There is too much push to get people to replace everything every few years if not sooner. One video actually suggested that pine furniture, oak furniture, maple, and some other nice wood items were to be gotten rid of as they were 'dated'. I sit here at my 1960s oak desk to say it's never going anywhere. Nor is my maple china hutch, nor my other vintage solid wood pieces. If anything, I might buy more. My idea of redecorating is maybe a change of curtains, sofa pillows, bedspread and a little paint. The big stuff I have had for a long time and plan to keep it. Trends not withstanding.
I like your approach here. Especially if those furnishings are solid hardwood.
Thank you so much, really good advice for someone who doesn't know how to decorate!
Great idea to use as many natural materials as possible as nature never goes out of style!
Everything you include for examples are so pretty! 🤩
I really enjoy watching your videos! You make one masterpiece after another 😃
Thank you so much 😀
I’m gonna need some help getting that nice spiral staircase into my 300sq ft apartment 😆💕
Just take photos next to it and no one will ever know you have no second floor.
In a word, "CONTEXT" would be another way of explaining this. However, in a very casual setting, I like to add a few ultra lux pieces, as long then blend very well so as not to look like a mistake. I like the contrast or tension this creates, it is very interesting. THANKS!
Brilliantly done video. Thank you for reflecting on how our choices effect the environment.
Thanks Reynard..
For your inputs...
You hv patently replied....which shows commitment...😊🎉❤
Wonderful...
Excellent advice thank you. And well illustrated with your photos. This makes sense and gives me a lot to think about 😊.
Thank you. I've been learning alot by watching your videos.
Thank you so mush for all the hard work you put in those videos and lists that you create! Each video is brilliant and so helpful!
Can you do a video on crockery that is timeless
I’ve learned so much from your videos, definitely going to keep these things in mind for my new home! I’d love to see a video on cohesion in interior design! I’ve also recently learned about layering and choosing a 3 color palette, then using different tones of those colors in combination with neutrals to create cohesion in a space. Just some ideas for future videos!
Good common sense. I like your perspective and calm delivery.
Thanks for the video, very on point and practical!
Excellent décor guidance. Thank you
Your Belroy stuff really speaks to my warm minimalist style.
Solid advice. Thank you for your videos!
Wow. Love the info. makes total sense!!
Beautiful explanation.
It all makes sense. Now if I could only do this! I lack all talent in decorating.
Thank you for the Bellroy discount 😀
This is very helpful! Thank you
you and your videos are so helpful and amazing
What a great informative essay. Thank you!
Really liked
Bellroy stuff is great. I've been buying it for years and it ages so well.
Awesome 👍😀
Top quality content!
Love your videos and tone/vibe of the videos! What color of the hardware (door knows, bathroom hardware and accessories) is timeless??? I see matte black and matte gold is so popular nowadays but what is a better alternative?
Hey, Reynard. I love your channel and thank you for sharing your wonderful ideas. Question to ask you, if I may. What's your opinion on using 2 different hardwood flooring colors, say kitchen, living room area leading to bedrooms? Have you done a vid on hardwood flooring? Thank you.
I think I have that same antique mirror
@reynardlowell would you consider farm house sinks timeless?
I agree with what you say about natural products etc. But on a average wage these products are very expensive where I live. One has no choice but to buy generic form even that can be expensive.
This noting new to creat timeless interior. Some design never play out same as color
Do you think vinyl flooring is suitable for south Southeast Asia country? They are all year summer.
Hi if I ask you to help me with designing my apartment how much would it cost me to
My apartment is going to be finished on early December this year
I think it's better to think about long lasting design instead of all the way trends. 😉😉
Wow! Which software do you use to design the interiors in room makeover videos?
We typically use Sketchup.
@@reynardlowell thanks
Can I ask what color you would suggest for the walls and flooring in a narrow and dark 1,300 sq ft townhome in Florida? You see all the way to the back of the home when you walk in the front door so I’m thinking a very light greige for paint, and using the same paint all throughout the home to make it feel lighter and bigger? But not sure if each or some rooms should be painted subtly differently to differentiate the different rooms, dining room, kitchen & living room? I had electricians come install more recessed lighting but it gets zero natural light downstairs and feels small and not airy if that makes sense. I was thinking a grayish wood-laminate, again throughout but I hear that is/was a fad… I’m at a loss but my current wall colors (thanks to the previous owner) are hideous and it’s effecting my mental health to be honest. It does have high ceilings, again just So Dark without natural lighting.
I would use a warm white on all walls of the house. Also use large mirrors on the walls to help bounce a little more light around. Add plants as well and keep decor minimal and clear all clutter.
Good advice, but if warm white doesn't suit your soul, a very pale blue gray would work well.
