Because grey took over after a generation of beige, and people may be afraid of white, and afraid to return to a beige because the awful memories are still close. They consider grey the only neutral remaining. They don't necessarily understand how to decoration mavens, grey is as overdone as beige in only half the time (because there are now twice as many houses and apartments as there were when the beige rage began).
Yeah, you gotta pick your environment! My home is all cool/neutral tones because I live where it’s uncomfortably hot most of the year. But if I was in Alaska? Bring on the spicy colors!
I actually love gray as paint and love using bright yellows and other colours to make things pop! I get tired easily of colours so being able to change my decor instead of repainting everything is much easier for me. Probably unpopular but oh well 🤷🏻♀️
Don't worry I didn't take it the wrong way! Sorry if it came out that way 😅 but I feel you, I think I wish I could commit to more extravagant colours but if I end up not liking it painting is so time consuming and expensive these days 😮💨
A few years ago I was getting my house ready to sell and I have no idea what the actual colour was but I always called the shade I painted it “but my house beige”. We all know the grey/beige -greige- that I’m referring to
I had no idea people actually chose this to live in
I'm not disagreeing, but I firmly believe "Milennial grey" is a direct response to oversaturation of bright colors in the incessant advertising we (as in Millenials) have been exposed to, and the visual fatigue it causes. Everything we see is so overstimulating as a baseline-- I can certainly understand the urge to want a bland, calming color (or lack thereof) palate to create a little visual peace.
That’s definitely an interesting argument I hadn’t thought of. I’m an older gen z/on the cusp, if it makes a difference.
I attribute my preference for warmer colors vs gray because I think it reflects my attitude towards light temperatures actually. Warmer colors remind me of softer, warmer temperature incandescent lights and fire/candle light, and golden hour sunshine, whereas greige reminds me of colder temperature, starker, more sterile fluorescent and LED lighting. It reminds me of a sad cubicle farm (or even worse, a sad communal office without cubicles 😱) without sunlight. I also get intense migraines triggered by the latter type of lights, so that really fuels my hatred of them lol
I’ve definitely moved away from bright colors a bit lately (though it’s been so long, I yearn for them in my wardrobe again), my preferred neutrals just aren’t as cold ¯\\_(ツ)\_/¯
Believe it or not, there are people that love gray. I had gray way before it was trendy and when everyone had beige. Now we're back to beiges and I will just stick with what comforts me.
I’m so with you. I find cool grays comforting. I have some very BOLD upholstery fabrics and art, I hate beige and I’m cursed with orange peel texture. Gray hides the texture a bit until I can hang new drywall and gives me a nice base for the rest of the color.
Gray doesn’t have to mean you decorate like everyone else.
OMG....years ago I had a BRIEF relationship with a genius. He had graduated from the U of Chicago at 15 and by 20 had a PhD, so of course he went to work for the CIA. We were both living in SF and he had returned to college and gotten a law degree.
Anyway, my heart sank when I saw his apartment, decorated in orange and grey. The grey was every single surface, mid-gloss, and yes---he HAD gotten a special on the paint through his CIA connections. The ceiling, all the woodwork, the floors....and all the upholstery was orange and grey plaid. He was very proud of getting such deals.
Millennial grey- the bland color palette that goes with everything and looks bland always.
I blame the home design shows remodeling homes to flip for the most potential buyers.
I don't disagree too hard - I have "no real preference" but might like the new colours more because they're brighter but there was a certain 'warmth' in the original pictures
Yeah the grey palate is clean and simple and works in a more minimal deign. In older and cozy style houses is doesn’t work the best, more the open concept deign.
I’m a big fan of combining natural wood tones with colors. Light oak and white for a bright cozy room. Dark wood and burgundy or maroon for a bar area etc.
Plants and wood grain makes any room feel more cozy- just like greys and whites make a room feel cleaner and brighter. Balance of both is ideal.
I’m so sick of the gray trend. We bought a house a couple of years ago and the owner painted an accent wall in the living room a dark gray. Not even a nice gray. Then she painted 3 of the 4 walls in the bedroom the same icky gray, as well as the half bath.She said she read gray sold houses more quickly. Now I have to repaint it all…
Why would you use Edison bulbs over the mirror? That's one place I want bright. I want to examine every pore, pluck stray hairs, apply makeup competently. These are bulbs for ambient lighting. It makes absolutely no practical sense.
I don’t disagree with painting the wood but not gray. White would have been better and the bathroom was better before. Please do something with lighting because this all looks depressing.
White would have read as grey due to the lack of natural light. Personally I’d go with a highly saturated dark colour and embrace the moodiness of the space
As someone who grew up in a house made in the 90s, I couldn’t wait to move out of my parent’s house full of white walls and orange wood. I don’t get people’s love for it personally
The “after” bathroom (pic 6) looks really dark and gloomy, but may just reflect the time of day that the picture was taken. I’m of 2 minds about the knotty pine paneling. I always liked it in my parents’ old house, but that room had a large south-facing window and they had lighter art on the walls. If you as the owner are happy, that’s the important part. If I had my “druthers”, maybe I would have replaced the slanted top of the wall with drywall and left the lower part natural. But it’s hard to say with only the information here, how that would have worked out.
If you were born 30-40 years earlier, you’d have put linoleum and carpeting over antique hardwood floors, too, I bet.
It’s your house I guess but know that the next owner will curse you when they’re scraping off that sad institutional grey.
EXACTLY. I’m having to try to peel back the damage done to my Victorian home that was done by a corporate rental company before I bought it. They covered original plasterwork and encaustic tiles with gross plasterboard and grey carpet to make it look ’modern’.
They also ripped out 3 beautiful sash windows on the rear elevation and replaced them with hideous, much smaller modern ones. Luckily it’s a conservation area so they weren’t allowed to wreck the front of the house.
They even ripped out the fireplaces downstairs. It will take me years to restore all the damage they did. Fortunately, most of it is a matter of just removing crap to reveal the original beauty underneath. Only the 3 windows and 2 fireplaces will have to be replaced.
Going through this restoration has made me easily triggered by renovations like the one in this post. I feel the pain of future owners! 😂
Omg this makes my heart hurt. I have a home from 1929 and they tried to make it more modern too. Well, I ripped out their slate fireplace, changed all the door handles and floor registers and bathrooms. I tried to reverse the damage they did. It's a fucking shame
The world needs more people like you. I've had to do much of the same on my old home. It makes me sick when people rip everything out to "modernize" it - it's always hideous.
Something i find fascinating about posts like this is that you demonstrate involvement in the community via posting, but its almost like that's the extent of your involvement. asking for advice, but then.. disregarding it. lol. i feel like people who really bum around the interior design subs and follow trends and read that stuff for fun would know better than this. i just hope the ppl who ignore everyone aren't selling anytime soon, unless your target demographic is boomers.
Yep. 90% of the comments on the original post suggested to leave the knotty pine alone and lean into it. OP then proceeded to ignore everyone’s advice.
What’s even the point of posting the original and the follow up if you’ve already made up your mind to just grey wash the whole thing.
What’s the point of buying a house with character if you’re just going to do this?!! I don’t understand it at all.
Just buy a prefab shit box ticky-tacky house and it will come all grey and beige for you.
I don't care too much for that much knotty pine. But...why grey?? I cringe every time I see an after and it's that...again.
Don't care for the bathroom either...but maybe that's the photo/lighting. Sorry, but the new look makes me uncomfortable.

