great in certain interior styles but I agree that they will look dated in most homes pretty soon

[@laurenwhite4470]

good alternatives and loving your videos!! also loved your floating side tables, where from?
