I have to admit that I am not designing anything…. I’m here for your personality, wit and good Canadian snark Nick! 😂

Who else wants to bring Nick to Europe just to see his reviews of furniture shops we have here for a change?

Hi Nick, I know you often joke about your audience demographics, but I'm a guy doing a DIY renovation of an entire home, and trying my hand at design as well. Your videos are invaluable, especially these ones. Thanks for making these 👍

Nick, you’re my Saturday morning cartoons.

Nick explaining the difference between Modern and Contemporary, be still my heart! The misuse of these words is one of my biggest pet peeves.

[realamanda]

I recently moved into my first apartment in over a decade, having lived with a controlling ex-partner and then with my parents post-divorce. Your videos have been super helpful as I slowly build a space that feels calm, safe, and cozy. Thank you so much for the inspiration and guidance!

[seaside]

Oh Nick popped up. It's Saturday then. Good to know. When you're retired you don't really know what day it is, or you really don't care.

My husband and I built a house in the woods a couple of years ago and this organic modern is as close to my style as any I’ve seen. Except that I have a slightly more colorful version. Maybe slightly deeper shades of moss green, brown, gold, and so on. but lots of natural materials. Stained trim and solid wood doors, bamboo flooring, granite counter, stone fireplace with a rough wood mantle, pebble floor in the shower, an old barn wood dining room table, lots of matte black metal, real plants. No faux anything. Decorations also related to nature, like bird nests, an undyed wool tapestry, turtle shells, wooden things, pottery, and irregular shapes. And a mix of more modern furniture and antiques. Every room has big windows so that everywhere you look is nature. So I feel like my version of the organic modern style goes well with that. (My son calls my style “obnoxious modern hippie.”) Thanks for covering this style!

I don't think I could live in an all beige/white home. Bold, bright colours make me happier. However, I do love the organic part. Love wood, stone, plants, ceramic pots/vases, brick walls. Sorry Nick, I love the jungle look!!! Plants are living art and require light. Having large windows contribute to positive health vibes. I can still appreciate those who love the organic modern style. Thanks for another great informative video!!! 💚

This is THE most ‘unoffensive-to-anyone’ decor I have ever seen. No one can possibly hate this. Even the people bored by it, just put their favorite music on and they’ll feel fine, lol.

[dreamwithinadreamfilms]

I second your sentiment, Organic Modern is here to stay! 💚🌿It’s so much like living near a peaceful stream, with some greenery, I feel like this design style (while not everyone’s cup of tea) represents something our souls innately crave in our sometimes hollow plastic digitized world.

Hitting 👍🏽 before watching Nick's content is a sure thing ... his commentary NEVER disappoints!
Grabbing my 🍷and going in 😄

[rabbitsandphilodendron]

oooh that's what that style is called!
ive seen it mixed with mid century-ish styles a lot recently, it looks stunning. although in it's 'pure', completely organic beige-y form i feel like it doesnt work in every space, i really love the concept. it always kind of feels like a spa moment to me. mix in unexpected anorganic shapes, styles and colors for a pop of contrast and boom! absolute goodness.

[lucygilliland]

As I watched this video, I looked around as, one by one, everything I own was mentioned and every guideline was met. Guess I found my style! Mine is a mix of a couple bought pieces, a few family heirlooms, thrifted, traded, auction purchases and even a trade or two. Love the style and love Nick’s wonderful witty comments.

[reebeeable]

I call this dry organic modern. I live in lush Minnesota where forests are verdant vibrant greens, the sky is bright blue, soil a rich dark brown, and fall golden and red. The colors of this dry organic modern style are sad, parched, and leave me thirsty. Just a suggestion - Room and Board has some great furniture that might work with this style - a bit expensive but the well crafted and made to last. (I don’t work for them just like their stuff.)

[Alyinaz]

I love this style but as a color artist I need to bring a little more color into it. All colors are in nature. 🎨 🌿🌼🌵🌺

[Katuchis]

I love this channel : beautiful bundle of sass and education! It is so clear that Nick enjoys sharing his knowledge! It's so inspiring and the content, I believe, is so informative. Thank you 🙏

Buy local from local artists. It’s beautiful and unique not like every other piece in a chain store.