Warm it up with some color in fabrics and accessories.
Some people are uncomfortable with mirrors and any reflective surface helps ( shiny finish on a table, maybe some interior glass).
And not gray floors- pale wood tones.
Whatever color you decide I suggest you use it throughout. I have a fairly open concept townhome and it just is easier on the eye to not change the wall color and have it choppy and smaller looking
Make sure you pay attention to what direction those windows face as well. Also some color schemes look really good up north (industrial, dark & autumnal colors) vs down south (light, airy, pastels, scandi, etc.).
Most of the work is just poring over lots of photos similar to your space so you get a good feel of what will likely work.
Yeah it's always tricky and I don't want to really give advice without seeing it in person, but to make it easier, get a few sample of the paint but not just the swatches (they're printed with ink), get the peel and stick version or a4 swatches that are painted with real paint (or make one, just buy a sample paint and white foam core). Try them out at various time of day to see how it changes with the light.
Paint them throughout (same colour) if you're unsure. If painting different, contrast is better (different colour) - if it's too subtle or similar, it might look like a mistake.
As for grayish wood laminate, I'd advise against that unless that's a colour you personally like. If you're indifferent, then get a floor colour that is closer to natural wood colour, they will be much easier to work with.
Hi Reynard
I’ve been looking for an indoor bonsai
Which one do you recommend
Great video.
FYI “epitome” is pronounced “eh-PIT-toe-mee”
How can you make a pastel green living room look timeless?
a matching bed set is a big no no?
I think that he got the manslaughter charge because of the 10 million lawsuit
It is considered negligent homicide which is a manslaughter that is not intentional but led to a death
I feel bad that this guy wanting to be right over a tree caused a horrible accident that led to his death
Another consideration: hear me out here- how the heck do you get a palm tree into the middle of the street? It would be on the side of the street near curb or still on the property near end of property line
The deceased could have put the tree in the street because it was previously overlooked and had conflict with the truck driver before or another person who has that route
That could be why he had such a extreme reaction to actually go behind the truck in the first place
If you have for example a HOA they will charge you each day that item is there
He could have just called the trash company for bulk pick up he didn’t have to take it so far to try to be right
I love timeless, transitory, modern style decor. Checkered floors aren't timeless to me though. They're fads like wall paper rooms. Hard to find pieces for my style and put them all together.
I was always taught that sustainability was about making the least impact on the environment, so, if everyone mined real stone, eventually we'd run out of the natural resource so arguably, man made would be more sustainable in that sense?
Haha yes, I'm more referring to timber when I mentioned sourcing natural materials locally. Better to use local timber than one from across the globe.
Real stone are definitely non-renewable, although stones that are sourced locally can be considered eco-friendly. The sustainability here is tricky, but if you consider longevity (century old Taj Mahal with marble still look new), and the fact that large slabs can be recycled into smaller pieces, and then when those get retired it can get reworked into even smaller pieces (decor like bookends, etc), and at the very end marble can be ground up and used in concrete - it should be sustainable? but then again the production process has a lot of waste, and worse, is the heavy shipping operation (hence the sourcing them locally aspect).
When I did my kitchen I searched for already used countertops granite or marble that was selling by people who sell them because of demolitions or renovations…so at least it as a second life…I found what I wanted and the size that can fit with little adjustments…can you imagine if those stones would have gone to waste…
The black and white checker board floor will be out of favor before the end of 2024.
I won't be surprised if it does, as I mentioned in the video, everything will eventually go in and out of style anyway, but that's not what matters.
I used checkerboard tiles on porch floor because we had vinyl flooring in the same pattern while growing up. I chose it for nostalgic reasons. I plan to choose a green for the walls, with palms and rattan or other natural materials.
The people who are chasing trends can afford to chase them. Most people use the materials available at the time. The only timeless design is midcentury modern. It’s timeless because it’s popular for most people. Their preference doesn’t make it obsolete.
I don’t know what direction to go in my 1969 bungalow. It has zero architectural design.
Stop knocking down walls!
In North America, most new builds are simple cookie cutter condos with no personality or character. I'm finding your videos challenging as they do not provide advice on how to make small bland homes "timeless"
I think marble is gross. People use too much of it and the veins are tacky.
More pauses are drastically needed in your presentation, hen e the principal of SATURATION. Remember this: words are EXPENSIVE so don't be a spendthrift...
Minor nitpick: “epitome” is pronounced “eh-pit-oh-mee”. Pronouncing it “eh-pi-tome” is actually a common joke about how not to pronounce it
Good video but I feel like you’re reading Chat GPT for a lot of it
@reynard lowell I really enjoy your videos however you move your head a lot . 😆
And almost never keep it straight. You are entertaining and informative 🔥
