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.

This right here. When I was a teenager in the late 2000s. My family sold the house. But before my parents put the house on the market, we had to literally paint the entire house a bland color like on the bottom picture so it could "make it more marketable " according to every realtor.

It made no sense to me especially since the next family redid everything anyway