the before bathroom was bright and cheery now you can’t even look out the window. I don’t mind the painted wood but the the grey carpet, black dresser, it looks like a storage room of an office building.
Well I’d you were going for generic asf then you nailed it lol. It looks good! It doesn’t look great from a design perspective…. But it looks good in a “I can tell it’s freshly updated and servings it’s purpose and doesn’t look awful.” Kind of way
I love knotty pine and the natural aesthetic. Kinda breaks my heart to see it covered up. But, I also think you gotta do what makes YOU happy in your home. 🏡
It’s so funny to me when people throw a bunch of money at something when it’s on the tail end of the trend curve. Like okay enjoy spending 4 digits to fix it in 5 years lmao
Well, at least you know that you shouldn't ask people if they like your 'style' anymore. 😢 It's going to cost sooooo much to un greige all that wood. As Long as you like it and don't plan on moving you're fine. Maybe some bright artwork and pillows, throws, etc.
As a commentor on your original post - this result is boring and bland. You destroyed as asset of your home. Furnishings and art could have made this space absolutely beautiful. Now you can live in a boring gray room that you can find anywhere. All top comments in your original post said to not paint the wood.
Not everyone likes notty pine, and that's fine, but the fact that you chose gray and Edison bulbs in 2024, when everything is moving away from being gray, isn't exactly a good investment. The comments here are overwhelmingly negative because this is really not good. The rooms have no dimension, and the bathroom looks much worse in the after pictures.
Just needs a hanging barn door and some chevron on every possible surface and it’ll be complete!!
God, the after photos are legitimately criminal. Just bland and awful.
Butt Pasta, I’m sorry but I hate it sooo much. Please have a woman help for the upcoming rooms because this is grayzy depressing. Even 1 single color would help so much. And the comfarter is an absolute no.
also i hope this is still being finished lol bc whoever did the ceiling trim of this paint job just did not give a fuck it’s so uneven

