This is one of my favorite videos from you Drew! Thank you for doing it. Teaching people about the history of design is so important not to get trapped in the thought that new is better. Trends are rooted in history and the old can be refinished and refreshed rather than tossed. Please do more of these Drew ❤
I had a pink boucle suit in the 60s. It wasn't Chanel, but it looked just like one! My mom made it for me because I was a young teenager and wanted something grown up looking for my Easter suit. I remember going with her to pick out the fabric and just loving the texture of it. The lady in the fabric store said "You'll look just like Jackie Kennedy!" I wish!
It's so important for us to learn that there is historical context to everything. Educating ourselves and each other on history helps us to develop critical thinking.
Haha that’s fun! My cats no longer rip my upholstery since I put down an old fashioned rag rug and have taught them to use that instead of the furniture. -Susan
One thing you didn't mention about Wallpaper was that during Victorian times it was made with Arsenic coining the term "death by wallpaper" it is even said to have contributed to Napoleon's death.... Great video Drew... very informative.
Interior designing: A moment in history with Drew should be a series. Would LOVE it if you could slow down and actually walk us through all the different snippets and tidbits you've found on the when, the why and the how! Yayyy ❤
Love terrazzo flooring. It was huge in the 1920s Art Deco period, but goes back much further than that. Like your comment about it being cool to lie on in the summer.
Yes!! More of these. It is so important to me to be able to understand how to discern between trends and classic elements and their history brings so much meaning!

