Why does everyone want white and gray inside houses?

[19magic]

Personally I want some bright and dark colours, not like neon green or anything. But like royal blue in the living room; pastel greens, yellow, pink, purple for hallways and bathroom/toilets and another bold colour/combo for kitchens and bedrooms.

Yet whenever I watch house shows its always monochrome, silver, gray, white and the ocational creams

What's your opinion on house decor

Monochrome

Bold colours interspaced with softer pastel colours

I like everything in this post but they're all nice, the first picture is one I like, not too keep on all the bright yellows but most are okay www.countryliving.com/.../

Because white makes things look visually more open and spacious.
Colored walls make things look smaller and far more claustrophobic, which is not what most people want from their homes.

That's primarily why walls have traditionally been painted in white or very light colors.

But then you combine it in mirrors or half and half, have a feature wall or two walls one colour and the other two another, I've seen people say they want their room to look like a hotel and I keep thinking I can't think of anything worse lol

I can understand wanting more light but having every room of the house the same colour is boring and no personality, so whats your opinion what do you prefer?

Hah, I like the opposite- brutalist/modernist architecture with open floor plans and minimalist all-white interiors, including furniture.

I like very practical environments without decorations or trumpery hanging around.
Solid colors, lacks of patterns, and a very homogeneous look to things.

Something like that:

Haha yeah very opposite, I'd be too afraid to do anything and would have to clean 24/7 no good with kids around

Bold colors are nice but if your rooms are small then colors like white and creams give the illusion that your room isn't so small. My mom did that. The bedrooms are white and light blues but the dining room and living room is a dark red and green.

I love chrome and all things neutral colored lol

Homes for sale tend to favor the neutral colors so they don't distract from the house itself.

I'm not sure the exact colors I like, but I hate a house thats too white. I do like cabin like houses with brown colors

[19magic]

I do get that, I once watched an hour show where this guy made his house about 70% of wood and was really nice

[Opinion Owner]

I think wood feels more natural. I've watched house hunters with my family a few times, and there are so many houses that are so white it's jarring. They describe it as "modern" but I hate it lmao. I love wood houses personally

[19magic]

Exactly I'm not saying I want a room to be a rainbow but like a blue palate, in my parents house they have a red and black kitchen but there's two large windows and a patio sliding door so tonnes of light the dark colours match, I do like the rustic look too but when it's all grey it's too plain for me. I don't think I'll ever have a white wall, furniture doors skirting boards etc then yeah sure but not walls I'm glad not everyone is into the hotel look lol

Ideally I would like all surfaces mirrored for maximum disorientation

People want white and grey inside houses?

[19magic]

Yep probably a bit of black, and brown from wood but that's pretty much it, personally I find that boring but what's your decor in a dream home

[coffeewithcream]

I don't have a dream home.
:)

[MadBoy]

Easier to clean and match with I guess?

[OpenNudist]

It's Apparent that You're Insane.

[19magic]

Why am I insane? Whats wrong with bringing a bit of the outside inside

[OpenNudist]

I truly am sorry after answering so many questions and responses I literally just forgot the original comment or question to be perfectly honest.

[19magic]

That's okay, was wondering why different room decor was insane lol what's your dream house decor look like
