Stupidest Interior Design Trends of All Time

One of the few pros of not having a lot of money is that no matter how many times I see a trend and think, "I can make it work." I'm forced to actually wait for my payday and by then sense has already come to me Brokenness has saved me from a lot of kitsch

"You don't have to agree with me, but you're wrong" Love the attitude! Never change, Nick! Love your humor!

I hate HATE random writing on walls! I have noped out of renting a place just because of that.

Yes please - make a series "5 things Nick hates this week".

Honestly, what I enjoy most about you is that once in a while, you make no disclaimer, no apology, no “this is my opinion; if you like X, go ahead and do it/use it.” I like it when you don’t censor yourself at all. Today’s finest: “I don’t like teenagers.”

So happy you got a house. Looking forward to those design updates

These videos are the grown-up version of Saturday morning cartoons. I'm going to laugh, going to be in a great mood afterwards, and I look forward to it all week. The fact that I actually learn some things sometimes is just a bonus. Thanks, Nick!

What is a Saturday morning without a good rant about dumb interior design trends? Good advice about your personal financial security. Really important.

My husband and I are Gen X and we had a waterbed in our first apartment. It was given to us second hand by a boomer 😂. The best part about a waterbed was that when my husband snored and kept me up I could do an undulating move that created a wave across the mattress that would then wake him up for a second and stop the snoring 🤣🤣🤣

The waterbeds bring back lots of happy boomer memories for me. I'm gonna leave it at that! Even though they were kind of stupid, I look back on them very fondly.

I know everyone has to act cheerful on those home renovation shows, but I would have cried if I found out Hildy was going to decorate any room in my house. I don't know if that was on purpose (because drama!), but it was awful every single time. Not even just not my taste; it was just flat out bad.

My mom is 87 and she STILL swears by her water bed, mostly for the warmth and comfort. She claims she can't sleep on a regular mattress, but i guess if she's had a waterbed for (🤔2024-1977)=almost 50 years, then more power to her.

Omg that interior designer with awful taste on Trading Spaces! The hay on the walls glued with epoxy 🤢

So happy you got a house. Looking forward to those design updates.

Boomer here- my PARENTS had a waterbed in the 1970s, as did many of their friends. The cats loved the warm smooshy nest it made- they would crawl under the bedspread and sink in. Once my mom tossed her briefcase on the bed and hit the hidden cat. No harm done, thanks to the smooshy 'mattress'.

The paint cartells... I just can't 🤣 I'm all in for a "5 things Nick hates this week" series by the way...

I live in a senior living apartment building. We just got a new manager. All new decor that is black and white everywhere, pretty much colorless, slipper chairs low and armless so most residents can't use them, word art as I walk in telling me to be kind, thoughtful, etc. Three signs in the laundry room "wash, dry, fold, check your pockets". Oh, one sign is a clothes pin with the word laundry. We even have sticker words in the elevator. Can you guess her age? BTW none of us have dementia so we really don't need direction. But we could use some of our beautiful art she removed.

I’m not gonna lie, the tirade Nick went on when he started talking about the plastic furniture was amazing. The indignation and disgust was radiating off the screen and I found it hilarious. Clearly this is something that he’s thought about a lot. 😂

Hey Nick, I love your channel and attitudes on style. I have a waterbed story for you. I'm a boomer who married a guy in 1990, and he owned a king-size waterbed. It reminded him of camping on the boat. That was until we added me sleeping on it too which caused him to wake up every time I moved. I didn't sleep any better. He adored that bed, but it took two years before he was convinced we needed a real bed. One thing that helped him let go of it was when I suggested the hardwood frame was perfect for raised garden boxes for our veggie garden. So that is how our waterbed became a garden bed and made room for us to buy a real bed. Hardwood lasts several years in a garden, so it was a big win for us. I learned later that the heater mat for the bed would have made a great seedling mat for growing our own plant starts. I That helped him a lot being able to reuse it somehow.

I’m a Boomer. Had a waterbed and loved it! But, it had baffles inside so the water didn’t slosh around, had a quilted cover so it looked like a regular mattress, and looked like a regular bed when made up. Sure, you had to use water conditioner so it wouldn’t get moldy inside, and needed a heater so the bed would be a comfortable temperature. Emptied with a hose into the bathtub. So comfortable! You were cradled—no tossing and turning. It was great.
