All downstream of turning housing from shelter into speculation. Everyone wants to flip their house for more than they paid, everyone want to profit off some sucker, so ease of reselling is paramount.
My boomer boss was bragging about his equity in his two homes and how his tenants paid off his mortgage etc.

I guess this is the home design/decor thread. How the fuck do I design my apartment? It’s not a studio it has walls a bedroom a separate kitchen but it’s 400 square feet. It used to be a hotel once upon a time someone bought the building and converted the units. I have a lot of free range for upgrading, can paint walls etc it just has to look good.
Do I just go with a white and get brown walnut furniture? It has white tile. I was contemplating getting that fake snap in place wood flooring for everything except the bathroom and kitchen. I’m not trying to do anything over the top just make this place feel like my home
What wood color for the floors?


If I can get this done, the paint and floors to match it I could more easily get furniture that looks good. It’s currently got the landlord special with this nasty blue paint on every wall. I’m thinking white because if I don’t like it then that’s easy enough to decide on a new color and paint over

From an Australian perspective
>shit building standards
>no warranty on houses
>tradies being the dodgiest people on this green earth
>race to the bottom
>housing crisis means anything will fly
>uninspired architecture

from an interior design perspective
>people not knowing shit about decorating
>not just choosing one style and sticking to it

my house was built in the 70s and has no structural issues whatsoever. double brick, decent windows, just needs insulation. no asbestos at all.
interior was redesigned by an overly weathly engineer so it has blackbutt flooring, nice white walls, black marble countertops.
my before is sticking to a Scandinavian theme but not just all IKEA, solid woods, white colours and multiple sources of lighting. in fact I would say most people don't understand how to light a house well and that makes a huge difference

so in short
>shitty build quality
>clueless home owners who can't even follow a Pinterest image

If we’re talking about interiors then consumers decided they would rather spend $3,000 on a matching living room set than hand select a $2500 couch and a $500 coffee table and and a $250 end table and a $1,000 media cabinet and 3 $400 bookshelves and 2 $400 floor lamps plus a $200 table lamp.
as a result furniture companies optimized for pumping out said living room sets that were inoffensive to as many people as possible for as little money as possible.
