CREATURE ALERT :3:

I kinda like it. If I lived there I'd find wall art with a bit more personality, but understated gray without any oppressive brightness or cheer is my thing, even though I can recognize this isn't terribly exciting.

At the very least, there's enough contrast it doesn't give me the directionless void feeling of the true minimalist/monochrome rooms.

"Oh, you're tired of gray? Well, how about this? Warm gray!"

edit: as someone who lives in a city with a lot of cloudy days and really long winter nights, I do appreciate seeing home decor photos that aren't pretending that houses only exist on bright sunny days with off-camera bounce lights. Designing for darkness is its own skillset and a lot of the stuff that works in vibrantly lit spaces looks hideous without proper interior lighting (pot lights are not the answer).

I wish my laundry room wasn't just a small closet the width of a washer and dryer. I would love to have a space that actually had room to fold clothes, hang dry stuff, store cleaning supplies, etc.
