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.
Honestly I’ve started thinking the House Reno videos I see online are pure rage bait. I see so many videos of people coming in and tearing out good quality materials, beautiful structures with personality, warmth, and color. They tear all of this out and make everything bland, boring, soulless grey and white. The comments sections are always absolutely flooded with people raging about how awful it looks compared to what it was before and the owners responding all smug like “whatcha gonna do about it? Our place our rules”
