People with actual taste
And this was "good"?
>>2954522Looks like the same house after 40 years and a the latest reno
The pink one looks great for a visit, but it would probably be too much to live in
>>2954520I can smell the tobacco stank here>>2954522Clean, light, comfy
>>2954522It's always the gray and the fake wooden tiles, just why?
>>2954539It's always the grayGray is the new white. It is a neutral color.>and the fake wooden tilesVinyl click lock flooring is some of the cheapest flooring available. The material cost is a bit more than some other types but it installs faster.
>>2954533>comfyI don't feel it. In rooms like that feel ancious to do anything that falls under 'daily life' because it could leave crumps or stains. I also feel visually impaired.
>>2954520The problem with this is that it has character, meaning some people will really like it and some people won't. So it messes with the resale value which is the most important thing about a property is its value as an investment.>>2954522Is nicely IKEA catalog neutral.
>>2954533>Clean, light, comfyThat's a nah from me bro... Large, cavernous and open with a ton of wasted space doesn't scream comfy to me...
>>2954520It only looks good in the soft lit photo, in reality its still made of the same cheap sheet rock and the trim is gold plated plastic that flakes off with time.I wonder what the western world will look like in the future though now that we're officially a collapsing empire.
>>2954520looks cool, would spend a weekend there drinking and doing coke>>2954522comfy, would live here
>>2954533>vinyl>comfyDisgusting.
>>2954520Color scheme. OPs looks like 1980's swingers club.
>>2954533>I can smell the tobacco stank hereThat is the real comfy
>>2954522I sure as hell didn't, I want COLOR in my house!!! They can take my wood paneled walls from the charred remains of the foundation!
>>2954596>would spend a weekend there drinking and doing cokeBased
>>2954522Millennial grey
>>2954539It's psyops to demoralize the population, making it easier to manipulate into buying "new thing" to maybe feel joy at some point. There is never any joy and always a new, different new thing to buy.
>>2954520>Who decided this was "bad"?The people who thought it was good when they stopped doing coke.
>>2954522Who said this was good?
>>2954522no soul>>2954520no more blow
>>2954520As someone who grew up in a 1980s Florida mcmansion decked out with fake chrome and black/white formica everywhere I appreciate the style but you're fooling yourself if you think this is classic or transcendent in any way.>>2954522Everything in this photo is generic imported junk. Nobody is making any money off it. If Brand wants you to consoom Product it is easier to sell when everyone's shit looks the same. This way your living space consists of Kitchenaid Mixer, Samsung TV, Roomba docking station, etc. and nobody gives a fuck what anything looks like as long as it's new and clean and not dirty wall to wall carpet with cigarette burns and potato chip crumbs everywhere. Absence of style is the new style.
>>29545201990
>>2956366>gaggle of servants not included style
real answer: housing became a commodity.
I'm partial to the rustic-chic style, pic related is the house of breaking bad's "science, bitch!" guy
Lave Lamps? :)pro-tip, THREE LLs in a row is how the pros do it, for reasons.
>>2957093that hearth is insane. his archtetical digest episode was neat, not sure what the the bunk bed crazy is about seems like something you should rent not have built in. so many celebs put in bunk beds like its a sleep away camp or something,
>>2957095>not sure what the the bunk bed crazy is abouthe did say it's used by children and drunk adults, so it's mostly for sleepovers or for party guests. It's cool for kids imo, but I had no idea this was a trend among rich people and it would make a lot less sense for a childless couple
>>2957100Not sure it's wise to mix drunk people with bunk beds.
>>2954520Someone decided that was bad?
>>2954520Eventually the cocaine runs out.
>>2954554>The problem with this is that it has character"Character" is what you get with a log cabin. This is "80s vice city drug lord chic."
>>2955754Fuck off, millennials don't like this. Call it what it is, Flipper Grey.
