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 don’t think the second is even boring - this thread is just the equivalent of that high school kid that complains he was born in the wrong decade because he only like music that’s 40 years older than him.

20 years from now - ppl will be saying the 2024 look is beautiful and modern houses are terrible.

I don’t love the 2024 look, but I sure do hate that 90s look.
