I agree.

but we’re both unpopular. popular opinion is that everything should look like hotel. and if it doesn’t, it’s shitty and disgusting and awful. it’s ‘unclean’. as you can see from other comments here complaining how awful the 1990s version is.

but i confess my mentality is not upper middle class corporate where the goal is to be as inoffensive and neutral as possible. and for folks with that mentality, anything that isn’t grey and white with flat lighting, is awful and terrible.

i live in an old building with real wood floors and trim. people tell me it’s ‘unclean’ all the time and how I need to remove all the flooring and trim and put up that fake grey shit to make it ‘look clean’. and when I say ‘no, i like it this way, that’s why i bought it.’ they basically never come back to my house, because you know, clearly I’m mentally ill and disturbed if I can enjoy real mapled stained wood.

also freaks them to that i have solid wood doors, cabinets and such, instead of hollow plastic ones you find in new construction.
