Anyone read that in Hank Hill’s voice? It even feels in character with how into that whole neighborhood parade of homes competition thing he was.
I will never understand people that paint hardwoods or natural stone with white paint.
That whole phase where everyone was painting their kitchens white killed me. That ruined so many gorgeous cabinets.
I like the height and thickness of the couch back pillows on the right. End of list of positive changes. Replacing the carpet was probably a good move too, but they did it wrong.
Levels, Jerry!
The modern obsession with hard flooring (in reality: laminate) is whatever. There is, however, something almost comical about surrounding a central pit with all smooth surfaces, and then choosing a hard, pointy, rectangular table as the centerpiece.
I think this soulless monochrome room could use a splash of red.
Whoever decided to put a rectangular table in a curved space is completely unqualified to make design decisions.
That table is going to demand so many legs in sacrifice…
Bullshit. Someone just used an ai filter on a picture for internet points.
The AI even kept the CRT TV in the “after” pic lmao
Nothing says Modern Decor like a CRT TV
CRTs are peak for retro gaming
But I can’t imagine the kind of person who would love retro gaming would destroy such a beautiful room like this
Nice dentist’s waiting room you’ve created, you soulless ghouls.
Only issue with the left photo is the carpet. Replace it with plank/tile and it’s all good.
Wood paneling needs to go too
Wood paneling is so pretty though!
The original version was so peak, though. Now, it looks depressing :(
The first one has character, it has SOUL.
The second one went with soulless landlord chic. It has no character anymore.
For someone who is not on the usa. How does this structure look like beneath? Is there really space wasted to have some part of the room at a little lower level?
I’ve never been in a house with a conversation pit, almost no Americans have actually seen one. They’re a leftover from the 60s and 70s when people were high on coke or “weight loss” pills.
I’m fine with the 2010s era minimalist decor.
But painting over stone and high quality wood panels is crazy. If you want the minimalist look, then this wasn’t the house you start with. Fucking Beetlejuice ass joists.
Fucking Beetlejuice ass joists.
LOL i knew the room reminded me of something!
Did millennials all just become color blind? It’s all black, white, and grey with their color schemes.
Millennial here. I just remodeled my kitchen and bathroom. It was a fucking battle to get my wife to agree to wood cabinets instead of bland white or millennial blue. I got her to agree to a deep sea blue tile for one shower wall because almost everything else in the bathroom was white or grey.
Most people don’t have originality or any sense of color, so they look online and see these sterile white rooms that photograph well but lack character. They just mimic what they see because it’s easier than having actual preferences.
Did millennials all just become color blind?
it’s more like colorfulness is connected to a hopeful outlook on life, and grayscale thinking occurs when people have depression …
No, I don’t think that is why. There have been much more depressing times in the past and those were just as colorful as any other time. I think the thing that has most influenced the color palette of millennials, or rather the lack of, is the rise of the internet and social media. People don’t want to stand out and be mocked for being different. Especially in a climate where being different can actually cost you quite a bit. I believe this is especially true of interior decorators and designers who often set the trends for people to use.
There’s also something to be said for an extreme backlash to the home makeover shows that were all the rage back in the late aughts. I think a lot of people still have trauma from the “experimental” bullshit that some of those designers did to their “clients” all in the name of chasing ratings.
They painted the stone? 🤢
(You know, assuming that this isn’t ai)
People actually paint bricks, and it disturbs me. Bricks are so porous, and so unpainting them is an ordeal to say the least. I never understood painting brick. Brick looks nice. They made them look nice right from the brickyard.
Yeah, I see so much sandblasted brick these days from removing paint. I mean, it does look better than paint, but it’s so worn looking. Painting bricks is just a horrible idea.
