hi it's lindsy Diane from Dian decor.com
0:05
in this video we're going to talk all
0:07
about decorating by your age now without
0:11
question your age and your lifestyle
0:14
have as much to do if not more to do
0:17
with your interior decorating style as
0:20
your space and your budget The Living
0:23
Spaces of a teen or young adult are
0:25
vastly different than those of a
0:27
middle-aged man or woman or a family
0:31
living together in this video we're
0:33
going to talk about why they are
0:35
different and explore different
0:37
decorating styles for each age group
0:40
let's get
0:41
started now you may be wondering what
0:43
does age have to do with anything and
0:46
the answer is a lot one's interior
0:49
design or interior decorating style is
0:52
an expression of their personality their
0:54
taste and their lifestyle and as we age
0:58
all of those things evolve with us our
1:02
priorities change the things that we
1:05
need in life change and the things that
1:08
we may want in life also change and so
1:12
as we get older inevitably our interior
1:16
spaces will evolve with us this is
1:20
something that we easily accept for kids
1:23
right you have a nursery that then gets
1:26
transitioned into a toddler room and
1:30
then you've got a big boy bed or a big
1:32
boy bedroom and then you have a teens
1:35
room and then you have you know kids
1:38
going off to college and you have dorm
1:41
decor these are things that we easily
1:44
accept in the younger years but as you
1:47
get older 20 and above they change just
1:51
as frequently every decade you're going
1:54
to have different priorities and
1:56
different needs and so we're going to
1:57
talk all about that in this video first
2:00
up is young adults so anyone that's in
2:04
their 20s this is the time where you are
2:07
tasting independent for the first time
2:10
and your decorating style is definitely
2:12
going to be a reflection of that it
2:15
mirrors your new found Independence and
2:18
an energetic lifestyle you have very
2:22
little
2:23
responsibilities some people may be in
2:25
school some people may be uh starting
2:27
jobs for the first time but in general
2:31
they do not have a lot of
2:33
responsibilities aside from pretty much
2:35
taking care of themselves exploring and
2:37
growing as a person and that is
2:40
reflected in their interior design
2:43
choices modern and contemporary designs
2:47
with eclectic furniture and trendy Decor
2:49
accents are common choices for young
2:53
adults in their
2:54
20s this age group tends to experiment
2:57
with different looks and while likely
3:00
change up their style multiple times
3:03
within this decade midlife so 30 to 50
3:08
you have families you have people that
3:11
have settled down that are often living
3:14
with someone else and often have
3:17
children as well living with them so
3:20
this is the couples and family homes
3:23
that are being decorated during this
3:26
season of life career development family
3:30
life and personal growth take precedence
3:32
over anything else during this time the
3:36
transitional interior design style is
3:38
one that you see very much so in
3:41
households with people ranging from 30
3:44
to 50 now this is a mix of the
3:47
traditional and the Contemporary style
3:50
this is the studio McGee style that we
3:53
see so much at Target it is a nice mesh
3:59
of
4:00
something that is more modern and of the
4:02
time with something that is traditional
4:04
which a lot of us again I'm in that that
4:07
age group a lot of us grew up with a lot
4:10
of traditional Interiors so this is a
4:13
mix of our childhood along with what is
4:16
new in Cutting Edge melded together
4:20
quality and durability may also take
4:22
precedence during this time with our
4:25
furnishings and the things that we're
4:27
choosing for our home we want for them
4:29
to stand the test of time we want for
4:31
our style to stand the test of time
4:33
because again our Focus may be shifted
4:36
to other things and by Focus I mean your
4:39
budget your attention your time and so
4:42
you may not have all of that to give
4:44
into your home so when you do choose New
4:46
pieces for your home you do them in a
4:49
very thoughtful manner the focus is
4:51
turning towards creating a nice cohesive
4:54
family home next up is empty nesters so
4:58
this is generally people between like 50
5:01
and 65 where their children are starting
5:04
to leave the home and they have a
5:06
newfound Freedom by not having to take
5:09
care of kids and drive them to school
5:11
all the time and they have more space to
5:14
use in their home because those bedrooms
5:16
