Hey everyone! Two weeks ago, I went on a field trip to the New York Design Center with Erika Wasser and the folks from YouTube Spaces to point out some of the bigger trends we're seeing at Apartment Therapy across the furniture and design landscape.
In other words, this is what I've learned from watching all of you share your homes and from watching all of our editors and contributors share their curatorial eyes. This is the first time I've done this with someone else on video - take a look and tell me what you think.

Is there a non-video version of this? Much prefer reading to forced watching. Thanks.
Me too-- looking forward to a recap :)
Me three :)
Me four.
like the visuals of the video, but a recap would be great!
"Vintagey" and "new-old" not for me. I like real-old, or new-new. The room that had a little of everything looked like just so much clutter to me.
I did like the stone lamp.
I agree. I don't want to watch the ads either.
Or perhaps some subtitles for your deaf or hard-of-hearing readers?
I hate videos, waiting for the recap!
Just thought I'd join the chorus: I hate videos too.
It's interesting seeing high-end showrooms like Baker taking design leads from those of us who strive for more affordable design (the mix and match dining room chair set). Thanks for sharing!
...I like videos
I think in this case the dining room chairs looked ridiculous. There were just too many different ones and having them in pairs that way did not work.
Another vote against videos.
im undecided on the videos. but i liked this one better than the usual 1 minute tips, that everyone already knows, or I could read in 30 seconds.
i dont get the shiny upholstery, how long will it stay shiny for? will the shininess eventually come off on your pants after 10 years....?
I like the videos so I can see a more detailed view of the furniture and accessories. However, it's nice to have a recap of the story for a quick read when I don't have time to watch a video.
HATE videos and will not watch.
Another vote against videos, especially ones with so little real learning content. This was just an ad to buy stuff. I know AT has to make money, but I don't like being talked to as if I have to follow trends or buy stuff. I much prefer a home that is curated from the stuff we're given and we've found.
I think the video is nice new perspective, but only as supplementary to a written article. It somehow lowers the tone and feels a bit more like an ad.
I found it interesting to see the actual showrooms rather than just styled photos. Really makes me appreciate how people select pieces and incorporate them into their own setting as I didn't like the overall look of any of the showroom set ups.
Love eclectic style but not those dining room chairs. Looked like hand me downs or Craigslist rejects. There's a time and place for mismatched chairs (recently divorced, going to college) but nothing I'd actually purchase on purpose.
Eff yeah videos!! More please :-)
I don't mind the video, but I wasn't a fan of the way it was shot. This is gonna sound like one of the frequent criticisms of home tours, but...too many close ups! I found it sort of visually frustrating, if that makes any sense.
Oh, and like most people, I though they did a really poor job of styling that table. The mismatched chair thing can be cute, but not like that!
Also waiting for the recap.
The dining room chairs looked like they were given to the dining room occupants by their parents or in-laws! Definitely looked like thrift shop material. And what he was referring to as "gem tones" were retreads from the 70's! Avocado? please, spare me this!
Along with most of the other posters, I would've preferred reading this, with accompanying still photos, rather than having to watch the video. Thanks.
I really enjoyed that video. I loved the last "room" with those sort of colorful splat things on the walls. I like the linen-covered sofas, but I don't think they would be practical for me. Thanks for the tour.
How come AT never responded to all of us who said we didn't like having to watch a video?
