WHY do so many of these houses I'm looking at have grey floors?

[Anonymous]

I won't buy a house with grey floors. It's so incredibly depressing. I don't understand why so many houses have it. And I even like grey walls well enough! But the floors.

Because it was trendy for awhile, and then when it was no longer trendy, it was cheap.

All the flippers did that for a while.

That makes sense. I get it that people can have different tastes from me. But I'm finding it hard to believe that sooo many people like something that I have as negative of a reaction to as I do grey floors.

How gray? Ours is pretty neutral with a touche to avoid making it look orange or yellow

It depends on the shade and material for me. I like weathered grey hardwood in a cabin. Our beach place has ceramic planks that are a warmish pale griege, and we have found it to be a very flexible color. But I dislike a lot of the grey floors I’ve seen. It wouldn’t keep me from buying a house, though.

Gray is the hallmark of a cheap flip. Gray walls, gray floors. I've seen listings for flips that were nothing but black and white photos even though they were taken in color! I'm sure most of these gray floors are laminate or LVP and can be easily swapped out. The real crime is flippers putting gray LVP over real hardwood.

Rip it out and replace if you’re bothered, OP.

That was done to my grandma's custom built home from the 1960s. The second owners kept the hardwood. The third owners did grey LVP.

Gray has had a chokehold on millennials for years.

I want to replace some.old laminate in our house but most of the laminate and lvp still has gray tones and I just don't want it. Would look really bad with the houses original oak floors.

I see a lot of cool flooring on the web, but it's on the UK!

They’re hideous. And I’m a millennial with gray walls! But those floors give cheap flip. And don’t get me started on a gray kitchen.

So you want to go back to the yellow oak floors or the cherry cabinets? Gray is neutral as a canvas allowing for variety in adding color to a space.
