      I love my light grey walls and dark grey wood floors. I don’t think that’s too much. Do you? My furniture is not grey. I love it and it’s a luxury apartment so the designers knew what they’re doing. Even if something is too much maybe that person loves it. Look at Paris Hilton, she is over the moon with pink.She doesn’t care what people say and she’s happy. I thought he was a bit insensitive laughing. It was immature.

    I’ve never liked the colour grey and I found myself in the exact situation of moving into a new build condo that totally embraced the grey trend. You really did a great job in making over this room; it feels so bright even though the colours you chose are subdued. It really feels cozy, but fresh. My favourite element are those swivel chairs!

  • @kristywhited8857
    @kristywhited8857 6 місяців тому

    My taste is not modern, but I do think this is a beautiful room. I made the decision a couple of years ago (when gray was "untrending" and the new warmer colors were emerging) to use both gray and beige with some soft white together in my home. I'm a fan of neutrals, so I'm still happy with that decision and I hope it will last a while before I grow bored. My area rugs have a few other colors in them that I can pull out for accessories. I'm no designer, but I love this direction I chose to take.

That was one of my fav Spaces & large living room. Used Peach accessories as well.

    Love it, Arvin. Missed you too. I have used a rug over carpet many times. I use them like I would any accessory. Living in a cold climate, it is not comfortable to have all my rooms with hardwood. The carpeting acts like insulation which helps keep the inside room temps. warmer. Area rugs visually define some of my areas while giving me the ability to add color and texture. Sometimes, they can make sense. Again, beautiful job.

I like everything Arvin puts inside this odd shape small living room( like mine)- love the color combination, the shape, & the arrangement. It’s not over the top like other interior designers do - too expensive and trendy, or incorporating too many hacks from Walmart or Target, etc. Overall, I like what I saw and this is the first review I had ever written about any interior design videos.
