  The pic on the left looks lived in, just needed an update on the carpet and cushions. Pic on the right looks like the inside of a lich’s phylactery.

  I think too many people are just being cintrariannbecause this style is popular now. I think it looks good.

  I like the height and thickness of the couch back pillows on the right. End of list of positive changes. Replacing the carpet was probably a good move too, but they did it wrong.

  The modern obsession with hard flooring (in reality: laminate) is whatever. There is, however, something almost comical about surrounding a central pit with all smooth surfaces, and then choosing a hard, pointy, rectangular table as the centerpiece.

  I think this soulless monochrome room could use a splash of red.

  Nice dentist’s waiting room you’ve created, you soulless ghouls.

  The original version was so peak, though. Now, it looks depressing :(

    The first one has character, it has SOUL.

    The second one went with soulless landlord chic. It has no character anymore.

  They are both ugly. The only thing worth preserving is the stone wall and the beams. The wood paneling on the walls is most likely just veneer. I’m not really a fan of lacquered wood paneled walls unless they have some eye catching feature. The smoothness makes them look like a floor.

    Really? The only ugly thing on the left is the carpet and its color.

      I’d personally keep a carpet but go with an olive rather than the blue-green that it is in the left pic

  Better just tap them in back of the head with your foot as they sit in the bland it.

  For someone who is not on the usa. How does this structure look like beneath? Is there really space wasted to have some part of the room at a little lower level?

    I’ve never been in a house with a conversation pit, almost no Americans have actually seen one. They’re a leftover from the 60s and 70s when people were high on coke or “weight loss” pills.

      My dad had one years ago - house was built in the mid 60s. Phoenix area. No basement. Concrete slab. So yeah, the slab was poured with that pit in it, under it was just dirt.

  The one in the left definitely needed an update. The carpet is awful, the railing is outdated, the wood paneling is dreary. But the “remodel” (ai?) is not great either. Pergo flooring looks cheap. Solid black & white everything makes it look like a store at the mall. There’s no life to it.

  Both designs are wrong. But one of them is bordering on brutalism and depression.

  Did millennials all just become color blind? It’s all black, white, and grey with their color schemes.

    it’s more like colorfulness is connected to a hopeful outlook on life, and grayscale thinking occurs when people have depression …

    • buddascrayon@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      No, I don’t think that is why. There have been much more depressing times in the past and those were just as colorful as any other time. I think the thing that has most influenced the color palette of millennials, or rather the lack of, is the rise of the internet and social media. People don’t want to stand out and be mocked for being different. Especially in a climate where being different can actually cost you quite a bit. I believe this is especially true of interior decorators and designers who often set the trends for people to use.

      There’s also something to be said for an extreme backlash to the home makeover shows that were all the rage back in the late aughts. I think a lot of people still have trauma from the “experimental” bullshit that some of those designers did to their “clients” all in the name of chasing ratings.

    Millennial here. I just remodeled my kitchen and bathroom. It was a fucking battle to get my wife to agree to wood cabinets instead of bland white or millennial blue. I got her to agree to a deep sea blue tile for one shower wall because almost everything else in the bathroom was white or grey.

    Most people don’t have originality or any sense of color, so they look online and see these sterile white rooms that photograph well but lack character. They just mimic what they see because it’s easier than having actual preferences.

  Apart from the garish turquoise carpet, I think the original looks timelessly vintage.

  Whereas the one on the right looks fashionable, but has almost no character of its own - kind of like those rich people houses you see on YouTube listed for millions, but nobody actually ever seems to buy.

  White wall at the wood panelling, natural wood color for the exposed beams, leave the fireplace exposed, normal colored oak floors, with a Persian rug… That would probably all work on updated but not sterile bullshit way

  I really don’t like the turquoise carpet on the left, remove that and I’d be happy.

  It’s giving fancy doctors / realtors office now. I think a modern refresh on the original 60’s look would have been better.

  Looks like what my cousin did to my grandparents house before flipping it for double what my mom got from them for it. Guess that’s what you get for being nice.