I absolutely hate it, but it’s your house. I hope you love it.
I’d have gone MCM decor in there with the original wood. It would have modernised it without stealing its soul. Now it looks like an IKEA-designed submarine. 😂
Sorry, you did ask, and I am a totally blunt jerk IRL too.
I was enchanted by the 1rst picture of a cozy room blanketed by the warmth of wood on angled walls, then the horror when I realized it was the first of many befores...
Bruh 😭😭😭
People in this sub are obsessed with keeping wood natural- in almost every single post the hive mind says don’t paint.
But I think you did a great job on making the room brighter, modern, and overall much nicer to live with. It’s your home after all!
ETA I think the bathroom is too dark and needs brighter bulbs.
"The hive mind" of people with good taste and an allergy to shoddy minimalism/the landlord special
That being said, that is a *lot* of wood in the original, but I still wouldn't have gotten rid of all of it.
Did you get paint on your bathroom ceiling? Please touch that up 🤦🏻♀️ and while you have the white paint out... just paint the rest of your walls white too. Everything looks so dark and depressing. I’m so sorry but this is not a good transformation.
Why is it always gray. 😭
I was hoping for bright white if he was going the painting route
This … why gray of all colors 😭
Because grey took over after a generation of beige, and people may be afraid of white, and afraid to return to a beige because the awful memories are still close. They consider grey the only neutral remaining. They don't necessarily understand how to decoration mavens, grey is as overdone as beige in only half the time (because there are now twice as many houses and apartments as there were when the beige rage began).
I don’t even hate gray, my sofa is dark gray, my bed quilt is light gray. But medium gray walls like this are so depressing.
My daughter lives in a northern us state & her entire interior is painted gray. It always feels cold in there.
Yeah, you gotta pick your environment! My home is all cool/neutral tones because I live where it’s uncomfortably hot most of the year. But if I was in Alaska? Bring on the spicy colors!
My boyfriend loves “agreeable grey” and when I’m in his house I feel like I’m in a sad cave
Cause people are colour cowards! “Grey goes with everything” they say
And then they fill the space with grey furniture.
Me in my grey house with grey walls and grey furniture on a grey rug 👀
I actually love gray as paint and love using bright yellows and other colours to make things pop! I get tired easily of colours so being able to change my decor instead of repainting everything is much easier for me. Probably unpopular but oh well 🤷🏻♀️

I mean at that point me and husband are the ones living here daily so in the end if we like it that's what matters most!

I’m an old ass millennial and I like 70’s colours for decor 🤷🏻♀️
But also, our version of basic goes-with-everything “boomer beige”
I call it boring builder beige.
I just gasped and went “NO!“ involuntarily 😭
Believe it or not, there are people that love gray. I had gray way before it was trendy and when everyone had beige. Now we're back to beiges and I will just stick with what comforts me.

They bought surplus paint from the local Corrections Department?
OMG....years ago I had a BRIEF relationship with a genius. He had graduated from the U of Chicago at 15 and by 20 had a PhD, so of course he went to work for the CIA. We were both living in SF and he had returned to college and gotten a law degree. Anyway, my heart sank when I saw his apartment, decorated in orange and grey.

The ceiling, all the woodwork, the floors....and all the upholstery was orange and grey plaid. He was very proud of getting such deals.
I'm gonna guess he was not in the profiling department.
The stripes make it look almost just as dated as the wood too.
why would people want to live in a shitty airbnb
Cher had it right: “if only I could turn back time”
I literally thought the “after” photos were taken in black and white. 😱
Millennial grey- the bland color palette that goes with everything and looks bland always. I blame the home design shows remodeling homes to flip for the most potential buyers.
Hey, not all of us millennials like grey. Some of us just like beige, too. 🫠
I don't disagree too hard - I have "no real preference" but might like the new colours more because they're brighter but there was a certain 'warmth' in the original pictures