>>2955754>Millennial>being a property owner
>>2957410>Median home buyer is currently 59
>>2954520Stylish lines, colorful, elegant, graceful, made with taste>>2954522Flat, dull, generic, boring, pure slopchitecture
>>2954520>>2954522I honestly don't know why people like bright lighting so much.Much prefer a dimly lit lounge over a well lit fucking doctor's office.
>>2954522This becomes shittier the more I look at it.>3 million lights on the ceiling (good luck keeping all of them working)>unnecessary use of glass everywhere (accidents waiting to happen, also very expensive since these pieces are custom made)>pots embedded in the floor structure (can't move them and brings all kinds of moisture and filtration problems)>bad placement of said plants>vinyl floor with shitty uneven patternSlopchitecture at it's finest.Less is more.
I hate houses where everything feels flimsy, fragile, overly clean.I was raising on a farm so I guess I'm just used to living roughly but damn, houses are meant to live in, not to tiptoe around
>>2954520people can't afford the drugs to go with that style anymore
>>2957539>3 million lights on the ceiling (good luck keeping all of them working)LED spots usually don't fail all that often.
>>2954593It will look like Russia. Now there’s a country in need of HGTV
>>2957094An Oscar and a couple of Emmy’s.

>>2954520Sovl
>>2957841They fail all the time, they couldn't sell you new lights if they weren't awful pieces of shit. I got one burned out in my bedroom right now. Lasted 8 years.
>>2954522they want your home to not feel like a home, to feel uncomfortable and alien and depressing -- so you venture out into the world and spend money.
>>2957996Same gray and bland 'modern' trend over there anon
>>2957996so, a very minor improvement?
>>2957248>80s vice city drug lord chicThat would be the character it evokes
>>2954520The amount of whining about what other people like. Like what you like and let others like what they like. The fuck you care? >>2959782You don't really understand what a shithole Russia is. Eastern Europe is civilised compared to that.
>>2958070I don't think it's that. Homes like the second picture are only popular among people who have jobs where they work from home. Working from home wouldn't be so popular if The Man wanted people to constantly be going out. Instead, they want people's new home offices to look like regular offices.
>>2960015>Working from home wouldn't be so popular if The Man wanted people to constantly be going out.Or it's popular because you can save a ton of money on gas and vehicular wear and tear, can be just as productive as in-office, or more so because you can control your environment, and getting little home tasks or errands done is a lot easier.
>>2954520for me it's the living room orgy pit.
>>2960080I would not be able to resist the urge to turn this into a ball pit…
>>2960080Wonder how those are built. Does that extend down into what would otherwise be the house's crawl space? If it's a slab, is it going down into the ground? Are there problems with moisture? Or is the rest of the room built up over the floor, with only the conversation pit being at the floor level?
>>2954520basically all decisons about that come from faggots and entitled bitches, use whatever the fuck you want and like, fuck the tendencies
>>2960086ball pit, is that easier to clean than a foam pit?
When houses became investments rather than living spaces where the occupant was free to express himself.
>>2960316Yes. There are vacuums and machines specifically for cleaning ball pits and the balls. Foam degrades and can't really be cleaned.
>>2960134The miller house's pit is definitely below ground level. Outside pictures show that it's built on a slab, it's very flush with ground. You can see the formwork around the pit. I'm sure it's poured right against the ground as is, I don't think people put insulation against the ground or trenching back then. In some areas the soil penetrates water like a motherfucker and no shanty shack ever begins to mold
>>2960134>>2960080Is that literally the same room?
>>2960319One of the many things I hate about modern basedciety. All the fucking bullshit unsolicited real estate and decorating advice normgroids give you, for trendiness and resale value.>i'm the one who's paying for this and who lives here, not you, so go take a fucking hikeI've lived long enough to know that in periods of strong demand, buyers don't give a shit about all the design choices anyway. Live how you want.
>>2957430>59So older Gen X
>>2960547It was 39 15 years ago.
>>2960134I wish I could say. Me and my bro were goofing on these houses under construction back then, mostly also "tri-level" in hills of Menlo Park, CA.I'd guess those were all joist and framed.
