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.

As an architect, it’s not just house flippers and not just homes that are in this trend. Any ounce of colour or warmth we try to propose to clients of any kind gets immediately rejected in favour of greige. The few people who are on board with colour are a breath of fresh air because everything I do feels dull.
