Even RVs and campers are like this, its cancer. Mine was built in the early 90s and has such a awesome vibe.
I grew up using a 1975 fifth wheel trailer as a cottage and it was cozy as shit. The new ones are really uncomfortably reminiscent of the “studio” condos they’re building all over the country. Why do people think anyone wants to camp in that atmosphere?!
When we sold our house in the city 4 years ago, the realtor suggested we paint over our accent wall, and have all the walls in the house painted “reliable gray.” Apparently that’s the color that sells houses to white people.
Thanks HGTV.
Fuck me that’s literally the exact vinyl plank flooring in my apartment right now
Huge upgrade over the carpet I had originally though… Fuck carpet
Yeah carpet is nuts.
Why would you not want to cover your floor in something to trap all the dust and soak up any liquid which is impossible to clean.
sound/echo dampening.
There are better ways of doing that
Helps retain heat. The solution is a throw rug in the winter that you hose off in the spring though.
City apartment dweller here. My lease requires having carpet or rugs over a certain percentage of the floor area. It’s a basic necessity to avoid aggravating one’s neighbors on the floor below.
at one point we had carpet in our bathroom
Are you guys really such a stranger to vacuuming? I want lavishly plush carpeting in my house. Especially the bedroom.
You must not have allergies/pets. Vacuuming does not get your carpets clean enough, and steam cleaning your carpets often enough is a big hassle and time consuming.
Vacuuming doesn’t achieve much.
Are you a stranger to rugs that can be cleaned or replaced easily?
carpets in themselves are not the problem. even vacuumming wont get rid of all the dirt and possibly stains. thats why you have separate carpets on the floor you can take out and actually wash without having to rip out the entire floor
This was the answer to all beige/“off white” of the preceding decades.
When you sell a house, it needs to be as generic as possible, to appeal to as many people as possible. The staging furniture is suppose to take up the style slack. Except we made all the furniture gray, too. And, cars, for some reason.
Fucking gray cars, WTH?
Gray is the color you get when you mix all colors together. It’s literally the average of all colors. The least interesting, exact center of blandness. It’s the definition of “normal”. But, it also doesn’t distract from your phone. So, that’s a plus… for people trying to sell you crap.
All the colour in the ink cartridge was used up in the 70s and 80s, now it’s just black ink left, and not much of it.
Wait … there are microwaves and fridges in your luxury apartments? We bring our own!
Antebellum 2
Pre-war?
This country has been in a constant state of war since I was 14, I’m 38 now. We were out of war for like what? 6 months to a year before we started this clusterfuck?
Pre-WWIII, that’s the big one, fatty!
One day we’ll accept the seven years war as ww1.
Fatty? Certainly making some assumptions there lol.
But okay, even if it is WW3, with WW1 and WW2 we weren’t in a continuous near 30 year state of war leading up to those wars.
Never heard of the Indian Wars, huh
It was a King of the Hill reference
The American education system is worse than I imagined
It’s intentional, or they’d be on civil war nine by now.
Who does the president work for lol? We’ve been in WW3 for a hot minute.
Don’t worry, we could all probably lose a bit around the waist.
Who does the president work for? This one? Pretty much anyone that bribes him.
Nah lol, I was in a motorcycle wreck that damaged my intestines. I genuinely have a hard time getting enough calories due to pain pretty much anytime I eat solid food. So as far as schoolyard insults go, swing and a miss.
The president is a Russian asset and I was just poking fun because nobody on the Internet knows that you are a dog. It’s always sort of funny when people forget that. It’s better to brush that stuff off. Less a swing (as that’s nonsense) and more of a nudge nudge remember we are here to have fun.
But I do apologize if that was a trigger of some sort. Remember that everyone you’re talking to could be a statical probability. OP was using the word fatty as a little joke and doesn’t really know how much you weigh.
i know quite a few folks (myself included) who could probably stand to pack on a bit around the waist, but sure okay
That was implied by your username.
I’m not a fan of this, but I’m also not a fan of things that are so fashionable that I will not be able to look at them after a year or 2. So… I don’t know if I care enough.
I really like these kinds of designs:

It feels old timey, but somehow specific to geographical area/country. I guess, what I’m trying to say is that I like designs that have “character” whatever that means.
I’m thinking Greece or turkey
It already has a name
I’ve been calling it 21st Century Blah. Is there a name for the architecture that goes with it? They rebuilt the Taco Bell down the road and looks likes this inside and outside.
I love how the cover image is from the Epstein files, would’ve never expected it lmao
I remember the yuts raking millennials for their passion for grey.
I think the decades of stagflation makes everyone think they can resell whatever and it must be neutral to facilitate this eventual sale and escape from poverty.
I have served in the industry. This is exactly the rationale. I heard this one all the time: “But this isn’t our forever home. We’re only going to be in this house 20, maybe 25 more years. What if the new buyers don’t like it??? We have to make the safe choice.”
No statement. Only grey. Never mind that all four of those craptastic Frigidaire appliances in the picture will be scrap within six years anyway, if not less.
Also, people in niver neighborhoods than me have seemingly forgotten that stainless preceded the avocado and yellow appliances. Fashion is a flat cycle.
Same thing with cars.
They used to be really colorful and fun. Now I’m surprised when I see a red car.
I’m a millennial and it does appeal to me. It looks clean. Though I prefer the Nordic look.
Uff, the picture used in the article is from the Epstein Files.
The trump files.
Image source: FBI lol
Lol thats cray
I think that makes perfect sense in an article titled Millennial Gray
My wife and I call this “sad beige”
U-taupe-ia
at one point it was even in the article:
https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Millennial_grey&diff=prev&oldid=1365776291
Our house at first looked like this, mostly because we couldn’t agree on colors. The bedroom area is still quite desaturated, but the living area and kitchen are much more colorful now.
why millenials have no taste - Answer in Progress (bait title: they can’t afford to have taste)
The aesthetic of whatever will replace fallout games of the future.
Ugh - I can’t express how much I hate this. It’s not clean or sterile, just… straight lines dingy. Eeyore as an interior design aesthetic.
As a certified Old Fart™, it’s better than the colored porcelain bathrooms of the 70s and 80s…
Chrome was shiny & futuristic, so stainless steel appliances looked sleek and modern when they were first introduced, but now that they’re everywhere they look drab and sterile. I’m waiting for things to shift back the opposite direction where everything will have integrated LED panels and the whole kitchen will glow in RGB like a desktop computer rig. (Honestly, I don’t know if that would be terrible or awesome.)
Eeyore is quite often purple or blue nowadays
For shame dragging Eeyore into this dingy millennial Epstein shit
They are made to look like steel, because good quality steel is expensive as compared to the materials they use in it.
The flooring?
IDK what that BS is. I’d rather have granite, which is again, a luxury because it is hard to machine.