Historically, lime wash was a breathable paint stain that was also antibacterial and antifungal. It was used during plagues or epidemics to keep down contagion. Even as late as the fifties, hospital rooms were whitewashed ( though not lime washed ) after the discharge of patients who were highly infectious. It quickly refreshed and sanitized the room.
Thank you, Drew, for the "Interior Design 'Class' "! 🙂 I Appreciate your Research! All the pictures and your explanations of the Design topics, from all the time periods and places, were great! I feel like I was a Student again! 😀 Thank You SO Much!!! 🙂M.
Thanks for your history lesson. I appreciate your research, visual examples and the fast pace you presented the info. I'd love to see more videos like this one. My opinion about "trends" is that although they are based on ideas that have been around for a very long time, the way those ideas are used is what causes them to become "dated". There's usually a period of 20-60 years after a trend peaks where it becomes associated with "old and outdated" and we all move on to something "new". After 20-60 years, the trend is often revived with a tweak that makes it look new again. The best way to avoid "dated" decor is to incorporate trendy items with traditional/antique things that aren't trends at the moment.
Yeah i dont agree with the headline "will never go out of Style" like he mentioned himself, he painted his wood panelling white, so there was a period when this wasn't in style, I don't get it. He takes elements that were modern 20-30 years ago, just like you said, and then says it's timeless because of that. But in those 20-30 years in-between noone liked it.
Love this video, Drew! Been watching you (and subscribed of course) forever! So proud of you for your success, your growth, and your interest in learning and sharing all things design! 😘
Your vast knowledge of so many subjjects is very impressive... 🏆 I never tire of listening to you... Thank you for all the informative videos.. it's the best learning method.. 📚 🥰
Love the education. Trends come & go but you have proven that choosing a timeless classic will never be out of style. Invest wisely in your most expensive investment-your home. Then you can have fun with your accents/accessories. You can do this often with color or fad trends & not break the bank. As always Drew, I turn to you for expert advice. I'm almost 70 yrs old & I simply can't wait for your weekly update video!! I love everything you do & say!!❤❤
I love this video and hearing how far back in history these ‘trends’ go. Absolutely, I would be happy to watch any other videos that you create in this vein!!
Drew I can't get enough your gorgeous house!! Love getting glimpses of your personal home style, and more videos like this! Could you please do a video on how to make a transform newish condos to look like your old world, timeless home design? All I see I are modern condo design, but I crave an old world, historic aesthetic on a budget for my 1 bedroom condo. You're the best!
Lots of great info here. I always have leaned toward quality classics that stand the test of time for the "bones" of a home and it's interior elements. You can always sprinkle in a few inexpensive trendy items that are easy to change out when they lose their (temporary) luster, but it's a good investment to keep the major stuff timeless. Personally, I like all of these classic design elements except for horizontal shiplap on walls - that is one thing I would never want in a home. Great video and yes, I would like to see more like this.
Arches are such a simple and effortless architectural detail to elevate you space! And I love that you can interpret them in both contemporary or traditional styles.
I loved this video….very educational. Amazing how many of these timeless materials and styles you have in your home. I didn’t know what boo- clay was but have always liked your beautiful white “ very textured” sofa. History does repeat itself and it was very interesting to hear about their ancient origins. Actually, who cares if something is “ in or out”; if we like it we should do it. 🥰
I have always loved wallpaper. The walls of my entire kitchen and dining room are covered in a French wallpaper, where I found a series of patterns that complimented one another. It is over 20 years old, and I still love it. My advice is to buy the highest quality paper you can afford because it lasts for many years!! (The one in the kitchen actually looks like lime wash using muted blue tones.)
The research and effort that you put forth in this video is obvious and made an excellent presentation. Thank you for taking the time to include reference pictures, extra time consuming, but really such an enhancement.
L O L! You were talking about wood paneling, and the reason why it was used. Absolutely correct! I inherited my mom and dad‘s rent house after they passed and you got it. They’ve got the wood paneling on the walls in the major big areas, the living room, the dining room, the kitchen! So in my living room, I caulked where of course it’s come away from the wall and I stripped all the sculpting trim on the top of the ceiling or at the top. And I painted over my paneling instead of replacing it. It’s still a work in progress, but much better than that dark woodin my just a little over thousand square-foot home and it doesn’t make those rooms look so tiny!
Wood paneling was used a lot in the 60"s and 70's in cheaper construction - no need to dry wall, tape, and mud. I once pulled the paneling away in a home I was living in and found they had used newspaper for insulation - if they had used any insulation.
You could say wood paneling in general (incl. ship lap as a variation) is Northern European while limewash, arches and zellige are Mediterranean. 😊 (Arches were greek first though. Greek culture was before Roman culture.)
It is so nice to see your smiling face today. I am in love with your shiplap ideas. The ceiling ideas and the way you placed it vertically is fantastic. I am creating my tiny home and you just answered my question to my ceiling and walls. I love it when you do these videos. Your work is exquisite, Congrats Dear Drew another success story for you
Thank you for all your dedication to letting us know about these trends. It's funny how today's shiplap is yesterday's paneling.😅 Somewhere in Rialto, CA, my home from 1978 may still have paneling in the living room and hallway! Fun times!😊
Loved this video Drew!! ANYTHING history intrigues me. But the history of home decor design with a little sprinkle of fashion on top! Totally sucks me in! Would love more videos like this one! Thank you!
I feel like I just got out of a interior design history class. Your a great teacher! Loved this video. Very informative. And I actually learned something! 😄😁😆 ❤🙌👌
I would much rather hear what will never go out of style and some history behind it than all the many many videos from others about what in my house is out of style and never will be in style again, lol. Thanks Drew!
Yes i definitely love this!! Ive taken so many art history classes from being a art major and i think its more interesting when its ties into modern day time so that it registers better in your kind
As someone who is currently in the process of bringing new life to my home, I have found a multitude of ideas Drew. I have been slowly chipping away at it for 2 yrs. I am a think outside of the box personality. I don’t like cookie cutter. You are pretty spectacular!!
Very informative and interesting. You make it so easy to learn.I can decorative the outside but i need all the help I can get inside. Getting ready to redecorate my home. This video came at the right time. Thank you.
Zellige was not my favorite until you showed us all those great examples! I think I have only seen it in rectangles vertically in bright colors. Great video.
That was fun! I would love to see a video on different design styles. I don’t mean the easy ones like mcm or farmhouse. (It’s been fun to see your house and design style. You mention Spanish Revival for the house with some Brutalist decor.) For instance, here are some confusing ones, Art Deco & Hollywood Glam, Contemporary & Traditional, Modernism & Modern & Stream-line Modern & Post-Modernism, Bauhaus Movement & Scandinavian. Now there is granmillenial and cottage core. I feel like people are making some stuff up as they go on the last two.😂 But, for me, it all gets confusing. So sometimes when someone is explaining something and throws one of these terms out, I don’t always get it.
Just a note: you said a while back that your sofa is “performance” bouclé, perfect for upholstery. Unfortunately, fast furniture isn’t always upholstered with this kind of sturdy, stain-resistant bouclé. I loved this video and hope you’ll do more like it!

Enjoyed this. Please do something like this again. The history of the terms was a great bonus.
You're so cute! I love the way you explain everything. You make it so fun and interesting.

