Interior Design ICKS that NEED to be AVOIDED (This will hurt some feelings...)

I always liked Mary Tyler Moore's "M" on her wall. She was a single woman, claiming her space as her own (plus I loved her first apartment!). I left an abusive marriage after 20+ years. I have my initial on the wall, just like Mary. It reminds me this is my home and no one will bully me out of it.

But if my laundry room doesn't have a sign that says "laundry " how will I know where to wash my clothes?

In my world, it is a flex getting quality stuff for pocket change, not how expensive stuff is!

If I see a “Let’s Eat” sign… I’m leaving.

My toxic trait is that I walk through my house excitedly pointing out which items were $3 at a thrift store.

A lot of the time, I agree with Design Daddy but, when it comes to that chair sitting to his right, the one that looks like the love child of a Dr. Suess character & Beetlejuice that was conceived on the set of Sesame Street, I have to question his taste. It dominates the room & screams hysterically for attention.

I hope you include a section in your next design ick video about ugly, oversized chairs in your room.

Plants aren't about decor though. It's a hobby, oftentimes a major one. Plant lovers try to make plants fit into our decor because where else are we supposed to put them? Growing and caring for plants is one of my favourite activities. I've probably spent thousands on gorgeous planters over the years, just to make my hobby work in my space. Not all of us have garden spaces or greenhouses we can play around in. Not all of us can do a deck garden all year round because of the weather where we live. And who doesn't have hobbies? Musicians display their instruments. Quilters display their quilts. Chefs display their kitchenware. Collectors display their collections. Those people are encouraged to show off their creations or collections. It would be wonderful to have information and inspiration on how to design and style with plants, because there isn't much out there beyond the very basics of "group them together and display them at different heights." Also I've been growing plants in the same home for almost 28 years and I don't have any mold issues! Maybe if your climate is already super humid or you're watering your houseplants with a hose or something, I dunno.

For those of us with grey floors we're stuck with, would love a video on how to work with/around/downplay/compliment/make due. Same for honey oak/orange.

A funny one with Word Art : for several years in my toilets, as a joke, I had a Frozen poster nailed on the door with only the letter LET IT GO written on it. 🤣

OMG I thought I was the only one who hated the geometric wall crap lol

👏👏👏👏Someone needs to call out these 'influencers' that gloat about the cost of their home or items they purchased for the home. Just because something cost $20,000 doesn't automatically make it beautiful, practical or necessary.

You forgot barn doors. 🤢

Please do a video on design fatique. It is something I am afraid of, I'd like to know more.

Whew escaped this list…. I do brag about all my thrift store & FB Marketplace items!! Proud of these 😊

You are 100% correct for every trend you mentioned. I am literally triggered when I enter a home with word signs.

For many “plant people” the plants are our hobby and passion; we collect certain plant species and varieties and grow them from tiny cuttings. We buy and sell cuttings and also whole plants according to our interest towards certain specific plants. We have specific care plans for every plant and we study the needs (light, moisture, growing patterns) and we get so happy with every new leaf and so on. We curate our collection and sometimes go overboard on spending in tiny one leaf cutting. But it’s our very interesting hobby and we love our plants. So the jungle vibe is not a design thing but a hobby that takes quite a bit room in our homes. I would love some pro designers to do content about how to fit hobbies in design and also pets; not just cats and dogs but others too.

My Grandmother had a plaque in her guest bath saying "If you tinkle while you sprinkle-be a sweetie and wipe the seatie"

In TOTAL agreement here! I HATE it when someone even asks "OMG, how much was that?" I think we should just answer, "crap, I can't remember!"

😂😂😂😂😂 watched this out on my patio and was laughing so hard that my neighbor came over to ask what I was watching. I could barely answer I was cry-laughing so hard... 😂😂😂😂😂 Love this! ❤
