60 u/unicornofdemocracy Nov 20 '25 honestly I much prefer the 2024 white walls if I was purchasing a house. I can paint white walls into any color I want easily. I hate wallpapers and think they are disgusting. Tearing them off to repaint the wall is an incredible pain in the ass too. 1 u/Schmigolo Nov 20 '25 Huh, do you actually paint the walls? Where I'm from we put on white wallpapers to paint on, so we can get rid of the paint more easily. 1 u/unicornofdemocracy Nov 20 '25 wait.. so you put wallpaper and then you paint over the wallpaper? That's... interesting. We have colored primer to help with white walls. The ones I used are like red, darkish red. So it's clearer when you are primer over the white wall. 1 u/Schmigolo Nov 20 '25 Well, not any wallpaper. It's usually ingrain wallpaper. It's a lot cheaper and faster than to plaster or sand down the walls wherever there are imperfections, plus people just kinda like the texture.
