Pretty sure these are just Wes Anderson screen shots.


I’m the burnt Sienna poster from before. Top pic is what the color looks like. It’s not actually orange.


They ruined this apartment with the paint! My eyes!


NP.

I like it. White and Greige are sooooo boring and basic. Who can't make a greige room look nice? All you need is a credit card and an Internet connection and anyone can replicate a Pottery Barn room. It takes true ability to pull of a stylish colorful room like these.


LOL. These rooms are fugly. White and grieve might be basic, but these rooms are garish and look terrible. The first room looks like something a cat puked up.

Fake, plastic shutters and the traditional insulated front entry door with sidelights on either side. Almost every home has it....nuts.

No, everyone does not. While we didn't paint all the walls a bold color, especially in darker rooms (I dislike dark rooms, especially bathrooms), we did paint some of the rooms green, blue, pink (daughter's rooms) and yellow. My kitchen is green.

I dislike grey rooms. So boring and monochrome.

It's funny because for the longest time, my wardrobe was the opposite, pretty monochrome.

I have lots of color in my house and love it!


My bedroom has deep dark grey walls and lots of white accents

My kids' room has pink and white striped accent walls (One big wall and the small one adjacent because it was a weird shape haha), and the rest are a deep navy

My kitchen is turquoise

My living room and dining room are yellow

I LOVE these! I love that color is coming back into style. I just said this in the controversial opinion thread but lack of color only indicates lack of design ability. A true designer incorporates color and interesting artwork, textures, antiques, etc.

The homes people love on these boards look like they're straight out of Pottery Barn and West Elm (which I guess goes along with the dumb "modern farmhouse" trend and barn doors, puke). Basic AF. Not sophisticated in the least.


Color has never been out of style. But things being what they are, people don't want OTHER people to choose their colors for them. And because most house tours are of houses put up for sale, you see more neutrals to appeal to the largest possible pool of buyers. I mean would YOU want to sell something that only appeals to like 5% of the buyer pool? People put up their own sophistication after they buy but hell I don't want to pay for somebody else's choice of colors thank you very much.

Ew. The definition of basic. No thank you.

I would rather have a house that has personality than a house that looks like everyone else's - like a follower. Middle school is over, ladies.

I just painted my dining room a sapphire blue and my bathroom an emerald green. I personally cannot stand any shades that are pastel or pale of any color, but bold colors I can get on board with.

Wow, do you say that about other countries? That's racist.
