I’m really sad as a Millennial that this aesthetic has been dubbed “Millennial gray.” I’ve watched some videos on it that make the case that it’s a backlash from the 70s aesthetic we grew up with combined with poor financial prospects in early adulthood, meaning we couldn’t buy a lot of or very nice furniture. Now that I’m firmly middle-aged, I can afford better stuff and my husband and I are slowly turning over crap particle-board furniture for nice solid wood pieces (often secondhand) in the craftsman style.

Mudhuts will always be in. Don’t move with the flow, be the rock every drowning man needs.

The 1990 looks like 1890. I’d suggest that makes it the timeless decor.

I prefer rustic cottage theme. I never get tired of it and if someone else thinks it’s ugly… Cool, don’t live with me then.

Millennial gray is timeless!
You can decorate it with anything because it’s so neutral
Only partially joking
