I’m weird, but I like colors and real wood tones. It just kind of hurts me to see literally everyone it seems, live in this ‘aesthetic’ where everything is pure white walls and grey fake wood floors. And how this scheme has taken over every home, office, and retail space.
I guess it’s the equivalent of how all 80% cars are gray scale now? (black, white, or a gray/silver shade). Why has color become so ‘offensive’ the past decade?
It’s so bad that I’ve had folks tell me my blue car is ‘weird’. and my home, which is wood trimmed/floored with maple stained wood, and off-white tints in each room, is ‘gross’. My bedroom’s are robin’s egg blue, and my kitchen and living room are an off white yellow. I love it, especially at night when I use the low-temp lighting and it’s warm instead of HARSH. Folks keep telling me how ‘old’ it looks and that i need to repaint everything BRIGHT white and then put that shitty grey flooring over everything. I hate them.
Meanwhile, at my parents’ old house, I had painted a bedroom so each wall represented a different season, complete with a mural of a colorful tree losing leaves for the autumn side (since it’s my favorite season.)
When a couple bought it last year, they fell in love with it. My old “seasons” room is being turned into a nursery. My mom recently shared a post by the buyer with me, where she said something along the lines of, “Spending our first summer in our dream house!”
Thank goodness no “flippers” ever got their hands on it.
