I’m weird, but I like colors and real wood tones. It just kind of hurts me to see literally everyone it seems, live in this ‘aesthetic’ where everything is pure white walls and grey fake wood floors. And how this scheme has taken over every home, office, and retail space.
I guess it’s the equivalent of how all 80% cars are gray scale now? (black, white, or a gray/silver shade). Why has color become so ‘offensive’ the past decade?
It’s so bad that I’ve had folks tell me my blue car is ‘weird’. and my home, which is wood trimmed/floored with maple stained wood, and off-white tints in each room, is ‘gross’. My bedroom’s are robin’s egg blue, and my kitchen and living room are an off white yellow. I love it, especially at night when I use the low-temp lighting and it’s warm instead of HARSH. Folks keep telling me how ‘old’ it looks and that i need to repaint everything BRIGHT white and then put that shitty grey flooring over everything. I hate them.
I think it’s already been out of fashion for a while, but it takes a while for that to be noticeable. Although landlords will probably keep painting over outlets with white paint until the end of time.
At least swapping out an outlet and outlet cover is an easy and cheap fix if you are the owner. $6, 10 minute job (per outlet). I find jobs like that the easiest to do, as whenever I’m feeling like I need to accomplish something, I can go hit one or two.
At my house I swapped all the light switches to these. Nice sturdy ‘clack’ feeling anytime you use one. Hate, hate, hate mushy switches (mushy switches are also a fire hazard).
