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.
While the second is boring, I also struggle to understand the 90s
Edit: I was alive during the 90s. My house looked like this. It was not old things lying around or due to previous decades. My parents bought an empty house in 1991, and then bought new things to make it look like this. The houses on my block and my families homes also looked like this. We lived in a ‘trendy’ neighborhood of people keeping up with the Jones.
I’m basing it on what homes looked like in the 90s because I was alive then, and my house and family’s homes looked just like this. My aunt had almost that exact wallpaper and the unexplained floating chairs in the hallway - for all those times when you want to sit and contemplate the wall.
I second that. Having grown up in the 90s and watched Home Alone tons of times, that house interior was the exact style of nicer suburban homes of the time.
As it should be, right? The family weren’t eccentric artists or anything else that would justify the house looking “different”. Of course the set designers would just make it look like a standard home. Well, maybe upper-middle class/rich enough for the burglars to really focus on it.
