White house would work perfectly as an airBNB. Sterile, non-threatening, downright hotel-like. That's it's new use now right?

I don't know how the City of Oakland feels, but San Francisco recently told flippers to gently caress themselves and rebuild a house as it was. PS the only thing I hate more than barn doors is shiplap.

"You walk into this house versus another house that's on the market and it's not going to be the same because of all the details I gave a lot of thought to. “Attention to detail” is flipper code for “just like every other flip,” right?

I think it works if they had accents that were really playful and the walls needed to neutralize that. They have nothing though other than other bland pieces of art / furniture.

Ymmv but I find neutral color palettes really restful. I'm mostly home just to sleep and chill out, so peaceful and restful is the vibe I want. There's plenty else I dislike about that design, but the palette isn't a problem for me. I wouldn't be a fan of living in a blank white box, but when I'm living in a space, I find there's enough color from belongings -- books, jewelry, art supplies, whatever -- to bring life to the neutral background. Texture and outline are also crucial for making a monochromatic space seem cozy imo.

Paint samples at Lowe’s and poo poo literally have coordinated colors on the back on them. Like, “hey you like this color? Check out these two accent colors that go well with it!”

When my friends and I moved in to the house I'm currently in there were some really childish colors in two of the bedrooms (shockingly because they were kids rooms) so we got approval from the landlord to repaint. We were three single IT nerds with no eye for color, we just went to Home Depot and looked at their sample cards until we found a few combinations that we liked. Plain white walls suck.

The interior is sterile as hell, but it beats.... whatever crackhouse-chic they had in before with the pink ceilings in the bedroom, dark ceilings everywhere else, and the $10/dozen cabinet doors everywhere? They hosed up by removing a few of the exterior design touches and making the facade completely faceless, but everything else is far from the crime against humanity/good taste goons are making it out to be. Get some color on the walls, don't HDR the gently caress out of it with literally every single bit of extra lighting on at once, and you've got a rather decent living space, even if it is open-plan.

Neutral shades are the best but I hate the smell of drying paint enough I might not repaint in white unless the existing colour is truly offensive.

We repainted our living room to a very light grey and it loving rules. Now it rules because it really makes the wood floors, wood fireplace mantle, and plants we have pop.

Oh, so we're back to playing this stupid loving game where where someone says grey-white cube living sucks, and a bunch of people rush in to explain how it's actually the best because color comes from other furnishings that only exist in their heads. I don't care if you like white walls, but that house is boring as gently caress made all the worse by how much detail was lost in the renovation. It needed the crappy updates like the kitchen and the carpets peeled back. It did not need to have all the Edwardian details sanded off to approximate lovely modernism.

My wife, who went to school for interior design and architecture and works as a graphic designer, has chosen shades of grey for all of the rooms in our house - after complaining that every room was a shade of yellow when we bought it. What gets me the most, besides the furniture also all being grey, is that the difference in the shade from room to room is so subtle. Under most conditions, you can't see the difference room to room. I'm sure that a board certified color scientist can verify the differences with advanced testing equipment, but for the most part under most lighting conditions, its all grey to me. I have to keep a spreadsheet of which can of paint goes with which room in case anything every has to be repaired.

But in real life, you have this situation going on around some corners:  Here's an unedited photo of a room we are working on - There are three shades of grey here. Left- Perfect Taupe, Right Top - Natural Grey, Right Lower - Cotton Grey  Indeed very different side by side under ideal conditions, but they all blend together in the real world.

It took me a second, but that's a 90° angle where the corner is closest to us and it recedes way more on the right, yeah? If so, those three are all really distinct. It could get weird with buckets of paint, since it would look different wet. But usually you just write the room on a piece of painters' tape and stick that on the can, it's not usually a job involving spreadsheets.
