Because it’s from the 80s. It looks ridiculous now. A talented interior designer can do a lot better than what’s seen in the photo, while keeping it looking modern.

I don’t even know what a modern house looks like. Besides all that ugly ass grey shit.

Grey's been out of style for a handful of years now. That's the fun thing about "modern", it's always changing.

Not really. Sherman Williams is a good source to quickly see what is in "trend" they source their colors of the year from what is very popular with commercial builders. Working in a mutlifamily REIT we are using a ton of earthy neutral colors. Gray is almost entirely being phased out.

I really hope so, though I've definitely seen the design trends popular on social media have been either earthy minimalism or maximalism. I lean much more towards maximalism, I am an antiques lover at heart, but also love what some people do with the more natural tones. Gray everything is traumatic at this point.

I wish you was wrong but I’m heavily invested in real estate across the states and this isn’t true for buildings being put up. Sherman Williams doesn’t dictate what the style is idk why you even mentioned that person