or that playroom is no longer being
5:19
occupied and this is the time where we
5:21
see a lot of refreshing happening in the
5:24
home this stage of Life often brings on
5:28
a desire for more simp licity and a
5:30
refined aesthetic so classic and
5:33
Timeless designs become a focus along
5:37
with comfort and sophistication during
5:41
this time you also see a lot of
5:44
reinvesting in the home and investing in
5:47
higher end pieces this is a time where
5:50
it sort of feels safe to do that because
5:52
you don't have a lot of kids who aren't
5:53
necessarily mindful of the furniture and
5:57
you know worried about messing up
5:58
upholstery or things like that getting
6:00
crayon on them getting marker on them
6:02
someone spilling soda on them this is a
6:04
time where you see people reinvest in
6:07
their home a little bit more because you
6:09
do not have the uh the younger family
6:11
members there any longer you also see a
6:16
refocus on self right so you're thinking
6:20
about your next chapter now that the
6:23
raising of children is gone and you can
6:26
refocus on things that you like your
6:28
hobbies so so your daughter's room may
6:30
become your craft room and your son's
6:32
room may become a new uh separate home
6:36
office for your husband these are the
6:38
things that happen in these empty nester
6:40
years as far as design Styles go for
6:42
empty nesters this is a time again where
6:46
you are really identifying with what you
6:49
want as an individual so you tend to
6:52
move out of that more neutral please
6:55
everybody decorating style and you may
6:58
lean a little bit more into into a style
7:00
that you really love like a rustic Chic
7:03
style maybe you lean into that or maybe
7:05
you're leaning into something a little
7:07
bit more modern or a little bit more
7:09
Glam you may find your Lan sort of
7:12
narrowed down as far as the things that
7:14
you like in these years because you have
7:17
more focus on yourself you have more
7:19
time on yourself to explore and decide
7:22
what it is that I like and you've been
7:24
around long enough to know the things
7:26
that you don't like right so this is a
7:29
Time you may see homes that have a more
7:32
distinct interior design style than
7:36
those of people in their 30s or 40s and
7:40
last but not least is the retirement
7:42
years so we're talking about 60 65 and
7:46
up people that are contemplating
7:48
retirement or newly retired their focus
7:52
is going to be on Comfort on
7:57
tranquility and on accessibility in
7:59
their home this is when we start to have
8:02
conversations about aging in place are
8:04
we going to stay here long term what's
8:07
going to make it easier for us to stay
8:08
in this home long term you know how many
8:11
visitors do we really have how many
8:14
bedrooms do we really need to have so
8:17
you may be thinking about downsizing you
8:18
may be thinking about moving into a more
8:20
accessible home or you may be thinking
8:22
about just making modifications to your
8:25
current home so that you can stay there
8:27
long term style-wise we see lots of
8:30
Earth Tones elegant fabrics and
8:33
functional Furniture this is not the
8:36
time to throw in a bean bag chair in
8:40
your home this is not the time to
8:42
experiment with a super deep Cloud sofa
8:46
these are not the pieces that you're
8:47
going to find in a home with people of
8:50
retirement age you're going to look for
8:51
something a little bit more functional a
8:53
little bit more elegant and something
8:56
that is going to be useful to you long
8:58
term
9:00
so if you are watching this and you are
9:02
over 30 or over 40 or over 50 make sure
9:06
that you are allowing your home to
9:08
evolve with you as your priorities
9:11
change and as things in your life change
9:14
let your home adapt with it so that you
9:17
always have a comfortable space that
9:20
you're getting the most out of so if
9:22
your interior is not working for you now
9:25
take small steps to move towards
9:27
something that you really like or really
9:29
love if there's something that you've
9:31
always wanted to do but you've had to
9:32
put it off for one reason or another
9:34
maybe you were helping take care of an
9:37
older generation and you now have the
9:40
space to refocus on yourself and sort of
9:44
invest in different pieces or remodel a
9:48
space that will work better for you go
9:51
ahead and do it because you do not have
9:53
to be pigeon ho hold to any design style
9:57
for the duration
9:59
make sure that your home changes and
10:01
evolves with you so that you always have
10:04
a comfortable and welcoming place to
10:06
