Gray floors have that depressing builders grade look.

I bought a 130 year old home, the sellers put in new gray laminate over the original Douglas fir planks (I ripped it out first thing). Should be illegal to cover such beautiful old wood.

The best video on interior design I have ever seen. I just oppose the chosen words 'cheap' and 'expensive'. I don't want to live in a house that looks expensive. I want a home that is well designed.

Ugh, my landlord put gray "wood" floors in my apartment and I HATE them so much. I have area rugs everywhere.

while my sofa is not tufted (because I don't find them comfy), it is velvet forest green in a room painted Benjamin Moore Dark Walnut and I LOVE it!!! Everyone who comes to my home loves this room and B-lines it to that room when they visit. It's just a nice warm hug of a room. It was never about a trend for me. It was something I've always wanted and it took me years to find it. SOmetimes you gotta just follow your heart and not the advice of designers. You gotta know when to break the "rules".

Buttoned Chesterfields are hardly trendy or new. They're classics and aren't going anywhere.

I hate the idea that design has to be expensive. The desire to look fancy/luxurious is such an over played want.

the condo I moved into, which I am renting, has grey wood flooring. I can't do anything about it, so I am putting very warm coloured big rugs over it as much as possible to cancel it out.

Disagree with jewel-toned velvet sofas. Still in love with my sapphire blue velvet sectional. Comfy and low maintenance. Yes, can be dusty but all it needs is a quick vacuum.

I love velvet sofas. Glass tables are a bad idea for several reasons
