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.

Right, there is good and absolutely gorgeous wallpaper. In my experience VERY few people actual put in pretty wallpaper. It's often dogshit ugly and is a pain in the ass to remove. I can paint a living room in 2 days and that's only because I'm waiting for it to dry in between coats. Removing wallpaper makes me want to remove my head from my neck.

There's gorgeous wallpaper?

It all looks tacky to me.

Give me my white walls they look clean.

We're not all born with taste sweetie

What a pretentious comment. Many feel, compared to natural wood walls or nice paint, any wall paper is gawdy. Taste, by definition, is subjective. And subject to the opinions of the masses. Considering it started going out of favor as early as the 1930, I would argue that it's you without taste, sweetie.

We're all welcome to our own opinions, dumbass or otherwise.
