It is interesting that we live in a world flooded with ads and intrusions everywhere now, and we don't see to want detail and attention in our living spaces anymore. I wonder if there's a relation.

as someone who lives in a world without ads and intrusions I enjoy my colorful house.
Looks great to me.
Now add some pops of color with paintings/art, rugs, throw pillows, and knick-knacks and you've got yourself a home.
Sorry but that horrible wallpaper from the original is the mildly infuriating part.
Yeah not a fan of wallpaper either. Removed like 3 layers of the stuff when we got our house. Awful.
People don't really believe that was a regular decoration for a regular house, do they?
It was deliberately coloured in Xmas colouring in all surfaces in a ludicrous way. It's certainly not a standard anyone was actually living to.
gross.
how depressing.
Ah yes, the installation of "millenial gray" because obviously what matters about houses is your ability to sell it 🙄
I don't know where the term millennial gray comes from, but it is very truthful.
It's like a disease that infects homes they have passed though. They paint their depression all over the walls, in various shades of white, black, gray and on rare occasion, taupe.
What made these poor souls afraid of colors?
They've infected the cars too. Each parking lot a sea of black white and gray.
I had no idea that my generation was getting stereotyped for the blame here. I'm a millennial and fuckin hate the gray-plastic austere, and the bland colors of today's cars is actually one (Of very many many) reason I'd never buy a new one.
I would wage good money that very few millennials are buying new cars
As a younger millennial I can't afford to take you up on that bet.
Every generation has a reaction to the previous. Many millennials grew up in cluttered homes with orange kitchen tiles and purple carpets in the bathroom. The counter reaction to that is minimalism and grey. Now we're seeing a new trend that leans toward cozy and color again.
I would like to invite everyone who has ever carpeted a bathroom on an exclusive 4-day weekend in the genital blowtorching booth.

If you look at the proportions on the railings and windows, it is very clearly not the same house. Stairs and a foyer is a really common layout.
very clearly not the same ho
It's real, but there are gotchas
It's a 5 million dollar home in near Chicago that sat on the market for ages so it got a pretty significant makeover.
However, most of the rooms were recreated and shot on a soundstage. Other than the main entrance and a couple of scenes it was too small to film in.
I had to make sure my eyes are looking at the supposed interior, uh, "refresh" isn't something made with ChatGPT.
I bet the owner of this house also has a, ugh, Tesla in the garage.
I'd rather choose the more iconic tacky but more identifiably human and warm interior design over that horribly sterile aesthetic.
You do know that the inside of that house in the movie was built on a sound stage. That only the exterior of the house was shot for the movie.
Some shots were done on a sound stage but I'm pretty sure this part is from the actual house. https://www.atlasofwonders.com/2023/01/home-alone-house-location.html?m=1
A lot off tmes this happens. Nice and personal... Soulless. All those housingreality is the same. O we have a nice home... Lets make it 'unitysoussage' white with some accents.
Nice and personal… Soulless.
Is a black/white color actually scheme soulless? Or is it merely the absence of clutter, no accumulation of wear-and-tear, and the blue filter used for the lighting?
Put six people in that black/white house for a week and it'll be a cluttered mess. Throw a yellow-filter on the lighting and it'll look more warm and inviting.
The problem isn’t the color scheme by itself. The problem is that there are 350,000 houses identical to this one all over the country. It’s soulless because they turned them all into cookie cutter copies of each other
From warm to cold.
The first one is interesting, as it shows that they have vastly extended the house to the rear. The door under the stairs led to a half-bath (toilet and sink), and that was the buildings' end.
If you ask me how I know that: I got the original house plans from the net and plan to - one day - build a proper LEGO model of it. Not the shrunken one they offer as a set, but built to scale from those plans, with the driveway, the garage, the garden with the tree and tree house.
I get what you're saying, but switching my gaze between the two is like turning a siren off when I see the "after" pic. It's desolate and boring, but it's not AWOOOGAAAA
