“It really brings the grey out in the floor” was a thing that was actually said by an interior designer on TV.

@sanguish we have all the colours … tan, beige, ecru, sand, taupe…

@octothorpe don’t forget that staple, brown

@sanguish oooh, exotic!

@octothorpe There is a designer in Toronto who got a lot of time air time on all the local talk shows, and, I swear, in spite of being gay, all his colour schemes were beige. I do not know how he got the following he did and he even got a bedding line in one of the chains, but beige, beige, beige.
I mean, I like a nice taupe from time to time, but beige, beige, beige? With some black accents to spice things up.
And yes, I expect more from the gay designer brethren.

@CStamp the larger issue is the reality that most people, when confronted with colour, prefer the boring, safe choices (especially when staging houses). So yeah, I fault the designers, but also clients who are boring as fuck. (See also most cars these days being white/black/grey)

I know rich lumps meeting with arty types love to be patronized and told stories like kids at bedtime so they can feel really special about their voluminous spaces of ownership. So I'm gonna guess the designer sells her wares as "homes being like people" and went with jewelry.
Not sure I wanna meet Grampa Garage and Granny Pantry if that's the case.
Nope. I don't overthink things all the time at all.

@GGMcBG I can no longer unthink ‘granny pantry’.

It's what I do.

@GGMcBG oh noooo
