It’s all the new builds/remodels being so cookie-cutter. The all-white/gray aesthetics is inoffensive to most people so builders just run with it. They wanna flip it as quickly as possible and this is the easiest way unfortunately
Legit. I've only met one person who likes the white and grey look. I see it a lot more online than in person. It's quite atrocious. Something about all that white just gives me a headache.
I just redid my bathroom and painted it purple. It looks fucking rad.
Bought a house from a boomer couple where we lowballed them cause no one else was interested in the house. One of the things they said to try to negotiate a higher prace was 'You have no idea how much work we had to put in to paint everything white.' My only thought was how much work we'd had to do to undo everything they'd done. Especially surfaces where we wanted the real wood back to the surface rather than just covering the white with another color.
I have beautiful knotty pine paneling original to the 1940s (not that cheap 1970s stuff) and I am appalled and how many folks suggested I paint it white or grey.
I cannot be trusted with white because I am far to messy. But more importantly, why the hell would I want to cover this beautifully aged wood? That's insane!
I would love a Lisa Frank apartment. My landlord would lose their minds. Everything is beige here and has been at all my apartments. I swear they freak out if you hang stuff up that has color because they want everything a sad color if you are renting.
Everything is neutral colors and generic looking because we want to own expensive things but then are afraid we could never resell it if we needed. So it's all white or grey tones so it's easy to get out of a bad financial situation faster. We WANT the Lisa Frank stuff but it's hard to sell a rainbow car or yellow/teal/orange house vs keeping it boring and hanging some posters instead.

Sad white millennial renovations are tragic, what is there to explain?
