00:00 - This is Designs Do's and Don'ts with Kai and Michelle.
00:05 (upbeat music)
00:07 - Right now, I really hate when everything is all white.
00:11 Like that trend of everything being all white.
00:13 We're not in an all white space
00:15 because look at the warmth.
00:16 - Oh my, is she calling me out?
00:17 - No, in the upholstery,
00:18 like when everything is just like cool tones,
00:20 you know, like white and gray,
00:21 I think that we have to like bring warmth back into spaces.
00:24 - The gray trend, basically.
00:24 - The gray trend, yes.
00:25 - I get it, I get it.
00:26 - You know, let me, let me--
00:27 - Oh, I did the hell out of it.
00:28 - Because normally what comes with the gray trend
00:29 is something white, like white countertops
00:31 and white cabinets.
00:32 - All blue tones, right?
00:33 - It's just so cool.
00:35 Like you, I'm shivering.
00:37 - Right, it's just time to warm some things up.
00:39 I'm agreeing with you.
00:40 I think the do is warming earth tones again.
00:44 I think bring brown back.
00:46 - Yes, bring brown back.
00:47 - Bring brown back.
00:49 - Say that three times.
00:50 - Okay, I'm gonna stop.
00:51 But not the way we did it before,
00:52 like chocolate browns and blues
00:54 or oranges and chocolate browns.
00:56 Let's not be predictable.
00:57 Let's make it a little more caramel, like the sofa.
00:59 Let's make it, look at us.
01:00 I mean.
01:01 - We just really like to leave and leave by example.
01:04 What is your biggest design do?
01:08 - I'm gonna give away one that's really easy, right?
01:10 In order to establish a color in a room, right?
01:12 We've got something super neutral.
01:14 You're like, I need something just to add
01:15 a little bit of punch.
01:16 To establish that color in a room,
01:17 you should have it three times.
01:19 Maybe a stack of books, maybe a flower, and maybe a vase.
01:23 But like, I wanna see a triangle in the room
01:25 to make it make sense and create balance.
01:27 - We know my forever design do is wallpaper.
01:32 - Oh, you're a thief.
01:33 She's a thief?
01:34 - You must have wallpaper.
01:36 So I think the day where we think of wallpaper
01:38 as this really like, antiquated,
01:40 oh, what was in our grandmother's homes
01:42 that was super floral and you're like, ah, no.
01:45 - You're gonna be super mad when you see our interiors
01:47 because you didn't use wallpaper.
01:49 - I mean, really, you'll just be sad.
01:50 But you'll be sad with yourself.
01:52 So we're telling you now that wallpaper is a do.
01:56 - I accept.
