In this video, I go over some unnecessary furniture that you might think you need, that you actually don't! If you love these pieces and you think they have functional use in your home - awesome! But don't think that you actually need all of them.

Nick doesn't get enough credit for being a comedy channel. I laugh out loud multiple times per video each video. "Unless you really love the look of displaying your alcoholism, you have at it!" I snorted.

“Then you realize you don’t even like 32 people”…. 🙋🏽♀️
-
"They're not coming, honey; they're not coming." HYSTERICAL. I love Nick's advice, his aesthetic, and his general brilliance, but his humor is a whole other level of entertainment. Thank you!!!

We've just wrapped up the process of buying a new home, and I swear - the real purpose of those "towel ladders" is to let real estate agents hide the fact that the bathroom is so badly designed there isn't a place to put so much as a hand towel next to the sink.
-
I love that you talk about NOT needing things instead of just telling the world that they need to buy everything that’s beautiful or trendy. such a breath of fresh air 🙌
-
Thank you for constantly pushing for pragmatic design, reality of normal people's lives, and practicality of spaces 🙏

When my kids were little I went all out for almost every holiday. A few years ago I just got tired and decided to pull way way back. My son (now 14) said a few days ago "mom, you don't do as much for holidays anymore ". My heart kind of sunk and I asked him if it bothered him. He said "oh no way, we still have tons of fun!" Sometimes we are needlessly guilted into overconsumerism.

I am an unabashed lover of my built-in shelves, but I also have a VAST personal library so the shelves are completely functional. It was actually less expensive for us to get custom built-ins than try to find pre-built shelves in sufficient quantity for our books!
-
That creaking bar cart impression was spot on!
-
“They’re not coming, honey” 😂 No to bar carts because dust. Like MAYBE a person ACTUALLY comes over and before you make them a drink you’ve gotta clean the glass that’s been sitting out for 6 months
-
The short folks need us some footstools! Our feet don't touch the floor on all the tall & deep couches. also, putting feet up feels so nice! Not saying we need one for every seat though.
-
“Unless you really love the look of displaying your alcoholism”🤣🤣🤣 I never knew this was a thing until my real estate agent asked us to put away all the alcohol displayed in our wet-bar. 🤣🤣 Love the way you put it Nick💕

As someone who hates visual clutter, all of these open storage pieces are an easy "no" for me. They can look pretty in photos where everything is impeccably styled, but no one lives in a perfectly curated, styled environment. Thank you for always making the distinction between the fantasy we see in photos and what's functional in the real world.

I think my mom has mastered the “seasonal decor” changing - she swaps out a front door wreath to match the season, and has a little bowl on the mantle that she will put different things in for the seasons: eggs, pumpkins, pinecones, etc. She recently got some little mini trees that she puts on the porch, and decorated those to go with the season as well. And that’s about it! Just enough of a change to be fun, but not redecorating the whole space.
-
The bar cart sound omg. "They're not coming over, honey!" I agree with all of it, but the built-ins are nice and can be made with a budget if you have the DIY skills.
-
Funny and helpful - thanks Nick! I have a couple to add: - wine fridge (unless drinking a lot of wine all the time) - guest bedrooms (how often are guests overnight? just add a sleeper sofa and use that room for something you'll do often) - huge coffee tables, especially with sharp corners (why? just why?) - buffet tables or giant cupboards in dining room (prob don't remember what is even in there or use it)
-
I cannot express this strongly enough: you and I have vastly different tastes and I tend toward the traditional, the used, the scruffy, the antique, BUT: honestly I subscribed to this channel, and I stay subscribed, because you are one of the most charming and articulate (and practical) communicators of taste I have even seen. I agree with most of your choices (as a spectator; remember I don't have many of the products you talk about) but the thing that keeps me coming back is you yourself. Never change!

I'm actually on the hunt for a vintage brass & glass bar cart at the moment - but for my plants! 😂 I think it's a gorgeous way of displaying them and also super easy to move when I am cleaning. As someone who's always propagating like... 5000 different things... I think I fall under the category of "a bar cart makes sense" 😂

We had a flood in the basement and lost quite a bit of stuff. In the end, it was a blessing in disguise because it made us really look at the things we lost and ask "Do we really need to replace it?" In the end we have learned to live with less. Especially now that retirement is a few years away, we are more mindful of not wanting to accumulate "stuff" - only to need to downsize again.

Always love your videos but this is one of my favorites so far. Really appreciate you raising the point about over consumption - it's wasteful, polluting, expensive, and you're exactly right: we just don't need this stuff! I'm sure there are whole academic papers on the sociology around why we have leaned so far into trying to be perfect hosts with perfect homes, but it actually helps to have a designer assure you it isn't needed aesthetically or otherwise. 10/10 Thank you! ❤
