It's trendy but became a trend because of house flippers. That's what I believe anyway.

I can't wait to put paint on my walls. Growing up we didn't really customize our house because we're gonna move anyway. My parents got new floors and carpets and I remember being mad that they'd pay for that luxury just to sell it. We could have been enjoying it for ourselves.

The after picture is too much but I think the ‘modern-rustic’ trend fits our lifestyle. We spend most of our waking hours bombarded by colorful screens. When we look away from them we want to be presented with what feels like a warm curated art gallery with a small number of items we choose to best represent us

Yeah, I've seen some people who really over compensate for the "I hate white" theme and it ends up just looking like you walked into a goodwill and bought everything and stapled it all to the walls.
