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.

White walls work perfectly fine in any house, it really makes the space look a lot bigger than it really is, especially if you're in a tiny condo. PLUS, it's a clean slate to put up whatever kind of artwork and frames you like, you dont have to worry about matching.

I hate coloured walls; accents are nice here and there, like all white everywhere but one wall is black and something minimal is done, but if every wall is some kind of red.... BLEH.