My kitties are also fans of BOUCLE upholstery fabric. They transformed the fabric on their favorite nap-time chair into BOUCLE fabric.
Haha that’s fun! My cats no longer rip my upholstery since I put down an old fashioned rag rug and have taught them to use that instead of the furniture. -Susan
One thing you didn't mention about Wallpaper was that during Victorian times it was made with Arsenic coining the term "death by wallpaper" it is even said to have contributed to Napoleon's death.... Great video Drew... very informative.
Oh wow!!! This is super interesting
Yes, William Morris’s greens had a ton of it I’ve read
I loved this type of video. I don't necessarily care about keeping up with current trends but I love learning the back story of things.
Thanks for the history lesson…loved it💙💙💙💙💙⭐️
I love hearing you talk about styles and types of products with the correct names
Interior designing: A moment in history with Drew should be a series. Would LOVE it if you could slow down and actually walk us through all the different snippets and tidbits you've found on the when, the why and the how! Yayyy ❤
Terrazzo is nice with added colour and patterns. My dad use to work with terrazzo in 1950s and we had it as flooring. So cool to lie on in summer. 🌺
Love terrazzo flooring. It was huge in the 1920s Art Deco period, but goes back much further than that. Like your comment about it being cool to lie on in the summer.

This is just so, so sweet 🥹
Thanks for doing the research! I loved the video, Drew. Might you consider doing a video on some furniture style trends and where they originated?
Love this content, who doesn’t like to learn about design?… keep them coming ❤
Well done!
I love washes. I adore the old look!
Love hearing the history of these timeless trends. Please do more videos like this
I really enjoyed this video! Another timeless trend is terracotta!
Historically, lime wash was a breathable paint stain that was also antibacterial and antifungal. It was used during plagues or epidemics to keep down contagion. Even as late as the fifties, hospital rooms were whitewashed ( though not lime washed ) after the discharge of patients who were highly infectious. It quickly refreshed and sanitized the room.
The best one yet
Love this style video. Thanks
I love this type of video as it is both informative and enjoyable.
Love this kind of content❤
I think you are right on each timeless trend
We just love everything you do, Drew; however, I would love to see more of your What would Drew do?
Definitely continue to do these types of videos. I am totally get endless ideas. Thanks for sharing!
Absolutely LOVE this video! So informative! Great content!!

Your vast knowledge of so many subjjects is very impressive... 🏆
I never tire of listening to you...
Thank you for all the informative videos.. it's the best learning method.. 📚 🥰
I love the history you give for these trends!!

I love the informational and educational info! History is interesting, but was always taught in a boring way. I’d love more of these videos!
Drew I absolutely loved this video! I loved that you talked about the history behind each trend, it's super interesting to know all these things.
Timeless - window muntins, pictures in mosaic tiles, gothic arches, wood picture frames, handmade pottery, wool rugs
Well done, I loved it. Note: lime washes were also used to keep insects away, specially when applied to exterior walls.
Fantastic video. My favorite thing about all of the current “trends” is that they are timeless! 🤍
I love this video and hearing how far back in history these ‘trends’ go. Absolutely, I would be happy to watch any other videos that you create in this vein!!
I loved the history of the elements!
Loved this video! Yes, please make more videos like this! I love knowing what elements of design are "here to stay"! Thanks for sharing! 😊
Just passing through here to say I appreciate you’ve matched your outfit with your background, very cute ✨
Nicely done, Drew!😊❤

Boucle, which means "curl" in French.
Please make more videos like these !🙏🏽🤗
Yessss! Please more videos like that!!!
I've seen all this stuff as a humanities major in college. Love it all!!!❤❤❤
Thank you Drew. Good ideas

(The one in the kitchen actually looks like lime wash using muted blue tones.)
Paper was sometimes used as the final on lathe and plaster walls in bedrooms and then painted. There was usually a lap of about one inch
@@gregpendrey6711 Interesting! My husband and I were just looking at some paintable wallpaper. We are updating our master bathroom.
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS VIDEO...AND WOULD LOVE TO SEE MORE LIKE IT ❗️
Well done Drew

I like wallpaper but it very personal. You might love it but someone else may hate it. Its like a bathing suit, very personal! Lol

Thank you!
It is so nice to see your smiling face today. I am in love with your shiplap ideas. The ceiling ideas and the way you placed it vertically is fantastic.

This was so fun!! I have so many ideas now lol❤❤❤❤
That cabinet on your right...
Is dreamy!! Love these videos, I love learning how things have made their way into our history. 🦊
Thanks Drew!! This was very informative….I learned a lot!!🥰
I just did a headboard in sage green boucle, I love it.
I’ll bet it isn’t ratty LOL 😅
Planning to color drench my bedroom a dark muted green
I’m moving to Spain and have spent time there recently and I adore your house as it reminds me of my beloved Barcelona
I really enjoyed the historical background of these! It makes me appreciate these trends more! Would love to see more videos from you like this!

Fab vid. I have gone back to 60/70s trend for white walls and ceiling’s. Still love it.
Yessss I love art history with Drew!
Loved it Drew! Variety is the spice of life, and keeps my interest! Thx for another great video ♥