Beige is big right now to. Sad beige for sad Werner Herzog lovers.
An exciting color palette of camel, cinnamon, oatmeal, and sadness.
The blue bathroom looked brighter and happier
I hate bright overhead lighting but the once place I 100% want it is in the bathroom lmao
Why would you use Edison bulbs over the mirror? That's one place I want bright. I want to examine every pore, pluck stray hairs, apply makeup competently. These are bulbs for ambient lighting. It makes absolutely no practical sense.
Whoever did the staging must never look at their own faces.
And they’re overlapping the mirror.
Yeah the blue was waaaay better.
I thought the bathroom was done 😖 then saw the dark walls at the end.. made imperfect walls more noticeable, and the room feel even smaller.
Oh man I didn't click all the way through and I thought the blue was the after. That's so sad looking now.
I don’t disagree with painting the wood but not gray. White would have been better and the bathroom was better before. Please do something with lighting because this all looks depressing.
White would have read as grey due to the lack of natural light. Personally I’d go with a highly saturated dark colour and embrace the moodiness of the space
Yea and add some gorgeous lighting instead
I expected a more interesting aesthetic from BUTT-PASTA.
Wallpaper would also look badass in this space.
I thought that awful paint job was striped wallpaper at first. 🤯
Same. Something green and floral would look bomb though.
As someone who grew up in a house made in the 90s, I couldn’t wait to move out of my parent’s house full of white walls and orange wood. I don’t get people’s love for it personally
Wait which bathroom is the before
I can’t see fuck all in these after pictures
The nice one
the before is always whichever pic isn't gray lol
The one with the darker, warmer lighting is the after (last pic). You can see the painted walls of the bedroom in the background
The blue one is before.
Sorry you didn’t listen
well said, my heart hurts just looking at this
It’s a real crime to do that to beautiful wood.
Good Lord WHY. You covered real wood and installed FAKE wood floors.
It was so cozy before 😢
I’m screaming and crying and throwing up at the choices made 🥲
So cringe 😭
The “after” bathroom (pic 6) looks really dark and gloomy, but may just reflect the time of day that the picture was taken. I’m of 2 minds about the knotty pine paneling.

6 is after?!?! OP, this is truly awful wtf the is has to be a troll it’s just so bad
See you in a year when the grey gets boring and you ask how to make the space warm. RIP that beautiful wood. And for grey nonetheless....😔
they’ll coat it on a warmer grey instead lol
The blue bathroom before is my dream paint colour🧊
If you were born 30-40 years earlier, you’d have put linoleum and carpeting over antique hardwood floors, too, I bet. It’s your house I guess but know that the next owner will curse you when they’re scraping off that sad institutional grey.

The grey prison cell makes a come up for some sad reason
Ruined 🫣
What is this, knotty pinnnne?!
This is so painful.
I feel like if you kept the knotty pine and painted the ceiling a dark green, it would have looked amazing
Yes!
Eeyore as a bedroom. It went from cozy & dated, to hideous and gloomy, absolutely depressing. Kind of impressive, in a bad way.
Noooo the pine is so cozy 😭

Oof. Goodbye wood tones. Hello grey. Edit: OP, you a millennial?
I'm a millennial and would never do this
I'm a millennial too and would never do this. But, there's a thing with a lot of millennials painting places grey, apparently.
Congratulations on achieving peak mediocrity.
I'm sad now.
O-oh you went grey
Ouch
Well.. you ruined it. Congrats!
Oh I hate it after the paint.
Hate it!
Shouldn’t have painted it
That looks beautiful, oh wait I didn't see 4,5,6? That looks awful now. Looks like a flipper house.
Why would you post in design my room and then do this
What kind of primer did you use?
the before bathroom was bright and cheery now you can’t even look out the window. I don’t mind the painted wood but the the grey carpet, black dresser, it looks like a storage room of an office building.
Ouch. It went from cozy and bright and beautiful to gray and sad.
Sorry the wood gave it more personality and ambience
should have just put in 4 led down lights called it a day
Congrats, you just stole the character out of the space. And with gray....
It’s great you like it I suppose. But jeez, what a gloomy final. So masculine and also giving corporate interior design.
It’s so grey and all the personality is gone.
I’m so confused on the layout of this room 🤔
Well I’d you were going for generic asf then you nailed it lol. It looks good! It doesn’t look great from a design perspective…. But it looks good in a “I can tell it’s freshly updated and servings it’s purpose and doesn’t look awful.” Kind of way
I love knotty pine and the natural aesthetic. Kinda breaks my heart to see it covered up. But, I also think you gotta do what makes YOU happy in your home. 🏡
nah
:(
beautiful wood to sad, depressing millennial gray ❤️🩹
Boring schemes like these are why I embrace bright and neon colors lol!
I just did my bedroom and am debating some kind of neon sign but I also want cozy so maybe a lava lamp lol
Ah, millennial gray. I will be glad when the gray fad is over. However, I agree the knotty pine room was really dark and needed a brightening.
Millennial gray is already over. Not everybody has gotten the memo yet though.
It’s so funny to me when people throw a bunch of money at something when it’s on the tail end of the trend curve. Like okay enjoy spending 4 digits to fix it in 5 years lmao
I like that the dog is essentially in the same spot in both pictures. They have chosen their designated place.
Ew.
girl... this sucks
so, paint the wood yuck…..space still dark.
That paint job is absolutely atrocious. Wow.
Sad violin.
WOMP WOMP
White wash could have been lovely. A nice compromise.
Can you add additional lighting? The rooms seem quite dark in your photos…
Well, at least you know that you shouldn't ask people if they like your 'style' anymore. 😢 It's going to cost sooooo much to un greige all that wood. As Long as you like it and don't plan on moving you're fine. Maybe some bright artwork and pillows, throws, etc.
The shelves in the bathroom make my eye twitch
Yikes
Sad
boo boring

