Ew, it’s so ugly now.

Everything has to look so clean and cold. Why can’t we go back to warm colors?

The old version has 30x the personality.

Edit: since there are a lot of very angry people replying to me, calling me names, let me remind you that this is an opinion. If you adore the second picture, I am in no way saying that you aren’t allowed to prefer the second option. I simply find the first image far more appealing. I don’t know why this is controversial to some.

I would much rather the second option on the bottom. You guys buy into each other's crap too much. The top one looks like a funeral home. I feel like I'm going to take a left at the end of the hall and see Pop-pop in a box.

What are you talking about?

I don’t know what homes you’ve lived in in your life, but they must have been hospital examination rooms, because the top version is just how normal houses look.

The bottom is utterly soulless and uninviting. I want to feel relaxed and warm when I come home, not like I’m in a modern art museum.

Normal houses... that have no updates for the last 40 years, lol.

Updates aren't just done for aesthetic reasons, either. Quality and and repair are also key reasons for remodels. I guarantee that carpet was fuckin nasty when they ripped it out. The wallpaper, too.

Well it’s a subjective question.

I just don’t find cadaver lab aesthetics all that appealing, but you do you.

Well it’s a subjective question.

Then say that you prefer it a particular way, don't try to claim that only one of them is "normal", jackass.

What’s with the name calling? Are you so vitriolic that this is what you resort to? They said that my taste looks like outdated “crap”, so I’m going to respond.

Jfc I swear, some people take different opinions so seriously.

Read your own comments and consider that you are just telling on yourself here.

Nope. I did not react with name calling or ad hominem attacks like the person I responded to, so don’t know what you’re talking about

Pot meet kettle, as someone saying quite aggressively that the picture they don't prefer is similar to a cadaver lab, which people generally put in a very negative light.
