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.
Pic 1 - contemporary home of a Ukrainian oligarch.Pic 2 - entrance Vagabond Inn, Miami
>>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.
>>2960080>>2960134
>>2961493that's the good shit
Ooh, new McMansion hell. And it's a pretty new place built in 23.https://mcmansionhell.com/post/800217589248819200/chud-atlantis
>>2960547What's with the trend of categorizing everyone into generation groupings?
>>2954520A bit tacky and outdated.>>2954522Soulless and modern-feminine.
>>2954533>comfy
>>2964346>tacky and outdated.lol you could never live in a place like this you fucking loser.
>>2954520This was good.
>>2954522This is bad.
>>2954520nobody, the creator of the style died young of aids
Are we just going to ignore that both examples are ugly as sin?
>>2965176If she lost the stupid bottle bleach blonde hair, over manicured (painted on?) eyebrows, stupid overinflated lips, and about 5lbs of makeup, she would probably be knockout gorgeous... She can keep the fake hooters. I don't mind those!
>>2965781>if she was completely different person, she'd be beautiful
>>2954520Cyberpunk decided to use those aesthetics as the bad guys' lairs.
>>2965783>>if she was completely different person, she'd be beautifulNah I said she could keep the tits... Do you even read anon?
>>2954522> Millennial grey It encapsulates the sterility and lost future of millennials.
>>2954520Looks like where your parents and a couple friends made you. >>2954522Looks like a waiting room at a hotel.
>>2965843It's not millennials doing this shit, it's flippers, mainly boomers, who do it because "genericizing" a house maximizes profits.
>>2960543gigabased. There's nothing gayer than someone paying 1-2k/month for a home and being afraid of picking the 'wrong' color that some other homo theyve never met doesnt like.
>>2955756its nice to have super bland interiormakes the outside more vibrant and encourages you to get out of the house
>>2961493i like italian mid centits sort like american but more gaudy with traditional style mixed
>>2955756>psyopsAnother word that's lost all useful meaning.
>>2961493>couches stiff as rock with scratchy material>coffee table so tiny you can't reach from the ends of the coach or play board games on it
>>2957093>wearing a hat indoors>baby head uncovered>ceiling too high>cold houselol
>>2957248Ok beard oil guy
>>2954554Not buying a house to live in is a shame. With all this resell talk people never mentally own anything. Kinda sad.
>>2954554nobody passes up on a house because of the decor or architectural style. real estate is all location, location location, then square footage and lot quality which are a distant second.
>>2966089The "resale value" of this house can suck my balls, I'm painting the rooms whatever fucking color I want and I might even punch a few holes in the walls for my electric trains to roll through.
>>2959782LOL I swear my aunts apartment look just like this
>>2954520The issue with this is the lighting is almost intoxicating. If you’re a junkie I’m sure this is comfortable. I’ll never understand why people go for the shitty blue LED vibe. Your pic is a bit different with that couch and the rug but same nauseating overstimulating vibe.>>2954522This is just calm. It’s too bland for me, would look better without the grey and more off white / almost cream colors and darker wood grains, better couch set up better coffee table. Essentially needs to look more rustic Mediterranean than this weird hospital shit. The floor is also done wrong or whatever they used looks weird and artificial like you can’t help but notice it.>changesDark wood laminate floor>cream colored couch, more couch>wood coffee table>no grey walls>neutral white color walls maybe a couple accent walls>no LED lights, amber incandescent bulbs>art on walls>remove the glass>non carpeted stairs>ditch snake plants on left side of stairs, use bamboo or more of the palm tree looking plant on the right side>kitchen gets almost jade green but redone so it doesn’t have that glossy look, something that looks Tuscan / brickIt’s just too square and bland. It looks try hard and unnatural. It gives a weird almost ghost town vibe. It’s like it’s going for a minimalism vibe but missing the entire point
>>2954520Iv seen this before and its not a house I think it's the GM corp office. its called "Progress" and this was it in 1980 but the original office was built in the late 50s or early 60s during the Swinging era.sunk in living areas were the big thing back then. kind of like a Den for Swingers to swing
>>2954522those are called Open Tread Stairs and babies would crawl up or down them and then crawl between the stairs and get caught and hung up or fall to the floor sometimes at a hieght that would kill themCalifornia was one of the first "Nanny States" >copy pasted law1012.10.1 Guardrails. Guardrails shall be provided on the open sides of stairways and landings that are more than 30 inches (762 mm) above the floor or grade below. Guardrails shall be not less than 36 inches (914 mm) in height measured vertically from the nosing of the tread to the top of the guardrail.
>>2957093big houses like this aren't cabins. they're retreats and if you have a house that big in the mountains it should be more Germanic or Scandinavian. The classic Wood or log cabin is more Slavic. Germanics used stone in the risers. much more attractive and culture. think of it as Russians simplifying shit besides the year of the Tzar the Russians are simple minded fucks. they Slavic use duct tape to fix the ISS and other space crafts, they're cheap bastardsJMHO
>>2959782they didn't look like that in the 1960s and 70s. they were beat up pieces of shit. when the wall came down, modernization happened. they actually got facade changes out with shutters and shit. before that they were very basic bitch
>>2961493Frazier before that