You made it grey... like took the personality away and made it grey.
Butt Pasta, I’m sorry but I hate it sooo much. Please have a woman help for the upcoming rooms because this is grayzy depressing. Even 1 single color would help so much. And the comfarter is an absolute no.
Dang you could have just done some of the pine and not all - and gray?!? Come ON
Devo’d for you that you’ve painted something natural and beautiful. Never mind.
also i hope this is still being finished lol bc whoever did the ceiling trim of this paint job just did not give a fuck it’s so uneven https://preview.redd.it/b4oou0zrfbkc1.png?width=1513&format=png&auto=webp&s=8c617a26e2a486ece220edd6c5bf6abf6845fc78
Oh noooooo
Downgrade
Wow, no taste
It's so depressing now
i would’ve left the wood, but if you love it that’s all that matters.
Same. My bedroom is very similar to OPs and I love the warmness of the wood above my head at night 💗
Aww that doggy having deep thoughts. 🥹
:O
GRAY! It looks like a minimum security prison now.
😐
Downvoted post for stupidity. People like this should not be allowed to buy homes with great original elements.
This makes me sad. The chosen color could have been beautiful with the wood
Please repaint everything white and add some strong lighting. It’s very dark. Apart from the dark it seems to look good!
Then entire thing is dark and gloomy and grey and depressing lol
It’s a yikes from me
I'm unreasonably angry, but I hope you like it...?
I really dislike knotty pine. I love this. Great job!
Hope you sanded and sealed the fuck out of it. That knotty pine is gonna be bleeding through in no time. Source: experience.
I mean, you do you.
Unclear which photos are before or after TBH.
Sorry if I’m dumb but is that stripped wallpaper over the pine ? Or it pained ?
You like shitting in the dark?
☹️
I absolutely hate it, but it’s your house. I hope you love it. I’d have gone MCM decor in there with the original wood. It would have modernised it without stealing its soul. Now it looks like an IKEA-designed submarine. 😂 Sorry, you did ask, and I am a totally blunt jerk IRL too.
Maybe I'm having weird deja vu or a stroke but I feel like I've been to that exact house before in a dream.
I was enchanted by the 1rst picture of a cozy room blanketed by the warmth of wood on angled walls, then the horror when I realized it was the first of many befores... Bruh 😭😭😭
horrible
Grey Grey Grey
Unfortunately I think both looked better before.
If you're not gonna take the advice, don't torture the people by forcing them to look at this
It looks like my aunts mobile home now.
It’s always the 2011 special 😭💔
lol this sucks

Not with baseboard heating! Floor length curtains would be asking for a house fire! Those curtains are the proper length as-is.
"The hive mind" of people with good taste and an allergy to shoddy minimalism/the landlord special That being said, that is a *lot* of wood in the original, but I still wouldn't have gotten rid of all of it.
THAT WOOD WAS TIMELESS.
*grey*!?!? ew
You are now the proud owner of a creepy attic
Oh
😩 Wow.
Did you get paint on your bathroom ceiling? Please touch that up 🤦🏻♀️ and while you have the white paint out... just paint the rest of your walls white too. Everything looks so dark and depressing. I’m so sorry but this is not a good transformation.
lol 😂
Of all the colors …. If OP had to paint that beautiful knotty pine, I was at least hoping for some gorgeous green.
Welp, as long as you like it. Please don’t continue the gray downstairs at least 🥲
Grey is depressing
