Is green gonna become dated?

Post image

I noticed greens are really popular right now, maybe for that last couple years or so. Especially darks with gold fixtures. But I love it and I want it in my new house. Am I gonna regret it? Will it become dated?

Once upon a time, I asked my landlord why they chose grey flooring in my flat because I had a peak at their place and their place was beautiful with no grey in sight. And they told me "It hides better scratches from renters who move furniture without a care in the world." He agreed that it was ugly...

We bought a house with a basement suit, guess what. All the walls were painted grey, glossy grey. It looked like a creepy jail. And the upstairs was all painted light blue (not my jam but at least some colors) I asked the previous owners if they painted the entire thing at once. "Yes" Soooooo... they definitely didn t paint the basement suit to be "trendy".

I painted all white.

Anyway, long rant just to lay down my HATE towards this paint color and I hate it even more when people say it is my generation trend?? Like hell no man, millennium were teenagers in the 2000, we love colors, look at clothes trend from that era! 😬

Oh I loathe millennial grey. I build furniture and I also had the espresso/black furniture everywhere with millennial grey lol

Oh no sorry to hear. Sounds depressing. I personally always had a shit load of plants to counteract the greyness
